On Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported that conservative activist Christopher Rufo had been invited to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Donald Trump‘s [team] and present them “with a plan to geld American universities by withholding money if they don’t pull back on diversity measures.” On Monday night, Rufo joined Fox News’ Jesse Watters to talk about said plan. “So you were very effective working with DeSantis in Florida in ripping CRT and DEI out of the education ecosystem.

Desertion is starving the Ukrainian army of desperately needed manpower and crippling its battle plans at a crucial time in its war with Russia, which could put Kyiv at a clear disadvantage in future ceasefire talks. Facing every imaginable shortage, tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops, tired and bereft, have walked away from combat and front-line positions to slide into anonymity, according to soldiers, lawyers and Ukrainian officials. Entire units have abandoned their posts, leaving defensive lines vulnerable and accelerating territorial losses, according to military commanders and soldiers. Some take medical leave and never return, haunted by the traumas of...

In the streets of Bangladesh, Muslim mobs openly chant for the slaughter of Hindus, targeting the peaceful followers of the Hindu faith. Their chilling slogans include, “There will be no place for ISKCON here” and “We will peel off the skins of ISKCON devotees.”... These aren’t just threats—they’re calls for genocide. ISKCON devotees, a branch of Hinduism rooted in spiritual devotion and non-violence, are being hunted simply for their beliefs. Temples are desecrated, Hindu boys are lynched in broad daylight, and Hindu spiritual leaders are imprisoned on fabricated charges while terrorists roam free. This is not random violence; it is...

@goddeketal The more I dug into @GretaThunberg's story, the more I realized that something stinks here. It's no COINCIDENCE that her first appearance was on August 20, 2018, with a sit-in protest in front of the Swedish Parliament, followed COINCIDENTALLY four days later by the release of a book she co-authored with her mother. But that's not all - the PR machine for her was already in full swing on August 20, thanks to a man named Ingmar Rentzhog, who financed and drove the campaign through his company, @WeDontHaveTime. And guess what? Rentzhog is also COINCIDENTALLY the chairman of the...

During an appearance in Kazakhstan today, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a press conference with Russian journalists who asked questions about the current conflict with Ukraine. Before getting to the video, it is worth mentioning that our western viewpoint of Russia respecting strength; is not entirely accurate. There is something Russians respect more than strength, brutal honesty. One of the things that separates Russians from their eastern European counterparts, is their keen ability to detect and dismiss bullshit. If you watch Russian engagement, from either inside or outside of Russia, their non pretending is truly an artform. Even the silent...
