Ukraine Drones Again Target Strategic Bomber Base Deep Inside Russia
On Wednesday a wave of Ukrainian drones targeted a well-known airbase deep inside Russia which is home to strategic bombers. The air base, called Engels 2, is near the Russian city by the same name, and nearby residents reported hearing at least four explosions during the attack.
The Main Directorate of Ukraine’s Military Intelligence (HUR) has since owned up to the attack, with sources in Russia confirming to international media that “targets had been hit” and the damage is being assessed.
Some drones may have been intercepted, however, with Roman Busargin, the governor of the Russian region of Saratov, describing in a statement that a drone attack was “repelled”. This attack is significant given Engels is located over 600km from the Ukraine border. But it’s not the first time it has come under attack during the war.
In December of 2022 there were reports that two Tu-95 bombers were damaged in a similar drone operation from Ukraine. Later that same month explosions were reported at the airbase but the extent of damage on the ground was unclear. During this latter attack, three Russian servicemen were reportedly killed by falling debris after UAVs were intercepted.
A well-known Russian Telegraph channel which reports breaking news related to the Ukraine war said of this newest assault on the airfield: “Preliminary data suggests the anti-aircraft defense system was activated. Residents report hearing a prior siren. There is no official information on casualties or damages.”
Ukraine-based media sources have speculated that something was hit at Engels:
Meanwhile, social media users mentioned a fire at the airfield area post-explosions, with rescuers quickly arriving.
One commentator, residing near the airfield, wrote, “There was at least one direct hit, the rest (of the drones) likely shot down by anti-aircraft missiles. Then came the fire trucks, ambulances, police with flashing lights.”
Engels has long been known to house both Tu-160 and Tu-95MS long-range bombers which are being used in Ukraine, thus it remains a high priority target for Ukraine’s cross-border attacks against Russian territory.
The Kremlin has accused Western intelligence with assisting in such operations. This recently found some degree of positive confirmation in a damning New York Times story detailing the extent of the CIA’s presence in Ukraine going back a decade. The CIA established intelligence outposts along the border with Russia, many of which are likely directing these attacks into Russian territory.
Feeling emboldened by a string of ‘successes’, including prior attacks and bombings in Crimea but especially destruction of oil refineries, Ukraine forces will likely try to continue hitting targets inside Russia, also as their capability grows given they have been supplied with ever-longer range rockets from the US and NATO countries

Gay Bar Managers Arrested in Russian City
A Russian court has ordered the arrest of an administrator and an art director of a gay bar in the city of Orenburg on Wednesday. They were charged with violating the ban on LGBTQ “propaganda.”
According to news agency RBC, the employees identified by the media as Diana Kamilyanova and Aleksandr Klimov are the first people who have been arrested since Russia formally banned the “international LGBT movement” last year.
The arrest comes after police raided the bar Pose on Monday. In its post on Telegram, the court described the administrator and the art director as “persons with non-traditional sexual orientation” and said they will remain behind bars until May 18.
According to the court, the administrator has been accused of organizing shows that constitute “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations.” The art director, meanwhile, was responsible for “the selection of drag performers” and has been accused of “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among the bar’s patrons and on the bar’s Telegram channel.”

Both were charged under Article 282.2 of Russia’s Criminal Code, which deals with membership in banned organizations. If found guilty, they would face up to eight years in prison.
In 2022, Russia expanded the existing ban on LGBTQ “propaganda” to minors by outlawing it altogether. Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the State Duma – the lower house of Russia’s parliament – said at the time that the ban would shield “our children and the future of the country from the darkness spread by the US and European states.”
President Vladimir Putin insisted last month that the authorities do not have issues with what the members of the LGBTQ community do in their personal lives as long as they “don’t flaunt it” in public.

Liz Warren And Socialist Pals Want To Normalize Confiscation Of Assets With ‘Ultrarich’ Tax
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Tuesday reintroduced her ‘Ultra-Millionaire’ Tax Act, by which the government would confiscate 2% from households worth between $50 million and $1 billion, and 3% on households worth over $1 billion.
Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Brendan Boyle (D-PA) have introduced a companion bill in the House.
“As President Biden says, no one thinks it’s fair that Jeff Bezos gets enough tax loopholes that he pays at a lower rate than a public school teacher,” Warren said in a statement. “All my bill is asking is that when you make it big, bigger than $50 million dollars, then on that next dollar, you pitch in two cents, so everyone else can have a chance.”
While Warren insists that the bill would affect the wealthiest 100,000 households in the US – roughly 0.05% of the population, Democrats routinely lie to sell voters on their plans, and normalizing the confiscation of assets would obviously open the door to the consideration of confiscation among lower wealth brackets.
Communist Elizabeth Warren, (“Democrat”, Mass), is seeking to confiscate your capital with the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act which confiscates capital, not income: it would confiscate 2% of household wealth worth $50 million to $1 billion and a 3% of worth more than $1 billion

According to Fox News, Warren’s bill contains additional rules to go after wealth head in trusts as part of a tax minimization strategy, and would give the IRS and additional $100 billion to fund auditing and enforcement efforts. ‘Tax-and-spend’ at its finest.

Warren’s proposal also includes a 40% “exit tax” on people worth $50 million or more who attempt to renounce their US citizenship to avoid paying the tax (which would obviously happen the moment this bill had a chance in hell of passing).
According to the Whatron Budget Model at the University of Pennsylvania, Warren’s legislation would raise $2.7 trillion over a decade. The analysis also concluded that the wealth tax would reduce capital by 3.1%, slash average hourly wages by 1.2%, and reduce GDP by 1.2% in 2050.
“Smaller federal deficits translate into less crowding out and thus increased national saving and greater capital accumulation. However, wealthy households that face a tax on their savings choose to save less and thus accumulate less capital,” the economists explained in 2021. “The net effect is a decline in the total capital stock of 1.4 percent in 2031 and 3.1 percent in 2050. This decline in capital in turn makes workers less productive, which is reflected by a decline in wages of 0.7 percent in 2031 and 1.2 percent in 2050. Lower private capital leads GDP to decline by 0.6 percent in 2031 and 1.2 percent in 2050.”
Warren’s plan has the support of five other ‘Democratic’ senators, as well as 27 House Democrats and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The proposal follows a push by President Biden for higher taxes on businesses and the wealthy at his SOTU speech earlier this month.
“The way to make the tax code fair is to make big corporations and the very wealthy finally pay their share,” Biden read off a teleprompter, asking Congress to raise the minimum corporate tax to 21%, and insisting that billionaires should pay a minimum tax of 25%.
In Nov. 2022, voters in Warren’s home state of Massachusetts narrowly approved a 4% surtax on those making over $1 million – which the state’s Department of Revenue estimates will generate $1.5 billion in revenue for the fiscal year ending this June.
Killing Jobs?
According to Dan Savickas, director of policy at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, “It is clear that lawmakers at the highest levels of government fundamentally misunderstand what net worth actually means. Senator Warren’s proposal sets out to tax wealth as if net worth reflected cash in the bank. It paints a fictional ‘Scrooge McDuck’ image of these billionaires storing their own money in large swimming pools, just laying around.“
According to Savickas, Warren’s wealth tax would be on investments used by businesses to create jobs, helping the economy – and is not a tax on liquid assets that can easily just be paid to the government.
“A tax on wealth is a tax on gains that have not been realized. Innovators and investors cannot pay off something they don’t have. In order to comply with Senator Warren’s ridiculous scheme to boost her political profile, these businessmen and businesswomen will have to sell off these assets or shrink their operations,” he said, adding “This will cost jobs, plainly and simply. This is as misguided an economic policy proposal as there is right now, and it is the working people Senator Warren purports to champion that will bear the brunt of the consequences.”

Watch: Landlord Organizes Protest to Publicly Shame Serial Squatter ‘Con Man’
A Washington landlord organized a protest against a serial squatter who’s taken up residence in his rental property after local authorities failed to take action.
Jaskaran Singh bought his $2 million rental property two years ago in a swanky neighborhood of Bellevue, Washington, and thought a man named Sang Kim was going to be an ideal tenant — until Kim allegedly started refusing to pay rent, which has continued for months.
“He’s not ready to pay. He’s exploiting the system basically,” Singh said, adding Kim cumulatively owes him $80,000.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are getting a glimpse of what society looks like when laws are not enforced. Neighbors in Bellevue may start resorting to vigilante justice.

“I have suffered an $80,000 loss. This should stop. This is a fight against injustice,” he said. “This is not what the American dream is. I need justice and I lost faith in the system.”
What a tremendous turnout in Bellevue to support mom & pop landlord Jaskaran Singh who’s dealing with serial squatter Sang Kim.

Despite his refusal to pay rent, Kim is reportedly employed with a salary of $400,000, and is “doing barbecues, buying new cars, living in the best neighborhood and sending his kids to the best schools.”
“Whereas the poor landlords, they are doing multiple jobs to support the mortgage of his house. [Kim] has no shame and he does not care about society,” Singh added.
After months of refusing to pay, Singh filed a lawsuit to evict to the squatter, who is supported by leftist attorneys and pro-trespasser legislation passed by Democrats in the state.
Singh plans to protest every Saturday in front of his rental property until Kim is evicted.
Singh and journalist Jonathon Choe joined Fox News last week to explain that the King County authorities blaming their lack of action on an “eviction backlog” is just an scapegoat for their radical policies.
“They are simply exploiting the system, and I’m not getting justice. Justice is delayed. I would say justice is denied. The judges are not ready to listen to me, and this is not what the American dream is,” Singh said.
Bellevue mom & pop landlord Jaskaran Singh orchestrated a weekend protest to publicly shame serial squatter Sang Kim. Now Singh is turning up the pressure and going national with his story.

“This King County Housing Justice Project, a nonprofit for the King County Bar Association, somehow convinces these judges to get continuances, and it keeps getting delayed, delayed and delayed,” he continued. “What I’ve uncovered is that that’s the tactic. That’s the entire play. That’s the standard for success. Meanwhile, these mom-and-pop landlords are missing out. They’re being completely demoralized.”
Singh said the the next hearing on the case will be held on April 5.
This comes as a homeowner in New York City was arrested on her own property for changing her locks in a bid to get a squatter out of her home.
Illegal aliens are also beginning to realize how to exploit squatter laws in the U.S., with a Venezuelan illegal alien TikToker calling on other illegals to invade uninhabited houses.
