President Biden on Thursday slammed Republicans for what he called taking credit for legislation that they opposed during an appearance at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting. “They ain’t got no shame!” Biden said after impersonating some Republican lawmakers touting bills they voted against. “They don’t have any shame!”

Families of Russian troops killed in Ukraine receive compensation, however some receive more than others. A soldier’s life is twice as expensive in Moscow as it is in Yekaterinburg. But a family of a Buryat will receive only a third compared to that of a slain Muscovite. The federal authorities of Russia are supposed to pay families of Russian soldiers killed during the invasion of Ukraine a lump sum of RUB 7.4 (EUR 126,000). Receiving this kind of compensation may be challenging, as the army frequently lists soldiers that have been killed as MIAs, according to the article “‘Private Pivovarov...

NEW YORK -- Ministers from 14 countries opened the first in-person meeting of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework in Los Angeles on Thursday, looking to advance the U.S.-led initiative meant to compete with China in the region. The talks are to focus on the IPEF's four pillars: fair and resilient trade; supply chain resilience; clean energy, decarbonization and infrastructure; and taxes and anti-corruption. The IPEF is not a formal trade agreement but a trade partnership, omitting discussion of tariff eliminations and market access. It represents a major departure from the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. A new digital skills...

NEW YORK (AP) — The Biden administration has officially undone a Trump-era rule that barred immigrants from gaining legal residency if they had utilized certain government benefits, allowing for a return to a previous policy with a narrower scope. The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday said a new regulation for the “public charge” rule would go into effect in late December, although the Biden administration had already stopped applying the previous version last year. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement that the shift “ensures fair and humane treatment.” “Consistent with America’s bedrock values, we will not...

THE THESIS: Governments, medical bosses and their partners in the Mockingbird Media are covering-up the mRNA deaths and what is probably contributing to them, the strange, foreign, fibrous clots being found in the veins of dead people, without regard to how they died. To believe this is not connected to the mRNA needle-raping is to believe the sun runs on wind power. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: The Party has tried so hard to cover this all up. So, how is it getting around the censorship and canceling of people? My theory is this: no one is able to hide...

For decades the political left has called those on the political right fascists. Doing so is particularly de rigueur these days, with Joe Biden saying that Donald Trump supporters are semi-fascists, and then devoting an entire speech to trying to convince the nation that those who disagree with him and his party are threats to our republic. But it’s nothing more than another lie told to sustain the Democratic Party’s campaign to occupy America. Democrats have been calling their political opponents fascists since at least 1948, when Harry Truman said a Republican election win would pose a fascistic threat to...

“It is with great sadness that we confirm the untimely passing of our husband, father, brother and friend, David A. Arnold,” his family told the LA Times. “David passed away peacefully today in his home and doctors have ruled the cause of death due to natural causes.”

Shame on Biden's White House nutball freak bureaucrats, shame on them, shame on if it were Trump's, why would you seek to damage someone like Wolf, others, myself etc. who are just trying to help?

The Pentagon has halted deliveries of the highly advanced F-35 Lighting II stealth fighter jet after discovering that a small part of the aircraft was made in China. An alloy magnet used in the engines of the F-35 fighter jet was sourced in China and has triggered a significant stand-down. Pause the Deliveries The F-35 program office has paused deliveries to the U.S. military and international participants in order to determine any potential implications to the operations and security of the stealth fighter jet.

As midterm spending intensifies, Republicans should prepare to talk about Democrats’ green agenda as another front in the elite culture war on America’s middle class. Amid the GOP’s struggle to bridge pre-Trump establishment politics with post-Trump populism, Democrats’ class warfare makes that task much easier. Establishment Republicans who cut ads and cash checks are inclined to talk about dollars and cents, assuming it’s enough to motivate voters in a bad economy. They see this approach as one that is mutually exclusive with the culture war, allowing them to avoid the issues that make cocktail parties uncomfortable while also amassing power...

It is becoming increasingly obvious something is amiss. One might be tempted to recall the words of a nineteenth-century revolutionary: “A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of Communism.” But the bloody history of the last century has demonstrated beyond question that Marx was no prophet. However, a specter is, indeed, haunting not just Europe but the entire world, and ground zero for this strange new spirit is the United States, a land where communism never gained a foothold. This rising spirit has no widely recognized name at present, but it has certain definitive characteristics that coalesce into a singular, grotesque...

Ukraine pressed an offensive in the east of the country on Friday, seeking to cut off Russian forces as Kyiv achieved its biggest breakthrough in months of grinding combat. Over the past three days, Ukrainian forces have advanced almost 50 kilometers, or about 31 miles, in the northeastern Kharkiv region, the army general staff said Friday. Images of the Ukrainian flag being raised over local government buildings and residents greeting soldiers with tears of joy have boosted morale across the country after months on the defensive. One video showed Ukrainian soldiers in the city of Balakliya clambering on top of...
