Big Change to Russian Nuclear Doctrine Now Allows Putin to Use Nukes in Ukraine

/13 Comments/in , /by

Just days after the United States allowed Ukraine to use its long-range missile for deep strikes within Russian territory; President Vladimir Putin has approved changes to his country’s nuclear doctrine.

The changes to the nuclear doctrine have been approved by Putin on Tuesday.

The most noticeable change is that it expands the conditions under which nuclear weapons can be used by Moscow.

To put things into perspective, Russia can now use nuclear weapons in instances when a non-nuclear state supported by nuclear power attacks its area.

The timing suggests that it is the U.S. President Joe Biden’s approval to Kyiv for using the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) for deep strikes within Russian territory that has brought about this shift in the Russian nuclear doctrine.

Russia Begins Mass Production of Radiation-Resistant Bomb Shelters

/5 Comments/in , /by

These bomb shelters are designed to protect against radiation and natural disasters.

And they’re now being mass produced in Russia, the country’s emergency ministry research institute has said.

That announcement coming as U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration agreed to allow Ukraine to fire American long range missiles deep into Russia.

Though the research institute did not link the production increase to any current crisis.

The ”KUB-M” shelter is said to defend against a variety of threats including shrapnel, debris and fires. (Read more from “Russia Begins Mass Production of Radiation-Resistant Bomb Shelters” HERE)

Bombshell Poll Reveals Majority of Ukrainians Think ‘Territorial Concession Required’

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than two years of death and destruction later, the majority of Ukrainians want the country to negotiate to end the war with Russia immediately.

A new poll released Tuesday revealed that 52% of Ukrainians want peace to be negotiated as soon as possible and nearly four in 10 Ukrainians (38%) want the country to fight until victory, according to a Gallup poll conducted between August and October.

The current attitudes toward the war reflect a massive shift from the overwhelming view at the beginning of the conflict.

The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians wanted to fight until victory (73%) after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in the immediate months after the war.

Support for the fight did not appear to slip in 2023, though more than twice as many Ukrainians at the time wanted to continue fighting (63%) over negotiating peace (27%). (Read more from “Bombshell Poll Reveals Majority of Ukrainians Think ‘Territorial Concession Required’” HERE)

Even Biden’s Homeland Security Admits That Violent Migrant Crime Is Exploding

/0 Comments/in , /by

The brutal Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has now expanded to at least 16 states and Washington, DC, per an internal Homeland Security memo.

The district, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming are the latest additions to the ever-growing list of states suffering the gang’s presence. . .

Make no mistake: This is not anti-migrant scaremongering, as the left might claim; it comes from officials at Alejandro Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security, the very agency that’s not only failed to keep violent gangs out of the country but has virtually invited them in.

President Biden’s come-one, come-all border policies, which DHS oversees, opened the doors to millions of migrants, including gang members entering thanks to the paucity of vetting.

So much for the countless claims from the prez and Mayorkas that the border is secure or at least “under control”; now even DHS itself admits (to itself, anyway) that migrant crime and violence are exploding.

Brazil’s First Lady Swears While Insulting Elon Musk During G20 Event, Billionaire Reacts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The first lady of Brazil turned heads when she dropped an f-bomb directed at Tesla CEO Elon Musk during an official event over the weekend.

At the time, Brazil’s first lady, Janja Lula da Silva, was speaking about misinformation on social media during a pre-G20 social event on Saturday. The G20 summit began on Monday in Rio de Janeiro.

Lula, who is married to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, stopped mid-speech when she heard a ship’s horn blaring in the distance.

“I think it’s Elon Musk,” the first lady joked in Portuguese. “I’m not afraid of you, by the way.”

“F–k you, Elon Musk,” Lula added in English, prompting cheers from the audience. (Read more from “Brazil’s First Lady Swears While Insulting Elon Musk During G20 Event, Billionaire Reacts” HERE)

FEMA Director Says Criticism of Agency Is Misinformation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Instead of taking responsibility for the slow and apparently politically motivated response to disaster relief after hurricanes Milton and Helene, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Director Deanne Criswell criticized what she deems to be the spread of “misinformation” in a House hearing on Tuesday.

Following reports of former FEMA official Marn’i Washington directing her disaster response team to avoid the homes of Trump supporters, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure held a hearing giving Criswell an opportunity to answer for the political response from her agency.

“This type of behavior and action will not be tolerated at FEMA, and we will hold people accountable if they violate our standards of conduct,” Criswell said at the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management hearing, indicating that the political response was isolated to Washington’s Florida team, and not “indicative of any widespread cultural problems at FEMA.”

While Criswell also said that preliminary findings in the investigation launched after the Washington revelations have not found similar issues, Washington herself has been making her way around the media circuit claiming that her actions were being passed down through the chain of command. (Washington’s position, according to Criswell, is the “lowest level of supervision.”)

While many are skeptical that the issue is isolated given the Biden administration’s politicization of other federal agencies, Criswell and Democrat allies focused their responses heavily on combatting “misinformation” as being at the root of the issue.

Mike Johnson to Block Transgender Staff From Women’s Bathroom in Capitol

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has privately committed to back an effort led by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to block biological men from using women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

Mace announced Monday she would introduce a resolution to ban transgender women (biological men) from using biological women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.

Johnson, during Tuesday morning’s weekly House Republican Conference meeting, said transgender women won’t be allowed to use women’s restrooms in the Capitol, Politico reported.

“He said there’s not going to be any biological men using our restrooms,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told Politico.

Mace confirmed Greene’s account, telling Axios that Johnson “said to me last night that he would include it in House Rules.”

We All Know Why The Biden DOJ Is Ignoring Pennsylvania Democrats’ Election Lawbreaking

/0 Comments/in , /by

Attorney General Merrick Garland talks a lot about voting rights. In August, he promised the Justice Department would “use every authority we have to protect the right to vote.” In 2021, he said the department would “rededicate” itself to “enforcing federal law to protect the franchise for all eligible voters.”

This past week, a handful of Pennsylvania counties disenfranchised voters by choosing to count illegal ballots that canceled out legal votes. It’s a massive scandal.

As Democrat Sen. Bob Casey is refusing to concede a losing race to his Republican challenger Dave McCormick, officials in Bucks, Philadelphia, Monroe, Erie, Chester, and Montgomery Counties have flouted the law in an apparent attempt to deliver Casey some extra votes. But the DOJ is nowhere to be seen.

In Bucks County, election officials decided to count more than 400 undated or improperly dated ballots, and 100 ballots that failed to meet signature requirements. In Philadelphia County, officials are accused of counting more than 600 invalid ballots that failed to comply with the date requirement, as well as 663 ballots missing signatures from election officials, 227 ballots missing a reason for casting a provisional ballot, and 50 with insufficient voter affidavits.

In Monroe County, McCormick sued the elections board for 42 ballots that didn’t meet date requirements and 24 provisional ballots lacking voter signatures. Erie County and Chester County face lawsuits for counting 120 ballots and 58 ballots, respectively, that lack election officials’ signatures. In Montgomery County, McCormick is suing the elections board for counting 414 provisional ballots that lack signatures from either the voter or election officials.

Biden Spends Last Months In Office Gambling Risk Of Nuclear War With Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden may just have made his riskiest wager yet in the years-long Russia-Ukraine war — while incoming President Donald Trump continues to call for a swift end to the conflict.

Ukrainian forces launched U.S.-provided long-range missiles into Russian territory on Tuesday after recently receiving approval from Biden officials, though the White House refuses to publicly confirm that it gave Kyiv permission to do so, according to various reports. While it is unclear how U.S. officials are betting the new move will work in Ukraine’s favor, it’s unlikely to quell tensions or make it any easier to end the war in the coming months, something Trump has vowed to do by January.

“It’s essential to understand,” former Pentagon official Elbridge Colby said on Monday, that the Biden administration “is leaving a terrible situation [for Trump].”

Until this weekend, Biden and his administration have refused to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles for deep strikes inside Russia, citing that it would risk escalating the war, prompt Russia to respond erratically and fail to provide Ukraine with any tangible strategic advantage. That changed over the weekend when reports emerged that U.S. officials gave Kyiv the green light to start using American surface-to-surface Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMs) for such strikes, apparently at least in part due to Russia’s decision to deploy North Korean soldiers along the front lines of the war.

While he refused to confirm any details on record, White House National Security Advisor Jon Finer told reporters Sunday that Russia had been “putting fuel on the fire” of the war and that the battlefield conditions were subject to “evolve and change.” (Read more from “Biden Spends Last Months In Office Gambling Risk Of Nuclear War With Russia” HERE)

Biden Admin Obstructing Investigations Into Trafficking, Exploitation Of Migrant Children, Report Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden-Harris administration is obstructing congressional and state investigations into the exploitation and trafficking of unaccompanied alien children, a Senate committee report found.

Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, a ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, released a report Tuesday that accuses the Biden-Harris administration of widespread “failures” that ultimately led to widespread abuse and exploitation of migrant children. The report also accused the White House of “stonewalling” Congressional oversight into its handling of these unaccompanied alien children and obstructing other state investigations.

“When Ranking Member Cassidy attempted to hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable, the administration made every effort to cover its failures up and to stonewall each new oversight effort — a course of action that continues today,” the report said.

“The administration also refuses to comply with state-level efforts to investigate and prevent the trafficking and exploitation of [unaccompanied children] caused by its own weak sponsor vetting policies and the chaos,” the report said.

The report cited instances when Cassidy’s office “routinely” submitted letters to Health and Human Services (HHS) requesting information on the care that unaccompanied children receive within the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the vetting of sponsors, and how ORR operates to ensure these migrant children are safe after their release. However, the report claims HHS would repeatedly take months to respond to these requests — and sometimes the department would not respond at all.
