Russian Ro-Ro Varyag freighter ship

Russia has sent another large batch of military equipment to Syria via sea-lift as part of an ongoing effort to keep the Arab republic's armed forces supplied and refitted.

On Monday night, observers in the Bosphorus Strait spotted and photographed a Russian freighter ship passing from the Black Sea into the eastern Mediterranean; the same sources all report that vessel is bound for the Syrian port city of Tartus.

The Russian ship in question has been identified as the Ro-Ro Varyag (IMO:8019887) which is already well-known for carrying military equipment to Syria.

Comment: Who can blame him? The Brits and their global media are up to no good.

gun control, march for our lives protest

The March for Our Lives protests were held yesterday in cities across the United States.

The liberal mainstream media widely publicized the protests as being student organized.

But, of course, this was complete rubbish.

The well-planned events against the Second Amendment were organized and funded by outside groups - including the Democrat Party.

James Woods to Trump: "Dems gave you the rope, you just hanged yourself" - $1.3 trillion omnibus bill

Trump announced Friday in a press conference he will sign the Pelosi-Ryan uniparty monstrosity of a spending bill.

$1.3 TRILLION and no border wall.

Many Conservatives feel betrayed.

Patriotic actor James Woods had some harsh words for President Trump after he agreed to sign Paul Ryan's trillion dollar giveaway.

Earlier Friday, James Woods told Trump to veto the omnibus bill.

Woods tweeted:

Comment: Trump's base isn't happy. Will he be able to fund the Wall with the military budget, as he suggested recently on Twitter? If so, he may be forgiven. If not, many will become even more skeptical of Trump's promises.

An Atlanta mother deliberately crashed her car with her two young children inside on a busy highway. She was trying to prove that God was real and would save them from harm, the children said.

Bakari Warren, 25, drove her Ford SUV across a busy Atlanta intersection before hurtling into a utility pole. Warren reportedly ordered her two daughters, aged five and seven, to buckle their seat belts before the crash.

"The children told the officer that their mom wanted to prove to them that God was real and God would protect them," a Norcross, Georgia police officer told WSB-TV.

Pope Francis on Sunday opened Holy Week services leading up to Easter by urging young people to "keep shouting" and not let "older generations" silence them.

His comments came one day after hundreds of thousands of students and others across the nation marched in support of stricter gun control laws. The movement is being led by survivors from the mass killing in February that left 17 dead at a Florida high school.

Comment: Who are being used as tools to further a political agenda by a network of activist organizations, millionaire donors, Democratic politicians, and public relations firms:

Astro-turfing gun control: How did kids from Parkland 'magically' form a movement in just 2 weeks? They had lots of help

A key leader of the movement is Marjory Stoneman Douglas High student David Hogg. Hogg, a founder of the group Never Again MSD, has led and inspired the speeches and actions by other young people. Some of his comments have been riddled with profanity, and he has referred to adults as "old a** parents," "pathetic f***ers" and "sh***y" people.

Switzerland has a stunningly high rate of gun ownership - but no mass shootings

Switzerland hasn't had a mass shooting since 2001, when a man stormed the local parliament in Zug, killing 14 people and then himself.

The country has about 2 million privately owned guns in a nation of 8.3 million people. In 2016, the country had 47 attempted homicides with firearms. The country's overall murder rate is near zero.

The National Rifle Association often points to Switzerland to argue that more rules on gun ownership aren't necessary. In 2016, the NRA said on its blog that the European country had one of the lowest murder rates in the world while still having millions of privately owned guns and a few hunting weapons that don't even require a permit.

But the Swiss have some specific rules and regulations for gun use.

The disappearing male

There is a "gender crisis" in America today, and it has nothing to do with the alleged 63 varieties of genders espoused by leftists. Nor does it have to do with women's marches. Quite simply it deals with the "expendable male," where, "in the space of just a few decades[,] American women have managed to demote men from respected providers and protectors to being unnecessary, irrelevant, and expendable " (Venker & Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism).

It is apparent by attitudes from well known women - e.g., Pamela Paul, who authored Are Fathers Necessary and wrote, "The bad news for Dad is that despite common perception, there's nothing objectively essential about his contribution." Then there is actress Jennifer Aniston, who once stated, "Women are realizing they don't have to settle with a man just to have a child."

Investigation Reveals Kemerovo Shopping Mall Blaze Result of Gross Negligence - Putin: 'Those Responsible Will Face Justice'

While the West freaks out about an imaginary Russia hellbent on destroying their civilization and killing their spies, Russia has her own problems to deal with. On Sunday a major fire broke out in a shopping mall in Kemerovo, Siberia. An estimated 64 people died in the blaze, including up to 40 children. Dozens were injured or suffered from smoke inhalation. The town is in mourning, residents are protesting the corruption that enabled the tragedy to occur, and Putin has visited the town to express his condolences and make sure justice is served.

A preliminary investigation has so far determined that the mall was riddled with "flagrant violations" in code and security:

"It turned out that the fire exits were blocked," spokeswoman for the Russian Investigative Committee Svetlana Petrenko said in a statement. She added that the investigators already "received evidence of flagrant violations which led to such grave consequences" both during the commissioning of the building and while it was in use.

Authorities are also looking into a security guard, hired by a private company, who allegedly turned off the fire alarm system when the blaze started. The motive behind the move is unknown but his actions qualify for violation of fire safety requirements and the guard may face up to 7 years in prison, experts estimate.

The guard may become the fifth detainee in connection with the tragedy. Four suspects, namely one executive of the company, which owns the building, a tenant of the mall section, where the fire is believed to have started, and the director and an employee of the company which operated the fire alarm have been questioned already.

Hundreds are rallying for regional authorities to take responsibility and resign.
