More Americans had a positive view of Russia than a year ago, according to a poll that looked at attitudes in NATO countries and elsewhere toward Moscow, the alliance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The survey by Pew Research Center found that the percentage of Americans who had a "favorable" view of Russia was 11 percent in 2024, which was an increase of 4 percentage points from the 7 percent last year. The poll of 3,600 American adults was conducted from January 5 to May 21 and had a margin of error of 2.1 percent.

I don't think Americans had any issues with the Russian people. At least they knew their 'news' agencies were full of it. Democrats here believe every word.

Gee. A rise from 7 to 11 percent? Sounds like a statistical glitch or differences in sample size. I'd be more interested in seeing what we think about the Ukrainian oligarchs.

It's much too late now but given the fact that Ukraine has been corrupt for a long time before Russia planned their invasion, we should have let Putin take over and then worked out the recognition and diplomacy later. Killing tens of thousands of people on both sides has accomplished nothing except to maintain the coverup of brain-damaged Biden and his imbecile son making a lot of money from Ukraine and successfully maintaining the cover. The billions of dollars that we have gifted Ukraine to defend itself has been spread around to many pockets, including those of the Bidens.

Russia is more conservative than Europeans and American leftists, which is why they hate Russia, and Europeans want Russian resources.

For someone who has worked and lived in Russia for short periods over a 10 year time span, and has counted a number of Russian citizens as friends over those years, this is saddening. Russia, the country, is a truly evil, abysmal place. Putin kills anyone who dares oppose him often in very public and obvious ways to ensure sending a message to anyone who might criticize him. He is a total megalomaniac, and his intent is to reassemble the Soviet Union to the extent that he can, and he cares not how many hundreds of thousands of Russians or Ukrainians must die for his imperialist fantasies. And most Russians are patriotic, and with the media entirely controlled, many buy into the Putin fables. Yesterday I was skyping with a woman in Germany who is married to a Russian, and he was morose about how evil his country has become. He has long been a Russian patriot, supporting the war in Ukraine, but recently Russian strikes have killed many of his former colleagues, where he had worked for some years in Ukraine. He couldn't reconcile this killing of innocent civilians with his basic love for his country. His wife said it was driving him to deep depression. Russia, the country is a very evil place. Some Russians, if you keep away from the subject of international politics can be pretty nice folks. That doesn't change that most of them fully support the evil that is done in their name.

Keep in mind the Obama/Biden IC/CIA/FBI/NSA persecution, investigations and prosecution against Trump...were also against Putin and the Russians, BUT...they didn't wade thru data, courts and investigations against Russia, they called it "Fact" and immediately expelled several hundred russians, instituted sanctions, froze assets, seized bank accounts, cancelled contracts, rescinded treaties and had other Nations follow suit. All over things that NEVER HAPPENED, were entirely made up. Russia didn't "Take Crimea" they already HAD Crimea, or at least half of it, under treaty, under Law...but Ukraine BROKE those treaties and tried to seize not only russian bases, private properties, but also Russias entire Black Sea Naval fleet, it's airbases, with Obama/Biden/Hillary encouragement and support(while biden and Kerry's kids are banking BIG BUCKS from Ukraine oligarchs that are getting control of the russian properties) Ukraine rejected and rescinded several democratic elections in the currently Russian occupied, formerly "Independent/autonomous/self governing " regions, just as Russia has had several "democratic elections" since the whole thing started, Ukraine had ONE, then canceled any others as they were supposed to happen. Eventually the Mueller/Fitgerald reports revealed the "Russians" trumps people were supposed to have colluded with actually worked for Hillary/The DNC or were US Govt agents, with fake id's/backstories, working undercover trying to entrap Trump folks...and were not RUSSIAN, they were actually from Ukraine. Trumps people were proven to have ZERO CONTACTS of any kind with ANY Russians, and in fact zero contacts with ANY foreign people.

A 4% increase in favorable opinion is hardly a noteworthy change, except that it nearly doubles the the favorable rating. The rating is still VERY heavily weighted to the negative; but ever ready to conform news to fit their narrative, Newsweak avoids drawing attention to the negative, by calling it more favorable. No wonder the rag sold for a buck in 2010 (the company, not just the magazine), and they STILL had trouble finding a buyer.

There’s a lot of buzz online about potential “false flags” on the horizon. It’s not surprising, really, given that it’s an election year and the regime is probably eager to unleash every tactic under the sun to disrupt the 2024 election. Among the strategies likely in play, “false flags” are expected to justify the barrage of wild propaganda the regime and their media goons are throwing out there. What many don’t realize, however, is that the foundation of this false flag, or basically any anti-Trump strategy, is a little something known as stochastic terrorism.

Hunter Biden became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime Tuesday after a federal jury found him guilty of lying about his drug use in order to buy a gun. The panel of six men and six women deliberated for three hours across two days before convicting the 54-year-old of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer, and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of or addict to a controlled substance.

Nebraska State Sen. Mike McDonnell (R-5) announced he is fleeing the Democrat party to become a Republican, giving the GOP what U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) calls a “filibuster-proof majority” in Nebraska’s unicameral legislature. McDonnell’s party change bears major implications for local and national politics as the state is on the verge of moving to a winner-take-all electoral vote allocation system for presidential elections. The state currently has a split electoral vote awarding system that gives “two electoral votes to the state popular vote winner, and then one electoral vote to the popular vote winner in each congressional district,” as Newsweek’s Natalie Venegas pointed out.

Western media, particularly those with a vested anti-Russia narrative, expressed skepticism of the Russian statement, including the claim that Ukraine had shot down the plane. However, the BBC has an outline [SEE HERE] based on a conversation with a Ukrainian intelligence official that seems to directly corroborate the Russian statements. Oddly, but perhaps not unexpectedly, the BBC article is framed to retain the skepticism; however, if you read the article carefully, what you will notice is the details are generally confirmed.

I have stayed away from this subject for eight years; however, everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth. Therefore, when the husband of State Dept official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump.

Yes, to the Newsweek readers, anyone who would challenge their worldview or political position is dangerous; after all, these are the same people who equate words with violence.

And I let it distract me.” Biden elaborated that he isn’t blaming that for his performance, but that caused him to realize “that I just wasn’t in control.” ABC host George Stephanopoulos asked, “And how quickly did it come to you that you were having that bad night?” Biden responded, “Well, it came to me

A mob of looters ransacked an Oakland gas station convenience store and caused thousands of dollars in damage as the frustrated store manager claimed police took nine hours to respond to his plea for help. The horde, who had just attended a nearby car sideshow, broke into the 76 Station near the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport around 4:30 a.m. on Friday, according to ABC 7 News Bay Area. Owner Sam Mardaie estimated approximately 80 to 100 people broke through his store’s front door and grabbed everything they could get their hands on. “Shelves were ripped apart, all the grocery items were torn or stepped on or vandalized,” Mardaie told the outlet.

When you think of President Joe Biden these days, who does he remind you of? You might invoke your impression of an elderly relative who is similarly struggling with cognitive issues. The less charitable among us might make a reference to Elmer Fudd or some other frequently befuddled character. But that's not the view that Democratic Congressman Don Beyer of Virginia holds. While introducing Biden at a fundraiser earlier this week, Beyer compared the President to none other than Jesus Christ. This was a case of setting the bar very high, to say the least. But what is it about Joe Biden that reminds Beyer of the Savior so much?

Top Democrats are so alarmed about Joe Biden's ailing health some fear a shadowy cabal is keeping him in power so they can pull levers behind the scenes, it is claimed. The astonishing theory was detailed in the liberal New York magazine. Its reporter Olivia Nuzzi revealed that even Democrat elites are stumped as to how and why the fast-declining 81 year-old is being allowed to continue his re-election bid. Nuzzi said she had heard questions being posed by high-ranking Democrats on the east and west coasts about whether Biden is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by another group of secretive Democrats.

Madison, Wis.— The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that officials can place ballot drop boxes around their communities in this fall’s elections, overturning its own ruling two years ago limiting their use in the presidential swing state. The court limited the use of drop boxes in July 2022, ruling then that they could be placed only in local election clerks’ offices and no one other than the voter could return a ballot in person. Conservatives controlled the court at that time, but Janet Protasiewicz’s election victory in April 2023 flipped the court to liberal control.

Larry Sabato, the Trump-hating pollster who is known for his campaign ‘crystal ball,’ said on CNN earlier today that the race between Biden and Trump is no longer close and that the poll numbers he is seeing are ‘bad’ for Biden. This interview happened before the Stephanopoulos interview (which went terribly) and Sabato conceded that one good interview is not going to save Biden or his campaign. The reason these comments should really disturb Democrats is because if there was any kind of silver lining to include here, any single ray of sunshine, Sabato would have pointed it out, but there is no good news for Democrats.
