The National Guard of Ukraine has shared video footage of “Azov fighters” greasing bullets with pig fat for Chechen “orcs” deployed in their country on their verified Twitter account. The Checehn Republic, a Muslim-majority federal subject of the Russian Federation headed by Islamist strongman Ramzan Kadyrov, is reported to have sent forces to Ukraine to support President Vladimir Patin’s ongoing invasion of the country, with Kadyrov sharing video footage which purports to show Chehen fighters replacing the Ukrainian flag with a Russian flag at a captured military facility. Kadyrov has boasted he could amass a 70,000-strong force to send to...

Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera said Wednesday on “The Five” that conservative media went from “support to incitement” of truckers protesting COVID restrictions in Canada. Rivera said, “You know what is not popular in Canada is this trucker, this ‘Freedom Convoy.’ What about the freedom of the homeowners to live in peace? What about the freedom of the shopkeepers to do business? What about the freedom of the autoworkers to get parts so they can put their cars together?”

One Pennsylvania school board member has a message for parents: "No, I don't work for you." York Suburban School District school board member Richard Robinson wrote an op-ed in the York Dispatch explaining his claim.

A new law has the owner of an emotional support pig crying wee wee wee at home. A 100-pound potbelly pig has become the subject of a criminal investigation and longtime scrutiny in the upstate New York village of Canajoharie, where owner Wyverne Flatt, 54, has been harboring the porker as new legislation determined the emotional support animal couldn’t be legally kept in his home. But Flatt — who is readying for criminal trial with risk of prison time and $18,000 in civil fines to defend his supposedly soothing swine named Ellie — says that the town’s new laws against...

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) ripped former President Trump on Twitter Wednesday, stating that the former commander-in-chief did not take "specific and immediate action" on Jan. 6, adding that it was "supreme dereliction" of his duty in office. The tweets come after Cheney, a member of the House select committee to investigate the Capitol riot, read text messages on Monday from Trump allies to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows into the public record. The messages from allies including Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and the former president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., urging Meadows to get Trump...

BREAKING: CNN says host Chris Cuomo is 'suspended indefinitely' after it was revealed he used his media sources to find out info on brother Andrew’s accusers

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently found herself persona non grata at a meeting of the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Thursday as she attempted to persuade left wing Democrats to sign off on bipartisan infrastructure legislation. Multiple sources confirmed to The Uprising that Pelosi was “kicked out” of the meeting by Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal. “She got kicked out and said she was leaving anyway,” a Democratic staffer, who was granted anonymity to discuss the confidential meeting, said of Pelosi. Spokespeople for Pelosi and Jayapal did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Pelosi was observed entering the meeting and...

Surgeons at a New York City hospital have successfully attached a pig’s kidney to a person, whose immune system didn’t immediately reject the organ — a ground-breaking procedure that may one day lead to the use of animals in life-saving transplants. The recipient at NYU Langone Health was a brain-dead woman who received the kidney of a pig whose genes had been altered so its tissues no longer harbored a molecule known to trigger almost immediate rejection, according to Reuters. The family of the patient — who showed signs of kidney dysfunction — consented to the experiment before she was...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women who worked for the state and elsewhere, according to report by state Attorney General Letitia James. Cuomo then retaliated against a former employee who complained publicly about his conduct, James’ report says. The probe into numerous women’s allegations of sexual harassment by Cuomo began in March, after the state’s executive chamber granted James’ request to investigate.

Hee-Haw Jill Biden met the Queen today in Windsor Castle. The First Lady forgot her hose and went bare-legged for the visit with the Queen. But at least this was better than the first impression she set on Friday. Jill Biden forgot to buckle her belt during her first meeting with the Queen. Joe Biden was just as tacky wearing aviators for his visit with Her Majesty. And, of course, he was taking cues from Nurse Jill on what to do next.

Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has returned to CNN. Toobin, a longtime pundit on the network, had been on leave since October after he exposed himself on a Zoom call with fellow staffers at The New Yorker last year, a publication he had worked at for 27 years. After being suspended from The New Yorker following the incident, Toobin apologized and said he unintentionally exposed himself to his coworkers during a break on the call. "I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers," Toobin said at the time. "I believed...

No, that is not David Chipman standing in the ruins of the burnt-out Waco compound, site of the 1993 slaughter of members of the Branch Davidian religious group led by David Koresh. He was too busy back at the office helping to manufacture and disseminating lies about what went on at the compound to justify a brutal, murderous, and unnecessary assault. The animus he exhibited in his tenure at ATF towards gun owners and gun rights, to the point of using violence as a gun-control tactic, reflects a view he holds today and shares with the likes of Biden “gun...

Meghan McCain told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) was a “pig and a pervert” in light of the allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him by several former aides. When asked about Cuomo’s press conference addressing the accusations, McCain said, “Oh, God. I mean, first of all, he looks like he’s in a hostage video. He’s not even like really apologizing. He looks like a mechanical robot reading. If an old man, a 60-something-year-old man, is asking a 25-year-old woman would you have sex with an older man, what do you think she...

Is insulting someone by calling them a “pig,” “sloth,” or “chicken” actually insulting animals? Well, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) seems to think so! In a recent tweet, they shared an infographic with alternative words to common animal-based insults such as snake (try “jerk” instead), rat (“snitch”), or pig (“repulsive”). They ask that people use these alternatives because “using animals as insults perpetrates speciesism.”

The Biden campaign is taking flack for a recent television ad featuring a struggling Michigan bar owner that the ad neglects to mention is actually an affluent veteran tech investor who donated to the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign. Joe Malcoun, who is introduced in the ad as the “co-owner” of The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Mich., backed Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s stringent lockdown orders that kept businesses shuttered for months but says he blames President Trump’s administration for his business’s pandemic woes. the ad does not mention Malcoun’s other business ventures, including being an “angel investor” in several...

It’s not the first, but will it be the one to gain momentum? Among tech billionaire Elon Musk’s many projects is a smallish one called Neuralink, which is working on brain-computer interfacing. Last week, Musk released a video demonstrating Neuralink’s current status, in the form of a chip implanted in the brain of a domestic pig. So how big a deal is this? Chips implanted in animal brains are not particularly new; electrodes attached to brains in order to monitor their activity have been around for decades. Many older systems enabled physical actions with brain activity alone. In other words,...

Groups of leftist activists and rioters in Portland, Oregon, continue to oppose law enforcement officers in the city, but the latest reported action by demonstrators apparently was crafted to send a disturbing message to police. Journalist Andy Ngo, who lives in the city and uses social media to give updates on the activities of Antifa and other activists, said the group used a severed pig’s head to send a message to police Friday morning. “Antifa protesters dumped a bloody severed pig’s head on an American flag outside the Justice Center in downtown Portland. They put a cop’s hat on it...

BERLIN - A German nudist had the last laugh after giving chase to a wild boar that had run off with a bag containing his laptop. Pictures posted on social media show the naked man running after a sow and her two piglets to the mirth of fellow bathers at Berlin's Teufelssee, or Devil's Lake.

In the ever-evolving world of left-wing anarchy which runs rampant in the City of Portland, we learn of an ever stranger true story. Apparently, people who had planned to protest or riot, not sure which, decided they would utilize a live animal to display their level of discontent with civilized laws. In order to do so, they had planned on beheading a pig (which symbolizes police, according to them) in a public setting. However, before being able to go through with it, the pig got away and police located and saved it. Nothing says love and peace like beheading a...

A staffer for Joe Biden's presidential campaign quickly deleted anti-law enforcement commentary on social media after Fox News inquired about the posts. Sara Pearl, who describes herself as a supervising producer for the Biden campaign, repeatedly derided law enforcement in recent weeks amid calls for police departments to be defunded. In one post from June, Pearl urged others not to call police officers "pigs," a label commonly used to deride law enforcement, because “pigs are highly intelligent and empathetic animals who would never racially profile you.” She also retweeted a comment to that post that labeled cops as "monsters," who...
