An Arizona prosecutor isn’t budging in her refusal to turn over a murder suspect to the Manhattan DA — implying Thursday that she doesn’t trust him to keep the accused killer locked up.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell told “Fox & Friends” she will prosecute Raad Almansoori for two violent felonies on her turf before she considers turning him over to New York — prompting Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to break his silence in the legal kerfuffle just hours later and blasting Mitchell for “grandstanding” and “playing politics.”
“County DA Mitchell has, I don’t know how to say it, has gotten it wrong at every single turn,” Bragg said at a press conference. “She professes concern that a murder suspect in Manhattan would be released?

The acclaimed CBS reporter who was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop scandal before she was fired last week had her personal files seized by the network in an “unprecedented” move, sources told The Post on Thursday.
Catherine Herridge — who is the middle of a First Amendment case being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among 20 CBS News staffers let go as part of a larger purge of hundreds of employees at parent company Paramount Global.
Her firing had stunned co-workers, but the network’s decision to hold on to her personal materials, along with her work laptop where she may have other confidential info, has left many staffers shaken, according to insiders.

Colorado Man Dies After Bite From Pet Gila Monster
A Colorado man has died after being bitten by his pet Gila monster in what would be a rare death by one of the desert lizards if the creature’s venom turns out to have been the cause.
Christopher Ward, 34, was taken to a hospital shortly after being bitten by one of his two pet Gila monsters on Feb. 12. He was soon placed on life support and died Friday, Lakewood Police Department spokesman John Romero said Tuesday.
Jefferson County coroner’s officials declined Tuesday to comment on the death, including if tests showed yet whether Mr. Ward died from the pet’s venom or from some other medical condition.
Mr. Ward’s girlfriend handed over the lizard named Winston and another named Potato to Lakewood animal control officer Leesha Crookston and other officers the day after the bite.

COVID ‘Boosters’ Block Natural Defense Against Cancer, Study Warns
A bombshell new study has warned that Covid “booster” shots block the body’s natural defense from preventing cancers and other deadly diseases.
The scientists behind the study found that the so-called “boosters” shots were linked to higher levels of IgG4 antibodies.
After receiving the injections, the body’s ability to activate white blood cells becomes impaired.
Due to the overproduction of IgG4 antibodies, the Covid mRNA shots destroy the body’s natural defense against all other infections and various cancers.
Additionally, the evidence shows that booster shots impair the most critical facets of the immune system — the function of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
Dr. Alberto Boretti, the paper’s lead author and scientist, used the Google Scholar database to conduct the review.
Boretti, a research professor of mechanical engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, did not find adequate evidence to suggest that repeated booster vaccination in immune-compromised individuals is safe or efficacious, as claimed by health officials.

Dems Would Prop Biden Up, Run ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’-Style White House: Ted Cruz
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blasted Democrats for backing the octogenarian President Biden for a second term, insisting they would prop him up “Weekend at Bernie’s”-style to retain control of the White House — as a new poll shows two-thirds of voters think Biden is too old to effectively serve four more years.
“They’re not worried that he lacks the competence to do the job. There’s only one thing they’re worried about — that he would lose,” the Republican senator said in the latest episode of his podcast, “The Verdict with Ted Cruz,” which aired Wednesday.
“If they believed he would win, they’d be perfectly fine to ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ him to stand up as a corpse and say, ‘Joe Biden’s there and let’s keep pulling the puppet strings,’“ he continued.

A leaked confidential 66-page document from a top environmentalist association obtained exclusively by Breitbart News reveals a plot by supporters of Democrat President Joe Biden’s signature legislative accomplishment to begin a pressure campaign against Republicans to push them to protect green energy subsidies Biden secured for them.
The document, a “February 2024 Board Memo” prepared for board members of the American Clean Power Association, is striking in how specific and aggressive it is in detailing plans for its members to push Republican lawmakers to oppose any GOP effort to repeal all or parts of Biden’s inaptly named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA, which passed during Biden’s second year as president, did not lower inflation but did aggressively expand government spending, including perhaps most controversially on the left’s radical green energy agenda.

Florida May Require History of Communism Classes in Public Schools
Authored by T.J. Muscaro via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours)
The Florida State Legislature is one step closer to passing legislation making education on the history, philosophies, and global “atrocities” of communism mandatory in public schools.
Senate Bill 1264 was passed favorably through the Appropriations Committee on Education on Feb. 20 after several survivors of communist regimes around the world, as well as the children and grandchildren of survivors, testified to the atrocities they had to endure.
Sponsored by Republican state Sen. Jay Collins, it calls for the formation of a five-person “History of Communism Task Force” within the Department of Education by the 2026-27 school year.

Is Biden Really the 14th Greatest President in American History?
The 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey has officially announced its results.
And the survey from the American Political Science Association says that Obama is greater than Eisenhower and JFK, that Bill Clinton was greater than John Adams and Biden is greater than Reagan (not to mention Ulysses S. Grant and James Monroe of the Monroe Doctrine).
Is Biden really the 14th greatest president in American history? Obviously not. But these same “political science experts” also ranked Obama as the 7th greatest president, Bill Clinton as the 12th greatest president and Carter near the upper middle as the 22nd greatest president.
The Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey reflects the partisan hijacking of American history within academia. The top level of the rankings have been stacked with contemporary Democrats with FDR in 2nd place, Truman in 6th (just behind Thomas Jefferson), Obama in 7th, LBJ in 9th, JFK in 10th, Bill Clinton in 12th, Biden in 14th place and Woodrow Wilson in 15th.
If you believe academia, every single White House Democrat in the last hundred plus years, except Carter, ranks among the top 15 presidents in American history. What are the odds?
Only Clinton, who was impeached, Carter, who was a widely hated one-term president, and Biden, who is as unpopular as Carter, failed to crack the top 10.
This isn’t history, it’s revisionist history so shameless that it would make a Communist blush…

Namely, the party is still opposed to introducing digital ID, but doesn’t mind allowing what’s effectively one of its components — online age-verification.

4 Students Have Been Injured in Stabbing at School in Germany
BERLIN—Four students were wounded in a stabbing Thursday at a school in the western German city of Wuppertal and a suspect, believed to be a student himself, was arrested, authorities said.
The incident took place Thursday morning at the Wilhelm Dörpfeld high school in the city of some 350,000 people near Duesseldorf and Cologne. Police said four students were wounded, as was the suspect, German news agency dpa reported.
The top regional security official, Herbert Reul, said the attack was apparently carried out with a knife by a 17-year-old student. Mr. Reul, the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state, said that at least two of the victims were seriously injured, as was the suspected assailant.
He told the state legislature’s home affairs committee that he had been told the suspect inflicted injuries on himself. There was no word on a possible motive, and the suspect was believed to be a lone assailant.

Additionally, there is a proposal to streamline control procedures, which is expected to halve their number. Farmers will not have to provide complex documentation or take photos themselves; instead, a simple declaration will suffice, and the control will be carried out by the Copernicus satellite system.

“The Israeli army has begun clearing the Zaytoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza City of ‘militants’ so that Israel can implement a pilot plan in which civilians from Gaza will manage the neighborhood instead of Hamas,” Channel 12 reported, without citing any sources for this plan from Tel Aviv.
“Israel’s goal is to empower these local parties to receive humanitarian aid and distribute it to the population to create an alternative to Hamas in northern Gaza,” the broadcaster claimed.
However, the challenge is how to secure different areas while preventing Hamas from intervening, according to the channel.
Channel 12 did not explain how Israel would persuade Palestinians to cooperate with the plan, especially after the atrocities committed against over a million Gaza residents during its more than four-month-long war.

Israeli Strikes in Gaza Kill 48 as Fears Mount Over Humanitarian Crisis and West Bank Violence
RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes killed at least 48 people in southern and central Gaza overnight, half of them women and children, health officials said Thursday. European foreign ministers and U.N. agencies called for a cease-fire, with alarm rising over the worsening humanitarian crisis and potential starvation in the territory.
Tensions were also rising in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where three Palestinian gunmen on Thursday opened fire on morning traffic at a highway checkpoint, killing one person and wounding five others, Israeli police said.
Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, announced Thursday that the government “will expand the authority given to our hostage negotiators.” His comments, delivered in a meeting with U.S. Mideast envoy Brett McGurk, signaled a small sign of progress in cease-fire talks.
Benny Gantz, who sits on Israel’s War Cabinet with Gallant and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said late Wednesday that new attempts are underway to reach a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas that could pause the war in Gaza and bring the release of around 130 Israeli hostages held by the militants since their Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. It was the first Israeli indication of new efforts since negotiations stalled a week ago.

Europe is Preparing Ukraine for Negotiations With Russia — Politico
According to the newspaper Politico, several European diplomats have suggested the possibility of efforts to push Ukraine into negotiations with Russia as early as this year. They believe that stabilizing the conflict involves initiating negotiations between Kiev and Moscow on freezing the conflict.
According to these diplomats, the optimal outcome for Ukraine in the near future is precisely such a scenario, within which Kiev will be forced to start negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to fix the current territorial changes in exchange for security guarantees from Western countries and the prospect of European Union membership.

The Biggest Ever Sanctions Have Failed to Halt Russia’s War Machine
Two years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Western sanctions have failed in their most important task—stopping the Kremlin’s war machine.
Western officials and experts say the financial, economic, military and energy sanctions imposed on Russia since February 2022 have damaged Russia’s economy and arms-production capacity, and will create serious problems for the Kremlin in the coming years. But they acknowledge the restrictions have hit more slowly than they hoped.

Thierry Baudet Questions the Mainstream Press’s Official Account of Navalny’s Death

Zelensky Opens Ukraine’s National Guard to Foreigners Amid Severe Manpower Crisis
Ukraine’s devastating troop losses are long past crisis levels, and its forces are in retreat along some key front line areas, particularly in the region outside Avdiivka in Donetsk after Russia captured the city Saturday. The New York Times observed of the aftermath, “Without dominant hills, larger rivers or extensive fortifications of the kind it built around Avdiivka over the better part of a decade, Ukraine will probably have to cede more ground to hold back Russian units.”
“They don’t have a well-established secondary line to pull back to,” one analyst was cited in the Times as saying. Ukraine’s leadership has long been mulling a new mass mobilization and conscription drive, which has received immense pushback from the war-wearied population. But instead of implementing that controversial measure domestically, President Zelensky is going a different route. He on Wednesday signed a decree opening up Ukraine’s military forces to “foreigners and stateless persons.”

Deobandis Are Ready to Support a Conquest of Islam in India by Annihilating All Non-Muslims
Darul Uloom Deoband stated that those martyred in Ghazwa-e-Hind will be great supreme martyrs. National Commission for Child Protection has asked Saharanpur DM and SSP to lodge an FIR.
Upendra Bharti | HENB | Lucknow | Feb 22, 2024:: Darul Uloom Deoband, one of the largest Islamic seminaries in the country, has reportedly issued a fatwa giving validity to the idea of Ghazwa-e-Hind. The seminary has written on its website that ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ (holy raid of India) is “valid from the Islamic point of view”. It further stated that those martyred in Ghazwa-e-Hind will be great supreme martyrs.
According to Islamic faith, Ghazwa-e-Hind provokes a holy raid of India in order to establish Islam in this country by the annihilation of infidels (kaffirs/non-Muslims).
Interestingly, Darul Uloom Deoband is an unrecognised Madrasa (Islamic seminary) which has 3000 affiliated institutions/madrasa, never taking any government donation or aid, as it claims. So, the fatwa of Darul Uloom Deoband on Ghazwa-e-Hind has its tremendous effect to create animosity among the people of different faiths.
Terming the fatwa ‘anti-national’, the National Commission for Child Protection (NCPCR) has asked Saharanpur DM and SSP to lodge an FIR.
According to News18 Hindi, a netizen had sought information from Darul Uloom online regarding Ghazwa-e-Hind. This person had asked the seminary whether there is any mention of it in the Hadith.
In response, Darul Uloom Deoband cited ‘Sunan an-Nasai’?, one of the ‘Kutub al-Sittah’ (six major hadith collections). It said that there is an entire chapter in it regarding Ghazwa-e-Hind.
Its mentioned in the fatwa that a hadith has been narrated quoting Hazrat Abu Huraira, who was close to Prophet Mohammad. In this he spoke of Ghazwa-e-Hind and said, “I will fight for it and will sacrifice all my wealth for it. If I die, I will be a great sacrifice. If I remain alive, I will be called ‘Ghazi’ (a Muslim warrior).”
Taking cognizance of the complaint by NCPCR chairman Priyank Kanungo, Saharanpur district officer Dinesh Chandra directed SDM and CO Deoband to take action after investigation.
Expressing concern over the matter, Kanungo said, “At Darul Uloom Deoband, children are being taught how to perform ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’, Whoever gives his life for Ghazwa-e-Hind will be called the supreme martyr. This organisation operates madrassas throughout South Asia. It is very dangerous to incite children to attack India in this way. We have asked the district administration to register a case under sections of treason.”
Darul Uloom Deoband is the largest Islamic institution running several madrassas in the country. Madrasas linked to this seminary are running in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, where lakhs of students are enrolled.
A local publication of Uttar Pradesh quoted Muslim cleric Maulana Sajid Rashidi as defending the fatwa, and saying “it is a hypothetical situation”.
So, Darul Uloom Deoband is ready to support a Holy Raid of Islam in India to Islamize the country by annihilating all non-Muslims. This is nothing new, but the organisation is not banned by the Central Government or the Uttar Pradesh State Government knowing the dire consequences of Ghazwa-e-Hind.
But, the stand of RSS is not clear so far on this. Will they apply the same DNA theory to make a surrender before the Ghazwa-e-Hind?

Any already-there or aspiring “empire of lies” needs a “censorship tsar;” after all, in order to persuade citizens that lawful and protected speech should not be allowed, one has to “work around the truth” a lot.
Reports critical of her work refer to Australia’s controversial Safety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant as precisely the country’s “censorship tsar,” while politicians opposed to her activities have recently questioned Grant’s presence at the World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos — even though, that is likely a very natural place for her to be.

Milei Secures Argentina’s First Budget Surplus Since 2012 After Only One Month in Office
Not long after socialist activists flooded into Buenos Aires to protest President Javier Milei’s sweeping budget cuts and reforms, it has been announced that Argentina is enjoying its first monthly budget surplus since August 2012. The budget fix (and $589 million positive balance) took Milei only one month in office to achieve and leaves the political left with some embarrassing questions to answer.
Milei is considered a “far right” libertarian, but his extensive economic background has so far made him perfectly placed to begin repairs to Argentina’s long suffering fiscal system.

Albania Set to Approve Agreement With Italy for Migrant Asylum Processing
Albania’s Parliament is poised to vote on a pact with Italy aimed at managing the asylum claims of thousands of migrants rescued in international waters by Italian authorities. Under the proposed five-year agreement, Albania would accommodate up to 3,000 migrants simultaneously while their asylum applications are assessed, as reported by AP News.
With the processing period estimated to take around a month per application, Albania could potentially receive up to 36,000 asylum-seekers annually. As part of the deal, Italy will finance the establishment of two processing centers in Albania, at a cost exceeding 600 million euros.

Democrat-Led ‘Sanctuary’ States and Cities Funneled Millions in ‘COVID’ Aid to Support Illegals
In order to pay for President Joe Biden’s border crisis, Democrat-led states and cities have been funneling millions in federal “Covid relief” aid into supporting illegal aliens who have flooded their so-called “sanctuaries.”
“Sanctuary” states and cities across the country have been inundated with illegal border crossers in recent months.
To cope with the influx, Democrat leaders in those states and cities earmarked tens of millions of dollars in Covid financial assistance programs to support “undocumented residents.”

Finland Leans Towards Extending the Border Closure With Russia in April
According to information obtained from sources within the government, Finland is likely to extend the closure of its eastern border with Russia even after the expiry of the current decision period, reports the newspaper Ilta-Sanomat. Even when the deadline for the latest closure decision expires, full border reopening in April seems unlikely.
One of the key factors influencing this decision is the uncontrolled flow of refugees from third countries observed since November 2023. Finnish authorities have repeatedly accused Russia of directing asylum seekers towards the border.

NYC Migrants Busted in $5,300 Shoplifting Spree After Traffic Stop Also Turns Up Drugs: Cops
Three migrants living in Manhattan’s troubled Roosevelt Hotel were busted for a New Jersey shoplifting spree where they nabbed $5,300 worth of clothes, perfume and other items, cops said.

Supporters of All Major Parties Want UK Government to Cut Immigration: Poll
Nearly two-thirds of all British voters, including a plurality of supporters of the top left-wing parties, favour reducing immigration into the United Kingdom, a poll has found.
A poll by Whitestone Insight found that 62 per cent of British adults somewhat or strongly supported the idea of “reducing total migration to the UK,” the Daily Mail reported.
Strikingly, the support for reducing migration was seen across the board, with most supporters of the typically pro-mas migration Liberal Democrat and Labour parties favouring a cut in the number of foreigners allowed into the country.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has warned that religious discrimination against Americans with Christian beliefs is apparently becoming increasingly acceptable in society.
In 2015, when the SCOTUS ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, there were warnings issued at the time that the decision could perversely lead to state-sanctioned discrimination against individuals with sincere religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality.
Those warnings appeared to be prescient, as Justice Samuel Alito pointed out in a statement Tuesday.
Alito highlighted a case involving two prospective jury members who were dismissed from the pool due to their Christian beliefs from a legal dispute involving a lesbian plaintiff, the Washington Examiner reported.

Top Experts Expose WEF’s Anti-Carbon Agenda as a Hoax: ‘Pure Junk Science’
Several world-renowned experts have dropped the hammer on the anti-carbon agenda pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations, warning that the globalist agenda is based on a hoax.
“Decarbonization” is one of the key goals of the WEF’s “Net Zero” agenda.
To reach these targets, members of the general public will need to make significant cuts to their quality of life.
Achieving “Net Zero” by the year 2030 requires bans on air travel, private car ownership, an end to privacy, and the introduction of digital IDs, vaccine passports, 15-minute cities, and “cashless societies” that only facilitate central bank digital currency (CBDC) instead of physical cash.
It will also require most of the farming industry to be eliminated with major restrictions on the food supply enforced that include banning meat and dairy products and replacing them with lab-grown alternatives and insect-based “foods.”

Julian Assange in court – second day
https://swebbtube.se/w/viHFLhrDKSPYbdSgmaVkcT

“Laundering money”
– Assange revealed what the power elite’s war is all about
February 21, 2024 –
SWEBBTV NEWS
Wikileaks founder and journalist Julian Assange exposed US “state criminality”. Therefore, he is now subject to a “politically motivated prosecution”, said his wife Stella Assange, in connection with Assange’s “final attempt” to avoid extradition to the US.
About 15 years ago, Julian Assange was a big name in the world. He was a superstar. But when he turned against the Western “elites” and exposed war crimes, everything changed.
In 2012, Assange had to flee to the Ecuadorian embassy in London. He stayed there until 2019, when Ecuador suddenly revoked his asylum. Since then, he has been held in the Belmarsh detention center in London, while the United States has sought his extradition.
Julian Assange’s health has been getting worse and worse. And in the mainstream media, he has been almost forgotten. “Do you remember Julian Assange?”, Swedish Yle wrote in an article on Tuesday.
Now he is in court again. He and his lawyers are trying to stop the US arrest warrant, and if he wins this time he will be released, according to Yle.
The US is accusing him of espionage and data breach.
– What happens when you expose state crime? “The United States is pursuing a politically motivated prosecution of a journalist for exposing the crime,” Assange’s wife, lawyer Stella Assange, said in a speech outside the court on Tuesday.

Thuringia attempted to revoke firearms permits of members of AfG but was shot down in court! I believe the current members of SCOTUS would have done the same, but consider what the make up of a future SCOTUS might do if a state or federal government attempts to disarm the members of a political party just because they are members of that party! What about those obvious devious insurrectionist members of no party?
I know the constitution protects us from this threat but let’s be honest; the State has seemed all too happy to ignore the courts (student loan forgiveness) and courts at some levels have been eager to ignore the constitution as written. This is frightening because it could give the wrong people very bad ideas.
“consider what the make up of a future SCOTUS might do if a state or federal government attempts to disarm the members of a political party just because they are members of that party!”
As I read the current Supremes, we’re just two justices away from [judicial] Armageddon.
I reckon it’s worth mentioning that the right of “the people to keep and bear arms” is a NATURAL right, “granted by God”, that precedes (and overrides) all man-made laws. So even if/when the Court voids the Second Amendment—which GUARANTEES (not “grants”) Obamericans’ right to keep/bear arms—it has no bearing on ones [natural] right to the use of arms in the defense of self, home, property and the state.
