Nov 20, 2024. Bernie Sanders, who pushed the anti-Israel bill to block arms sale, to MSNBC, among his tirade, he complained about "bombing schools." Is Sanders saying that schools are functioning in Gaza at the war? Or is he denying that Hamas / PIJ uses schools? It's just a pallyood type to make a false link between targeting terrorists and kids.

Vladimir Putin has allegedly unleashed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) on Ukraine – for the first time during the more than 1,000 days of his war – in a message to the West. This morning’s attack from Russia’s southern Astrakhan region comes 24 hours after Ukraine deployed US and British missiles on targets inside Russia. Footage circulating on Telegram channels shows the strike on the central-eastern city of Dnipro, starting at around 5am local time. If confirmed, the hit would serve as a chilling reminder of Russia’s nuclear capability. It was also just two days ago that Putin signed a revised...

In what must be the millionth time never-Trumpers have predicted this, New York Times columnist David French claimed this week, pointing to appointments he doesn’t like, “Donald Trump is already starting to fail.” But what really worries people like French and those on the left isn’t that Trump will fail. It’s that he’s off to an outstanding start and has the wind as his back to succeed. And by that, we don’t mean he will live up to the left’s gross mischaracterization of Trump as a fascist, but that he will actually do what he’s promised: gut the administrative state,...

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant for supposed war crimes committed in Gaza. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, who faces sexual misconduct allegations, brought the application for the warrants earlier this year, along with applications for warrants against Palestinian terrorists, all of whom have since been killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

This is the moment a senior Kremlin official was urgently ordered not to comment on reports of an intercontinental ballistic missile strike on Ukraine this morning as she gave a press conference on the prospect of peace negotiations. Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian foreign ministry, took a call in the middle of a press briefing today and was sternly advised by a senior diplomat not to discuss the unconfirmed reports. 'Hello. I am having a briefing,' she could be heard saying into the phone on footage shared from the conference. 'Masha,' an unknown male voice on the phone said,...

TYRANT Vladimir Putin has mysteriously disappeared for 13 days as rumours about his apparent ill-health swirl. Suspicions have risen after the Kremlin was accused of pumping out several pre-recorded meetings with Putin and various Russian leaders since his last public appearance. The tyrant’s last definitive appearance was at the Valdai Forum in Sochi on 7 November. Putin has reportedly disappeared since then for medical reasons, according to the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, which has security service links. The channel said: “Indeed, Putin has been absent from work recently and receives all reports exclusively via special communications.” “Those close to him are...

The Trump counterrevolution challenges entrenched elites, bureaucracies, and progressive ideologies in favor of restoring traditional values, government accountability, and national identity. We are witnessing a historic counterrevolution after Trump’s victory, far different from his first election in 2016. The orthodox and the supposed scripted future are now suspect. And they are likely to be dethroned—from the trivial to the existential. Critics claim Trump has no mandate to stage such a counterrevolution. They argue that he did not win 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a Reaganesque landslide in the Electoral College. Yet all the initiatives he advanced and...

Athletic department school officials allegedly forced the...

President Trump’s victory was freedom’s triumph. In the background of everything I write is a recurring message: human freedom is invaluable, and we must fight for it daily. We are not “biological programs” or “redundant machines,” as the techno-fascists at the World Economic Forum would describe us. We are not “useless eaters” whose mere presence threatens the planet. We are unique individuals made in the image of God. We are meant to make choices, learn valuable lessons, struggle through hardship, overcome adversity, and persevere. We are meant to live, have children, protect our families, and pass what wisdom we gain...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, became upset during a House hearing on Wednesday, which led her to rant about how white men were never oppressed in the United States. During a House Oversight Committee hearing about the “Dismantle DEI Act”, which seeks to weaken diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, Crockett responded to a Republican colleague championing the bill as a “strong response to the oppression of our rights, liberties and freedoms.” Crockett strongly objected to the Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., using the word “oppression.” “You consistently said over and over the word ‘oppression,’ and every time that you said it, it...

Aaron Rodgers will not be following in the footsteps of fellow great NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, a source has revealed. Despite nearing his 41st birthday, Rodgers has been adamant over the past year that he has one or two more seasons in the NFL left in him. However, with his fate in New York shrouded in doubt, the NFL veteran is said to already be considering his future after hanging up his cleats. But unlike the likes of Manning, who co-hosts ESPN's Monday Night Football alternative broadcast with brother Eli, or Brady, who is in his rookie...

The news that the homes of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were burglarized last month was weird. The latest wrinkle in the situation is even weirder. According to NBC News, the FBI is investigating whether the incidents were part of a “transnational crime ring, such as one from South America.” The article mentions two other recent burglaries, targeting Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr., whose house was robbed while he attended a Vikings game in September. Medina, Minnesota police told NBC News that, as part of the Conley case, it...
