Malcolm X was assassinated 58 years ago today. This remains as one of my favorite pieces of wisdom he shared. And now, they're making it illegal to even claim the knife is there.

"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there." — Malcolm X

In the center of Moscow, a hotel guest set fire to their possessions in a hallway on the fifth floor, causing a large blaze. Firefighters are evacuating people from the building, and 11 people have been rescued. Five people have been injured, and two people have died.

At least 11 explosions have taken place in the city of Mariupol, which is currently under occupation, according to the city council. Early reports suggest that the explosions may have been targeted at areas where military forces are located.

At today's meeting of the Stavka, Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyi gave a detailed report on the frontline situation and the enemy's missile attacks on our positions, with particular emphasis on the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Despite the constant and intense assaults from Russia, which have caused them great losses, we are doing all we can to deter these attacks. General Syrskyi reported on the Bakhmut and Lyman directions, where the battles are fierce, and General Tarnavskyi reported on the fighting in the Avdiivka and other areas, where the occupants are using a range of weapons, including tear gas grenades, against our forces. However, despite the pressure, the front line has not changed. Other commanders and leaders of our defense and security forces also reported to the Staff, including the commanders of the Pivden and Odesa jurisdictions, Moskalev. Intelligence Chief of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Budanov reported on the real essence of Russia's flirtations with rhetoric about strategic weapons, and we are paying full attention to every detail of our Defense Plan and the enemy's ambitions. We are grateful to all our soldiers, from sergeants to generals, who are defending the respective

They are rattling the nuclear saber to try and goad the "land for peace" crowd.

When will people learn that trading fascist regimes land for peace results in more invasions, not more peace?

Marjorie Taylor Greene's divorce - Palmer Report

I have a much better plan. Let's give MTG a divorce from the United States. I think Russia might like her. If not there is Hungary.

Italy will be providing Ukraine with its sixth military aid package, Prime Minister Maloney declared at a press conference with President Zelensky in Kyiv. This package will include air defense systems such as SAMP-T, which was previously announced to be jointly transferred by Italy and France, as well as Skyguard Aspide systems, and more.

The government is planning to increase electricity prices in the spring, with the most extreme scenario involving a four-fold increase in the tariff. Other options are being considered that would involve a smaller increase, but still one that would be noticeable to the population. The government has stated that those with low incomes will be given subsidies to help offset the cost of the increase. Currently, households that consume less than 250 kilowatt-hours are charged UAH 1.44 per kilowatt-hour, and those that consume more are charged UAH 1.68.

No one appears to be fond of Orban. For instance, the Slovak Foreign Minister sent him away in a literal sense. For those who are in support of Putin and those who desire peace at the expense of Ukraine, I have only one thing to say: Go to Hell, says Rostyslav Kacher.

A soldier from the Democratic People's Republic published the results of a HIMARS missile strike on one of the Russian army's command and control centers. The missile penetrated multiple floors and the floor where a Russian soldier was sleeping, killing them instantly. The missile did not detonate.

The Slovak Foreign Ministry sent a message to Orban on Facebook which was a Russian phrase telling him to go away. The Ministry also stated that providing military aid to Ukraine is morally correct due to the fact that Russians have invaded the country and are causing the death of Ukrainians.

What is the nuclear treaty from which Russia is withdrawing about? According to Victor Shlinchak, the Chairman of the Institute of World Policy, the treaty limits the number of strategic weapons and nuclear warheads, and provides for mutual monitoring of these weapons. However, Russia has not allowed experts to inspect its nuclear sites for a long time, so the condition of the warheads is unknown. Shlinchak is optimistic that the arms race will end with the collapse of the Russian Empire, as it did with the Soviet Union.
