Russia's military test-fired a new intercontinental ballistic missile during the Ukraine war, adding to its already considerable arsenal, in a demonstration Russian leader Vladimir Putin used to take a shot at the US and the Western coalition opposing his invasion of Ukraine. The first launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile "Sarmat" was carried out Wednesday by Russian military forces, Russian state agency TASS reported. It was tested at the Plesetsk cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region, TASS reported. Putin congratulated the military on the successful test. "This is a great, significant event in the development of promising weapons systems for the...

The United States will send another $800 million security package to Ukraine as its military fights off a renewed Russian assault, President Joe Biden said Thursday.

With the Twitter board having created a poison pill strategy to block Elon Musk from buying the entire company, it appeared that Musk might end up being stymied. However, Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis may be riding to the effort with a shareholder’s suit accusing the board of directors of breaching its fiduciary duty. However, even if the board is forced to bow down, it’s possible that America’s national security apparatus may step in to block the sale. To catch you up on things, Twitter has become Ground Zero for the left’s control of the flow of information. Democrats in politics...

Under President Biden’s Reign of Error, inflation is the highest in 40 years. But Powell and The Fed are still overstimulating the economy, and Congress is contributing to the inflation disaster with short-sighted political policies and spending (flooding the economy with stimulus spending helping to drive up prices). Even Democrat US Senator Elizabeth Warren gets it. Here is Biden’s inflation scorecard in one chart. Under Inflation Joe, foodstuffs are up 58%, gasoline is up 72%, diesel fuel is up 154%, and green energy element Lithium is up 645% (no wonder electric car manufacturer Telsa is raising their prices 10%). Of...

(CNN) Joe Biden would probably like to forget the last few days. They've been filled with confusing messages on critical topics, projecting an image of a directionless White House led by a President whose tendency to veer off message is only adding to his problems. Consider: * A federal judge in Florida struck down the administration's federal travel mask mandate on Monday. In response to that ruling, the Biden administration first didn't make clear what its next steps would be. Then late in the day on Tuesday, the administration said it would appeal the ruling -- if the US Centers...

There is a need to end this conflict. Europe has a bloody history. The only 'peaceful' period was the Cold War(1945-1989) for which Europe can thank the US. Now it's back to it's old historical ways. A neutral arbitrator is necessary as the UN has proven once again it's ineffectiveness. The stakes are high.

President Joe Biden will attend the White House Correspondents’ dinner, according to organizers, after former President Donald Trump ended the traditional appearance. “Every president since Calvin Coolidge has attended the WHCA’s annual dinner … with just one exception,” WHCA president Steven Portnoy wrote on social media. “The tradition continues next Saturday night.”

Video at https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1516159512910118915“Listen, racism is a horrific evil in this country. It is also an insult that the Left tosses around casually.” Senator Ted Cruz took his podcast into what he labelled “the belly of the leftist beast” this week by visiting Yale, where he schooled a particularly woke student who openly accused him of being racist over his questioning of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Footage shows the student, named Maia Cook, attempting to couch her accusations in faux politeness, telling Cruz “thank you so much for coming to Yale this evening,” adding “it would appear to me...

On Tuesday, Reuters reporters saw several hundred men registering with Ethiopian security guards outside the embassy. The guards recorded their names and asked for proof of military service...But many in Ethiopia have voiced solidarity with Russia, which has enjoyed close relations with the Horn of Africa nation since the Soviet era...A man who came out of the embassy and addressed the volunteers in Russian through an interpreter said Russia had enough forces for now, but that they would be contacted when they were needed.

Some common mushrooms likely have more than 17,000 sexes, researchers report March 31 in PLOS Genetics. The work could help us better understand the evolution of sexual reproduction as well as showcases the increasing power of genome sequencing. While scientists have long suspected that certain species of fungi have thousands or even tens of thousands of biological sexes, the new research employed cutting edge genetic tools to confirm the extreme diversity of sexes in Trichaptum mushrooms. “The pace of advances in DNA sequencing are just mind boggling,” says Joseph Heitman, a geneticist and infectious disease expert at Duke University who...

Granting rivers legal personhood represents a seismic shift from the bedrock belief in Western society that humans are at the apex of the natural world. But for many Indigenous people, the concept of nature as a sentient equal to humans is nothing new. In Maori culture, for example, ancestors, or tupuna, are embodied in the landscape. “I see the river and the trees as ancestors,” says Uapukun Mestokosho, a member of the Mutehekau Shipu Alliance, the committee that advocated for the river’s legal rights. “They’ve been here long before we have and deserve the right to live.” While the personhood...

“The Federalist Papers” are a collection of 85 linked essays that explain the construction of the U.S. government and why it was built that way. The Papers are regarded as the best pipeline into understanding the U.S. Constitution and the founding principles of the government it would establish. I have endeavored here to present these essays, not as articles in a newspaper, but as you might have experienced them if you had sat in a comfortable tavern with a tankard in hand, and listened while these ardent men ranged in front of a friendly fireplace as they attempted to convince...

Journey with Helen into the wisdom and teachings of three master teacher trees, bringing the initiation and medicine needed for 2022 and beyond. Trees are often overlooked and disregarded in our search for healing, but their power and support is extraordinary. As well as bearing fruit, birds nests and treehouses, they are wisdom carriers and can provide healing as profound as any other medicinal plants that are more widely recognised. Whilst travel has been restricted, and the galactic energy is mounting, the earth is offering us a chance to come home to the medicine we are surrounded by. Connecting to...

I produced this video in the late 90's with Chinese dissident Harry Wu. It pretty much proves and documents the horrific practice of the killing of prisoners and the harvesting and sale of their body parts by China. Pretty sure it's going to be censored...

Bloomberg News says the Obama production company Higher Ground is negotiating with Audible, iHeartMediaSpotify is reportedly showing the Obamas the door. Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday that Higher Ground, the production company run by former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, is seeking a multimillion deal elsewhere as their deal with Spotify expires this year, according to sources. Among the potential partners Higher Ground is negotiating with are Amazon's Audible and iHeartMedia. Sources tell Bloomberg News the Obamas is hoping to find its new home within the coming weeks. However, Bloomberg News indicated that the move was...

The Florida Senate passed on Wednesday legislation to end Disney’s special tax and governing jurisdiction. The Senate passed S. 4-C, which is the legislation that would dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District, otherwise known as the special tax and governing jurisdiction for the Walt Disney World Resort. The legislation passed with 23 votes in favor of the bill, and 16 against the bill. The Florida legislature authorized the special district in 1967 to boost economic development and tourism; however, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Florida Republicans proposed the legislation to eliminate the special district after Disney has continued to oppose...

2 + 2 = 4 should be an answer that everyone, regardless of politics or race, can agree on, but in a world in which equity insists that 2 + 2 = 5, the War on Math is underway in our schools. Florida’s Gov DeSantis struck a blow for math by setting clear educational standards for textbooks and rejecting those educational materials that failed to meet those standards. And the media, with predictable malice, decided to have another fake news field day. "DeSantis Saves Florida Kids From Being Indoctrinated With Math," the Washington Post sneered. "I'm Going to Florida So...

The alien invasion across America’s porous southern border has turned every state into a border state – and every Fake News editor into an agent and a cheerleader for a foreign occupation army. Here in Maine, 2400 miles northeast of the Texas border, we are the final destination for thousands of illegal immigrants who are being resettled here at taxpayer expense, to the applause of all the really smart people in both political parties. When I attempted a few weeks ago to push back against a fellow Republican’s praise for the invasion and the invaders, I was confronted once...
