Among the additional surprises were Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday offered to resume gas supplies to Europe through the intact part of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. "The ball is in the EU's court. If they want to, then the taps can be turned on and that's it," he said in a speech at an energy forum in Moscow. Germany, however,,said it would not take Russian gas via the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that has become a flashpoint in the Ukraine crisis. Asked if Berlin would rule out the use of Nord Stream 2, German government spokeswoman Christiane Hoffmann said, "Yes."

Conservative political commentator Candace Owens dismissed the charges that Kanye West was antisemitic in a recent tweet stating that he would "go death con 3 on Jewish people." Owens said that West's statement was not actually demonizing Jewish people. "If you are an honest person, you did not think this tweet was antisemitic," Owens, who works for the Daily Wire news site run by Jewish political commentator Ben Shapiro, said Monday. "You did not think that he wrote this tweet because he hates or wants to genocide Jewish people. This is not the beginning of a Holocaust." ..... "If you...

For months, die-hard environmental activists have camped in the fields and occupied the trees in this tiny farming village in western Germany, hoping that like-minded people from across the country would arrive and help stop the expansion of a nearby open-pit coal mine that threatened to swallow the village and its farms. But the hoped-for surge in protesters never materialized. And last week, the government effectively sealed Lützerath’s fate by announcing that RWE, Germany’s largest energy company, needed the coal under the village — to make up for gas that had stopped flowing in from Russia. The war in Ukraine,...

The Tren de Aragua rose to power in Nicolas Maduro’s anarchotyranny. Now they’re in Florida. Last week, El American broke the news that members of the Tren de Aragua, the largest criminal organization in Venezuela (after the government), had crossed the southern border and were living in Orlando, Florida. The news came a week after Breitbart had claimed that Venezuelan criminals were crossing the border to live in the U.S.—more than likely continuing their criminal enterprises. The source told El American that the criminals were living in Bogotá, Colombia, and were able to change their identity by bribing Venezuelan officials....

These people just overthrew their globalist tyrant government. Beautiful vocals....

Clayton and Natali Morris discuss the news that Ukraine has become so desperate for troops that it is recruiting ISIS and Al Qaeda members. From a clip from Clayton's interview with Col. Douglas Macgregor:Macgregor: "Most of Ukrainian's best forces are gone. They have been killed or wounded. Ukrainians have lost, roughly, 100,000 dead. Perhaps, 200, 300 or 400,000 wounded. They started out with an army of 600,000. Remember we spent eight years building this army up with express purpose of attacking Russia. That's what it was designed to do. That's why the Russians attacked it."

Singer and business empire owner Kanye West is one of the most controversial figures in the world. He’s a rapper in an industry that generally leans very much to the left, yet he’s a conservative. His Christian views are confusing to some, including many fellow Christians. And he’s never afraid to speak his mind on stage, through social media, or during interviews. But even someone like “Ye” is not immune to cancel culture and it just hit him in a big way. He now has until next month to move his financial empire out of JP Morgan Chase banks. According...

BRUSSELS—During a hearing today on the European Union’s COVID-19 response, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets, Janine Small, admitted that its vaccine had never been tested before its release to the general public on its ability to prevent the transmission of COVID when asked by Dutch politician and a current Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Robert “Rob” Roos. “Regarding the question around did we know about stopping immunization before it entered the market…No.,” Small replied with a smirk when asked by Roos if the Pfizer’ COVID vaccine was ever tested to stop the transmission of the virus before it...

“Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13:11).

President Joe Biden was in Colorado Wednesday declaring a national monument. As the New York Times reported this week, Biden is the “storyteller in chief” who “spins yarns that often unravel.” We’re not sure we believe his stories about teaching his family to ski there and then talking about it over dinner back at home. https://twitter.com/dcexaminer/status/1580315228918513664President @JoeBiden incorrectly said his late son Beau "lost his life in Iraq." As he so often does, Biden brought up his deceased son Beau, who died at Walter Reed hospital of brain cancer in 2015. According to the president Wednesday, his son actually died...

We're back at the Conejo Valley School Board, already under fire for thinking public school is a place for sexual indoctrination. Superintendent Dr. Mark McLaughlin addressed the accusation that a thirteen-year-old was shuffling all five of his knuckles in class, and that the district had not responded to the issue. (shout out to Post Millennial)

That was this afternoon. This evening Bank of America canceled popular conservative Twitter user Catturd’s podcast account. No reason was given. Our friend Catturd did not go quietly. Bank of America’s third-largest shareholder is Woke Blackrock, a financial group with strong ties to Communist China.

Former congressman, veteran, and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard (D, Hawaii) made news this week by leaving the Democratic Party, with a stinging public rebuke to the corruption and warmongering of its current leadership. She wins points with reasonable people whenever she's on television, and why not? Tulsi Gabbard is attractive, well-spoken, logical... always a welcome talk show guest because she's willing to call out her fellow Democrats for some of their extreme, destructive positions. But don't be fooled. Tulsi Gabbard is NOT one of us. America may owe Tulsi Gabbard a debt of gratitude for her wonderful takedown of Kamala...

Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to Vail, Colorado and delivered remarks on protecting and preserving the state’s outdoor spaces. Biden’s entire speech was full of lies, gaffes and embellishments. At one point Joe Biden shamelessly claimed his son Beau died in Iraq. Joe Biden’s son Beau died of brain cancer at Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland in 2015. Biden is a pathological liar. VIDEO:

Another day, another leak to the Washington Post. A Trump employee told the FBI they moved boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago on the former president’s orders, according to the Washington Post.

An exiled Nicaraguan journalist says she fears a growing presence of Russsian troops in her homeland as the country grows increasingly isolated on the world stage. Berta Valle — wife of imprisoned Nicaraguan opposition leader and presidential candidate Felix Maradiaga — told The Post on Monday that Nicaraguans are “terrified” of dictator Daniel Ortega’s decision to welcome Russian soldiers to the Central American country after seeing what they’ve done in Ukraine. “Ortega invited the Russian military into Nicaragua. Publicly, he says Russia is supporting the military training of the Nicaraguan military. But we are terrified, because our country is hosting...
