⚡️ White House: Classified Documents Found at Biden's Delaware Home

Classified documents from President Joe Biden's time as vice president were discovered at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House announced Thursday.

According to Richard Sauber, a special counsel to the president, Biden’s personal lawyers examined several locations after the first batch of classified documents was found at the office of his former Washington institute in November 2022.

A “small number” of files with classified markings were located in a storage space in Biden's garage, with one document found in an adjacent room, Sauber said.

He added that the Department of Justice was “immediately notified” of the find.

Snowden: Biden Seems to Have 'Absconded' With More Classified Docs Than Whistleblowers

Former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden offered a scathing comment on Joe Biden’s classified document scandal. The man, who himself blew the lid off a widely cast net of cyber espionage organized by the US, wrote ironically on his Twitter feed that the US president appeared to have "absconded with more classified documents than many whistleblowers."

According to Snowden, the real scandal wasn't that the 46th POTUS had "classified documents coming out of his socks," but that the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) found out about it a week prior to the November 2022 midterm elections, but opted to "suppress the story."

Russian Army Reportedly Finds Way to Pinpoint Ukrainian Artillery Using Smartphones

Russia’s ongoing military operation in Ukraine has witnessed the heavy use of multiple launch rocket systems, howitzers, and missiles, with both sides taking to a “shoot-and-scoot” strategy – descending on an area using mobile weapons platforms, firing off their rockets or missiles, and evacuating before the other side has a chance to respond.

Russian troops have reportedly created a custom piece of software for ordinary Android-based smartphones and tablets allowing them to help triangulate the coordinates of enemy artillery based on the sounds their fire makes.

Western countries have repeatedly accused Iran of supplying combat drones to Russia for hostilities in Ukraine. No concrete evidence proving such claim has been presented yet, with both Moscow and Tehran rejecting the allegation.

Trump Spitballed About Nuking North Korea & Blaming Someone Else, Book Claims

At the height of tensions between the United States and North Korea early in the Trump presidency, Donald Trump reportedly appeared to seriously consider the idea of nuking the Asian nation into oblivion and blaming someone else for the crime, a new book has claimed.

“What scared [then-White House Chief of Staff John] Kelly even more than the tweets was the fact that behind closed doors in the Oval Office, Trump continued to talk as if he wanted to go to war. He cavalierly discussed the idea of using a nuclear weapon against North Korea, saying that if he took such an action, the administration could blame someone else for it and absolve itself of responsibility,” NYT journalist Michael Schmidt has recalled.

Nebenzia: West 'Real Source' of Ukraine Crisis, Its Narrative Against Russia Hypocritical

The collective West is the real source behind the crisis in Ukraine and its narrative blaming Russia for creating threats to international peace is hypocritical because it ignores the West's egregious violations of international law, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzia said on Thursday.

"International law was repeatedly floated and harmed, well before that, and not by Russia," Nebenzia said during an UN Security Council open debate on the rule of law.
