US pours cold water on Poland's 'untenable'
offer to hand over all their MIG-29 fighter
jets to Ukraine: Pentagon says plan 'raises
serious concerns for NATO alliance' in
the face-off with Putin

The Pentagon has poured cold water on Poland's offer to hand all its MiG-29 fighter jets to the US, apparently as part of an arrangement to deliver the warplanes to Ukraine's armed forces where they are desperately needed to fight off invading Russian forces.The idea has been floating around for more than a week after Ukraine pleaded for more aircraft but the plan has been dogged by questions about how to deliver the planes to Ukrainian territory without dragging NATO into the conflict. But Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby said on Tuesday night the deal was unworkable and would cause serious concerns for the 'entire NATO alliance'.

President Joe Biden ridiculously promoted his green agenda and advised Americans to purchase massively expensive electric cars so they will unrealistically no longer have to worry about buying gas while deterring “tyrants like Putin” from using fossil fuels as a weapon.“Loosening environmental regulations won’t lower prices. But transforming our economy to run on electric vehicles, powered by clean energy, will mean that no one will have to worry about gas prices. It will mean tyrants like Putin won’t be able to use fossil fuels as a weapon,” the president tweeted.“It should motivate us to accelerate the transition to clean energy,”
Legendary golfer Tiger Woods broke down in tears as he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday, after being introduced by his 14-year-old daughter Sam. Woods, 46, didn't touch on any of his 82 victories on the PGA Tour or his 15 majors, or the eight surgeries he has endured along the way. Instead, he spoke of his parents taking out a second mortgage that allowed him to play the junior circuit in California, choking up when he mentioned his late father who told him he would have to earn everything he wanted.

Through teacher training lectures with titles like “Cultivating Anti-Racists and Activists in Kindergarten,” “Decolonizing the Minds of Second Graders,” and “The White People Way,” the nation’s leading accreditation association for private schools is instructing educators to adopt a race-essentialist and cultural Marxist curriculum for children as young as five years old.The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) hosts professional development conferences for teachers at schools in their network, which promote a race-based curriculum and grading system — including tips on how to
Prince George's County, Md. – Maryland residents said they were shocked by surging gas prices. "It hurts us regular people," one man, Josh, told Fox News. "We don't have like a lot of money for s--- like gas."He called the costs "unprecedented."The average price for a gallon of gasoline hit a record high for the second consecutive day on Wednesday, jumping 8 cents to $4.252, according to AAA. Biden announced on Tuesday a ban on all Russian oil and natural gas imports over Moscow's war on Ukraine.

I’m never going to complain about growing up as a Latter Cold War kid.The threat of nuclear annihilation — which we’d find out later came quite close in 1983 — tended to focus the mind, even the mind of a middle- and high-schooler like I was back then.Having a forceful and moral leader like President Ronald Reagan tended to focus the heart and soul, too. Reagan, following those four disastrous years of Jimmy Carter that I was just old enough to be aware of, was a revelation.Reagan didn’t put the Soviet Union on the ash heap of history by launching wars of aggression or

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm refused to answer questions from a Fox News reporter on Wednesday while her aides scrambled to push reporters away in an altercation that was caught on video
"Hi, Secretary Granholm," Fox News Senior Political Editor Andrew Murray asked the secretary as she walked down a hallway flanked by her aides following her speech at CERAWeek by S&P Global in Houston. Granholm recoiled in surprise as Murray attempted to ask her a question about Iran and gas prices."Is there any talk about bringing Iran back to the table because of gas prices," Murray asked.Granholm continued walking while her press secretary, Charisma Troiano, asked reporters to
A devastated father has paid tribute to his family who were brutally killed by Russian shelling during a ‘ceasefire’ as they tried to flee their besieged town in Ukraine. Serhiy Perebyynis shared images of high-ranking accountant Tatiana Perebyynis and their two children Alise and Nikita on Facebook, and wrote: ‘Forgive me, I didn’t cover you’. He also shared a photo of the family’s two dogs – one of which was killed in the attack.
Mrs Perebyynis was killed alongside her daughter, 9, and son, 18, after Russian artillery rained down on the trio alongside as they desperately fled the besieged town of Irpin on March 6.

President Biden’s announcement that the United States will ban imports of Russian oil caused the price of crude to surge on Tuesday morning. However, the pain that Americans are set to feel at the gas pump could eventually be offset if Congress were to pass Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, a new study finds.
An analysis released Tuesday by the nonpartisan think tank Energy Innovation finds that the climate change provisions of Biden’s now-defunct proposal, such as tax credits for buying new electric vehicles, would have reduced U.S. oil consumption by 2025 by half of the roughly 200,000 barrels of crude oil from Russia
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s position on LGBT education bill “has not changed” despite a concerned call from Disney CEO Bob Chapek and company executives. They reportedly plan to meet with DeSantis to air their concerns about Florida’s recently passed Parental Rights in Education bill, which prohibits gender ideology and sexual orientation curriculum for kindergartners through third graders in the state.
DeSantis is expected to sign the bill into law in the coming days after it passed the state legislature on Tuesday. Chapek told The Hollywood Reporter that he voiced his and his colleagues’ concerns to DeSantis Wednesday morning over the phone, and said that the governor agreed to a follow-up conversation.
Addressing reporters one day after the Florida legislature passed a bill barring teachers from including discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in their K-3 curriculum, White House press secretary Jen Psaki questioned whether the bill’s supporters are bigots intent on doing harm to gay children.
The bill would “discriminate against families, against kids—put these kids in a position of not getting the support they need at a time when that’s exactly what they need,” Psaki said. “It’s discriminatory, it’s a form of bullying, it his horrific. I mean, the president has spoken to that.”
Psaki was responding to a question from a reporter on why President Biden voted in favor
A maternity hospital in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol has been blown up in a 'direct hit' by Russian rockets leaving children buried in the rubble, President Zelensky has said, in what he described as an 'atrocity.'Zelensky posted a video showing the badly damaged hospital buildings, filmed inside a destroyed ward room with its windows blown out and ceiling partially collapsed. More footage showed a car park covered in rubble and the smouldering wrecks of vehicles as injured families evacuated into the freezing air while snow fell.

The Democrats are well aware of the old adage, “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” and are busy applying it as gas prices spiral out of all control. As PJM’s Chris Queen discussed Monday, Transportation Secretary Pete “Mr. Mom” Buttigieg appeared to be fantastically out of touch when he responded to skyrocketing prices at the pump. “Clean transportation can bring significant cost savings for the American people as well,” asserted Buttigieg. “Last month, we announced a $5 billion investment to build out a nationwide electric vehicle charging network so that people from rural to suburban to urban communities can all benefit from the gas
Kamala Proves the Peter Principle

Most of my life, I assumed that we elected serious politicians and appointed competent people to deal with the country’s complex problems -- the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, the economy, immigration, terrorism, foreign policy, natural disasters, etc. -- major problems that required competent people, serious about addressing (and fixing) the issues.
That was then, this is now. (snip) The Peter Principle says that people rise to the level of their incompetence. (snip) It’s difficult to believe that Biden could find someone less competent than himself, but he did. Among the vast numbers of very unintelligent politicians, VP Kamala is perhaps the least competent

The advancement of the America-First policy agenda in Washington has been ground down to a halt due to ineffective leadership and Republican infighting within the House of Representatives. This party disunity has left a leadership vacuum that has given progressives in Washington a window to pursue the failed Biden agenda and spend trillions of dollars in the process, leaving future generations of Americans to pay the price.
Americans are fed up with this failed agenda and it is showing. Polling and political models indicate that Republicans will regain control of the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections. Republicans must not squander this opportunity
