The much expected Ukrainian 2023 counteroffensive (sequel to the well known trilogy in 2022 "Kyiv" "Kharkiv" & "Kherson") has, alongside Bakhmut, been a major topic of speculation and discussion for months now. As a topic it is so heavily debated that there isn't even agreement over whether or not it has started, is yet to start, or will never start at all. For the most part, while some preparations are obvious, Ukraine has succeeded in keeping its actual plans secret, and even a leak of classified American documents did little to definitively answer the question of where and when Kyiv...

During the House Oversight Committee press conference on the Biden international business enterprise, Rep. Byron Donalds cut to the heart of the matter: **SNIP** I had the ability with Chairman Comer and other members of this committee to go over to the Treasury building and review documents. Having read those documents, one thing became pretty clear: there were many people who had serious questions about the transactions and about the velocity of these transactions, and they either went very deep into concealment, hiding money, shifting money, and for the purpose, we don't know. One thing the American people and the...

If the bombshells unleashed at Wednesday morning’s House Oversight Committee press conference had been about the corruption of a Republican president via millions of dollars in foreign bribes to his family, the clamor for impeachment would have been deafening. But Joe Biden has the protection of the Deep State and unscrupulous Democratic lawyers, so accountability will be slower, though no less certain, if Oversight Chairman James Comer continues his dogged pursuit of the money. Comer (R-Ky.) has delivered an astonishing forensic interim accounting of $10 million in payments from just two of the countries, Romania and China, which enriched the...

The Forum in Rome, dedicated to Julius Caesar, was completed in 46 B.C. as a site for conducting public business generally related to the Roman Senate. Much later, during the 16th century, the site was still usable—Renaissance-era people used it as a hospital. Doctors of the time knew that diseases could be infectious, so they set up protocols for dealing with them and the clothes and tools used to treat ill patients.Prior research has shown that doctors and medical researchers in Italy played a major role in establishing protocols, such disposal of instruments after a single use, and disposing of...

Trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney has said she has been having trouble sleeping since a backlash erupted over her partnership with Bud Light and questioned the psychological effects of being called a man thousands of times a day. Her comments came during an episode of the 'Dear Schuyler' podcast, hosted by trans athlete Schuyler Bailar and which released on Monday. Mulvaney suggested that as the trans debate in the US has escalated, transphobia has become increasingly blatant, resulting in an inhospitable 'wild west' for trans people. On April 1, Mulvaney became embroiled in a controversy that would make national headlines for...

Finland’s outgoing prime minister announced Wednesday that she is divorcing her husband — just a few months after she came under fire for partying on the job and dancing “intimately” with another man. Prime Minister Sanna Marin, 37, and her husband of three years, Markus Raikkonen, shared on Instagram Stories that they had jointly filed for divorce. “We are grateful for the 19 years together and our beloved daughter. We will remain best friends,” they wrote. The former couple married in August 2020, when Finland was grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic.

CNN faced backlash from opponents of former President Donald Trump for hosting him in a town hall on the network Wednesday, charging that they gave him a stage. “CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” lamented socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). “They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim. The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.”

Former President Donald Trump steamrolled CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during Wednesday’s Town Hall event in New Hampshire, dismissing her politically biased and outdated questions, effectively reducing her role as the moderator by speaking directly to the audience about the “gotcha” topics a visibly irritated Collins continually posed throughout the night. The highly anticipated town hall event, teased by Trump, proved to bode well for the former president, despite Collins’ attempt to begin the town hall event with a series of contentious topics and arguably outdated leftist narratives — from the 2020 election results to January 6 to accusations in the E....

In true House of Cards fashion , Tara Reade, who has accused President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s, posted a bone-chilling message days before potentially having to testify before Congress. Last week, Reade warned about the dangers of the Democrat Party and how powerful they can be when someone or something threatens their chances of having control of the country. "I want to make something clear," Reade tweeted. "If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden. Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying, and intimidation over the last three years will not...

Imagine there is a children’s birthday party in your backyard, and officers enter and shoot a child while trying to kill your dog. Imagine you’re in your bathing suit at a public pool, and, as you walk away from a police officer, he body slams you so hard it breaks your clavicle and renders you unconscious. Imagine you’re on your front porch, searching for a misplaced set of house keys, when several police officers suddenly attack and arrest you. Imagine these police officers all get away with these horrific acts because of qualified immunity, which shields them from personal liability...

Alafasy has sparked controversy several times for his praise of Egyptian President Sisi and Saudi Arabia's King SalmanThe invitation of world-renowned Kuwaiti Quran reciter, Sheikh Mishary Alafasy, has left Muslims in the US divided, with one mosque pulling out of a scheduled event and another event on the verge of selling out. “Take a minute to let this organisation, Eid committee of New Jersey, know that the dictator and tyrant-loving Mishary is not welcome in the United States,” Imran Muneer, a Muslim podcast host, wrote on Facebook. Alafasy, the default reciter on Quran.com with 22 million followers on Facebook, is...

A record number of migrants - more than 10,000 - were recently apprehended at the US-Mexico border in a 24-hour period, fuelling fears over what comes next when a controversial immigration policy expires this week.Nowhere are the realities of what some have termed a border "crisis" more evident than in the Texas city of El Paso. Here, migrants - many of them confused about the impending rule changes - have been left sleeping rough in makeshift campsites on city streets over the last several days. Several thousand were camped out earlier this week around a single church in the city...
