One by one, the men slipped out of their houses into the night in plain clothes, breaking the Russian curfew. Dodging patrols and moving quickly but quietly, they gathered at the site of a weapons cache hidden two years earlier.
Selected from a wide network of Ukrainian partisans in the nation’s occupied south for their weapons training and physical prowess, they were about to embark on their most daring mission of the war to date; one that would almost cost one of them his life.
As the UK debates whether the impacts of lockdown are responsible for more deaths than Covid itself, the wider secondary effects of Covid shutdowns are becoming apparent across the world. One country that is bucking the trend is Sweden, which seems to be reaping the benefits of its non coercive approach.
Two new studies show that, in different ways, Sweden seems to have escaped the most harmful secondary impacts that other countries showed.
An off-campus co-op for students at the University of California, Berkeley named the ‘Person of Color Theme House’ has banned white guests from entering common areas of the house.
A list of house rules revealed that occupants were told ‘many POC moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests.’
While the student house aims to have an ‘inclusive’ environment, the rules specifically state ‘white guests are not allowed in common spaces,’ according to the list, which was posted on Reddit.
I think we should segregate in keeping with their wishes.
Last week’s raid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on former President Donald Trump’s home has damaged the FBI’s standing with Republican and independent voters.
A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 44% of Likely U.S. voters say the FBI raid on Trump’s Florida home made them trust the FBI less, compared to 29% who say it made them trust the bureau more. Twenty-three percent (23%) say the Trump raid did not make much difference in their trust of the FBI.
Green energy leads to sex trafficking, terrorism, drugs and deforestation.
New York, along with other states, is moving forward with massive wind turbine projects.
The push for “9,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy” comes at a high price, not only for families who are left dependent on expensive and unreliable energy, but for the planet.
The British state has inflamed Islamist intolerance.
Last weekend’s vicious knife attack on author Sir Salman Rushdie has reignited debate over how best to defend free speech and literary expression in the face of Islamist intolerance. Yet something that has been largely overlooked in much of the commentary following the attack is how much of this intolerance is coming from within the West, and has been fuelled by government policy – particularly by state multiculturalism.
For many, last week’s narco-terror hit close to home—literally. What’s next?
If I go out my front door in San Luis Potosí and walk in any direction — north, south, east or west — I’ll hit an Oxxo convenience store in five minutes,10 max. According to Google maps, there are 15 Oxxos within a 1.5-kilometer radius of my address. It may be I live in an especially Oxxo-rich corner of the country, but with more than 20,000 of them nationwide, I’m no outlier.
Interesting slice of life.
On June 14, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suspended its controversial vaccine mandates as they applied to federal workplaces and for travel, the two sectors where the federal government had the authority to issue regulations. However, ministers made it clear that the mandates weren’t dead but merely suspended and could be revived if circumstances warranted.
That’s a wrap for CNN host Brian Stelter. The Reliable Sources host who ineptly attempted to play the role of objective media critic — at CNN of all places — was fired on Thursday.
At NewsBusters Stelter was the subject of many a blog because he so often exposed his leftist bias in his copious criticisms of Republicans and news outlets (like Fox News) that refused to carry water for Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The Freebeacon riff…
Dean French, who negotiated with leaders of the Freedom Convoy earlier this year, said the Liberal government didn’t give enough time for a peaceful resolution to transpire before invoking the Emergencies Act to have the protesters removed by force, even though an agreement for the convoy to leave was reached.
“This was a black mark on Canadian history. History will show this was a total overreaction … and the inquiry is going to show that as well,” French told CBC’s Vassy Kapelo in an interview on Aug. 17.

States in the parched American west are “sharpening their knives” as a historic drought threatens their water supplies and the federal government reluctantly contemplates stepping in to impose rationing.
The political tensions boiled over this week with the announcement that the deadline for a deal had passed, with the threat of Uncle Sam stepping in and enforcing restrictions now looming large.
The ousted CNN host was a hitman on behalf of the media
One of cable news infotainment’s most shameless hosts is out of a job. On Thursday CNN canceled the Sunday morning show Reliable Sources and released its host Brian Stelter.
The media’s janitor, as I’ve come to call him, is unemployed for now, but don’t expect it to last. The New York Times has had a media columnist opening since Ben Smith left in January — and that’s where Stelter made his name.
The jaw-dropping trailer for new movie, My Son Hunter has been released showing the ‘corrupt’ history of scandal of President Biden’s son – including a shocking scene where the 79-year-old president kisses one of his Secret Service agents.
My Son Hunter, which will be distributed by right wing outlet Breitbart News, is set for release September 7 – just two months before the 2022 midterm elections.
