MOSCOW, February 11. /TASS/. No presidential election will be announced in Ukraine on February 24 as an election campaign can only be initiated at least six months after martial law is lifted, said Olga Aivazovskaya from a parliamentary group working toward an election.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Financial Times reported, citing sources, that Ukraine plans to hold a presidential election and a referendum on a peace deal with Russia by May 15. According to the British paper, Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky may make an announcement as early as February 24.

“Team work on drafting laws to hold the first post-war election is ongoing, and it is understood that at least six months must pass after martial law is lifted before an election campaign can begin,” she wrote on Facebook (banned in Russia, owned by Meta, a corporation recognized as extremist in Russia).

Billionaire Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are the latest California billionaires to buy a home in South Florida.

California is experiencing a historic capital flight, with billions of dollars and some of its most powerful economic actors heading for the exits. Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are the latest to decamp to South Florida, joining Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Peter Thiel—moves widely attributed to California’s proposed billionaire wealth tax and a hostile regulatory climate. The fallout has been immediate: California’s billionaire taxable base has reportedly collapsed from over $2 trillion to well under $1 trillion in a matter of weeks. At the same time, major employers are fleeing outright—Valero Energy is paying a staggering $1.1 billion just to exit the state, shutting its Benicia refinery and taking jobs, tax revenue, and nearly 9% of in-state gasoline capacity with it, as Phillips 66 follows suit. With California already leading the nation in outmigration per the U-Haul Growth Index, economists now warn of surging gas prices, supply instability, and a shrinking tax base—costs that will ultimately be shifted onto the middle class as the state’s wealthy individuals and industries vote with their feet.

The Meta CEO’s purchase makes him the latest—and arguably the biggest—name in a wave of Silicon Valley billionaires putting down roots in South Florida. Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have both made purchases in the Miami area in recent weeks. Page picked up multiple properties in Coconut Grove for roughly $188 million, while Brin is reportedly in talks for a $50 million home on Biscayne Bay. Venture capitalist Peter Thiel opened a Miami office for his investment firm on New Year’s Eve, making his Florida move official. (Times of India)

Referring to the Supreme Court of India, the headline boasts “SC’s Landmark Ruling Allows 30-Week Abortion For Minor”.

The Times of India matter of factly explains

A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan said the key issue was the minor’s right to decide whether she wanted to continue the pregnancy. They observed that the girl was a minor facing an unfortunate situation and did not wish to give birth.

Amit Anand Choudhary describes the decision to authorize aborting a child who weighs about 3 pounds, whose eyes can open and close, whose hands are fully formed, who may respond to voices or music, and whose “lungs are not fully mature but the baby is practicing breathing motions” even more sympathetically

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that “as long as Russia continues to kill people and destroy our infrastructure, there will not be sufficient public trust in active diplomacy.”

“This is important for all of Ukraine’s partners – in the United States and Europe – to understand,” he said.

He said that “security issues are the key priority right now,” as Ukraine faces continuing attacks, including on civilian population and energy infrastructure.

If insufferable Rep. Eric Swalwell is moving his lips, there’s a good chance he’s lying. The California Democrat with a fetish for Chinese Communist Party spies spent his time at Tuesday’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing demonizing federal immigration law enforcement agents to score political points with the anarchist wing of the far-left Democratic Party.

But Swalwell, a candidate for governor, ensnared himself in one of the biggest lies the left has told about the Department of Homeland Security agents sworn to enforce the nation’s immigration laws: The fractured fairy tale that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers “grabbed” a 5-year-old boy and used him as “bait, forcing him to knock on his own door so they could arrest his father.” It’s a load of crap, but that didn’t stop Swalwell from repeating it as his lackey held a blown-up photo of the kid behind him. You know what they say about a lie traveling halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Radical Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has argued that sharp rhetorical “clapbacks” carry greater importance than strict accuracy in the current political environment.

Speaking with Vox interviewer Amistead Herndon, Crockett reflected on a prior verbal clash with then-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during a congressional hearing.

Crockett said Greene had a “bleach blonde, bad built butch body.”

Recalling the comment prompted Herndon to ask:

“As much as the phrase blew up, should we want our politicians to be clapback artists?”

“I think that in this moment you have to understand that politics has changed,” Crockett replied.

She continued by claiming Democrats are “viewed as the doormat for the Republicans.”

“[Voters] continue to say, ‘Where’s the opposition? Where’s the fight?’

Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson used an AI-generated image of Alex Pretti’s death in which a federal immigration agent is missing his head during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday. Thompson is the same man who chaired the Jan. 6 Committee, which was also caught fabricating “evidence.”

While Thompson was chiding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for allegedly creating a “demonstrably false story” about Pretti’s death, an apparent staffer held up an AI-generated image of Pretti with Border Patrol agents standing over him, and one of the agents is headless.

A shooting rampage at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left 10 people dead and more than 25 injured on Tuesday, marking one of the deadliest school attacks in Canadian history.

Authorities said the gunfire erupted shortly after 1:20 p.m. local time at the high school in the remote community. Six victims were killed inside the building before the suspect was later found dead from what police described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A seventh victim died while being transported to a hospital. Investigators also discovered two additional bodies at a nearby residence believed to be connected to the attack, reportedly the suspect’s mother and younger brother.

This year may have barely begun, but it has already witnessed many threats to President Donald Trump and members of his administration.

Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, and he faced another serious assassination attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida, two months later. The first assassin died in the attempt, and a judge sentenced Ryan Routh, 59, to life in prison plus 84 months last week for the second attempt.

Two events last year highlighted the rise of political violence on the left: the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the comments of Democrat Jay Jones, who now serves as Virginia’s attorney general, wishing for the death of his political opponents. (Jones apologized for the comments after National Review exposed them.)

Chaos reigned outside a Mogadishu, Minnesota courthouse. A rapid response until of constitutional observers witnessed ICE agents arresting someone who could have easily been one of your friends and neighbors, or even YOU. At least, that is, if you were caught with fifty pounds of methamphetamine. That was the person whom agents had to chase on foot before taking him into custody, but you wouldn’t know it if you glazed legacy media headlines on the X-Twitters.

Because let’s be honest. I know that you know that they know most people will just read the headline and use that to form their opinions.

We’ll start our story with ICE agents arresting a man who was charged with possessing over FIFTY POUNDS of meth. Note: When the media or the left (but I repeat myself) report that the majority of ICE arrests are people who were not charged with violent crime, they are talking about people like this guy and his fifty pounds of meth.

Despite his position as a Hollywood elite, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel likes to think of himself as a man of the people who cares for the little guy, but on his Tuesday show, Kimmel made the strange claim that illegal immigrants are “raising your children.”

While talking about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s congressional testimony where he was questioned about his appearance in the Epstein files, Kimmel sarcastically declared, “But this was encouraging. Congressman Lisa McClain, a Republican from Michigan, is speaking out and loudly against Epstein’s co-conspirators.”

The transgender individual alleged to be responsible for Tuesday’s deadly shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School has been identified by a close family member as Jesse Strang.

Juno News reported that it spoke directly with Russell G. Strang, Jesse Strang’s uncle, who confirmed that his nephew was responsible for the attack. The outlet’s managing editor, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, stated on X that he had spoken with the suspect’s uncle and added that a YouTube account believed to belong to Jesse Strang features the transgender flag and lists “she/her” pronouns. The account also reportedly displays an SKS-style rifle. He also linked to his exclusive report.

Original story follows:

A school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia left 10 dead and 25 injured on Tuesday night. The RCMP said that the shooter is among the dead after a self-inflicted gun shot.

A motive for the rampage, which occured before 1:20 pm local time, at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence has not yet been determined and North District commander Ken Floyd of the British Columbia RCMP has declined to identify the shooter in any way.

However, a police alert earlier in the day stated that the suspect was a “female in a dress with brown hair.”

Virginia Democrats in a House of Delegates subcommittee have defeated a Republican-backed measure that would have helped pregnant women find abortion alternatives.

The vote proves Democrats are pro-abortion, not pro-choice.

The legislation would have required abortionists to inform women seeking about “safe haven provisions,” including baby boxes as an alternative to abortion. These are places where women who give birth can leave an unwanted baby for adoption, such as a police station or fire house.

We’re told this is about dignity, compassion, and “shortening death, not life.” We’re told there are guardrails. We’re told this is safe.

I don’t buy it. It’s a lie, and we all know it. Anyone paying attention in Canada, the UK and others parts of the globe understand this expansion is something bigger. This is an entire world beginning to speak one language. The language of death.

I’ve heard this language before. Institutions always speak this way when they’re about to cross a moral line they don’t want to fully name.

Iran’s atomic energy chief says Tehran is open to diluting its highly enriched uranium if the United States ends sanctions, signalling flexibility on a key demand by the US.

Mohammad Eslami made the comments to reporters on Monday, saying the prospects of Iran diluting its 60-percent-enriched uranium, a threshold close to weapons grade, would hinge on “whether all sanctions would be lifted in return”, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.

Eslami did not specify whether Iran expected the removal of all sanctions or specifically those imposed by the US.

Australian politicians urged restraint on Tuesday after police in Sydney clashed with people protesting the visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who is accused of inciting a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Police made at least 27 arrests amid allegations of excessive force used against protesters and rights groups, reports said. Violence broke out on the evening of 9 February after thousands of people gathered near Sydney Town Hall to oppose Mr Herzog’s visit.

The New South Wales Police said officers moved to clear the area after demonstrators attempted to breach blockades, resulting in arrests. Ten people were accused of assaulting police officers.

PBS led the charge in insurrectionist propaganda this week when it left Boston Globe Columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker essentially spin a conspiracy theory that the Hitlerian ICE agents are going to make sure the Republicans win the 2026 midterms and finalize their fascist masterplan. This week was filled with DNC criminal media info-terrorist attacks on Americans. No arrests have been made, so far.

Stohr threw out the libelous invective, which was only affirmed by Parker. She claimed, “… I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”

Parker added to the info-terrorist attack in her effort to signal to the DNC’s Antifa Army to continue the murderous assault on American ICE agents, “ “And he can’t let it go because I think he’s taken a page from Mein Kampf, frankly, you know, the saying that if you say—tell a big lie often enough and repeat it, then people will believe it. And the theory was further refined by the propaganda head in Nazi Germany, Mr. Joseph Goebbels. And the idea is, apparently, it’s true that—they would know, I guess—that people will believe a big lie quicker than they will believe a small lie.”

PBS Guests Invoke Hitler, Jim Crow Over ICE-Election Conspiracy Theory – newsbusters.org

Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post counterpart Kathleen Parker pinch-hit for Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks, respectively, on Friday’s PBS NewsHour, where they teamed up with host Geoff Bennett to invoke Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and Jim Crow all over a conspiracy theory about ICE monitoring the upcoming midterms that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed as “very silly.”

During an answer about whether Trump’s call to “nationalize” elections is serious or just bluster, Stohr added a few more election-related concerns, “But I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”

A remarkably candid column appeared in the New York Times this week by Spain’s left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who recently announced his government would grant amnesty to half a million illegal immigrants living in Spain. Framed as an argument for “why the West needs migrants,” Sánchez’s essay is really an admission of moral collapse, and a frank declaration that he intends to destroy his nation in exchange for short-term economic gain.

It is an admission of moral collapse because the Spanish government has signaled its willingness to erase their country, put the interests of foreigners above those of native citizens, and turn Spain into a magnet for Third World migration.

Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?

As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.

“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.

“Of course, Trump hasn’t had nice things to say about McConnell, and vice versa, but I think it’s personal, no matter what (McConnell) says,” the aide added.

The 83-year-old former Majority Leader’s latest trip to the hospital this week for “flu-like” symptoms has slowed the pace even more so on whatever version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) the listless GOP majority believes can squeak through. But McConnell’s intransigence on a bill that humbly asks for proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections has been felt over the nearly 300 days since the Republican-controlled House passed the measure.

Daniel Huff, a former White House lawyer, noted in a recent analysis that the drive toward diversity and inclusion in the airline industry has put passengers at risk.

In an article for the New York Post, Huff wrote that President Donald Trump was right to rescind diversity efforts at the Federal Aviation Administration.

That’s because female and minority pilots — many of whom entered the industry amid a drive toward diversity among pilots — were responsible for half of pilot-error crashes.
