Zelensky Tells Trump That Ukraine Faces a Fork in the Road: Join NATO or Go Nuclear What way out do we have?' the wartime leader tells the 45th president. 'Either Ukraine will have nuclear weapons, which for us will be a defense, or we'll need to have some sort of alliance.' COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I have family in Kyiv, and as you have reported, they are unhappy with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I am not sure who is pulling his strings, but he is a threat to Ukraine. As you have pointed out, they had their freedom. Attacking the Donbas was not...

During a CNN interview Wednesday, Luntz, also known as 'The Nostradamus of pollsters,' said the Democratic nominee was doing well in the polls until she 'froze' after focusing her attention on Donald Trump. 'She had the best 60 days of any presidential candidate in modern history,' Luntz said. And then the moment she turned anti-Trump and focused on him and said 'don't vote for me, vote against him.' That's when everything froze.' Luntz added that Trump is 'defined' as he is 'not gaining' and 'not losing' in the election, while his opponent is 'less well defined.' And if she continues...

If you noticed, some of the biggest names in finance are starting to run away from their initial support of Kamala Harris. It’s not that they’ve seen the light and are ready to embrace Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda. Rather they’ve seen the poll numbers (they pay up for the real ones the public isn’t privy to) and they’re slowly coming to terms that the sometimes crass, often indicted Trump might just be winning this race against Harris for the White House. And they’re scared. That’s the assessment from my sources at top Wall Street firms who witnessed interesting 180s at...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that if former President Donald Trump wins the presidential election, billionaire businessman Elon Musk would likely be “running the government.” Host Kristen Welker said, “I have to ask you about developments related to Elon Musk. The Wall Street Journal reporting this week that Musk a major government contractor and someone that has security clearance that gives him access to highly classified information has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin for the last two years. My question for you, is it appropriate for Elon Musk to have these secret...

The House report on HHS Covid propaganda is devastating. The Biden administration spent almost $1 billion to push falsehoods about Covid vaccines, boosters, and masks on the American people. If a pharma company had run the campaign, it would have been fined out of existence. HHS engaged a PR firm, the Fors Marsh Group (FMG), for the propaganda campaign. The main goal was to increase Covid vax uptake. The strategy: 1. Exaggerate Covid mortality risk 2. Downplay the fact that there was no good evidence that the Covid vax stops transmission. ... The propaganda campaign extended beyond vax uptake and...

UPDATE: - "You heard it here first… the shooter is a radical Muslim that shot a Jewish guy walking home from temple. The kicker is that the Muslim guy (shooter) illegally crossed the border into the United States in March 2023."

Daily Readings from the USCCBAs Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” Mark 10:46–47Imagine the humiliation you might experience if your only way to survive each day was to sit on the side of the road and beg. As a blind man at that time, Bartimaeus was not able to work and support himself. Many saw his blindness as a...

Senator JD Vance (R-OH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that when former President Donald Trump was speaking about “far-left lunatics who were rioting” when he said the military should go after the “enemy within.” Vance said, “We’re not talking about the public policy. Can we talk about how Americans can’t afford groceries? Can we talk about how Americans can’t afford the cost of housing? Can we talk about that a lot of people out there and Erie, Pennsylvania, they’re the ones who suffer and die when people like Mark Esper and Mark Milley don’t obey the commander...

This might be the most powerful Trump ad he has ever released, it will be airing during the Philadelphia Eagles game today.

Joe Rogan interviewed former President Donald Trump on Friday. As we reported, Kamala Harris' people said that they couldn't do it because of "scheduling." Bad move, given they're having trouble with male voters. Harris instead did an interview with someone who doesn't have anywhere near the reach of Rogan. But "scheduling," they said. It was three hours of just conversation — no way that Kamala could have done it, given her limitations. It was an easy, very relaxed, flowing exchange. It covered a wide range of topics, starting with how much the media has changed and influenced things against Trump,...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump was too unstable, depraved and cruel to be president. Cheney said, “The Trump campaign, JD Vance, they absolutely understand how damaging it is for the American people to see all of these unprecedented levels of senior officials from the Trump administration telling the American people that Donald Trump is unfit. And so they concoct these things that are completely divorced from any connection to the truth to lash out and attack. Look, the American people understand, you know, to have these kinds...

Ever since I did a video on Germany and its procurement and modernisation woes back in 2022, I've felt it would only be fair if some of NATO's other notable performers in that field got some attention. Today we're going to have a look at Canada's defence strategy, its strategic geography and its long record of procurement and budgetary adventures. So take a seat, ready yourselves, and let's see if Germany is about to find a worthy challenger. This is meant to be entertainment, try not to cry. Note that there is at least one audio flub this episode -...

Kamala Harris admitted that she is not good at thinking on her feet while being questioned by the public at a CNN town hall this week - as polls suggest voters are turning to Trump. Retail worker Joe Donahue asked the vice president 'what weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them?' at the live event on Wednesday. Harris, 60, replied that she 'may not be quick to have the answer' about 'a specific policy issue sometimes' because she likes to 'research it' first.

President Joe Biden repeatedly lashed out at former President Donald Trump on Saturday as he described the closing days of the election cycle as “decency versus lack of decency” before branding the Republican candidate a “loser” multiple times. Biden made his claims during a campaign stop for Vice President Harris in the swing state of Pennsylvania when he cast Trump as a “loser” who doesn’t care about union workers and would gladly axe benefits like health care and pension plans if he won the presidency a second time.

While other fake news organizations like the Washington Post and L.A. Times refuse to save democracy, we at the Babylon Bee are proud to do our part. Today, the esteemed Editorial Board of the Babylon Bee has officially voted to endorse Kamala Harris for President. In 2020, the Babylon Bee famously endorsed "Dave" for President, discovering only later that Dave was a role played by actor Kevin Kline in a movie that hit the box office in 1993. This year, we resolved to endorse an actual person, and that person is Kamala Harris. Why Kamala? Take a look at this...

Horrifying viral video captured a woman shouting in a little girl’s face outside Kamala Harris’ Houston rally featuring Beyoncé — as appalled onlookers yelled and tried to push the agitator away. The shocking footage appears to have been at the Houston Metro station outside Shell Energy Stadium on Friday, where the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer spoke at Harris’ event to a crowd of 30,000 and endorsed the Veep. The woman, wearing a light blue T-shirt, can be seen bending over and yelling in the face of a little girl sitting in a stroller. Crowds of people with “Harris/Walz” signs can...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: Biden is telling advisors the election is “dead and buried” and called Kamala an “innate sucker” - per WH official

PITTSBURGH — Mark Cuban admitted Saturday that the Biden-Harris administration should have acted “sooner” to fix the border crisis — while he was stumping for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Pittsburgh. “I would have handled immigration differently,” the business mogul said on the campaign trail on behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee. “And honestly, I think if they could do it all over again — and they won’t say it necessarily — they would handle it differently as well.”

When you think Halloween, it’s hard not to picture candy corn (gross, but iconic), kids in overpriced costumes, and jack-o’-lanterns grinning like they just got their student loans forgiven. But this spooky celebration, now pretty much an American pastime, wasn’t born in the aisles of Spirit Halloween stores. Nope, it started as a Celtic tradition before America slapped its commercial magic all over it and exported it worldwide like a Marvel movie.
