[Video] Schab has returned for the 82nd commemoration of the Pearl Harbor attack. HONOLULU
(HawaiiNewsNow) - Pearl Harbor survivor “Ike” Schab is back in Honolulu. The 103-year-old was greeted with applause Sunday as he got off his flight from Portland. Schab has returned for the 82nd commemoration of the Pearl Harbor attack. It’s a trip that almost didn’t happen because of an illness, but Schab was determined to make it to this year’s ceremony. While it’s been more than eight decades since the Pearl Harbor attack, Dec. 7 still brings back his memories of being there. ”And they’re not necessarily...

Whatever practical cooperation emerges from this week's summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, their deepening relationship is aimed at sending their rivals a warning, analysts said. Calling
each other "comrade", the men toasted their friendship on Wednesday after Putin showed Kim around Russia's most modern space launch facility and they held talks alongside their defence ministers.

Furious US Open crowd jeer as Extinction Rebellion climate protester who glued himself to floor is ejected along with his comrades after holding up Coco Gauff's semi-final win for 50 minutes (only 7.38 years left)

| 9/08/23 | Patrick Djordjevic, Will Potter
Eco-zealot group Extinction Rebellion sparked fury after halting Coco Guaff's US Open semifinal win - before tennis fans taunted and jeered as the protestors were hauled out of Arthur Ashe Stadium. Three climate thugs brought Guaff's game vs. Karolina
Muchova to a stop for almost an hour as they howled 'End fossil fuels', with one deciding to glue his feet to the concrete in protest. But spectators had the last laugh as the demonstrators - whose group hails from the UK and has repeatedly frustrated events in the name of global warming - were thrown out of the stadium surrounded...

Chinese comrades are well aware of both the real state of health of the Russian president and his tricks with a double. Xi
Jinping is also aware of Putin's therapy that began on March 5 and the deterioration of his health. The decision of the Chinese leader at the end of March to accept the invitation of the Russian president and visit Russia is connected precisely with the full awareness of Xi Jinping and his desire to hold a meeting when Putin is as weak and vulnerable as possible. The Chinese leadership regularly informs about the trends and prospects for...

The very LAST of The Few: John 'Paddy' Hemingway, 103, tells ROBERT HARDMAN of his many brushes with death and how he still grieves for all the comrades he lost as the final surviving Battle of Britain pilot

| 12/23/2022 | ROBERT HARDMAN
Looking back on it all more than 80 years later, Group Captain John 'Paddy' Hemingway starts to chuckle: 'I just wondered what would happen next — and luckily the right thing happened next!' That
is one way of recalling an experience so terrifying that most of us would probably have nightmares to our dying day. One moment, on the afternoon of August 26, 1940, Pilot Officer Hemingway, aged 21, was flying his RAF Hawker Hurricane head-on towards a fleet of German Dornier bombers bound for London in broad daylight. The next, he took a bullet in the wing — then...

With Xi Jinping’s stunning shift back into Maoist totalitarianism, China is destined to become an economic mess once again. China’s
opening to the world economy, particularly to the U.S. and Europe, now looks to be over. A new communist dark age will soon descend. In China’s 20th party congress, which ended last weekend, we saw a very ugly glimpse of the future for the Middle Kingdom. Not only did Xi cement his position as absolute ruler of the nation of 1.4 billion, but showed he’ll do anything to keep power. The image of an aging former President Hu Jintao apparently...

Russian troops abandoned a key Ukrainian city so rapidly that they left the bodies of their comrades in the streets, offering more evidence Tuesday of Moscow’s latest military defeat as it struggles to hang on to four regions of Ukraine that it illegally annexed last week. (snip) Over the weekend, Russian troops
pulled back from Lyman, a strategic eastern town that the Russians had used as a logistics and transport hub, to avoid being encircled by Ukrainian forces. The town’s liberation gave Ukraine an important vantage point for pressing its offensive deeper into Russian-held territories. Two days later, an Associated...

Karl Marx is one of the most well-known deadbeats of 19th century history. So
inept (or perhaps incapable) of financial provision, his wife once sold his last pair of pants for food; consistently delinquent on rent, he used fake names to dodge creditors; and in a letter to his friend-turned-sponsor Engels, Marx’s mother wrote, “if only Karl made capital instead of just writing about it.” Given the fact he offered nothing substantial, to either his family or society, it should come as no surprise that he “birthed the toxic tenet of communism.”In his writing, he discussed his hatred for property...

A brutal sect of feared Chechen soldiers executed 'heavily wounded' Russian troops in a 'field hospital' that was situated northwest of Bucha, eyewitnesses have claimed. The
Kadyrovtsy, who have been used as a PR tool in Vladimir Putin's war, allegedly murdered their own comrades and 'operated a torture chamber' in a glass factory on Yablonska Street - confirming previous reports by Ukraine's ombudsman for human rights, Lyudmila Denisova. Artem Hurin, a member of the city council of the neighboring town of Irpin who also serves as a deputy commander in Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces, was one of the first to...

A captured Russian soldier has described how he was shot at and his comrade killed after fellow troops opened fire on them when they tried to protect Ukrainian civilians. In
a video, the POW described how he and a lieutenant tried to save a woman in her 20s, and her mother, after Russian soldiers were given orders to fire on civilians on February 24 in Kharkiv. In the clip, the captured soldier claimed he was shot in the foot, and the lieutenant killed, when other troops realised the pair weren't shooting at civilians. It comes as a separate video showed...

I could comment on how China didn’t let either a global pandemic or a muted global concern over their human rights violations stop them from throwing a really big party to celebrate the opening of the Olympic games. It
wasn’t as creepy as their 2008 Summer Olympics opening, which showcased 5000 identical drummers drumming in unison…They chose a much less threatening theme this time around: snowflakes,and hearts…Ironic, no?It was touching; cute kids singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” – in what passed for English – and the IOC President urging everyone to just “give peace a chance” – also in what passed...

To make sense of the current war on the family—and make no mistake, there is one—we must travel back to early 20th-century revolutionary Russia and then pass by Hungary on our way home. Because,
odd as it may seem, recent snapshots from across our nation are all related. The Department of Justice targets parents for challenging the school’s racialist curriculum. Police officers arrest a dad after he exposes that his daughter was raped in her school’s bathroom by a boy in a skirt. A politician declares, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” These scenarios...

Afghanistan: A look inside the abandoned US detention centre at Bagram airbase - as tearful Taliban fighters vow to avenge comrades

The notorious detention centre built by the Americans inside the huge Bagram military base is a terrifying place even when empty. It's
known locally as Afghanistan's Guantanamo. Those who were held here feared they'd never leave. Many who did leave have never been the same since. We're the first Western television team to get inside the infamous prison. Both the Americans and their Afghan security partners are particularly sensitive about outside eyes seeing inside. We squeeze through twisted sheets of corrugated metal where captives forced their way out hours after the capital fell to the Taliban and only weeks after...
