BREAKING: Putin Puts Russian NUCLEAR FORCES on Alert

The Russian invasion of Ukraine continued over the weekend with Ukrainian resistance ramping up to the point where Vladimir Putin has threatened further escalations all the way up to using nuclear weapons. On Sunday, the Russian president put nuclear forces on “high alert.” Sanctions from the west ramped up over the weekend including the announcement of a number of Russian banks being removed from the SWIFT payment system used for international transactions. This has resulted in the value of the Russian Ruble dropping 30% in just two weeks and a run on the banks out of fear that the Russian financial system could be collapsing. Also over the weekend, US intelligence officials reported that Belarus is preparing to join Russia in the invasion of Ukraine. Russian and Ukrainian leaders met today on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border for peace talks but it’s not apparent that they went anywhere. Surely, this will be another major week in global politics with no sign of peace coming anytime soon.

Trump Announces 2024 in Dangerous Speech to Rabid CPAC Audience

The 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) took place over the weekend and it was headlined by an erratic speech from Donald Trump. The former president didn’t officially announce a 2024 run, however he strongly implied it by saying, “[Democrats] are going to find out the hard way starting on November 8th and then even more so on November 2024. They will find out like never before. We did it twice and we’ll do it again.” During the rest of the speech, Trump had some extremely awkward moments, including at one point singling out Congressman Ronnie Jackson, who was Trump’s White House physician. He said about Jackson, “he knows every inch of me and he thinks it’s actually a beautiful sight.” The rest of the speech was full of Trump playing his greatest hits, including falsely claiming he ended the wars in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, bragging about his Supreme Court picks, and lying about Hillary Clinton spying on his administration.

Fox Host Calls Out HIS OWN AUDIENCE After COVID Hospitalization

Fox News host Neil Cavuto returned to the airwaves last week after a second battle with COVID-19. Cavuto has been open about having a number of health complications including having multiple sclerosis and being a cancer survivor. This made him particularly susceptible to catching a dangerous case of the virus. The Fox host called out those in his audience who wanted him dead, saying they didn’t get what they wished for. He also addressed the anti-vax crowd, saying, “I am among the vulnerable 3% of the population that cannot sustain the full benefits of a vaccine. In other words, it simply doesn’t last. But let me be clear, doctors say had I not been vaccinated at all, I wouldn’t be here. It provided some defense but that is still better than no defense.” It’s curious that Cavuto still chooses to report the news to an audience of many people who don’t like him, but ultimatley it’s better him than whoever Fox would replace him with.

From over the weekend:

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Isn't Crazy

Marjorie Taylor Greene went to the Infowars studio to speak with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and insisted that she’s not a crazy person. Greene said on air, “they treat me as if I’m some kind of crazy person, like I have three horns coming out of my head. But what they don’t understand is that they’re the ones who are crazy.” MTG has a habit of projecting her shortcomings onto other people. At an event in Texas last week, Greene said that her colleague, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, isn’t smart because she worked as a bartender. Of course, not only is AOC intelligent, there are countless bartenders and people of all sorts of professional backgrounds with a high intellect. But Marjorie, as someone who had a career working at her dad’s construction company and running a CrossFit gym. maybe thought she had to overcompensate for perceived lack of intelligence. Perhaps the reason so many people are treating Greene as crazy and dull is because she simply is.
