Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was undoubtedly trying to “lure NATO” into their war with Russia. “There is no doubt, because he cannot win this war on his own. He knows he’s losing,” Tuberville said during a Sunday appearance on John Catsimatidis’s radio show “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM. However, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously mentioned that the country would never join NATO, although he later walked back the comments. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and has continued to launch deadly drone strikes on the country in an effort to gain more land. The Kremlin...

An ABC 7 News reporter was on scene in the middle of the fires and violent riots and she claimed the protests were “peaceful.” “The demonstrations have been going on right outside the federal detention center. Most of those demonstrations were very peaceful – they’re chanting, they’re shouting… and again, they’re expressing their anger about the detention of so many immigrants at the federal detention center,” the reporter said as she was harassed and heckled by anti-ICE rioters.

President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles originally intended for Ukraine to American forces in the Middle East, in an interview with ABC News published on June 8. Zelensky said Ukraine had counted on the missiles to help counter relentless Russian drone attacks, which include swarms of Iranian-designed Shahed-type drones. On June 1, Russia launched a record 472 drones in a single night. "We have big problems with Shaheds… we will find all the tools to destroy them," Zelensky said. "We counted on this project — 20,000 missiles. Anti-Shahed missiles. It was not...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Deranged Cory Booker is still calling the LA riots “peaceful”: “The reality is, we are seeing peaceful protests launching in Los Angeles.” From Libs of TikTok 1:02 PM · Jun 8, 2025

During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) ripped the protesters for not only tearing Los Angeles apart but for carrying Mexico’s national flag while doing so. “They were literally out there protesting, carrying a foreign flag,” Mullin said. “That is absolutely insane. I mean, they’re not just peaceful protesters. These are illegals. These are exactly why the president is trying to secure our border.” Unsurprisingly, Bash’s first thought was to defend the insurrectionists and ignore the crimes committed

Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom is attacking Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over his statement that U.S. Marines are on “high alert” if needed to help National Guard troops with the out of control illegal immigration riots in Los Angeles, calling it “deranged behavior.” Governor Newsom’s press office also attacked Hegseth, responding to a post by Hegseth criticizing Newsom over the riots with a Reuters photo from Saturday that showed protesters in an intersection waving a Mexican flag in front of a burning automobile. Hegseth commented, “Another “mostly peaceful protest” brought to you by @GavinNewsom DEPORT.” Newsom’s press office replied,...

VIDEOIn this second episode of my Portugal trip I warn viewers to avoid doing something that could easily turn into a horrible NIGHTMARE. My advice, at least in Portugal, is to AVOID renting cars. It could not only end up costing you an absurd amount of money, but it could also become afn extreme annoyance. Transportation in Portugal is inexpensive plus you meet a lot of interesting people on public trasport which would not happen if you are sealed in a car. Finally, in order to navigate many of the roads in Portugal, you have to drive in a manner...

Explanation: From our vantage point in the Milky Way Galaxy, we see NGC 3344 face-on. Nearly 40,000 light-years across, the big, beautiful spiral galaxy is located just 20 million light-years away in the constellation of Leo Minor. This multi-color Hubble Space Telescope close-up of NGC 3344 includes remarkable details from near infrared to ultraviolet wavelengths. The frame extends some 15,000 light-years across the spiral's central regions. From the core outward, the galaxy's colors change from the yellowish light of old stars in the center to young blue star clusters and reddish star forming regions along the loose, fragmented spiral arms....

Bayer explained her push by claiming armed citizens served the role of “intimidation” against lawmakers, making it difficult for some to support certain pieces of legislation. Michigan Senate Democrats in the Judiciary Committee passed bills Thursday that will ban bump stocks and require serialization on so-called “ghost guns.”

President Trump has ordered the California National Guard to secure Los Angeles from the anti-ICE rioters, despite the vocal objections of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass. It’s the first time in 60 years that the commander-in-chief deployed a state’s National Guard without the governor’s blessing, and members of the Trump administration are saying the move is justified because the protests represent a “violent insurrection” against the country. “This is a violent insurrection,” White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller posted Saturday night. Vice President JD Vance also used the word in describing the riots: “Insurrectionists carrying...

On CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," political commentator Van Jones urged President Donald Trump "to take this opportunity to win his feud with Musk by punishing all of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees Musk left behind. Trump may be top dog right now, but he's only got a few years left to affect public policy. The much richer and younger Musk has 40 years left. Trump needs to recognize that these DOGE employees are dangerous." "You think Trump should prosecute them?" Cooper asked. "Yes. He needs to learn from the Biden Administration's lawfare against him and ramp up a...

You can’t make this up.

Back in 2024, Martin Armstrong warned at his World Economic Conference that Trump’s return would start strong… but meet engineered resistance would arrive shortly thereafter. He didn’t just predict civil unrest — he predicted a blueprint for it. Now here we are. Minneapolis is once again the flashpoint, along with LA and many others. Another questionable police interaction. Another viral video.Another round of “spontaneous” riots… that just so happen to be perfectly timed. This isn’t a grassroots movement — this is a coordinated political operation designed to destabilize the country in the weeks leading up to mass deportations. Trump has...
