The LGBTQ community’s effort to redefine the term lesbian to mean “non-men” who love “non-men” is a “travesty,” a lifelong lesbian and TikToker said. “I feel like we’re experiencing an entire new form of domestic abuse, not just against lesbians, but against women in general,” Carol Hatch, 52, told Fox News. “We’ve been told that trans women, which are biological men, are better than women, that we are now cisgender.” “And now we have young ladies who dislike themselves so much that they can’t even say the word ‘woman,’” she added. “They have to call themselves ‘non-men.’”The LGBTQ advocacy group, It Gets…

Washington — The FBI disrupted a 20-year-old sophisticated malware network used by the Russian government to collect sensitive information from hundreds of infected computers across 50 countries, the Justice Department announced Tuesday. Dubbed “Operation Medusa,” the FBI says its court-authorized neutralization of the Kremlin-backed hackers in the U.S. succeeded, thanks to a digital tool called “Perseus” that turned the malware’s functionality against itself and forced the program to self-destruct on infected computers. Officials say the malicious software known as “Snake” served as a covert avenue by which Russia’s intelligence forces stole and transmitted information from a targeted victim base that included NATO…

Moscow has acknowledged that its forces had fallen back north of the battlefield city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, in a retreat that the head of Russia’s Wagner private army called a “rout”. The setback for Russia comes after reports of Ukrainian advances around the city and suggests a coordinated push by Kyiv to encircle Russian forces in Bakhmut, which has been Moscow’s main objective for months during the war’s bloodiest fighting. It means both sides are now reporting the biggest Ukrainian gains in six months, although Ukraine has given few details and played down suggestions a long-planned counteroffensive had…

And there’s no evidence so far that this policy works, but they’re going to continue it,” he told CNA. “If you look at the broad theme of the policy, they’re going to deal with the ageing society, the poor and increase the welfare state. So overall, there’s nothing wrong with that. But there are alternative…
