Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not let up on his criticism of NATO and told 60 Minutes in an interview that aired Sunday that he is “no longer interested” in the military alliance’s diplomacy. “When you’re working in diplomacy, there are no results. All of this is very bureaucratic,” Zelensky said when asked about recent harsh comments about NATO. “That’s why the way I am talking to them is absolutely justified. I don’t have any more lives to give. I don’t have any more emotions. I’m no longer interested in their diplomacy that leads to the destruction of my country.”Screenshot/Image...

Actor Sean Penn tells 'Hannity' 'it's clear to me Ukrainians will win this; the question is at what cost'.

As more of the content from Hunter Biden's lost laptop becomes public knowledge the contention that President Biden was intimately involved in his son's dubious business dealings seems hard to refute. The references to "the big guy's cut" of the profits and the numerous photos of Joe's beaming smile while standing next to Hunter and his business partners would seem to demolish the notion that his claim that "I've never talked to my son about his business dealings, not once" cannot be true. Then there's the millions of dollars in income reported in his latest filing with the IRS. How...

About three weeks before the 2020 election, the New York Post published a bombshell, election-changing story about presidential candidate Joe Biden's son, Hunter, that, if true, derailed Joe Biden's claim to know nothing about his son's multimillion-dollar influence peddling. The Post claimed: "Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post. "The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that...

President Biden and the White House have repeatedly denied that he and Hunter Biden ever discussed the first son’s controversial overseas business dealings — yet there are at least a dozen times when Joe Biden had to know what his son was doing.

Even a truncated Russian Federation has four times the pre-war population of Ukraine. It enjoys well over 10 times the Ukrainian gross domestic product. Russia covers almost 30 times Ukraine's area. And how does Ukraine expel Russian troops from its borders when its Western allies must put particular restrictions on their life-giving military and financial aid? The interests of Europe and the United States are not quite the same as those of a beleaguered Ukraine. NATO also wants Russian President Vladimir Putin humiliated, but only if the war can be confined within the borders of Ukraine. Even a truncated Russian...

President Joe Biden has consistently struggled with anger outbursts when peppered with unwanted questions — especially questions about the Biden family corruption. All throughout the presidential campaign and into his presidency, Biden has consistently used anger in an attempt to dispel questions he does not want to answer. According the Republican National Committee’s research team on Monday, Biden has leveraged his defensive anger at least five times when questioned about his family’s business dealings.

Multiple 2016 and 2017 emails from Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner Eric Schwerin .. raise new questions about a claim made by Biden's attorney regarding Biden's divestiture in a technology-focused fund. Leaked Treasury Department records obtained as part of the FinCen Files revealed that Hares Youssef, a Ukrainian-Syrian businessman with alleged ties to Russian organized crime, paid mbloom — a now-defunct technology startup fund backed by Hawaii’s Strategic State Development Corporation and Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP) — nearly $3 million. ... The transaction was flagged via a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) by the City National Bank in Los Angeles...

This week, the Biden administration revealed that it will release as much as 180 million barrels of crude oil in a bid to calm oil prices, which have remained above $100 per barrel for an extended period of time. The International Energy Agency, meanwhile, is coordinating a smaller but international reserve release of some 60 million barrels and has called an emergency meeting to discuss how exactly to go about it. It remains unclear whether part of the 180 SPR release in the United States will be a completely separate endeavor or if some of these barrels will be part...

Ukraine must be sent more heavy weapons to help kick Russian soldiers out of the country, Liz Truss said today amid a row between allies over whether to supply tanks. The Foreign Secretary used a Warsaw press conference alongside her Ukrainian counterpart to say Kyiv should be given even more weapons of the type' demanded by President Volodymyr Zelensky. He has made no secret of his desire for Nato nations and others to supply heavy armour in the wake of civilian massacres in places like Bucha. Boris Johnson and others are understood to be discussing whether tanks can be supplied...

How One Ukrainian Billionaire Funded Hunter Biden, President Volodymyr Zelensky, And The Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion Is this why Hunter Biden's laptop talks about "Children Burned Alive" in Ukraine? Kolomoysky Owns Burisma Holdings The real person who was the benefactor to, and the boss of, Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, was not the CEO of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, but it was instead Ihor Kolomoysky, who was part of the newly installed Ukrainian Government, which the Obama Administration itself had actually just installed in Ukraine, in what the head of the “private...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that the Republican Party was the “non-eduction” party because of GOP legislation addressing Critical Race Theory. While discussing a New York Times article on Critical Race Theory, co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “I think if you’re saying we shouldn’t be talking about — any time somebody says you shouldn’t be talking about this, I want to know why not? Why shouldn’t people be aware there’s something out there that may or may not relate to race?”

These scandals are no longer just about Hunter Biden. They are about now-President Joe Biden, and we need answers. Last week, The New York Times quietly acknowledged that the emails recovered from the MacBook Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware computer store were authentic. The admission came nearly a year-and-a-half late, after the corrupt media — legacy and social — buried the scandal the New York Post broke just weeks before the November election. Merely admitting the laptop is legitimate is not enough. Rather, by concurring in the authenticity of the laptop and the emails, the supposed standard-bearers of journalism...

Hopefully by now everyone is well aware how the U.S. State Department has been manipulating the internal politics of Ukraine for well over a decade. A recent statement, by current Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, puts the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion into greater clarity...

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that former President Donald Trump used Ukraine like a “political poker chip.” Anchor Chuck Todd said, “One of the first times you and I talked publicly about Ukraine was during the first President Trump impeachment. One of your traveling companions frequently was Ron Johnson, and he said something interesting this week that I wanted to get your reaction to. He said, ‘I personally think if Trump had met with Zelensky, never made the phone call, I think the two of them would have hit it out beautifully, and none...
