In a swanky back room at the Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton, Pa., President Biden sits across from Senate candidate John Fetterman... Biden chimes in, “How’s the campaign going, kid?” “It’s not about kicking balls in the authority you know.” “Just like Strom Thurmond used to say. Where is Strom by the way? Strom?” Biden looks around frantically for the politician who died in 2003. “Problem is this whole crime . . . uh, thing. Just because I said a few times that I want to release half of murderers from jail, this fancy Oz says I’m not (using air...

Russian troops abandoned a key Ukrainian city so rapidly that they left the bodies of their comrades in the streets, offering more evidence Tuesday of Moscow’s latest military defeat as it struggles to hang on to four regions of Ukraine that it illegally annexed last week. (snip) Over the weekend, Russian troops pulled back from Lyman, a strategic eastern town that the Russians had used as a logistics and transport hub, to avoid being encircled by Ukrainian forces.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday made another sweeping change to one of its pandemic-era responses. The federal health agency dropped its country-by-country COVID-19 travel health notices that it began issuing when COVID-19 started spreading in the United States in early 2020. Fewer countries are testing for the virus or reporting cases, making it more difficult to calculate travelers’ chances of contracting the virus, the CDC told news outlets. It said that “as fewer countries are testing or reporting COVID-19 cases, CDC’s ability to accurately assess the COVID-19 (travel health notice) levels for most destinations...

Preface: I've been monitoring the Russia/Ukraine war very closely since the beginning and comparing the non-stop shamefully dishonest propaganda of the OBiden-controlled media with news from independent, mostly pro-Russian sources. What matters to me is truth, and that is coming almost exclusively from the pro-Russian side: It's almost exactly the reverse of the U.S./USSR contest of the Cold War, with America now taking the old Soviet role and the Russian Federation taking the ethical higher ground formerly held by the U.S.Everything done by Putin in this conflict is reasoned, rational and either clearly legal under international law or clearly defensible...

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was stumped and resorted to talking points when Peter Doocy asked her about gas price fluctuations under Joe Biden. “You’ve said the President was responsible for gas prices coming down.

Jareb and Petra Knott, coauthors of the book The Science of Deliverance: How Spiritual Freedom Brings Physical Healing, operate a deliverance ministry to help set people free from demonic influence. Petra explained why she believes so many people today are turning to the occult. “The fascination with evil in society right now — we have a huge interest in the supernatural and people don’t know where to turn to learn about that,” she said. “So, they’re turning to the wrong side.” Petra said fear is another factor that leads people toward these practices. “Witchcraft gives people the illusion of control...
