President Joe Biden said the ban is a 'powerful blow to Putin's war machine' during White House remarks The ban will be levied by the US alone without European Union allies, which rely more on Russian energy Biden used their reliance on Russian oil and gas as a reason to accelerate the move toward clean energy, which he said 'will mean that no one has to worry about price at the gas pump in the future' American markets only bought 3.5 percent of their crude oil from Russia last year, with most from Canada Domestic gas prices have skyrocketed since...

It wasn’t clear why the attacker chose the synagogue. Law enforcement officials who were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity earlier said the hostage-taker demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist suspected of having ties to al-Qaida who is in a federal prison in Texas. He also said he wanted to be able to speak with her, according to the officials, one of whom confirmed that the hostage-taker was a British national.

The United States' and Russia's top military officers spoke over the phone on November 23, amid heightened Western concerns over Russian military moves near the Ukrainian border. Kyiv and its Western backers have raised alarm bells in recent days over a Russian military buildup near Ukraine, whose military intelligence chief claimed on November 21 that Russia has amassed 92,000 troops near its borders and was readying an attack in early February. The Kremlin has called such allegations “groundless.” Russia seized Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in March 2014, and has been backing separatists in two of Ukraine's eastern provinces in an ongoing...

Rank-and-file boosters of communism don't tend to do so well once the Reds have taken over. As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." In my opinion,...

More than 500 Democratic party staffers and alumni ofJoe Biden’s 2020 campaign have signed an open letter calling for the US president to do more to protect Palestinians and hold Israel accountable for its actions in and over Gaza, where a ceasefire currently holds. The move comes amid a deepening split in Democratic ranks, between some vocal members of its progressive wing – such as Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez – and more centrist figures including Biden who have taken a consistently pro-Israel stance. Biden has come under increasing pressure to take a firmer stance against Israel after the recent conflict in which...

Thousands of people have gathered on the streets of central London to protest in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict with Israel. "Immediate action" is needed by the UK government, organisers say, to help end the "brutal" violence against the people of Palestine. By Saturday afternoon, thousands of people had marched through Hyde Park in central London, chanting "free, free Palestine", and gathered outside the Israeli embassy in Kensington. Organisers say that 100,000 people had joined the crowds in Kensington outside the embassy. On a makeshift stage on Kensington High Street, Labour's Diane Abbott told the crowd: "We must...

'Let’s make them hurt a little bit. . . . I’m also asking for your help to make a stand and take our city back.' Antifa made the Portland Mayor flee his home and they sucker punched him in the face. But in response he did nothing. Even in the final days of the Trump administration, Ted Wheeler was an indirect Antifa advocate. He was publicly offended at comparisons being drawn between the Far Left group and the January 6th Capitol Riots. Last year after the death of George Floyd, Antifa spent the summer sieging the Portland courthouse. Pushover Wheeler...

On Friday, Major League Baseball decided to take its All-Star Game away from Atlanta’s Truist Park in response to the state’s new voter integrity law. Liberal supporters exploded with delight after the MLB announcement. Many in the world of sports jumped on the bandwagon to congratulate the league: LeBron James Proud to call myself a part of the mlb family today. BlackLivesMatter Other leftists also went wild in support of the league’s move: Gavin Newsom Hey MLB — feel free to give us a call. In California we actually work to expand voter access -- not prevent it. Ron Perlman...

A number of White House staffers were fired or demoted for past marijuana use — regardless of whether those employees had been in one of the 14 states where the drug is legal, according to a report. The Biden Administration had required workers to disclose past marijuana use on a background check form, but told some new hires that it would “overlook” those who answered yes, the Daily Beast reported. Despite this, White House Director of Management and Administration Anne Filipic reportedly led a series of one-on-one calls with staffers this month, asking those who admitted to past marijuana use...

It is my opinion that the Democrat bill, For the People Act 2021 H.R. 1 - 117th Congress (2021-2022), a laughable title, is the fatal blow to free and fair elections, and the end of the United States of America as we know it. In case you think I am exaggerating, consider this checklist: ● The coronavirus "pandemic" was an economic bioweapon designed to collapse Trump's roaring U.S. economy, terrify Americans into submission, and justify mail-in ballots. The pandemic is and always was political medicine disguised as public health ✔︎ ● The mail-in ballots augmented the digital interference via Dominion...

IN about 15 minutes from this post, a Q post from March 2019 stated that a MARKER would be set; specifically, " "Marker [2] Set." This was accompanied by a watch that indicated Jan 27, 3:06 PM (Presumably EST). Why is this important? Because in the same drop, Q had set Marker [1] for January 19, at 4:49. On that date, at 4:49 PM EST, a DECLAS drop was done from the Document release that verified that Christopher Steele admitted to an investigator that he colluded with Democrat operatives involved with the Hillary Clinton campaign to accuse Trump of Russian...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’),...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has "better than a 50-50 chance" of voting to convict President Donald Trump and remove him from office, Axios reported on Tuesday night. McConnell believes Trump has committed multiple impeachable offenses and is "pleased" at the idea of Trump being impeached and removed from office, The New York Times also reported on Tuesday. The Democratic-controlled House is expected to vote on impeaching Trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection on the US Capitol on Wednesday. This would make Trump the first president in American history to be impeached twice. McConnell thinks that Trump being...

Today Italian Judge, professor and lawyer Alfio D’Urso gave testimony on defense contractor Leonardo SpA’s involvement in the alleged switching of votes from Trump to Biden via military satellite download and uplink from CIA-protected Dominion servers in Frankfurt. It’s the second whistleblower to give a signed and sworn affidavit this week after Arturo D’Ella, an IT expert contracted to Leonardo, came forward to say he was the one who actually “pushed the button” to get the deed done. D’Ella, as pointed out in D’Urso’s affidavit, is also charged with implanting viruses in Leonard’s servers — a frame job according to...

"Is Kelly Loeffler here? Where is David Perdue? He ought to be standing right here. This is Georgia. We aint dumb. We're not going to vote on January 6th on another machine made by China. You're not going to fool Georgians again. They have not earned your vote! Don't you give it to them!"

Alex Jones breaks down the CDC’s own death numbers for 2021 to reveal almost no change in the death rates of years past.

His latest bombshell is either absolutely insane or the key to exposing the powers and principalities ruling this world. Attorney Lin Wood is quickly becoming the most controversial figure on the internet. His Twitter and Parler posts are both wildly popular and ridiculed. The QAnon crowd is torn between whether he’s schizophrenic or crazy like a fox. 4Chan debates about him are just as polarizing. His latest bombshell is either absolutely insane or the key to exposing the powers and principalities ruling this world. I have my own opinions about it, but for once I’m not going to express them....

Humanitarian reasons have been cited for flying home several 'IS' brides and children from internment in Syria. At the height of the civil war, the women allegedly traveled to join the Islamist militia. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on Sunday said he was "relieved" that a "humanitarian" recovery operation had brought home 18 children and five "Islamic State" (IS) brides from Kurdish-run internment camps in northeastern Syria. One of three German women brought back, identified in reports as Leonore M., 21, from Saxony-Anhalt state, was arrested a day earlier on arrival in Frankfurt airport, on charges including terror organization membership,...
