CONCERN has mounted over Russia’s central bank governor after she suddenly cancelled an appearance at an exhibition without explanation. It comes amid circulating rumours that Elvira Nabiullina, 60, has undergone an unspecified surgery at the Kremlin. Russia's central bank has declined to comment on the rumours, Reuters reported. The Kremlin has also refused to comment on the surgery rumours, appearing annoyed at the question. “I do not consider this question appropriate at our conference call,” Putin’s spokesman told journalists today. "This is absolutely personal information about health and we have neither the scope nor the desire to comment on it."

The overall message of Iran is that it will continue to carry out attacks where it pleases. Iran doubled down on its decision to launch attacks against Iraq and Pakistan over the last few days. Iran’s Ministry of Defense said Iran has a right to protect itself, claiming the attacks were defensive. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also continued to claim it was targeting “Zionists” and also “ISIS” in its attacks. The autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq has rejected Iran’s claims and has highlighted the fact Iran killed civilians in its attacks. The overall message of Iran is that it...

The United States has claimed that the air strikes against Houthi military sites in Yemen are not related to the war in Gaza, and are not meant to escalate the regional confrontation with Iran. This should be seen as mere diplo-speak, because not every member of the 22-nation coalition put together by Washington to protect shipping in the Red Sea is on board with shifting from defensive to offensive operations (though most are). The Houthis are explicit in their declarations that they have been attacking both shipping and Israel in support of Hamas, who stated this round of war with...

“Walk . . . with all . . . gentleness” (Ephesians 4:1-2). The antidote to our vengeful, violent society is biblical gentleness. A popular bumper sticker says, “Don’t Get Mad—Get Even.” People demand what they perceive to be their rights, no matter how the demand harms others. Some go to court to squeeze every last cent out of those who hurt them. More and more violent crimes are committed each year. We need a strong dose of biblical truth to cure these attitudes. The biblical solution is gentleness. The world might interpret gentleness or meekness as cowardice, timidity, or lack...

South African politician Julius Malema, the president of the Economic Freedom Fighters party, said in a speech delivered at an October 23, 2023 protest outside the Israeli embassy in Pretoria and aired on SABC News (South Africa) that there is nothing wrong with what Hamas did. He said that there is no difference between Nelson Mandela and other anti-Apartheid activists and Hamas, as they all took up guns to fight for their people. Malema said that when people are oppressed, they must stand up for their freedom, and “shoot to kill,” not kiss their enemy. He vowed that when his...

There’s a new COVID variant that China has been tweaking in the lab, and it’s unbelievable. It was tested on mice and had a 100 percent mortality rate. Dubbed the ‘brain virus,' Chinese scientists are paving the way for another global pandemic if this escapes their labs again. The study involved a “cousin” strain of the coronavirus, which was mutated and then administered to humanized mice; all died within eight days. The study does not say how this could impact humans, but the research has been heavily criticized as pointless, dangerous, and veering into absolute madness (via NY Post): In...

The Biden strategy has been clear from the beginning… separate us all into warring factions, and try to unite us all against one common enemy. The reason he has been shamelessly pushing DEI (or, if you prefer, ‘DIE’) programs was all about positioning himself as the hero standing up against the Big Bad Republicans in defense of minority interests. We’re all supposed to ignore the fact that these programs are in direct conflict with the Constitution. He’s saving the world from institutional racism, dontcha know? The problem is, there is a world of difference between a candidate pledging what he...

Too many people think that sitting and fretting is doing something, but there is so much more most of us can do. Here's some inspiration for you. America First Patriots must be involved and active if we are going to save our country from a loud minority that seeks to move the United States toward Marxism. “Active” means more than posting comments on Facebook, X, or Truth Social. It’s picking a course of action, getting off your tuchas, and doing something. Anything! There are numerous ways Patriots can help to keep the United States a constitutional republic. Here are four...

WASHINGTON – He put the “secret” in “secretary.” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin took great pains to keep quiet his Jan. 1 medical emergency that landed him in the hospital for two weeks, with an aide asking 911 operators to have an ambulance pick the 70-year-old up without turning on its lights and sirens. “Can I ask – can the ambulance not show up with lights and sirens?” the staffer said in the recording, first obtained by The Daily Beast, adding: “Um, we’re trying to remain a little subtle.” The dispatcher agreed to pass on the message, noting that “usually when...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has acknowledged the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop data for the first time in a new court filing. In a Tuesday court filing from DOJ prosecutors, which came in response to Biden’s request to have his federal firearm charges dismissed, investigators acknowledge the legitimacy of data found on Biden’s laptop prior to the 2020 election. The court filings described how IRS and FBI investigators had obtained a search warrant for tax violations on Biden, leading them to “various” backup data accounts. The documents additionally note that investigators later came into “possession” of the laptop...

Former 2020 Biden campaign advisor Symone Sanders-Townsend called on Joe Biden 024 campaign to drop the “Bidenomics” message. “They are not going to get ‘Bidenomics.’ Let it go,” Sanders-Townsend told Politico. “How about you just make sure they know what you’re going to do and what you did?” “You can give folks all the numbers about GDP and all these other things, but the data doesn’t move people. Stories move people,” she added. Sanders-Townsend claimed that voters haven’t seen Biden “do what he can do best,” such as taking questions from voters in a town hall setting. However, she failed...

President Joe Biden trails former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head rematch in Georgia, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll of registered voters that shows the Republican with a solid 45% to 37% lead over the Democratic incumbent. The poll showed nearly 20% of Georgians weren’t ready to support either candidate as the presidential race shifts from Iowa after Trump’s dominant victory Monday in the first nominating contest of the 2024 election cycle. Biden is hurt by soft support among many Democratic and independent voters who were crucial to his narrow 2020 victory over Trump in Georgia, including 10% of...
