Synopsis: The Russian T-14 'Armata' has been deployed to active duty in the Russian army but will not see combat in Ukraine. The Russians cannot afford to have their latest tank destroyed in combat. Which makes the T-14 a very expensive parade vehicle and nothing more. The video also includes footage of Russian soldiers looting a Ukrainian village. BS is called on the Russian narrative about their 2022 'Peace Deal'. Residents of Mariupol complain that Russian colonists are taking over the new apartments in the city while the 'liberated' ethnic Russians continue to live in squalor. The video ends with...

VIDEOHere are a couple of Eurovision LOSERS, in every sense of the word, from Ireland and the UK. Somehow Eurovision has devolved into a Flaunt Fest Freak Show in which talent has split the scene. The funniest thing is contestants such as these idiots that have been supporting Hamas during the Eurovision contest would be IMMEDIATELY tossed off the rooftops if they ever ventured to places such as Gaza or Iran.

CNN’s Manu Raju reported over the weekend from Appomattox, Virginia on the effort inside the House GOP to oust one of its own, Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), who is the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. Raju both aired his report on CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday and published an article on CNN.com detailing the various House Republicans openly campaigning in support of Good’s GOP primary opponent, state Sen. John McGuire. Raju noted that campaigning openly against a House colleague is “a tactic long viewed as a serious breach of protocol but one that underscores the bad blood within the House...

Outside the winners in Joe Biden’s America, the American people as a whole are getting hammered by Joe Biden and his leftist policy agenda. Here’s are highlight of the “losers” in Joe Biden’s America. Gen X/Gen Z/Students But didn’t students get their “student loans” waived? How come they’re not winners? The future is not bright for most people under 50. You are seeing (and will see) a continued deterioration of the dollar and a diminishing standard of living if you vote for Democrats. As Ronald Reagan succinctly stated, “You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for...

Jimmy Kimmel took a moment during the Oscars telecast right before Al Pacino took the stage to present best picture to “Oppenheimer” to read aloud Donald Trump‘s latest social media post that bashed Kimmel as this year’s Oscars host. “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars,” Trump asked his followers. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos. He...

Doomed CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and violence, is looking to cut “more than $50 million” in anchor salaries.(snip)Normal people watch these CNN losers operate and ask themselves, How can they lie so shamelessly? How do they live with themselves, spreading all this hate, division, violence, and racism? Well, now you know. These soulless propagandists are bought and paid for.Personally, I think CNN failed to understand one key thing when negotiating these salaries: Leftists like Jake Tapper are probably willing to serial lie and meddle in elections for free. You give that guy cab fare and...

At least 100 Palestinian men have been pictured stripped to their underwear, bound and lined up on their knees, after reportedly being captured by Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza. Shocking footage shared by Israeli media appears to show Israel Defence Forces (IDF) troops rounding up scores of men and transporting them on the back of trucks. The men allegedly surrendered in the Jabalia refugee camp and other areas around northern Gaza, with Israeli outlet Walla saying they were stripped 'to rule out the possibility that they were carrying weapons'. Dozens of captives are reported to have been paraded through Palestine...

Since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended, Israel has been pushing forward relentlessly to destroy every Hamas stronghold, whether above or below ground. In Khan Younis, one of Hamas’s last redoubts, the Hamas fighters finally decided against martyrdom and surrendered en masse. There are a few notable things about the surrendering Hamas troops, and they destroy some of the propaganda we’ve heard so much about. First, here are the stills and video of the surrendered Hamas men:Thank you Hashem for letting the Jewish people start Hanukah with a smile thanks to this mass surrender of Hamas terrorists in Gaza....

Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis rubbed salt on the wound Wednesday by trolling his opponent, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, over her heavily scrutinized vow to require all social media users be verified. DeSantis' campaign announced new merchandise mocking Haley's comments, including a t-shirt with the phrase, "Always Watching," and a quote from Haley saying that "every person on social media should be verified by their name." Another item is a dystopian-themed "Official Internet Identification Card"

[EXCERPT]So here’s the situation we face now: the RNC has kept an iron claw on the debate process, preventing candidates from facing off in any other venue than their predetermined choices. They’ve done so while allowing the leading candidate, former president Donald Trump, to skate by, avoiding any requirement to debate or participate. The effect has been embarrassing to say the least — too many candidates, too little time and a Univision-backed questioner in the second debate who was heinous, inaccurate and essentially functioned as a Democratic plant.The RNC has done a terrible job of managing this cycle, just like...
