This date in 1985 spelled farewell for the KGB agent Vladimir Vetrov … code-named Farewell by the western handlers to whom he passed Soviet secrets. Vladimir Vetrov was a career officer in Soviet intelligence who grew disgruntled* and in 1980 went to work for the West. And he was no ordinary spy. Think Aldrich Ames, to the power of ten. Vladimir Vetrov oversaw the entire KGB directorate charged with a critical program: Line X, which surveilled western R&D and passed its fruits back to Mother Russia. In the 1960s and 1970s, Line X stole jaw-dropping volumes of military, computer, and...

VIDEOAre we reaching the point where our videos could be censored or taken down if we do not call her DOCTOR Jill Biden? We might already have reached that level of censorship so I am taking no chances. In fact, I am going to emphasize that she is DOCTOR Jill Biden whenever I refer to her and I recommend you do the same.

Almost any U.S. employment snapshot looks grand compared with last April when COVID shutdowns rocketed joblessness to 14.8 percent. By December, the seasonally adjusted rate fell to 6.7 percent. So, everything zen? As the song goes, I don’t think so. Current unemployment is nearly double what it was in December 2019 and remains higher than at any point since March 2014. Neither the 2001 recession nor the 1990 downturn drove joblessness so high. And this doesn’t express the problem’s full magnitude. The effective unemployment rate, including those who have given up looking for work and those who involuntarily work part-time,...

On the exact same day that Joe Biden was inaugurated into office, the World Health Organization tightened their criteria for who is diagnosed as a positive COVID-19 case. This has to be a coincidence, right? I mean, what are the odds? Now, a single positive PCR test for the virus isn’t going to cut it anymore. For some reason, as of inauguration day, the organization decided that those tests for the virus we’ve been relentlessly assured are the gold standard for detecting infection are, in reality, just a mere “aid for diagnosis.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ratcheted up the fiery rhetoric in an interview with MSNBC, suggesting President Trump could be charged as an accessory to murder for his alleged role in the Capitol riots. Pelosi made the comments Tuesday evening as she alleged Trump’s words incited the crowd of protesters earlier this month to engage in violent acts at the Capitol. “[The] President’s words are important, they weigh a ton. And if you’re Donald Trump talking to these people, they believe it and they used his words to come here,” she said. “When we talk about ‘did any of our colleagues...

The Central Intelligence Agency announced at the start of the new year that it had traded its old site design in favor of a new look. From Creative Bloq The CIA’s new rebrand includes a refreshed logo (below) which retains its predecessor’s circular shape – and very little else. With its bold, black-and-white typeface and wavy lines, the internet is wondering whether the CIA has been taking logo design inspiration from techno music posters. The logo features on the CIA’s new recruitment website, and is part of a rebranding effort designed to encourage more diverse applicants “from people of all...

President Joe Biden signed more than a dozen executives orders on his first day in office, some of which reverse former President Trump’s policies. Biden signed a total of 15 executive orders, which his transition team announced ahead of his inauguration as part of the new administration’s plan for the first 100 days in the White House. “I thought there’s no time to wait. Get to work immediately,” Biden said. “These are all just starting points. There’s going to be a lot of focus on the middle class, and I think some of the things we’ll be doing are bold...

Federal police clashed with violent far-left mobs of Antifa rioters on Wednesday night, who took to the streets in cities across America declaring: "We don't want Biden, we want revenge!" Just hours after Joe Biden was sworn in on Inauguration Day, radical activists launched into a spree of destruction, burning U.S. flags, destroying property, and attacking police officers.

Donald Trump has vowed he will be “back in some form” after departing the White House for the final time as president. He told supporters as he prepared to fly to Florida that it had been “a great honor to be your president”. He is the first president to snub his successor’s inauguration since 1869 but did say: “I wish the new administration great luck and great success.” Joe Biden did take the oath a few moments ago in front of a small, socially distanced audience.

President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn-in as the 46th president of the United States Wednesday at noon. In a ceremony that will keep with tradition while being unlike any other inauguration in U.S. history, Biden will take his oath of office before a small, socially distanced audience. Those slated to attend the scaled-down ceremony include most members of Congress and the Supreme Court and former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, and their spouses, as well as Vice President Mike Pence. Well, one video from former President Barack Obama which was taken right before Biden was certified...

The Department of Defense (DOD) has announced that, after an exhaustive Pentagon investigation into almost 25,000 troops, there is "no plot" by the National Guard to launch an "insider attack" against Joe Biden. The probe involved vetting thousands of troops following allegations from Democrats, and their allies in the media, that the National Guard would "attack" Biden at his swearing-in ceremony.

Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, speaking in a podcast hosted by the former First Lady, promoted a wild theory that President Trump updated Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Capitol riots, and would like to see a 9/11-style commission investigating the events. “I would love to see his phone records to see if he was talking to Putin the day the insurgents invaded our Capitol,” Clinton told the House Speaker. Russian collusion conspiracies dominated President Trump’s entire term, as Democrats baselessly claimed his campaign had conspired with Putin to steal the election in 2016. Clinton’s accusation is offered without proof...

The Democratic Party’s Inauguration Insurrections of 2005 and 2017 were a disgrace. I know I was there. The Leftist Democrats paramilitary turned DC into a war zone making a mockery of our Republic’s most sacred event - the peaceful transition of power from one presidential administration to the other. This angst about the Biden Inauguration (tomorrow as I write this) is nothing but hyperbole. Nothing could be worse than the Leftist Democratic Party insurrections staged then. The Democrat Insurrectionists banged drums and symbols, honked air horns, rang cowbells, and chanted throughout the entire ceremony. (One occurrence that was rather amusing...

Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller stated there is no evidence of an insider threat to the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on January 20th. Miller did add that they are continuing to thoroughly vet all National Guardsmen deployed to Washington, D.C. during the event as a safety precaution, however. “As is normal for military support to large security events, the Department will vet National Guardsmen who are in Washington, D.C.,” he said in a statement. “While we have no intelligence indicating an insider threat, we are leaving no stone unturned in securing the capital.” ... Many view the vetting...

Yes, the source is tiktok. Hold your laughter. This appears to be a valid account with some amazing footage in and outside the Whiteshouse by a member of staff. To me this is some really great video.

... In the 1960s, the liberal-progressive establishment successfully managed black anger, which became explosive in major cities, by accommodating demands for civil rights and allocating vast sums for economic uplift while preserving America’s existing hierarchies of wealth and power.... Ronald Reagan’s uncompromising clarity about the moral evil of the Soviet Empire helped bring the Cold War to a successful conclusion. Nonetheless, the end of communism strengthened the liberal-progressive establishment. In the cultural mythology of the twentieth century, the moderation of the volatile class resentments of the modern era is credited entirely to managerial liberalism. The same is assumed when it...

Vernon Jones, a black former Democrat and supporter of President Trump, published an op-ed in which he explains why he switched to the Republican party. Jones officially announced his party switch in early January, stating that the Democrat party had changed, not him. “I am no longer a Democrat,” he said. “I cannot stand for the defunding of the police, higher taxes on working families, and job-killing socialist policies that will devastate Americans of all walks of life.” Jones accused his former party of dragging Americans down through “a false narrative based on race-baiting, identity politics, and widespread propaganda fed...
