Russia said Friday it had completed its withdrawal of forces from the southern city of Kherson, two days after Moscow said it had made the "difficult decision" to pull back amid Ukrainian advances. "Today at 5 o'clock in the morning Moscow time, the transfer of Russian troops to the left bank of the Dnipro River was completed," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Telegram. “There was no loss of personnel, weapons and military equipment,” the ministry said, adding civilians “were assisted in the evacuation.” Following the withdrawal, the Kremlin said that the city of Kherson was still...

During an interview with FNC’s “Your World” on Thursday, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) pledged her support for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). McConnell’s hold on his leadership post has come into question as Republicans seemingly underperformed in this week’s midterm elections.

Beyond Meat (BYND.O) on Wednesday posted a bigger-than-expected quarterly loss.

PHOENIX (AP) — Democrats padded their narrow leads in key Arizona contests on Thursday, but the races for U.S. Senate and governor were still too early to call with about a fifth of the total ballots left to be counted. Election officials in Maricopa County, which includes metro Phoenix and more than 60% of voters, expected to begin reporting results Friday from a crucial group of ballots — nearly 300,000 mail ballots that were returned on Election Day. That group has swung wildly in recent election cycles, from strongly Democratic in the 2018 midterms to strongly Republican in 2020. Former...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 12 The Sign of Jonah 38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” 39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will...

Joe Biden on Wednesday put in his cross-hairs a wide range of ordinary firearms owned by millions of Americans, insisting that "assault weapons" be banned all across the country. Technically, any weapon can be used in an "assault" but leftists often use the term to describe weapons that have certain looks – such as an attached cartridge, a pistol grip, even camouflage markings. A report at Just the News explained Biden was responding to questions about what he'll do differently during the second half of his term. During the first half, he's allowed inflation of up to 9.1% to assault...

The controversial tent city housing migrants on Randall’s Island is set to close next week, The Post has confirmed. The single adult men who have been living at the makeshift complex, which was open for just over a month, will be moved to the Watson Hotel in Manhattan, according to an email to councilmembers obtained by The Post. “This site was always intended to be temporary-and the City believes that the Watson Hotel HERRC is the most effective and efficient option for single adult men,” the email reads. The National Guard, which was called in to help deal with the...

President Biden is expected to announce a proposal for stronger regulations on the oil and gas sector aimed at controlling emissions of a planet warming gas called methane. The stronger methane regulations are part of a slew of climate-related actions that Biden is expected to announce during his trip to the COP27 global climate summit in Egypt. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) projects that in 2030, the requirements would cut 87 percent of methane emissions from the pollution sources that it regulates when compared to 2005 levels. The proposal strengthens a Biden administration proposal from last year that was expected...

The Democrats and their media accomplices keep telling us the Republicans are the fascists and autocrats hungry for power. But just the opposite is true. The Democrats themselves made it clear during the pandemic that they are the party of authoritarianism. In the spring of 2020, this country went into a lockdown. As Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute has noted, government officials canceled public worship services, segregated the large cities, abolished in-person education, foisted masks on all the kids, destroyed millions of businesses, and censored speech “so that we could barely discover facts.” They shut down concerts, imposed limits...

On Thursday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” White House Council of Economic Advisers member Jared Bernstein said that he agrees with President Joe Biden’s vow to not change his policies and Biden “is on extremely solid ground” and “there’s going to come in some evidence from the election that people understood that.” Bernstein stated, “I’m exactly where he is. I mean, again, if you look at the actions that we’ve taken to help ease inflationary pressures, I think there’s evidence that they are yielding results. We talked a little bit about energy, we’ve got more work to do there,...

Francis Opens Novus Ordo Churches for Protestants, FORBIDDEN for CatholicsDuring his November 4 speech at an ecumenical meeting in Bahrain, Francis encouraged his audience to maintain the "fine habit" of making church buildings available to other communities "for the worship of the one Lord.”He added that “the praise of God” is the “spiritual cenacle” to make unity among Christians.This is the same Francis who is banning the celebration of Roman Mass in parish churches. It is clear from Francis' words that he sees the Novus Ordo as just another form of Protestant worship, while he opposes the Catholic liturgy.

A Post-Election Reflection There won’t be a “red wave” without red-pilling. I am an American, but I haven’t set foot in the states for years. Yes, my daily Internet access provides me with the illusion that I’m in touch with life back home and that I know how people are thinking and feeling. But I can’t really be sure at all that I’m getting the right bead on things. So when a great many of the American political commentators and podcasters whom I most respect predicted a “red wave” or even a “red tsunami” on Election Day, I thought: Well,...

Despite the apparent success of the retreat, the loss of Kherson still represents a major defeat for Putin and his armed forces.

NEW YORK/BOSTON (Reuters) - Funds adhering to environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) principles have been hit by unprecedented outflows in the market downturn, as investors prioritize capital preservation over goals such as tackling climate change. ESG, a classification applied to fund assets currently worth an estimated $6.5 trillion, is being tested by a drop in market values fuelled by concerns that central banks hiking interest rates to fight rampant inflation will trigger an economic recession. Investors souring on ESG funds could pose a challenge to governments seeking to enlist them in the fight against climate change. Policymakers at the...

Former Vice President Al Gore and Google’s nonprofit arm are funding Climate TRACE, an environmentalist nonprofit coalition that uses a satellite database to track “individual emitters” of greenhouse gases around the world. Climate TRACE aims to track emissions from energy producers and other large sources of CO2 to fill “critical knowledge gaps” for governments and international bodies that rely on a “patchwork system” to monitor carbon emissions, according to its website. The nonprofit coalition uses satellite imaging remote sensing and artificial intelligence to track greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation, manufacturing and road traffic. “This is a way for climate...
