The Summary of the Report Background 2014-2021 Since the first months of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2014, faith-based communities of various denominations have fully experienced the brutality and ruthlessness of Russia’s repressive policy in the occupied territories of Crimea and the Donbas region. Russian troops and Russian- backed separatists have targeted religious leaders and individual believers of most faiths, except the Orthodox parishes affiliated with the Moscow Patriarchate. Representatives of religious minorities were arbitrarily arrested, threatened, beaten, illegally imprisoned, tortured, and some were deliberately killed. The repressive policy in the self-proclaimed “people’s republics,” in those parts...

VIDEOYou know how you know that The Young Turks Chunk Yogurt aka Cenk Uygur isn't getting millions of dollars in Democrat donor money this year as he has in the past? Because Chunk is now openly admitting what we already know. Namely that the Democrats CHEAT and RIG elections. To say that out loud is a YUUUUGE taboo for the Democrats and the media so look for Chunk and his sidekick Anna to be placed on the official non-person list. Of course, Chunk was forced by circumstances into making his admission. By previously buying completely into the Trump-Russia hoax, most...

Everything you need to know about Kosher for Passover food.The Kosher aisle at the supermarket looks a bit different every spring. Along with the cherished yellow-capped Coca-Cola bottles, plenty of new and sometimes unusual-looking products (off-brand grain-free children’s cereals, canned macaroons in festive flavors) are stocked on shelves in preparation for the major Jewish holiday. What makes these products, and this seasonally niche form of Kashrut, different from the typical Kosher groceries and meals consumed during the rest of the year? Passover comes with its very own, one-week-only, set of eating guidelines for observant Jews. Kosher for Passover food adds...

Imagine making a documentary about one of the 20th century’s leading opponents of the Ku Klux Klan — without ever talking about the evil of the KKK itself. If that sounds like malpractice, consider PBS’s new documentary on the life of William F. Buckley Jr. “The Incomparable Mr. Buckley,” the latest installment in the “American Masters” series, has much to say about anti-Communism but never reckons with the murderous reality of Communism itself. In failing to do so, producer and director Barak Goodman unintentionally reminds his viewers why Buckley was needed in the first place — and why he still...

Does state Attorney General Letitia James believe her only job is attacking Donald Trump? Now she’s going after the ex-prez for posting the bond on the $454 million civil-fraud judgment she won against him in February, a step he must take in order to appeal. Last week, Trump posted the $175 million bond, provided by Knight Specialty Insurance Co., to temporarily prevent James from snatching up Trump Tower and other assets (an outcome she’s been raring for since the judgment was passed down) while he continued to fight the ruling in an appeals court. Not good enough for Tish: On...

A mugger brutally punched a 68-year-old parishioner down the steps of her Queens church early Sunday – then snatched her purse and rode off in her car as she lied on the ground in pain, according to authorities and video of the disturbing crime. The victim was approaching the entrance of the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church on 152nd Street in Briarwood around 8:20 a.m. when the much-younger attacker struck, according to cops and the church’s pastor, Father Konstantinos Kalogridis. Video of the vicious attack, which The Post obtained from the church Monday, shows the suspect stalking the woman as...

The Justice Department is refusing to hand over audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. “The Committees have responded with escalation and threats of criminal contempt,” the DOJ wrote in a letter to House GOP Chairmen James Comer and Jim Jordan. “We urge the Committees to avoid conflict rather than seek it.” House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Monday released a statement after the DOJ rebuffed his committee’s request for the audio recordings. “The Biden Administration does not get to determine what Congress needs and does not need for its oversight of the executive branch,” Comer...

Earlier today, President Trump released a statement on his positions for abortion and abortion rights.

President Trump also announced his support for IVF treatments for families that want a baby, saying, “The Republican Party should always stand for life.” Following his remarks Trump slammed Senator Lindsey Graham for his previous remarks on abortion. Lindsey Graham is famous for delivering the midterms to Democrats with his proposed abortion regulations after Graham announced legislation to ban abortion in the US after 15 weeks....

Vice President Kamala Harris bricked this one. Harris mistakenly said in a recent interview that the women’s NCAA Tournament only introduced brackets in 2022, which, well, is completely false. A source told The Post, though, that the Vice President — despite using wrong verbiage — was referring to how the Women’s Tournament only received March Madness branding in 2022. “Do you know — OK, a bit of a history lesson — do you know that the women’s teams were not allowed to have brackets until 2022?” Harris said in an interview with Spectrum News in North Carolina at a clean...

We’ve seen a little bit of a flare-up so far this year.”

The parents of a San Diego eighth grader are suing the school officials who, in yet another instance of liberals concocting racism where none exists, deemed the boy a racist for wearing eyeblack to a football game. The boy, who was trying to emulate professional football players who use face paint, was accused of wearing “blackface” by the school principal who suspended him in a decision upheld by the school superintendent.
