Elon Musk has rejected calls by ex-NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to ramp up his Starlink internet system over Ukraine to aid the armed forces. Kelly tweeted Musk on Saturday saying: 'Ukraine desperately needs your continued support. Defense from a genocidal invasion is not an offensive capability. It's survival. Innocent lives will be lost. You can help. Thank you.' It came after Musk's company restricted Ukraine's military access to Starlink, in particular it being used to control grenade-carrying drones. Musk was quick to respond to Kelly, on Sunday defending his wariness to the increase coverage any further in the country. 'You're...

"I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it" (Phil. 1:6). God always finishes what He starts. All who love Christ desire to be like Him in spiritual perfection and absolute holiness. We want to please Him in every respect. However, that noble pursuit is often met with frustration and discouragement as human frailties and sin block our pathway. Paul's cry in Romans 7 is ours as well: "That which I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I...

Signs of unrest surfaced almost immediately after the team's 38-35 defeat Sunday night - with disgruntled fans swarming City Hall and clashing with cops that had been stationed throughout the city in case of such an outcome. Police scanner audio since 10:30pm suggested police had made multiple arrests, as citizens were seen scaling lampposts, chanting 'f*** the Chiefs', and hurling glass bottles throughout the city's Downtown neighborhood. Footage circulating on social media also shows several residents lighting fireworks, with others egging on armed SWAT teams tasked with keeping the piece. In one shocking clip, a group of Philadelphians are seen...

“Kill them wherever you meet them. If you are a tradesman, use a nail gun to nail the heads and crucify them on woodwork. If you are a truck driver, run over them until their streets are washed with their filthy blood or pour oil on their houses while they are sleeping, and set them on fire so that the message [not to harm Muslims and Islam] will be burned into their heads.”

The president of the Russian republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has said his top general in Ukraine has been poisoned after handling an envelope. Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram social media channel that Apti Alaudinov, who commands the Akhmat special forces, had picked up a letter on February 8 that was saturated with a substance with a strong smell. Alaudinov, as well as other personnel who came into contact with the envelope, were treated by medical staff whose actions meant that "serious consequences were avoided," Kadyrov said in his post.

"When Free Russia was formed, I applied, went through some background checks, and ended up here.” The two men now form a mortar crew squaring off against raw Russian troops. “Putin really raised the stakes with mobilization,” Tsezar said. “Earlier, we were fighting against the so-called ‘little green men’ and some Vasya was sitting in Saratov watching television,” he said, using a diminutive of the common Russian first name Vasily. “Now Vasya has to get off his butt and crawl around a cold trench outside of Bakhmut while Tikhy and I fire mortars at him,” he said. “Vasya’s attitude is...

From an appearance on MSNBC.

VLADIMIR Putin has ordered Russian intelligence agencies to ramp up the recruitment of "kamikaze" spies in Britain, leaked documents suggest. Former UK intelligence officials said Britain is currently a "major" target - and Russia will be doing everything it can to "get access to people and turn agents in useful places". Former Russian spy Boris Karpichkov, 62, previously claimed there are at least four Russian agents currently working in Westminster. MPs and their staff have been urged to stay alert as tensions ratchet up with Moscow over the war in Ukraine. In emails now seen by The Sun Online, a...

The Palestinian Authority and its supporters have a new enemy: the Louvre.The world's most-visited museum, the famous French institution that holds some of the greatest works of art and antiquities, is likely to find itself on anti-Israel boycott lists around the world.This is because among the Louvre's storied collections is a slab of stone with an inscription that affirms the ancient connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel.The stone, known as the Mesha Stele, was first discovered in 1868 near the Dead Sea, but its inscription, written in the language of the ancient Moabites, was only partially...

After seeing promising results in Eastern Europe, Google will initiate a new campaign in Germany that aims to make people more resilient to the corrosive effects of online misinformation. The tech giant plans to release a series of short videos highlighting the techniques common to many misleading claims. The videos will appear as advertisements on platforms like Facebook, YouTube or TikTok in Germany. A similar campaign in India is also in the works. It’s an approach called pre-bunking, which involves teaching people how to spot false claims before they encounter them. The strategy is gaining support among researchers and tech...

The first people to enter the Americas may have taken the coastal route along the Bering Strait Land Bridge during these two periods.During the last ice age, the coastal route from Asia to North America was so treacherous, humans likely crossed over only during two time windows, when environmental factors were more favorable for the long and dangerous journey, a new study finds.The first window lasted from 24,500 to 22,000 years ago, and the other spanned from 16,400 to 14,800 years ago, according to the study, published Feb. 6 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(opens in...

Pakistan is no longer a strategic partner of the United States. With the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan , the political relevance of Pakistan to the U.S. is significantly diminished. Pakistan continues to harbor Islamic terrorists who would bring death to India, an important strategic partner of the U.S. This concern bears renewed attention because Pakistan is facing an economic catastrophe. Its economy is collapsing because of political failures, including poor governance and corruption, causing high inflation, a rapidly depreciating currency, and soaring imports of food and energy. Islamabad's foreign currency reserves, necessary to import essential commodities such as...
