Authored by Andrey Kortunov This week’s Kazan Declaration suggests that the BRICS – in its expanded composition– is ready to open a new chapter in its history. Never before have such voluminous documents been adopted as a result of the group’s summits. Moreover, the Kazan Declaration will be the subject of great interest in the world’s political and academic circles, as well as the object of criticism by opponents of BRICS. For the first time, the group’s unified vision of the current state of the international system is set out in detail. The Declaration is a voluminous document containing 134 paragraphs, some of which are quite long. The statement adopted at the previous summit in Johannesburg in August 2023, contained only 94 paragraphs, and a document, adopted in Beijing in July 2022 had 75. Thus, year by year the outcome has become increasingly detailed and, as it is now customary to say, substantive, reflecting the gradual increase in the intensity of the grou

By Jack Phillips With just over a week to go before the Nov. 5 presidential election, more than 40 million people have cast early ballots so far. As of Sunday afternoon, data provided by the University of Florida’s Election Lab shows 41.2 million voted by mail or early in person in the vast majority of states, with only a few states not reporting data. Compared with four years ago, Republicans are returning more mail-in ballots and voting early in-person. Party affiliation does not mean that voters cast ballot for their party’s nominated candidate, meaning there is no way to definitively know what presidential candidate is ahead. In states that report votes by party, registered Democrats have a 3.8 percent lead over registered Republicans, with 40 percent to 36.2 percent, respectively. Independent or minor party voters make up about 23.8 percent of the remainder, according to data provided by the lab. Republicans have a 9-point advantage over Democrats during in-per

By Teri Christoph Byron Donalds is a joy to behold as he tears his way from one interview to the next, dropping truth bomb after truth bomb. He's like a political George S. Patton as he deftly maneuvers his way through the minefields of corporate media, leaving shell-shocked interviewers in his wake. He's a lot like his fellow Republican, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, in the way he dismantles the left's mythical narratives using a cool demeanor and fact-filled responses.  Rep. Donalds (R-FL) appeared Monday on CNBC's "Squawk Box" to  recount  his experience attending Donald Trump's  rally  at Madison Square Garden. You know, the one that Democrats and their water carriers in the media are claiming was  just like  a Nazi rally held there back in 1939. Well, Donalds had a different take, saying he had been there for the entire rally and hadn't seen anything that came even close to racism. The fault, he argued, lies with a media that prioritizes "fearmonge

By Frank Bergman Several workers have been awarded over $1 million each in damages by a California court after they were fired for refusing to take Covid “vaccines.” The jury ruled that rail transit officials in California’s Bay Area must pay more than $7 million to six former workers who were fired for failing to comply with a “vaccine” mandate. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California sided with the group of San Francisco Bay Area Regional Transit (BART) workers. The workers had refused to get the vaccine for religious purposes. BART was ordered to pay the group more than $7.8 million. The federal jury awarded each individual between $1.2 million and $1.5 million. The Pacific Justice Institute, which represented the transit workers in the trial, revealed the ruling in a  statement . The institute, a law firm representing the six former employees since 2022, said the eight-person jury deliberated for two days last week before returning the

By Brandon Morse "Comedy is society's great disinfectant." - Me I've written on multiple occasions about how important comedy is to a civilized society. In fact, I believe it so much I made a video on RedState about it that went somewhat viral. If you haven't seen it, you should watch it, because I'm about to double down on this after the reaction to the comedian at the Trump rally.  The thing about comedy is that when it's good, it doesn't just make you laugh, it heals your mind. Every day we're infected with severity and reality gets distorted through social expectations and politically correct brainwashing, whether we like it or not. The cool thing about comedy is that you can walk into a comedy club knowing a thing is true, and then walk out understanding how absurd that thing was all along.  How many times did we take something really seriously until an episode of South Park highlighted how ridiculous it actually was by

By Susie Moore A funny thing happened on the way to Election Day 2024: While the Commonwealth of Virginia followed the same law it's been following for 18 years — under both Democrat and Republican administrations — and removed non-citizens from its voter rolls, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice decided it imperative to sue the state over this practice.  Here's some added  background  on the matter, compliments of Teri Christoph: As RedState has been  reporting , the Biden-Harris Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Youngkin two weeks ago, alleging he had illegally cleaned Virginia's voter rolls back in August, when the names of over 6,000 non-citizens were removed. The lawsuit seemed like an odd, unnecessary move by the DOJ at the time since Virginia seemed like a shoo-in for Kamala Harris. Perhaps things were a little too close for comfort? Youngkin  appeared  on FOX News Sunday last weekend to  explain  to host Shannon Bream all about the proce

By Jim Hoft A 39-year-old Jewish man on his way to synagogue on Saturday was shot by a man screaming “Allahu Akbar” in a Jewish suburb of Chicago. The entire shooting was captured on a doorbell security camera. The man was critically injured in the shooting. The West Rogers Park neighborhood where the incident occurred is heavily Orthodox Jew. A Jewish man in Chicago was shot yesterday, on Shabbat, walking home from synagogue by a man yelling 'Allahu Akbar'. Democrats have opened the door and let terrorists in.
