With all eyes on Ukraine, few are noticing how Joe Biden is ruining relations with a critical nation next door to us, which is Mexico. Title 42, which permits the U.S. to reject phony asylum-seekers on COVID concerns, was halted by a federal judge yesterday, but it's a temporary halt, so it may return soon. Whether the Biden administration obeys that order is anyone's guess. There are other judicial orders it's simply ignored as it carried on its open borders policy. It doesn't matter to Joe Biden that his fellow Democrats — at least eight of them — are warning...

The Biden administration is closing off almost half of the 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) from oil and gas drilling, overturning a Trump-era policy that would have allowed oil development on more than 80 percent of the reserve. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), part of the Department of the Interior, announced the decision on April 25. It marks a return to an Obama administration plan to manage the area that would enable the administration to lease up to 52 percent of the reserve for oil and gas exploration. Meanwhile, the remaining approximately 11 million acres (48 percent)—which...

Vice President Kamala Harris quickly learned not to come between President Biden and his negotiations with Congress, when the president once snapped at her so harshly even Republican senators in the meeting were shocked. In a meeting last May, Biden tried to persuade Republican lawmakers to support $1 trillion in infrastructure spending. And while Biden was ready for a compromise, Harris thought the bill was skimpy. 'Harris thought that there was something missing from the conversation,' New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns wrote in their book, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s...

Anton Gerashchenko, advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs, released information about the complete failure of Russia's recruitment of mercenaries for the war in Ukraine. Gerashchenko noted: "Inside. Potential mercenaries refuse to fight for Putin's interests in Ukraine. Knowing the extreme unpopularity of the "special operation", Putin decided not to do mass mobilization yet, but to start recruiting mercenaries. And not in Russia, but in Abkhazia, Transnistria, South Ossetia. That is, where there is no pity for the "meat". According to intelligence information, Transnistria was given a plan - 15,000 mercenaries at a price of 100,000 rubles per month, or...

Russian provocations in Transnistria are a direct threat to Ukraine. Moldova and European democracies must address this issue immediately. "Russia has staged a series of explosions in occupied Transnistria. Russia is apparently creating a pretext for invading Transnistria, according to a plan to seize Ukraine's Black Sea coast, announced on April 22 by Rustam Minnekayev, deputy chief of the Central Military District."

An array of left-wing personalities took to Twitter in the wake of a potential sale of social media giant Twitter to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, deeming it a victory for “white power” and “white nationalism” that will “silence” progressive voices and amplify “racists” and others on the right, including former President Donald Trump. “Elon musk buying Twitter is a dream come true for white nationalists,” wrote left-wing comedian Dean Obeidallah. “After all musk is from the former apartheid country of South Africa which the white supremacists idolize.” “Now that Elon Musk is buying Twitter, the question for all of us...

Transhumanism, boiled down to its bones, is pure eugenics. It calls itself “H+,” for more or better than human. Which, of course, is what eugenics is all about.Alarmingly, transhumanist values are being embraced at the highest strata of society, including in Big Tech, in universities, and among the Davos crowd of globalist would-be technocrats. That being so, it is worth listening in to what they are saying under the theory that forewarned is forearmed.Israeli philosophy professor Yuval Harari is one of the movement’s chief. He believes that AI/human hybrids are inevitably going to take over — and that those of...
