Houston, Texas — Election officials in Texas’ largest county failed to count approximately 10,000 ballots by election day. The Democrat-appointed election administrator for Harris County reported 6,000 of the ballots were cast in the Democratic Party primary and 4,000 in the Republican Party Primary.
“As we continue to run through the numerous checks and balances of the tallying process, we identified approximately 10,000 mail-in ballots (6,000 Democratic and 4,000 Republican) that were not added into the original Election Night count,” Harris County Election Administrator Isabel Longoria said in a written statement obtained by Breitbart Texas. “The oversight occurred between the hours of 1 and 4 a.m.
AAA announced that the U.S. average gas price is now slightly more than $4 per gallon. Gas is at its highest since 2008. But before gas prices took a jump due to the first Green New Deal War, being hosted this year by Ukraine and Russia, there was Bidenflation, supply chain fiascos, COVID-19 lockdowns, and Joe Biden’s turn toward windmills and Chinese solar panels to fuel cars and planes. And because he took America away from making most of its own energy, we suckers in the provinces are staring down the barrel of $7-per-gallon gas.

Russian officials are looking to recruit Syrian soldiers to fight in Ukraine as battles are set to intensity in and around major cities, The Wall Street Journal reported.
U.S. officials told the Journal that Moscow is specifically recruiting Syrian fighters for their expertise in urban combat fighting.
Troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is backed by Russia, have been fighting a fierce battle in urban centers for nearly a decade, giving them a skill set hard to find among Russian troops. One official said while it's unclear how many Syrian fighters will join the battle, some are already in Russia preparing
Nikki Haley, former United Nations ambassador for the U.S., slammed President Joe Biden's leadership in the Ukraine conflict on Sunday and said it's 'absolute lunacy' the country continues to buy Russian oil after Vladimir Putin launched an invasion last month.In an interview with FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Haley said the United States never should have trusted Russia or Putin. 'This all happened because of us,' the former South Carolina governor said.'This happened from the way the U.S. left Afghanistan,' she explained, saying the U.S. abandoned its allies.

by push for trillions in new social welfare spending replies
President Biden’s pledge to cut the deficit by more than $1 trillion by the end of the year has budget experts and fiscal hawks scratching their heads, especially as the White House pushes trillions in new spending. Republicans say that if Mr. Biden was serious about cutting the deficit he would not be asking Congress to revive the administration’s $1.75 trillion social welfare and climate change package.(Snip)The Congressional Budget Office estimates the legislation, which includes $500 billion in new climate change spending and billions for social welfare initiatives like universal pre-K, will balloon the deficit anywhere between $367 billion to $3 trillion over the next decade.
U.S. crude oil surged more than 8% in early trading on Sunday evening as the market continued to react to supply disruptions stemming from Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the possibility of a ban on Russian oil and natural gas.
West Texas Intermediate crude futures, the U.S. oil benchmark, traded 8% higher to above $125 a barrel, the highest since July 2008. At one point the price rose to $130.50 Sunday evening before retreating. The international benchmark, Brent crude, traded 9% higher to $128.60, also the highest price seen since 2008. Brent hit a high of $139.13 at one point overnight.

As COVID restrictions end around the country, and Democratic politicians pretend that something about the science has changed instead of their poll numbers being in the dirt, Americans must first demand: apologies. Here, I’ll even go first. I spent much of 2020 and 2021 writing again and again arguing for the opening of schools throughout the country. But in March 2020, I was one of the leading voices urging schools to close. It made no sense to me that my husband had stopped going into the office because of the mysterious new virus but my children continued to go to school.
Vice President Kamala Harris used her visit to Selma, Alabama, as an opportunity to compare state Republicans who passed new election laws to 1960s state troopers who attacked Black civil rights protesters as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Ms. Harris made the trip Sunday to commemorate the 57th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” the day in 1965 when White state troopers assaulted Black voting-rights demonstrators trying to cross the historic bridge in Selma. Ms. Harris described the marchers on that day as “preparing for the worst” and were kneeling in prayer as the state troopers charged at them. “Those brave marches continued to push forward to secure the freedom
Ukraine's government has a contingency plan in place if President Volodymyr Zelensky is killed during the Russian invasion, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed on Sunday.

Blinken first praised Zelensky and other Kyiv officials as 'the embodiment of this incredibly brave Ukrainian people.'

Professed devout Catholic Joe Biden has drawn much criticism over his championing of abortion, a view that is contradictory to his religion which expressly forbids the taking of the lives of the unborn and the nation’s president was given notice of when he can attend confession after his latest remarks. With Democrats digging in against states that have passed new laws designed to protect the rights of the unborn, Biden caught the attention of a Catholic priest after he lashed out at Florida which has just passed legislation which will ban abortion after 15 weeks with the exception of certain cases including rape and incest.
After initially seizing a $70 million yacht belonging to one of Russia's richest men (billionaire Alexey Alexandrovits Mordaschov), the Italian authorities have struck again, seizing even more assets belonging to Russian businessmen and others affected by EU sanctions.The latest seizures, including villas in Sardinia and Lake Como, allegedly belong to Russian billionaire businessman and President of the International Fencing Federation Alisher Usmanov, and a popular Russian TV host named Vladimir Soloviev. Both men are on the EU sanctions list, according to Reuters.

Vladimir Putin’s mistress Alina Kabaeva is allegedly hiding in Switzerland with their four young children, sources tell Page Six.“While Putin carries out his assault on the Ukraine, attacking innocent citizens and causing a refugee crisis, his family is holed up in a very private and very secure chalet somewhere in Switzerland – for now, at least,” a source told us.Kabaeva, an Olympic gold-winning gymnast, reportedly has four children with the Russian leader, 69, but the two have never officially confirmed it.
With all of the Russia and Ukraine stories in the news cycle, it’s almost easy to forget that thousands of truckers in the United States are making their way to the Beltway to protest Biden’s vaccine mandates. Several videos that have gone viral on Twitter show thousands of truckers stopped in Hagerstown Maryland waiting to depart to the DC Beltway.Drone footage of the convoy shows that there are just about 60 miles worth of trucks making their way to the Beltway. Originally the People’s Convoy was going to make its way to the Capitol in DC but that plan has changed and the truckers will make their way on
The U.S. government ran a ‘comprehensive’ media relations program that paid millions of dollars to media outlets to influence the American public to be ‘pro-vaccine.’ This program included purchasing advertising from some of the biggest TV and digital media outlets, which subsequently failed in almost every instance to report the conflict of interest, accompanied by near-uniformly positive and uncritical Covid vaccine reportage.The government documents describing the media relations program were reported by The Blaze in an “exclusive.”“In response to a FOIA request filed by TheBlaze, HHS revealed that it purchased advertising from major news networks including ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as cable TV news stations
If your grocery bills continue to frustrate you, you’re not alone. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) released its report on worldwide food prices for February, and prices hit a record high last month. The February FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) reached a new high of 140.7 points, which reflects an increase of 3.9% over January and a whopping 20.7% over this time last year.
The FFPI serves as a “measure of the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities,” notes the FAO. This month’s increase was largely due to “large increases in vegetable oil and dairy price sub-indices.”
Democrats do not want “unity” with the GOP “fascists,” according to a recent Salon piece accusing Republicans of seeking to create a “21st-century Herrenvolk society” in which black people “have no rights the white man is bound to respect.”Titled “Dear Joe Biden: We don’t want ‘unity’ with fascists — that’s why Democrats lose,” and penned by senior politics writer Chauncey DeVega, the Friday Salon essay declares “the compromise [Biden] imagines” is simply “surrendering to fascism.” Calling President Biden the “best option available for defeating Donald Trump and buying time to organize a defense of American democracy against the neofascist assault,” the author claims the president has accomplished “a great deal”
No president in history has faced more corrupt lawfare than Donald Trump, and that didn’t end once he left office. Numerous criminal probes are going on in various far-left districts, including New York City and Atlanta, in an attempt to throw Trump in prison for anything they can come up with.
You see, unlike most criminal investigations, these probes didn’t start with a clearly defined crime that demanded justice. Rather, they started with a political target, and everything else has flowed from there.
As you’d expect, those corrupt practices have led to some hiccups, most recently with the probe happening out of the Manhattan DA’s office.
The body of a missing Florida woman was found in a septic tank behind her home after she was allegedly killed and dumped there by her handyman, according to police. Keoki Hilo Demich, 34, was charged with murdering Cynthia Cole, 57, who went missing shortly after attending an art festival in Jensen Beach over a week ago, Martin County Sheriff said on Facebook Saturday. Cops allegedly found doorbell camera footage of Demich leaving Cole’s Jeep near her home the night she was last seen and arrested him on Friday, according to WPBF News.(Snip)“I’ve been doing this 40 plus years.

I’m guessing someone didn’t like all the coverage of the Clinton connection to the Durham probe and the allegations in the Durham filing in the case against former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann that revealed that servers connected to President Donald Trump were being surveilled for their DNS lookups.
After the news came out, the attorneys for Michael Sussmann moved to strike the factual background in the Durham filing that has raised all the furor, claiming essentially that Special Counsel John Durham said too much, and that the intent was “to politicize this case, inflame media coverage, and taint the jury pool.”
Former Vice President Mike Pence probably figures that if he is not the early front-runner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, he is certainly in the hunt and probably makes the top five list of contenders.
That’s not going to last very long if he continues doing what he did Friday. Now that GOP voters have seen Trump and DeSantis, they are no longer impressed by so-called “Republicans” who willingly serve as stooges for the Democratic Party’s Blue Media. Mr. Pence deserves every bit of the glowing coverage he is receiving from the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, NBC News, and other similarly-inclined shovelers of the Democratic Party’s narratives.
With so much of the news cycle being understandably dominated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it’s been easy to miss some of the insanity continuing to come out of Canada.
On the ground, the Freedom Convoy is no more, and the use of the Emergencies Act was finally revoked by Justin Trudeau. The Canadian PM only did so after facing intense scrutiny for seeking its renewal despite the protests being over.
But even though things have calmed down, Trudeau continues to push for his dystopian dream. In a recent speech, he gave a bizarre and revealing rant on “democracy”
Plans for Poland to send fighter jets to Ukraine have been given the 'green light' by the US amid warnings from Russia that countries hosting Kyiv's military aircraft could end up being involved in an armed conflict. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said today that the country was in talks with Poland in order to orchestrate a deal that would allow Polish fighter jets to be flown by pilots from the Ukrainian Air Force in order to combat Russia's air superiority.
The deal would see Ukraine take Poland's 28 Russian-made MiG-29 warplanes, which would in turn be replaced by a fresh set of F-16's
A young girl in a Ukrainian bunker delivered a heart-wrenching performance of the Disney song “Let It Go,” video shows.
The safe-room, full of families and children, hushed for the child’s astounding performance of the hit tune from the flick “Frozen,” according to the clip circulating on social media.
The room erupted into applause when she finished, according to the footage. It was not immediately clear where the video was recorded; the Ukrainian flag can be seen hanging from one of the walls.
How does any rational or caring human being watch us lose a 20-year war against cave-dwelling barbarians, and not just lose that war, but lose it in the most humiliating fashion imaginable, and less than a year later already have a war-boner for Ukraine? I’m convinced the unholy alliance between Neocons, the corporate media, and the Democrat party is the Seventh Seal. For a moment, let’s forget about the fact that America is incapable of liberating anyone; let’s ignore that our definition of “liberating” is to spend $4 trillion killing hundreds of thousands of innocents and then abandoning them to the enemy.

Defiant ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo turned a Brooklyn church appearance into a 25-minute gripe session Sunday in which he again blamed “cancel culture,” the media and “political sharks” driving him out of office.

The national average price for gas has topped $4 a gallon for the first time in over a decade as gas costs continue to soar in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As of Sunday afternoon, the national average of a regular gallon of gas was $4.009, according to AAA. That's up 8 cents from Saturday and up 40 cents from last week. The U.S. hit the $4 national average a day earlier than analysts expected. The record high for the national average is $4.11, set on July 17, 2008, according to AAA.

Beware the false flags. But also beware the fake news and false promises, as they are the means for dangerous ends: increased U.S. and NATO involvement in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
On Thursday, Senator Lindsey Graham – a longtime member of the Washington D.C. war party – called for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin.(tweet)Florida Senator Marco Rubio soon followed with claims that Putin would “use chemical or biological weapons” and “slaughter millions.” This same Marco Rubio has been a proponent of NATO expansion - the very policy that contributed to the environment that led to Russia’s invasion.
HORROR pictures show the moment a column of refugees came under attack by Russian forces in Ukraine. At least three people were killed when the mortar fire came raining down while men, women and children attempted to flee from Irpin near Kyiv.

Just what is at stake in Ukraine? Oh, maybe everything. Besides the horrendous loss of life, the conscription of young Ukrainian boys to repel Russian soldiers' advance, the streaming of hundreds of thousands of homeless refugees across Europe, and widespread property destruction, the war has become an immediate referendum on the West's cherished "rules-based international order."
Leeds Crown Court has heard that a British girl was abused and groomed by up to 300 men by the time she reached the age of 17.

However, Kate Batty, for the prosecution, said that the unidentified girl’s parents were told by social services that “she must love it if she keeps going back”—a stance that has stark parallels

For more than a decade, American presidents stood by while Russian strongman Vladimir Putin had his way with Ukraine.
Indeed, going back to the fall of the Soviet Union when Bill Clinton supported the nuclear disarmament of Ukraine, U.S. presidents have had a particular blind spot when it comes to Ukraine. An independent nation on the border of a country that has always seen that nation as one of its possessions could have used an independent nuclear deterrent.
But Clinton and then George W. Bush were too busy creating a post-cold war architecture of peace to be concerned about Ukraine. And that’s where Vladimir Putin entered the picture.
That “architecture” included solemn guarantees
Democrats are looking to make Ukraine a wedge issue in order to keep control of Congress and get a leg up on the 2024 presidential race.
That’s what the attempt to smear the entire Republican Party with the stink of being pro-Putin apologists is about.
Every major elected Republican official has come out squarely opposed to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Many Republicans were urging Joe Biden to apply sanctions against Russia even before the invasion. But Democrats and their allies in the media have taken some ignorant comments from Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and have tried to paint the entire GOP as supporting Putin and his war of aggression.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority lawyers seek $44,179 from Baska for damaging the readers, which are used for the agency’s new tap-and-pay OMNY system.(Snip)The MTA has targeted other people who have damaged OMNY readers, including Calvin Williams, who was arrested for busting 18 OMNY screens in November and December 2020.
Antony Blinken said Sunday there is intelligence that Russia is engaging in 'war crimes' against Ukrainian people as Vladimir Putin continues his assault on the country, targeting military and civilians alike. 'We've seen very credible reports of deliberate attacks on civilians, which would constitute a war crime,' the Secretary of State told CNN's State of the Union. 'What we're doing right now is documenting all of this, putting it all together, looking at it and making sure that as–people and the appropriate organizations and institutions investigate whether war crimes have been or are being committed,' Blinken added. He reiterated that the reports are 'very credible.'

Joe Biden is in a bind.
Like everything else, he's blown it. Energy prices have gone through the roof, with gasoline prices at the pump pushing $6.00 a gallon in San Diego alone. They're expected to get higher, and each tic upward takes Joe down another notch in the polls. Biden has throttled U.S. capacity to produce its own energy by ending to domestic drilling leases on federal lands. He's also scuppered the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada. In place of that domestic and Canadian energy, we now buy Russian oil, some 600,000 barrels a day -- which just happens to finance Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine.
