Russia has successfully tested a nuclear-capable, nuclear-powered underwater drone, President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday, defying US President Donald Trump's warnings with Moscow's second test of a new nuclear weapons system in just a few days. Putin on Sunday oversaw a test of another advanced nuclear-capable weapon -- the Burevestnik cruise missile, which he said had an "unlimited range". Trump called that exercise not "appropriate". "Yesterday, another test was conducted for another prospective system -- the unmanned underwater device 'Poseidon,' also equipped with a nuclear power unit," Putin said in televised remarks while visiting a military hospital treating Russian soldiers wounded...

The Arctic Frost investigation was a codenamed FBI probe launched in April 2022 under the Biden administration. Originally, we were told it was an investigation into the legitimate alternative electors from the 2020 election. On Tuesday, we found out that the investigation was much more than that. It now appears that Arctic Frost, launched by Jack Smith and the Biden regime, was an attempt to wipe out MAGA and to persecute many of the top MAGA personalities. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee released new Arctic Frost documents, which revealed the investigation was much...

Released today by the FBI, nearly 200 pages of formerly classified FBI documents, posted today on the House Judiciary Committee website and proves that the "state law cases" with the fake criminal charges against Pres Trump, Trump lawyers, Trump electors...and supporters were NOT state initiated AT ALL. These were ALL proxies for the feds...the BIDEN feds.... The FBI with the blessing of the Biden DOJ and no doubt the Biden White House initiated and conducted the entire investigation of hundreds and hundreds of RNC, Trump campaign employees, consultants, lawyers,...

President Donald Trump and his administration are undoing a Biden-era immigration provision that would have facilitated abortions for children. The Daily Signal reported that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is terminating rules and programs that violate the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal taxpayer dollars for abortions. The move includes ending a rule change from 2022 affecting the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a division of HHS that deals with unaccompanied children (UACs) encountered crossing the border. The Biden administration issued a requirement that ORR facilitate UACs with “access to medical care, including transportation...

Moral relativism is enticing. It enables me to establish the moral value of everything I do by reference to the behavior of others. It allows me to avoid censure by judging my intentions, choices and actions not on the basis of whether they are intrinsically right or wrong, but by the lesser standard of whether someone in a similar position might have done something similar. It is deeply corrosive of personal mores and social trust. Over time it dulls the conscience to any moral hierarchy. It is never a legal defense and shouldn’t be a moral one. Moral relativism is...

Democrats on the House Education and Workforce Committee expressed opposition Monday not just to layoffs that have occurred since the start of the government shutdown but also the Trump administration’s apparent lack of transparency about which federal employees are being laid off. “While relevant agencies have confirmed that their staff were impacted, government officials have provided little detail to Congress or the general public, leaving us to rely mostly on media reports and social media posts regarding the dismissal of staff from various agencies,” the lawmakers wrote in a Monday letter urging Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought...

Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin’s top economic envoy, arrived in the United States with holes in his sails and no wind to push him forward. He was a man on a desperate mission.

The meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, expected to take place within two weeks, was shelved.
