Ukraine is being hit by a second wave of missile strikes from Russia following a heavy bombing campaign this morning. An adviser to the president confirmed the fresh round of attacks after explosions were heard in a number of cities. Footage shows a military warehouse near Odessa being obliterated while another video appears to show a number of Russian helicopters attempting to seize Antonov Aiport. The strikes come after Ukraine’s border force confirmed a checkpoint between the Kyiv region and Belarus had been overrun by Russian forces. Troops and tanks have entered the Vilcha crossing, which lies less than a...

Blitz: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win David HorowitzWere I asked to write a book of around 200 pages of text that details President Trump's major domestic and foreign policy accomplishments, provides compelling information about the Deep State coup against the president, includes little-known aspects of the House impeachment effort, and delves meaningfully into the depths of Trump Derangement Syndrome, I'd say you were asking for the impossible. That book would necessarily skim the surface of these issues or leave most of them out. David Horowitz, however, pulls off this incredible feat and offers readers in Blitz a solid...

August 08, 2006 Condi's 'New Middle East' By Patrick Buchanan "Things are as they are, and their consequences will be what they will be. Why then should we seek to be deceived?" -snip- Think back. Had Reagan done to Lebanon, when half a dozen Americans were seized as hostages, what Israel has done, when two soldiers were taken hostage, Democrats would have denounced Reagan as a war criminal. Conservatives would have begged him to ease up. Yet, almost to a man and woman, our politicians are falling all over one another to express their 100 percent support of what...

Chicago dog owners who tether their pets for hours on end without food or water would be reined in -- with a two-hour limit -- under a crackdown proposed Wednesday by the City Council's most powerful alderman. "If dogs are tethered in this way, it makes them more likely to bite humans and makes them mean," said Finance Committee Chairman Edward M. Burke (14th). "It's a question of cruelty to the animals. It's a question of responsible care of animals. If people own pets, they ought to treat them responsibly." The Burke-championed ordinance introduced at Wednesday's City Council meeting would...

Tanks for the Memory By Ralph Kinney Bennett TCS One of the enduring images of the recent war in Iraq is a column of M-1A1 Abrams tanks barreling down the streets of Baghdad on a "thunder run," deep into the city. This spring, American tanks in Iraq gave a small reprise of their astounding successes in the 1991 Gulf War. The superiority of both American and British tanks (and their superbly trained crews) was beyond question. When they engaged Iraqi armor directly, their ability to get off the vital first shot and make it count was decisive. Iraq is littered...

<p>It was America's only battlefield retreat in a land blitzkrieg that toppled Saddam Hussein's regime in 27 days.</p> <p>On the night of March 24, U.S. Army commanders sent 34 of the Army's most advanced attack helicopters against the Medina Division of the Republican Guard near Karbala, 50 miles south of Baghdad.</p>

"America's Stunning Victory"by J. R. Nyquist  It is now apparent that Iraq is on the verge of defeat. The threat to U.S. lines of communications has been countered. Any delays to America’s forward advance were therefore insignificant. At the same time, Iraqi forces were unable to launch an effective counterattack. As these words are written, Iraq’s best divisions are being shredded, the Iraqi people are turning against the regime of Saddam Hussein, and the prospect of a sudden Iraqi collapse is before us.If Saddam’s army collapses or surrenders in the next two or three weeks the war will be...
