After Banning Trump for Denouncing Violence, Twitter Lets Putin Keep His Account

/1 Comment/in , /by

Invading another nation, bombing hospitals, and killing civilians is not enough to get you kicked off of Twitter, but calling for peace and order will get you banned.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Twitter account, which has 1.5 million followers, remained active as of Friday, as Putin’s forces continue their invasion of Ukraine and attacks on the Ukrainian people. Ukrainian authorities have reported more than 2,000 civilian deaths, with attacks on residential areas and maternity hospitals. Meanwhile, Putin used his Twitter account to spread propaganda about the conflict, calling the invasion a “special military operation to protect Donbass.”

The Big Tech website’s rules claim to “prohibit the glorification of violence,” but Twitter is less interested in going after foreign aggressors than policing speech at home. Twitter locked and then permanently nuked former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account after he posted a video on Jan. 6, 2021, imploring rioters at the Capitol to “go home now” and that “we have to have peace.” Before that, a study showed Facebook and Twitter had already censored Trump 65 times.

Meanwhile, just Monday, U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., said Twitter suspended her account after she stated that “women’s sports are for women, not men pretending to be women.” (Read more from “After Banning Trump for Denouncing Violence, Twitter Lets Putin Keep His Account” HERE)

Biden White House on the Verge of Making Disastrous Move With Kamala Harris

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden White House is going to ask Kamala Harris to back into the game again? Bench this woman, please. For the sake of our intelligence and human civilization, just put her back into the cardboard box from whence she came. She has failed on the border. She failed in boosting COVID vaccination rates. Harris is a walking failure, who bleeds staff and fosters a toxic work environment. She doesn’t do the work and she doesn’t read the briefings her staff prepare for her, so she doesn’t look like an idiot. She botched the talking points about the sanctions slapped against Russia in the aftermath of their invasion of Ukraine. And now, the White House wants to send her to Poland? Does she even know where that is on the map (via The Hill):

The White House is actively discussing sending Vice President Harris to Warsaw, Poland, and Bucharest, Romania, in the coming days to show solidarity with Ukraine as it faces an escalating Russian invasion, sources familiar with the conversations tell The Hill.

The discussions involve sending Harris to visit troops stationed in Romania and potentially to the border with Ukraine, where a refugee crisis has seen more than 1 million people flee that country since the Russian attack.

The trip could happen in the coming weeks, one source said, adding that there is no active dialogue about sending President Biden to the region.

Senator Calls for Assassination of Putin

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham called for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.

“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” the senator wrote on Twitter. “The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country—and the world—a great service.

“The only people who can fix this are the Russian people. Easy to say, hard to do,” he continued. “Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate.” . . .

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called Graham’s remarks “an exceptionally bad idea,” calling for tougher economic sanctions and an increase in military aid to Ukraine. (Read more from “Senator Calls for Assassination of Putin” HERE)

Report: Chechen Jihadis in Syria Long to Join Ukraine War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Reports of Chechen involvement in Russia’s war on Ukraine are allegedly piquing interest among Chechens opposed to Moscow-supported warlord Ramzan Kadyrov to sign up on the Ukrainian side. Some of the vigorously anti-Russian Chechens are reportedly battle-hardened jihadi fighters from the Syrian civil war.

Kadyrov, an eccentric strongman and close ally of Russian leader Vladimir Putin who has cheerfully described himself as “Putin’s foot soldier,” announced Saturday his fighters had been dispatched to assist the Russian invasion of Ukraine and had already seen action.

Russian state television broadcast images that it claimed showed at least 12,000 Chechen fighters assembled in the regional capital of Grozny, supposedly mustering for their march to Ukraine.

Kadyrov said Putin “took the right decision” to attack Ukraine, and “we will carry out his orders under any circumstances.”

“As of today, as of this minute, we do not have one single casualty, or wounded, not a single man has even had a runny nose,” he boasted Saturday, although he admitted Tuesday that at least two of his troops had been killed, with “six more injured to various degrees.” (Read more from “Report: Chechen Jihadis in Syria Long to Join Ukraine War” HERE)

Top Russian General Reportedly Killed by Ukrainian Sniper; Russia Threatens to Execute Western Volunteers

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. One of Russia’s top generals was reportedly killed this week by a Ukrainian sniper.

Maj. Gen. Andrey Sukhovetsky, the deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of Russia’s Central Military District, was reportedly killed during a heated fight between Russian and Ukrainian forces, according to the Daily Mail. The report talks of a military source who said Sukhovetsky was killed “by a sniper,” noting a funeral is planned for Saturday.

Russia’s military has not confirmed the death, but Sergei Chipilyov of the Union Airborne Forces Union of Russian Paratroopers reacted to the news on social media.

“With great pain, we received the tragic news about the death of our friend, Major-General Andrey Aleksandrovich Sukhovetsky, in Ukraine during a special operation,” the post said, according to Newsweek. “We express our deepest condolences to his family.” (Read more from “Top Russian General Reportedly Killed by Ukrainian Sniper” HERE)

Russia Threatens to Execute Western Volunteers

By Washington Examiner. An influx of thousands of Western volunteers to fight against the Russian invasion of Ukraine has heartened Ukrainian officials while simultaneously spurring the Kremlin to issue a dire threat against the members of this growing force.

“None of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime in Kyiv can be considered as combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law or enjoy the status of prisoners of war,” said Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov on Thursday, per Russian state media.

That threat represented an emphatic effort to discourage the growing force, which has taken shape in response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for combat veterans from European countries to join the fight. About 16,000 people have volunteered, the Ukrainian leader announced as he touted their aid as a vivid example of the Western support against the Russian invasion.

“Ukraine receives weapons from its partners on a daily basis,” Zelensky said Thursday, according to an official translation. “From real friends. More and more powerful weapons every day. Ukraine is already meeting foreign volunteers who are going to our country. The first of 16,000. They are going to defend freedom. Defend life. For us. For all. And it will be successful. I’m sure.” (Read more from “Russia Threatens to Execute Western Volunteers” HERE)

Russia-Ukraine Agree to a Temporary Ceasefire

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukraine and Russia say they have agreed to temporary local cease-fires to create “humanitarian corridors” for the evacuation of civilians and delivery of vital supplies, as Russian forces encircled major port cities and advanced toward other population centers.

The details of the limited cease-fires — which followed a second round of talks Thursday — are still being worked out, officials said. Ukrainian leaders are warning that food, medicine and other essentials are running low in southern cities under siege. In Kherson by the Black Sea, one official warned of disaster within days unless a corridor opened. In coastal Mariupol, near the Russian border, the mayor said residents have “no light, water and heat.” (Read more from “Russia-Ukraine Agree to a Temporary Ceasefire” HERE)

Fear of Donald Trump Kept Putin From Invading Ukraine

/1 Comment/in , /by

A recent Harvard-Harris poll found that 62 percent of Americans believe that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were still in the Oval Office. As former senior intelligence officials under President Trump, we agree with that view.

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 when George W. Bush was president. Russia took Crimea in 2014 when Barack Obama was president. Russia has now invaded Ukraine with Joe Biden as president. However, when Donald Trump was president, Russia did not seize territory from any of its neighbors.

During his four years in office, Trump not only successfully deterred Russia from acting against Ukraine, he effectively deterred a lot of bad behavior across the planet. He focused on ending America’s foreign wars rather than launching new ones. At the same time, he brokered the Abraham Accords to expand peace in the Middle East.

The exercise of American power to deter adversaries is a complicated business. It involves a mix of military, economic, political, and diplomatic strategies and actions that together communicate the costs of threatening U.S. national interests.

Surgeon General Demands Big Tech Turn In Publishers of COVID ‘Misinformation’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s surgeon general on Thursday demanded that the major social media companies submit detailed information about the COVID-19 “misinformation” on their platforms.

The surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, wants to know “exactly how many users saw or may have been exposed to instances of Covid-19 misinformation.” In his notice, he also asked for aggregate data on demographic groups that may have been disproportionately affected by the misinformation, the New York Times reported.

With a deadline of May 2, Murthy also demanded the Big Tech companies provide information about the major sources of COVID-19 “misinformation,” including those selling “unproven” products, services and treatments.

“Technology companies now have the opportunity to be open and transparent with the American people about the misinformation on their platforms,” Murthy said in an emailed statement to the Times. . .

The Times noted that denying a request for information “does not carry a penalty, but the notice represents the first formal request from the Biden administration of the tech companies to submit Covid-19 misinformation data, according to the surgeon general’s office.” (Read more from “Surgeon General Demands Big Tech Turn In Publishers of COVID ‘Misinformation'” HERE)

Special Counsel Finds ‘Widespread Election Fraud’ in 2020 Nursing Homes

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Rampant fraud and abuse occurred statewide at Wisconsin’s nursing homes and other residential care facilities,” according to the Office of Special Counsel’s second interim report filed on March 1 with the Wisconsin Assembly. That conclusion represents but one of the key findings of election irregularities detailed in the nearly 150-page report—a report that also confirms the conclusion of the Racine County Sheriff’s office last fall that fraud occurred at nursing homes in Wisconsin.

Special Counsel Michael Gableman, the retired state Supreme Court justice appointed by the Wisconsin Assembly to investigate integrity concerns about the 2020 election, vetted more than 90 nursing homes in five different counties before concluding there was “widespread election fraud at Wisconsin nursing homes in November of 2020.”

According to the report, nursing home staff and administrators illegally handled absentee ballots, illegally assisted with “marking” residents’ ballots, illegally “witnessed” the voting, and possibly included forgery of the elderly residents’ signatures. Under Wisconsin law, these violations of the election code constitute fraud. (Read more from “Special Counsel Finds ‘Widespread Election Fraud’ in 2020 Nursing Homes” HERE)

WATCH: Eerie Drone Footage Reveals Bombing Devastation in Ukraine Town

/0 Comments/in , /by

Burnt out Russian trucks littered the main street of the Ukrainian town of Borodyanka, Thursday, after fierce fighting between residents and Russian troops.

Drone footage of the aftermath shows the town’s main street clogged with a dozen destroyed trucks, and fires still smoldering in skeletal high-rises.

A pile of torn-up Russian vehicles can be seen in front of the town’s post office, most burned beyond easy recognition.

One truck, still apparently intact, bears a white “V,” a similar marking to those seen on other Russian units in the region.

Down the road, a cluster of tall buildings is scorched by fire. Rooms blown open by Russian ordinance spill their contents into the street below. One nine-story building, across from the small-town’s community center, is nearly torn in two. A small town of 13,000 people, 35 miles northwest of Kyiv, Borodyanka was shelled Wednesday night, ahead of an approaching column of Russian forces.
