Russia threatened military action on Friday should NATO expand with the additions of Finland and Sweden.Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a press conference that the Nordic countries’ addition into NATO would “have serious military and political consequences.” The independent nations, which have close ties to the alliance, have historically resisted full membership, but the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Thursday may have shifted their priorities.“All [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] member states in their national capacity, including Finland and Sweden, have reaffirmed the principle that the security of one country cannot be built at the expense of the security of others,”

In an interesting “scoop” published Saturday, Axios reported that CBS’s EVP of Special Programming Chris Licht, who was tapped to replace ousted CNN boss Jeff Zucker to lead the third-place cable network, wants to get back to CNN being a straight news outlet and cut back on the liberal screeds that dominate prime time and their newscasts in general.The Axios headline said it all: “CNN to dull its liberal edge.” “Under new chief Chris Licht, CNN will dial down the prime-time partisanship and double down on the network's news-gathering muscle,” reported Mike Allen and Sara Fischer.
The People's Convoy has stopped taking donations after raising nearly $1 million as the group comprised of dozens of truckers and 100 other vehicles flooded highways protesting COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates on their cross-country trip to Washington, D.C. this weekend. Inspired by Canada's Freedom Convoy protest, the convoy started its 11-day trek from California to the nation's capital on Wednesday and is expected to arrive in D.C. on March 5.On Friday, just three days into the trek, the convoy had raised more than $855,000 in monetary donations, according to the protest's website - nearly double the amount it had reported Thursday.

The Florida man who “broke the internet” after he grabbed Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s podium during the chaos at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, has been sentenced to more than two months in prison for his role in the so-called “insurrection,” a stunt that he admits he now regrets. On Friday, Adam Johnson received a punishment of 75 days behind bars along with one year of supervised release from U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton who also ordered him to pay a $5,000 fine along with 200 hours of community service, a steep price for his fleeting moment of fame.
Former President Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden over Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, boasting onstage at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday night that the deadly assault wouldn't have happened on his watch. He also riled up the crowd by almost immediately teasing a 2024 presidential run. 'I stand as the only president of 21st century on whose watch Russia did not invade,' Trump bragged. 'Under Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under Obama, Russia took Crimea. Under Biden, Russia invaded Ukraine.' 'I have no doubt Putin made his decisoin to ruthlessly invade Ukraine after watching pathetic withdrawl from Afghanistan.'
Think Paul Ryan, the RINO that used to be Speaker of the House and ran as Mitt Romney’s VP is on your side? Think again. Not only is he trying to take down Trump, but he’s deeply connected to Biden’s far-left Supreme Court Justice nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson.In fact, she’s married to a man named Patrick Jackson. Patrick is the twin brother of Paul Ryan’s brother-in-law, William Jackson.And while Ryan the RINO claims that their politics are different, he’s done what he can to advance her legal career, a legal career that means advancing leftism in the courts. As ABC reported back in 2016:
This coming Tuesday, His Fraudulency Joe Biden will make his State of the Union address, and do so after he has spent the last year plunging both America and the world into chaos.How both he and the Misinformation Media will try to gaslight us into believing differently is now painfully obvious. We’re going to hear a lot about jobs created (when they were not) and how many people have been vaccinated (but not the fact that more died under Biden than under Trump). We’ll be told it’s only a coincidence that the CDC suddenly realized The Science would allow us to unmask just days before this speech.
As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to unfold, seminaries from the former Soviet Union issued a joint statement condemning the conflict. As the invasion rolled on, photos and videos of the invasion’s human toll are making international news. Many residents are taking shelter and foreigners remain stranded in the country. Meanwhile, eleven eastern European seminaries with evangelical and Reformed convictions — two of which are located in Russia and therefore are unnamed — expressed solidarity with the people of Ukraine and urged the world to pray for the nation.
The Biden administration announced Saturday it is providing an additional $350 million in military assistance to Ukraine as it battles a Russian military offensive. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement, “Today, as Ukraine fights with courage and pride against Russia’s brutal and unprovoked assault, I have authorized, pursuant to a delegation by the President, an unprecedented third Presidential Drawdown of up to $350 million for immediate support to Ukraine’s defense.”“This brings the total security assistance the United States has committed to Ukraine over the past year to more than $1 billion,” he said.He said the package will include further lethal defensive assistance

The UN Refugee Agency said Saturday that nearly 120,000 people have so far fled Ukraine into neighbouring countries in the wake of the Russian invasion.The number was going up fast as Ukrainians grabbed their belongings and rushed to escape from a deadly Russian onslaught on their nation, including an attempt to take the capital.“Almost 116,000 have crossed international borders as of right now. This may go up, it’s changing every minute,” said Shabia Mantoo, the spokeswoman of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. “It’s very fluid and changing by the hour.”The agency expects up to 4 million Ukrainians could flee if the situation deteriorates further.
A new Harvard Center for American Political Studies-Harris Poll survey released Friday shows that a whopping 62% of voters say that Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were president.The partisan breakdown is even more striking: 85% of Republicans think Putin wouldn’t have invaded if Trump had been president and 38% of Democrats also believed it. Just 38% of American voters believed Putin would still have invaded if Trump were president.The Hill: A majority of Americans polled — 59 percent — also said

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) touted President Joe Biden's response to Russia launching an invasion of Ukraine, saying Friday that the president's experience working on foreign policy has prepared him for an event like this. Speaking to reporters, Pelosi highlighted the "brilliance" of Biden's handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
"I think it's really important for people to understand the brilliance with which President Biden is conducting this," Pelosi said, according to Fox News' Chad Pergram. "This is a man who served decades as chair of the Foreign Affairs
Amid an intense conflict continuing, the government of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin are in negotiations for a meeting. However, the U.S. State Department does not want Zelenskyy and Putin to negotiate an end to hostilities.(Snip)The Biden administration has created this crisis between Russia and Ukraine for a convenient purpose, and the White House is not about to let Zelenskyy screw it up and create peace. The U.S. wants President Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine, so the State Department can take full control over the narrative. Zelenskyy is refusing to leave.
Russia could use savage superweapons that vaporize bodies and crush internal organs if their assault of Ukraine becomes bogged down, Western officials warned tonight.They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons - dubbed the 'father of all bombs' - as brave Ukrainians resist his attempts to take control of Kyiv.There are also concerns that units that are running behind schedule as they encounter stiff opposition could resort to indiscriminate shelling as a terror weapon.
President Joe Biden will nominate federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday to replace Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, which would make her the first black woman on the high court's bench should she be confirmed by the Senate.
Breyer announced his retirement last month after 28 years on the Supreme Court, effective when the current term ends this summer. That paved the way for Biden to fulfill his 2020 campaign promise of nominating a black woman as a Supreme Court justice.

President Biden on Friday afternoon scrapped plans to stay at the White House and prepared to depart for his home in Delaware for the weekend. He changed his plans as chaos reigned in Ukraine with Russian troops battling to take control of the country’s capital, Kyiv. The White House released a daily schedule confirming that Mr. Biden will travel to Wilmington in the evening. He had no public events scheduled for Saturday or Sunday.(Snip)The president will also have a meeting with his national security team in Wilmington on Saturday, she said. “Every president can work from everywhere they are because that is how presidencies are equipped,” Ms. Psaki said.
Back in December when longtime broadcast journalist Chris Wallace announced he was leaving Fox News and the coveted anchor perch he had held there for some 18 years, speculation ran high that the “new adventure” he hinted at heading off to involved a stint at CNN, which is Public Enemy Number One as far as Fox News viewers and a growing number of cable news watchers across the country are concerned.Sure enough, not long after Wallace revealed his departure from Fox, a statement was issued noting he would soon be joining CNN+, the paid streaming version of CNN which is expected to debut before the end of March.
The Secret Service is telling Republican investigators that it cannot find communications related to Hunter Biden’s travels for 2010, 2011, or 2013 — when President Joe Biden was the vice president. Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin sent the Secret Service a letter last month seeking unredacted records tied to Hunter Biden’s travels between January 2009 and January 2017. They asked for full travel records and criticized the agency for years of “inappropriate redactions” — especially related to a controversial Kazakhstan trip in 2014. The senators also lamented that three years of documents seemed to be missing entirely.
“LGBT+ rights” are the most important “values and hard won freedoms” distinguishing “us” from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Richard Moore, chief of MI6, the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, wrote on Friday. Moore did not specify if his use of “us” was a reference to the United Kingdom, the Anglosphere, or the broader West.(Snip)He wrote, “With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights. So let’s resume our series of tweets to mark #LGBTHM2022.” Moore highlighted an “LGBT+ support group” within MI6 to illustrate his emphasis of “LGBT+ rights”

The White House held a brainstorming session on how to combat climate “denialism and delay” even as the Russian invasion of Ukraine fueled pressure on President Biden to end his crackdown on domestic oil-and-gas production. The White House released Friday a readout from the previous day’s first-ever roundtable discussion held by the Office of Science and Technology Policy [OSTP] on “the scientific understanding of why arguments for delaying action on climate change are appealing and how they can be countered effectively.” “It’s clear that a variety of special interests have had a vested interest in sowing doubt on climate change and feeding denialism and delay,”
