Trump’s greatest weakness continues to be in foreign policy. As much as I and other conservatives appreciate the complete change in atmosphere brought about by Trump’s second administration pushing back against decades of reverse discrimination, leftist control of education, and public funding of so many anti-American organizations, his widespread use of executive power leaves the door open to equally tyrannical reversal of those edicts when the Democrats take power again. The ridiculous “No Kings” movement is trying to target this heavy use of executive power, which is hypocritical since they loved it when a Democrat acted like a king. I still take issue with Trump’s mostly arbitrary decrees that change weekly, which are destabilizing to the world (as in Trump’s constantly changing tariffs), but also in his attempts to make a deal with real foreign adversaries, no matter how many times they renege. When China reneged on their deal to supply rare earth minerals to the West, Trump responded with a threat of additional 100% tariffs on Chinese goods, and simultaneously cancelling his meeting with Xi. I had hoped Trump was waking up to this dictator, but Trump reversed course again yesterday by agreeing to meet with Xi just prior to the implementation of the new higher tariffs. Apparently, Trump’s eternal quest for “deal making” makes him vulnerable to being fooled by yet more false promises of compromise. He never seems to learn when he’s dealing with inveterate liars and deceivers. This week, I’ll also cover his flip flop over agreeing to meet (again) with Putin in Budapest, despite Putin’s betrayal of his feigned desire in the Alaska meeting for peace in Ukraine.

Hamas is obligated, as part of the U.S.-brokered cease-fire agreement, to return all hostages it has held in Gaza, including both the living and dead. While Hamas turned over all of the living hostages, there have been delays in returning the remains of all 28 hostages believed to be deceased at the start of this latest cease-fire.
While Grokipedia content is being created by AI, Wikipedia content is written by millions of volunteer contributors, whose sourcing is limited by an official color-coded list of sites given grades such as "generally reliable" (green) or "generally unreliable" (red). Hardcore leftist outlets Mother Jones and the SPLC get the top green rating, as do MSNBC and CNN. Fox News gets a middling yellow "marginally reliable" rating, while ZeroHedge is red due to "propagation of conspiracy theories." Antiwar.com, which we've found to be exceedingly well-sourced while observing high journalistic standards, is also off-limits.
According to the report, China is expected to commit to more controls on the export of precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl. In return, the U.S. could cut its 20% fentanyl-related tariff on Chinese goods by as much as 10%, the people said.
Welcome to the new "normal" in Europe, where a 15-year-old girl is terrified to take the bus or go running alone due to mass immigration...She directly blames IPAS centers, short for International Protection Accommodation Service, which are migrant accommodations sprouting up across Ireland. She also expresses her worries about future centers being built in her area.
It should be recalled that, in the case of SLAM, the nuclear ramjet had no shielding to contain dangerous radiation, a requirement driven by the need for the powerplant to be small enough to fit inside the missile. The SLAM’s exhaust plume also contained unspent fissile material that would have contaminated any area, enemy-controlled or not, that it passed over on its way to the target. While the Burevestnik has already been likened to a ‘tiny flying Chernobyl’ by some observers, it’s important to remember that we still don’t know how it functions. Nevertheless, provided it does indeed use nuclear propulsion, as claimed, there exists the risk of accidents.
Gen. Gerasimov additionally described that no other nation in the world has such a 'unique' weapon which is practically invincible. "It is undetectable by conventional radar and can only be tracked by specialized spacecraft during the launch and acceleration phases," Russian media has additionally claimed. The Burevestnik project was first publicly disclosed during initial development by President Putin in 2018, when he said that a one-of-a-kind weapon with unlimited range and extreme maneuverability was being worked on.
Argentina's bonds, currency, and equities surged early Monday after President Javier Milei's party secured a crucial midterm victory. The result is key to preserving Milei's sweeping economic reset in a country crushed by decades of nation-killing socialist mismanagement. Milei's free-market reforms and aggressive austerity program have already begun to cool inflation and stabilize financial conditions, signaling to investors that the restructuring path remains intact.
The decentralized anti-fascist warriors in the Portland-area cell, aligned with the radical Democratic Party, were in full retreat overnight after officers from the Portland Police Department cleared out their encampment in front of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the Portland metro area.
On Saturday, the last cooling towers of a German nuclear power plant were demolished in Gundremmingen, Bavaria. Germany thus continues, symbolically and materially, its isolated energy policy path. Even the increasingly dramatic economic situation seems unable to shake the German spirit.
The Army is highly concerned about its near total reliance on local power grids to energize its most critical installations.
Why investing in domestic production may serve Ukraine better than limited Western missile transfers
one of the greatest deceptions of all time and one of the greatest cover ups too. the majority of people still roll up their sleeves for whatever injection the doctor recommends
On May 1, Dallas and Tyson, fraternal 18-month-old twins, were found dead by their mother after receiving the Hepatitis A, flu and DTaP vaccines on April 23. The mother told the pediatrician that the family of the twins’ father had a history of allergic reactions to the flu vaccine, but the pediatrician said it would be OK to give the shot to the babies anyway.
Not that science will change anything, but people who think they are "saving lives" with vaccine mandates for kids to attend school are both delusional and anti-science.
If passed, the State Bill 188 would allow the state to systematically collect data necessary to determine whether vaccines may be linked to unexpected deaths in young people, according to the bill’s author, Maija Hahn, chapter leader for Children’s Health Defense Florida.
Bolton abused his position as National Security Advisor by sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor—including information relating to the national defense which was classified up to the TOP SECRET/SCI level—with two unauthorized individuals,” federal prosecutors allege in the indictment.
Larry Sanger said that the website has become biased against conservative and religious viewpoints but that he sees a way to fix it.
The Montana Supreme Court upheld the police's warrantless entry. Apparently, the government's "reasonable suspicion" that Treavor Case might need "help" was sufficient to justify an armed warrantless intrusion into his home. That standard is alarmingly low. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause and judicial approval before government agents may enter a home. It does not permit entry based on a hunch.
“Anyone who actively obstructs law enforcement in the performance of their sworn duties or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences,” DHS posted on X. Earlier this month, Apple removed two apps that were helping users track and avoid ICE agents after the Trump administration issued legal threats.
Democrats cry “No Kings” while wielding royal power—raiding rivals, silencing dissent, and crowning heirs without a single vote.
Victims were promised the chance to gamble alongside NBA greats - with the former pro athletes known as 'face cards' while the victims were referred to as 'fish,' according to Nocella. "What the victims, the fish, didn’t know, is that everybody else at the poker game, from the dealer to the players – including the face cards – were in on the scam," said Nocella. "Once the game was underway, the defendants fleeced the victims out of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars per game."
“Given President [Vladimir] Putin’s refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia’s two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin’s war machine. Treasury is prepared to take further action if necessary to support President Trump’s effort to end yet another war. We encourage our allies to join us in and adhere to these sanctions.”
“Everytime I speak with Vladimir I have good conversations and then they don’t go anywhere. They just don’t go anywhere,” Trump told reporters during his meeting with Rutte.
Tuberville notably defended keeping the filibuster after Republicans won control of the Senate in last year's election, while other GOP senators are predicting that President Trump will start pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to change the Senate rules if the shutdown continues into next month - a move Thune has explicitly said he opposes.
Even CNN admits that this time is different, with polling numbers shifting far more in Trump's favor during the current shutdown fight. Trump has learned to anticipate Democrat disinformation methods (their denials about healthcare subsidies for illegals have been effectively exposed), and with far fewer insiders in a position to undermine his policies, the administration is less likely to fold and give Dems what they want.
The Ballroom will eliminate the need for temporary tents on the South Lawn during state dinners and other major functions—tents that Trump has long criticized as “unsightly” and impractical during inclement weather.
“There was no impact to any movements and no individuals were present or involved at the location,” Guglielmi told Fox News, noting that Secret Service agents found the stand before the president was due to arrive in Palm Beach.
Though he may be unpopular with a particular strain of MAGA Republicans who put pure obedience to Trump above principles like limited government, fiscal responsibility, a non-interventionist foreign policy and fidelity to the Constitution, Massie has built a large national following of people who think he represents the conservative ideal. Trump's launch of the anti-Massie PAC has spurred those followers to open up their checkbooks, with Massie posting his best-ever fundraising quarter, racking up $768,000 from July to September.
Three other European officials briefed on the White House discussions confirmed that Trump had spent much of the meeting lecturing Zelenskyy, repeating Putin’s arguments about the conflict and urging him to accept the Russian proposal....Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he was confident about securing an end to the conflict, and added that Putin is “going to take something, he’s won certain property”.
Trump had given a strong hint on where he stands when just before the two leaders' working lunch when he declared he wants to resolve the war "without thinking about Tomahawks" and additionally that the weapon is one America "needs".
