Whistleblowers have come forward to allege that the Secret Service was understaffed at former president Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pa., where a would-be assassin’s bullet wounded his right ear, because of the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., that concluded days earlier.

Joe Biden‘s embarrassing gaffe where he called Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky “President Putin” at the highly anticipated NATO summit, has been slammed by European Officials, who say it undid all their hard work. As we reported on Friday, Biden made two major blunders, the first referring to Ukrainian President Zelensky as “President Putin” and later calling Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.” Here’s a recap: VIDEOS AT LINK............... During the speech, Biden falsely claimed that Trump praised Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and wanted to abandon NATO. Democrats and the media have finally acknowledged Biden’s cognitive decline as pressure mounts for him...

If Joe Biden wanted to design a pair of gaffes to cause his presidency as much damage as possible, it would be hard to do better than his performance on Thursday night. This Nato summit in Washington has already been overshadowed by questions about the US president’s age and mental capacity, and every world leader has been asked about it in interviews here.Two miles away, on Capitol Hill, Democrats have been locked in conclave all week to discuss what to do about Mr Biden and his health.All eyes were on this evening, to see if he could bring this summit...

Counteroffensive update 17th June evening: The massacre near Orekhovo - even experienced officers have never seen something like this. The AFU went on the offensive in large numbers today. Ukrainian infantry moved forward with the support of NATO tanks and armored vehicles. After a heavy and long battle, within a day, this Ukrainian assault battalion was completely destroyed. What happened today near Orekhovo was a Slaughter!!! One gets the impression that NATO members gave Kiev a very "hard deadline". Time is limited, since the NATO summit is on July 11-12th. Only one problem the Russian army is strong, but this...

President Joe Biden said new sanctions on Russia were about 'increasing the pain' on Russian President Vladimir Putin – whom he termed a 'brute' during a tense exchange with a reporter at a press conference in Brussels Thursday. -snip- 'I did not say that sanctions would in fact deter him.

LONDON - When U.S. President Joe Biden flies to Europe this week, he will find his hosts welcoming but wary. His predecessor Donald Trump may be gone, but he leaves a long shadow. Biden’s first foreign trip as president starts Wednesday and includes a gathering of the Group of Seven wealthy nations by the seaside in southwest England, a NATO summit, a meeting with European Union chiefs, and then a tete-a-tete in Geneva with his Russian counterpart and adversary, Vladimir Putin. For most of America’s allies, Biden is a relief. Trump often sowed chaos, accusing the NATO military alliance of...

“Germany is totally controlled by Russia … They will be getting between 60 and 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline, and you tell me if that is appropriate because I think its not,” Trump said. The U.S. president was speaking at a press conference in front of NATO representatives ahead of a two-day summit. The Trump administration’s policies indicate it views security and trade as intimately linked. And when it comes to the trade balance, no ally will be spared. Speaking in Brussels, Belgium on the first leg of his European trip, the U.S. president...

Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said Sunday that President Obama’s inertia on whether to launch airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Syria is part of an overall foreign policy failure that is empowering China, North Korea, Russia and other rival nations. “It’s all related,” Rogers, R-Mich., told “Fox News Sunday." “The world sees the United States as withdrawn.” Rogers said the president’s apparent disengagement or slow response is the reason China has engaged U.S. pilots and Russian President Vladimir Putin has moved into eastern Ukraine without fear of consequence. “U.S. foreign policy is...

CHICAGO -- Prosecutors say three men arrested in a raid on a Chicago apartment had planned to attack President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home and other targets, including police stations and police cars.

A Chicago police officer suffered a stab wound to the leg, Sunday, and three others were injured during a day of protests around the NATO summit. Chicago police Supt. Garry McCarthy did not know what was used to stab the officer and became emotional when discussing the crowd with which his officers dealt. "If you think it's easy to ask people to do what they did, it's not," he said, pausing to gain his composure. "Asking people to put themselves in harm's way, knowing that they're going to get assaulted, and to be able to stand there and take it,...

Four words: it’s all about me They came from all over the world, Norway, Turkey, Croatia France and Albania, to accompany Lady M on a tour of a youth center on the South Side side of Chicago (where Lady M herself grew up, in case you’re from Croatia or somewhere). MO wanted to show the NATO spouses that - just like in their countries - America has poor, underprivileged children too. The only difference is that here, since the Wons took over, we take care of our underprivileged youths. matchy, matchy; matchy, matchy

Curious indeed is the choice of the date of May 19 for this week’s NATO Summit in Chicago. How about this for symbolism? This is the same date listed as the “May 19 Communist Coalition, May 19 Communist Organization or rather just M19CO”. Why would Obama and his schedulers happen to pick the date of May 19 to invite leaders from around the world to descend on the city that launched him into politics, namely Chicago? Was a master plan for the usurpation of America as a land of the free hatched way back in the Ayers days of rage...

This was filmed in Elgin, Illinois about 40 miles from Chicago. I assume it's for the NATO summit this week as a security measure.
