I cry every day. I’m very tired.” Thursday, Vasnetsova posted a picture of her food tray. On it sat a bit of plain pasta, some charred meat, a sprinkling of potatoes,

A New York Times fact-checker said in court Monday that she didn’t look over the assertion in a 2017 editorial of a clear link between a map circulated by Sarah Palin’s political action committee and the 2011 mass shooting that wounded Rep. Gabby Giffords. Eileen Lepping, who appeared at Palin’s Manhattan federal court trial against the Times via video, said the error could be attributed to a “combination of things,” including her working quickly because she was on deadline. Lepping was responding to questions by Judge Jed Rakoff, who asked her about the fact-checking process
Emmanuel Macron sat down for a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow today, becoming the latest Western leader to try and find a diplomatic route out of the Ukraine crisis, as he sat at least ten feet away from the Russian leader with the help of a massive table.President Putin was back at the Kremlin following his diplomatic foray to get support from China over the weekend during the Winter Olympics. It was unclear whether the length of the table was an intended distancing measure because of Covid.Commentators suggested that Mr Putin was trying to highlight the wide gulf between the two men as they discussed the growing crisis
After three months of living in her new home in Chicago, Safia is struggling to figure out how to navigate the U.S. immigration system.Safia, 30, fled her native Afghanistan in August after the Taliban seized political power. She thought her work to empower women in Afghanistan tied to the U.S. made her eligible for a Special Immigrant Visa, but she later learned she will likely have to apply for asylum.“Most of the people don’t know about this process,” said Safia, who asked that her full name not be used because her family remains in Afghanistan. “They just think that, OK, U.S. helped us to come to America,

Lesson From Arizona Gubernatorial Hopeful
Kari Lake 2 replies
Kari Lake is a former news anchor running for governor of Arizona as a Republican. She made national news last year when she resigned from her position at Fox 10 News in Phoenix after 22 years. In a two-and-a-half-minute video, Lake articulated her frustration with the journalism profession. She noted the lack of viewpoint diversity and talked about getting handed content that she viewed as slanted or incomplete. Her comments on the industry should have been a warning to her former colleagues. Lake knows how the sausage is made and will not get tripped up easily.
President Joe Biden confirmed on Monday that there will be no Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia invades the Ukraine although he did not detail how that would be accomplished.Biden made his remarks in a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Germany would be one of the biggest benefiters of the pipeline. The country relies on 50% of its natural gas supply from Russia. 'If Russia invades - that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine again - then there will no longer be Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it,' Biden said.But when pressed as to how that would happen -

Former Breitbart head and Trump advisor Steve Bannon is under investigation by the feds and it looks like his already unenviable situation might be even worse than it looks on its face.Now, according to a recently filed court document, the very feds that are charging him are also attacking his ability to defend himself by snooping on one of his lawyers.That document, a motion to compel discovery on the issue of whether his lawyer is, in fact, being spied upon by the government includes numerous shocking claims, which, if true, shine a light on just how far Team Brandon will go to attack political dissidents.

Exclusive: Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin was hit Monday with an ethics complaint over his failure to properly disclose stock shares that his wife – President Biden's nominee to be the Federal Reserve's top banking regulator – received for her work at a Colorado-based financial technology company. The American Accountability Foundation, a conservative ethics watchdog, said in a complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics that Raskin had violated federal financial disclosure reporting obligations by waiting too long to report a huge stock payout that his wife, Sarah Bloom Raskin, received in December 2020. Jamie Raskin disclosed information about the transaction in August 2021 – eight months after Sarah Bloom Raskin

The National Archives was forced to retrieve boxes of official White House records from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida - including letters from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un - that had been improperly removed by the ex commander-in-chief.The documents and gifts, which should have been turned over to The National Archives and Records Administration at the end of Trump's presidency, were retrieved by the agency last month, three people familiar with the visit told the Washington Post. Trump and his team took the documents because they reportedly were not following document preservation rules.
Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan went on all the networks on Sunday, stoking up the concern about a potential invasion of Ukraine by Russia.But when he went on Fox, he faced some real questions from host Martha MacCallum about why Joe Biden had aided and abetted Russia with the moves that he has made regarding energy.Now, we see a lot of liberal media giving the Biden Administration a pass when it comes to their bad moves on energy, but MacCallum had the facts and was loaded for bear with them in the interview. (Tweet/Video) MacCallum asked why didn’t Biden restart the Keystone XL pipeline and oil drilling leases,
The great migration during the pandemic has seen Americans flee high-tax Democrat-run states and flock to Republican-led low-tax or no-income-tax states, a study by The Tax Foundation found. 'People move to states with low-income tax for a multitude of reasons, sometimes it's the most direct and obvious reason that it reduces their own tax liability,' the vice president of state projects at the Tax Foundation, Jared Walczak, told Yahoo. 'Especially now that people have more capacity to move where they want, that will be a higher priority for some,' he added.

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity." The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."
Canada’s capital declared a state of emergency Sunday as police struggled to rein in ongoing protests against vaccine mandates. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who declared the emergency, said in a statement that the increasingly rowdy demonstrations posed a “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents.” Hundreds of trucks continued to occupy the downtown area near Canada’s parliament with no sign that the protesters planned to leave. The protests started in reaction to Canadian and U.S. laws that went into effect in January, requiring truckers crossing the border to be fully vaccinated. They have since morphed into
Aspen is hosting the National Brotherhood of Skiers, which is advertised to be “the largest black ski group in the United States.”
That’s nice. Welcome to Aspen, my friends.
A hearty welcome was not enough, however, for Mike Kaplan, the liberal white CEO of Aspen Skiing Company. He found it necessary to issue a memo to all employees instructing them how to behave around black people.
Kaplan instructed employees to greet the black guests “lovingly and intentionally.” He says employees ordinarily treat all guests this way but instructed them “to make an even greater effort” with the black ones. He goes on to tell employees the reason for this special effort for blacks.
Comedian Heather McDonald collapsed on stage at The Tempe Improv in Arizona on Saturday night. McDonald had just delivered her second joke of the evening before falling to the floor and requiring medical attention. The 51-year-old comedian shared updates with her fans to Instagram following the scary incident, which was initially reported by TMZ. McDonald's second joke of the show, which she headlined, poked fun at the unvaccinated and made light of the ongoing pandemic. 'I'm vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted… and flu shot, and shingle shot, and haven't gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most,' she stated. Following the line's delivery, Heather collapsed to the floor and hit

Scientists are on the cusp of the 'biggest ever' breakthrough in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.UK researchers have developed a two-in-one treatment that could dramatically improve survival and even cure the disease, which is one of the deadliest cancers.Survival rates for pancreatic cancer have barely improved in the last 50 years and it has the worst prognosis of any common cancer.In tests, mice given the new therapy – a combination of two treatments already used in hospitals – lived up to 40 per cent longer.
An American-born figure skater who renounced her US citizenship to compete for China at the Winter Olympics is being slammed on the country’s most popular social media app Sunday after a disappointing performance. Zhu Yi, 19, who skated onto the ice to cheers, fell twice during the women’s short program team event, knocking the host country down from third to fifth place. “Zhu Yi has fallen” immediately became the top trending topic on Weibo — the Chinese equivalent of Twitter — after her poor showing, racking up 200 million views in mere hours, according to CNN.

Consider what John Kirby, a spokesman for the Pentagon, said a couple of days ago at a press briefing. “We believe,” Kirby said, that Russia is planning to stage a fake attack by Ukrainian military or intelligence forces against Russian sovereign territory, or against Russian speaking people,” in order to justify an invasion of Ukraine. Kirby had lots of details: “We believe that Russia would produce a very graphic propaganda video, which would include corpses and actors that would be depicting mourners, and images of destroyed locations, as well as military equipment,
Johns Hopkins university this week dropped a quiet bombshell of an article that went widely ignored in the mainstream media.
Dr. Marty Makary, spearheading a team at Johns Hopkins to do the work that the CDC and NIH refuse to do, showed that 99% of unvaccinated people known to have Covid infections had robust “natural immunity” that did not diminish for at least 650 days.
