John Hanick Charged for Violation on US Sanctions
Former Fox News producer, John Hanick, was charged March 3 with violating the U.S.’s sanctions on Russia for being a leading financial supporter of people who favor the separation of Crimea and eastern Ukraine.
Hanick is charged with one count of violating sanctions and another of lying to FBI agents who had interviewed him in 2021. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
The case against Hanick, who has close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, come from eight-year-old sanctions and are part of the broader efforts by the Justice Department with its new task force to “hold accountable corrupt Russian oligarchs.” The charges show a commitment to undermine the democratic processes, as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, said.

Fake Documentary Dehumanizes Trans People
Right-wing podcaster and columnist for The Daily Wire, Matt Walsh, was reportedly caught by transgender activist Eli Erlick last month for trying to mislead people — including transgender MMA fighters Fallon Fox and Alana McLaughlin as well as several surgeons who provide gender-affirming car and Debi Jackson, whose 14-year-old transgender daughter appeared on the cover of “National Geographic” — into being interviewed for a anti-trans documentary.
Walsh’s organizational front, called the “Gender Unity Project” had already interviewed at least nine people and one filmed scenes for the fake documentary.

Clay Higgins Blames “Millennial Leftists” for War in Ukraine
Louisiana’s Republican Congressman Clay Higgins pointed fingers at what he called “millennial leftists” in a cryptic tweet February 27 for what seems to be blame for Russia invading Ukraine. The Congressman said that millennials, who are born between 1981 and 1996, “never lived one day under nuclear threat” and that they have caused “a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets,” piecing together a lot of buzz-words to not particularly make any sense.

For the original tweet:
You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky.
