... According to the US Department of State, about 16,000 American nationals are currently in Sudan. The US Embassy in Khartoum had an excessive staff strength – on par with its Mission in Kiev – which was unwarranted by the scale and volume of US-Sudanese bilateral ties, leading to speculation that it was a key intelligence outpost. ... In a nutshell, the crux of the matter is that the Western understanding of stability and sustainable development in Sudan through the prism of the neocon ideology that permeates the Biden administration lies at the core of the aggravation of the sluggish...

Joe Biden formally launched his re-election campaign on Tuesday, asking Americans to give him another four years to finish what he started. The president, famously nostalgic, chose to launch his campaign on the fourth anniversary of his return to politics in 2019, when he declared his intention to seek the presidential nomination for a third time. Then, like now, Biden relied on a video to formally declare his candidacy before venturing on to the campaign trail.

I found myself, like many on this forum, unable to sleep soundly last night. I awoke hours earlier than my usual 4:30 and read several postings on the firing of Tucker Carlson. Unable to go back to sleep, I poured a coffee, and went to the premium YouTube channel (i.e. commercial free and the best informational outlet, next to FR, on TV), and watched a few videos on anti-aging, and the latest endeavors of our little Mars Helicopter. Eventually, I came across Bill O'Reilly's piece on what happened to Tucker. BOR, says that the Tucker team were taken by surprise....

Border security experts say Vice President Kamala Harris’s claim that the Trump administration “dismantled” and “broke” America’s immigration system is nothing more than deflection. “This is an example of what is known in psychology is deflection - blaming others for what you yourself have done,” Andrew Arthur, resident fellow in law and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Signal. During an interview with Spanish-language television outlet Noticias Telemundo published Friday, Harris was asked about the Biden administration’s plan to deal with the expected surge of illegal aliens crossing the southern border when the public health measure...

“Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross, spikes through her feet and hands…” — Aurora Mardiganian, Ravished Armenia.

This is a context you won’t find elsewhere {smiles}. The phone has been blowing up…. Context and some details matter. First, Carlson was being paid about $20 million a year by Murdoch. He had about 3 years left on his contract and will be paid the full contract amount. Carlson found out about 10 minutes before Fox Corp made the announcement. They did not “part ways,” Tucker Carlson was fired. (Via WSJ) – Mr. Carlson, whose contract was renewed in 2021, will be paid out for the rest of his contract, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Carlson is...

Comrades, in this wake-up monologue Oliver hits on the key dynamic we have discussed, we are in an abusive relationship with government. We are being oppressed and held captive by our inability to come to terms with the nature of this relationship. We are suffering through battered citizen syndrome, thinking that if we just bear through the next round of beatings the abuser will change.Neil Oliver hits another key point, something you also might find familiar. The gaslighting around us that feeds and maintains the nature of the abusive relationship is based on the entire community around us “pretending” we...

No, I am not exaggerating or being salacious with the headline for today’s blog. The United Nations organization really does want sex with minors (they give no age limit to what a minor means!), sex work (including “pimping” out women and men), and abortion completely decriminalized. All this, and more, in the name of so-called “human rights.” It’s the depravity of man on display for the world to see.

A groundbreaking study from NYU Grossman School of Medicine has shed new light on the causes of gray hair. It also focuses on the unique properties of melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) found in hair follicles. The study reveals that as people age, McSCs lose their ability to move between growth compartments in hair follicles. This ultimately affects hair color. The research improves our understanding of the mechanisms underlying hair pigmentation. It also opens up the possibility of developing treatments to reverse or prevent graying in humans. Published in the journal Nature on April 19, the study focused on cells present...

Former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin on Monday endorsed former President Donald Trump, becoming the latest current or former Republican lawmaker to back the ex-president ahead of the 2024 primary, The Hill reported. “The GOP is filled with amazing talent to save our country from the failed policies of the Biden Admin,” Zeldin posted on Twitter in a statement shared by the Trump campaign. “Our nominee in 2024 will be the 45th & 47th POTUS, Donald Trump. Our economy will be stronger, our streets will be safer, & our lives will be freer. He has my full support!” .....

President Joe Biden’s advisers are moving quickly to finalize staffing and operational details of his reelection campaign ahead of what’s widely expected to be a bruising 19-month effort to convince the public of his accomplishments and his ability to serve well into his eighties. Biden returned to the White House late Sunday from a weekend at Camp David designed to serve as an intensive runthrough of campaign and personnel planning, including matters still requiring his final approval, people familiar with the matter said. But even as officials made final edits to an announcement video likely to be released Tuesday, marking...

..... The channel didn’t give a reason for Carlson’s departure in its press release, which said that his last program aired Friday, and its own staff was reportedly blindsided by the move. But it came shortly after Fox News paid nearly $800 million in a high-profile defamation settlement to Dominion Voting Systems, in part because of lies Carlson told his viewers about the company’s role in the 2020 presidential election. Carlson is separately facing a lawsuit from a Jewish former producer on his show, who alleges that senior staff fostered an office culture full of sexism and antisemitism, including berating...

At the 1 minute and 34 second mark Tucker says the media is not here to inform you. Even on the big things that matter like the economy, war, covid, etc... They are working for a small group of people that are running the world. They are the Praetorian Guard, and we should treat them with maximum contempt because they have earned it. https://twitter.com/Lukewearechange/status/1650662552408391683

North Dakota has adopted one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the country - as Republican Gov. Doug Burgum signed legislation banning nearly all procedures. The slim exception is if the abortion is performed in the first six weeks of pregnancy. In those early weeks, abortion would be allowed only in cases of rape, incest or medical emergency, such as ectopic pregnancy. Most women do not realize they are pregnant by six weeks. Until now, procedures in the state had previously been legal until up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. 'This bill clarifies and refines existing state law ... and...

Fans of Tucker Carlson's now canceled Fox News show are comparing the beleaguered network to Bud Light and threatening to boycott it altogether in the wake of Carlson's firing. Carlson was blindsided by his firing from Fox News and learned of it on Monday morning shortly before it was announced, sources tell DailyMail.com. Now, some of Carlson's fans, guests and conservatives in general are trashing the network's decision. Frequent guest Michael Tracey wrote: 'Fox News has eliminated the only reason why anyone under 40 pays any attention to Fox News.' Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia went further. 'Cable news...
