For example, I'm reading a thread and see a post that would be useful info to another thread. Rather than copying and pasting the entire post, how do I create a link for only that post? I know how to create a link for the entire thread, but not for a single post. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When the Siege of Avdiivka started, I wrote that, according to what we learned about the similar sieges of Mariupol and Bakhmut, we could expect three things: First of all – advances will probably be slow. The second important lesson from past sieges in this war has to do with the coverage by the MSM. All the time, it is stressed in their how horribly failing the Russians are, how they don’t have a chance, while papers sing praises for the impenetrable Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, the Russians will be losing the war in the headlines but winning in the ground,...

Former First Daughter Sasha Obama was spotted smoking a cigarette with friends while donning a skimpy bikini at a Labor Day party in Los Angeles on Monday - days after her dad, Barack Obama, became embroiled in a scandal over claims made by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the former President had been involved in relationships with men. The recent University of Southern California graduate, 22, certainly appeared to be enjoying the federal holiday. Photographers caught the youngest daughter of former President Barack taking some puffs from a lit cigarette as she stood on the street with her...

The White House announced Monday evening that Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 while on vacation in Delaware and is “experiencing only mild symptoms.” Jill Biden is double-vaxxed and twice boosted. Jill previously tested positive in August 2022 and again that month in a rebound case after treatment with Paxlovid. Jill’s case comes as a new wave of COVID hysteria has started with the emergence of a new variant (Pirola). A follow-up statement by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Joe Biden tested negative for COVID Monday evening. The Bidens were on vacation this weekend in Rehoboth, Delaware....

The Pentagon announced Thursday it is ready to train Ukrainian aircrew to fly F-16 fighter jets at a National Guard base in Arizona as soon as this October. The U.S. last week cleared other nations to donate the American made jets to Ukraine – despite initial fears the move may antagonize Moscow. Several countries including the Netherlands and Denmark quickly responded and the Pentagon has indicated it will train the aircrew to enable the Ukraine to take the sophisticated warplanes into combat with Russia. NATO-member Norway has also indicated it is ready to join the program. Secretary of State Antony...

Does anyone know a reputable Canadian Pharmacy? My eye drops are now almost $200 for a month's supply, and that's for the generic and if I use GoodRX. I've been researching several: Blue Sky Drugs, Canadian Pharmacy King, Canada Drugs Online, Canada Pharmacy Depot, Canada Online Health, Price Pro Pharmacy and Northwest Pharmacy. Do you have any recommendations?

“The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 31 vehicles in the battle for the village of Staromayorsk alone, including 23 mine-protected armored vehicles, given to them by NATO countries,” reports Julian Röpke of pro-war German newspaper Bild. On Bild TV, Röpke showed Russian images of the destroyed armor, saying that Bild had been able to verify the veracity of the images. The destruction caused to Ukrainian forces in the course of liberating just one of six villages they had taken in the direction of Mariupol in South Ukraine was “incredible”, Röpcke said. The destroyed vehicles were “mainly western-supplied vehicles”, Röpcke noted....

The failure of the grain deal (undermining the bridge) will result in huge financial losses for Ukraine. And the strikes on the Black Sea ports are tied into it. It was the most powerful attack on the city since the beginning of the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine. From what can be gathered from Ukrainian sources, the Russian combined arms attack included around 32 Iranian UAV ‘Geranium’, 16 Calibre Missiles, 8 X-22s, 6 hypersonic Onyx missiles and one X-59 flew across the skies of Ukraine. The targets were the infrastructure of the ports of Odessa and the region, industrial...

Video posted of Hunter Biden while watching the Fourth of July fireworks show from the Truman Balcony at the White House Tuesday night has people wondering if the First Son had a case of the sniffles–or something else– in the wake of the Secret Service discovering cocaine in the White House West Wing on Sunday while the Biden family was away at Camp David. Hunter is due to face a sweetheart deal on federal tax charges at the end of July, as well as a diversion for a gun charge based on his being a self-admitted cocaine addict. In the...

It wasn’t that long ago that Mitt Romney was threatening former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for suggesting the US was funding biolabs in Ukraine. Back in March 2022, RINO Senator Mitt Romney accused former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of spreading ‘treasonous lies’ for simply talking about the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine. “There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release and spread deadly pathogens to US/world.” Gabbard said at the time. “We must take action now to prevent disaster. US/Russia/Ukraine/NATO/UN/EU must implement a ceasefire now around these labs until they’re secured and pathogens destroyed,” she added. VIDEO: There...

As public writers we have to strike a careful balance between (a) not giving someone like Dylan Mulvaney too much press, and (b) using his sad, tragic life story as a warning for other vulnerable potential victims of transgender ideology. His latest pronouncement falls squarely into the latter camp: [M]any women object to Mulvaney's shrill approximation of femininity. Others resent a biological male stepping into their shoes, and gobbling up paid work promoting cosmetics and other feminine products. The criticisms clearly sting Mulvaney, whose typically peppy appearances have, one year into [his] journey, given way to moments of despondency and...

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has announced his engagement to his partner Ann Lesley Smith, a former police chaplain. Mr Murdoch, 92, and Ms Smith, 66, met in September at an event at his vineyard in California. The businessman told the New York Post, one of his own publications: "I dreaded falling in love - but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I'm happy." He split with fourth wife Jerry Hall last year. Mr Murdoch added that he proposed to Ms Smith on St Patrick's Day, noting that he was "one fourth Irish" and had been "very...

Via Church Militant. Seminarians from Barcelona say they were scandalized when Pope Francis reportedly used the f-word and other expletives at a papal audience in Rome. According to testimonies from the seminarians, Francis ranted against “f***ing careerists who f*** up the lives of others.” The pope criticized “those who climb to show their a**,” the Italian media outlet Daily Compass reported on Monday. The trainee priests were shocked when Francis also reportedly insisted that priests should never deny absolution to penitents in the confessional under any circumstances. Eyewitnesses describe how the pontiff, at the audience on Dec. 10, tossed his...

Reports are coming out that Kevin McCarthy has moved into the Speaker’s office. This is despite reports that 10-15 GOP Congressmen and women are not expected to vote for him on the first ballot tomorrow. Kevin McCarthy has a lot of baggage to overcome to win the Speaker of the House. He famously questioned in a phone call released by MSNBC whether those who protested the stolen election in 2020 could have their Twitter accounts removed. At the same time, McCarthy said that the only discussion that he would have with President Trump is to encourage him to resign. This...

Dozens of Republicans have indicated they plan to vote for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for speaker no matter how drawn out the voting process becomes, according to letters circulated among Republicans this week. The letters, first reported by Politico, came from Republican Main Street Caucus leaders and from a group of Republicans who won districts that President Joe Biden carried in 2020. In the Main Street Caucus’s letter, sent Friday, chair Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and vice chair Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) wrote that their more than 70-member caucus had come to a “strong consensus” that they would...

Well, if this doesn’t take the cake. I mean the whole platter of angel food. No, make it the whole darn bakery. As if this administration and the Democrats have not shown enough insufferable hubris, incredible hypocrisy, unparalleled arrogance, and a monumental entitlement mentality, this would certainly qualify. Multiple news outlets are reporting that after the House passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus pork sandwich last Friday, said bill is being flown, yes FLOWN, to St. Croix for Biden’s signature. Biden is reportedly ringing in the new year at the home of a wealthy donor there. He must sign the bill...

A California man who said he was angry that the U.S. Supreme Court may soon overturn Roe v. Wade has been charged with threatening to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh outside his Maryland home early Wednesday morning.

Roske allegedly threatened to kill Kavanaugh because he was upset that the justice...
