    The White House is working to put advanced anti-ship missiles in the hands of Ukrainian fighters to help defeat Russia's naval blockade, officials said, amid concerns more powerful weapons that could sink Russian warships would intensify the conflict. Ukraine has made no secret it wants more advanced U.S. capabilities beyond its current inventory of artillery, Javelin and Stinger missiles, and other arms. Kyiv's list, for example, includes missiles that could push the Russian navy away from its Black Sea ports, allowing the restart of shipments of grain and other agricultural products worldwide.

    Amid protests over the killings of Black citizens that have lasted almost a month, President Trump retweeted videos of Black men attacking white victims in separate incidents — one of which occurred last year — while wondering why they did not spark protests like the nationwide demonstrations over the death of George Floyd. Shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday, the president retweeted a Twitter thread about an October 2019 incident in which a 28-year-old Black man was seen on a video pushing a white woman on a subway platform in Brooklyn. “So terrible!” Trump tweeted. The woman was not hurt. The...

    Early Friday morning, President Trump tweeted, “Iran is playing with fire — they don’t appreciate how ‘kind’ President Obama was to them. Not me!” Earlier in the week, both the president and National Security Advisor Mike Flynn said they were putting Iran “on notice,” without defining what that notice meant. Mr. Trump likes to keep our adversaries guessing, and that’s a good thing, if he actually does it. More definitively, a statement by Flynn said, “The days of turning a blind eye to Iran’s hostile and belligerent actions toward the United States and the world community are over.” For the...

    (Ansonia-WTNH, Apr. 8, 2006 11:20 PM) _ An Ansonia 12-year-old is in some trouble tonight after he claims he was abducted and assaulted by White men in robes. The boy claimed that he was attacked because of the color of his skin. Now, it turns out that Ansonia police have determined the boy's story is a lie. Ansonia police told us earlier today they were investigating a claim of an assault to a child. His mother originally told us her child told her he was the target of racism. In fact, she was so scared she, and the NAACP asked...

    BEIJING (Reuters) - China has warned diplomatic rival Taiwan to stop "playing with fire" with moves toward independence ahead of presidential elections on the island in March. Wang Zaixi, vice-minister of the Chinese cabinet's Taiwan Affairs Office, said the moves by Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian posed a great threat. "If Chen will recklessly take more risky pro-independence moves...it will trigger tension and even a clash in bilateral ties," Wang was quoted on Thursday as telling the China Daily newspaper. "Taiwan authorities should stop playing with fire." China considers Taiwan a renegade province that must be reunified eventually, and by force...

    THEY FOUND HIM IN A HOLE It’s only natural that they found him in a hole in the ground. It put him that much closer to hell. Because that is where Saddam Hussein belongs. It is where Saddam Hussein has drawn his inspiration. It is the home of the god Saddam Hussein worships. Not the Allah of Islam. But the serpent of the garden. We must never fear calling a spade a spade, or a devil a devil. And Saddam Hussein is that. He long since stopped being a man and became a partner with evil. A disciple of darkness....

    Daughter held in deadly fire Dad, girlfriend killed in blaze after fight at Oak Cliff complex 03/02/2003 By CONNIE PILOTO and JAIME JORDAN / The Dallas Morning News Two people were killed in a fire early Saturday after a 29-year-old woman doused her father with a flammable liquid and then chased him into their apartment "with what appeared to be a lit cigarette lighter," said homicide Sgt. Ross Salverino. Neighbors in the southeast Oak Cliff complex told police there was a flash, then they saw 52-year-old Carl W. Burton leap in flames from a second-story window. As the fire...
