The U.S. State Department said the Kremlin is preparing to hold "sham" referenda to annex Russia-controlled areas of Ukraine, warning that Moscow will employ propaganda and disinformation campaigns, falsify voter turnout and exaggerate the percentage of Ukrainians who want to join Russia to conduct its illegal land grab. The United States has previously warned that Moscow was moving forward to hold elections to disguise its annexation of Ukrainian regions, but State Department Principal Deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters for first time Tuesday that the effort was being overseen by Sergey Kiriyenko, the first deputy head of Russia's presidential administration....

The Wall Street Journal editorial board argued Sunday that former President Trump should be held to the same standards as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. They said that the Department of Justice set a precedent by declining to prosecute Clinton in 2016 for her mishandling of classified emails, and hence, attempting to similarly prosecute Trump would be an unequal application of the law. "When Jim Comey held his July 2016 press briefing on Hillary Clinton’s emails, his conclusion was this: ‘Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is...

Often attributed to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s lead propagandist, is the phrase, “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.” Turns out, the Democrats are masters at employing Nazi Machivellianism, and frequently point the finger at the Right for being guilty of spreading misinformation. So, as we near the November midterms, it’s worth recalling some of the most egregious instances of Democrat lies. For years, the media and other Democrats falsely claimed that Obama was tough on Russia and Trump was soft on Putin. That is laughable, as the truth is quite the opposite. One of the first things...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemExodus 13Crossing the Sea 17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[a] The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle. 19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your...

The day that Russia invaded Ukraine, Feb. 24, the legacy of Mikhail S. Gorbachev loomed over President Vladimir V. Putin’s predawn speech. “The paralysis of power and will is the first step toward complete degradation and oblivion,” Mr. Putin intoned, referring to the Soviet Union’s collapse. “We lost confidence for only one moment, but it was enough to disrupt the balance of forces in the world.” For Mr. Putin, the end of the Soviet Union was the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” a “genuine tragedy” for millions of Russians because it left them scattered across newly formed national borders....

Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the south of the country continues to gather pace with its forces again striking bridges leading to the occupied city of Kherson in a bid to choke off supply routes for Russia’s forces there. In other news, an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) convoy is believed to have left the Ukrainian capital on a mission to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine on Wednesday morning. Europe’s largest nuclear power station has become a fighting ground for the conflict, with both sides blaming each other for attacks on and around the complex. Fighting around the...

Does this seem normal to you? Have you ever heard of seven doctors dead in a 14-day period (from July 13 through July 28)? How about five dead doctors in a few days, in one city (Toronto)? How about 14 dead doctors in the past nine months? And these dead doctors were mostly YOUNG. Do these headlines catch your attention? Because they're all true. Confirmed. Fact. It all just happened in Canada, a small country of 30 million (one-tenth the size of America). In Canada they're obsessed with the COVID-19 vaccine. The government is ruthless to the point of appearing...

Watching her on Fox News it was awesome to see. That kid is so very lucky to have a mom like Kaylee. Made my day/week. God bless that woman (yes, W-O-M-A-N!) and prayers for a healthy pregnancy and birth.

A Florida man learned his electric vehicle needs a new battery - at the price of nearly $30,000. The replacement estimate from Roger Dean Chevrolet in Cape Coral, Florida, began to circulate on social media last week, with many questioning its legitimacy. The dealership confirmed the quote, however, noting that the estimate was for a Chevrolet Volt, which carries heftier costs due to its older technology. Bet that Chevy Volt sounded like a good idea at first. pic.twitter.com/q57U0gZowU - Rob O'Donnell (@odonnell_r) August 25, 2022 “This is an estimate for a 12 year old vehicle out of warranty and for...

Polio outbreaks in New York and London are spreading, in part, through human feces and bad sanitation habits. One New York man was found to have been infected with polio earlier this summer, the first American case in years and he ended up temporarily paralyzed, according to ABC News. Authorities then discovered the virus spreading throughout the wastewater systems both in London and in various parts of New York, indicating that more cases are going undetected. The New York man suffered from vaccine-derived poliovirus. There are two types of polio vaccines in common use today: an injection which uses a...

“Josh Sigurdson reports on the shocking footage out of Poland as thousands line up for DAYS at a time in their cars to collect rations of coal to ensure heating in the winter as the global supply chain and the energy grid collapse simultaneously, all by the plan. Cars could be seen for as far as the eye can see, waiting to desperately hoard coal for the coming winter as the grid goes down. The rations are becoming clear and present worldwide as the globalists destroy the supply chain and grid. The rations are just an early sign of what...

Are you hungry? Good, according to the central planners. The folks over at the UN stopped destroying the world for a brief few minutes to publish a piece (snapshot below) justifying their behavior and explaining the “benefits” of the famine they’ve engineered. Not making this up. The article remained on the UN website for a day or so before being deleted after it went viral on social media, with people horrified at the truly unbelievable evil. The good thing about this is that as they continue with their predictive programming and NLP (seriously, look into both and it promises to...

ANP received the following email a little over a week ago, and I have spent time researching the issue, which is meat prices, how they continue to rise and how a “surge” is expected, which experts are predicting will last years. (Article by Susan Duclos republished from AllNewsPipeline.com) Yes, years. Not counting how they have already “surged” over the course of the last two years, we are now being warned that another spike is expected, which we will get into below the email sent to ANP. The name of the town and reader has been redacted at the request of...

The best Scott Ritter interview I've seen (being interviewed by Czechs from the Czech Republic.) Brutal historic truth about NATO leading up to today's disaster and how we got here. I consider Ritter to be a "Giant Among Pygmies." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VYZGuaqT5Y "If there was no NATO expansion, there would be no conflict in Ukraine."

Google is barring Truth Social from the Google Play Store, meaning a reported 44 percent of Americans can’t access the pro-free speech application. “Google is canceling conservatives ahead of an election. They’re not even hiding their efforts to sway elections anymore,” tweeted Media Research Center President Brent Bozell. Axios reported that Google has not yet approved Truth Social’s Android app for distribution on the Google Play Store. CEO of Truth Social Devin Nunes said “when” former President Donald Trump’s social media app will be available on Android is “up to the Google Play Store.” […] Former President Trump blasted Google’s...

The IRS official chosen to lead the new "centralized office" featuring the nearly 87,000 new employees funded in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was involved in the agency's targeting of conservative groups that opposed Barack Obama's reelection in 2012. IRS official Nikole Flax Nikole Flax served as the chief of staff for then acting IRS Commissioner Stephen Miller, who was fired amid a cover-up of the scandal. When Republican lawmakers sought communications related to the scandal in an investigation, Flax's emails were among those the agency claimed were lost in a computer hard-drive crash. The IRS, the lawmakers charged, was...
