Will pro-abortion protesters who disrupt the Senate be charged with felony obstruction? On Wednesday, Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, announced criminal charges against another American related to the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Joshua Colgan of Maine entered a set of open doors that afternoon and walked around the building; he exited shortly thereafter. Capitol Police officers standing near the entrance did not attempt to block or arrest Colgan or hundreds of other protesters at the time who were unaware they were committing any crime. Nonetheless, Graves charged Colgan with four...

Norway’s recent donation of Mistral man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, including at least 100 missiles and an unspecified number of launchers, have made it to Ukraine. Now, thanks to an additional donation of an undisclosed amount of Fiat Fullback 4x4 pickup trucks from the Ukraine-based Come Back Alive foundation, some of those Mistral systems are now road-mobile. The Come Back Alive foundation is a crowdfunded Ukrainian non-governmental organization founded by Vitaliy Deyneg in 2014 after Russia seized Crimea. The foundation then began supporting Ukrainian forces by fundraising money to deliver supplies and technologies ranging from bulletproof vests to thermal...

Some of these fact-mangling gaffes might be called "senior moments." At a Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama on May 3, Biden suggested we were sending missiles to Russia. "Before Russia attacked, we made sure Russia had Javelins and other weapons to strengthen their defenses so Ukraine was ready for whatever happened," Biden said midway through his speech. Minutes later, Biden said, "Just a few days ago, the Wall Street Journal quoted a young Hungarian fighter saying, 'Without the Javelins, it would have been very hard to stop the enemy pushing ahead.'" It was a Ukrainian fighter. Then there are times...

The crew of RTS Moskva (121) was blind to and not ready for the Ukrainian missile attack that sank Russia’s Black Sea flagship, according to a new analysis of the April 13 strike reviewed by USNI News. The review of images following the strike of the two Neptune anti-ship missiles from open-source naval analyst and retired Navy Capt. Chris Carlson told USNI News that the guided-missile cruiser did not have its radars activated and could not see the threat from the two weapons. In the photo of Moskva after the strike, the radars “are in their normal stowed position,” Carlson...

Violent Antifa activists are active again in Portland and Seattle, inspired by a leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision this week reversing Roe v. Wade. Neither city is ready for a repeat of Black Lives Matter-inspired left-wing riots and vandalism. But Antifa is now more dangerous than ever. Antifa operates most effectively during left-wing movements where they rely on partisan media outlets and like-minded politicians to either justify or ignore their violence. It’s one reason why they pose an enormous threat as pro-abortion activists take to the streets to protest a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Leftists have been looking for a spark to set off more city-destroying "protests." It seems they've found one. In 2020, we watched as rioters destroyed buildings and lives throughout our cities in the wake of George Floyd's death. Get ready for another summer of riots and destruction. The White House has legitimized such behavior by calling MAGA Republicans the most extreme in our history. The leaked working opinion authored by Justice Alito concerning overturning Roe v. Wade has provided the necessary unifying principle for the radical left. Sen. Warren (D-Mass.) helped light the fuse outside the Supreme Court Building by...

This woman - er, wymxn? - was pulled over for driving alone in the carpool lane. But she's got a surefire way to get out of the ticket: her preferred pronoun is they!

The Academy for Science and Freedom (https://dc.hillsdale.edu/Academy-for-...) was recently established by Hillsdale College and its three founding fellows, Drs. Scott Atlas, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff. Its mission is to educate the American people about the free exchange of scientific ideas and the proper relationship between freedom and science in the pursuit of truth. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed grave problems in the essential functioning of science, research, and debate. Scientists whose research and data interpretation differ from the desired narrative have been silenced, censored, and slandered. This dangerous trend threatens the free exchange of ideas essential to the public...

Blurry fotos at source. Dumskaya - Odessa news says it`s one of the three Admiral Grigorovich class frigates but they don`t know which one.

The Admiral Makarov is one of only three ships of its class in Russia's Black Sea fleet and its sinking would be a blow to Vladimir Putin coming shortly after Moscow lost its flagship The Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate was on fire this morning in what would be a fresh blow for warmonger Vladimir Putin, a number of unconfirmed reports suggest. It was said to be close to Snake Island in the Black Sea, where a rescue operation was underway involving multiple aircrafts and rescue boats. Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko took to his Telegram channel to report the ship had...

n March 2021, longtime Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) shocked the nation by announcing his retirement from the U.S. Senate. Naturally, this prompted a frenzy in Missouri. Today, there’s a crowded GOP field to keep the safe Republican seat. Of the many contenders, current Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is currently surging. With endorsements from Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and syndicated radio host Dana Loesch, Schmitt is seeing Missourians flock to his campaign ahead of the August 2nd primary. I recently spoke to the 46th Missouri Attorney General for a wide-ranging conversation about his campaign and top priorities. How Schmitt Hopes...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemRevelation 19Threefold Hallelujah Over Babylon’s Fall 19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, 2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” 3 And again they shouted: “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.” 4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who...

John is joined by Konstantin Kisin, himself Russian by descent, for a conversation about the Russian mindset, popular support for President Putin, the Western response to and coverage of the conflict in Ukraine, Western resilience, the role of satire in public discourse, and much more.

... But as the abortion rights landscape in America has grown more dire in recent months — with numerous states moving to ban most abortions, and Roe v. Wade likely to be overturned by the Supreme Court this summer — I wanted to do more. So I traveled to abortion clinics in Oklahoma and Kansas earlier this year to learn to perform second-trimester procedures. My family and I will soon be moving to a part of the country where there are many fewer abortion providers than in California, but where abortion is expected to remain legal in a post-Roe America....

A serious conflict would provide the Left an opportunity to seize complete domestic control, to cement its power — perhaps permanently. It has been odd and alarming watching the powers-that-be relentlessly escalate the proxy war our government is waging against Russia. It’s not just that we’re sending billions of dollars of weapons into Ukraine, are calling Vladimir Putin a war criminal and issuing other fightin’ words, are training Ukrainian troops and are trying to effect Moscow’s economic destruction. It’s also that, senior American officials have now revealed, via intelligence aid the U.S. has helped to: kill Moscow’s generals, down a...

A leftist group posted home addresses of six right-leaning Supreme Court justices but hasn’t been restricted by any major social media sites. The doxxing attack appears to violate several site policies such as harassment and sharing content that reveals others’ private information. The group, called Ruth Sent Us, posted the addresses on its website, and posted the link in the bylines on each of its social media accounts. It urged followers to protest at the justices’ homes and posted that next to the marked addresses of Chief Justice John Roberts along with those of Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett...

Southern Arizona has a unique history and culture – one based on absolute lawlessness. As the last state to enter the Union, Arizona was truly the last frontier of the Wild West. It is the land of Tombstone, the site of the infamous shootout between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday and a band of outlaws; and it is now the land of the Cartels – the criminal enterprises tyrannizing the people of Mexico. Now, political structures whose conduct and integrity is supposed to be beyond reproach, have been permeated by this spirit of criminality. At its inception in 1854, the...

For decades, the American left has furthered its agenda via leftists on U.S. courts. Thus, in order to get their way on a wide array of issues — abortion, marriage, LGBT issues, immigration, and the like — Democrats have not had to win elections. They merely needed control of the courts. With right-minded originalists replacing authoritarian leftists on courts throughout America, the left's hold on state and federal courts (much credit to President Trump!) has waned. This is especially true with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Given their obsession with sex, among leftists no issues are held...
