Kyiv, Ukraine — A Russian attack severely damaged a children’s hospital and maternity ward in the besieged port city of Mariupol, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday, as citizens trying to escape shelling on the outskirts of Kyiv streamed toward the capital amid warnings from the West that Moscow’s invasion is about to take a more brutal and indiscriminate turn. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Twitter that there were “people, children under the wreckage” of the hospital and called the strike an “atrocity.” Authorities said they were trying to establish how many people had been killed or wounded. Mariupol’s city council said on its social media site that the damage was “colossal.”

I hate to be a cynic about dead children but I remember the Iraqi “Baby Milk Factory” and the numerous fake dead children pictures coming out of the Middle East. Seventeen and eighteen year old American soldiers are very young also, we have leadership that promises to kill babies by the millions at a mother’s request and our borders are penetrated daily by illegals who hurt the quality of life for American children including more than a few deaths. American service members don’t need to shed one drop of blood or taxpayers pay for one round of ammo in Ukraine. We are sick of being used on behalf of people with dollar-signs in their eyes. The Biden trailer trash for instance. Hunter’s bagging millions for his inbred horror of a family - send him. And his kids. And while we’re at it, Beau’s. Or are they all too privileged?

This war did not have to happen. Russia didn't want missiles pointed at Russia when Ukraine became part of NATO. This is just a disaster. The ones responsible would be the biden cartel and NATO. If any troops are sent over, it had better the congresses children and not ours.

Any independent verification? Or just more "Ukrainian officials said"? The propaganda is flying thick on both sides. Weeks ago one wondered when the Russians would be accused to bayonetting children...well, this is close. Next the poor children will all be singing Disney movie songs in the bomb shelters... Yeah, I'm dubious of all such stories. Just as I am with COVIDS. Dubious of both sides.

I wouldn't put any atrocity past the Russians, but I also can't help being a cynic. The TV footage I saw didn't show any destroyed buildings. It showed a "ring" of intact buildings with the windows all blown out. As though a large explosion happened in the central courtyard - maybe a bomb dropped from a Russian aircraft, maybe a set-piece explosion designed to enrage a credible int'l audience. The "fog of war" is always alive and well. I admit I don't know what to believe.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said corporate rules designed to guide ethical investing have been 'twisted to insanity' and should be 'deleted if not fixed.' Elon weighed into a debate on whether ethical rules should be updated to allow for investment in defensive weapons amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Musk was criticizing ESG, a European Union-sponsored checklist of 'environmental, social and governance' criteria companies are supposed to keep in mind when making decisions about what to invest in. If firms comply with the rules, they are given an EU stamp of approval that investors can use to weigh their decisions - which often results in increased investment.
Russia confirms use of thermobaric 'vacuum

Russia has confirmed its use of a thermobaric weapon system, or "vacuum" bombs, during Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the UK Ministry of Defense said Wednesday. Vacuum bombs disperse explosive material over a large area that uses surrounding oxygen as fuel when it detonates, creating a blast wave that lasts far longer than conventional explosives. Thermobaric bombs are capable of sucking the air out of person's lungs, causing them to fill with liquid, or causing a person's lungs to rupture or explode. "The impact of the [TOS-1A] is devastating," the UK Ministry of Defense said in a video. "It can destroy infrastructure and cause significant damage to internal organs

Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association agreed to a new labor deal on Thursday, ending a 99-day lockout and ensuring a full 162-game season. The collective bargaining agreement will allow players to report to spring training as early as Friday with Opening Day potentially set for April 7, according to ESPN. The deal still has to be ratified by both the owners and the players, but it is reportedly expected to be nothing more than a "formality." The players’ board vote to take the deal was 26-12, The Athletic reported. The latest hump to get over was whether to hold an international draft. The sides agreed to a July 25

The Transportation Security Administration is extending a federal requirement that travelers wear masks on airplanes, at airports, on trains and buses through April 18, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. The mandate was set to expire on March 19. An extension of the mandate comes as the Biden administration, cities and states have rolled back mask mandates and other pandemic policies elsewhere as Covid cases drop. The shorter extension of the policy compared with previous announcements suggests President Joe Biden and the CDC are weighing whether to lift the mandate entirely this sprin

Washington — The House on Wednesday passed a $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill to keep the federal government open and provide $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine and Eastern European countries, while $15.6 billion for the response to COVID-19 fell by the wayside as Democrats worked to pass the legislation. The defense portion of the legislation passed 361-69, while the domestic spending portion passed 260-171, with one present vote. The 2,700-page legislation, which now heads to the Senate, is the culmination of months of bicameral and bipartisan negotiations between top Democratic and Republican appropriators. The details of the package, which funds federal agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year,

Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine will be remembered as one of the great crimes of the 21st century. The ensuing humanitarian crisis has already caused more than two million refugees to flee their homeland. With the imposition of sanctions, policymakers will have to weigh their political options as a rise in energy prices may trigger food shortages in the coming European fall, and lead to an even worse catastrophe in Africa and other developing countries. Under such circumstances, it’s easy to see the current war in Ukraine in Manichean terms. But once the conflict ends or devolves into a guerrilla war, national identity, geopolitics, and economics, not abstract principle

The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the House panel investigating last year's attack on the Capitol, arguing the congressional committee is seeking potentially confidential information on RNC members. The lawsuit takes aim at a February subpoena to Salesforce that the Jan. 6 committee said focuses on emails from the RNC in the weeks before the attack on the Capitol saying the 2020 election was stolen. The RNC called the subpoena a “fishing expedition" that could expose its strategies and personal information of its members and donors. The suit names House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and members of the congressional committee as defendants.

One of the dumbest stories currently happening in the country involves the Parental Rights in Education bill, which recently made it through the Florida legislature. It is now headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk, and he’s promised to sign it into law. So, why is a bill that simply provides more power to parents and more accountability to educators being so maligned? The answer is that it dares to disallow teaching sexual and gender ideology to Pre-K through third-grade students (that translates to ages 3-7). I know — the absolute horror of small children not being exposed to such things without parental involvement, right?

January 6 defendant Matthew Perna was looking at some serious jail time for a peaceful walk through the Capitol. Killers have gotten way less severe sentences, like this fine lad, who punched and killed an elderly man who allegedly called him a bad name: Perna didn’t punch an elderly man, causing his death. Nor was he looking at two years of house arrest. Perna was looking at 51 months in federal prison for entering the Capitol for five to ten minutes, snapping selfies, and chanting “USA” in an apparently seditious way. He also tapped a window with a pole but didn’t break it or anything else. He didn’t hit a cop. The FBI magnanimously

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

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.
