Zelensky Goes Big! Calls on Biden to Declare ‘No-Fly Zone’; Fighting Escalates Despite Ceasefire Talks(VIDEO)

By Breitbart. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the D.C. outlet Axios in a statement on Monday that his country “needs the West to impose a no-fly zone,” a significant escalation potentially tantamount to an act of war.

“The sanctions are heading in the right direction. In addition to disconnecting the Russian Central Bank from SWIFT and providing more Stingers and anti-tank weapons, we need the West to impose a no-fly zone over significant parts of Ukraine,” Zelensky said in a statement to Axios.

“Ukraine can beat the aggressor. We are proving this to the world. But our allies must also do their part,” he added.

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told MSNBC that it is “not something the president wants to do,” and “that’s not a good idea.”

Trump: Putin Playing Biden ‘Like a Drum’; Defiant Ukrainian Border Guards Not Really Killed After Telling Russian Warship to ‘Go F–K Yourself’; Michael Flynn: Biden ‘Set the Table’ and ‘Invited’ Putin to Invade

By WND. Former President Donald Trump is charging that Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, is playing Joe Biden “like a drum” and the just-launched attack on Russia’s neighbor, Ukraine, would not have happened were he still in the White House.

A report at TampaBay.com said Trump described the situation as “not a pretty thing to watch.” . . .

During an interview on Laura Ingraham’s program on Fox, he was asked about Putin, and China’s president, Xi Xinping.

“Well, I had a good relationship with both,” he said. “It was hurt by the Russia hoax. You see what happened with Durham and those reports and other reports including Mueller. It was just a made up hoax and it really hurt our country but despite the hoax, I had a good relationship and with president XI of China, other than the fact that I was tariff-ing and taxing the hell out of him.”

He continued, “As a young man growing up, I always heard that the worst thing that could happen is drive those two countries together. It really started with Obama and energy. He drove them together because one needed the energy and the other needed the money. He drove them together and Biden — I kept them apart – and Biden now it’s a great love fest and that’s a very bad thing and I think you can probably add Iran into it too.” (Read more from “Trump: Putin Playing Biden ‘Like a Drum'” HERE)

Defiant Ukrainian Border Guards Killed After Telling Russian Warship to ‘Go F–K Yourself’

By New York Post. Ukrainian border guards defending a Black Sea island defiantly told an invading Russian warship to “go f–k yourself” when asked to surrender and were killed when the warship opened fire.

The 13 guards were posted on the small but strategic Snake Island off Ukraine’s southeastern border when they were approached by two vessels on Thursday, according to Ukrainian media outlets.

The Russians contacted the guards and identified themselves as a “Russian Warship,” demanding that the Ukrainians surrender or else they would open fire according to audio of the exchange.

“This is a Russian warship, I repeat. I suggest you surrender your weapons and capitulate otherwise I will open fire. Do you copy?” The Russians said to the border guards.



Editor’s note: all border guards were later found alive. The above story was likely fabricated for propaganda purposes.

LT. Gen. Flynn: Biden ‘Set the Table’ and ‘Invited’ Putin to Invade

By WND. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who briefly served as President Trump’s national security adviser, is blaming the current occupant of the Oval Office for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“President Biden and his failed foreign policy team set the table and sent the invitation and President Putin came and spoiled the dinner party,” Flynn said in a statement.

Flynn doubted the Biden administration will pivot after its failures and instead will make “weak attempts to triple down on leveraging this extremely serious situation in Europe to continue to distract from problems here at home.” . . .

In his statement, Flynn wondered how Biden came to the conclusion that he should shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, undermining America’s energy independence, while enabling Russia and Germany to continue building the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Flynn’s deputy national security adviser during his 22 days in the White House, KT McFarland, said Thursday that the “single most important thing” Biden could do to counter Putin is to take away Russia’s leverage by reopening “American energy industry.” (Read more from “LT.

The CDC — Which Is Withholding Information — Has a Hidden Agenda

People say the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a messaging problem. But the CDC’s problem is not messaging — it’s issuing flawed guidance while covering up the data.

Case in point: pushing boosters for young people.

After the Food and Drug Administration inexplicably bypassed its expert advisory committee to authorize boosters for all young people, the CDC director overruled her own experts’ downvote of the boosters-for-all proposal. That’s the magic of a call from the White House. Two top FDA officials, including the agency’s vaccine-center head, quit over White House pressure to authorize boosters for the young.

But after the FDA and CDC rammed through the recommendation, they made sure the public wouldn’t see the real-world data. Despite repeated pleas to release all its data, the CDC only posted stats on boosters in people over age 50.

What have they been hiding? As a proxy, let’s take a look at what the CDC just published on people 50 to 65: For the fully vaccinated, the booster reduces the risk of COVID death from four per million to one per million. Who are those three helped by a booster? They’re not healthy people. One study of breakthrough hospitalizations found 75% had at least four comorbidities.

Odd ‘Joke’: Jill Biden Introduces Kamala Harris as ‘The President’

First lady Jill Biden mistakenly introduced Vice President Kamala Harris as the president of the United States during a Black History Month celebration at the White House on Monday, then claimed she was joking after correcting herself.

“As many of you know, our vice president’s historic path to the White House began before she could even walk, marching with her parents in the Civil Rights movement, or at least being pushed in a stroller,” Biden said during her introductory remarks.

“Since then, she has dedicated her life to pursuing justice and opportunity for all,” Jill Biden continued. “She is a partner to Joe, especially on issues like voting rights, and is proud to be the first, but not the last.”

Jill Biden then began to announce Harris as the president of the United States, but caught herself amid laughter from the audience and a shrug from President Biden.

The first lady then played off her apparent gaffe as a joke, telling the room that “I just said that to make you laugh.” (Read more from “Odd ‘Joke’: Jill Biden Introduces Kamala Harris as ‘The President’” HERE)

Ukrainian Military Confirms Soldiers Who Told Russian Warship to ‘Go F–k Yourself’ Are ‘Alive and Well’

The 13 Ukrainian border guards on Snake Island who were initially believed to have been killed after telling a Russian warship to “go f–k yourselves” are still alive, the Ukrainian Navy confirmed Monday.

The border guards are “alive and well,” according to the Ukrainian Navy, but were forced to surrender to the Russians because they were short on ammunition.

“We are very happy to learn that our brothers are alive and well with them! But Russian propaganda tries to twist the ‘news’ about the fact that the Ukrainian authorities ‘forgotten’, ‘buried’ their fellows,” Ukraine’s Navy said.

“Illegal capture of a civilian ship – a non-combatant without performing any military mission, is a violation of the rules and customs of war, international humanitarian law,” the Ukrainian Navy continued. “We demand from Russia the immediate release of illegally occupied citizens of Ukraine.” (Read more from “Ukrainian Military Confirms Soldiers Who Told Russian Warship to ‘Go F–K Yourself’ Are ‘Alive and Well'” HERE)

Radical Abortion up Until Birth Bill Defeated in Senate

On Monday night, the U.S. Senate voted 46-48 for the so-called Women’s Health Protection Act, which will not only codify Roe v. Wade into federal law, but would override virtually every pro-life law at the state level, thus allowing for unrestricted abortion up until birth. While the radical legislation could not overcome the filibuster, it would have been a close vote without it in place.

Sen. Joe Manchin (WV) was the only Democrat who voted against allowing the bill to proceed for debate. Shortly before the vote took place, Sam Runyon, Manchin’s communications director, emailed Townhall that “Senator Manchin’s position has not changed,” reaffirming his stated pro-life position.

As I covered recently, however, Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (PA), had previously come out in support of moving forward, and cast his vote accordingly. Casey has portended to be a pro-life Democrat, though his voting record surely suggests otherwise.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke in favor of the bill earlier on the Senate floor and during a press conference beforehand, joined by Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) and the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT).

During the press conference, Schumer referred to the abortion issue as “a vital and important issue,” claiming they were standing “as a united front,” despite how Manchin ultimately voted against it. Of the vote to allow debate to take place, Schumer referred to it as a “simple but urgent question” while at the press conference.

Doctors Threatened With Punishment for Disagreeing With Official COVID Narrative

. . .Just the News reports that Democratic Assemblyman Evan Low’s AB 2098 would allow doctors’ statements, private or public, on COVID be analyzed and treated as “unprofessional conduct.”

Interestingly, though, the report documents that the bill “promotes long-outdated information about COVID deaths in unvaccinated vs. vaccinated, however, rather than updated Omicron variant figures.”

The punishment would be imposed, under the proposal, for disagreeing with “contemporary scientific consensus” on COVID-19.

The report explained the bill was joined by five other California Assembly and Senate members and opens doctors’ comments about COVID to review by the Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California. . .

The legislature’s summary states, “Existing law requires the applicable board to take action against any licensed physician and surgeon who is charged with unprofessional conduct.” (Read more from “Doctors Threatened With Punishment for Disagreeing With Official COVID Narrative” HERE)

More Evidence of Fraud: 200,000 Ballots From 2020 Counted With ‘Mismatched’ Signatures

Maricopa County, Arizona, officials admitted after the 2020 presidential election that there were some 25,000 ballots counted with mismatched signatures that weren’t reviewed, or in the language of the election industry, “cured.”

Actually, the number was more than 200,000.

That’s according to a study of the county’s mail ballots that year that was commissioned by the Arizona State Senate, explains a new report from Just the News.

The study of signature verification processes is just one of the outcomes of the 2020 presidential election ballot count that now is mired in multiple scandals.

What is known is that several individual influences probably changed the outcome, including the collusion by the legacy and social media organizations to suppress accurate – and damaging – information about the Biden family’s overseas businesses profits.

Democrats Who Won’t Build Border Wall Build Border Fence Around US Capitol (VIDEO)

After years of opposition to a southern border wall and even a government shutdown to prevent one, congressional Democrats have become fond of physical barriers on their own doorstep as they deprive Americans of the same protection.

On Sunday, the U.S. Capitol Police confirmed that the same perimeter fencing that surrounded the complex months after last year’s Jan. 6 riot would be restored ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday.

“Out of an abundance of caution, and in conjunction with the United States Secret Service, a plan has been approved to put up the inner-perimeter fence around the Capitol building for the State of the Union Address,” said Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger in a press release. “I have also requested support from outside law enforcement agencies as well as the National Guard to assist with our security precautions.”

The fencing was up in 2021 from January through July. It was last installed ahead of a rally for Jan. 6 defendants in September. The barrier’s resurrection comes as Washington, D.C., braces for a U.S. version of the Canadian trucker convoy in peaceful protest of dystopian coronavirus measures. Vehicles are expected to arrive in the capital throughout the week.

The Right ‘Loves Putin’ and Other Lies the Media Tell About Trump and Russia

What is it about Russia and Vladimir Putin that forces the American national media to lie, make things up, and blurt out statements that have no basis in reality? The latest fiction is that Republicans and conservatives have a newfound affinity for Putin.

If you only watched MSNBC or read The New York Times, you’d be forgiven for holding the impression that all of Fox News and the Republican party have draped themselves in Russian flags and set up GoFundMes for the invasion of Ukraine.

The Times on Sunday ran the headline, “How the American Right Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Russia,” by Emily Tamkin. According to the piece, the “American political right” has in recent years “shifted toward fawning praise for autocrats” and now views authoritarian regimes like Russia’s as “symbols of U.S. conservatism — a mirror for the right-wing worldview.”

That sounds awful! Tamkin’s examples of this “fawning praise for autocrats” include Tucker Carlson telling his audience to ask, “Why do I hate Putin so much?”; former President Trump referring to Putin as “smart” and “savvy”; and GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate J.D. Vance remarking in a recent podcast interview that “We did not serve in the Marine Corps to go and fight Vladimir Putin because he didn’t believe in transgender rights.” (Read more from “The Right ‘Loves Putin’ and Other Lies the Media Tell About Trump and Russia” HERE)
