On the ground, Russian Federation forces keep advancing – just this week, they took control of the settlements of Soloviove and Kislovka in Donetsk region and Kotliarivka and Novokalinovo further north in the Kharkov region.

In the meantime, Ukraine keeps getting pounded by artillery and airstrikes, with the attacks lately focusing on power plants.

Overnight, Russia launched no less than 55 missiles and 21 Geranium (Shahed) drones, the Ukrainian air force said.

Associated Press reported:

“Russian forces unleashed a nighttime barrage of more than 50 cruise missiles and explosive drones at Ukraine’s power grid Wednesday, targeting a wide area in what President Volodymyr Zelensky called a ‘massive’ attack on the day the country celebrates the defeat of Nazism in World War II.”

The bombardment struck seven Ukrainian regions, including the Kyiv area, damaging the rail network.

“Russia has repeatedly pounded Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the war that is stretching into its third year and has claimed thousands of lives. By taking out the power, the Kremlin’s forces aim to rob Ukrainian manufacturing of its energy supply, especially military plants, and crush public morale.”

Russian attacks have so far damaged nearly half of Ukraine’s power infrastructure since the start of the war. The mass strikes also drain Ukrainian air defenses of ammunition.

“Russia pummeled Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the ‘blackout winter’ of 2022-23. In March, it launched a new wave of attacks, one of which completely destroyed the Trypilska power plant near Kyiv, one of the country’s biggest.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has framed the attacks as retaliation for Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries. On Wednesday, a Ukrainian attack hit an oil terminal, injuring five workers and starting a fire, Russia-appointed authorities in the partially occupied Luhansk region said.”

Russian strikes have become less frequent in recent weeks, as Moscow is stockpiling resources for a major battlefield offensive that is expected to come within weeks.

“National electrical grid operator Ukrenergo said facilities were hit in the Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Poltava and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.”

According to YouTube, the speech violated their “hate speech” policy by “inciting hatred of groups because they belong to a protected group.”

The viral speech, which she delivered at CPAC Hungary in Budapest, discussed the invasion of Europe’s borders by mass immigration that she likened to a form of “great replacement.”

Disgraced former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo with so-called doctor Leana Wen (Credit: Andrew Cuomo/Youtube)

Disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), who resigned amid sexual harassment scandals, admitted in a recent interview with so-called public health expert and COVID-19 vaccine advocate Leana Wen that his administration never had the actual authority to enforce pandemic mandates, despite imposing them with a tyrannical approach during the COVID-19 crisis.

During the discussion, the Democrat former governor expressed his perspective on the fading public trust in government authority, particularly concerning health mandates.

“I believe if the government were now to say, ‘We just made a finding that there’s a new virus, and everyone should do X, Y, and Z,’ the amount of compliance with X, Y, and Z would be much, much lower than it was at the beginning of COVID because people do not trust the government, especially on this issue, the way they did at the beginning. That would be a complicating factor. When you have people who just don’t listen because the government had no capacity to enforce any of this.

You must wear a mask. People wore masks in New York. But if they said, ‘I’m not wearing a mask,’ there was nothing I could do about it.

You must close your private business. ‘I won’t.’ Well, there was nothing I could really do about it. It was really all voluntary, and it was extraordinary, you think about it, that society acted with that uniformity voluntarily because I had no enforcement capacity. You have a reduced trust in government.”

WATCH:

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now comfortable telling you the truth about the government’s lack of authority to enforce mandates:

— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) May 7, 2024

Contrary to his claims that the compliance with health directives during the pandemic was “all voluntary” and that there was “no capacity to enforce” these measures, these assertions are misleading and revisionist.

Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, Governor Cuomo exercised tyrannical authority, implementing strict mandates that affected millions of New Yorkers.

His administration’s directives, which included mandatory mask-wearing even for children over the age of two and the closure of nonessential businesses, were enforced under the threat of penalties or prison and were not merely voluntary suggestions as he now claims.

The state of New York leads the country in terms of COVID-19 deaths despite having the highest vaccination rate.

Cuomo’s policies killed at least 11,000 seniors during the COVID pandemic. New York COVID deaths from nursing homes were 49% greater than previously reported.

The main reason for this is that Governor Andrew Cuomo had a policy that nursing homes had to accept patients who were infected with the virus. Thousands of elderly people died as a result.

Back in May 2020, The Gateway Pundit reported that New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo, Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, MD, and Executive Deputy Commissioner Sally Dreslin’s actions led to thousands of deaths in New York state.

In response to his actions, Cuomo released a book lauding his COVID-19 accomplishments. He made millions on this COVID book.

The New York Joint Commission on Public Ethics ordered disgraced former Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo to return the $5.1 million he made from his Covid book deal.

In a 12-1 vote, the commission ordered Cuomo to pay the state $5.1 million in profits he made off the backs of taxpayers after killing thousands of elderly people.

Back in July 2021, the Biden Department of Justice dropped their investigation into Cuomo and several Democrat governors who sent infected COVID patients into nursing homes.

There will be no justice for the tens of thousands of Americans who were killed due to these irresponsible policies by these crooked Democrats, including Andrew Cuomo.

Parents in North Carolina are taking legal action against their local school board after they suspended their 16-year-old son for using the term “illegal alien.”

As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Christian McGhee was suspended from Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina and also smeared as a racist after he asked a question about the word “alien” during a vocabulary exercise.

“Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?” he reportedly asked his teacher.

This question then led to a confrontation with another student, and the matter was consequently escalated to the assistant principal, who determined he had been “offensive and disrespectful” towards his Hispanic classmates, leading to his suspension.

The term “illegal alien” is the correct term used to refer to foreign citizens who have entered the U.S. illegally. Open borders oppose its usage because it emphasizes that migrants have broken the law.

Now, the Liberty Justice Center is taking up the case and suing the Davidson County Board of Education for violating his constitutional rights.

This is Christian. He’s a 16-year-old student in @CDHSSPARTANS.

He was suspended for 3 days after using the term “illegal alien” in an English assignment because it’s “offensive” and “disrespectful.” Now his record could be damaged.

Please support this based student by helping… pic.twitter.com/kz9GGtKmI4

The Center announced the lawsuit in a press release on Tuesday:

On May 7, the Liberty Justice Center filed a lawsuit against the Davidson County Board of Education on behalf of Christian McGhee, a sixteen-year-old student whose question about the word “aliens” in English class led to a harsh suspension and false accusations of racism by his own school.

On April 9, sophomore Christian McGhee raised his hand and asked his English teacher whether her reference to the word “aliens” referred to “space aliens, or illegal aliens who need green cards?” Although there was no substantial disruption to the class, the school decided to suspend Christian for three days out of school, with the administration equating his question to a vicious racial slur. Christian was also prohibited from competing in a season-defining track meet. No appeal was permitted.

Having been branded as a racist by his school, Christian’s return was met with ostracism, bullying, and threats. Concerned for his safety, his parents unenrolled him and he is now completing the semester through a homeschooling program.

The Liberty Justice Center is suing the school board on behalf of Christian and his family for violating his rights to free speech, education, and due process. The lawsuit argues that the school board had no legal justification to suspend Christian because his comment was protected speech under the First Amendment. The lawsuit also seeks to remove the suspension from Christian’s academic record.

“Even though Christian asked a factual, non-threatening question—about a word the class was discussing—the school board branded him with false accusations of racism,” said Buck Dougherty, Senior Counsel at the Liberty Justice Center.

“The school has not only violated his constitutional right to free speech, but also his right to due process and his right to access education, a guaranteed right under North Carolina law,” he continued. “We are proud to stand beside Christian and his family in challenging this egregious violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.”

“I have raised our son to reject racism in all its forms, but it is the school, not Christian, that injected race into this incident,” added Leah McGhee, the boy’s mother. “It appears that this administration would rather destroy its own reputation and the reputation of my son rather than admit they made a mistake.”

A 27-year-old German politician has been convicted of incitement to hatred for discussing rape statistics in Germany.

Marie-Thérèse Kaiser, a local leader in the Alternative for Germany (AFD) party, was fined and given a criminal record for asking questions about the disproportionate number of migrants from Afghanistan convicted of sexual assault.

The European Conservative reports:

The Verden regional court in Lower Saxony has upheld a verdict against Rotenburg AfD leader Marie-Thérèse Kaiser for incitement to hatred. The 27-year-old was also found guilty in the appeal hearing on Monday of inciting hatred against Afghan local workers.

For this, the politician now has to pay 100 day fines (a type of fine related to daily income of the convicted) plus a fine of €60, a total of €6,000. In Germany, you are considered to have a criminal record if you are sentenced to pay more than 90 day fines.

The charge was based on a post that Kaiser had spread on her social media accounts in August 2021. In it, she wrote: “Afghanistan refugees; Hamburg SPD mayor for ‘unbureaucratic’ acceptance; Welcoming culture for gang rape?”

Among other things, the politician linked to an article showing that Afghans in Germany are particularly heavily involved in gang rape.

The issue caught the attention of X CEO Elon Musk, who pointed out that she was merely citing government statistics.”

“Are you saying the fine was for repeating accurate government statistics?” he wrote in response to a tweet from End Wokeness. Was there anything inaccurate in what she said?

Such verdicts are increasingly common in Germany, where the left-wing globalist regime has passed a plethora of “hate crime” laws and has even threatened to ban the AFD for supposed extremism.

Back in February, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz lashed out at Donald Trump after he suggested that America would not protect countries that do not pay their fair share.

NATO’s promise of protection is without restriction: all for one, one for all. Any relativisation of the mutual defence guarantee is irresponsible and dangerous. Nobody is allowed to play or do deals with Europe’s security. We will strengthen NATO for the security of Europe.

“NATO’s promise of protection is without restriction: all for one, one for all,” he wrote at the time. “Any relativisation of the mutual defence guarantee is irresponsible and dangerous.

Illinois residents have been left puzzled and alarmed by the sudden appearance of orange water flowing from their taps. What could possibly be causing this bizarre phenomenon? As the source of the strange discoloration remains a mystery, residents are growing increasingly concerned about the safety of their drinking water.

Upon further investigation, it has been revealed that the culprit behind this alarming situation is none other than iron pollution. While this may come as a surprise to many, experts have long warned about the dangers of iron contamination in our water sources. And unfortunately, it seems that Illinois has fallen victim to this silent enemy.

Horror as residents in small Illinois town are forced to bathe and brush teeth with foul-smelling orange water due to mysterious addition to water supply https://t.co/EYDVIGGQpA . #Trump2024 pic.twitter.com/DYoF0AfiI7

— NahBabyNah (@NahBabyNah) May 7, 2024

But how exactly does iron pollution turn water into a bright orange hue? The answer lies in the chemical reaction between iron and oxygen. When iron particles come into contact with oxygen, they form rust, which then mixes with the water, resulting in the unmistakable orange tint. And with the high levels of iron found in Illinois’ water sources, it’s no wonder that the tap water has taken on this alarming color.

While iron pollution may not pose any immediate health risks, it can have serious long-term effects on our bodies. Excess iron consumption has been linked to liver damage and heart disease, making it a cause for serious concern. And for the residents of Illinois, who have been unknowingly ingesting this tainted water, the potential consequences are alarming.

— TheDyingFly (@Fl60898Fly) May 7, 2024

But how did the iron levels in Illinois’ water get so high in the first place? Some experts believe that it could be due to the aging infrastructure of the state’s water systems. With many of these systems over 100 years old, they are more susceptible to corrosion and contamination. And with limited resources for upgrades and repairs, the problem only continues to worsen.

As the situation in Illinois continues to unfold, residents are left wondering what can be done to address the issue. The state government has pledged to invest in improving the water infrastructure and implementing stricter regulations for water quality. However, many are skeptical and are calling for more immediate action to ensure the safety of their drinking water.

In the meantime, residents are advised to use alternative sources of water for drinking and cooking, such as bottled water or a filtration system. It’s a small but necessary precaution to avoid potential health risks. As for the fate of Illinois’ orange water, only time will tell if a solution can be found to this alarming problem.

So, the next time you turn on your tap and see a bright orange flow, remember the cautionary tale of Illinois and the dangers of iron pollution. Let it serve as a reminder to always be vigilant about the quality of our drinking water and the potential threats lurking within.

What are YOUR thoughts?

Retired US Army colonel: ‘They’re not bluffing’; Russian tactical nuke drills are loud warning to US/NATO to stay out of Ukraine

Russian troops are sitting at the doorstep of victory in Ukraine, whose forces look just weeks away from collapsing given the current situation on the ground. Ukraine is losing 500 to 800 men every day and showing signs of cracking.

But Western globalists are talking tougher than ever and threatening Russia with new forms of direct military warfare from the West. Don’t believe for a second that our Western puppet leaders will let go of their anti-Russia, anti-Putin crusade — they’re too far in, have too much invested, and there’s simply too much money to be made by their financial benefactors.

Government officials in the US, UK and France continue to ratchet up the war rhetoric against Russia by threatening the country with Western troops and the possibility of using UK-supplied long-range missiles to strike deep into the heart of Russia.

If Russia succeeds in its war with Ukraine, and it’s not a matter of if but when, U.S. Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries announced on CBS News Sunday that the U.S. will intervene directly with troops. Think about what this means.

“We cannot allow Ukraine to fall, because if it does, there is a significant possibility that America will have to intervene in the conflict — not just with our money, but with our troops,” he told CBS News.

Then, like a cynical puppet of the blood-drenched military-industrial complex, Jeffries mouthed the favorite talking points of the neocon war hawks, showing he answers to the same faction of billionaire greed-mongers as the GOP leadership in Congress.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to “restore the Soviet Union” to “threaten NATO countries,” he said. This is the same baseless messaging that has been repeated over and over the last two and a half years by the likes of Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Nikki Haley, Senator Lindsey Graham and all of the other war hawks on the other side of the aisle. When it comes to foreign policy and being salesmen for perpetual war, there is not a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties. They are the Uniparty.

The Russian government wasted no time responding to what it perceives as a growing threat from the US and NATO to send troops into Ukraine.

The Russian news outlet RT.com is reporting Monday a strong message from Moscow warning of dire consequences if any NATO country sends troops into Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron has been the most outspoken about the possibility of sending troops to fight Russians in Ukraine, but now Congressman Jeffries has taken it to a new level with his comments to a major establishment news outlet over the weekend.

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron was also quoted by Reuters last week that Ukraine has the right to use long-range missiles sent by the UK to strike deep inside Russia.

The Russians tailored their response to the British and didn’t mince words.

Moscow said it will retaliate against British targets in Ukraine or elsewhere if Kiev uses UK-provided missiles to strike Russian territory, the Russian Foreign Ministry told London’s ambassador on Monday.

RT.com reports that Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the ministry following the remarks by Cameron to Reuters.

”Casey was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement following the meeting.

As noted by RT, the US and its allies had previously qualified their deliveries of long-range weapons to Kiev by saying they could only be used on territories that Ukraine claims as its own – Crimea, the Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Cameron’s statements to the contrary “de facto recognized his country as a party to the conflict.”

Russia sees Cameron’s comments as “evidence of a serious escalation and confirmation of London’s increasing involvement in military operations on the side of Kiev,” the ministry added.

Casey was urged to “think about the inevitable catastrophic consequences of such hostile steps from London and to immediately refute in the most decisive and unequivocal manner the bellicose provocative statements of the head of the Foreign Office.”

Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry announced an exercise to test the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. President Vladimir Putin ordered the drills after “provocative statements and threats” by Western officials, the military said.

Putin said that if troops get sent in from any Western country, that country’s troops will be immediately prioritized and vaporized. He has said that sending nuclear missiles to London, Paris or Berlin is also an option that will be used if Russia feels threatened by a ground invasion from the West.

Here is Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Earl Rasmussen warning that Putin should not be seen as bluffing.

‘They’re not bluffing’: Russian tactical nuke drills are loud warning to NATO to stay out of Ukraine

“This is a signal to the Western leaders that they are serious. They are not bluffing,” retired US Army Lt. Col. Earl Rasmussen told Sputnik, commenting on Monday’s statements by… pic.twitter.com/OK9FrGDH8v

— Sputnik (@SputnikInt) May 6, 2024

According to the article by RT, Moscow hopes the nuclear drills will “cool down the ‘hot heads’ in Western capitals and help them understand the possible catastrophic consequences of the strategic risks they generate,” as well as “keep them from both assisting the Kiev regime in its terrorist actions and being drawn into a direct armed confrontation with Russia,” the Foreign Ministry said in a follow-up statement.

It looks more and more like World War III will get ramped up into direct warfare between the US and Russian superpowers, perhaps sooner than any of us thought. It could even happen before the November US presidential elections.

Pray for peace. Prepare for war. It’s very likely coming to U.S. soil. Godspeed.

New documents reveal the US State Department knew in July 2020 the COVID virus was leaked from a Wuhan lab. They hid this from the American public for years.

The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released shocking statements and documents on Tuesday night that reveal that the U.S. State Department knew COVID leaked from a Wuhan Biolab and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) covered it up.

The documents reveal that the State Department knew this since July 2020.

The highly redacted documents show enough proof to see the US Government has been lying to the American public since at least July 2020. They knew all along it was a leak from a bio lab.

“These classified documents were previously released in an unclassified and highly redacted FOIA production to US Right To Know. Today, Chairman RepBradWenstrup requested StateDept rapidly declassify the documents and share the truth about the origins of COVID-19 with the American people,” the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic wrote on X.

The letter, addressed to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, reads:

The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (Select Subcommittee) is investigating the origins of COVID-19. Since April 2, 2020, Committee on Oversight and Accountability Republicans have investigated the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) role in obscuring the truth regarding the initial outbreak, and whether any U.S. taxpayer dollars funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s (WIV) dangerous gain-of-function research.’ On February 27, 2023 we wrote to the Department requesting information pertinent to this investigation.’

Pursuant to that letter, the Department recently produced classified documents to the Select Subcommittee that were previously released in an unclassified and highly redacted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) production to U.S. Right to Know.? These documents contain highly pertinent information that credibly suggests:

COVID-19 originated from a lab-related accident in Wuhan, China;
The CCP acted to prevent, and in fact obstructed, a fulsome investigation into these matters; and
A seamless relationship between the WIV and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.

The American people deserve to see the information that is hidden under these redactions.

We write to you today to request that you immediately take steps to declassify this information such that the American people have a more complete picture of the government’s evidence regarding the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To ensure that these documents are expeditiously reviewed for declassification, the highly redacted FOIA versions are enclosed. In addition to the rapid commencement of a declassification review, the Select Subcommittee requests a staff level briefing to occur before May 14, 2024.

This briefing was previously requested on April 24, 2024 with the goal of it occurring prior to the Select Subcommittee’s hearing with the President of EcoHealth Alliance, Inc.—and known WIV collaborator—Dr. Peter Daszak. However, the Department responded that it could not support a briefing on that timeline.

The Select Subcommittee is authorized to investigate “the origins of the Coronavirus pandemic, including but not limited to the Federal Government’s funding of gain-of function research” and “executive branch policies, deliberations, decisions, activities, and internal and external communications related to the coronavirus pandemic” under H. Res. 5.

The US and CCP hid this from the public.

NEW- Chairman @RepBradWenstrup of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus says he’s seen classified State Dept. docs that “credibly suggest COVID-19 originated from a lab related accident in Wuhan, China.”

And that the CCP “…attempted to cover-up the lab leak.”

The documents are highly redacted, yet you still can see what they contain, and it is explosive.

The emailed report was dated July 20, 2020.

The report revealed that the lab leak was covered up by Beijing officials — AND later US officials!

Xi lied to obfuscate his role in the cover-up — then American officials lied to cover up for Xi!

The report includes Chinese documents!

So why did US officials cover up for China?

Why did they lie for years now to the American public? Were they protecting Xi?

Did President Trump know, or did they keep this from him, too?

What about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo?

Here are the highly redacted documents from the US State Department.

Jason Whitlock with NFL star Antonio Brown (Credit: Jason Whitlock/Youtube)

In a recent episode of ‘Fearless with Jason Whitlock,’ American sports columnist Jason Whitlock sat down with former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, who spoke about his political preferences and expressed support for former President Donald Trump over Joe Biden.

During the interview, the former Pittsburgh Steeler reflects on some of his most controversial incidents, including his heated social media exchanges with the G.O.A.T. and America’s favorite athlete, Caitlin Clark. Brown also shares his version of the “fake” COVID-19 vaccination card saga.

What truly captured viewers’ attention was Brown’s candid take on politics. Whitlock delved into Brown’s political leanings with a direct question:

“Where are you at on the political spectrum? You’re not a fan of Joe Biden or what?” Whitlock asked.

“No, I like Donald Trump. I’ve seen Joe Biden online. He was shitting on himself and falling all over. I’m like, ‘Yo, what’s going on with him?’ He’s got teleprompters everywhere. I’ve got a good political opinion, but I want the world to be a better place. I feel like I probably could do better with Trump helping more businesses and coming back and taking over in 2024,” Brown responded.

Whitlock pressed further, asking, “So you think Biden pooped his pants in that other video?”

Brown replied, “That’s what the video shows; he was looking real shitty. I know we all make mistakes. I mean, you shit yourself before, right?”

Whitlock chuckled and admitted, “Actually, I have, but go ahead.”

Whitlock was talking about a particular video of Biden that had been circulating on social media. The video showed Joe Biden standing awkwardly, leading to edited versions where it appeared he had pooped himself.

Brown continued, saying, “I just feel like the country, we need to do a better job, you know what I’m saying? With everything that’s been going on, the pandemic, the shots, everything.”

When asked if he had ever met Trump, Brown revealed, “I met him on the phone before. Talked to him on the phone with Tom Brady one time. Yeah, he seemed like a cool guy.”

“You think Brady likes Trump but just can’t admit it?” Whitlock asked.

“Yeah, he probably definitely likes the candidate. I can, though. Shout out to Donald Trump,” Brown said. “On the President’s election… I might be coming to one of his inauguration… I may be coming to one of the speeches.”

Whitlock suggested they head down to Mar-a-Lago to “kick it” together. Brown responded enthusiastically, “Let’s go, man. We’ll be the n***** of the day for that. That’d be a good segment for us, man.”

Brown last appeared in a game on January 2, 2022, playing for the Buccaneers. His refusal to play due to an ankle injury led to his dismissal from the sidelines, and his subsequent outburst while heading to the locker room resulted in his release. He has not been signed by another NFL team since then.
