Wondering why Russian women's feminity is so complex? Subscribe to our channel - http://bit.ly/subscribe-russia-beyond Remember when Vladimir Putin AFFRONTED German Chancellor Angela Merkel with…a bouquet of flowers? This time Anna will explain why for Russian women receiving flowers isn’t a “sexist affront” and what we at Russia Beyond call a post-feminist country. We think that generally it’s incorrect to say that gender-related discrimination in Russia is a THING. And it’s not true to say that Russian women are housewives first, professionals - second. At present Russia ranks Second in the world for the number of female business owners. More than...

Since pulling the United States out of the controversial 2015 JCPOA, President Donald Trump has accused Iran of "supporting terrorist proxies and militias such as al-Qaeda." For years, the annual terrorism report has described Iran as "the state sponsor of terrorism," highlighting that "groups supported by Iran maintained its capability to destabilize the world peace and security." But despite the conclusions of a 2018 New America think-tank study that there is no evidence that Iran and al-Qaeda cooperated in carrying out terrorist attacks, according to an NCRI statement, IRGC brigadier general Saeed Ghassemi confessed for the first time on April...

Recently, NASA released its annual report on global temperatures and reported that 2018 was the fourth hottest year on record, surpassed only by three recent years. This claim was accompanied by dire predictions of climate change and for immediate action to dramatically curtail CO2 emissions around the globe.....But, a closer look at the data and methods used by NASA should make any reader skeptical of their results.....scientists around the world have been identifying (or constructing) ‘pristine’ weather monitoring stations to get a clearer look at temperature changes. These stations are located in areas where urban development has not occurred and...

The Campaign Update Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) [The week just past as chronicled on the @GDBlackmon Twitter feed.] The week began with sellout actor Robert DeNiro threatening Trump supporters that he’d never forget what we’ve done the last few years, whatever that means. Yeah, well, we’re never gonna forget he got paid $20 million for making “Dirty Grandpa” and “The Intern.”:

Money looking for a route out of Russia and into the European Union appears to have found a crack in the banking system. Tens of billions of dollars have been laundered through mostly Baltic nations, swamping the outposts of Nordic banks. It's been an ongoing headache for European authorities and regulators. Now, a different issue entirely has raised the anxiety levels in European capitals. Russia plans to move the headquarters of its development bank to Hungary. All told European authorities don't know the extent of the money-laundering problem. But a picture is emerging. Around one trillion dollars has been moved...

“Behold the Man: A God Who Rises” (John 20:1-18) Alleluia! Christ is risen! (He is risen indeed! Alleluia!) Behold the man who is risen, who died and now lives. His heart was stopped, but now it pulses with renewed rhythm and vigor. His blood was spilled on Golgotha, but now his veins course with a fresh supply. His lungs were stilled after that loud cry with which he breathed his last, but now the breath of life has returned. His eyes were shut in death, but now they are open and see the light of life. His hands had been...

First does the soul of a nation, then the buildings fall.

It’s too soon to either blame or rule out arson as the cause of the Notre-Dame Cathedral fire. I will wait for the forensics investigation. In the meantime, who is this person in this video? Given that they have not conducted an official forensics investigation yet, and given that such an investigation can take months, I don’t see how they can be saying for certain that the Notre-Dame Cathedral fire wasn’t arson.A live broadcast by a French TV station showed an unidentified person walking around, way up high in the building, after the fire started. This person is neither a construction...

The statistics are beginning to come out from the government about Week 23 of the Yellow Vests with 27,900 nationwide and 9000 in Paris protesting by their count. Its a count that's always lower than the Yellow Vests number. 31,000 the government put out last week with the Yellow Vests estimating just over 91,000 then. THE YELLOW VESTS ESTIMATE OF PROTESTERS TODAY IS 101,125. The holiday weekend not appearing to dim the numbers on the streets very much. Paris was designated as a center of protest this week with an "Ultimatum 2" to President Emmanuel Macron. The latest police stats...

I’m from Indiana, I’m gay as a — I don’t know, think of something really gay — that’s how gay I am,” he said in an interview. “I’m used to bullying,” Buttigieg replied. “I think you confront it, initially, and move on.” He said that as a presidential candidate he would focus on calling out Trump’s behavior but remain intent on changing the subject to his own agenda. Buttigieg quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. saying that “darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that.”

Now that the lengthy and expensive Mueller investigation has failed to find any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) still defends the original Obama Administration decision to initiate a covert surveillance of the Trump campaign. “I know a lot of people think it was wrong for a sitting president to use federal government resources to spy on an opposing political party,” Swalwell acknowledged. “But President Obama swore an oath to protect this country from all enemies—both foreign and domestic. Since Trump is an outsider who has not come up through the ranks...

VIDEO Anderson Cooper tries to drown out White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley while discussing the Mueller Report by overtalking him.

Socially conservative former Rep. Aaron Schock, R- Ill., was reportedly photographed at a music festival making out with another man. During his tenure in Congress, the 37-year-old Schock voted against the repeal of "don’t ask, don’t tell" and voted in favor of adding a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. He received a zero rating from the Human Rights Campaign for his voting record. Despite his socially conservative political career, Schock, who now lives in West Hollywood, was purportedly photographed with a group of gay men at California's famed Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, according to Metro Weekly, an LGBT-focused...

Dear Freepers, of your charity please pray for my nephew Jak. He is dangerously ill after complications arising from appendicitus. Please also pray for his mother and sisters, who (as you can imagine) are terribly worried. warm regards, Agere Contra

I've tracked this guy (whose name I do not know) for some time and sent some of his stuff around before. This one is serious FOOD FOR THOUGHT on the difference between "statist" (a term I have used in the past and will begin to use more in the future for members of BOTH parties) and "anarchist" (a favorite scare word of the power hungry, statist control freaks in our midst). A few years ago, it was proposed that our area of the county should become another political subdivision to, you know, assure better, closer-to-the-people GOVERNMENT!  I campaigned AGAINST it...

Here's a new theory: The Democrats are going SO over the top in their response that they are TRYING to get the people sick of this before the backlash starts. The correct response it see this witch hunt for what it was- a 2 year waste of money - and now search for the people who started it all. Crimes were committed in the FISA Court, by the HlLIARy campaign, and by the Obama White house. They DO NOT WANT anyone looking into those. So they put the most unattractive people out in front (Jerry Nadler) and say the stupidest...

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 KJV Most of the political observers in the world suspected Mulehead was just another political hack and now we know. There was no objectivity or blind justice in his report it was nothing but a DNC report on why he hates Trump. It could have just as easily been written by CNN or MSDNC in its...

Was it ever going to matter to the Resistance what the Mueller Report actually said? Of course not. No corruption, no obstruction doesn’t mean what you think it means, it means what the Progressive agenda needs it to mean. Hence the inquisition will not end until their morale improves.So what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Unstoppable ForceImmovable Object, ‘Fat Jerry’ Technically this paradoxical question applies to any conflict between two opposite, abstractly defined extremes but for our purposes let’s just say it’s between good and evil. Go with Fat Jerry – the D-ouble Cheeseburger who called the...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Situational outrage, by Mitt Romney. – Mitt Romney still thinks he can become president. That fact was obvious throughout his 2018 senatorial campaign, and it is obvious in ever public statement he’s made since buying that Utah senate seat. He didn’t come to the senate to represent the interests of the people of Utah; he came there for pure self-aggrandizement purposes. He’s there solely to undermine President Donald Trump, and see if he can somehow work with Bill Kristol and the few dozen remaining #NeverTrump fake Republicans to weasel his way into...
