In a valley far from the front lines last week, several men practiced dropping a half-full bottle of water from a small aerial drone, as though it were a grenade. Others fired rifles at targets 100 yards away. A third group set off for a trek through the surrounding hills, which burst with white and yellow flowers.Almost none of them had military experience before last year. The Ukrainian military is racing to turn civilians into elite soldiers for the cutting edge of a critical summer offensive.Kyiv has been holding some 20 brigades back from the fighting and training them to...

This has now gone beyond the past unseemly attacks on Trump and has become literally unholy. No honorable person would want to have anything to do with this despicable continual targeting of one person for purely political purposes. Unfortunately, that means that most members of the DNC and some members of the Republican“swamp” have no problem with it. Many cannot control their glee at the suspension of the Constitution to destroy one man and preserve their hold on wealth and power. ###It is now abundantly clear that Trump’s real sin is that he challenged the legitimacy of the corrupt US...

Intelligent observers of American higher education know that colleges generally are in great trouble: falling enrollments, declining public and political support, often dubious outcomes, and excessive tuition and other costs. Most depressing, the traditional tolerance of widespread viewpoints and commitment to free expression seem to have declined substantially. While one finds a few encouraging stories dealing with these issues at existing colleges and universities, the overall picture is bleak. It seems that current institutions are doing too little, if anything, to fix the problem. At many, the outlook is palpably worsening. In the competitive, free-market, private-business sector, lags in innovation...

New Hampshire Democrats shot down a bill on Thursday that would have required schools to inform parents about their child’s gender identity, The Associated Press reported. Senate Bill (SB) 272 would have established a “parents’ bill of rights” that would require schools to tell an inquiring parent if their child goes by a different name or gender that is inconsistent with their enrollment records, its text reads. It was defeated in a 195-190 House of Representative vote on Thursday after Democrats weakened it with several “poison pill” amendments and two Republican lawmakers crossed party lines, the AP reported. The bill...

TLANTA — Investigators are asking for your help to identify a robbery suspect. The Atlanta Police Department released photos of the suspect in question. Police said on Wednesday around 8:40 p.m., a black man wearing a black mask, black hoodie, dark gray jeans, and black and gray New Balance shoes entered the Food Mart at 8 Cleveland Ave. SE and attempted to rob the store. During the attempted robbery, the suspect shot at the store clerk, but the bulletproof glass stopped the round, and the suspect ran from the store. Police said anyone with information can submit a tip anonymously...

As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gears up for an expected jump into the 2024 presidential race next week, his powerful adversary, Disney, trampled his pre-launch buzz by scratching a $1 billion plan for an office campus that could have brought 2,000 jobs to the state. The move was the latest twist in a bitter feud between DeSantis and one of the most important corporations operating in the Sunshine State, rooted in a political collision over the Republican governor’s hardline conservative ideology that will become his pitch to GOP primary voters. And it raises the question of whether Floridians are paying...

ST LOUIS, MO — Anheuser-Busch, the company that makes Bud Light, has suffered weeks of stagnant sales following a simple marketing campaign celebrating breathtaking female woman Dylan Mulvaney, who is totally a woman. In response, Bud Light has worked tirelessly to revive its brand and appeal to loyal customers by adding mullets to every can. "These mullets prove just how well we know our customers," said Bud Light Marketing Director Stacey Mulberry-Saffron while explaining the strategic value of focus groups and social media surveys. "We're confident customers will return in droves for this refreshing can of business-in-the-front-and-party-in-the-back." Mulberry-Saffron added...

Mr. Ramsey said he was well aware of the structural issues when he bought the penthouse, but was confident they could be resolved and felt it was an opportunity to take advantage of depressed prices. Since Mr. Perkins paid $9.4 million for the unit as raw space in 2009 and spent another $9 million building it out, Mr. Ramsey said, he felt he was getting a great deal. ...Now that the building is stabilizing, Mr. Ramsey said he expects the problems are largely over and that the building will draw new buyers. He said reports of rising crime and quality-of-life...

Elon Musk has dropped a bombshell on Twitter as evidence mounts up against the FBI regarding the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Musk called attention to a new report from investigative reporter Michael Shellenberger on Twitter. Shellenberger’s report states: “FBI says it won’t release Jan 6 surveillance video because it would show too many undercover government agents and informants.” “The FBI & Democrats say the whistleblowers who testified today are ‘a threat to our national security,’ but they’re not,” Shellenberger wrote. “Rather they are honorable public servants who are being attacked for exposing abuses of power related to January 6....

A self-described “anti-capitalist” café and coffee shop in Canada named The Anarchist with a “pay what you can” business model will close at the end of the month after just over a year in business.

The country is witnessing the second high-profile lynching effort of Justice Clarence Thomas. Even while the media ignores the millions from foreign nationals passing through shell companies to the Biden family, it has pushed invented scandals for Thomas while demanding his resignation to make way for a radical leftist Biden court appointee. While no one expects anything but lies and smears from the media, few are aware of how the smear campaign against Justice Thomas was organized and who is funding it. Before it was splashed all over the media, the Clarence Thomas smears were mostly generated by ProPublica with...

VIDEOIt was obvious from watching the congressional hearing on the whistleblowers that the Democrats will go to any length, even if it makes themselves look like total fools, to protect the politically weaponized FBI. Here are a few of their absolutely pathetic yet laughable antics to protect the deep state.

On Friday, Mr Zelensky was in Saudi Arabia for an Arab League summit. Of the Arab League nations, only Syria has openly supported Russia's invasion. Other member nations have sought to maintain good relations with Moscow. "Unfortunately, there are some in the world and here among you who turn a blind eye to those [prisoner of war] cages and illegal annexations," said Mr Zelensky. "I'm here so that everyone can take an honest look, no matter how hard the Russians try to influence, there must still be independence." Host nation Saudi Arabia has walked a delicate line on the conflict...

Two Ukrainian pilots proved they can master the American-made F-16 fighter jets in just four months — more than four times faster than the Pentagon previously predicted — in a performance that is likely to ratchet up the growing pressure on the Biden Administration to send the lightweight warplanes to Ukraine. Yahoo News on Thursday obtained and published an internal US Air Force assessment that detailed the F-16 training two Ukrainian pilots underwent at Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson, Arizona, in late February and early March. Over the course of eleven and a half total hours in nine...

The man claiming to be the secret love child of King Charles and Camilla recently pointed to an interview with the former Archbishop of Canterbury as “proof” he is the royal pair’s son, RadarOnline.com has learned. In the latest development to come as Simon Dorante-Day, 57, continues to attract worldwide attention over his claims that he was born to Charles and Camilla in 1966, a newly released interview with the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. George Carey, allegedly “proves” Dorante-Day’s claims. According to Carey, Charles and Camilla’s relationship started “when they were teenagers” and not – as is regularly reported...

“After all, this was a collective effort. In Washington, the more people involved in a conspiracy, the less culpable it becomes. They all did it, so no one did.” —Jonathan Turley Historians of the future, boiling up a nice spring bouillabaisse of nettles, cattail tubers, and frogs over their campfires, will pore over John Durham’s mystifying RussiaGate report for clues as to what begat the smoldering wreck of the legal system that once girded all the rough-and-ready ways of the old America, turning us into a land of simpering zombies. There was, apparently, a strange, Satanic cult called the FBI...

The Biden administration has signaled to European allies in recent weeks that the US would allow them to export F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, sources familiar with the discussions said, as the White House comes under increasing pressure from members of Congress and allies to help Ukraine procure the planes amid intensifying Russian aerial attacks. Administration officials are not aware, however, of any formal requests by any allies to export F-16s, and State Department officials who would normally be tasked with the paperwork to approve such third-party transfers have not been told to get to work, officials said. A handful...

Matt Farwell's painstaking timeline of over a hundred years of American information suppression, secret bureaucracies, and "anti-disinformation" scares The turn of the last century brought an age of revolutions, industrial warfare and nearly instantaneous communications across long distances. With these developments came an emphasis on another method of war: information war. This was the type of fight waged with what World War II Deputy Director of the Office of Censorship, Theodore F. Koop, called “Silent Weapons,” in a wartime memoir he published in 1946. Wrote Koop: The censors’ shears were bayonets that not only formed a rear-guard national defense but...
