Russian poisonings aim to kill -- and send a message
Russian poisoning meant to send message: experts
Polonium, Novichok and now dart frog poison: the finding that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed with a rare toxin has revived the spectre of Moscow’s use of poisons against opponents -- a hallmark of its secret services, according to experts.

As that German saying goes, if you see 11 people seated at a table with a Nazi, you’re looking at a table of 12 Nazis.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Goddamn.
Canada is even cutting the U.S. out of the loop on defense spending. That is a whole lot of money Trump just lost for his country.
Well, as the kids say, FAFO Donald. 😂

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

We know why Mar-a-Lago was the location from which so many women were trafficked

The real question is, why didn't the mainstream media cover this story back in 2015, when they could've saved us from this nightmare
Rep. Robert Garcia: "Why was Mar-a-Lago a location where women continued to be trafficked from. We have questions for President Trump. And the broader issue here is why wasn't this investigated when these accusations were heard by the FBI years ago?"

The first North American to win a world title in a downhill event, her championships changed how the government funded alpine skiers.
