Vladimir Putin has ordered his security services to track down Russian citizens fighting in Ukraine's military. Speaking at a meeting of the Federal Security Service's (FSB) board today, the Russian leader said those who fought for Ukraine were "traitors" and there would be "no mercy" for them. "I request, as has always been the case in our history, that we do not forget who they are, identify them by name. We will punish them without any statute of limitations, wherever they may be located," he said, according to Politico. He also compared Russians fighting for Ukraine to the Russian Liberation...

We’d like to have the DeSantis of yesteryear; the one fresh from his first Governor’s race who defied partisan worries by championing the environment and other bygone middle-of-the-road-type policymaking. But what it seems we’re getting is the vengeful, angry DeSantis who will be the public official equivalent of a drunk dad returning from a all-night bender itching to kick the family pooch. Sources have told me that DeSantis has implemented a new edict that departures from his administration are on hold until at least Summer, if not next year. Anyone who leaves would be blacklisted, according to sources. After DeSantis...

former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines has emerged as a powerful advocate for the integrity of women's sports. Poised beyond her years — she's 23 — Gaines has handled everything that the frothing, hate-filled advocate Left has thrown at her because she speaks the truth. She recently spoke before the House Oversight Committee and brilliantly smacked down an idiot Democrat who called her "transphobic." Another female NCAA athlete has been getting some attention for speaking truth to insanity. .. volleyball player Macy Petty spoke about her two biggest concerns regarding trans athletes, the first being a growing number of stolen opportunities...

Haley — the former South Carolina governor and the only woman in the 2024 race — was asked Wednesday night by “The Daily Show” guest host Charlamagne tha God if she was going to wear heels so she can tower over DeSantis at the third GOP debate next week in Miami. “I don’t know. We’ll have to figure that out,” Haley replied...I’ve never hid that from anybody. I’ve always said, ‘Don’t wear ’em if you can’t run in ’em,’ so we’ll see if he can run in ’em.” Trump’s super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., also trolled DeSantis Wednesday...

DeSantis is below 20%, a drop-off from summer polling in the state. In yet another early state in the Republican presidential race, Ron DeSantis is in a deep hole. A new poll of 650 likely Nevada Republican caucusgoers from CNN shows the Florida Governor with 13% support, which is just 1/5 of Donald Trump’s 65%. This number is well outside the margin of error of +/- 5.3 percentage points, and represents a drop-off from polls this summer that showed DeSantis over 20% in the state. DeSantis is stronger with some voters than others. He boasts support from 36% of “non-Trump...

Former President Donald Trump anticipates Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) campaign will soon run out of funds and the Florida governor will exit the presidential race. Trump took to Truth Social on Tuesday to share his prediction, likening his foe to “a wounded bird falling from the sky.” “He has proven to be a terrible and inept candidate who even fought Social Security and MediCare,” Trump wrote before calling DeSantis’s struggles a “beautiful thing to watch.” “He will SOON be out of money and dropping out of the race for President,” Trump said. “After having single handidly gotten him elected Governor,...

Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis hasn't been doing all that well in the polls compared to his rival, Donald Trump, and according to jokes that have followed to the Florida governor for roughly a year, he may be seeking a "boost" in the form of high-heeled shoes. This recently caught the attention of former President Trump, who reposted a popular meme of DeSantis supposedly wearing high-heeled boots on a recent clip with Bill Maher, meaning there's a good chance Trump's next lowbrow line of attack will involve mocking DeSantis' footwear. Here's how DeSantis' shoes entered the national Republican presidential conversation. Why...

Russia’s parliamentary leaders plan to consider exiting an international treaty banning nuclear tests as a means of retaliation against Western support for Ukraine. “We are talking about the withdrawal of ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty,” State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin wrote Friday on social media. “The situation in the world has changed. Washington and Brussels have launched a war against our country. Today's challenges require new solutions.” Volodin embraced the idea after Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled his interest in the exit during his address to the Valdai Discussion Club. The Kremlin chief also positioned the withdrawal...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to Donald Trump's recent attack on former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, saying that it was "really, really bad." "Donald Trump, even his greatest supporters have acknowledged, had a tough time picking good people. He had a lot of terrible personnel decisions, people like Jerome Adams, his Surgeon General...so we know there was a tough record, but Kayleigh was one of the greatest selections. She did a fantastic job," DeSantis, who is also a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said while appearing on the NH Journal podcast on Friday. DeSantis added: "She's a Harvard-trained lawyer,...

Video shows Trump flailing his arms while steadying himself a few feet from the lectern after disembarking from Air Force One. "Looks like he almost tripped," Liz Willis, a Right Side Broadcasting network announcer, remarked during a livestream of the event. "I'm sure he will make a joke out of that one in just a moment."

Four of Tom Petty's family members came together Saturday night to quickly release a statement blasting the president for using the rocker’s “I Won’t Back Down” at his Tulsa campaign rally, saying Petty “would never want a song of his used for a campaign of hate. He liked to bring people together.” The statement said that Donald Trump “was in no way authorized to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense behind. Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind.” The declaration was...

The traditional White House portrait unveiling may be skipped for the first time in decades amid bad blood between Trump and Obama. WASHINGTON — It’s been a White House tradition for decades: A first-term president hosts a ceremony in the East Room for the unveiling of the official portrait of his immediate predecessor that will hang in the halls of the White House for posterity. Republican presidents have done it for Democratic presidents, and vice versa — even when one of them ascended to the White House by defeating or sharply criticizing the other. “We may have our differences politically,”...

Hollywood actress Lori Petty — who has starred in Orange Is the New Black, Point Break, and the critically acclaimed Tank Girl — has insulted Americans across the board by claiming that they have low IQ’s. “I believe what we have forgotten is that the average IQ in Amurrrikkka is 99,” Petty tweeted on Friday. She said that a third of Americans, including President Donald Trump, have IQ’s lower than that. “A third, plus the murder-in-charge, I guess, lower than that. So, in the house I happily stay, besides kissing y’all.” It remains unclear what spurred Lori Petty’s acrimonious tweet,...

“How would you describe the job President Trump is doing behind the scenes and in front of the cameras during these daily briefings that we’re seeing?” a Christian Broadcasting Network reporter asked. “What’s been your perspective, Dr. Birx?” “He’s been so attentive to the scientific literature and the details and the data,” Birx replied. “And I think his ability to analyze and integrate data that comes out of his long history in business has really been a real benefit during these discussions about medical issues,” she added. “That was translated from the original North Korean,” Williams announced with authority as...
