EU Economic Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni has claimed that the Group of Seven (G7) will release $50 billion in frozen Russian assets to Ukraine by October. These leaders agreed at the last meeting on June 13 that they would indeed take the money they confiscated from Russia and provide it to Ukraine in terms of a loan. They stipulate this by saying they will only loan Ukraine money made on the profits of holding these assets. The risk will be shared among the G7 nations, and this risk is substantial, for Ukraine will no longer exist as a nation when this...

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday that there is “zero chance” President Joe Biden can impose term limits on Supreme Court justices. Biden is focusing on implementing Supreme Court reform, including term limits and an ethics code, as his presidency comes to a close, according to a White House fact sheet published on Monday. Jarrett said on “Fox & Friends” that Biden’s proposed reforms are “unconstitutional” and the president is only pushing them for reforms for electoral reasons. WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK..............

There’s no other way to put it. Venezuela’s socialist president Nicolás Maduro has used his government-controlled electoral authority to “win” reelection. Discrepancies between the exit polls and the “official” results are too great to attribute to margin of error. Exit polls (Edison Research, WSJ): Opposition leader González: 65% Socialist dictator Maduro: 31% Results from the Election Council: Socialist dictator Maduro: 51.2% Opposition leader González: 44.2% Maduro exit polls showed he lost by 34-points but the “official” Election Council results show he “won” by 7-points. That didn’t happen. Reactions on social media are coming in. According to The Guardian: After a...

J.D. Lott and his wife Britney were eating lunch with their eight kids on April 30 when he missed a call on his cellphone. The family was three years into a cross-country, home-schooling, Instagram-documented road trip in a bus they refashioned into an RV. A day earlier they had been staying at a Florida campground. The next day, they were in Georgia on their way to meet friends—or so they thought. Half an hour later, the missed caller sent a text saying that they were from the Department of Children and Families (DCF) in Florida. It continued: "Please respond we...

Many Americans feel that the country has become unrecognizable due to decades of globalization and a technological revolution that has eroded middle-class livelihoods and deepened social divides. Half the country thinks something has gone drastically wrong in America, to the point that it is rapidly becoming unrecognizable. Millions feel they are virtual lab rats in some grand research project conducted by entitled elites who could care less when the experiment blows up. Consider: Our military turns over $60 billion in state-of-the-art weapons to terrorists in Kabul and then flees in disgrace? Terrorist flags fly in place of incinerated Old Glory...

Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro was declared the "winner" of the presidential election by the nation's election council on Monday morning.

Two top House security aides under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi got stark warnings from police the night before the Jan. 6 riots that protesters might try to breach the U.S. Capitol through its tunnel systems and block lawmakers from voting to certify Joe Biden's presidential election win, according to newly obtained memos and text messages. The documents obtained by Just the News also confirm that Pelosi's team played a role in the botched security planning for that fateful day. "We have identified numerous open source comments indicating groups intentions of finding the tunnel entrances and confronting/blocking the MOCs (Members of Congress),"...

A key Google feature is failing to show results for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump — drawing claims from the former president’s son that Big Tech companies are trying to influence the election. It has also sparked a Senate investigation. Google users were surprised to discover that the search engine’s “Autocomplete” was apparently omitting suggested results related to the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. The anomaly quickly caught the attention of social media users, including a Texas congressman and Donald Trump Jr., who began sharing screenshots of their own examples showing Google search suggestions coming up empty for queries...

Researchers have developed a new class of synthetic antibiotics called macrolones that target both protein production and DNA structure in bacteria, making it exceedingly difficult for bacteria to develop resistance. Their research shows that by disrupting two cellular targets simultaneously, macrolones could significantly impede the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria. ============================================================== A groundbreaking study from the University of Illinois Chicago unveils macrolones, a new type of antibiotic that targets bacteria in two ways, drastically reducing the potential for resistance and marking a significant step forward in infectious disease treatment. A newly discovered antibiotic, which targets two different cellular mechanisms, could make...

Schumer simply refused to repeat the cordial gesture in public. Viewers watching Netanyahu’s address noted that Schumer pointedly refused to shake Netanyahu’s hand as he walked down the aisle of the House chamber toward the podium.

Well, we finally have a White House response to the Paris show. Someone liked it and her name is Jill: First lady Jill Biden had high praise for the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics this weekend, despite widespread criticism that the performance mocked the Last Supper. Biden led the U.S. delegation to the Olympics and called the opening ceremony "spectacular." Despite the festivity, heavy rain drenched the athletes from all nations as they paraded down the river Siene on boats. Biden remarked that the U.S. would have to work hard to top Paris' opening ceremony when the games are...

The Last Supper — Leonardo Da Vinci — Photo by: (www.wikipedia.org) ================================================================================ The Last Supper (Il cenacolo) is the famous fresco that Leonardo da Vinci painted between 1495 and 1497.

A Fresno small restaurant owner says he has had enough after his PG&E bill was nearly double his rent. Manuel Perales, the owner of Yosemite Falls Cafe says his June utility bill was nearly $21,000. His rent? $10,000. “How do you pay that bill?" he said. He says it doesn't make sense to receive that astronomical bill even during the hottest months of the year.

Making clear he was alarmed at Trump returning to office, he wrote: “If a future president incites a violent mob to storm the Capitol and stop the peaceful transfer of power — like we saw on Jan. 6, 2021 — there may be no legal consequences.” In addition to his so-called No One Is Above The Law Amendment, Biden proposed term limits for Supreme Court justices, advocating for the president to be able to appoint a new justice every two years to spend 18 years in active service on the high court.

By February of this year, Joe Biden was already so cognitively impaired that nearly four-in-five Americans had revealed to pollsters that he was just too old to run for president again. Biden was already beginning to drown in polls against his opponent on nearly every issue that is important to Americans by double digits, including a massive 35% deficit on the vital issue of border security and controlling illegal immigration. For many of us, it was obvious that Biden wouldn’t make it to November. It can’t be Biden on the top of the ticket in 2024, I argued back then....

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty has secured repeal of the unconstitutional law banning possession of firearms near almost all waters in Wisconsin.In 1999, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) created a rule banning the possession of firearms near “waters, banks or shores that might be used for the purpose of fishing.” The regulation was created with virtually no oversight shortly after Wisconsin passed Section 25, Wisconsin’s constitutional protection for the right to keep and bear arms. The regulation was seldom, if ever, enforced.Due to a quirk in Wisconsin statutes, no one had to be arrested to challenge...

A new poll from The Wall Street Journal has found Vice President Kamala Harris neck and neck with Donald Trump after President Biden vacated the Democratic nomination for November’s election."Only 37% of Biden voters were enthusiastic about him in early July, and now 81% of Harris voters are enthusiastic about her," Democratic pollster Mike Bocian, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster David Lee, told the Journal.
