‘I should not be impeached!’ Trump says Kiev confirmed Ukrainegate is a non-story, and here’s what he’s referring to (VIDEO) The impeachment drive against President Donald Trump is in full swing – but he believes that the inquiry should’ve already ended, saying both Ukraine and phone calls released by the White House have ruled out any “quid pro quo.” Responding to a reporter’s question on impeachment, Trump bluntly said that he “should not be” impeached, and that the whole story effectively ended on Friday. The reason for that, he said, was a statement by Kiev denying any quid pro quo during Trump’s conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky. “Ukraine – they came out loud and clear that there was no linkage whatsoever, not even a lit...

Israel & NATO penetrate Russia’s S-400 air defenses… ‘simulated’ by US Patriots? Israel together with the US and several European NATO allies have wrapped up massive war games, which in part focused on countering advanced air defenses, such as Russia’s S-400, that Washington has been so worried about recently.

A total of 800 servicemen and around 100 aircraft took part in the ‘Blue Flag’ drills, including the stealthy F-35 fighter jets, which took part in this exercise for the first time. This is the most advanced international Air Force exer...

WATCH hundreds of drones create dreamlike spectral PLANES at Chinese air show Visitors of the annual aviation show in China’s Nanchang were treated to a light display worthy of Gandalf’s fireworks. Hundreds of drones took the shape of giant glowing aircraft: a propeller plane, an airliner, and a figher jet. As many as 800 drones equipped with large shining lamps lit up the night skies during the 2019 Nanchang Flight Convention – an exhibition demonstrating China’s latest developments in aviation, space and drone technologies.  Flying in tight formation and in perfect synchronicity, the drones formed luminescent figures resembling an old propeller-driven aeroplane, a passenger jet, and even a military fighter jet and attack helicopter.

Lights out: Non-league goalkeeper spectacularly misses penalty, breaks floodlight (VIDEO) There's a reason why it is rare to see a goalkeeper venture out of his own penalty area and this is a lesson well and truly learned by fans of English non-league football team Nuneaton Borough after this amazing spot-kick blunder. Football fans of a certain vintage will no doubt remember the goalscoring heroics of goalkeepers such as Jose Luis Chilavert and Peter Schmeichel but for every shot-stopper who found luck in front of the opposition goal there are a thousand who didn't.  Here is one more to add to that list. I don’t think the Nuneaton’s keeper will be allowed to take a penalty again!?Not only did he miss, he also broke a light!?pic.twitter...

Self-described ‘moderate Republican’ Obama tells Democrats not to wade TOO FAR LEFT, or else… Who’s that guy telling the Democratic Party to be conservative about what they wish for from their next president? Wait, isn’t that Barack ‘Yes, we can’ Obama, the media darling that led the country before Trump ‘ruined it all?’ The cold shower poured on Friday by the former US president in front of a room full of wealthy donors in Washington was obviously directed at Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, the progressive contenders in the Democratic primary race. The two senators have proposed a number of policies to radically change the way America functions economically and politically – for the benefit of the common people. On the day Warren ...
