    The current war in Ukraine is not a battle between the good and bad guys; it has everything to do with the setting up of a one-world government. Both sides favor a New World Order, but are they fighting for same vision of it?Both Putin and Zelenskyy graduated from Klaus Schwab’s school for Young Global leaders. Schwab, founder and head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), promotes what he calls the Great Reset, which is a Marxist reordering of the world’s economy under one government.So how do we explain what’s happening in Ukraine? I believe the answer lies in what...

    The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, however, ruled that a hunting license requirement for purchases of rifles or shotguns by adults under 21 who are not in the military or law enforcement was reasonable A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday ruled that California's ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under 21 is unconstitutional, a move gun-rights advocates hope will pave the way for similar rulings in other courts. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the law violates the Second Amendment and that a San Diego judge should have blocked what is called...

  • Ukraine’s Counteroffensive Has Broken Russia’s Siege Of Kharkiv

    Ukraine’s counteroffensive may have broken Russia’s siege of the strategic city of Kharkiv, in northeast Ukraine. If true – and if Ukrainian troops can maintain their momentum – then this could outflank and threaten the main Russian offensive in the south. While premature to claim that this is a turning point in the war, it would force the Russian high command to divert forces northwards, and to juggle fighting on multiple fronts. “The Ukrainian counteroffensive north of Kharkiv City has forced Russian troops onto the defensive and has successfully alleviated artillery pressure on Kharkiv City,” according to the Institute for...

    Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was offensive in his words and tone when he compared protesters outside the homes of several Supreme Court justices to the rioters at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. During a Fox News interview, Cruz said, “What we’re seeing these images are the latest manifestation of just how extreme, how radical the Democratic Party is getting. Today’s Democrat Party believes in violence. They believe in mob rule, they believe in intimidation…These thugs have no business at the private homes of any government officials. These...

    TRENTON, S.C. - A 60-year-old man who strangled his girlfriend died of a heart attack while burying her body in their South Carolina backyard, investigators said. Deputies found Joseph Anthony McKinnon's body Saturday after neighbors called and reported an unconscious man in a yard in Trenton, the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. As they investigated McKinnon’s death, deputies found a body wrapped in trash bags in a freshly dug hole and determined it was his girlfriend, Patricia Ruth Dent, 65, investigators said. An autopsy on Dent determined she had been strangled and neighbors told officers they saw...

    Don't think this wasn't planned from the beginning of last year. It is the perfect crime, almost. Ever since rumors of Breyer's retirement announcement, leftists have been licking their chops to cheat on the highest court of the land. And Breyer is in on it. Consider that the Dems began the confirmation process in haste while Breyer was still seated. Jackson was ultimately confirmed by the slimmest of margins, and Biden then SIGNED HER SUPREME COURT COMMISSION. It is not beyong possibility that she may be allowed to participate in voting in this case. A 5-5 tie would result in...

    The Phoenix Suns announced that they will honor Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner with a No. 42 decal on their home floor at Footprint Center for the remainder of the NBA playoffs. Griner is still detained in Russia after being taken into custody in February. Customs officials alleged they found vape cartridges that contained cannabis oil in her possession as she went through security at a Moscow-area airport. In March, a Russian state-owned news agency TASS reported that Griner was expected to remain in custody until at least May 19. ESPN's T.J. Quinn also reported that month that Griner faces...

    The U.S. government has reportedly opened an investigation into Elon Musk’s business dealings surrounding his recent $44 billion purchase of Twitter. “The Securities and Exchange Commission is probing Mr. Musk’s tardy submission of a public form that investors must file when they buy more than 5% of a company’s shares,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The disclosure functions as an early sign to shareholders and companies that a significant investor could seek to control or influence a company.” The report said that Musk’s April 4 disclosure filing was at least 10 days late, a move that is believed to have...

    A volunteer counsellor claims she has been sacked from the Australian Breastfeeding Association for 'hate speech' after she repeatedly using the word 'mother' instead of the transgender inclusive term 'parent'. Jasmine Sussex said she lost her role because she 'excessively' used the word mother in social media posts, after the association partnered with Rainbow Families NSW to promote the use of gender neutral language. The move has divided members of the nation's peak breastfeeding group, which has previously introduced course material for counsellors encouraging them to advise transgender women, who were born men, that they can induce lactation. However, despite...

    The head of major supermarket Tesco has warned that people in the UK are facing “real food poverty for the first time in a generation”. The warning of “real food poverty” comes as many in the country struggle with the increasing costs of food and fuel due to inflation, with a former chief economist for the Bank of England warning that such inflationary conditions inflicting pain on everyday people could continue for years. According to a report by The Times, the head of the supermarket giant Tesco, John Allan, has said that many of those who visit his stores are...

    @RepGosar Calling us names is not a logical position. I have no principle to follow but the path of peace and non-intervention. My grown children have known nothing except American war and intervention for naught. RE: @marklevinshow 1. For the Putin ass-kissers out there who say why don’t we focus on the baby formula crisis rather than Ukraine, the baby formula problem pre-dates the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And it’s not about federal funding but government incompetence. Damn fools.

    Medical Xpress / University of Cincinnati / Nutrients ^ | May 11, 2022 | Robert Krikorian et al
    Researchers led by UC's Robert Krikorian, Ph.D., found that adding blueberries to the daily diets of certain middle-aged populations may lower the chances of developing late-life dementia. Krikorian explained that about 50% of individuals in the U.S. develop insulin resistance, commonly referred to as prediabetes, around middle age. Prediabetes has been shown to be a factor in chronic diseases, he said. "We had observed cognitive benefits with blueberries in prior studies with older adults and thought they might be effective in younger individuals with insulin resistance," said Krikorian. "Alzheimer's disease, like all chronic diseases of aging, develops over a period...

    The leaked draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which has sent shock waves across the United States, indicates that a majority of Supreme Court justices will likely overturn the constitutional right to an abortion granted in Roe v. Wade. Employing unusually harsh language, Alito declared that “Roe and Planned Parenthood v.Casey must be overruled” because of the decisions’ “abuse of judicial authority.” “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito wrote, and its “reasoning was exceptionally weak.” He also asserted that neither abortion nor privacy is mentioned in the text of the Constitution,...

    It’s been pretty obvious over the last few days that President Joe Biden and his administration are trying to make “ultra-MAGA” a thing. Biden’s arch-nemesis isn’t the Republicans, but the ultra-MAGA Republicans and their ultra-MAGA agenda. (Team Trump didn’t waste any time in adding “Ultra MAGA” T-shirts to its online shop.) In any case, so much for the unity president. Speaking at a convention Wednesday, Biden referred to former President Donald Trump not as ultra-MAGA but rather “the great MAGA king.” Biden refers to Trump as "the great MAGA king." pic.twitter.com/tkONV6dbxf — Greg Price (@greg_price11) May 11, 2022 This is...

    America was supposedly founded on the principle that power must be accountable if it is not to be tyrannical. Yet, the recent debate over abortion rights has illustrated once again that too many Americans in positions of power would prefer a populace that acquiesced silently to even monstrous abuses. Over the weekend, protesters organized a vigil outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house in Chevy Chase, Maryland, to protest the threatened repeal of Roe v. Wade.
