Kiev is not yet ready for NATO membership, the US leader told CNN
The US is willing to offer Kiev a sort of security arrangement currently offered to Israel instead of membership in NATO, President Joe Biden told CNN in an interview previewed on Friday.

Russian Troops Thwart Attack by Ukrainian Forces in Zaporozhye Direction

Units of the Russian Armed Forces thwarted an attack by Ukrainian militants by destroying a mortar that was covering Ukrainian assault units in the Zaporozhye direction, a commander of a unit of the Russian Armed Forces said.
US-supplied cluster bombs will not affect Russian military operation – Moscow
Providing “yet another wonder weapon” to Kiev is nothing but an act of despair on Washington’s part, the foreign ministry has said
Washington’s decision to hand over cluster munitions to Kiev only shows that Ukraine and its Western backers are “powerless” to change the situation on the frontlines, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said on Saturday.
The use of this new ammunition would hardly affect the Russian military campaign but would have “dire consequences” for civilians, she noted in a statement published by the ministry.

According to the senator, it would not be right to force the process.

Did the establishment's Jan 6 'Insurrection' narrative just go the way of Keyser Soze?
He began by explaining why he chose to launch his show on Twitter:
“I’m not working for Elon Musk… what he’s done is offered me is what he’s offered every other user at Twitter which is a chance to broadcast your views without a gatekeeper”

Doctors Are Starting To Talk About ‘Long Vax’ Symptoms Plaguing People Who Received COVID Vaccine And Boosters
Doctors are calling it ‘long vax’ and it refers to people who took the COVID vaccine during the pandemic and continue to suffer ‘baffling symptoms’ and side effects
You’ve heard of ‘long COVID,’ the cases of people who can’t shake the lingering symptoms of COVID-19. Now comes ‘long vax’ — a rare, but baffling set of symptoms that follow a small number of people for months after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. “You see one or two patients and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” Dr. Anne Louise Oaklander, a neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School, told Science. “But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20 patients,” she said, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” But don’t worry, they assure us it’s ‘really rare’. Uh-huh.
“Forever Chemicals” In At Least 45 Percent Of US Tap Water: USGS Study
Nearly half of the tap water in the United States is estimated to have what are known as “forever chemicals,” also referred to as per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The study by the U.S. Geological Survey tested for the presence of 32 types of PFAS from samples taken from 716 locations—269 private wells and 447 public supply—across the nation from 2016 to 2021.
Based on these samples, USGS researchers determined by modeling that, on average, at least one PFAS is detected in about 45 percent of U.S. tap water.

UK on track to become a FULLY CASHLESS NATION by 2035 as use of cash declines rapidly
The United Kingdom is on track to become a fully cashless nation by 2035 as more and more adults, spurred on by government incentives, resort to using digital payment options.
In 2012, around 60 percent of all transactions in the U.K. were still conducted using physical currency. At this rate, by the end of the decade transactions using cash notes and coins will account for just six percent of payments, and by 2035 virtually all transactions will be conducted through debit and credit cards or a form of digital payment system. (Related: Top Bank of England official warns cash is becoming "less usable" as more people opt for digital payments.)

Do You Know About The 3 Eclipses That Will Combine To Create A Giant “Aleph” Over America?
I am about to share something with you that is truly remarkable. The paths of three eclipses will combine to form a giant “Aleph” over America, and hardly anyone knows about this. Of course the Aleph is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
The second letter in the Hebrew alphabet is Bet. Most people don’t realize this, but our word “alphabet” originally came from a combination of Aleph and Bet. But is the fact that a giant “Aleph” will soon be completed over the United States significant? I believe that it is, and I will explain why in this article.
In the 21st chapter of Luke, Jesus warned us that “there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” in the last days. So we should be watching for such things.
