Ukraine Using U.S. Weapons Inside Russia
Ukraine has used U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike at targets inside Russia in recent days, U.S. officials said Wednesday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his previous warning about using Western weapons against Russian targets. On Wednesday, he said Russia could retaliate by providing long-range weapons for use against Western nations.
“That would mark their direct involvement in the war against the Russian Federation, and we reserve the right to act the same way,” Putin said.
Current U.S. policy allows Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons to defend the city of Kharkiv, which is located 12 miles from the Russian border.
White House Attacks Report on Biden Aging
White House officials and their allies are waging a public campaign to discredit an in-depth Wall Street Journal report that claims President Biden is showing significant signs of aging.
The Journal said it interviewed more than 45 Republicans and Democrats who participated in meetings with President Biden and found that many believe the President is slipping in his mental ability. You can read the article here.
Democrats rallied to Biden’s defense Wednesday, blasting the Journal for relying heavily on accounts from Republican leaders. The White House even asked several Democrats to speak with the paper a second time and emphasize Biden’s strengths.
The 81-year-old Biden is the oldest person to hold the presidency, and questions about his cognitive fitness have become a major campaign issue.
List: Ranking Cities by Retirement Income
A new list ranks 345 American cities by total retirement income earned by the average retiree, including social security and other funds.
For social security alone, Ann Arbor, Michigan, has the highest mean amount at $30,428. The city totals vary because they depend on when people start taking the payments, as well as the number of people getting survivor or disability payments.
