  • Russia Defaults On Foreign Debt For The First Time In 104 Years

    Russia has defaulted on its foreign debt obligations for the first time since the Bolshevik revolution in 1918. Sanctions launched by an alliance of western nations in response to president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine have hobbled the Kremlin’s access to its assets, meaning it has been unable to pay foreign investors. Moscow missed a grace period deadline today on a $100m interest payment that was originally due on 27 May, tipping the country into default for the first time in over a century... America’s Treasury department blocked Russia from making payments last May (out of sanctions frozen funds), effectively...

    "When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee." "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

  • More Than 1 Million Swing Voters Have Turned Against the Democrat Party

    Democrats still have control over the media, which is why you may not know that they’re losing popularity at an alarming rate.In the last year, more than 1 million voters across 43 states have made the switch back to the republican party.The vast majority of these voters include former Donald Trump voters who turned against him in 2020.What does this all mean?Basically, it means that the people who turned away from President Trump have realized what a mistake they made!Of course, this is only good news if our elections are fair.There is still widespread evidence of voter fraud.Still, this cuts...
  • The Astonishing Implications of Schedule F

    The Astonishing Implications of Schedule F Two weeks before the 2020 general election, on October 21, 2020, Donald Trump issued an executive order (E.O. 13957) on “Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service.” It sounds boring. Actually, it would have fundamentally changed, in the best possible way, the entire functioning of the administrative bureaucracy that rules this country in a way that bypasses both the legislative and judicial process, and has ruined the checks and balances inherent in the US Constitution. The administrative state for the better part of a century, and really dating back to the Pendleton Act of...

  • PolitiFact Leaps to Claim Biden Is 'Mostly True' That America Is Now an Abortion 'Outlier'

    PolitiFact’s routine tendency to defend President Biden’s accuracy in his public proclamations continued within hours of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision on Friday. Biden claimed America was now an “outlier among developed nations” in the world. Madison Czopek and Tom Kertscher claimed this was “Mostly True.” This was their quickie summary: -- The reversal of Roe v. Wade eliminated the national right to abortion access in the U.S., leaving it to states to regulate. -- That makes the U.S. an outlier among other developed nations, which have laws or court rulings that provide for national access to abortion. This was...

    In the days and weeks after George Floyd’s fentanyl overdose, America’s universities proudly proclaimed an imminent “racial reckoning” on campus. “Diversity,” understood in a very specific way, became the top objective. Harvard’s university press published books on how to eliminate schools that were “too white.” Activists demanded the abolition of “white supremacist” standardized tests, and dozens of schools swiftly complied. Two years have passed. Last fall, American colleges welcomed their first 100% post-George Floyd classes, and the results are clear: At one elite school after another, ordinary white Americans are being treated as academia’s “undesirables” and are slowly being cleansed...

    At 10:11 a.m. SCOTUSBlog released the decision to overturn Roe v Wade and eliminate the constitutional right to abortion. When the decision was read in front of the Court building in Washington D.C., pro-life counter-protestors cheered with delight. The abortion activists however, broke out every swear in the book, sobbed, and threw rage filled temper tantrums. The MRCTV team visited SCOTUS for the momentous event and captured the reactions of civilians. The abortion activists carried vile signs including ones that said “Off With Their *****,” “I Am A Vagina Voter,” and “Pro-Life Is A Lie, They Don’t Care If People...
  • Biden administration signs five-year contract to house migrant children in North Carolina neighborhood

    About 75% of these "children" that claim to be age 15-17. Potentially thousands of parentless children will be detained at an abandoned school campus within a middle-class neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina, before the children are released to sponsors across the country. The government is hiring 800 workers to staff the facility, the American Hebrew Academy said in a statement, an indication of just how wide-scale the operation will become in the next few weeks. The campus includes 16 dormitory buildings, 35 residential staff apartments, and an $18 million athletic center that features rock climbing walls, basketball courts, and an...

    Nathan W. Jones leads the Bay Area chapter of the Black Gun Owners Assn. But until a few years ago, he wasn't even into guns. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. And George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, sending racial justice protesters into the streets. And white supremacists trashed the U.S. Capitol in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Suddenly, it seemed as if America was on the brink. And with the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe vs. Wade on Friday, emboldening a militant array of white Christian nationalists, we clearly still are. "I had visions of mobs dragging people through the...

    Los Angeles, 2019. Bursts of flame erupt over a city bathed in perpetual twilight. From the pyramid-like offices of the Tyrell Corporation, we see an eye in close-up, the lights of the city reflected in it. Whether this eye is human is yet to be determined. But, ultimately, in Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi masterwork, the eye of the beholder is irrelevant. In the world of Blade Runner the future is a hardscrabble hellscape with no escape. Is it any wonder, then, that Rutger Hauer’s band of rogue replicants – humanoid worker robots designed to blend in with the flesh and...

    Europe imports up to 200 million mostly wild frogs every year. The giant African bullfrog (pictured) may already be extinct in Swaziland. Photograph: Nature Picture Library/Alamy A voracious appetite for frogs’ legs among the French and Belgians is driving species in Indonesia, Turkey and Albania to the brink of extinction, according to a report. Europe imports as many as 200 million mostly wild frogs every year, contributing to a serious depletion of native species abroad. Scientists estimate that the Anatolian water frog could be extinct in Turkey by 2032, because of over-exploitation while other species such as the Albanian water...

    The world is at risk of creating a generation of "racist and sexist robots", researchers have warned - after an experiment found a robot making alarming choices. The device was operating a popular internet-based artificial intelligence system, but consistently chose men over women and white people over other races. It also made stereotypical assumptions about people’s jobs based on their race and sex – identifying women as 'homemakers', black men as 'criminals' and Latino men as 'janitors'. The researchers from Johns Hopkins University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of Washington presented their work at the 2022 Conference on...

    A retired Texas couple says FBI agents on June 22 broke through the gate of their rural home, threw flash-bangs, handcuffed them, and trained lasers on them before searching their home for evidence connected to the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol. Lora DeWolfe and Darrel Kennemer, who live on seven acres near San Marcos, Texas, told The Epoch Times they attended the Jan. 6 rally at the Capitol but did nothing wrong. They believe the FBI mistakenly identified Kennemer as someone else. The FBI didn’t arrest them, they said. Agents eventually produced a search warrant saying Kennemer was...
