The Kremlin said on July 29 it had “taken note” of a statement by US President Donald Trump that he was shortening his deadline for Moscow to sign up to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face sanctions. Mr Trump set a new deadline on July 28 of 10 or 12 days for Russia to make progress towards ending the war in Ukraine or face consequences, underscoring frustration with President Vladimir Putin over the 3½-year-old conflict. Asked about Mr Trump’s statement on July 29 during a conference call with reporters, the Kremlin kept its remarks short. “We have taken note of...

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed in a report published on Tuesday that the United States and the United Kingdom have decided to replace Volodymyr Zelensky as president of Ukraine with ambassador to London, Valerii Zaluzhny. According to the document, the agreement was made during a meeting between the delegates of the US, the UK, and Ukraine in the Alps. Kiev was allegedly represented by Zaluzhny, who was also Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief until 2024, Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR MOU) Chief Kyrylo Budanov, and Zelensky's aide Andriy Yermak.

You guys, the Democrats are desperate to be more masculine. So desperate, in fact, that Rep. Eric Swalwell of California apparently recorded this video of himself in the gym bench-pressing 135 pounds. Bro, if you're trying to appeal to masculine male voters, I don't think 135 is going to do it! Throw a ten on each side there, and maybe we can talk, but 135 is peewee league stuff

In what he mistakenly thought was a winning argument in his campaign for New York City mayor, former Gov, Andrew Cuomo said he "will move to Florida if socialist Mamdani wins in November." Brooklyn resident Luigi Corleone said "I was planning on voting for Sliwa. He's not a communist kook or a crook like the others, but the opportunity to get Cuomo out of the state is very tempting. Mamdani's ideas are stupid, but I don't think he ever murdered anyone. Cuomo, on the other hand, ordered nursing homes to admit covid-infected old folks. Thousands died as a result. Cuomo...

New revelations suggest a conspiracy at the heart of the Obama White House to target Trump as a Russian agent. It’s beginning to look like the Obama administration was all-in on the Russia collusion hoax long before Trump won the 2016 election. On Monday, Fox News reported that before the FBI ever launched its politicized probe of the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia in the summer of 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies had “credible foreign sources” indicating the FBI would help spread the Russia collusion hoax, which of course is exactly what happened. It’s the latest twist in a string...

Once upon a time, there was a rock-ribbed conservative U.S. senator who tried mightily to get an über-conservative law passed but was met with great resistance by his liberal colleagues. This went on not for months, but for almost two years. But he was so persistent and determined that those same resistant colleagues — and their lapdogs in the left-wing media — started to call him “bulldog” — even, at times, Senator Bulldog! Then, one beautiful spring day, he was both astounded and delighted to learn that he had enough votes to pass his proposed law. The vote was to...

When I finished and published my first novel, it became apparent to me that an Author’s Website was important. I set about creating mine. What are the benefits of an Author’s Website? It shows professionalism and dedication to prospective agents, publishers, event coordinators, journalists, and your readers. An agent or a publisher is far more likely to become interested in your novel if you demonstrate that you are dedicated to your craft. A website will confirm your dedication. You have full control over your brand and the presentation of your work. Even if social media or retail outlets remove or...

Tulsi Gabbard didn’t assume the role of Director of National Intelligence to play ceremonial dress-up." —Toresays.com on "X". You must suspect there’s some game afoot in this Epstein business. Only days ago, it was “fuggeddabowdit . . . nuthin’ there . . . get over it.” But then, only days later, the second-in-command at DOJ, Todd Blanche, formerly the president’s personal lawyer, was down in Tallahassee deposing Jeffrey Epstein’s second-in-command, Ghislaine Maxwell. (Note: a deposition is testimony outside of court, recorded under oath.) The Deputy Attorney General deposed her for two days, Friday and Saturday, a total of nine hours....

The New Zealand government has been accused of covering up data on the nation’s Covid “vaccine” deaths in order to support its own narrative that the mRNA injections are “safe and effective.” The government’s Royal Commission has been tasked with investigating the nation’s COVID-19 response. However, the body is facing intense criticism for ignoring key scientific data and creating a narrative that unquestioningly supports government policies and the “safety” of mRNA “vaccines.” The inquiry, now in Phase Two, is focusing on the mass “vaccination” campaign. However, the Commission is being accused of dismissing credible concerns and cherry-picking evidence to back...

“And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; we are perishing!’ He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?’” (Matthew 8:25–26). Sometimes God has to bring us to a point of desperate need before He can get us to turn to Him. That’s what happened to the disciples when the storm was about to swamp their boat. They had no other human solutions for their emergency and had to come to Jesus with their need. If He could cleanse lepers and heal every other sort of disease, maybe He could control...

In a remarkable move, President Donald Trump’s administration has successfully reopened a key oil reserve in the Pacific Ocean after it was offline for a decade. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum led the charge to restart the Santa Ynez Unit in just five months. The region is estimated to contain 190 million barrels of recoverable oil. The reserve is capable of providing 80 percent of regional production. The effort had been delayed for years under previous administrations due to bureaucratic red tape. The Santa Ynez Unit, which had been out of operation since 2015 due to an oil spill caused by...

Former two-term Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is running for the Senate in battleground North Carolina. Cooper announced his candidacy on Monday morning in the open-seat race to succeed Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who announced late last month that he wouldn’t run for re-election in the 2026 midterm elections. "I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina," Cooper said in a social media post. Cooper's campaign launch is seen as a major coup for the Democratic Party, as he was the party's top recruit...

Donald Trump Jr. just broke the news in the Douglass Mackey case, and it’s big. On Donald Trump Jr.’s show, which aired Monday evening on Rumble, Mackey announced that he will be suing the US government for what was done to him. Not only that, but he’s bringing in some serious firepower. Mackey announced that he has retained attorney James Burnham, who previously served as general counsel for DOGE, as well as counsel to the president, the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and the AG’s office. Back in 2020, right after Joe Biden was installed in the White House, one of...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, allegedly told The Atlantic she was "shutting down" its profile of her after learning the author had reached out to other Democrats without telling her. Staff writer Elaine Godfrey described in an article on Sunday that Crockett called her four days before the piece was published "to express frustration that I had reached out to so many House members without telling her first." "She was, she told me, ‘shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions,’" Godfrey wrote. Despite this assertion, the article was published and included comments from both Crockett and other Democratic figures. Democrats...
