Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian warplanes

A surprise Ukrainian drone attack that targeted several Russian air bases hosting nuclear-capable strategic bombers was unprecedented in its scope and sophistication and for the first time reached as far as Siberia in a heavy blow to the Russian military. Ukraine said over 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet, were damaged or destroyed Sunday, although Moscow said only several planes were struck. The conflicting claims couldn’t be independently verified and video of the assault posted on social media showed only a couple of bombers hit. But the bold attack demonstrated Ukraine’s capability to hit high-value targets anywhere in Russia,

Zelensky is playing with fire. What has this 'raid' achieved? (Except inviting) More ruination and destruction rained upon Ukraine and a step closer to making Putin feel more threatened, irrational prone to taking the doomsday nuclear step. Someone or something has to stop this insanity.

How in the world did the Ruskies allow a swarm of Ukrainian drones to attack and destroy parts of their strategic nuclear arsenal? What does this say about Russian defense capabilities? Are Russian WMDs susceptible to seizure by trained terrorist groups? The seriousness of this action by a small country is frightening.

One of these days, Mr. Putin is going to get mad and will stop playing cat and mouse with the global deep state. Ukraine apologists notwithstanding, Russia has been remarkably restrained as the CIA, EU and NATO press the pedal to the metal towards WW3. Anyone cheering on this obscenely corrupt regime and its enablers is complicit.

Putin is getting a lesson in guerrilla warfare, and should have taken action to avoid that with a neighbor. You would have thought Russia would have learned something from Afghanistan, but it looks like not.

The US was attacked when the bad guys figured out that they could hijack their planes and turn them into flying bombs. In war, there is quite a bit of out of the box thinking that can do an end around even the strongest military.

#3 If Putin's goal is to rebuild the Soviet Union, as so many Western "experts" insist, then shouldn't the Russian conventional military be powerful enough to easily defeat Ukraine? Over 3 years of war and not much territory gained. Therefore, either Russia isn't so powerful or Putin has been, as you say, restrained. One way or the other we are being lied to

A Russian rocket attack targeted the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Tuesday, killing at least four people and wounding 25, officials said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the assault, saying it underscored that Moscow has no intentions of halting the 3-year-old war. The attack came a day after direct peace talks in Istanbul made no progress on ending the fighting. Local authorities said the barrage of rockets struck apartment buildings and a medical facility in the center of Sumy. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s secret services said they struck inside Russia again, two days after a spectacular Ukrainian drone attack on air bases deep inside the country.

This article was co-authored by Greg Blackie. He is the deputy director of policy for the Arizona Free Enterprise Club. In November 2022, Arizona voters narrowly approved Prop. 308, making Arizona the 24th state in the nation to offer taxpayer-subsidized, in-state tuition rates to illegals. Its narrow passage on the ballot was preceded by its razor-thin passage at the state legislature. It slipped out because two former Republican legislators, who had since lost their seats to primary challengers, rolled their caucus and voted in lock step with Democrats to force it for a vote.

Democrats' Party pearl-clutchers, perverts, and activists pretended to be upset last week over the idea that we’re all going to die. The fact is, we will all die someday, though their bad ideas will live on – 100,000,000 people were killed in the pursuit of the progressive political philosophy over the last century. There isn’t a single leftist alive who is bothered by that fact who can attest to that fact. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst told a group of liberals whining over the prospect of able-bodied adults without young children having to work to receive medical welfare that “Well, we’re all going to die.”

Donald Trump's efforts to reach an agreement with Iran on ending its nuclear program just got a lot more complicated. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a "comprehensive" report on Iran's nuclear program requested by the agency's 35-member board. The report confirmed that Iran had been carrying out clandestine nuclear activity at three sites long suspected of conducting weapons research. It also concluded that Iran had vastly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), spinning up 50% more as of May 17 than they had previously reported. That translates into the capability to construct up to nine nuclear bombs.

Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office.

The late Irving Kristol defined a neoconservative “as a liberal who got mugged by reality.” It turns out the process was not limited to people of an earlier era, as the ongoing saga of Jake Tapper illustrates.

Trump’s announcement came at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Works in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, where he held a rally celebrating the “planned partnership” between U.S. Steel and Japanese company Nippon Steel to keep U.S. Steel in America. “Today, I have a major announcement, and are you ready to hear this?” Trump asked the crowd, drawing cheers. We are going to be imposing a 25 percent increase–we’re going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States,” Trump said. “Nobody’s going to get around.

Palestinians picking up food packages from the Trump administration-backed American alternative to the United Nations (UN) in Gaza were reportedly shocked the aid was free, having become used to being charged for it. As Breitbart News reported, the new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was launched to provide an alternative to the UN, which either fails to deliver trucks of aid or allegedly lets Hamas steal the supplies. Hamas then keeps the aid (especially fuel) for itself, sells the aid on the black market, or makes Palestinians pay inflated prices for it.

In the olden days, the world was run on a feudal system. There were a handful of mostly inter-related nobles who lived in palaces, wore fancy clothes, and ate sumptuous food. They were served by a large class of serfs who did the unpleasant things like digging latrines, plowing fields, slaughtering animals, tanning leather, and all of the other work needed for the nobles to live in luxury. In return, the nobles kept the serfs from starving but generally oppressed them and sometimes did so gratuitously for their own amusement.

4:56 The federal government cannot invalidate immigration documents that allow roughly 5,000 Venezuelan nationals living in the United States to remain in the country until October 2026, a federal court in California ruled on May 30. In February, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated Venezuela’s 2023 designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a temporary immigration status granted when foreign nationals cannot return to their home countries because of safety concerns, such as ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or epidemics. A TPS designation protects individuals from deportation and allows them to apply for authorization to work in the United States.

Former Acting US Secret Service Director Ron Rowe has finally resigned from the agency. Earlier this year President Trump announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director. Ron Rowe who served as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned last summer remained on payroll as a “senior advisor” for several months. Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign. Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.
