The US seems to have backed off of the claim that they are going to invade Crimea. Apparently, there are new victory terms, but they are a secret. After the fake 2024 election, the government will claim it has a mandate to start World War III against Russia. This is probably something people should be preparing for. Fun fact: Trump says it’s not our problem and a border dispute in the former USSR doesn’t matter. In fact, we know it doesn’t matter, because another border dispute in the former USSR was solved last week in the most brutal and inhume...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had positive things to say today about Scalise and Jordan when asked about their respective speaker bids, but he stopped short of saying who he would prefer to see in the top House post. "I know both of those guys," DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, said of his former House colleagues. "They’re both good guys." In his remarks to reporters at an event in Greenville, South Carolina, DeSantis spoke in broad terms about what the next speaker needs to do. "You can’t just say, continue business as usual. You got to be somebody that understands we...

[AG] Merrick B. Garland is the public face of the government’s unprecedented effort to identify, arrest, and prosecute those connected to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest at the Capitol. But the person handling the day-to-day management of the one of the largest and most politically freighted efforts in the history of American law enforcement has largely flown under the radar: Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for [DC]. [snip] The political nature of the [Jan6] prosecutions is illustrated by the long partisan history of Graves and his wife, Fatima Goss Graves. According to documents on file with the U.S. Senate, Matthew...

A 'drunk' woman who hurled xenophobic abuse at a group of German tourists on a New York train has been revealed as a high-flying recruitment specialist in Manhattan. Brianna Pinnix, 30, from New York, works as a senior talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, specializing in technology recruiting, according to her now-deleted LinkedIn page. Pinnix was caught on video screaming at a group of German tourists on a New Jersey Transit train earlier this week. During the confrontation, Pinnix is seen becoming increasingly aggressive towards the group of young travelers before shouting 'lets not let immigrants take up our country...how...

Can Men Actually Experience Pregnancy Symptoms? Since men can’t become pregnant, it’s natural to wonder whether men can actually have pregnancy symptoms, such as morning sickness, and if so, why do men get pregnancy symptoms?

ESPN just can’t help itself. It has to produce content about racism. What’s interesting about this latest project — starring noted race-hustler Ibram Kendi and featuring perpetual victim Jemele Hill — is that the network kept it pretty quiet. ESPN promotes EVERYTHING it does. It even makes Joe Buck implore Monday Night Football viewers to change the channel to a different version of Monday Night Football. Yet, I had heard nothing about this ESPN+ series, titled “Skin in the Game.” Apparently, it premiered Sept. 20, nearly two weeks ago. All five episodes are available on ESPN’s streaming platform. According to...

As the Biden family’s corruption scandals tumble out into the open, corporate media badly want you to think the only story here is about Hunter Biden, a struggling drug addict who may have made some unwise decisions while grieving the loss of his brother. The more evidence — from whistleblower testimony to documentation — of President Joe Biden’s involvement arises, the more frantically they shout “no evidence!” and insist the elder Biden was only involved to the extent that he loves his son and talks with his wealthy foreign friends about the weather. But setting aside the evidence of Joe...

After a year and a half of war, Ukraine’s leaders now have a new reason to worry: Mounting political chaos in America is threatening to derail their supply of money and weapons. Days after lawmakers shelved a vital U.S. plan to send billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted by his own Republican Party colleagues. Aid to Ukraine was named as one of the reasons. In Kyiv, officials are at a loss as to what might happen next. Their staunchest military ally suddenly looks unreliable, despite assurances from President Biden and others the...

Donald Trump is on trial in a civil case for allegedly fraudulently inflating the value of his assets. It's is a victimless crime. Trump took out the loans and paid them back. There were no complaints from bankers. The election denier James put Donald Trump in her sights as part of her campaign for Attorney General of New York in 2018, making several unsubstantiated claims in her boastful post. James' goal is to cripple the Trumps' ability to conduct business in New York and suck him out of $250 million. In 2018, Letitia James vowed to use the law as...

U.S. — An emergency alert message was errantly sent to over 330 million phones today after President Biden accidentally hit the wrong button reaching for his Life Alert. President Biden reportedly tripped while excitedly scurrying to the dining room for his mid-morning oatmeal, and found himself unable to get up. In a vain attempt to activate Life Alert, Mr. Biden initiated the National Emergency Alert System, triggering a message to 330 million phones. Sadly, none of those included 9-1-1 operators or Life Alert itself. Despite physical therapy and forcing him to only wear sneakers, Mr. Biden's persistent falls necessitated the...

I would appreciate any advise or any ideas to help a young loved one who is suffering terribly with ulcerative colitis. The only relief thus far is from prednisone, which comes with other problems. Prayers please! Thank you in advance.

In the clash of the two Florida men, former president Donald Trump is beating Ron DeSantis by 35 percentage points, according to a new poll of Republican presidential primary voters that underscores the challenges the governor’s faces in his home state and the early states.“Where DeSantis has been governor and the people know him best, he still can’t beat Trump. And if DeSantis can’t win in his own backyard, where can he win?” asked top Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, who conducted the survey for a private political client. Fabrizio also surveys for the pro-Trump super PAC, but other pollsters say...
