'We are here, in Kyiv, defending Ukraine': President Zelensky posts video of himself as Russian troops advance on capital
'We're all here. Our military is here. Citizens in society are here. We're all here defending our independence, our country, and it will stay this way,' Zelensky said as he stood outside the presidency building in Kyiv with his prime minister, chief of staff and other senior aides.
Last night, Zelensky warned EU leaders that 'this might be the last time you see me alive' after the embattled president was told that Russian special forces were hunting him down to assassinate him.

Vice President Kamala Harris' prediction about the Virginia governor's race may come back to bite her and her fellow Democrats. Back when she was campaigning for former Gov.

Prison officials at the Guayaquil Litoral Penitentiary say more violence is possible following Tuesday’s riot that left 30 dead and at least five beheaded. Another 48 were reported injured. “We still lack control of parts of the facility and further violent can still happen,” police commander Fausto Buenaño said early Wednesday morning. [[,,,]
In comments to a Guayaquil radio station, an unnamed police captain described the scene as “horrible beyond belief” [...] My people were overcome by the carnage and some vomited at what they saw,” he said.
An American citizen trapped in Kabul, Afghanistan, recently spoke about receiving a "bogus" generic visa document from the U.S. State Department, which he said was sent out to thousands of others.
David Fox, who runs a marketing firm in Kabul, told ABC News on Thursday that he recently tried to travel back to the U.S. but was unable to do so because of the massive crowds of people at Kabul's airport following the Taliban's takeover of the country.
Oh boy, Lara Logan appeared for an interview with Tucker Carlson and shouts a big trumpet. In essence, Ms. Logan points out the current situation in Afghanistan is exactly the outcome those controlling the Biden administration want. There is a benefit to someone or some group in the current outcome; because if there wasn’t, the outcome would be different.
I happen to agree with this perspective because there are so many options that could have been taken before this point in the crisis was reached. We have seen this play out before [Bathtub Principle] where a crisis is created because the crisis has a purpose.
The Duke of Sussex is to publish an intimate memoir of his life, which he has vowed will be “accurate and wholly truthful”.
The book, to be released late next year, will share the “definitive account” of his “experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons”, publisher Penguin Random House announced on Monday night.
It marks the first time a senior royal has ever written such a personal account of their life and the prospect of yet further damaging revelations is likely to send shockwaves through the Royal family.

ATLANTA - President Donald Trump made a series of promises at a campaign event in Atlanta on Friday in a bid to woo Black voters, including establishing Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of U.S. slavery, as a federal holiday. Trump, who announced the promises less than 40 days before the November presidential election, also pledged to designate two groups as terrorist organizations: the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan and the amorphous movement known as antifa that opposes fascism. He also promised to increase access to capital in Black communities, create more jobs, support Black-owned businesses and expanding opportunity zones. Corrections*

(Snip) “We believe we have mitigated the worst effects of the Covid outbreak and we must continue on the path of restoring our normal way of life.” (Snip) “We have not only suffered severe economic impacts, with at least 200,000 people losing their jobs, but there has been extreme social and psychological damage as well,” she said. “The number of women and children injured and killed in the past three months is at record levels.” Corrections*

President Biden said in an interview broadcast on Saturday that he hopes his legacy “is that I restored the soul of this country.”
In a wide-ranging interview with progressive political host Brian Tyler Cohen, Biden said that he hoped he would be remembered for restoring “some decency and honor to the office” of the presidency, rebuilding America’s middle class and repairing partnerships with other countries.“I hope my legacy is that I was able to restore some decency and honor to the office; I was able to bring the middle class back to a place where they had real opportunity, given an even chance to succeed; and I was able to reconstruct our alliances
Joe Biden sat down for a face-to-face interview with social media influencer Brian Tyler Cohen on Friday to discuss Putin, Covid and challenges Americans are facing due to his horrible policies.
Biden claimed that he has made the economy better but people are still “psychologically” unable to “feel happy.”
“There’s a phenomenal negative psychological impact that Covid has had on the public psyche and so you have an awful lot of people who are not withstanding the fact that things have gotten so much better for them economically that they are thinking,
Sometimes an opinion pops into my head that I know probably isn’t going to go over very well with some of the readers here at RedState, but hey, what kind of writer would I be if I was that easily swayed? So, if you disagree with what I’m about to say, live and let die on this one, and our minds will meet back up on the next one.
And on that note, the American trucker convoy headed toward Washington, D.C., to disrupt Joe Biden’s State of the Union address is a really bad idea.
I know, I know, but hear me out. No doubt, I was a strong supporter of the Freedom Convoy in Canada.
Billionaire Democrat megadonor George Soros says the United States, and other transatlantic nations, must “do whatever is in their power” to back Ukraine against Russia in the ongoing conflict overseas. After Russia first invaded Ukraine on February 24, Soros says the U.S. and its allies ought to have as much involvement in the conflict as possible even as Americans overwhelmingly oppose U.S. involvement. “I have witnessed Ukraine transform from a collapsing part of the Soviet Union to a liberal democracy and an open society,” Soros wrote in a series of statements online.
“It is important that both the transatlantic alliance (the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United

Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said Sunday that she finds it "offensive" for Republicans to call President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson "far-left."After "Fox News Sunday" guest host Harris Faulkner pointed out that some Republicans have taken issue with the Supreme Court pick for being "far-left," noting attorney Jonathan Turley saying recently that "this is a political deliverable, a good one for President Biden" because the other potential nominees were not as far-left, Klobuchar said the ideological term is "offensive" to her.
Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein on Monday announced her husband of more than 40 years, Richard Blum, died of lung cancer at the age of 86.“My heart is broken today. My husband was my partner and best friend for more than 40 years. He was by my side for the good times and for the challenges. I am going to miss him terribly,” Feinstein, 88, said in a statement.“Dick was incredibly devoted to his family, particularly his daughters and his grandchildren, and my heart is with them and everyone who Dick encountered.
The left-wing New York Times reporter and creator of the controversial 1619 Project accused the media of depicting 'insidious racism' in its heavy coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine—compared to other conflicts—and accused some journalists only have concern for 'Europeans with blond hair and blue eyes.' 'Every journalist covering Ukraine should really, really look internally. This is why I say we should stop pretending we have objectivity and in instead acknowledge our biases so that we can report against them. Many of us see the racialized analysis and language,' Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted Sunday. Hannah-Jones, whose 1619 Project initiative aims to reframe American history by placing
As the midterm 2022 elections approach, the expectation is that, with thirty Democrat House retirements and the continued unraveling of the Biden Administration, the Dems are about to experience historic losses in both the House and Senate.
However, the evil geniuses within the Democrat party have identified the Fourteenth Amendment as a vehicle to thwart Republican dreams of achieving a massive political realignment. Therefore, it may be shortsighted to count the one-time party of Jefferson as down-and-out until the last glimmering frenzy has been extinguished.
In 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment was amended to add Section 3, also known as the Disqualification Clause.
While I have no way of knowing — or giving a damn — if ABC “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos woke up on the wrong side of the bed Sunday morning, I do know that by the time he got to the studio, he was ready to do battle with Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton over his favorite target: Donald Trump.
Unfortunately for Stephy, Cotton was more than ready to dismiss him and his stage four TDS nonsense.
As reported by NewsBusters, Stephanopoulos did his damnedest to frame Putin as an egomaniacal dictator

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made an appearance on ABC's "This Week," where she offered a preview of what to expect from President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, to be delivered this Tuesday. (Tweet/Video) To close out her segment, host George Stephanopoulos brought up a stark reality that Biden is facing right now. "Finally, the president is approaching his State of the Union in a pretty difficult political position right now, 37 percent approval rating, Democrats trailing badly in the midterm polling. A majority in our recent poll out this morning even question the president's mental capacity," Stephanopoulos mentioned,
I’m having a problem using the president’s formal title and name together. It’s not a matter of Republican disrespect for a Democrat. I referred to both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton by their presidential titles. It’s a matter of legitimacy. Over half of all Americans now believe that fraud affected the outcome of the last Presidential election. The Arizona election audit didn’t prove that the Donald won, as many hoped. But it did prove that we don’t really know who won that state. Given the election shenanigans around the country in November 2020, there is certainly justification to question the outcome.
