Vatican City - Russian Patriarch Kirill's full-throated blessing for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine has splintered the worldwide Orthodox Church and unleashed an internal rebellion that experts say is unprecedented.
Kirill, 75, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, sees the war as a bulwark against a West he considers decadent, particularly over the acceptance of homosexuality.
He and Putin share a vision of the "Russkiy Mir", or "Russian World", linking spiritual unity and territorial expansion aimed at parts of the ex-Soviet Union, experts told Reuters. What Putin sees as a political restoration, Kirill sees as a crusade.
But the patriarch has sparked a backlash

An eyebrow-raiser that circulated on social media this weekend, partly because of its provenance and partly because it’s one of the rosier outlooks for the Pax Americana that you’re likely to read this year. The author, Hu Wei, is the head of a think tank in Shanghai. That’s not to say that he speaks for the Chinese government, of course, but since his analysis wasn’t suppressed, it implies that his advice is within the Chinese government’s Overton window about how to proceed on Ukraine.
A tantalizing mystery about Russia’s war is what the Chinese knew of it in advance. They seem to have understood that something was coming,

50 years from now when many of us are long gone, I think it’s a sure thing that the mainstream media are still going to be obsessing about former President Donald Trump and how he in their view tried to “steal” the 2020 election and was allegedly involved in instigating the January 2020 Capitol riot, which The Usual Suspects frequently (and wrongly) refer to as the “insurrection.”
It’s a topic that “Meet the Press” anchor and noted Democrat apologist Chuck Todd often revisits, which was the case when former Attorney General under Trump Bill Barr stopped by for an interview to talk about, among other things,

The Biden administration tapped teenage TikTok influencers last week to coordinate messaging on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and blame Vladimir Putin for rising gas prices, according to a recording of a call between White House officials and the social media stars. Days later, Ellie Zeiler, and 18-year-old with more than 10 million followers on TikTok, posted a video in which she aimed to answer the question, "Why is gas so expensive?"
"Why is gas so expensive, and why is the United States inflation rate at a four-time decade high?" she begins the video. "I had the opportunity to ask the White House why gas down the street is $7

We’re in, what, week three or four now of the mainstream media and Democrats continuing to pump out a steady stream of lies and misinformation about the parental rights bill in Florida that they’ve deliberately mislabeled as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Fortunately for parents in the Sunshine State, that hasn’t deterred Gov. Ron DeSantis from defending the bill and touting it as the latest legislative session in the state draws to a close.
During a Monday press conference, DeSantis talked up the accomplishments of the Florida legislature during the 2022 legislative session, and in particular praised them on their efforts on the public education front, specifically on the “Stop WOKE” act and the parental rights bill,

There hasn’t been a Republican governor of New York since George Pataki, who was first elected in 1994 and would be reelected twice more. Conventional wisdom says that New York is a deep blue state, and a Republican couldn’t possibly win a statewide election there now. Not so fast. According to an internal poll from Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), the presumptive Republican gubernatorial nominee, Zeldin could beat Gov. Kathy Hochul.
According to the poll, which was conducted by John McLaughlin & Associates, Zeldin leads Hochul 45.5% to 44%, with the rest undecided. Zeldin’s lead is within the margin of error, which means the race is a dead heat.

With Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine having dominated the headlines, you may have missed some of the latest headaches for CNN, which has sought to pivot back to its past reputation and reporting of yesteryear thanks to the war. But in reporting from far-left outlets at Daily Beast and Rolling Stone, the headaches over Jeff Zucker aren’t over and, when it comes to CNN’s future, plenty will need to be looking over their shoulders.
Writing last Tuesday, March 8, the Daily Beast alleged incoming CNN boss Chris Licht has sought “a cease-fire on his network’s aggressive” and “forceful coverage” of Fox News.

Forty-nine Senate Republicans are threatening to derail the Biden administration’s efforts to secure a new Iran nuclear agreement within the coming days.
Any new agreement that "does not have strong bipartisan support in Congress will not survive," the senators said in a statement issued Monday and provided to the White House. The lawmakers warned the administration that if it bypasses Congress and agrees to a deal without first allowing a vote in the Senate—as is required under a 2015 law—they will do "everything in our power to reverse it." "The administration has thus far refused to commit to submit a new Iran deal to the Senate for ratification as a treaty

Democrat midterm campaign chief Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) over the weekend in Philadelphia said his party is the “problem” as to why they are having trouble relating to the voters.
At the House Democrats’ retreat, Maloney, head of the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), said that as much as everyone says, “The problem is not the voters… The problem is us.” He made the statement during a part of the conference weekend that was supposed to be designed to forge unity, Washington Post reported. “They think that we’re divisive and too focused on cultural issues. They think that we’re preachy. They think that we act like we know better than parents

Oscar-winning actor William Hurt — whose classic good looks and erudite persona made him one of the most recognizable male leads in the 1980s — died Sunday, his family said.
Hurt, who starred in hit flicks from “The Big Chill’’ to “Broadcast News’’ and “Children of a Lesser God,’’ was 71. The actor suffered from prostate cancer that spread to the bone in 2018. “It is with great sadness that the Hurt family mourns the passing of William Hurt, beloved father and Oscar winning actor, on March 13, 2022, one week before his 72nd birthday,’’ the actor’s son William said in a statement.

Tampa, Fla. — Tom Brady’s retirement lasted 40 days.
Brady said Sunday he’s returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd season in the NFL.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion announced his decision on Twitter and Instagram, saying he has “unfinished business.”
“These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady wrote. “That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa.”
Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title following the 2020 season and NFC South championship last season.
