Propagandists may repeat the mantra “Zelensky is a Jew, so he cannot be a Nazi” as often as they want, but the truth is that radicals control the political process in Ukraine through violence against those who dare confront their nationalistic and supremacist agendas. The case of Anatoliy Shariy — one of the most popular bloggers in Ukraine living in exile—is a good example to illustrate this point. Not only does he, along with his family members, permanently receive death threats, radicals constantly intimidate the activists of his party (banned by Zelensky in March 2022), beating and humiliating them. This...

BIDEN "This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history."

With children under 5 now the only group not yet eligible for vaccination against COVID-19, many parents have been vocal about their frustration pertaining to the delayed authorization process and rollout. However, a new KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor survey has found that less than a fifth of parents with children under the age 5 -- 18% -- reported that they are eager to get their child vaccinated right away. More than a third of parents -- 38% -- said that they plan to wait in order to see how the vaccine works for others, while 27% of parents reported that...

Leftists said sex could be modified and men could have babies. Now, they’re screaming about a ‘woman’s right to choose.’Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was nominated to the United States Supreme Court in large part because of her sex, said she couldn’t define what a woman is during her confirmation hearings. “I’m not a biologist,” Jackson said in her exchange with Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn. While conservatives criticized Jackson for failing to answer a simple question about human biology, one that was necessary to evaluate whether she would faithfully interpret the Constitution and adjudicate Americans’ rights, Democrats rushed to defend...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough doubled down on suggesting the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning the Roe v. Wade ruling was from someone on the right. Scarborough argued that the “right-wing noise machine always churns into overdrive” when the U.S. Supreme Court comes into play about topics like abortion, which is why he said so many Republicans had accused someone on the left of being the leaker.

Austin, TX, Release: May 3, 2022 — For Immediate ReleaseThe Republican Party of Texas (RPT) released the following statement regarding the leaked draft decision of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case that would overturn Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, thereby making the legality of abortion a state issue.A leak of this nature has never happened before in the history of the Supreme Court and should be taken very seriously. Whether the intent was to influence the outcome of the case or prompt a legislative response, this leak is damaging to the independence of the judiciary,...

As Congress comes back into session with a packed agenda, Senate Republicans are pursuing legislation that could undo former President Trump’s trade policies toward China. Last year, the House and the Senate passed two different bills related to America’s China trade policy: the House passed the America COMPETES bill, and the Senate passed the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (USICA). The trade provisions in the COMPETES bill have been widely praised by institutions that share Trump’s economic approach to China. Despite being Democrat-sponsored legislation, COMPETES has earned praise from such institutions because, for one, it would close theso called de...

This week, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona dashed the hopes of their more radical colleagues amid renewed calls to pass a federal law that would overrule state limits or prohibitions on abortion. Calls for slim Democrat majorities in the House and Senate to quickly advance a bill, the inaccurate and grossly named "Women's Health Protection Act," that would codify Roe v. Wade's concocted right to abortion were swift. Almost a little too swift, perhaps, in the wake of an unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court that showed a draft opinion by Justice Samuel...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used location data from tens of millions of Americans’ phones to track compliance with lockdown orders and vaccination efforts, according to newly revealed documents. The CDC specifically monitored Americans’ visits to churches and schools, as well as “detailed counts of visits to participating pharmacies for vaccine monitoring,” internal documents from the federal agency obtained by Vice show. The CDC also reportedly tracked peoples’ movement during curfews and visits between neighbors. A controversial “data broker” called SafeGraph initially provided the data to the CDC for free during the outbreak of the pandemic, the documents...

Christopher Persaud is a man on a mission. Persaud knew he had to take a stand if these issues came to his school after seeing other states try to silence parents who confronted school boards about alarming changes to their child’s curriculum, mask mandates, and critical race theory (CRT). He had no idea that one day he would be arrested and dragged out of his school for standing up for what he believed was right.

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows ignored a damning new report alleging the U.S. government tracked millions of Americans to ensure compliance with the draconian COVID-19 lockdown orders. Left-wing outlet Vice Motherboard released a jaw-dropping report May 3 headlined: “CDC Tracked Millions of Phones to See If Americans Followed COVID Lockdown Orders.” The subhead said documents obtained by Vice showed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “planned to use phone location data to monitor schools and churches.” The article said the documents "date from 2021." In addition, the CDC reportedly “wanted to use the data for...

Breitbart is reporting a clean sweep for all 22 Trump-backed candidates in Tuesday's Ohio and Indiana primaries. In the industrial Midwest, at least, Trump's backing is enough to sway GOP primary voters to his choices.By far the highest-profile race Tuesday was the Ohio GOP Senate primary, where a crowded field sought the nod to replace retiring senator Rob Portman as the Republican nominee. In that race, J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy, had been in the middle of the field until he obtained Trump's endorsement, and with his backing, Vance came out on top.Here are the results at this hour...

Symone Sanders, a former senior adviser to Vice President Harris, insists she won’t be simply defending her former boss and President Biden on her new MSNBC show. “I’m not here to be a spokesperson for the Biden administration,” Sanders tells ITK. “I had that job already,” she adds. Now, the 32-year-old Nebraska native, who stepped down from her Harris role last year, is ready to “tell it like it is” on “Symone,” her weekend MSNBC program premiering on Saturday. “I’m going to be honest, and sometimes the honesty means that what I have to say is not what the administration...

Imagine, if you will, a couple scenarios. One. You go into a casino and place a large wager on a game of poker. You lose. Because you lost and you’re angry, you then you set fire to the casino and burn it down. Two. You go to Home Depot looking for a tool. You find it’s not in stock. You burn the place down. Three It’s election day. You vote for the candidate of your choice. Your candidate loses. You burn the polling location down. What we’re describing here is today’s democrat party. The use of the word” democrat” in...

The majority of voters believe Roe v. Wade is likely to be overturned, a Wednesday Politico/Morning Consult poll revealed.The poll comes after a leak from the Court revealed Roe v. Wade may be overturned. The poll sampled 1955 voters on May 3 with a 2-point margin of error. “How likely do you think it is that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade?” when the poll asked. Twenty-six percent said it is very likely the Court overturns the ruling. Thirty-one percent said it is somewhat likely the ruling is overturned. Only 18 percent said it’s not too likely, and...

The brouhaha over news that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade, has brought out some bonkers overreactions from Democrats, who are coming up with creative new ways of beclowning themselves. To reiterate the backstory: Some ass with no loyalty to the Court as an institution took it upon himself to leak a draft of internal Supreme Court proceedings which indicate that the Court, on a 5-4 vote, is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, a 1973 decision so poorly laid out that even the late liberal justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had reservations about its legal grounding. This shouldn't...

Natalie Winters: Texas Lab Agreed to Destroy Records If Asked by Wuhan Institute of Virology American Thought Leaders AMERICAN THOUGHT LEADERS JAN JEKIELEK “I had never seen a clause like this, and it basically stipulated that the Wuhan Institute of Virology could demand that the Galveston National Laboratory—again, a taxpayer-funded U.S.-based lab—would have to delete files, pathogens, materials.” National Pulse investigative reporter Natalie Winters recently broke the story of the Galveston National Laboratory’s memorandum of understanding with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Special Counsel John Durham on May 2 alerted the judge presiding over the case against a former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer of fines the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid after a federal body found probable cause that they violated election laws. Durham filed the Federal Election Commission (FEC) opinion and conciliation agreements that the campaign and the DNC entered into with the FEC along with paying the fines for what the FEC described as probable violations of laws governing the reporting of political entity disbursements. At issue is the Democrat entities’ ties to Fusion GPS, a...
