/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden said Sunday he was not calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be removed from office, in a speech he delivered Saturday in Poland.

Back in the United States, reporters shouted a question to the president about his speech as he attended church Sunday evening in Washington, DC.

“Mr. President, do you want Putin removed? Mr. President, were you calling for regime change?” a reporter shouted.

“No,” Biden replied before entering his presidential limousine and motorcading back to the White House.

The president’s response is the first time he personally addressed his comment that shocked the world after he said Russian President Vladimir “cannot remain in power.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Now Says He Was Not Calling for Regime Change in Russia” HERE)

White House Walking Back Biden’s Remarks on Removing Putin From Power Doesn’t Quiet the Chatter

By Townhall. After President Joe Biden during his Saturday speech in Warsaw called for removing Russia’s Vladimir Putin from power, the White House has since walked back the president’s remarks. “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden had said. These remarks came even after the White House, in the form of remarks from both White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Secretary of State Antony Blinken had earlier this month that it was not the administration’s position to support regime change.

Shortly after the speech, Wall Street Journal reporter Tarini Parti tweeted back a response from the White House. The response in part claimed that Biden “was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change,” even Biden himself had clearly said “this man cannot remain in power,” referring to Putin.

In case there’s any question, Putin heard Biden’s calls for regime change, as Marisa Schultz reported for Fox News, citing Rebekah Koffler, a Russian-born former Defense Intelligence Agency officer, who said “Putin heard loud and clear a call for regime change.”

Tellingly, this line wasn’t even planned, and came as a surprise to more than those just following along on Twitter. Ed Wheelan highlighted as much at length in a Twitter thread, as he too raised concerns about the potential ramifications for Biden’s remarks.

Newsweek: Russia is Avoiding Civilian Targets, Used Far Less Total Ordinance than U.S. Did in One Day in Iraq

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Russia’s conduct in the brutal war tells a different story than the widely accepted view that Vladimir Putin is intent on demolishing Ukraine and inflicting maximum civilian damage—and it reveals the Russian leader’s strategic balancing act. If Russia were more intentionally destructive, the clamoring for U.S. and NATO intervention would be louder. And if Russia were all-in, Putin might find himself with no way out. Instead, his goal is to take enough territory on the ground to have something to negotiate with, while putting the government of Ukraine in a position where they have to negotiate. . .

In nearly a month since Russia invaded, dozens of Ukrainian cities and towns have fallen, and the fight over the country’s largest cities continues. United Nations human rights specialists say that some 900 civilians have died in the fighting (U.S. intelligence puts that number at least five times UN estimates). About 6.5 million Ukrainians have also become internally displaced (15 percent of the entire population), half of them leaving the country to find safety. . .

But, the analyst says, the damage associated with a contested ground war involving peer opponents shouldn’t blind people to what is really happening. (The analyst requested anonymity in order to speak about classified matters.) “The heart of Kyiv has barely been touched. And almost all of the long-range strikes have been aimed at military targets.”

.. .In the analyst’s view, though the war has led to unprecedented destruction in the south and east, the Russian military has actually been showing restraint in its long-range attacks.

As of the past weekend, in 24 days of conflict, Russia has flown some 1,400 strike sorties and delivered almost 1,000 missiles (by contrast, the United States flew more sorties and delivered more weapons in the first day of the 2003 Iraq war). The vast majority of the airstrikes are over the battlefield, with Russian aircraft providing “close air support” to ground forces. The remainder—less than 20 percent, according to U.S. experts—has been aimed at military airfields, barracks and supporting depots. (Read more about Russia avoiding civilian targets HERE)

Biden Approval Rating Tumbles to Lowest of Presidency: Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s job-approval rating has plummeted to the lowest of his White House tenure — and seven in 10 Americans lack confidence in the commander-in-chief’s ability to handle the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a survey released Sunday found. ​

The number of Americans who approve of Biden’s actions since he took the helm of the country in January 2021 has fallen to 40% – the lowest of his presidency and a dramatic 13 percentage-point drop from April 2021, the NBC News poll shows.

The poll was conducted between March 18 and 22, before Biden left for his trip to Europe, where he met with allies, visited US troops in Poland and declared that Russian leader Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

The survey indicates that Americans don’t have faith in his leadership amid the Ukraine crisis, with 71% saying they have “just some” or “very little” confidence in Biden’s ability to respond to the war — including 43% of Democrats.

An overwhelming number of Americans — 82% — also say they are concerned that the war will ultimately result in the use of nuclear weapons, 74% fear US troops will end up fighting in Ukraine, and 83% worry the war will continue to cause price hikes for gasoline and other goods and services.

Army Discharges More Soldiers for Refusing COVID Shot

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amid the exposure of Defense Department data indicating an astonishing spike in serious illnesses and injuries correlating with the COVID vaccine rollout, the Army said it has now discharged 27 soldiers for refusing an order to receive the COVID-19 shots.

The service said Thursday another 24 soldiers had been discharged in recent days, reported the Epoch Times.

The Air Force has separated 212 airmen, as of March 15, while the Navy said Wednesday it has discharged 652 sailors.

Meanwhile, as WND reported, three Department of Defense whistleblowers have presented evidence from the Defense Military Epidemiological Database that shows a nearly 1,000% increase overall in diseases and injuries in 2021 compared to the previous five years.

An Army flight surgeon testified in federal court that she was ordered by high-level command not to discuss the controversy over the Defense data. (Read more from “Army Discharges More Soldiers for Refusing COVID Shot” HERE)

Ex-FDA Adviser: Agency Ignoring Requirement to Disclose COVID-Shot Risks

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former adviser to the FDA commissioner who continues to serve in an oversight role says the agency is ignoring its requirement to disclose clear safety and efficacy problems with the COVID-19 vaccines.

David Gortler wrote in a column Friday for the Federalist that, for example, the FDA, Centers for Disease Control, Pfizer and Moderna have known from the beginning about myocarditis and pericarditis risks from the mRNA vaccines.

And there are many other adverse events reported in the tracking system run by the FDA and the CDC, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS.

Yet no formal warnings have been made to Americans, such as labeling and letters to warn physicians, pharmacists, or the American public.

“Why? One reasonable explanation is because it would counter the narrative that endless vaccines and boosters is your patriotic duty,” Gortler wrote. (Read more from “Ex-FDA Adviser: Agency Ignoring Requirement to Disclose COVID-Shot Risks” HERE)

Reports: Joe Biden’s Call for Regime Change in Russia Not Part of Prepared Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House confirmed Sunday that President Joe Biden’s call for regime change was not part of his prepared speech.

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said at the conclusion of his speech, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Biden’s quip prompted administration officials to scramble and walk back his comment in an effort to reassure the world that the United States was not calling for regime change in Russia.

Axios cites “a top official” who confirmed the line was not on Biden’s prepared text or on his teleprompter. The Washington Post cited “a person familiar with the speech” who also said Biden’s line was not planned.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden repeatedly campaigned on the idea that he would be a better president than President Donald Trump because of his understanding of the gravity of the presidency.

Stunner! Report Links Hunter Biden To Funding Pathogen Research, Bio Labs In Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. A stunning report from the Daily Mail on Friday linked the scandal-plagued Hunter Biden to financing a “U.S. military ‘bioweapons’ research program in Ukraine.”

Joe Biden’s son has been in the headlines over the last year or two for multiple scandals, such as his being paid tens of thousands of dollars a month from the Ukrainian Burisma gas company – even though he had no industry experience.

When he did have was a father who was vice president at that time for Barack Obama and in charge of U.S.-Ukraine policy. And Joe Biden later ordered the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor looking into corruption at Burisma.

But details about payments to the Biden family from Chinese and Russian interests, Hunter Biden’s dealings with prostitutes, and many other topics, have been revealed through a laptop he abandoned at a repair shop, which was turned over to the FBI, which is now investigating Hunter Biden’s taxes and international business dealings.

The Daily Mail, with access to a copy of that hard drive, said that the Russian government’s claims that “Hunter Biden helped finance a U.S. military ‘bioweapons’ research program in Ukraine” “may well be true.” (Read more from “Stunner! Report Links Hunter Biden To Funding Pathogen Research In Ukraine” HERE)

Hunter Biden Did Help Secure Millions In Funding For US Contractor In Ukraine Specializing In Deadly Pathogen Research, Laptop Emails Reveal, Raising More Questions About The Disgraced Son Of Then Vice President

By Daily Mail. Moscow’s claim that Hunter Biden helped finance a US military ‘bioweapons’ research program in Ukraine is at least partially true, according to new emails obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.

The commander of the Russian Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, claimed there was a ‘scheme of interaction between US government agencies and Ukrainian biological objects’ and pointed to the ‘financing of such activities by structures close to the current US leadership, in particular the investment fund Rosemont Seneca, which is headed by Hunter Biden.’

Intelligence experts say the Russian military leader’s allegations were a brazen propaganda ploy to justify president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and sow discord in the US.

But emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop show he helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases that could be used as bioweapons.

He also introduced Metabiota to an allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm, Burisma, for a ‘science project’ involving high biosecurity level labs in Ukraine.

BLM’s Charity Status at Risk Over Solicitation of Funds to Elect Democrats

/0 Comments/in , /by

The embattled national Black Lives Matter group used its charitable resources to solicit funds for its affiliated political action committee Tuesday, a move one expert called a “clear violation” of IRS charity rules.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the charity that represents the national BLM movement, voluntarily shut down its ability to raise money Feb. 2 following a Washington Examiner investigation into its lack of financial transparency that prompted multiple states to issue demands to the group to cease its fundraising activities.

Since then, BLM had refrained from using its email list to solicit contributions — until Tuesday, when it sent a message to its supporters that was signed “Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation” and contained what appeared at first glance to be a donation button to support the charity.

When clicked, however, the donation button sends supporters to a fundraising page for Black Lives Matter PAC, BLM’s affiliated political group that has worked to elect Democrats across the country since its launch in October 2020.

“BLM PAC is preparing for the most critical midterm election yet. Every single race is an opportunity to build Black political power,” the fundraising page linked in BLM’s charitable email states. “If you’re ready to continue the electoral fight for Black lives, chip in to our efforts and start building for the 2022 midterms.” (Read more from “BLM’s Charity Status at Risk Over Solicitation of Funds to Elect Democrats” HERE)

Did Biden Just Say He’s Sending US Troops to Ukraine?

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a visit to Rzeszów, Poland Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden told members of the 82nd Airborne Division they would soon see the destruction inflicted on Ukraine by Russia — first hand.

“You know, with the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian people have a lot of backbone. They have a lot of guts. And I’m sure you’re observing it. And I don’t mean just their military, which is, we’ve been training since back when they, Russia moved into the, in the southeast, southeast Ukraine, but also the average citizen. Look at how they’re stepping up. Look at how they’re stepping up,” Biden said. “And you’re going to see when you’re there. And you, some, some of you have been there. You’re going to see, you’re going to see women, young people standing, standing the middle of, in front of a damn tank, just saying, ‘I’m not leaving. I’m holding my ground.’”

Up until now, Biden has been adamant that while U.S. troops will defend “every inch of NATO,” they will not be deployed to Ukraine.
