"If this doesn't stop, the Ukrainians aren't winning the war," the VP added. "It has to...

Pope Francis has died aged 88. He had been battling severe illness including a double pneumonia for weeks, which obviously took a massive toll on his health. Yet somehow twisted leftists are blaming Vice President JD Vance. Yes, really. Vance visited with the Pope on Easter Sunday, just hours before his death. He thanked the Pope for seeing him and told him “I know you have not been feeling great, but it’s good to see you in better health.” Francis had been in hospital for over a month and given that he was now out and conducting meetings and giving...

Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. must understand both Russia and Ukraine's strategic red lines to end the war, and dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's "absurd" suggestion that Washington is taking Moscow's side. Zelensky had told CBS' 60 Minutes program that he believes "Russian narratives are prevailing in the U.S." and that he understood Vance to be "somehow justifying Putin's actions" by presenting Ukraine as an aggressor, too. Why it Matters There are ongoing tensions between the leaderships in Washington and Kyiv as the Trump administration tries to broker an end to Russia's war. Some in Washington see Zelensky...

China is pushing back Tuesday after Vice President JD Vance told Fox News last week that the U.S. borrows "money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture." Vance, during an interview with "Fox & Friends," made the remark while speaking about the effects of the Trump administration’s tariffs.

Mitch McConnell (R-KY) after the senator voted against the nomination of Elbridge Colby to serve as Under Secretary of Policy at the Defense Department, describing the move as a grand display of “political pettiness.”“Mitch’s vote today — like so much of the last few years of his career — is one of the great acts of political pettiness I’ve ever seen,” Vance said, as Colby’s nomination brought out the worst of globalists.In a statement explaining his vote against President Donald Trump’s choice, McConnell asserted that Colby’s public record “suggests a willingness to discount...

Under unpopular Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the United Kingdom continues to devolve into a censorship state devoted to the Globalist agenda. The examples abound, but this week, a court decision put the issue of the transatlantic relationship with Donald J. Trump’s United States in the spotlight. A pro-life activist was found guilty on Friday (4) of breaching an order banning protests outside an abortion clinic in southern England.

So it’s not like deportations have stopped, but yes, the radical courts are a problem. But...

Democrat Delaware Sen. Chris Coons told CNN Monday that the “average middle American” is too dumb to identify Greenland on a world map. Coons criticized President Donald Trump’s plan to purchase Greenland from Denmark and make it U.S. territory for resource and national security purposes, arguing that the plan will not resonate with the average American because they do not even know where the island is. Trump said no options for acquiring Greenland are off the table, emphasizing that a takeover of the island is a necessity to protect the U.S. against the threat of Russia and China’s increasing influence...

Two months after he was inaugurated, Trump has smashed many of the government's silly DEI rules. But he hasn't created a new age of meritocracy.On Inauguration Day, President Donald Trump vowed to "forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based." Less than two weeks later, Vice President J.D. Vance's office hired Buckley Carlson—the 24-year-old son of former Fox News host and popular conservative pundit Tucker Carlson—as deputy press secretary. At least young Buckley can be certain that he didn't get the job because of the color of his skin. The dismantling of the federal government's various so-called diversity, equity,...

While the default European position on purported leaked messages calling their defence policy pathetic freeloading has been outrage and despair, the United Kingdom accepts “the Americans have absolutely got a case” on lack of military spending on the continent. Responding to alleged leaked ‘Signal’ encrypted messenger texts between senior Trump administration figures including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Britain’s defence minister declined to join in outrage and say the messages have a point. Speaking to Times Radio on Wednesday, Defence Minister John Healey said he found America’s new attitude that Europe must stop totally relying...

The left-wing media went into overdrive on Monday following a report by Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic that he was mistakenly included in a chat on Signal with senior Trump administration officials. Goldberg claims that the top national security officials were coordinating a military strike through the group chat. CNN’s Scott Jennings destroyed the narrative from Goldberg’s article and the subsequent claims from the left-wing media.
