rocked by shelling

A Russian invasion force of armoured tanks painted with a letter 'Z' and huge convoys were seen rolling towards the Ukraine border - as the eastern region continues to be rocked by shelling and British expats have vowed to 'fight like devils'. Around 200 military vehicles were spotted in Shebekino, Russia, just across the border from Ukraine's Kharkiv Oblast, with 'Z' markings 'applied hastily' to the backs of most vehicles.It is suspected the markings have been allocated for specific roles amid rising tensions over an imminent invasion, with footage showing the letters sprayed on tanks, self-propelled guns, fuel trucks and supply vehicles.

Donald Trump's policy of energy independence kept Vladimir Putin in check, according to the former president's Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland, who said on Thursday that President Joe Biden should have sanctioned Russia's oil and gas industry in the wake of his invasion of Ukraine.McFarland said she had deliberately chosen to wear yellow - one of the colors of the Ukrainian flag - when she appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida.After scores of Republicans accused Biden of weakness in failing to prevent Putin's attack, McFarland said Trump's energy policies had helped rein in Russian aggression.
Breitbart conservative writer and commentator John Hayward penned an epic thread on Twitter explaining the illusion of “Benevolent Authoritarianism” in connection to the spread of elitist dictatorial aspirations across the planet.Last week, Hayward began delving into the politics of control, writing, “Authoritarianism is the hottest political product in the world right now. Western elites believe their governments must become more dictatorial in order to compete with technocratic despotisms like China. Public submission is the most desired commodity.”He expanded on those musings in regards to “Benevolent Authoritarianism” and what that flawed philosophy actually entails in a thread on Twitter.
Heartbreaking images from Ukraine have emerged showing a man weeping over the body of his father among the wreckage of a missile strike despite Russian President Vladimir Putin claiming he declared war to 'protect civilians' after ordering an all out invasion this morning. Russia today launched simultaneous attacks from the south, east and north, by land and by air, killing at least 40 civilians by midday including a young boy in an apartment block in Kharkiv, Ukrainian authorities said.Other civilians were also injured and some others are believed to have died in 203 attacks launched so far by Russian forces, the Ukrainian police said after tanks rolled across the border
Thousands of political activists gathered for the opening of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday morning, as its organizer said its theme of 'awake not woke' captured the mood of people angry at being told what to do.Once again Donald Trump is the headline speaker as he seeks to retain his grip on the Republican Party ahead of run in 2024.His son Don Jr will close the event on Sunday afternoon, while likely 2024 contenders have other coveted slots such Gov Ron DeSantis - whose rivalry with Trump provides a key subplot - and Gov Kristi L. Noem of South Dakota.
What the h*** is going on? Katie wrote this up earlier today, but Biden’s presser was a disaster. He admitted that the sanction doesn’t scare Russia. We’re deploying another 7,000 troops to Germany. Yet, the one move that could be a gut punch move is booting Russia from the SWIFT banking system which will prevent them from doing international commerce. Why are we holding that card in reserve? Biden says the new sanctions he’s going to roll out are just as devastating. I don’t know about that, but we seem to be stuck in neutral. More troops to Europe and more sanctions. None of this is stopping the war

The GOP takes the spotlight this weekend at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, best known as CPAC. This year’s event is being held at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida, and will see former President Donald Trump headlining and delivering a prime-time speech on Saturday.The event has been cited as a platform for prospective 2024 Republican presidential candidates to launch their cases, as well as a crucial gathering ahead of this year’s midterm elections. And given the ever-growing divide within the Republican Party, the event is set to provide a glimpse into the GOP’s plans moving forward.
President Joe Biden on Thursday condemned Vladimir Putin for his invasion of the Ukraine and announced a series of new sanctions on Russian financial insitutitions that he said will have a 'severe' effect on that nation's economy.'Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war. And now he and his country will bear the consequences,' Biden said in remarks at the White House. He accused Putin of empire building with Thursday's invasion into the Ukraine. And he said he didn't underestimate the Russian leader.'He has much larger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to re-establish the former Soviet Union. That is what this is about,' the president said.
During their daily talk radio show last week, the nationally recognized team of Buck Sexton and Clay Travis, who have taken over the time slot formerly filled by the late radio legend Rush Limbaugh, zealously promoted their upcoming scheduled interview with former President Donald J. Trump.The team has an interesting dynamic to it as Buck is a former CIA agent and history buff while Clay is more known in the sports world as the founder of OutKick.com.
On Tuesday, President Trump hosted their interview at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.In addition to the lingering questions concerning the 2020 election results, tens of millions of Trump supporters listen closely

She had been considering the switch for six months and finally decided it was time.Appearing on Fox News Wednesday, Holman explained her move after being asked what the final straw was for her to ditch the Democrat Party.
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and gave a chilling warning to its allies in the West in an early Thursday morning address in Moscow.Explosions were heard in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, as Putin announced that Russia was launching a military attack on Ukraine.'To anyone who would consider interfering from the outside - if you do, you will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history,’ he said on a television broadcast around 6am Moscow time.The United Nations Security Council had just convened an emergency meeting Wednesday night when Putin took to Russian airwaves
Americans stuck in Ukraine fled the war-torn country on buses this morning after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded the country with a torrent of airstrikes that none of them thought would happen. DailyMail.com spoke with a group of 23 American citizens as they were being transported from Kiev to Romania in two vehicles - a minibus and a car - arranged by Bryan Stern, a 23-year Army and Navy veteran who saved 2,000 people from Kabul last year with his volunteer group Project Dynamo. He collected the American evacuees at 5am in Kiev while 'missiles fell from the sky' around them. They are now driving for 18 hours to Romania,
Wednesday, on the heels of reports that Russia had launched a “full-scale invasion” of Ukraine, former President Donald Trump proclaimed Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have acted in this way under his leadership.Trump blamed the Biden administration, and the show of what he suggested was weakness, which started with the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. “This is something that should have never happened,” he said. “This would not have happened during my administration. In fact, some people were saying, why didn’t this take place over the past four years during my administration?

Rosie and I met close to 15 years ago. She was introduced to one of my friends and remained on the periphery of our friendship circle for a really long time. She would be in a relationship when I wasn't in one and I'd be in a relationship when she was single.
I was a wild, unruly, beer-drinking football player and she was incredibly mature, really amazing and a total babe. She had her life together and it felt like she was completely out of my league.
Then in 2012, I had a really big heartbreak.
White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates hammered former President Donald Trump for heaping praise for days on Russian President Vladimir Putin. 'Two nauseating, fearful pigs who hate what America stands for and whose every action is driven by their their own weakness and insecurity, rubbing their snouts together and celebrating as innocent people lose their lives,' Bates tweeted from his official government account Thursday morning. Bates shared an article about Trump telling a crowd at Mar-a-Lago Wednesday night—as Putin began his assault on Ukraine—that the Russian leader was 'pretty smart.'(Snip)Later Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki hit back at Trump.
Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg's top political donors received millions of dollars in city contracts after giving thousands to his campaigns while he was mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Buttigieg's political action committees took money from 23 companies who then got jobs from South Bend's Board of Public Works on which he was seated, documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal.
On two occasions, the former presidential candidate received donations the same day the companies were awarded contracts.
Other city contractors gifted the mayor cigars, alcohol and golf trips worth hundreds of dollars. The companies, their executives and spouses donated a total $253,750 to Buttigieg's campaigns, and received a total of at least $33,280,426
Russian troops have invaded Ukraine from three directions in an all-out war. Ukrainians have had to rush into full civilian mobilization in an attempt to survive it. At stake is the post-Soviet world order that provided for at least some semblance of diplomatic engagement over use of arms between major powers.Those life-and-death issues aren’t the big priority, at least not to former Secretary of State John Kerry. This morning, he expressed hope on BBC Arabic that Putin will remain a partner with the West on … climate change.
No, seriously:(Snip for tweet) “Massive emissions consequences” from the war that Kerry only lightly acknowledges in this interview?

There is a certain symmetry to the notion that the spokesmouth for the failing Biden administration reportedly is being assiduously courted by the two failing cable news networks, CNN and MSNBC, both of which have endured near-catastrophic ratings declines in the era of Biden. More Biden cowbell… yea, that’s the ticket.
A scoop report by Dylan Byers, formerly of NBC and now the founding partner at media website Puck, gushes over Psaki and the reported talks she or her agent are having with the two networks. (snip) Paski’s job is to make the Biden administration look good and sell its performance to the American public. Let’s see how she’s been doing
In the bigger picture, the Canadian banking and financial system was hit hard by the deployment of the Emergency Act which highlighted the ability of the government to arbitrarily freeze and seize money, assets and financial investment capital without any due process. There are also strong rumors in the financial sector, that in addition to Canadians removing money from the banking system, previous investment funds from Hong Kong had been moved – and, making matters even worse, digital currency exchanges were no longer offering secure services in Canada.
Former President Barack Obama spent Presidents' Day weekend snorkeling and whale watching with his family in his native Hawaii, exclusive DailyMail.com photos show. The 60-year-old was spotted with wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha Saturday as they embarked on a whale watching tour along the coastline of Maui.The First Family was joined by friends and other spectators aboard a 53-foot double-decked tour boat from where they looked out for sea creatures and aquatic life on the crystal-clear waters of Ma'alaea Bay. Donning swimsuits, sunglasses, and hats, the Obamas were in full vacation mode enjoying life as a normal family,
On Wednesday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the U.S. has hit Russia “hard” with sanctions, he has reason to believe Russia will be engaging in something similar to a full invasion of Ukraine before the end of the night, and “everything is in place for Russia to move forward.”
Host Lester Holt asked, “Do you have reason to believe that, before this night is over, Russian forces will be engaged in something akin to a full invasion of Ukraine?”
Blinken answered, “I do. Unfortunately, Russia has positioned its forces at the final point of readiness across Ukraine’s borders, to the north,
Republicans have long had a toughness fetish. Going back to the early days of the Cold War, its flip side has been the insinuation that Democrats are weaklings ready to sell out the country to its enemies, with the GOP eager to serve proudly and unapologetically as America's lone defenders abroad.
No one should be surprised that the script has already been updated to account for recent distressing events on the border separating Russia and Ukraine.
Sen. Mitt Romney condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a statement late Wednesday that also took a shot at both of America’s last two presidents, including a famed line thrown at him by Barack Obama. The Utah Republican blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on a decade and more of U.S. weakness, also alluding to former President Donald Trump’s foreign-policy slogan.
“Putin’s impunity predictably follows our tepid response to his previous horrors in Georgia and Crimea, our naive efforts at a one-sided ‘reset’ and the shortsightedness of ‘America First,’” he said. Mr. Romney once was ridiculed by Mr. Obama, when the two men faced off

As RedState reported earlier, Secretary of State Antony Blinken shared on Wednesday evening that he believed Russia would fully invade Ukraine within hours. That has now been confirmed by none other than Vladimir Putin himself.
Per an announcement from the Russian president, his military forces are moving into greater Ukraine, including Kyiv, in order to “demilitarize” and “denazify” the sovereign nation. None of this is hypothetical anymore. Explosions are being heard in multiple Ukrainian cities. It is clear that a major military attack is underway. Putin also levied some disturbing threats against the west, seeming to suggest he would be willing to use nuclear weapons
