Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan, Perkins Coie, the legal arm of the DNC and Hillary Clinton, admitted they have been operating an FBI workspace in their Washington D.C. office since 2012.

Hundreds of Russian soldiers have escaped the fighting in Ukraine or refused to take part during the early stages of the war, according to military decrees viewed by The Wall Street Journal as well as accused soldiers and lawyers defending them. Military analysts and Ukrainian officials say there have been many more. Russia’s army stumbled badly early in its invasion of Ukraine and suffered thousands of casualties and the loss of an estimated quarter of its deployed military hardware, a senior Pentagon official said in April. Desertions and insubordination among soldiers, Interior Ministry troops and members of the National Guard...

The World Health Organization says that people should not change their plans to attend Pride celebrations over monkeypox outbreaks. The leading theory for the reason for rapid spread of the virus is sex between men at two raves in Europe. “It’s important that people who want to go out and celebrate gay pride, LGBTQ+ pride, to continue to go and plan to do so,” Andy Seale, a strategies adviser in the WHO Department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections Programmes, said during a press briefing on Monday, according to The Hill. “There is no specific transmission route that...

If you listen to economists and those watching the wave of inflation that is sweeping over us you will hear many of these people predicting it will soon abate. A huge part of their argument being the best cure for high prices is high prices. This is because high prices bring about demand destruction. Taking this to the next level some are looking towards an economic slowdown, a recession, or worse. Still, with so much money stashed away and so few real tangible assets there is no guarantee inflation will slow or that we will see deflation. For years, central...

The fuel tax reduction has been in effect since midnight — and it has led to significantly lower prices at many petrol stations across Germany. Press agency DPA evaluated the prices at 400 petrol stations in Munich, Berlin and Hamburg between 6 am and 7 am on Wednesday, with the help of data from Germany’s biggest car club, the ADAC. Although not all petrol stations lowered their prices significantly, the vast majority showed a clear difference just a few hours after the tax cut, DPA said. […] … DPA’s flash analysis of prices found that a liter of Super E10...

A week ago, Dr. Robert Malone wrote an article stating “what we do know” about monkeypox. Today he has published an update. “I almost cannot believe that I am writing this, but since my original Substack article on this topic, we had the reveal of an Event 201-style wargame exercise modelled around a bioterror-related release of an engineered monkeypox virus ‘caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight’,” he wrote today. If Ronald Reagan were still with us, I suspect we would be hearing “There you go...

In the big fight news in the world at the moment amid war and new wars — this from an unelected German individual has really angered the world at the moment: Klaus SchwabWith respect, no one asked for a great reset. Nor is anyone interested in it. You only need to check the YouTube, Google, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tick Tock, Snapchat and all big platforms comments to see no citizens of the world are in support of the above.

In its effort to contain inflation, the Federal Reserve has launched what many expect to be an ongoing series of interest rate increases, which are already taking a toll on stock and housing markets, with job losses likely to follow. As weary as Americans have become from paying record high gas and grocery prices, however, another round of price hikes is making its way through the food supply chain and is expected to reach consumers this fall. “People don’t realize what’s fixing to hit them,” said Texas farmer Lynn “Bugsy” Allen. “They think it’s tough right now, you give it...

During a summit in Fiji on Monday, Chinese negotiators failed to convince 10 Pacific island nations to join them on a mutual security and trade agreement that would’ve allowed China to establish a presence of security officers in their nations. The Beijing-proposed security and trade pact would bring Pacific islands nations like the Federated States of Micronesia, the Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Niue and Timor-Leste into closer alignment with the Chinese government. The pact would include law enforcement and fishing cooperation, providing China with Pacific hosts for security forces and ships that they could...

Juliet’s Global Vision Bible Church, close to Nashville, told his congregants he considered Democrats to be “baby butchers.” In a sermon earlier this month, Locke said: “You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation. I don’t care how mad that makes you. You can get as pissed off as you want to. You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation. They are God-denying demons that...

I'm leaving State Farm for obvious reasons. I would appreciate non-woke recommendations for the big three: life, home, and auto insurance. Thanks in advance.

The fentanyl experience is devastating—and it’s hollowing out families and communities all across our country. News accounts shows drug deaths have spiked everywhere. The year I lost my sister, 2016, more than 65,000 people overdosed and died. That’s skyrocketed to more than 100,000 people during the 12-month period ending April 2021. That’s nearly 300 people each day. It takes only 2 milligrams to be lethal. That’s not even enough to cover the year on the front of the penny in your pocket.
