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.

It seems the Kremlin wants to show the world just how bad the situation is for Ukrainian forces along the frontlines in the east of the country, at a moment Russian infantry troops have already penetrated parts of the city of Pokrovsk.
The president said the United States would begin testing nuclear weapons ‘on an equal basis’ with tests conducted by adversaries.
Minutes before he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a statement on social media saying he “instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately.” The reason, Trump explained, was because of “other countries [SIC] testing programs.”
An all-new pattern of air defense site has emerged in China near the border with India.
Russia has been busy this month testing cutting-edge nuclear warhead delivery weapons, at a moment peace talks with Washington centered on finding truce in Ukraine have broken down. ... On Wednesday Russian President Vladimir Putin declared yet another major breakthrough test of a nuclear-capable weapon, this time a state-of-the-art underwater drone named the 'Poseidon'.
I’ve been investigating and writing about Study 329 for almost twenty years as it stands out as one of the best documented case studies of corruption in modern biomedicine. Unfortunately, a piece I wrote for a DC nonprofit documenting much of this evidence disappeared in the last year as the publishing platform shut down. So I’m republishing that 2011 piece here so that it stays available for readers searching on Google.
Two newly released congressional letters confirm years-long reporting that the anti-Trump Jan. 6 committee had quietly colluded with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump.
For the majority of the war Pokrovsk has acted as the logistical hub and rear operations base for Ukraine's eastern defensive lines. It sits astride both a key railroad juncture and the highway to Ukraine’s fourth-largest metro, Dnipro. The city's defensive positions are a final obstacle to Russia's access to most of the region. If Pokrovsk falls Russian forces will be able to more easily flank entrenched troops in the north and south of the country.
After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday instructed the country's military to "carry out powerful strikes in Gaza," the IDF followed in a Wednesday morning statement saying it has resumed the ceasefire in Gaza. The military indicated it had launched "series of significant strikes in which dozens of terror targets and terrorists were attacked" - the result of Hamas gunmen allegedly opening fire on its troops.
Energy and Transport Minister Daryl Vaz told Sky News that eastern regions, including Kingston, were largely spared, but reports from other areas, particularly the western part of the island nation, were entirely devastated by sustained winds of 185 mph, which downed power and telecom lines.
Such large-scale operations in favelas to combat drug cartels have been seen ahead of previous international events in Rio, including the 2016 Olympics, the 2024 G20 summit, and the recent BRICS summit.
The Russian government is preparing to expand military conscription in order to ensure steady flow of manpower related to its Ukraine 'special military operation'.
Mayor Brandon Johnson’s plan to revive Chicago’s “head tax” will only drive more businesses and young workers out of the city—punishing growth instead of fixing government waste.
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.

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.

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.
