It doesn't make sense that Russia and Ukraine aren't sitting down and working out some kind of agreement. If they don't do so soon, there will be nothing left. This is a war that never should have happened, but it did. The solution can never be as good as it would have been before the shooting started, but there is a solution and it should be figured out now-not later-when everyone will be DEAD!

On Thursday, CIA Chief William Burns gave his first public speech as director at the Georgia Institute of Technology addressing the dual threat of China and Russia.

The White House on Monday said it was “disappointing” that a federal judge ruled against the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) mandate for all people to wear masks on public transportation. “This is obviously a disappointing decision,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing on Monday in reaction to the ruling.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Tecate, California, seized more than 400 pounds of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin concealed in toolboxes in an April 1 seizure worth an estimated $2.56 million.

Testing confirmed the suspected narcotics to be slightly more than 415 pounds of cocaine,...

United Airlines on Monday said it would no longer enforce COVID mask mandates for employees and travelers after a federal judge’s move to void the Biden administration’s mask mandate for travelers. "Effective immediately, masks are no longer required at United on domestic flights, select international flights (dependent upon the arrival country’s mask requirements) or at U.S. airports," the company told FOX Business in a statement." "While this means that our employees are no longer required to wear a mask – and no longer have to enforce a mask requirement for most of the flying public – they will be able...

A Florida federal judge and Trump appointee has liberated the U.S. airlines from the tyranny of having to enforce mask mandates. United and Alaska airlines did not waste any time in seconding that ruling by dropping their own mask requirements. ...

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) took time out of her Easter Sunday to criticize Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) for one of her campaign ads during an appearance on MSNBC. The 30-second spot features a defiant Ivey rejecting President Joe Biden’s immigration policies and the possibility of Alabamians having to learn Spanish given an influx of illegal Spanish-speaking immigrants. “No way, Jose,” the Alabama governor declared in the ad. Waters was on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” and condemned Ivey for what she called “plain racist ignorance, in your face.” In comments given to Breitbart News, Ivey declared a “liberal” California congresswoman...

"If the evidence is correct and no logical errors have been made, a 13th Amendment restricting lawyers from serving in government was ratified in 1819 and removed from US Constitution during the tumult of the Civil War. Since the Amendment was never lawfully repealed, it is still the Law today. The implications are enormous." It should be noted that Lincoln was the first attorney POTUS

Former President Trump on Monday called for an end to the violence in Ukraine weeks after Moscow launched its unprovoked military attack. “It doesn’t make sense that Russia and Ukraine aren’t sitting down and working out some kind of an agreement,” Trump, who initially praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as “smart” over the invasion before later denouncing the move as genocide, said in a statement. “If they don’t do it soon, there will be nothing left but death, destruction, and carnage,” he added. “This is a war that never should have happened, but it did.

A handler clad in an Easter Bunny suit leapt into action on Monday when it looked like Joe Biden was spending too much time talking to people about foreign policy during the White House Easter Egg roll. The Biden White House welcomed approximately 30,000 guests to the annual event, which had been cancelled for the past two years due to the pandemic. Because of the poor quality of the audio, Biden’s words were not clear, but he appeared to be discussing Pakistan and Afghanistan to a group of guests during the festive event. Abigail Marone, the press secretary for Senator...

Covid Fanaticism: Cardinal Parolin Refuses Entry To Cardinal BurkeCardinal Parolin who was contacted by phone, personally stopped Cardinal Burke from entering the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints, just outside St Peter’s square, ChurchMilitant.com (April 18) writes.Burke's fault: He is injection-free.

The rest of the world might not allow it. But Joe Biden wants to return his focus to matters happening at home. With the war in Ukraine entering its second month and continuing to dominate global headlines, White House allies are expressing concern that voters may see the resident as more consumed by international affairs than domestic ones. The White House itself is keenly aware that voters’ perceptions about the economy are still likely to determine the outcome of November’s midterm elections. And as they warily watch the resident’s poor poll numbers, two senior administration officials said a concerted effort...

The Walt Disney Co. reportedly labelled beloved animated characters including Tinker Bell and Captain Hook from the 1953 movie Peter Pan as “potentially problematic” as it was preparing to launch the Disney+ streaming service, noting the characters could necessitate a disclaimer for perpetuating negative stereotypes. Ursula from the 1989 movie The Little Mermaid also raised concerns of racism and homophobia. Disney began an extensive review of its film library as it prepared to introduce the streaming service in 2019, according to a New York Times report.

Seattle police arrested two men after a road rage altercation at Pike Place Market on Sunday. The incident began when two men — one a 32-year-old driving an SUV and the other a 45-year-old in a van — exchanged heated words as the SUV was turning onto First Avenue along Pike Place Market.

Russian soldiers have installed a Lenin statie in captured Ukrainian territory per twitter.

President Joe Biden just set another record: The worst inflation since 1981, as consumer prices climbed a staggering 8.5% over the 12 months ending in March. That’s our sixth straight month of inflation above 6%, and our 11th straight month above 5%. The White House response? A waiver to allow usually banned sales of high-ethanol gasoline over the summer, which impacts only the gas sold at 2,300 gas stations nationwide, out of around 150,000 total. Pathetic. The inflation picture gets even uglier when you drill down (though, of course, Team Biden opposes new drilling). Fuel oil is up an eye-popping...

A North Carolina medical school put one of its students 'on leave' after she tweeted about purposefully missing a man's vein while drawing his blood - an act apparently meant to punish the patient, who mocked her for wearing a pronoun badge that said 'She/Her.'

'Wake Forest School of Medicine has completed a thorough review of the patient encounter with our medical student who recently made an inaccurate statement on social media,' the school wrote in a statement...
