Starlink was barred from turning on satellite beams in Crimea at the time, because doing so would violate US sanctions against Russia! We received an unexpected request in the middle of the night to activate Starlink in Crimea in a matter of a few hours from the Ukraine government, but received no request or permission to override sanctions from the US government. Had we done as Ukraine asked, it would have been a felony violation of US law. We also make it clear in our terms of use that Starlink is a commercial system, not a military system. Use of...

President Trump appears ready to expose all of the sick politicians, celebrities, and other powerful individuals who benefitted from notorious Democrat p*dophile Jeffrey Epstein’s connections.

Former Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he did not believe Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris had suddenly become a “centrist.” Toomey said, “We need Republican control of the Senate and that is absolutely essential. If the other side runs the table, then Katie bar the door, they they will repeal the filibuster and they will be dragged by their left wing, which is clearly in charge now. I think Kamala Harris proved that with her vice presidential selection. It is huge tax increases, it’s probably some version of Medicare for all and...

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson fawned over Darryl Cooper, whom he described as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States,” during a recent interview in which Cooper identified Winston Churchill as the “chief villain” of World War Two and appeared to argue that the Holocaust was an accident. Cooper’s claims followed Carlson’s profession to be “highly distressed by the uses to which the myths about World War Two have been put in the context of modern foreign policy — particularly the war in Ukraine.” “You know, Churchill’s the good guy, Neville Chamberlain’s the bad guy....

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’s Democratic running mate in the 2024 race for the White House, is scaring “MAGA men” by subverting the traditional patriarchy and “offering living proof their tormented masculinity is yesterday’s news” according to an essay in Salon magazine. The commentary, contributed by Christopher Cotton, is a long piece that sets out the argument a revolution is reshaping how men view themselves in society and it is being led from the front by Walz and his “dad” vibes despite this being the man critics point out signed laws that install tampon-dispensing machines in K-12...

The chef, 56, took to Instagram on Monday to pay tribute to the late Tony Bennett by making his favorite dish, Ossobucco, which consists of braised veal shanks with polenta and bread.
