Google Maps Users Make Horrifying Discovery Deep Inside Russia

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Internet sleuths have made a horrifying discovery in the depths of Russia that they’ve labeled the “most depressing place ever”.

An eerie indentation on Google maps marks the spot of a former Gulag correctional labor camp in Krasnoyarsk Krai.

Found at 69°24’19°N 87°38’57°E, images show the hollowed ground where deconstructed buildings lie in piles of grey rubble.

An eagle-eyed online detective made the connection after seeing the ghostly image on Reddit.

They wrote: “It is indeed the Norillag labor camp. (Read more from “Google Maps Users Make Horrifying Discovery Deep Inside Russia” HERE)

Turns Out the Real Threat to ‘Norms’ Was the Clinton Presidential Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

From the perspective of several years ago, it’s the stuff of an implausible political thriller or a conspiratorial YouTube account. One presidential campaign spies on another as part of a broad effort to get government agencies to pick up the baton and launch a high-stakes investigation of the new president that hampers his first years in office and consumes massive public attention.

Where could such a thing happen? Maybe Brazil or Equatorial Guinea? Well, we now know it happened in these United States.

The latest from special counsel John Durham is that a tech executive connected to the Hillary Clinton campaign mined Internet contacts between Russia and the entities connected to Donald Trump in a search for material to try, as Durham put it in a court filing last week, to “establish ‘an inference’ and ‘narrative’ tying then-candidate Trump to Russia.”

Durham’s probe is a righteous effort to get to the bottom of a matter that deranged American politics for two solid years but has been derided or ignored by the mainstream press, with baleful consequences.

Russiagate did more than its share to undermine the norm that losing campaigns should accept the result of free-and-fair elections and to erode confidence in institutions at the highest levels of our government. One way to minimize the harm is to insist on accountability. The people who were most invested in Russiagate for the longest, though, are least interested in revisiting its origins, let alone in apologizing for their own credulousness or malice.

Justin Trudeau Invoked ‘Emergency’ Act Only After Biden Urged Canada to Use ‘Federal Powers’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in the country’s history to crack down on protests against his vaccine mandate — just days after the Biden administration urged him to use “federal powers.”

Last Thursday, several Biden administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, spoke to their counterparts in Canada as protesters closed the Ambassador Bridge.

The protests are part of nationwide demonstrations against the government’s imposition of vaccine mandates on truckers — a year after Trudeau called mandates ““extreme measures that could have real divisive impacts on community and country.” (Read more from “Justin Trudeau Invoked ‘Emergency’ Act Only After Biden Urged Canada to Use ‘Federal Powers’” HERE)

WATCH: Senate Hopeful Torches Biden’s Super Bowl-Sized Fails in ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Ad

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania Dave McCormick is running a “Let’s go Brandon” Super Bowl ad Sunday, highlighting the “self-inflicted” problems facing President Biden and his administration.

Fox News obtained McCormick’s 30-second ad, which is expected to air across NBC platforms during the Super Bowl in Pennsylvania.

The ad plays the “Let’s go Brandon” chant, as it shows headlines of issues plaguing the Biden administration — like rising inflation, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, a surge in crime, and record-high illegal border crossings.

The phrase, “Let’s go Brandon,” took the internet by storm in early October after an NBC reporter at a NASCAR Xfinity Series race incorrectly reported that fans in the stands were chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” following a victory by driver Brandon Brown, when they were really shouting, “F— Joe Biden!” The phrase has since become a popular anti-Biden rallying cry.

“The issues we are facing are so much bigger than ‘Brandon,’” McCormick told Fox News. “The frustration and anger we are feeling toward the failures of our current leadership in Washington is what motivated me to run.” (Read more from “WATCH: Senate Hopeful Torches Biden’s Super Bowl-Sized Fails in ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Ad” HERE)

Judge Dismisses Sarah Palin’s Defamation Suit Against New York Times

/0 Comments/in /by

On Monday, a federal judge stated that although the jury is still deliberating, he plans to dismiss the defamation lawsuit former GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin filed against The New York Times after it falsely suggested in a 2017 editorial that an ad circulated by Palin’s political-action committee triggered a mass shooting near Tucson, Arizona, in 2011 that left six people dead and 13 wounded.

Judge Jed S. Rakoff asserted that Palin’s legal team had not proven The Times acted with actual malice in its June 14, 2017 editorial, which was corrected the morning after it was published. On the day of the editorial, a gunman had opened fire at a baseball field where GOP congressmen were practicing; Congressman Steve Scalise was seriously wounded and others were injured.

The Times recalled on Monday, “The headline was ‘America’s Lethal Politics,’ and the editorial asked whether the Virginia shooting was evidence of how vicious American politics had become.”

“The paper’s editorial cited a ‘targets’ website created by Ms. Palin for the 2010 midterm elections that featured crosshairs over Democratic House districts, including Ms. Gifford’s. ‘The link to political incitement was clear,’ states a later-deleted line from the piece,” The Wall Street Journal noted when the lawsuit was filed in 2017.

Rakoff stated on Monday, “This is an example of very unfortunate editorializing on the part of The Times,” but added, “my job is to apply the law. … The law sets a very high standard for actual malice, and in this case the court finds that that standard has not been met,” The Washington Post reported. He noted he would continue to let the jury deliberate to a conclusion, though it would be dismissed and opined that Palin would likely appeal his decision, adding that an appeals court “would greatly benefit from knowing how the jury would decide” the case.

There Will Be No Invasion, Yet: Ukraine Officials Say President Was Being ‘Ironic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .US troops have been deployed to the region, and we’ve been warning Russia that an invasion would be met with severe consequences. They haven’t specified what that means. With Biden at the helm, it would most likely mean a lot of tough talk, or supposed tough talk, followed by nothing. It’s the Obama playbook post-annexation of Crimea. To make things even more insane, Ukrainian officials now say that Zelensky was being ironic about an invasion by Wednesday (via NBC News):

Hours after issuing a global statement saying he heard Russia would attack his country on Feb. 16, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy walked back the prediction on Monday, clarifying that he was referring only to media reports.

The first statement spooked the markets and led to widespread headlines and media reports.

“We are told that February 16 will be the day of the attack,” Zelenskyy said in a video statement posted on Facebook.

However, after his comments were taken by many at face value, his spokesman, Sergii Nykyforov, said that the president, who is a former comedian, was only saying what has been reported elsewhere.

Durham Reveals Spying on Trump Was Worse Than Watergate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway validated former President Donald Trump’s weekend claim that the latest revelations to emerge from the Durham probe expose the Russia hoax scandal as worse than Watergate.

On Friday, the latest filing from John Durham’s special counsel investigation alleged that the Hillary Clinton campaign paid tech workers to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House.

“It’s not just the president’s view that this is worse than Watergate,” Hemingway said on Fox News’ “MediaBuzz.” “If you want to remember what happened in Watergate, that was a relatively low-level break-in to a Democratic Party office and then a cover-up from the White House. … The spying operation against Donald Trump wasn’t just during the campaign, they were also spying on White House servers [and] Trump Tower while he was president.” (Read more from “Durham Reveals Spying on Trump Was Worse Than Watergate” HERE)

Biden-Putin Call Yields ‘No Fundamental Change’ In Russia-Ukraine Situation

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s 62-minute long phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin Saturday morning appeared to yield no major breakthroughs, with officials remaining concerned of an invasion into Ukraine.

The White House announced the weekend call Friday evening after a tense briefing with White House press secretary Jen Psaki and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. The administration said Russia asked to speak Monday, but their counter-proposal for Saturday was “accepted” by Putin.

The call, which coincides with Sullivan warning of the “very distinct possibility” of a Russian invasion, was described by a senior administration official as “professional and substantive.” Still, the official noted that there’s been “no fundamental change in the dynamic that has been unfolding now for several weeks.”

“We believe that we have put ideas on the table that would be in our and our allies interest to pursue that would enhance European security,” the official said while warning that it “remains unclear” whether Russia is interested in pursuing a diplomatic path.

Netflix ‘Cheer’ Star Pleads Down to 2 Charges in Child Sex Abuse Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jerry Harris, one of the stars of the 2020 Netflix series Cheer and a former Joe Biden campaign surrogate, pleaded guilty to only two federal charges relating to child sex abuse last week, according to reports.

The 22-year-old former cheerleader pleaded guilty in a federal court in Chicago to one count each of receiving child sexual abuse images and soliciting sex from minors, according to the Guardian.

The actor pleaded guilty to two of seven felony counts against him. The guilty pleas came for one count of convincing a child under 17 of sending explicit images via cell phone and a second count for the trip Harris took to Florida to meet the child for the purpose of “engaging in illicit sexual conduct.” Prosecutors dropped the remaining counts after Harris agreed to a plea deal.

Harris could be sentenced to 20 years for the child abuse images and 30 years for the act of illicit sexual conduct with a minor under 17 years old. He is scheduled to be sentenced in June.

Harris was arrested in Sept. of 2020 after the parents of one of the children the actor targeted had discovered the disturbing photos and videos that the actor had sent the boy on his cell phone. (Read more from “Netflix ‘Cheer’ Star Pleads Guilty to Charges in Child Sex Abuse Case” HERE)

Trump Says Clinton Operative Spying Allegations ‘Would Have Been Punishable by Death’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has accused operatives tied to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign of spying on him during his run for the presidency and while in the White House[.]

In a statement released on Twitter through his spokesperson on Saturday, Mr Trump said: “The latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert Durham provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia.”

He continues: “This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution. In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death. In addition, reparations should be paid to those in our country who have been damaged by this.”

Mr Trump said in a later statement on Twitter: “What Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left Democrats did with respect to spying on a President of the United States, even while in office, is a far bigger crime than Watergate. It will be interesting to see how it was covered by the media and what Mitch McConnell and the RINOs will be doing about it. This is an insult to the Republican Party, but a far greater insult to our Nation. Covered very powerfully this morning by Fox and Friends and, of course, Maria Bartiromo.” (Read more from “Trump Says Clinton Operative Spying Allegations ‘Would Have Been Punishable by Death’” HERE)
