The article mentioned Parubiy's role in 2023 demonstrations almost as an afterthought.

Low utility middlemen in the Trump administration are feeling left out again, and so they’re back to anonymously moaning to the news media. This time they’re ragging on White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and his peacemaking efforts with Russia and Ukraine. Politico on Friday quoted several unnamed “U.S. and foreign officials and other people” in a piece critical of Witkoff. None of them are worth repeating, as is usually the case with anything anonymous, but the most telling part of the article, by the unfortunately named Felicia Schwartz, came 16 paragraphs in.

President Donald Trump announced that he intends to issue an executive order that would include strict voter ID requirements and restrictions on mail-in ballots.

Motive Of Trans Shooter Who Killed Christians

When a highly disturbed, outwardly demonic, Christian-hating man who considers himself a woman allegedly shoots up a Catholic Mass where children are praying — and writes a manifesto telling us why — The New York Times claims that the “motive is a mystery.” It is no secret that the corporate media despises Christians, adores the grooming of children into believing they are transgender, and will do anything to maintain that worldview. Tragically, the dregs at places like The New York Times and CNN are covering up the clear motive behind the massacre at Annunciation Catholic School on Wednesday.

Barack Obama didn’t like Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama didn’t even care about Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign. Barack Obama would have liked nothing more than to watch Hillary Clinton go down in a ball of flames, until something happened in 2016 that changed the dynamic. Suddenly, Barack Obama needed Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 election… That my friends, is the reason why so many people get lost in the story of the 2016 election and the eventual Trump-Russia conspiracy. However, once you understand what changed in those April and May 2016 moments, everything reconciles. The U.S. government, under the President Obama administration, was spying on American citizens.

I had not been paying close attention to the overarching issues of President Trump removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook for cause – fraudulent filings on her three mortgage applications.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday said she would ask the United States to share the $15 billion it expects to extract from convicted Mexican drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada with her country's poor. Sinaloa drug cartel co-founder Zambada pleaded guilty in a New York court on Monday to murder and drug trafficking, particularly of fentanyl — a powerful narcotic responsible for tens of thousands of US overdose deaths annually.

The winds of change could soon blow on Iran, according to a new report. The Islamic Republic is facing collapse, indicates the report, issued by UK-based Henry Jackson Society this week, as the UN accuses Tehran of executing nearly 900 people already this year “as a tool of intimidation.” If the Islamic Republic falls, “there is a danger that regime collapse could lead to a vacuum of governance that is accompanied by civil war,” according to the findings. “This is an outcome that must be avoided at all costs for the Iranian people, and every step must therefore be made to ensure that any transition is quick and painless,” it added.

Pope Leo XIV on Sunday called for an end to the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of a shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States. History’s first U.S. pope spoke in English as he denounced the attack and the “logic of weapons” fueling wars around the world, during his Sunday noon blessing from his studio overlooking St. Peter’s Square. “Our prayers for the victims of the tragic shooting during a school Mass in the American state of Minnesota,” said the Chicago-born Leo. “We hold in our prayers the countless children killed and injured every day around the world.

We’ve written about many of the problems Britain is experiencing—and the terrible choices their government has made over the years—because it’s a cautionary tale. Many of the policies that have led to its decline, like unfettered immigration from populations that despise the United Kingdom's values, insane censorship, a national health service with endless wait times for an appointment, and a refusal to listen to its residents' desires, are exactly the kind of “utopian” dictates that leftists have been trying to impose on this country for years.A new poll from YouGov reveals exactly how Britons feel about the state of their kingdom, and the numbers are truly ugly:
Chicago Mayor Signs Order to Shield Criminal
Illegal Aliens, Undermine Federal Immigration Enforcement

Chicago's far-left leadership just made its priorities crystal clear—criminal illegal aliens first, federal law second. Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) has signed an executive order aimed at blocking federal immigration authorities from doing their jobs in the city, even as Chicago grapples with out-of-control crime, an illegal immigration crisis, and mounting public frustration. The order openly declares that city police will not assist federal agents in arresting or removing illegal immigrants, even those with criminal records. Instead, the city’s law department has been instructed to use “any and every legal mechanism” to target the federal government for trying to enforce immigration laws.

By now we are getting used to lower courts misappropriating their roles, acting as if they occupied that of the chief executive. As these cases reach the Supreme Court, they are being overturned, but not without a cost to the president’s agenda or to the respect to which we’d normally accord the judiciary. The notion of a judicial coup is not far off, and people like Elon Musk suggest it’s time for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against the worst offenders.

SOMERVILLE, Tenn. — Investigators released new information Friday after exhuming the body of Pauline Mullins Pusser nearly six decades after she was buried. Pauline was the wife of Sheriff Buford Pusser, a Tennessee legend known for carrying a stick as he cracked down on crime. Mark Davidson, District Attorney for the 25th Judicial District, said the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has “produced evidence sufficient to create probable cause.” That means that “more likely than not,” if Buford Pusser were alive today, an indictment could be presented to the McNairy County Grand Jury for their consideration against him for the murder of his wife. More than likely, Davidson explained,

A federal judge has ordered an emergency halt to a plan by the Trump administration to send more than 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children back to their home country — some within a matter of hours — after immigrant advocacy groups sued, calling the unannounced plan illegal. U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan issued the order just after 4 a.m. Sunday, finding that the “exigent circumstances” described in the lawsuit warranted immediate action “to maintain the status quo until a hearing can be set.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is taking a defiant stance against President Donald Trump’s promise to deploy the National Guard to the nation's third-largest city. Johnson on Aug. 30 signed an executive order he said lays out "how we can stand up against this tyranny." Chicago police will not help the National Guard with immigration enforcement or related activities such as conducting traffic stops and manning checkpoints, according to the order. "This is about making a very clear distinction between what our law enforcement engages in versus what federal agents engage in," Johnson said at a news conference. "This president is

This week, the dominoes began to fall at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Back in September 2023, the floundering Biden administration tapped Daskalakis—a self-proclaimed “trusted voice for the LGBTQ community”—to lead the White House’s national monkeypox response as Deputy Coordinator. Fast-forward to Wednesday, and Daskalakis bolted from his role as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC. His exit came mere hours after CDC Director Susan Monarez was unceremoniously ousted, and on the very day RFK Jr. announced sweeping reforms to dismantle the vaccine mandates that crippled our economy and freedoms.
