Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called on Mexican Americans and undocumented Mexicans living in the US to push back on the proposed levy on remittances put forward by the Republican Congress. "We do not agree with this tax, which, it should be noted, has been proposed by the Republican congress members. So far, they are the ones who have brought it up. We disagree for two reasons: first, it is discriminatory, and second, it violates a treaty between Mexico and the United States," Sheinbaum said.

It’s becoming routine: Tucker Carlson is apoplectic at talk of using military force to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program. Unable to conceal his animus, his June 4 X.com hyperventilation is a result. He hopefully feels better for the effort. This time it’s because Mark Levin visited Trump, advocating bold action against Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Carlson seems particularly incensed that two Jews, Levin and Steve Witkoff (whom Carlson describes as a “Long Island native”), advise Trump. Is “Long Island” an antisemitic dog whistle? San Francisco native Carlson referenced Levin six times, emphasizing his loathing. Carlson uses argument ad hominem and conjures imaginary...

American President Donald Trump has once again threatened Russia. He claims that if Russia crosses the line, the United States will respond, Trump made this statement during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House. Furthermore, Trump recently said that in two weeks, he would know whether Putin is trying to deceive him about ending the war. According to Trump, if the Russian President lies about peace, the US will change its approach. "If i see somebody's out of line. If I see Russia's out of line — you will be amazed. Remember this: they like to...

Current Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio, was chair of the senate select committee on intelligence (SSCI) and a Gang of Eight member since day one of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Due to his role in the Gang of Eight Senator Rubio was briefed on all the covert activities being carried out in Ukraine by the CIA and Pentagon. That is why when Secretary of State Marco Rubio told media months ago that “Ukraine was a proxy war for the United States against Russia,” it was a jaw-dropping statement. If anyone would know the receipts, it’s the former...

Former Trump strategist and War Room host Steve Bannon is calling for the arrest of Sen. Lindsay Graham over his trip to Ukraine and pushing for the war to continue. Bannon stated that at the very least, the South Carolina career politician should have his passport revoked and be barred from returning to the United States during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Monday. “He’s giving Ukrainians false hope,” Bannon said. “Two things ought to happen; either cancel his passport and don’t let him back in the country, or put him in jail if he comes back. Lindsay...

MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon called on President Donald Trump to condemn Ukraine’s weekend drone attack on Russian airbases and “pull all support” after reports that the White House was not informed in advance of the offensive. More than 40 warplanes, including Russia’s Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers, were reportedly damaged or destroyed across four airbases in Murmansk and Irkutsk, thousands of miles from Ukraine’s border. The operation, which Ukraine revealed it had been in planning for 18-months, came just one day before Monday’s peace talks were set to begin in Istanbul. Axios reported on Sunday that sources within the administration...

MAGA insider and former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said Monday that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of Kyiv’s strongest backers in Congress, should be “arrested” if he doesn’t stop traveling overseas and “stirring it up” in Ukraine. Bannon expressed his frustration over Ukraine’s stunning drone attack on Russia’s strategic bombing fleet, which destroyed 40 aircraft deep inside Russian territory, giving Ukrainian forces a potential morale boost. Bannon said the White House should condemn the military strike and crack down on Graham’s diplomacy. The senator applauded Ukraine’s resourcefulness in pulling off a successful attack Sunday. “The White House...

Beck & Bannon together for an hour --- It doesn't get any Better than this ! ! ! Episode 4431: Glenn Beck LIVE In The War Room 4/22/2025

The above is a video from when John McCain and his neocon successor, Lindsey Graham, shook the hands of Nazis in Ukraine) Former White House strategist Steve Bannon declared that t Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and the deep state are “dragging us into a kinetic third world war.” Graham and fellow necon Dem Senator Richard Blumenthal took it upon themselves to personally visit Zelensky in Ukraine where they urged him to ignore orders from Washington. “Lindsey Graham’s over there saying, ‘Hey, forget Trump. I got the House and Senate. We’re going to pass it. You’re going to see something in...

If you were unfamiliar with the American analytics company Palanatir Technologies, prepare to hear about it on every news channel in the coming months. Donald Trump secured the presidency twice because he was the anti-establishment candidate. The White House has tasked Planatir with developing an extensive centralized federal database to house the personal data of every American citizen. In March 2025, Donald Trump signed an “Information Silos” executive order focused on “removing unnecessary barriers to federal employees accessing government data and promoting inter‑agency data sharing are important steps toward eliminating bureaucratic duplication and inefficiency.” Planatir was a clear choice. At...

Illegitimate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky opened his comments at the peace negotiations in Turkey by gloating about Sunday’s surprise attack deep inside Russia and begging the West (NATO) for more weapons to hurl at Russia. Zelensky’s comments come the day after Ukraine and its Western allies pulled off a massive attack deep inside Russia.

Ukrainian drones took out numerous Russian bombers on Sunday over a thousand miles from the border with Ukraine. This comes one day before peace talks resume in Turkey. ================================================================== Ukrainian drones on Sunday took out an estimated 36% of all Russian strategic aviation! $2 billion worth of damage! Volodymyr Zelensky announced that 117 drones were used in the strike inside Russia that wiped wiped out dozens of nuclear “doomsday” bombers and other aircraft. President Trump WAS NOT NOTIFIED of the attack before it took place – because Trump wants peace and the globalists want World War and the destruction of...

First the cliff notes version: There’s an important detail to remember. People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible. Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance. The U.S and NATO have provided the means. However, #1) did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just...

Vladimir Putin is set to dismiss his intelligence chiefs following a catastrophic security breach, which led to Ukraine taking out 41 aircraft worth £1.5billion across multiple airbases. The Russian leader has been conspicuously absent from public view since Ukraine's successful strikes, with an insider revealing: "He will hit back at Ukraine, but also avenge his underlings who allowed this humiliation to happen." The FSB security service, led by Putin's close ally Alexander Bortnikov, 73, faces particular scrutiny over the intelligence failure, which led to 117 first-person view kamikaze drones carrying out the daring attack. Civilian lorries were able to carry...

A trilateral meeting between delegations from Türkiye, Russia, and Ukraine is scheduled to begin at 1 pm local time on Monday at Istanbul’s Ciragan Palace, Turkish diplomatic sources said. The talks will be chaired by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and are expected to bring together senior officials from all three countries. Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) Director İbrahim Kalin is also slated to attend.

ATTENTION!So, it appears Zelenskyy gave the go ahead to attack parked Russian nuclear capable bombers without informing @realDonaldTrump (if true that our President was not consulted nor informed, this isn’t simply a breach of protocol. It’s a geopolitical insult and a warning sign. If Ukraine is willing to conduct strikes with strategic consequences without notifying the White House, we are no longer allies with coordination issues—we are co-belligerents flying blind).Also given Senator “warmonger” Lindsey Graham’s and Senator “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal’s recent visit, this attack could appear as though it was sanctioned. I pray the Russians have better intelligence than...

In a revealing moment on CBS News’ “Eye on Politics,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) gave what may be one of the most revealing defenses yet of the Biden administration’s handling of President Biden’s cognitive decline—and ended up admitting far more than she may have intended. When asked by CBS’s Jack Fink about Republican allegations that Democrats and the White House had misled the public about Biden’s obvious mental deterioration, Crockett pivoted—hard. Instead of directly addressing the evidence millions of Americans had witnessed, she accused Republicans of crafting an “ecosystem of lies,” while conceding Democrats had, in fact, hurt themselves politically....

For President Donald Trump, anytime is a good time for dealmaking, but never more so than now with the leaders of China and Russia. Last Monday, Trump said he wanted to normalize commerce with Russia, appearing to lessen the pressure on Moscow to settle its war with Ukraine. And he is trying to limit the fallout from his own global trade war by urging China’s leader to call him. “We all want to make deals,” Trump said in a recent interview with Time magazine. “But I am this giant store. It’s a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go...

In the depths of the ocean, there are countless undiscovered shipwrecks. Ranging from old sailing vessels, to massive cargo haulers. Most of these wouldn't get even a bit of interest. However, when you limit yourself to *warships*, well, that changes. And in today's video, we'll be looking at another five missing wrecks. Consider this something of a sequel to the video I made a couple years back, after Nautilus visited Midway. In light of their upcoming Guadalcanal survey, this felt fitting.

The US is essentially “facilitating the persecution of Christians in Ukraine by supporting the Kiev government, which has been waging a purge campaign against the nation’s canonical Orthodox church,” American journalist Tucker Carlson has said. Carlson made the statement during an interview with a former Ukrainian MP, Vadim Novinsky, released on Friday. The Ukrainian government has been cracking down on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) for months, which it views as having ties to Russia.
