We applaud all journalists who place their lives on the line to write the wrongs for the first draft of history. We work every day to bring news and information to audiences all over the world. However, all too often, it comes at great costs. Our admiration, gratitude, and unwavering support because democracy dies without a free press.

我们赞扬所有将自己的生命置于危险之中,写下错误和历史初稿的记者。我们竭尽全力为世界各地的观众带来新闻和信息。然而,它往往要付出巨大的代价。我们的钦佩、感激和坚定不移的支持,因为没有新闻自由,民主就会消亡。

President Joe Biden Speaks at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner LIVE from the Hilton in Washington DC.

I've attended these in the past and can say, I do not miss these events. However, I'm glad that we are back to a place where we don't have a thin-skinned president who can't tolerate the kind of skewering the chief executive always receives at these events.

Why doesn’t the United Nations Security Council expel Russia? Putin has now turned it into a terrorist state, no longer a worthy member.

Some UN member nations are now formally recognizing Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine as genocide. If Putin does not respect The UN, then let them get Russia the hell out of the UN Security Council for the good of humanity.

Communist propaganda has told millions of Russians who watch state-sponsored media are repeatedly told that Russia is not bombing Ukraine.
