I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises. And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises: NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. NO MORE REGIME CHANGE. WORLD PEACE. And THIS is what the people voted for. Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3. It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS! After the bombs were dropped,...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gives a Hebrew video statement on June 22, 2025. (Screen capture/GPO) Israel is “very, very close” to achieving its goals in Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, having inflicted significant damage both to its ballistic missile program and its nuclear facilities. He promised not to let Israel be dragged into a “war of attrition” with the Islamic Republic, but stressed that this did not mean he would be prepared to end the campaign before all its objectives had been met. The prime minister was speaking to reporters in a pre-recorded press conference on Sunday...

How long do you think this level of conflict will last? Days, weeks, months, a year or more? End of conflict defined here as no more major missile or bomber attacks for an extended period. The kind of attacks that take down buildings.

One week since Israel launched strikes on Iran, there are still no signs of cracks or instability within the Iranian regime, three Israeli officials told The Jerusalem Post on Friday. “There are currently no indications that the central government in Tehran is losing control — quite the opposite. The Iranian regime appears to be tightening its grip,” the three officials said. Dr. Raz Zimmt, director of the Iran Program at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), is not surprised. “It’s not surprising that no cracks are visible,” he told the Post. “Most Iranians are hostile to the regime and...

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

Is this a big story yet?

The declining U.S. birth rate, and the broader demographic shifts it contributes towards, have become a growing concern for policymakers and economists alike. Economic and demographic experts told Newsweek that the trend is one that threatens to destabilize not only the U.S. economy—potentially resulting in several percentage points being knocked off America's annual GDP growth—but global markets as well. "I think it's the single most important issue facing economies across the world, and by some distance," said James Pomeroy, a global economist at HSBC. As is the case with almost every country on earth, U.S. birth rates have been trending...

On 6 December 2024 Romania’s Constitutional Court cancelled the country’s presidential election while runoff voting was already underway in the diaspora. Domestically and internationally, this was justified on the basis of “Russian interference” in the first round, held on 24 November, when little-known independent candidate Calin Georgescu had shockingly topped the poll. The Trump-aligned Georgescu, widely accused by the mainstream media of pro-Russia views, was running on a very effective nationalist, pro-peace platform. He was set to win the second round on 8 December and become president – before the entire process was brought to a halt by the politically-appointed...

...But a phone call between the two leaders in June played out differently from previous ones, according to four people familiar with the call. Biden had barely finished telling Zelenskyy he’d just greenlighted another $1 billion in U.S. military assistance for Ukraine when Zelenskyy started listing all the additional help he needed and wasn’t getting. Biden lost his temper, the people familiar with the call said. The American people were being quite generous, and his administration and the U.S. military were working hard to help Ukraine, he said, raising his voice, and Zelenskyy could show a little more gratitude.

A FARTING whale is thought to have sparked fears that Russian drones were targeting UK nuclear subs. The suspected blow-offs were picked up twice by Navy sensors scanning the area for signs of enemy activity. It raised concerns that one of Vladimir Putin’s drone subs had dropped a listening device on to the seabed between the Isle of Raasay and Applecross in North West Scotland. But a Naval official told The Sun: “We have been analysing the sounds and now believe it was a marine mammal. A whale.” However, another source said they were still worried, adding: “We are taking...

U.S. Navy veteran and Plaintiff Zachary Young continued his testimony Wednesday in the $1 billion defamation trial against CNN. The morning’s testimony featured the jurors being shown fairly damaging messages between Young and CNN reporters Katie Bo Lillis and Alex Marquardt. The messages showed Young was lied to about the nature of CNN’s reporting and Young warning them what they were about to air on TV was factually inaccurate. The jurors looked on intently and were taking copious notes. The jury was first shown how Lillis made contact with Young under the false pretenses that she was doing background research...

Aviation’s move to net zero will cost $5 trillion according to the United Nations, and airlines are already raising prices to pay for it The UK, the EU, and many other governments have pledged to achieve net zero by 2050. This means airlines must shift to SAF {"Sustainable Aviation Fuel" which costs drastically more}. In the UK, SAF must make up 2 per cent of all jet fuel volumes by next year, rising to 10 per cent in 2030 and 22 per cent by 2040. The EU’s targets are more ambitious still, committing to 70 per cent by 2050. 'We...

The depiction of Russia as an inescapable enemy is a dangerous narrative that will only undermine the long-term interests of the United States and the West by fostering permanent strategic ties between Russia and China. Notwithstanding the challenges posed by the Ukraine War, Washington must sooner or later develop a formula to exercise the kind of three-cornered diplomacy between Moscow, Beijing, and Washington developed by President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that helped win the Cold War and bring stability between these three powers. At the same time, Washington diplomats will have to help find a solution...

Proceeds from oil and gas sales for Russia's federal budget rose by around 41% year on year in the first half of the year 5.698 trillion rubles ($65.12 billion), finance ministry data showed on Wednesday, due to rising oil prices and the weaker ruble. Oil and gas revenues have been the most important single source of cash for the Kremlin, accounting for around a third to a half of total federal budget proceedings for the last decade.

Ukraine will be told it is currently too corrupt to join Nato, in a major blow to Volodymyr Zelensky. The alliance will request “additional steps” from Kyiv before membership talks progress, a senior official in the US State Department said. The position will be set out in writing in the Nato communique to be signed at the alliance’s annual summit on July 9. “... we want to talk about additional steps that need to be taken, particularly in the area of anti-corruption. It is a priority for many of us around the table,” the source added. Mr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president,...
