President Joe Biden spent three days this week campaigning in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. He littered his remarks with false and misleading claims on subjects ranging from his annual earnings to his cap on seniors’ prescription drug spending to the demographics of China to the frequency of his past travel to Iraq and Afghanistan. And in Biden’s most eyebrow-raising remarks of the campaign swing, he told and then retold a story in which he strongly suggested his late uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down while he fought in World War II....

Traces the failure of the dam to corruption in the Ursk government. Bizarre claim that mice had eaten a hole in the dam, which was just a pile of packed dirt, but cost one billion ruble (33 million dollars in 2010 rubles). First half hour is monologue and footage. After that, the subscribers have Q&A, some of which is interesting. But the substance is the first half hour.

Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said "the President has been briefed by scientific experts who warn that the H5N1 strain of bird flu could have a 50% fatality rate. That means it would kill half the people who catch the disease, which they tell us will be almost everyone. Since the fatality rate for COVID turned out to be only one half of a percent, the bird flu would kill 100 times as many people as COVID did." "The CDC is working on the measures that will be needed to limit the damage," Jean-Pierre assured an incredulous press corps. "This...

After decades of waging war against impoverished nations with destitute armies, or no standing armies at all, the US has suddenly found itself in a rapidly changing world where peer and near-peer competitors are outpacing it in military capabilities. Many of these capabilities are showing up on the battlefield in places the US has until recently enjoyed relative military superiority. One area the US has found itself particularly weak in is artillery. The conflict in Ukraine has revealed a variety of shortcomings regarding not only US artillery capabilities, but those of the collective West.

Friday’s jobs report has everyone excited. Everyone, that is, who is pulling for Joe Biden to win reelection. Outside that blinkered lot, the pain of Bidenomics is still very real. “Today’s report marks a milestone in America’s comeback,” he said. “Three years ago, I inherited an economy on the brink” – a lie we’ve repeatedly exposed – “With today’s report of 303,000 new jobs in March, we have passed the milestone of 15 million jobs created since I took office” – another lie; as we noted last week, the economy has created only 5 million net new jobs under Biden,...

With yet another study showing trust in major media outlets hitting a near all-time low, there's no better time than right now for former ESPN star Sage Steele to reveal just how deep the institutional rot really runs. Over at TIPP Insights, Terry Jones — not the one from Monty Python, I'm reasonably certain — called it a "media tailspin" when he looked at the results of the latest I&I/TIPP poll on the public's trust in major news sources. TIPP asked more than 1,400 registered voters how much trust they have that traditional or "established" news outlets like the New...

Liz Cheney Under Fire: Damning Accusations of Evidence Concealment Rock J6 Committee. Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s actions on the January 6 Committee have come under scrutiny amid allegations of evidence suppression. A recently unearthed transcript reveals that the committee may have concealed crucial information regarding President Donald Trump’s purported push for 10,000 National Guard troops to safeguard the capital. Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims that the White House had offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops ahead of January 6. A suppressed transcript from an early interview with Deputy Chief...

In 2021, after Joe Biden had been President for just seven months, I published an article in The Federalist asking, “If Joe Biden’s Team Will Lie About His Dog Biting People, What Won’t They Lie About?” The President himself has now – once again – answered that question with a resounding “Nothing!” WHAT HAS HE DONE NOW? One of the latest examples of this lack of discipline and honesty, is Biden’s testimony in the course of his two-day interview by Special Counsel Robert Hur. To an eye practiced in reviewing the transcript of those interviews and Joe Biden’s fitness for...

Russia's spymaster said Tuesday that opposition leader Alexei Navalny died of natural causes, a statement that appeared to reflect the Kremlin's efforts to assuage international outrage over the death of President Vladimir Putin's fiercest foe. Sergei Naryshkin, the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, the top spy agency known under its Russian acronym SVR, made the statement in an interview broadcast by Russian state television. He didn't name the cause of Navalny's death in a remote Arctic penal colony or give any other details. “Sooner or later life ends and people die,” he said. “Navalny has died of natural causes.”

As reported earlier by Kristinn Taylor, Russian democracy activist Alexei Navalny, 47, reportedly died in a Soviet era gulag located north of the Arctic Circle on Friday, according to the Russian prison authority. Navalny leaves behind his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and their two children.Navalny organized anti-government demonstrations and ran for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, and against President Vladimir Putin and his government.In 2021 Navalny was ordered to prison for 2.5 years.Navalny reportedly fell ill and died while taking a walk. Navalny’s wife and lawyers are awaiting confirmation of his death. Navalny was an opponent of Russian...

WASHINGTON — President Biden went ballistic on special counsel Robert Hur for allegedly asking about his son Beau’s death — but a new report says the question never came up and Biden himself raised the topic. The 81-year-old president was defending his cognitive abilities when he ripped Hur during a bellicose press conference Thursday night — but Biden’s memory appears to have failed him again. “There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that,” Biden fumed in a statement to reporters before taking questions. “Frankly, when I was asked...

Yet, even by Vlad’s standards, it was bad. Let’s just say it won’t do anything to challenge the stereotype of Russians as stiff and melancholic. Putin hijacked the exchange with his eccentric view of history. He gave that lecture he loves, about how Ukraine is an “artificial state” magicked up by Stalin. But there was very little grilling. Carlson asked for evidence that the CIA blew up the Nord Stream gas pipeline and then just accepted it when Putin said “I won’t get into details.” Hold on — the man who just bored us to tears with his fantasy history...

President Joe Biden delivered a gaffe-filled speech in a prime-time press conference Thursday night where he peddled a series of lies debunked by Special Counsel Robert Hur.Hours earlier, the special counsel published a nearly 400-page report outlining the conclusions of a year-long investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Prosecutors declined to charge the president in part because Biden is an “elderly man with a poor memory.”“It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him by — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental...

President Joe Biden claimed during a White House press conference this week that if Congressional Republicans do not pass his highly controversial border bill, former President Donald Trump will be “the only reason the border is not secure.” Biden made the remarks after setting numerous records during his presidency for the historic number of illegal aliens that have stormed through the southern border. Biden, who repeatedly stated throughout his first three years in office that the border was secure and that there was no crisis, has now changed his views on the issue as polling ahead of the November elections...

Like most of you, I was stunned when the presidents of three of America’s leading universities—UPenn, Harvard and MIT—testified before a congressional committee investigating antisemitism on college campuses. On their campuses, raucous pro-Palestinian protestors chanted, “From the river to the sea,” effectively calling for the elimination of the Jewish state and the genocide of the Jewish people. When New York Rep. Elise Stefanik asked if “calling for the genocide of Jews” violated student codes of conduct, the presidents dodged the yes-or-no question and refused to take a position. Can you imagine? The leaders of some of the most prestigious educational...

Jesus Christ Himself gave the very first sign to look for in answer to His immediately present disciples’ question: “What shall be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” The Lord answered: “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4a). Jesus continued by applying the deception that would mark His return and the end of the age to that involving the deceivers claiming to be Christ Himself. That has proven to be the case. There have been within every generation those who claimed to be the Christ....

Guys buying their way out of the meat grinder and the scheme by which the kleptonazi regime avoids paying death benefits to survivors of soldiers killed in the meat grinder.

Next step after this will have to be rounding up all the dogs and cats and throwing them into the meat grinder...

I do not know Maria Mateiciuc, but she claims she recently visited Ukraine and presents a persuasive case about the desperate situation Ukraine is facing. She has a X (formerly Twitter) account and appears to be a legit person. I do not think she is a bot or someone hired to tell a tragic story. She posted what she says is an image of her passport from her recent trip to Ukraine. Read her post. What do you think?I just got back from Ukraine, where I was visiting some friends. Everything we have heard about what’s happening in Ukraine is...
