In a tweet after the 40-minute audience, Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Francis for “his personal attention to the tragedy of millions of Ukrainians.” He said he spoke with the pontiff “about the tens of thousands of deported (Ukrainian) children. We must make every effort to return them home.”

Last month, Ukraine’s prime minister, Denys Shmyhal, asked the pope to help get children returned from Russia to Ukraine. But the Vatican’s statement Saturday made no mention of the request. Instead, the Vatican said the two men spoke about Ukraine’s “humanitarian and political situation provoked by the ongoing war.”

The IPCC paper reveals that “there is still one last chance to shift course.” But it will – naturally – “​​require industrialized nations to join together immediately to slash greenhouse gases roughly in half by 2030 and then stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere altogether by the early 2050s.” How many other times have we heard that we were either approaching our last chance to save ourselves from global warming, or that our opportunity to do what is “right” had already passed us by?

So many deadlines, so many “now or nevers” have come and gone that it’s almost impossible to track them all. The climate cranks are like the doomsday cultists who have the end of the world marked on their calendars and when it doesn’t arrive they say, “Whoops, my math was bad. Let me recalculate and I’ll get back to you with a new date.”

While the international hotheads are screeching about impending doom, levelheaded observers point to data that clearly show a pause in warming, which has been mild and as likely natural as it is human-caused, has now reached eight years and nine months. There has been no rise in global temperatures from July 2015 to March 2023. This fact-based claim draws on satellite readings from the University of Alabama in Huntsville that measure temperatures in the troposphere, a much more accurate method of keeping score than the shoddy records produced by ground-based weather stations.

Babies reliant on formula for their survival, either because breastfeeding has not been possible or effective, or because they’re adopted, are some of the most heartbreaking victims of regulatory incompetence. You may not realize that the critical shortage of baby formula that made headlines two years ago is still in effect. Initially the news covered reasonable complaints of parents, and Facebook support groups like “Baby Formula Search and Swap: Parents Helping Parents” cropped up, but these grassroots work-arounds are no substitute for a regulatory enterprise doing its job.

The shortage was created when the FDA closed the Abbott Nutrition food processing plant in Michigan after two babies died from allegedly consuming baby formula from the plant. Reports said the bacteria responsible for their deaths did not match bacteria found “in the product-contact areas in the Sturgis plant. This came after two routine FDA reviews concluded that the site was operationally safe.” Abbott is responsible for 40% of the US baby food market, so why was the FDA unconscionably slow in helping the plant reopen?

The FDA is supposed to protect us, the people, from rapacious corporations cutting corners and taking advantage of the most vulnerable. Instead, the FDA is protecting giant food and drug companies from us. The FDA needs to call off the war on America’s babies and do its job. In the meantime, parents would be wise to prioritize breastfeeding whenever possible, explore making their own baby formula and weaning their babies onto foods that they blend up in their own kitchens. Government doesn’t have our backs.

“World Economic Forum Executive Chair.”

Since it’s well established that Musk isn’t stupid, that leaves only two possible conclusions. Either he thinks we’re stupid and so hooked on his platform that we won’t be skeptical of a high ranking member of a purely evil organization running the show… or he’s compromised and under the control of Klaus Schwab et al.

There is a line of Supreme Court cases, starting in 1923 with Meyer v Nebraska, recognizing that parents have constitutional rights regarding their children. These rights, not found in the text of the Constitution, are still good constitutional law, even though they are spoken of in the case law as being based on the now discredited legal theory of “substantive due process of law.”

“Due Process of law” is a legal doctrine dating to medieval England. It was always understood to be a shorthand reference for all the procedures the government needed to comply with when seeking to strip a person of life, liberty, or property. Those included such things as a jury trial, a right to be informed of the charges, a right to confront one’s accusers, etc. Our nation, with its English legal system at our founding, enshrined the doctrine of “due process of law” in the Fifth Amendment. The legal doctrine of “due process of law” was applied to the states by the 14th Amendment in the wake of the Civil War.

I suppose we should be grateful Risden will be serving his sentence in a male prison where I’m sure he’ll ditch his newly acquired female ID for fear of a whole lot more than ridicule. But why throughout the entire court case did the Judge, and indeed our justice system, afford him the courtesy of being addressed as Miss Lexi Rose Crawford. It’s an insult to the woman he raped. And it’s an insult to our collective intelligence.

And why exactly did the judge allow the farcical situation of allowing evidence to be given about Risden raping “HER” friend with “HER” penis. Women don’t have penises so why is our legal system pandering to this nonsense and allowing the use of this terminology which is, in effect, respecting a rapist’s wishes. It defies sense. The woke BBC’s headline screamed : “Bristol Trans Woman Jailed for Rape.” No, a Bristol man was jailed for rape. And how strange Risden only began identifying as a woman when he was released from jail after serving four years for child sex offences.

But just to add insult to injury this lawyer added: “SHE wants the jury to take into account HER age and what SHE’S been through.” It literally beggars belief. Risden’s been through nothing. It’s his poor victim who’s suffered. And for the record he was 24 when he brutally raped his friend – old enough, you’d think, to know that rape is wrong.

“A lot of broken glass, a lot of broken dishes, a lot of broken liquor from upstairs,” Stephanie Hughes, a local restaurant manager, told the station after the Thursday afternoon quake. “Everything was shaking. Customers were fleeing onto the lawn,” said Hughes. People reported feeling the earthquake all the way to Sacramento, about 160 miles (260 kilometers) south.

“We will find [ourselves] in a new situation [after the fighting ends], in which Europe on the one hand and Russia on the other hand will defend themselves against each other over the medium term,” the German president said. Steinmeier pinned the blame on Moscow for the erosion of European security, maintaining that neither the German government nor the EU was responsible.

The comments came one day after EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell asserted that the Ukraine conflict could be ended within days, should the flow of Western arms to Kiev cease. Borrell acknowledged, however, that such a scenario would not lead to the outcome Brussels was hoping for. Russia has repeatedly stated it is ready to resolve the conflict through peaceful means, as long as its goals are achieved and its interests are taken into account.

The propaganda offensive is of a massive scale. According to the Defense Ministry’s press release: “In order to reach citizens across Germany, the campaign will be played out nationally — on analog and digital poster motifs, at a wide range of touchpoints and on giant posters in strategically important locations throughout Germany.” In addition, there will be ads “on social media and relevant websites.” A YouTube video of the campaign glorifies the deployment of fighter pilots, Marine special forces, warships and armored infantry advancing east.

Having completed the integration of the Dutch army with the Bundeswehr in March, plans for a German-led European missile defense are now being pushed forward. The stated goal of the ruling class is to defeat the Russian army in Ukraine and end US military supremacy in Europe.

The United Kingdom has delivered multiple “Storm Shadow” cruise missiles to Ukraine, giving the nation a new long-range strike capability in advance of a highly anticipated counteroffensive against Russian forces, multiple senior Western officials told CNN.

These missiles do not have enough range to get to Moscow, but they do have the potential to hit strategic targets very deep inside Russian territory. According to CNN, the UK government “has received assurances from the Ukrainian government that these missiles will be used only within Ukrainian sovereign territory”. Of course the Ukrainians consider Crimea to be their “sovereign territory”, and the Russians also consider Crimea to be their “sovereign territory”.

We are already involved in a proxy war with Russia which could soon turn into a shooting war, a major regional conflict in the Middle East could erupt at any moment, and our politicians are publicly talking about a coming war with China. I think that we are definitely in a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, but most of us in the western world are still completely and utterly clueless. Most people that live in the western world still believe that our leaders are competent and that they have everything under control. Unfortunately, by the time they realize the truth it will be far too late to reverse course.

Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”

What is more, the events of the Russian revolution can only be understood now, at the end of the century, against the background of what has since occurred in the rest of the world. What emerges here is a process of universal significance. And if I were called upon to identify briefly the principal trait of the entire twentieth century, here too, I would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy than to repeat once again: “Men have forgotten God.”

According to NBC, HSBC downgraded Anheuser-Busch InBev stock on Wednesday to hold saying there are “deeper problems than ABI admits” after a recent social media partnership in April between the Bud Light brand and Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, resulted in a wave of backlash. This is turning out to be one of the worst marketing campaigns in history.

The most recent evidence of this goal comes from the International Commission of Jurists, which joined two UN agencies to issue a reportadvocating that all “consensual” sex between adults and minors be decriminalized. From Principle 16 – Consensual Sexual Conduct:“Consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of the type of sexual activity, the sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status, may not be criminalized in any circumstances… With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner.”

The end game of normalizing pedophilia has been hinted at for some time. A critical step, as always, is to distort language. “Pedophile” has become “minor-attracted person” (MAP), which certainly takes the edge off. TED talkers insist that MAPs should not be stigmatized for their attractions as long as they exercise self-control around children (a talent for which pedophiles are not famous). These and other “experts” (and Minnesota legislators) describe pedophilia as a sexual orientation to be protected under state nondiscrimination law.
