Syria won’t surrender to blackmail over Arab League return: Deputy FM

“Those who are trying to ignore Syria or to impose conditions for its return to the Arab League will not succeed, since Syria will not surrender to blackmail and is not primarily concerned with anything other than its domestic problems,” Mekdad said. “We monitor all developments concerning Syria's return to the Arab League and the reopening of diplomatic missions in Damascus. Nevertheless, the pressures that we are facing at regional and international levels pose serious challenges to this process,” the senior Syrian official pointed out.

Democrat Gov. Northam Fabricated His Desert Storm War Experiences in 2017 Campaign

A picture from Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook surfaced on Friday showing two men, one in a KKK hood and robe and one in ‘blackface’ on the same page as Northam.

The photo was first published by Big League Politics on Friday and later confirmed by other outlets such as WaPo and The Virginian Pilot.

One half of the page shows Ralph Northam wearing a suit jacket and a tie, a photo of him in a cowboy hat and boots and another of him leaning up against a convertible.

On Saturday Governor Ralph Northam said the photo was not of him and Friday was the first time he saw the photo in blackface.

Northam refuses to resign for the racist photographs.

Now this…

Democrat Governor Ralph Northam tried to fool voters into thinking he served in Operation Desert Storm to play gun control games.

The man is a liar.

The late Jonn Lilyea reported this in 2017 at This Ain’t Hell.

The Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, doesn’t like guns, more accurately, he doesn’t like that you have guns. He likes to tell his constituents that he grew up on the Eastern shore, so that means that he’s just like you – he hunts, so guns are his friends. But he hasn’t seen a gun control measure in the legislature that he won’t vote for.

His favorite line when talking about gun control is explaining to people that he treated “assault weapon” victims as a doctor in the Army during Desert Storm.

As an Army veteran and a doctor—and an Eastern Shore native who grew up hunting—Ralph knows the damage weapons can do. That’s why he’s been a staunch advocate for commonsense gun safety laws since his time in the state senate.

I witnessed the damage these guns can do firsthand as an Army doctor during the First Gulf War.

I’m not sure how many wounded soldiers he treated though. He was a child neurologist working at the Army’s Landstuhl Hospital in Germany. The way I understand neurologists, they treat brain diseases not gunshot wounds. It looks like he specialized in child neurology before, during and after the time he was at Landstuhl.

I know that Landstuhl played an important part during the latest wars in the Middle East as the hospital that treated casualties evacuated from Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc… At the time of Desert Storm, however, the 97th General Hospital in Frankfort was the primary hospital for evacuated casualties. The 97th closed in June 1992.

Now, he didn’t exactly lie about his service, he was a Major, he was a doctor, he served during Desert Storm, but I’m pretty sure a child neurologist wouldn’t be treating wounded soldiers, except in emergency circumstances – extreme emergencies.

Stunning.

This is another great find by Jim Hanson.

Italy vetoed EU recognition of Venezuelan opposition leader Guaido

Rome has effectively derailed an EU statement meant to recognize Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s interim leader if President Nicolas Maduro fails to set up snap elections, a Five Star Movement source confirmed to RT.

Italy announced the veto at an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers that started on January 31 in Romania, the source said. The statement, which was supposed to be delivered by EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini recognized Guaido as interim president if snap elections were not held.

The European Parliament is the first European body to recognize Guaido “as the only legitimate interim president of the country until new free, transparent and credible presidential elections can be called in order to restore democracy.”

The parliament urged the EU to follow suit but the effort stalled due to internal discord. A range of European nations have separately recognized the opposition chief as Venezuela’s acting president, including the UK, France, Sweden, Spain, and Austria. The coordinated move came after an eight-day deadline for Maduro to call presidential elections expired on Monday.

The US announced that it is backing the new interim leader and pledged their full support immediately after what has been labeled “a coup” by officials in Caracas. However Russia, China, Turkey and Iran said they see Maduro as the only legitimate leader, warning against meddling in Venezuela’s domestic affairs.

Maduro himself rejected the EU ultimatum but promised to push for political reform. He suggested that parliamentary elections be held earlier than 2020, arguing that the National Assembly – a legislative body dominated by the opposition and headed by Guaido – needs to be “re-legitimized.”

Following the announcement, Venezuela witnessed massive rallies, both for and against Maduro. Some of the country’s high-ranking officials, including a defense attaché in the US, voiced their support for Guaido, but the majority remained loyal to Maduro, including the army.

Political turmoil escalated in Venezuela after a plummeting economy led to skyrocketing prices, and management flaws left most of its population in poverty.

If you thought abortion bills in New York, Virginia were bad, just wait until you see Vermont's

Legislation to eliminate abortion restrictions have dominated headlines in recent weeks as outrage builds over how extreme progressives are willing to be in order to preserve so-called women's rights.

So far, New York has been the only state to successfully pass new pro-abortion legislation. Some Democrats in Virginia tried and failed, and Rhode Island continues to consider its legislation. All of the bills are weaved together by a common thread: They appear to remove nearly all abortion regulations, even allowing abortions during the third trimester requiring only vague justification.

But one state's bill, which has been dubbed "the most radical abortion legalization statute in the world," may top them all.

What are the details?

Vermont legislators are currently considering a bill that goes further than New York or Virginia, a frightening proposition considering one Virginia lawmaker admitted her bill would allow abortions up to the moment of birth.

The bill, H-0057, would remove all practical abortion regulations, establishing the "fundamental right" to the procedure without restriction while completely eradicating any consideration for an unborn child's viability.

The bill declares:

Every individual has the fundamental right to choose or refuse contraception or sterilization.

Every individual who becomes pregnant has the fundamental right to choose to carry a pregnancy to term, give birth to a child, or to have an abortion.

A fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus shall not have independent rights under Vermont law.

What distinguishes Vermont's bill from that of New York, Virginia, or Rhode Island is that it would permit abortions without consideration of viability, a major point of contention in the abortion debate. Additionally, the law does not outline restrictions related to the health of the mother or unborn child, effectively permitting abortions for any reason.

Abortion as a fundamental right?

That's correct. According to the bill, the state of Vermont shall not "deny or interfere with an individual's fundamental rights to choose or refuse contraception or sterilization or to choose to carry a pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to obtain an abortion."

Will the bill become law?

There is very little chance the bill will not become law. Democrats control a strong majority in both chambers of the Vermont General Assembly, where the bill has 91 co-authors, more than enough to ensure passage in the Vermont House.

Meanwhile, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (D) has said he would sign the bill if passed. He told a local Vermont newspaper the bill is a response to growing fear the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade. A public hearing on the bill is scheduled for Feb. 6 in the House chamber in Montpelier, Vermont.

Netanyahu Uses Trump Pictures In Israeli Election Campaign

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is using pictures of himself with US President Donald Trump in his election campaign poster.

The poster from Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party shows the two leaders shaking hands under the headline “Netanyahu, in a different league,” with “The Likud” at the bottom.

The slogan refers to Trump’s apparently strong relationship with Netanyahu. After all, in 2018 the POTUS fulfilled his election promise to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, sparking anger worldwide. The move was widely praised by the Jewish parties across Israel’s normally very partisan political spectrum.

Trump also appeared in a Likud campaign video shared to Netanyahu’s Facebook page last week which celebrated the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a claim much of the world disagrees with.

WTF???? Backing a Genocidal maniac!

Russian and alternative media denied access to Venezuela meeting in Canada

The Canadian government has denied both Russian and alternative media outlets access to a meeting in Ottawa, during which Latin American ministers will plot their further response to Venezuela’s ongoing crisis.

With the Lima Group meeting set to begin on Monday, Sputnik and Russian news agency RIA Novosti were officially disinvited that morning. Sputnik reported that the Canadian Foreign Ministry did not initially explain its reasoning.

When pressed, a spokesman for the ministry said that Sputnik “hasn’t been cordial” with Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland in the past. However, a quick search reveals that Sputnik has never been overly critical of the Canadian FM since she was appointed two years ago.

RIA’s request for clarification has not yet been answered.

One day earlier, Latin American news outlet Telesur was also denied access to the meeting. Telesur published an email from the Canadian ministry saying the organization has “NOT been accredited as media.”
