ANALYSIS – The ongoing brutal COVID lockdown in Shanghai shows us where much of America was headed under Democrat leadership. In Shanghai, communist Chinese police officers are going door-to-door, covered head-to-toe in face shields and hazmat suits, forcibly taking entire families into government quarantine because one person on their floor tested positive for COVID-19. Recall only a few months back, police officers in various (mostly Democrat-run) U.S. cities arresting unmasked Americans outside on open public beaches, or aggressively enforcing lockdowns everywhere they could, as well as vaccine mandates with intrusive ID checks, as Democrat politicians pushed for more and more coercive…

Bureau whistleblowers are claiming that the FBI is using the January 6 riot at the Capitol as a pretext to perform a political purge of agents. This purge targets FBI agents and other employees who simply exercised their constitutionally protected rights and attended the January 6 rally — and committed no crimes. “The employees did not enter the United States Capitol and have not been charged with any crime” but are allegedly still being fired, said the House Judiciary GOP in a Twitter post on Friday, citing unnamed whistleblowers at the Bureau. https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1522594775957913606 In response to a letter from Republican lawmakers to the FBI…
As western arms supplies to Ukraine get bigger and include heavier weapons, Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht announced Friday that Germany is sending seven of its biggest, most modern artillery pieces to Ukraine. The self-propelled, 155mm Panzerhaubitzen (PzH) 2000 rapid-fire howitzer systems, with a range of 25 miles. They can fire up to 10 rounds per minute. And that’s “on top of five such artillery systems the Netherlands had already pledged,” according to Reuters, giving Ukraine 15 of these very big guns. Howitzer training for Ukraine’s troops is expected to begin next week. Billed by the manufacturer, KMW, as “the world’s most modern howitzer,” adding that: A…

ANALYSIS – I have written about how the staggering number of Russian generals killed in combat in Ukraine is a big deal. Some have argued that Russian brigadier generals are more akin to NATO colonels, hence not as significant and that their doctrine relies on ‘leading from the front.’ This is especially true since they can’t rely on their junior officers and noncommissioned troops. However, to me, this still could not explain the number of senior commanders killed in only a few weeks of fighting – now reportedly up to 12. Especially since there has been no information of any Ukrainian commanders…

Though the letter Z does not exist in the Russian Cyrillic alphabet, it has nonetheless become synonymous with leader Vladimir Putin’s unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine ever since the letter was seen emblazoned on the invading forces’ vehicles. But why the letter ‘Z’? The Kremlin has claimed the letter stands for the phrase ‘za pobedu’ (for victory), while the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine says it identifies units from Russia’s Eastern Military District, and when seen inside a square — Russian forces from Crimea. As part of Putin’s programmed nationalistic surge, Putin supporters and hacks have…
In order to bolster his case against Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in the investigation of the discredited Steele ‘Russia Collusion’ Dossier used to smear former President Donald Trump, Special Counsel John Durham has alerted the judge presiding over the case against a former Clinton campaign lawyer that Hillary and the DNC likely violated campaign laws. This, in order to show that they are lying about the opposition research firm Fusion GPS (Fusion) doing legal work for them, hence having legal ‘privilege’ to keep them from disclosing documents relating to their conspiracy to smear Trump. The Epoch Times (ET) notes that: “Fusion’s services…
ANALYSIS – While the war in Ukraine is a key battleground at the moment, none of us should lose sight of the fact that China is the nation’s primary geopolitical and military threat now, and for the next few decades. In fact, Russia’s invasion has highlighted the Chinese military threat to an independent Taiwan. Sadly, despite the Pentagon’s various statements, they aren’t putting their money where their mouth is. According to an unclassified fact sheet about the Pentagon’s National Defense Strategy that was released in March — though, Russia, North Korea and Iran are mentioned — China is declared the Defense Department’s…
