Reports of sexual violence involving Russian soldiers are multiplying, Ukrainian officials say.

 NY Times "The crime first came to light last week, when Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova, said in a Facebook post that a Russian soldier had killed an unarmed civilian and then repeatedly raped his wife. Days later, the White House said it was concerned about emerging reports of sexual violence in Ukraine.

"Then on Monday night, The Times of London published the woman’s chilling account. Using the pseudonym Natalya, she told a reporter she had been in her home in a village near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, when she heard footsteps and a shot rang out. Moments later her husband lay dead outside her front door, and two Russian soldiers were at her side, one holding a gun to her head.

" 'I shot your husband because he was a Nazi,” the gunman told her, before he and the other soldier raped her, as her 4-year-old son sobbed in a boiler room next door, according to The Times. She said she was later raped a second time by the soldiers, and eventually managed to flee to western Ukraine with her son.". . .

Kiev's grip on eastern Ukraine weakens as pro-Russians seize army vehicles | Ukraine | The Guardian  "For Kiev's beleaguered army it was meant to be a display of strength. Early on Wednesday a column of six armoured personnel carriers trundled through the town of Kramatorsk, in eastern Ukraine. Some 24 hours earlier Ukrainian soldiers had recaptured a small disused aerodrome. Their next target appeared to be Slavyansk, the neighbouring town, occupied by a shadowy Russian militia. Was victory close?

"The column didn't get far. At Kramatorsk's railway junction, next to an open-air market and a shop selling building materials, an angry crowd caught up with it. Next armed separatists dressed in military fatigues turned up too. Within minutes the Ukrainian soldiers gave up. Without a shot being fired they abandoned their vehicles. The pro-Russian gunmen grabbed them. They raised a Russian tricolour. They sat on top and went for a victory spin.

"In theory this was happening in Ukraine, under the control of a pro-western government in Kiev, and several hundred kilometres from the Russian border. In reality large chunks of the east of the country are now in open revolt. Ukraine is rapidly vanishing as a sovereign state. Its army is falling apart. What happens next is unclear. But the Kremlin can either annexe the east, as it did Crimea, again shrugging off western outrage. Or it can pull the strings of a new post-Kiev puppet entity.

"The militia who captured the armoured vehicles on Wednesday looked like professionals. They had Kalashnikovs, flak jackets, ammunition. One even carried a tube-shaped green grenade-launcher. Some hid their faces under black balaclavas. Others waved and smiled. All wore an orange and black ribbon – originally a symbol of the Soviet victory over fascism, and now the colours of the east's snowballing anti-Kiev movement. There was a flag of Donbass, the Russian-speaking eastern region with its main city of Donetsk.". . .

The armed men, meanwhile, made little secret of the fact they took orders from Moscow. Many of them appeared to be Russian troops from Crimea. Asked where he had come from, one told the Guardian: "Simferopol." How were things in Crimea? "Zamechatelna," he said in Russian – splendid. He added: "The old ladies are happy. Because of Russia their pensions have doubled." Had he served in the Ukrainian army and perhaps swapped sides? "No, I'm Russian," he replied.

Mitt Romney is insane to vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson

 What is it about people like Biden, Pelosi, Hillary and Bill Clinton, McCain, John Kerry, Al Gore, McConnell, Feinstein, etc., all of whom have been willing to and continue to sell out their nation for more power and more money? 


 American Thinker has been a treasure trove lately: Mitt Romney is insane to vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson - Patricia McCarthy    "Mitt Romney is thoroughly damaged by Trump derangement.  This has been evident for a long time over the last four years, but his vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson is a bridge too far.

"For a man of the Mormon faith to accept a judge who is perennially partial to purveyors of child pornography is incomprehensible.  How does a man with five sons and twenty-four grandchildren suffer from the same blind spot as Judge Jackson?  Only his hatred of all things Trumpian, like common sense, can explain such an appalling breach of American values, let alone Mormon values.

"He is a carpetbagger, but he represents the state in which Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped and held hostage for nine months!  One would think he would be crucially sensitive to the sexual abuse of young children.  But apparently not.  He, like the ever-on-the-fence Susan Collins and eternal RINO Lisa Murkowski, has voted to confirm Judge Jackson.

"Bottom line?  These three traitors to their constituents need to be voted out of office.  They've revealed themselves to be members of the left, the globalist elite who are dedicated to the wholesale destruction of America as founded.  Romney and Murkowski seem to revel in their betrayal.  As for Susan Collins?  Inexplicable but for the fact that she has no children of her own.  But who among us cannot imagine the horror of child sex trafficking? 

"Romney's duplicity can be explained only by his vitriolic animosity for President Trump, who won the presidency in 2016, whereas Romney lost to Obama in 2012.  Mitt believes himself to be far, far superior to the equally wealthy but more savvy Trump.  He does not seem to realize that this country was better off throughout Trump's four years than under Clinton, Bush, Obama, and the wretched Biden.". . .

"WASHINGTON: Mitt Romney, being in a perpetual search for a spine, has finally discovered Twitter, and gee, you don’t even have to use your real name.  Armed with newfound, Twitter-inspired boldness, Romney is feeling like his courageous old self… from way back in high school … when he gave someone an unwelcomed haircut. (Mitt Romney, Bully – The New Yorker May 2012)". . .

A concerned mother who questioned NY Mayor Adams on toddler mask mandate fired from city job

Rajan Laad    . . .This draconian move discourages dialogue between the government and a citizen. Governments usually prefer monologues and mandates. They expect the citizen to obediently follow. The goal behind Jampel's firing is to deter others from speaking the truth to power. 

"We revisit the principles of Democracy which is defined by Lincoln as ‘of the people, by the people and for the people.'

"Since all citizens cannot govern simultaneously, they elect a representative to govern on their behalf to whom they lend their power. 

"The representatives do not own power, they merely have access to power on atemporary basis. Citizens who own the power have every right to hold their representatives accountable. 

"The representative (mayor, governor, congressman, senator, sresident, etc) reports to the citizen, hence they are referred to as public servants.

"Since all citizens cannot be everywhere questioning the representatives, the press is assigned the task of holding the powerful accountable. If the press fails, the citizen can demand answers.  It is not incumbent on the citizen to be humble, polite, or servile; the representatives must answer questions either directly or via their spokespersons.

"Jampel’s firing is a reminder of how Democrats function when they have absolute power. Questioning is not only discouraged but punished.

"It has to be remembered that these very Democrats celebrated treasonous saboteurs and leakers attempting to undermine democratically-elected President Trump. The saboteurs were glorified and referred to as patriots, heroes, and whistleblowers who were speaking truth to power. They were even afforded anonymity and protection for their ‘bravery’

"Yet a mother was fired for expressing valid concerns about the wellbeing of her toddler. 

"This incident is another reason to vote against the tyrants who refer to themselves as Democrats."

Elon Musk Throws Down the Gauntlet on Twitter

 "Clearly, he’s not happy with the company’s pattern of censorship, of manipulation, of serving the leftist ideology. " Tim O'Brien

Elon Musk Throws Down the Gauntlet on Twitter - American Thinker   . . ."But the Left controls Big Tech, and responded by orchestrating the deplatforming of Trump. 

"On the Friday after the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol, Twitter saw an opportunity and seized on it. It suspended the sitting President of the United States from its platform. Over the course of that weekend other Big Tech firms essentially destroyed upstart Twitter competitor Parler and sought to make Trump a nonentity across several other channels, including e-commerce, email, and other platforms. On the final day of his presidential term, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and others had suspended or effectively banned Trump from the Internet. 

"As this was happening, hundreds of conservative Twitter users saw massive numbers of followers disappear before their eyes.  One by one, many of those users would face suspensions and bans of their own. ". . .

. . ." Now, Twitter has a new boss, not the same as the old boss. Let the fun begin."

BLM purchased $6 million Los Angeles mansion with donor money: Report

 Washington Examiner

The national Black Lives Matter group purchased a $6 million mansion in a Los Angeles neighborhood with donor cash in October 2020 and then maneuvered to keep the purchase a secret, according to a report Monday.

BLM Global Network Foundation used a man with close business ties to the charity's co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, to purchase the luxury mansion with the charity's cash resources, according to a report by New York magazine. The property purchase came just two weeks after BLM received a $66.5 million cash infusion from its former fiscal sponsor on Oct. 6, 2020.". . .

. . . "Abdullah later blasted critics for demanding accountability for their management of BLM's millions.

“Who the f*** are you? You ain’t done s***,” Abdullah said. "I don't need to be accountable to you. ... I don't know what accountability looks like with people that I don't know and have never talked to."

"Paul Kamenar, an attorney for the watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center, said Monday that Cullors's use of BLM's property for use on her personal YouTube channel appears to be an IRS violation.". . .


Russia faces global outrage over bodies in Ukraine’s streets

 By OLEKSANDR STASHEVSKYI and NEBI QENA today

Zelenskyy appealed for more weaponry as Russia prepares a new offensive.  “If we had already got what we needed — all these planes, tanks, artillery, anti-missile and anti-ship weapons — we could have saved thousands of people,” he said.


"Associated Press journalists saw dozens of bodies in Bucha, including at least 13 in and around a building that local people said Russian troops used as a base. Three other bodies were found in a stairwell, and a group of six were burned together.

"Many victims seen by AP appeared to have been shot at close range. Some were shot in the head. At least two had their hands tied. A bag of spilled groceries lay near one victim.

"The dead witnessed by the news agency’s journalists also included bodies wrapped in black plastic, piled on one end of a mass grave in a Bucha churchyard. Many of those victims had been shot in cars or killed in explosions trying to flee the city. With the morgue full and the cemetery impossible to reach, the churchyard was the only place to keep the dead, Father Andrii Galavin said.

"Tanya Nedashkivs’ka said she buried her husband in a garden outside their apartment building after he was detained by Russian troops. His body was one of those left heaped in a stairwell.

“Please, I am begging you, do something!” she said. “It’s me talking, a Ukrainian woman, a Ukrainian woman, a mother of two kids and one grandchild. For all the wives and mothers, make peace on Earth so no one ever grieves again.”. . .

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said TV stations refused to let him appear in his commercials


December 17, 2021 Update On Lindell’s Supreme Court Election Fraud Case! - The True Defender !

Lindell has continued to push bogus claims of election fraud since Trump’s loss to Biden in the presidential race. MyPillow’s logo was also prominently featured on TrumpMarch.com, a website that promoted the Jan. 6 events in Washington, in which rioters stormed the Capitol.

 "MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claims he has been prohibited from appearing in some of his company's commercials. 

" ' I had 12 TV stations just the other day now say that I couldn't be in the commercials. I cannot personally be in them," Lindell said during an interview with the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) on Saturday. 

"Lindell, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, did not say specifically which stations had stopped him from appearing but called them "smaller networks."

" 'They want my voice stopped," Lindell said. He added that he had only heard the news about his appearance ban the day before. 

" 'Believe me, they cancel, they will never get to sell my product again," he said. 

"During the interview, Lindell also said that customers who buy his pillow products were in a unique situation because they "were supporting getting rid of" the voting machines "[and] everything we're doing to save our country," while also getting a "good product." . . .More here: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said TV stations refused to let him appear in his commercials (foxla.com)

Obama called in to clean up after Joe Biden - American Thinker   . . ."Obama remains a popular figure within the Democratic Party, while Biden faces low public approval ratings thanks in part to high inflation and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Democrats face the risk of losing control of at least one if not both chambers of Congress in November, which would bring Biden's legislative agenda to a halt.

"The Biden administration will unveil a measure on Tuesday to fix an element of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, known as the "family glitch" that left family members of those with access to affordable employer-provided health plans ineligible for certain subsidies.". . .

Why would Joe be inviting Obama over to claim credit for that rare "accomplishment" that Joe can call his own?  Politicians don't work like that.

The claims to warmth and friendship are even more suspect, given Obama's known contempt for the clownish, senile Biden.

"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f--- things up."

"You don't have to do this, Joe..."

Recall also that Biden had to beg Obama to call him "Mr. Vice President," given the contemptuous nicknames Obama was flinging around to staff early in Obama's term.

Obama refused to endorse Biden for president until it was impossible not to, way late in the campaign, and he never went out campaigning with his basement-dwelling best buddy.". . .

Biden Presses Panic Button, Invites Obama to White House – PJ Media   . . ."It’s very out of the ordinary for a former president to return to the White House for such an affair, which suggests that the Biden White House desperately wants Obama to participate in the hopes that having him on board for the event will generate some much-needed good publicity.

‘It’s Illegal to Kill People’: Twitter Explains to David Hogg Why His Human-Killing License Idea is Bad

Go home and grow up, David. Maybe then your friends at CNN will take you more seriously than you think they do now, 


 David Hogg's Idea for Murder Licensing Not a Hit on Twitter (mediaite.com) "In a Saturday tweet, anti-gun activist David Hogg seems to have come up with a new plot twist on the often retold plot of “The Most Dangerous Game”, the 1924 short story about a man hunting human beings that has spawned movies and copycat stories for decades.

“If you need a license to kill deer why don’t you need one to kill humans?” asked Hogg in his tweet.". . . 

Jonah Goldberg tweeted: I'll type slowly so you can keep up. Because we don't give out licenses to kill humans. We charge people who intentionally kill humans -- save in self-defense -- with committing a crime (in some cases punishable by death). Maybe you've seen too many James Bond movies?

U.S. Supreme Court nominee Jackson secures more Republican backers, clears hurdle

 Without reading this article, tell me who the Republicans are. C'mom, you can do it. TD


U.S. Supreme Court nominee Jackson secures more Republican backers, clears hurdle | Reuters  WASHINGTON, April 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson secured the support of two more Senate Republicans on Monday, as she cleared a procedural hurdle toward becoming the first Black woman to serve on the nation's top judicial body.

"Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney joined Susan Collins in saying they would vote to confirm Jackson, 51, to a lifetime seat on the court later this week. They also supported a procedural 53-47 vote to bring her nomination to the Senate floor after the Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked 11-11 along party lines on whether to advance the nomination.

"Murkowski and Romney, who do not serve on the Judiciary Committee, announced their backing of Jackson as the Senate began voting to "discharge" the nomination from the panel, propelling it to the full Senate.

"Their endorsement came after Collins last week became the first Republican senator to announce her support for Jackson. read more". . .

What Conservatives Found Peculiar About Mitt Romney's Decision on Ketanji Brown Jackson (townhall.com)


. . ."It's always those three—always. When it comes time for Republicans to unite, they will find some reason to stab us in the back. The Romney hate erupted within the ranks of the conservative base and for good reason. Not only did Romney stab us in the back, but he had also previously voted against Judge Jackson for her lower court appointment. She’s not qualified for the appeals court, but she’s a-okay for the Supreme Court. That’s the anti-Trump GOP for you, everyone. Luckily, they’re a breed that’s rapidly approaching extinction.

. . . And if these three were to not ever hold their offices again, the Senate Republicans would be infinitely better off. Matt Vespa
