Moscow isn’t shifting on what it considers to be acceptable security guarantees for Ukraine, a top Kremlin official said Wednesday.
The comments by Moscow’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov undercut hopes that any progress has been made toward ending the Ukraine war since Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday in Alaska.
Lavrov’s remarks further indicate that the Kremlin has not softened on its maximalist positions on Ukraine: that it becomes a neutral rump state; drastically reduces its military; and abandons its NATO membership aspirations after Russia is finished with it.

President Donald Trump has instructed legal experts to review “woke” installations in museums nationwide.
According to an Aug. 19 post on Truth Social, the president believes that museums are the “last remaining segment of ‘WOKE,’” and he wants to address the issue the same way his administration has treated colleges and universities.
Trump pointed specifically to a Washington, D.C., icon as a demonstration of the issue, saying, “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been—Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

Essentially China’s “Belt and Road” initiative is a system of China putting massive infrastructure investment funds into a targeted country in exchange for their ability to extract resources needed for Chinese expansion. However, several nations are now rising up against the Chinese influence as it surfaces in the lives of the citizens.
Angola is a case study in China investing billions and with the investment a large number of Chinese citizens arrive set up businesses there. Over time resentment against the Chinese has been building. Then a flashpoint with a massive jump in gas prices. Suddenly, anarchy erupts, and all the Chinese businesses are looted, some even killed

Another preventable tragedy has shown the world just how dangerous America’s roads have become. Three innocent lives were snuffed out when an illegal Indian truck driver, Harjinder Singh, made an insane u-turn on a Florida turnpike.If Singh’s name sounds familiar, it’s because there are unconfirmed reports that he is the same inept (illegal) driver who, a few years back, took out a historic Arkansas bridge after ignoring the posted warning signs.
Either way, he should never have been on the road to begin with, yet here we are, with three more victims and a national scandal that’s now impossible to ignore.

In a creepy Substack video, Trump-hating James Comey, former FBI director-turned amateur life coach, uses Taylor Swift lyrics to bash the president.
He titles the five-minute rant, “On Taylor Swift,” but spends a lot of time griping about Trump, who last week had the nerve to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and try to jumpstart negotiations to end the deadly Ukraine-Russian War.

In 2003, Volodymyr Zelenskyy founded the production company Studio Kvartal 95 with school friends. Kvartal 95 produces films, cartoons and comedy shows, including “Servant of the People,” perhaps Zelenskyy’s most well-known role other than the highest seat in Ukraine.
Kvartal 95 registered Servant of the People as a political party in Ukraine in 2018 to promote Zelenskyy’s campaign. In this photo, Zelenskyy takes part in the production of the television series "Servant of the People" on March 6, 2019.

Zelensky's maximalist position, supported by the UK, France and Germany, is at odds with public opinion in Ukraine. A new, dramatic Gallup Poll makes clear that Zelensky and his hardline clique don't represent what Ukrainians want.Here is what Gallup reports:"More than three years into the war, Ukrainians’ support for continuing to fight until victory has hit a new low. In Gallup’s most recent poll of Ukraine — conducted in early July — 69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory.
This marks a nearly complete reversal from public opinion in 2022, when 73% favored

Jack Schlossberg brought a van to greet Senator Chuck Schumer and the Kennedy heir left with a job from Washington's most powerful Democrat.
Schlossberg remains an object of fascination from his often strange social media posts, drawing scathing criticism from his mother Caroline's sister-in-law Cheryl Hines earlier this week.
Jack is the 32 year old-son of Caroline and Edwin Schlossberg. Hines' husband RFK Jr is the son of Robert 'Bobby' Kennedy, who was President John F. Kennedy's brother.

Bob Menendez advised Egyptian officials how to cover up their part in the grisly murder of Saudi Arabian dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
This was an egregious human rights abuse and the biggest betrayal to the values he was elected to uphold as a US senator.
The disgraced former New Jersey Democrat — now serving an 11-year sentence for corruption and conspiracy to act as a foreign agent for Egypt and Qatar — had coached his high-level Egyptian contacts how to respond to a grilling about Khashoggi’s assassination in a Saudi embassy before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in June 2021, court records show.
