Vice-Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa said Russian fleet had to relocate due to significant damage to Crimea base. Ukraine has huge success targeting the Black Sea Fleet with sea drones. Ukraine's sea drone and missile attacks have left Russia's Black Sea Fleet headquarters at Sevastopol effectively useless and forced many of its ships to relocate to other locations Vice-Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa told Reuters news agency that "almost all the main combat-ready ships have been moved by the enemy from the main base of the Black Sea Fleet" following significant damage to the Crimean base. "The ships are kept in Novorossiisk, and some...

• The United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently issued an unusually jarring warning, highlighting a development in Iran's nuclear program. IAEA inspectors confirmed that, for the first time, Iran has commenced the process of feeding uranium gas into three cascades of advanced IR-4 and IR-6 centrifuges at its Natanz enrichment facility. • By waiving sanctions on Iran, the Biden administration has effectively provided financial support amounting up to an estimated $100 billion to the mullahs. Worse, the Biden administration has turned a blind eye to Tehran's destabilizing and aggressive policies, both within the region and without. • Iran's...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Friday that President Biden’s campaign is “toast” after losing the media. “Democrats have a real problem, any Democrat has a real problem —if you lose the media, and Biden lost the media, overnight, after that debate,” Johnson said on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” to host Will Cain. “It’s pretty difficult because Democrats can lie, they can enact policies that are disastrous to this country, but as long as the media’s on their side covering up for ‘em, they can survive. “The minute they lose the media, they really are toast,” Johnson continued.

Harriet Hageman is on my personal short list of people I hope President Trump is considering for vice president. During a recent interview Hageman shows she is not going along with the pretending. Every word about Joe Biden and the length of time the issues have been visible is correct and accurate. “Who is running our country?” WATCH: The full interview is below: On “Forbes Newsroom,” Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) reacted to President Biden’s debate performance with alarm, slamming the press for its coverage of Biden, questioning who is running the U.S., and whether she supports invoking the 25th Amendment.

[Catholic Caucus] Thousands of Spanish Pilgrims to Be Denied Traditional Latin Mass at the Shrine of CovadongaThe Dicastery of Divine Worship notified the Archdiocese of Oviedo that the pilgrims of Nuestra Señora de la Cristiandad are forbidden, at the end of their pilgrimage, to celebrate the TLM in the great historic shrine of Covadonga, as they have peacefully and fervently done the past three years. Here are a couple of photos from last year, showing the large numbers, and the poster for 2024:Photo of last year's pilgrims in front of the shrineWorshiping in the shrine, as their forefathers had doneThis...

“The whole lot of the Kennedys were lady-killers, and they always got away with it,” baseball star Joe DiMaggio, who blamed the political dynasty for the death of his ex-wife, Marilyn Monroe, told his biographer. “They’ll be getting away with it a hundred years from now."

In an October 1903 article, the New York Times predicted it would take "one to ten million years" for man to develop a working "flying machine." We all know how that turned out. Sixty-nine days later, on Dec. 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made their historic first successful flight in the heavier-than-air Wright Flyer in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. The New York Times was wrong then, and they continue to be wrong about many important things. One of the most dangerous in recent years was the Russia collusion story, for which they were awarded a Pulitzer Prize. For...

As the belief that Joe Biden is fully equipped to be president dissolves like mist on a Delaware morning, some of his defenders have fallen back on the idea that the American presidency is not really a man but a team. “I would take Joe Biden on his worst day at age 86 — so long as he has people around him like Avril Haines, Samantha Power, Gina Raimondo supporting him — over Donald Trump any day,” a former homeland security secretary, Jeh Johnson, said on MSNBC a few days ago. Don’t think of this as the Biden presidency, in...

The CDC now says that one of the symptoms of bird flu is...NO SYMPTOMS. Moderna is now already developing an mRNA bird flu injection. The mainstream media is constant scare mongering. Here we go again...

…. All of the social changes pushed through by the far left over the past few decades, including expanded abortion, open celebration of exhibitionistic sexual fetishism, decriminalized drug use, weakening national militaries, turning a blind eye to street crime, and the constant propaganda drumbeat of political correctness (as they define it), have finally occasioned a Newtonian reaction, including here in the U.S. Despite their best efforts to criminalize him, Trump is not only leading in the polls but widening his lead as the Biden campaigned has hit a brick wall. The only question now is whether the Democrats — who...

Radio show host who interviewed President Biden Wednesday says that the White House sent her the questions before the interview

Germany is not the well-functioning, environmentally super-conscious, high-tech nation it used to be. You go to a train station, half the trains are cancelled, the other half is delayed, the escalators are broken, the announcements are barely audible, and in the unlikely event that you can connect to the wifi it’s so slow that by the time the news is streaming it’s become a historical documentary. Or maybe it’s quantum wifi, collapses the moment you touch it

... a congressional report has revealed that Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) deceived Congress over its plans to create a Frankenstein monkeypox virus ... ... this would be classified as gain-of-function, which is research that can result in deadlier and more transmissible viruses and is feared to be behind the creation of Covid....

Had a very evil thought.While its better to not pile on while the criminals tear each other over the pile of loot....Assuming somehow Biden does stay in the race as the nominee, maybe a pirate video can be made/discreetly distributed as a reminder of just what Biden is after the usual suspects calm down and circle the wagons in support of "their champion".Video challenge has a series of pictures/footage of Biden 'in action' like this foul stuff:With background music from one or both songs:Thank Heaven for Little Girls--Maurice ChevalierLittle Girls--Oingo Boingo

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has remained largely silent following his June 27 debate in which President Biden gave a halting performance – instead allowing fellow Democrats and the media to criticize or raise questions about Biden's age and mental acuity. In the days after the debate two House Democrats – Reps. Lloyd Doggett, of Texas, and Raúl Grijalva, of Arizona – have called for Biden to end his reelection bid, amid reports that donors are poised to stop contributing to the Biden campaign and Virginia Democrat Sen. Mark Warner is requesting a meeting with members of his conference...

Two Union soldiers from the American Civil War were posthumously awarded with the Medal of Honor by President Joe Biden on Wednesday, more than 160 years after being executed for their part in a daring mission against the Confederacy. “Private Philip G. Shadrach and Private George D. Wilson will receive the Medal of Honor posthumously for their gallantry and intrepidity while participating in a covert military operation 200 miles behind Confederate lines on April 12, 1862,” a White House official said Wednesday morning. “In one of the earliest special operations in US Army history, Union Soldiers dressed as civilians infiltrated...

Following a report that Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, is at odds with President Joe Biden's reelection bid, a novelist's cryptic post on Friday about the senator is raising eyebrows on social media.According to a Friday report by The Washington Post, Warner is attempting to assemble a group of his Democratic colleagues to ask Biden to conclude his presidential run. (snip) Following the report, author Don Winslow took to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday to post a cryptic message addressing Warner as he seemingly warned the senator if he wanted to "go down this road.""Dear @MarkWarner. Are you sure...

A fun poke at White Liberals.

Sen. John Fetterman doubled down in his support of President Biden after his ABC interview Friday, condemning efforts by his fellow Democrats to shove the octogenarian commander-in-chief out of the race. “Democrats need to get a spine or grow a set — one or the other. Joe Biden is our guy,” Fetterman said in a terse posting on X. The terse comment reiterated the Pennsylvania ragamuffin as a ride-or-die for Biden, even as a growing number of elected Democrats moved to abandon him after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump last week. “I’m unwilling to discard a great president, a...
