Colonel Douglas Macgregor shares with Stephen Gardner how the F16 jets from Biden won't be of much use and could cause the US to send boots on the ground. Zelenskyy desperately needs to hold Bakhmut in order to prove he can beat Putin and Russia. How did General Surovikin of Russia take advantage of President Zelensky's belief that Bakhmut represented Ukrainian resistance to Russian military power?

Democrat Sam Berger defeated Republican David Hirsch in the 27th Assembly District that runs through central and northeastern Queen neighborhoods from parts of Forest Hills to Kew Garden Hills and from College Point to Whitestone.

A fugitive who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison just days after being sentenced to life without parole in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend was captured early Wednesday, Pennsylvania State Police said. Details on the capture have not yet been revealed. Police have scheduled a press conference for 9:30 a.m. The end of the 14-day manhunt for 34-year-old Danelo Cavalcante came as a relief to residents of Pocopson Township, Pennsylvania, who had been advised by officials to stay alert. Several schools within the area also briefly canceled classes amid the search for the convicted murderer. Officials said Tuesday that Cavalcante...

For the sake of Ukraine, Russia, and the world — we need immediate diplomacy, not reckless commitments to prolong the war in Ukraine forever. In the Maine Senate 10th Mar 2023, Eric Brakey call's out US and NATO propaganda of the corporate media and the Washington war machine.

Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russia-installed governor of Sevastopol, posted a photo of the fire on Telegram on Wednesday morning. "All emergency services are working on the site, there is no danger to civilian objects in the city," Razvozhayev said.

CNN’s Poppy Harlow interviewed New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) on Tuesday and cornered her, reading the New Mexico Constitution to her on-air and asking if her ban on concealed carry violates the Constitution. Harlow read from Article II, Section 6, of New Mexico’s Constitution, saying, “No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense…No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.” She then asked Grisham, “Are you not in violation of both the U.S. Constitution and your state’s...

"Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth" (Eph. 6:14). Truthfulness is the best defense against Satan’s lies. The first piece of armor Paul mentions in Ephesians 6:14 is the belt of truth. Roman soldiers of his day wore a tunic, which was a large square piece of material with holes for the head and arms. A belt kept the tunic from flying loosely and getting in the way in the midst of battle. The phrase "having girded your loins" was commonly used for gathering up the loose material of one's tunic or robe when preparing for battle or...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemJohn 13Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial 31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him,[c] God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once. 33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved...

A Ukrainian attack set the home of Russia's Black Sea Fleet ablaze on Wednesday, damaging two warships and injuring dozens of people, Russian authorities said. The incident appeared to be the latest in a growing wave of strikes against the Kremlin's navy, but also came as Moscow hit a key Ukrainian port city in the Odesa region with a drone attack. Sevastopol is the largest city on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula and the port serves as the main base of the Russian fleet, which has been used to launch attacks deep into Ukraine. The Russian defense ministry said Ukraine had...

The woes plaguing our government-run K-12 schools now show themselves on the college level. Classes, many of which are useless and often come with a far-left slant, have led to sinking confidence in our formerly esteemed universities. A recent Wall Street Journal-NORC poll reveals that most Americans don’t feel a college degree is worth the cost. The survey finds that 56% of Americans think earning a four-year degree is not worth the time and money involved, compared with just 42% who retain faith in the institution. Most importantly, the strongest skepticism is found in men and women between ages 18...

Biden’s White House is planning to send a letter to some of the country’s most prominent news organizations — including CNN, The New York Times, and Fox News — urging them to “ramp up their scrutiny” of House Republicans “for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ordered an impeachment inquiry into the president’s alleged involvement in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals on Tuesday. “Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings,” the speaker charged, claiming “these...

The Roosevelt Hotel claims that it’s the place “where classic elegance meets contemporary luxury”. Classic elegance and luxury at the midtown Manhattan hotel looks like busloads of migrant invaders arriving and camping outside the golden doors. The scene is no better inside where 41 migrants have been arrested for beating wives, girlfriends and significant others. There have also been assaults on employees and an arrest for child endangerment. While the Roosevelt Hotel may have an old name, Mayor Eric Adams and New York City actually leased it from Pakistan for $220 million. That amounts to paying $210 per room for...

A fawning Kim Jong Un today praised the 'heroic' Russian army's 'virtue and honour' on the front lines of Vladimir Putin's 'sacred struggle' in Ukraine as the two dictators met to discuss a sanctions-busting arms deal to support the invasion. In gushing praise for Putin's war, which has seen thousands of Ukrainians killed and entire neighbourhoods destroyed, Kim said he was 'certain' Moscow will win a 'great victory' against Ukraine. 'I am deeply convinced that the heroic Russian army and people will certainly win a great victory in the sacred struggle to punish the gathering of evil,' Kim said as...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN Primetime,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) refused to say whether or not New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) can use a public health emergency declaration to unilaterally change the state’s gun laws, but said “mayors and our governors have the hardest job in the world right now when it comes to gun violence” because “an extremist United States Supreme Court” has prevented them from enacting good policies like completely banning carrying guns. Host Abby Phillip asked, “New Mexico’s Governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, she’s issued this temporary order that bans both open and concealed...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby maintained that the U.S. isn’t paying Iran a ransom in the prisoner swap with the country, it’s just allowing Iran access to funds they couldn’t access before for “discreet, targeted purposes.” And said that the Biden administration is still holding Iran accountable for its treatment of its own citizens, attacks on shipping, support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and support of terrorists. Kirby said, “I think it’s important to remember, this is not U.S. taxpayer dollars, this is not ransom. These...
