Pressure is mounting to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons on military targets within Russian territory. The big picture: After the Biden administration instituted the ban in an attempt to keep the conflict from escalating, calls to remove the embargo have been growing from U.S. lawmakers, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Hunter Biden’s last-ditch effort to throw out the federal gun charges against him failed ahead of his criminal trial set to begin next week. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals rejected on Tuesday Hunter Biden’s appeal of Judge Maryellen Noreika’s decision to deny his motion to dismiss the gun charges on Second Amendment grounds. The court dismissed Biden’s appeal because it lacks jurisdiction. “Criminal defendants ordinarily cannot appeal until after final judgment,” the appellate panel wrote in a two-page order. “The defendant’s Second Amendment defense does not implicate a right not to be tried that can be collaterally appealed.” The...

Not only is the Biden administration bent on turning a blind eye to terror-supporter Iran’s world-dominating nuclear ambitions, it’s pushing our allies to ignore them, too.

Since the start of the war, Western allies have asked Ukraine to refrain from using their donated weapons to strike deep inside Russia. Ukraine urgently needs the West's go-ahead to launch attacks on Russian territory with donated weapons, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday after signing a long-term security deal with Belgium that includes the provision of 30 F-16s fighter jets by 2028. The deal, however, prohibits Ukraine from deploying the sought-after aircraft to strike targets located on Russian soil.
