Demonstrators have taken to the streets in cities across the US to protest the US Supreme Court’s overturning of the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade abortion ruling – amid fears of weeks of violence across the nation.

Angry crowds also gathered outside the Supreme Court building in Washington DC, where anti-abortion activists erupted in cheers after the ruling, while some abortion rights supporters were in tears.

US President Joe Biden condemned the decision, which will dramatically change life for millions of women and exacerbate growing tensions in a deeply polarised country.

Mr Biden condemned the ruling as taking an “extreme and dangerous path”.

“It’s a sad day for the court and for the country,” he said.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine will probably end with a negotiated settlement, but that does not mean the West should stop sending arms to Kiev or reduce sanctions pressure on Moscow, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Saturday.

“Most likely, this war will end at the negotiating table,” Stoltenberg told the Spanish newspaper El Pais, acknowledging that an outright military victory was not on the cards.

“Our responsibility is to ensure that Ukraine is in the strongest possible position and to help it remain a sovereign and independent European nation,” he said.

The best way to bolster Kiev's position ahead of talks with Moscow is “to provide strong military support, economic support, and push through tough sanctions against Russia,” the NATO chief added.

Is Star Wars political? If you asked fans of the original movies, they might give you an interesting answer – but if you ask the official Star Wars Twitter account, it most certainly is. It’s got “WARS” in the name, after all.

The Star Wars official Twitter account has absolutely no problem bullying anyone off Twitter – and it’s done exactly that. If you aren’t a fan, or if you have some mild criticism about what they’re doing, then good luck to you and godspeed – you won’t survive the angry mob.

In many ways, the official Star Wars Twitter account’s behavior isn’t at all unlike what members of Tumblr’s fandoms – be it for Steven Universe or Kora, The Last Avatar – would do to anyone who stepped out of line.

The United States may have to endure economic “pain” in order to rein in rampant inflation, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Friday, noting that a downturn might be the “necessary price to pay” for recovery. 

Speaking to reporters during a Friday press conference, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva predicted a rough ride for the US economy, which is experiencing decades-high inflation with soaring prices for a number of staple goods. 

“Success over time [in lowering prices] will be beneficial for global growth, but some pain to get to that success can be a necessary price to pay,” she said, soon after the IMF slashed its growth forecast for the US by nearly a full percentage point, down to 2.9%.

The list had word "you" capitalized to stress the points instructing the leader of free world what exactly he needs to do - like, taking a seat or asking someone a basic question.

Joe Biden accidentally showed the public some notes that White House staff prepared for him to get the president through the meeting.

On Thursday, Biden, when attending a "Meeting on Federal State Offshore Wind Implementation Partnership," revealed a note card to the cameras, showing a list of bullet points, directing the slightest details of the event.

"YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants

YOU take YOUR seat

'"Left as an exercise to the reader" (LAAETTR) are perhaps the most hated 7 words in all of mathematics. Every student, whether dying to just finish a problem set for a required class or genuinely trying to attain a robust understanding of a new concept, has encountered these infamous words. They represent the worst education has to offer - the tantalizing promise of understanding, swiftly obliterated. And worse, this obliteration is nominally done for the sake of the student. Rigor! The process of learning! You need to figure it out! Nonsense.

The U.S. press, like the U.S. government, is a corrupt and troubled institution. Corrupt not so much in the sense that it accepts bribes but in a systemic sense. It fails to do what it claims to do, what it should do, and what society expects it to do.

The conquest of the world with a god is is one of the central pillar of all the Abrahamic religions. Having god at one's side gives a morality to an immoral destruction of other cultures. Because some cultures might resist the "words of god", in modern times the conquerors. principally the US Empire, have replaced (or added to) the notion of god, with "democracy" and "freedom" which have nothing to do with people being free from "conquistadors". The modern conquistadors are the capitalists and their corrupt systems of trade — which from time to time (too often) involve illegal wars to bring other people to heal. 

We have been told:

Western media is silent as top Zelensky aide exposes its false presentation of Ukraine as LGBTQ-friendly

While Western media tries hard to falsely portray Ukraine as progressive, its own most-vocal political advisor says the quiet part out loud

In the 21st century, with the proliferation of social media and other mass forms of communication, it has become easier to bastardize certain causes that may in some form be noble in order to pursue one’s own political or geopolitical purposes.

US censorship of Russian media failed – Microsoft report

RT and Sputnik still reach US audiences despite Big Tech suppression on behalf of Ukraine

Silicon Valley’s efforts to suppress “Russian propaganda” – meaning outlets like RT and Sputnik – on behalf of Ukraine may have reduced their reach, but they still reach more Americans than before the outbreak of fighting in Ukraine, Microsoft has revealed in a report on the ongoing cyber-war on the side of Kiev. RT and Sputnik still get as many monthly page views as a major US corporate outlet, the tech company said.

The riveting story of an ex-prime minister, the travails of his successor's government, and what that bodes for the future of politics

Malcolm Turnbull's campaign against Scott Morrison and the Liberal Party is one of the greatest acts of political disloyalty in Australian history. Through the pursuit of causes close to his heart, Turnbull destabilised a government he was once part of and courted forces openly hostile to it. 

I do not wish the worse for America. Hopefully it will become a good humble citizen of this planet. Yet so far, we haven’t seen any of this — what some people might call magical — transformation.

Who has been the worse president? Trump or Biden? So far on international relations and on civil duties, Trump is behind by a clown nose. Biden is a liar, a psychopath (not really, but he’s lost his sense of reality) and a devious character, because he always was devious. Trump is a stupid clown, and despite what they’re trying to do with the 6th January investigation for which the Democrats might spread the mustard for another year — way after the “Mid-Terms” elections which so far might prove to be lethal to Biden-the-Prick, Trump might resurrect himself. 

The US dominates the Pacific Islands to an extent China can never hope to achieve. With Australia’s support, the US is now engaged in an arms build-up in its Pacific territories and de-facto colonies in a little known boost to its containment of China.

The US has three self-governing territories in the Pacific: Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands. Guam hosts some of the US’s most important bases the world. After a large scale military expansion on one of the main islands in the Northern Marianas, Tinian is expected to rival Guam in importance in coming years.

London earlier introduced a bill that will unilaterally alter its deal with the EU and the Brexit divorce agreement. The protocol was supposed to be a temporary measure to avoid a hard border with Northern Ireland, but talks with Brussels failed to produce a permanent replacement.

Former US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley has criticized President Joe Biden and other Democrats for speaking out against London's plans to alter the Northern Ireland (NI) protocol, insisting that it is none of their business.

World affairs are rapidly moving toward their culmination as the U.S.-instigated war between Russia and Ukraine threatens to escalate into a nuclear conflagration.

The charge to world war is being led by U.S. Zionist politicians and bureaucrats, especially President Joe Biden and his chief implementer, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. As usual, the dirty work on the ground is being carried out by the ever-present CIA and its compliant military superstructure.

By now the Zionist march to world domination has been thoroughly documented and will not be reprised here. It has been accomplished largely through infiltration and control of the English-speaking nations—chiefly Great Britain and the U.S.
