A confused Joe Biden has mistaken a national sports team with a notorious paramilitary group while on his grand tour of Ireland. Gaffe-prone American President Joe Biden has once again provoked confusion and laughs after he conflated a national sports team with a notorious 20th-century paramilitary group. The comments came late on the commander-in-chief’s second day of touring Ireland, with Biden meeting with extended family members still resident on the island. According to a report by POLITICO, Biden’s slip-up originated from an attempt to praise one of these extended relations, that of famous Irish rugby player Rob Kearney, who during...

1. We attended the RNC on the South Lawn of the White House Thursday night. And when we departed the Democrat Party mob and rioters were violent, crazed, and organized. There were no peaceful protesters whatsoever.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 30, 2020 2. The police were trying to protect the attendees but they were outnumbered. We could also see and feel that this was deadly serious.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 30, 2020 3. The police pushed the perimeter out in every direction. The mob was not spontaneous or organic. These are paramilitary-type forces, well-financed and networked,— Mark...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States waged a series of precision air strikes on Thursday against an Iran-backed militia in Iraq that it blamed for a major rocket attack a day earlier that killed two American troops and a 26-year-old British soldier. The U.S. strikes appeared limited in scope and narrowly tailored, targeting five weapons storage facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah militants, including stores of weaponry for past attacks on U.S.-led coalition troops, the Pentagon said. In a statement, Iraq’s military said the U.S. air strikes hit four locations in Iraq that housed formal Iraqi police and military units, in...

The use of “technicals” by military forces to round up citizenry as part of genocide. This post looks into the role that (so called) “technicals” play in national upheavals. A “technical” is a pickup truck that has been modified into a mobile heavy weapons platform. These machines have been commonly used in just about every national conflict over the last two decades. Here, we look at the role that they have, and why there are used. As opposed to other vehicles constrained for other purposes. Summary A technical is a light improvised fighting vehicle, typically an open-backed civilian pickup truck...

Independent Journo BasedPoland was collecting soundbites as the violent crowd began shoving him. The usual MF-centric swearing begins. A female disguised by a red kerchief the independent journo a sharp, unprovoked KONK on his head with her flag pole: At 0:13 BasedPoland shifts his attention leftwards to her, then gets his weight moving forward as, still clutching his microphone, he delivers a very sharp jab directly to his attacker's face: Her violence...

KALISZ, Poland — For evidence of how much President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has jangled nerves and provoked anxiety across Eastern Europe, look no farther than the drill held the other day by the Shooters Association. The paramilitary group, like more than 100 others in Poland, has experienced a sharp spike in membership since Mr. Putin’s forces began meddling in neighboring Ukraine last year. Thirty students took an oath to defend Poland at all costs, joining nearly 200 other regional members of the association — young men and women, boys and girls — marching in formation around the perimeter...

Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah, concerned about the armed agents that surrounded Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s property, introduced a bill to cut funding for any “paramilitary units” that work for the Bureau of Land Management, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal regulatory agencies. “There are lots of people who are really concerned when the BLM shows up with its own SWAT team,” he said on the House floor on Tuesday, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. “They’re regulatory agencies. They’re not paramilitary units, and I think that concerns a lot of us.”

A recording proving that Russia is backing separatists in eastern Ukraine has surfaced online.

The SBU has identified the number calling the separatists in Ukraine as having a Russian +7 area code.
