Biden Classified Docs: Pics from Delaware Mansion Show DESERTED Secret Service Post
The images procured by Fox News from the street outside the address are from April 19, 2019 - the day Biden announced his candidacy for president.
Besides completely abandoned surveillance posts, the pics reportedly also show some of the classified documents - recovered from Biden’s Delaware residence - in the garage, placed haphazardly next to his Corvette.
The snapshots come a day after it emerged that the residence had not maintained visitor logs since the start of Biden’s tenure as POTUS.

How the Red Army broke the siege of Leningrad
By the beginning of 1943, Leningad had been under siege for two years and had lived through terrible starvation, which had claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants. Numerous attempts to liberate the city, cut off from the rest of the country, had invariably ended in failure. Following the success of the Red Army at Stalingrad, the Soviet command decided that this time it would finally succeed in turning the strategic situation in the north of the country around.
80 years ago, on the morning of January 18, Soviet troops fought to open up a narrow corridor to the besieged city of Leningrad. A railroad was built through it in literally two weeks and supplies started reaching a city that had been bled dry.

Russian NHL Star Boycotts LGBTQ Warm-up Due to Religious Beliefs
Philadelphia Flyer's Ivan Provorov boycotted the LGBTQ-themed warm-up before the match with the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, citing his Orthodox religion not allowing him to support such beliefs.
Provorov asked for his choice to be respected, as the Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church called Provorov's refusal to go out on the ice in a uniform with LGBT symbols an example of fortitude.
Philadelphia head coach John Tortorella was sympathetic to his decision, but one Canadian journalist from TSN called for the defender to be suspended from the game because of his views.

One Third of US Congress Received FTX Funding
196 of the newly-sworn in lawmakers took direct contributions from Sam Bankman-Fried and other former executives of the fraud-riddled crypto firm, with questions being raised about the legality of the funds and how to return them.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are among the highest profile recipients. So far only 53 of the 196 have decided what to do with the donations.
64% have forwarded the money to non-profit charities, and others have set aside the money to return to FTX victims.

Jan 8 Protestors Hit with 'Coup' Charges
39 attendees of the protests outside Brazil's congress in support of former President Bolsonaro's lost election were also charged with violent attempts to subvert the democratic state of law and criminal association - and prosecutors have called for their imprisonment.
More than a thousand people were arrested on the day of the demo - which many have compared to the US protests on Jan. 6, 2021 - and the charges against the 39 are the first to be made.
The protestors “attempted, with the use of violence and serious threat, to abolish the democratic rule of law,” according to a statement. "The ultimate objective of the attack… was the installation of an alternative government regime.”

Church of England Refuses to Back Gay Marriage
The Church of England will not change its existing doctrine and will only allow for marriage between a biological man and woman, following a meeting of archbishops concluded five years’ debate about the Church’s position.
The bishops are proposing instead couples who married in a civil ceremony may have their union blessed in church.
“For the first time, people in same-sex [civil] marriages, in civil partnerships, can come to the church for their relationships to be acknowledged, dedicated, and they can receive God’s blessing,” Stephen Cottrell, the archbishop of York, told BBC Radio, calling the move “a real step forward, something really important”.
