The ICC said the president is allegedly responsible for the "unlawful deportation of children and unlawful transfer of children from the territory of Ukraine to the Russian Federation". War crimes include torture, mutilation, corporal punishment, hostage taking and acts of terrorism. The category also covers violations of human dignity such as rape and forced prostitution, looting and execution without trial.

IT’s nearly here! The birthday of the selfless one himself. The man, the myth, the legend, saviour of all humanity, Jesus Christ. However, it is actually widely debated that, if he did exist in flesh and blood, his birthday was actually on December 25. One theory suggests that the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ may have been Venus and Jupiter coming together to form a bright light in the sky, a rare event that occurred in June of 2 B.C. Another possibility is that it could have been a similar conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter, which was in October of 7 B.C....

But the divide between Biden and Netanyahu runs deeper. At the heart of it lies a fundamental disagreement about the role the Palestinian Authority should play in Gaza’s future security and governance and, implicitly, the viability of an eventual two-state solution (however remote). Biden wants the PA to take Hamas’ place once the war is over, while Netanyahu staunchly opposes any PA involvement (even as he refuses to say who else he would prefer to fill the void) – effectively ruling out Palestinian self-rule, let alone a Palestinian state. Make no mistake: On this, Biden is right and Netanyahu is...

Since the introduction of the COVID vaccine, there’s been a significant change in our way of life, or rather, the lifespan of Americans, as life expectancy has experienced an alarming downturn. We’ve also been seeing injuries related to the vaccine, often downplayed by the media and left-wing groups, and a concerning number of “sudden deaths” among healthy, young Americans. And this isn’t some random speculation or wild conspiracy theory. The alarming increase in young people suffering heart attacks is a real and present issue.

As the Russian leader is strengthening ties with Persian Gulf leaders, "the durability of America's support for Ukraine is coming into question," Bloomberg wrote NEW YORK, December 6./TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin's upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia illustrates that Washington's efforts to isolate Moscow have failed, the Bloomberg news agency wrote... Putin will visit two Middle Eastern countries-the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia for bilateral talks on Wednesday, the Kremlin press service reported earlier. He will meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al Saud and President of the United Arab Emirates Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan...

@RepThomasMassie I’m voting against HR 5961 because there’s no legal or moral authority for us to freeze or steal assets of other countries we are not at war with. It’s also shortsighted for us to use our super-power status to force foreign banks to freeze assets of sovereign countries.

I just upgraded to Premium+ on there and it got me wondering if they could survive this way if all these advertisers pull out? Others have mentioned the late Rush Limbaugh faced a similar boycott but Twitter/X is another level as it's quite a complex system and requires many employees/resources, etc. With Musk telling advertisers to GFY and warning that X could be killed it seems obvious this situation is critical. One thing he's launching is an AI assistant called Grok which will tap into Twitter's vast network. ChatGPT has been hugely successful so maybe this will be a way...

@RepThomasMassie I agree with the title “Reaffirming the State of Israel’s Right to Exist” and much of the language, but I’m voting No on the resolution because it equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Antisemitism is deplorable, but expanding it to include criticism of Israel is not helpful.

September 17, 2021 marks 73 years since the assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte, a Swedish diplomat who had worked as a mediator between Jews and Arabs, by the pre-state militia known as the Stern Gang (Lehi). Bernadotte was a member of the Swedish royal family and had worked extensively as a diplomat during World War II. During this time, he had helped free tens of thousands of prisoners held in Nazi Germany and had worked unsuccessfully to negotiate an armistice between the Nazis and the Western Allies, notably without the knowledge of Adolf Hitler.

Side by side comparison. Which one is the conservative and which one is Establishment?

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump will likely be the GOP presidential nominee because Americans didn’t know history. During an interview with Univision, when asked about criminal prosecutions, Trump said, “If they do this, and they’ve already done it, but if they want to follow through on this, yeah. I could, and it could certainly happen in reverse. Certainly happen in reverse. What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box. If I happen to be president and see somebody who’s doing well and beating...

At the behest of AIPAC, Rashida Tlaib was censured by House Republicans for being upset like any human being would be that Israel’s army is allowed to exterminate her people. Since Mike Johnson became House Speaker in October, House Republicans have voted to Stand With Israel no matter what the cost, to send $14.3 billion dollars to Israel, fight anti-Semitism on college campuses and authorize a war with Iran to stop it from acquiring WMD. Rep. Brian Mast, a Republican from Florida, even showed up to work in Congress wearing an IDF uniform. In the House GOP, it has been...

Western pundits like to make fun of the supposedly “no limits” partnership between China and Russia. But if they really want to know what no limits means in a state-to-state relationship and how tremendous self-harm can result, they need to look no further than that between the United States and Israel. What Israel wants, Israel gets; and does not even have to ask first when it comes to emergency financial aid and weapons. As Israel bombs its way across the Gaza Strip and Jewish settlers commit murder to seize Palestinian land in the West Bank, the weapons they are using...

AMMAN, Jordan (RNS) — Yasmine Faraa, a Jordanian of Palestinian heritage, was angered when an Israeli missile hit a building belonging to St. Porphyrios Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza, killing 18 and injuring 20. Faraa, a Muslim, came up with the idea to hold a vigil outside the Orthodox Christian Church, in the Jordanian capital’s Sweifieh neighborhood, to show solidarity. The numbers that turned out for the vigil on Sunday (Oct. 22) surprised even the Jordanian police, who had initially decided that they didn’t need to block the roads leading to the church. The crowd was largely composed of middle-...

If you expect former President Donald Trump to fulfill even one campaign promise he is making for 2024, you would have to explain why he is openly mocking the idea that he could fulfill the promise that defined his entire candidacy in 2016. The core promise of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign was that he would build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it. This is what defined his tough-on-illegal-immigration approach, and he even mocked detractors who said that he would not or could not possibly do it. As late as October 2020, less than one...

There has been a very strong backlash to the consistent funding of Ukraine military, although many in government remain as determined as possible to continue funding. A number in the House are claiming this has come to an end. So, what do you think will happen, and how much will Israel and Ukraine ultimately get by Dec 31, 2023? My personal prediction is Congress gives $15 billion to Israel, with some "fig leaf" coverings to make it look like they are concerned about US matters. My prediction is that Biden somehow finds some way to bypass congress in a way...
