Putin Issues Warning to the US if Ukraine Uses Western-Style Missiles

/3 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to the U.S. and its European allies that if Ukraine uses long-range missiles to reach the interior of Russia he will consider it an act of war by NATO countries.

During an interview, Putin stated Ukraine does not possess the capability to launch any high-precision weapons on its own and would need to rely on the U.S. or EU to provide the intelligence to execute any such strikes.

“The fact is that I have already mentioned this, and any expert will confirm that both in our country and in the West, the Ukrainian army is not able to strike with modern long-range precision systems of Western manufacture. It cannot do this. It can only do so using intelligence from satellites, which Ukraine does not have. This is data only from EU satellites or from the United States, in general, from NATO satellites,” Putin said.

Putin noted only NATO servicemen are able to enter flight assignments into these high-precision, long-range missile systems, and added if this decision to help Ukraine use these weapons is made, NATO would be declaring war with Russia.

“So, this is not about allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not. It’s about deciding whether NATO countries are directly involved in a military conflict or not. If this decision is made, it will mean nothing other than the direct participation of NATO countries… This would mean that NATO countries, the United States, European countries, are at war with Russia. And if that is the case, then bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will take appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us,” Putin said.

With Only Months Left in Term, Biden Is Starting to Run out of Options in Russia-Ukraine War

/1 Comment/in , /by

As the clock ticks down to January — the end of President Joe Biden’s sole term — the Biden-Harris administration is trying to figure out how to aid Ukraine against Russia with limited and dwindling options.

The Russia-Ukraine war has dragged on for more than two years, and though the Biden administration has devoted over $175 billion in economic and military aid to help Ukraine, it has done little to shift the tides in Kyiv’s favor. The Biden administration, unlikely to receive any more funding for aid from Congress, is looking at alternative choices including loosening weapons restrictions and allowing Ukraine to strike further inside of Russia, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The new policy would only apply to European and other Western weapons, not U.S. systems, according to multiple reports. Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted on Wednesday that such a move was on the table and strongly being considered.

Lifting the restrictions would represent a major shift in approach from the Biden administration, which has been wary of allowing Ukraine to use Western-provided weapons for deep strikes inside Russia up to this point.

But Ukraine is likely to want more from the Biden administration than being allowed to use European weapons for long-range strikes. Specifically, Ukraine wants to use American-made Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike Russia, given the high quality and range of the system, though the administration may be more unlikely to grant that request.

Parents Ask Supreme Court To Take Up Case Challenging School Policy Pushing ‘Gender,’ ‘Sexuality’ Books On Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of Christian, Muslim and Jewish parents in Maryland petitioned the Supreme Court Thursday to ask it to take up a case regarding school board policies that keep parents in the dark on books with themes about “gender” and “sexuality” being taught to children.

The case originates from the Montgomery County Board of Education (BOE) instituting an “inclusive” storybook program in 2022 for students in grades pre-K through fifth, initially informing parents of when they would be read until changing that policy in March 2023, also restricting parents’ ability to opt their kids out, according to a press release from the Becket Fund, a non-profit law firm representing the parents. Shortly after the Montgomery BOE announced the change in policy, the group of parents filed a lawsuit against the BOE in May 2023 and lost, and were denied again in May 2024 when they appealed to the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The storybooks include topics on gender transitioning, pride parades and preferred pronouns, according to the press release. One book includes terms like “intersex flag” and “drag queen.”

One book mentioned in the suit, called “Jacob’s Room to Choose,” includes two transgender children and a teacher who use a game to convince their class to be “supportive of gender-free bathrooms,” court document states. Another book titled “Pride Puppy,” directed at three and four-year-olds, describes a pride parade and has students identify images including “leather” and “underwear.”

“Most fundamentally, it violates the First Amendment, which guarantees the right of parents to direct the religious upbringing of their children,” Will Haun, an attorney for the Becket Fund, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Cause for Concern? Union for Postal Workers Endorses Kamala Harris

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), representing 290,000 active and retired postal workers, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President and Governor Tim Walz for Vice President. This endorsement is notable given the pivotal role the Postal Service will play in the upcoming election, handling millions of mail-in ballots.

The NALC’s endorsement highlights a troubling intersection of politics and election logistics. As the very institution responsible for managing a substantial portion of the voting process, the Postal Service’s support for a particular candidate could undermine public confidence in the electoral system. The endorsement of Kamala Harris, who has been a prominent advocate for expanding vote-by-mail and supported key legislative measures impacting the Postal Service, is particularly concerning.

Kamala Harris has a well-documented history of advocating for policies that favor increased access to vote-by-mail. Her tenure as a senator saw her championing relief measures for the Postal Service during the COVID-19 pandemic and supporting the Postal Service Reform Act as Vice President. While these actions might seem supportive on the surface, they also raise questions about whether such support is reciprocated in the form of endorsements from influential institutions like the NALC.

The endorsement by a major union also highlights a broader political divide on the issue of vote-by-mail. A Pew Research Center report reveals stark contrasts between Republican and Democrat views on this matter. While a significant majority of Democrats advocate for universal vote-by-mail, only a fraction of Republicans share this view. Many Republicans are concerned that expanding vote-by-mail could compromise election security, a sentiment reflected in their opposition to judicially mandated reforms that were frequently pursued by Democrats.

In many democracies around the world, vote-by-mail is either restricted or not widely used, often limited to specific circumstances. The United States’ reliance on this system, especially following changes imposed by judicial decisions and legislative reforms, diverges from global norms and introduces a host of potential vulnerabilities.

Biden Boasts: We Created ‘Black Jobs’

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden used the term “black jobs” on Friday, using a phrase that Democrats and journalists said was racist when former President Donald Trump used it to describe jobs taken by migrants from African-Americans.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, were both set to speak at the event.

In his remarks, Biden said:

Thank you for all you’ve taught me. Thank you for all the love you’ve extended to me. I also wanted to host this brunch because we have progress to celebrate.

Together, we’re making the most significant investment in black America in all of American history [sic]. We’ve centered racial equity at the center of everything we do. With your help, in just three and-a-half years we’ve created over 2 million new black jobs for black Am — black Americans, a black —

[Interjections]

By the way, the next black job to be filled is as President of the United States of America.

[Applause]

Watch me.

Florida Investigates Claims That Radical Abortion Group ‘Forged’ Signatures on Ballot Petition

/0 Comments/in , /by

Aradical abortion group in Florida allegedly forged petition signatures for a proposed abortion amendment. The Florida Department of State has launched an investigation.

“Our tolerance in the state of Florida for any type of election-related fraud is zero. We are not going to put up with it,” said Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in a roundtable Monday. “This group submitted dozens of petitions on behalf of dead people.”

Floridians Protecting Freedom is pushing for an abortion amendment that would change the state constitution to protect the murder of unborn children before “viability.” According to InfluenceWatch, the group is a coalition of abortion interest organizations like Planned Parenthood and ACLU Florida.

FPF’s paid circulators allegedly forged signatures on the amendment petition, and the Department of State’s Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS) is investigating the matter.

“The department of state has uncovered evidence of illegal conduct with fraudulent petitions,” said Mark Ard, the department’s director of external affairs, in a statement to The Federalist. “We have a duty to seek justice for Florida citizens who were victimized by fraud and safeguard the integrity of Florida’s elections.” (Read more from “Florida Investigates Claims That Radical Abortion Group ‘Forged’ Signatures on Ballot Petition” HERE)

Democrats’ Immigration Crisis Pushes Ohioans To The Breaking Point: ‘Who’s Protecting Us?’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Springfield, Ohio is a blue-collar town of roughly 60,000 residents with a story that’s familiar to dozens of Rust Belt communities across the Midwest that have been transformed by job loss, opioids, and now, open migration.

Schuler’s Bakery greets visitors on the south side of town, not far from the interstate, as a relic of resilience having withstood the challenges faced by a declining economy for decades. Founded in 1937, the local sweet spot can now be found in two locations offering customers the kinds of cakes and pastries that define the small-town memories carried for generations long after residents have left.

The donuts are so rich they can make the teeth ache, but the sugar high is immediately crashed when confronted with the image of a town forever changed by the flood of more than 20,000 Haitian migrants. The horizon from the bakery’s front door introduces visitors to a dilapidated community now presented with traffic hazards as Haitians crowd the streets and parking lots of a Rust Belt community turned into Little Haiti.

“They don’t know how to drive,” a local tow truck driver on the southwest side told The Federalist. “They don’t know how to go by our rules.”

The tow truck operator named David declined to offer a last name out of fear of reprisal to his business, but he made clear that the influx of newcomers has brought more havoc than money to the depressed blue-collar community that was already struggling.

The Hidden Reality of Late-Term Abortions the Media Claim Aren’t Happening

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In the ongoing debate over abortion, the media often skews the narrative to support pro-abortion ideologies, sometimes downplaying or outright denying the grim realities of late-term abortions. However, an unsettling truth occasionally surfaces, shedding light on the more disturbing aspects of this controversial issue.

A recent NBC News article featured an interview with Dr. Warren Hern, a prominent abortionist who has operated the Boulder Abortion Clinic in Colorado since 1975. Hern’s clinic specializes in second- and third-trimester abortions, including those performed at or beyond 32 weeks of gestation—approximately eight months into pregnancy. This revelation comes at a time when former President Donald Trump questioned Vice President Kamala Harris on her stance regarding abortions in the later stages of pregnancy.

Despite Hern’s claims to NBC News that he does not perform abortions in the eighth and ninth months, an in-depth interview with The Atlantic paints a more disturbing picture. Hern admitted to performing abortions up to and beyond 32 weeks, and even described cases where abortions were performed for reasons other than severe fetal anomalies. One such case involved a 35-week abortion after a diagnosis of brain anomalies—a procedure the patient described as “euthanasia,” saying, “I put my baby down.”

This disclosure is profoundly troubling. While many media outlets attempt to frame late-term abortions as rare and primarily driven by medical necessity, the reality is far more unsettling. Hern’s own accounts reveal that a significant portion of late-term abortions are performed for reasons that do not involve fatal fetal conditions. He admitted to conducting abortions for reasons such as sex selection, a practice that underscores the troubling reality of how some late-term abortions are performed based on personal preference rather than medical need.

The data supporting these practices is equally alarming. According to NBC News, only a handful of abortion clinics across the United States perform abortions after 28 weeks. However, the pro-abortion organization Abortion Finder estimates that there are up to eight clinics that perform abortions as late as 35 weeks—just shy of the beginning of the ninth month of pregnancy. This suggests that thousands of unborn babies are being terminated well past the point of viability, where they could potentially survive outside the womb.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 2021, 1% of legal abortions occurred after 21 weeks of pregnancy, translating to over 6,000 late-term abortions that year alone. The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute estimates that in 2023, more than one million abortions were performed, indicating a troubling increase in late-term procedures, potentially exceeding 10,000.

The term “late-term abortion” itself is contested. Pro-abortion groups often reject the term, redefining it to include abortions performed up to 41 weeks, or past full-term. The pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, on the other hand, defines late-term abortion as any procedure performed later in pregnancy, typically when the baby can survive outside the womb, often around 22 weeks or earlier.

The graphic details provided by The Atlantic about Hern’s methods further emphasize the brutality of late-term abortions. The procedures described involve the removal of fetal remains in parts when the fetus is still intact, a stark reminder of the physical and emotional toll these procedures exact on both the unborn and the mothers involved.

As these unsettling facts come to light, it is crucial for the public to confront the harsh realities of late-term abortion practices. The pro-life movement must continue to advocate for the protection of the unborn at all stages of development and demand greater transparency from both the media and medical professionals involved in these procedures.

New York Times: It’s Ok to ‘Help’ Your Mentally Incapacitated Relatives Complete Their Ballots

/1 Comment/in , /by

The New York Times encouraged a reader last week to “help” a 97-year-old woman with advanced memory loss — who is “becoming nearly impossible to communicate with” — to complete her ballot.

“When the situation is hazy, my inclination would be to err on the side of helping someone to vote, because voting is such a central form of civic participation,” wrote the Times’ “Ethicist” Columnist Kwame Anthony Appiah. . .

A reader wrote the Times, saying the grandmother has “advanced” Alzheimer’s and hearing loss. The reader wanted to know if it would be “unethical” to help the elderly woman vote in November, likely having the grandma do “the mechanics of voting” while family members “advise her.”

The reader claimed to have helped the grandmother fill out her absentee ballot in 2020.

“She held the pen while we did our best to explain each office and issue. If there was any confusion, we would tell her how we voted, and she would do the same,” the reader wrote. “Is it unethical to help her vote again this November?” (Read more from “New York Times: It’s Ok to ‘Help’ Your Mentally Incapacitated Relatives Complete Their Ballots” HERE)
