@DougAMacgregor Elon Musk prevented an escalating attack on the Russian Fleet. He is one of the very few billionaires that won't join the war party. The media is 100% in line with the people controlling our Government and our financial sector. These people want War. Americans want peace!

Tragedy has almost as many definitions and meanings as it has actual examples.In terms of foreign policy, tragedy can mean a collision of two seemingly valid principles that come into conflict. In Vietnam, the noble aim of bringing some measure of peace, stability and justice to a war-ravaged country was unachievable under the guise of preventing the spread of "Godless, monolithic communism."Tragedy is also inevitable when the obvious best outcome has no chance of surviving the brutal realities and harsh conditions required to end a conflict or war. Ukraine is the clearest example, as this tragedy continues to devastate that...

A gun violence prevention advocate has been arrested in a major drug and guns bust after being snared in a two-year investigation dubbed 'Operation in Plain Sight'.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called for a cease-fire Tuesday in the Russian war with Ukraine. DeSantis claimed that the situation in Ukraine could get far bloodier if an agreement to end the violence between both sides is not met. “You don’t want to end up in like a [Battle of] Verdun situation, where you just have mass casualties, mass expense and end up with a stalemate,” DeSantis said in an interview with Nikkei Asia. “It’s in everybody’s interest to try to get to a place where we can have a cease-fire.” The Battle of Verdun was the longest battle...

American President Joe Biden, accompanied by his son Hunter and his sister Valerie, touched down at a military base outside Belfast on Tuesday evening as he prepares for a four-day tour of Nothern Ireland and the neighbouring Republic of Ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Peace agreement.

Following up on my February 28th post regarding the Russia-Ukraine War, occasionally the question is sardonically asked why Russian President Vladimir Putin didn’t invade Ukraine while Donald Trump was President. The progressives who, to this day, believe Trump was a Russian stooge struggle for an answer. If they were correct, surely Trump would have done nothing more than harrumphed, gone off to play a round of golf, and told Ukraine good luck. Some on the right side of the aisle believe Putin held off out of fear as to how a loose cannon like Trump would respond, one option being...

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would strike a peace deal to end the Ukraine war “within 24 hours” if he were commander-in-chief.“Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if I were in the White House, and what’s going on there is a horror show,” Trump said during an interview on Salem News Channel’s America First with Sebastian Gorka. The 45th president shared his belief with Gorka that the media are drastically underreporting the number of deaths in the war.“Those cities are being leveled, I mean, they’re being leveled. I’ve looked photos and aerials of cities where there’s not...

. 3. Fast from social media. Social media and online activity in general is probably the biggest occasion for unhealthy anger in most of our lives. Take time away from social media this Lent to give yourself more time with God (he may make you angry but he’ll also heal you!). Fasts from social media are like any fast; they help us to become more moderate in our use. Often when I return from fasting from social media, I have a clearer mind and do not get as easily sucked into arguments, scandals, and whirlwinds of gossip, nastiness, and negativity.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the prospect of peace talks with Vladimir Putin while dismissing his Russian counterpart Thursday as a “nobody.” Zelensky used an interview with Britain’s Sky News to declare Putin “doesn’t want negotiations because he doesn’t want peace.” The Ukrainian leader said he was “convinced” Ukraine was “just the first step” for Putin, who has his eye on “other countries” as he seeks Eastern European domination.

Amidst visits to Jerusalem and Riyadh, Jason Greenblatt tells me that if anyone can make it happen, he thinks it’s Netanyahu ABU DHABI – In the coming days, I’ll begin reporting on my meetings with senior government officials here in the United Arab Emirates. It’s been fascinating getting updates on how the UAE leadership views the new right-wing government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the progress that is being made in developing and deepening diplomatic and cultural ties after the signing of the Abraham Accords, the exciting growth of trade between the UAE and Israel. Today, however, I want...

Hollywood’s unconditional love for Zelensky is as strong as ever. This year’s Golden Globes ceremony, which will air Tuesday on NBC at 8 p.m., will feature an appearance by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, who will deliver a “special message of peace.” Naturally, actor Sean Penn will be on hand to introduce Zelensky during the live telecast. In its announcement Monday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn’t say if Zelensky will appear in person at the ceremony in Beverly Hills or will address viewers remotely.

KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s foreign minister on Monday said that his government is aiming to have a peace summit by the end of February, preferably at the United Nations with Secretary-General António Guterres as a possible mediator, around the anniversary of Russia’s war.“Every war ends in a diplomatic way,” he said. “Every war ends as a result of the actions taken on the battlefield and at the negotiating table.”Kuleba said the Ukrainian government would like to have a peace summit by the end of February.

President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in their meeting on Wednesday are expected to discuss what a ‘just peace’ looks like and a potential end to the war in Ukraine, according to a White House spokesman. “I have no doubt that they’re going to talk about President Zelensky’s notion of a just peace and what that looks like, what are the components of that and how do we help Ukraine get to that point,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told CNN on Wednesday.
