Ukraine can win back all of its territory

President Donald Trump said Tuesday afternoon that he thinks Ukraine, with help from the European Union, could win back its territory from Russia and return the country to its original borders.
The president had suggested numerous times that giving up some land would be a key component of resolving Ukraine's war with Russia.
"After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form," Trump said in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
The United Nations is “funding an assault on Western countries,” President Donald Trump said to the U.N. annual convention on Tuesday.
In his address, the president accused weak western nations of destroying their own countries through mass migration with the U.N. playing a central role.
“The number one political issue of our time [is] the crisis of uncontrolled migration,” he exclaimed. “Your countries are being ruined,” he added. “The United Nations is funding an assault on western countries and their borders.
This is what happens when things don't go the way a self-absorbed narcissist thought they would. On the reading of his guilty verdicts, after the jury deliberated for about as long as it takes to eat a sandwich, would-be Donald Trump assassin tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen. Fox News's Danamarie McNicholl had this to say in the above video:
John, I just have a lot of breaking news in terms of the sequence of what happened right after the verdict was read. Now it is quite shocking, right after the verdict was read, it appeared to our producers inside the courtroom
WASHINGTON — Google announced Tuesday it was going to reinstate YouTube accounts banned for posting then-controversial content related to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a letter its attorneys sent to a House panel.
Users, including FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, White House counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka and “War Room” podcast host Steve Bannon, had all been permanently removed from the site in recent years.
Those channels once flagged for “repeated violations of COVID-19” and “elections integrity” policies adhered to by Google will now be “no longer in effect,” according to a letter reviewed by The Post from Alphabet’s chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee.
The Supreme Court Steps Up

We have been following the cases that address the president’s control over the executive branch under Article II of the Constitution. By statute, Congress has tried to limit the president’s powers, most notably by establishing “independent” agencies that are not fully under the president’s control. The constitutionality of such agencies has always been doubtful, but in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, 295 U. S. 602 (1935), the Court upheld the law that said the president can remove a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission only for cause.
Just as the United Nations was preparing to begin its annual general assembly, which will be headlined by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, the United States Secret Service discovered a "massive hidden telecom network" in New York, with startling implications.
According to reports, the now-dismantled system included over 300 servers and 100,000 fake SIM cards that could have been used to overwhelm the 911 network and disable large portions of the city's cell tower network. The dismantled system consisted of over 300 SIM servers and more than 100,000 SIM cards spread within a 35-mile radius of the United Nations headquarters. Investigators say the network could have blacked out
Sinclair Refuses to Air Kimmel

Disney: Welcome back, Jimmy Kimmel!
Sinclair: Not so fast ...
The return of Jimmy Kimmel will not be a universal experience, it appears. Not long after Disney announced that they would restart his Jimmy Kimmel Live! tomorrow night, one of ABC's largest affiliate groups balked. Sinclair Broadcasting announced that they would run news programming in that slot instead: Can they do that? CBS brought on a media expert who claimed that pre-empting the show could cause a breach of contract for their network affiliation. Left unspoken, though, is who that would harm the most -- the network, or the affiliates?
President Trump signed an executive order Monday designating the shadowy, left-wing group Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization,” according to the White House.
The order comes after Trump teased slapping a terror label on the radical “anti-fascist” group last week.
“I hereby designate Antifa as a ‘domestic terrorist organization,’” read the president’s order. “All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations – especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa provided material support,
As time continues to pass following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, the left is doing everything it can to obfuscate the motive of the killer. The reason for that is obvious. Tyler Robinson's ideology was not ambiguous. It was not a confusing hodgepodge of random conspiratorial positions. Why he pulled the trigger is not some grand mystery.
Robinson, who is now facing capital murder charges, is a left-winger with a furry fetish and a trans-identifying boyfriend. He thought Kirk was a "fascist" who spread "hate" and thus was irredeemable. It was a political killing carried out by a person who believed he had a license to shoot
Sinclair Broadcast Group abruptly cancelled plans to air a Charlie Kirk tribute last week after the company’s local ABC affiliates received multiple violent threats — forcing the firm to move the program to YouTube just minutes before it was scheduled to begin, The Post has learned.
The Baltimore-based local TV giant, which owns more than 40 ABC affiliates, yanked the Charlie Kirk tribute late Friday after it was alerted to “local threats directed at specific local ABC stations resulting from [the] ABC suspension” of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, a source close to the situation told The Post.
The Supreme Court cleared the way for Donald Trump to fire the sole Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission, raising doubt about a long-standing precedent that has limited the president’s power over independent agencies.
In its ruling, the high court set the question of whether Trump could fire the commissioners for oral arguments in December, and whether a 1935 decision, Humphrey’s Executor vs. United States, should be overruled. The court also granted a stay that will allow Trump to dismiss the commissioner in the meantime.
For months, Democrats and their allies in the media have been clinging to the idea that Donald Trump’s underwater approval ratings would somehow guarantee them a triumphant showing in the upcoming midterms. But on Monday, CNN’s own numbers-cruncher threw cold water on that narrative, reminding viewers that Trump’s poll numbers don’t magically translate into Democratic victories.
CNN anchor Kate Bolduan asked Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten what the data really shows about where things stand politically.
And boy, Enten didn’t sugarcoat things at all for the Democrats.

Death Penalty for Kirk Assassin? Bad Idea
38 replies
I am not opposed to using the death penalty for specific heinous crimes. Certainly, it was warranted for Timothy McVeigh, and Charlie Kirk’s killing was indeed heinous. However, the alleged assassin is Tyler Robinson and that gives me pause, because there are thousands of Tylers out there ready to make him a martyr.
This hate-filled, deluded, brainwashed community has been groomed deliberately by a Machiavellian academia since the 1960s.
There was a time when public education institutions were staffed with unbiased professors and educated their students with genuine facts and encouraged independent thought. That was back then.
Jimmy Kimmel’s Show to Return to Air: Disney
33 replies
Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show is returning to the air this week, Walt Disney Company said on Sept. 22.
“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the company said in a statement to news outlets. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”
A Disney spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment.

Swedish professional protester Greta Thunberg has been unceremoniously dumped from a leadership board role in a Gaza-bound, anti-Israel “aid” flotilla as infighting and tensions roil the group.
The Jerusalem Post reports Thunberg, who joined a previous run at the Israeli naval blockade around Gaza in June, appeared on the Global Sumud Flotilla’s website as part of its leadership committee.
At least, that was until last Sunday. Now that posting has been removed.
Before setting sail earlier this month, Thunberg said: “This project is part of a global uprising of people standing up…
Jimmy Kimmel is getting back on the air. The ABC late-night host is returning to broadcast on Tuesday following a brief-but-monumental suspension that sparked a national debate over the Trump Administration’s pressure tactics and the modern limits and consequences of free speech. “Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” ABC parent The Walt Disney Company said in a statement Monday.

AOC Becomes De Facto House Minority Leader
21 replies
Before last Friday’s House vote on a symbolic resolution condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk and all forms of political violence while honoring his life, the purported leaders of the Democratic Caucus informed its members that they would support the measure. Yet, in a truly vile floor speech prior to the vote, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) called the resolution “reckless” and claimed Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.” In the end, less than half of the Democrats voted for the resolution. The rest stood with AOC.

Keith Olbermann appeared to threaten the life of Scott Jennings in an extreme way, telling him he's next to be killed and the FBI is now involved.
In a move that most would call insane following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk less than two weeks ago, Olbermann is ready to do anything but turn down the violent rhetoric, telling the Townhall.com host he's next to die.Olbermann's original post, before he deleted it, appeared to be a direct threat to the CNN contributor and Townhall.com host.
It can be seen below in the screenshot. Warning: it contains profanity.
"You're next, mother ……" Olbermann wrote in a reply to Jennings.

for Jerry Nadler’s House seat and experts
say he has ‘a shot’ 18 replies
The grandson of John F. Kennedy is mulling a run for Congress in Manhattan, and he may have “a shot” at winning the Democratic primary next year, according to political observers.
Jack Schlossberg, 32, is best known for his online trolling of various prominent people and unhinged social media posts.
He has impersonated First Lady Melania Trump and frequently rails against his cousin, Robert Kennedy Jr, the Secretary of Health and Human Services. At one point he imitated RFK Jr.’s spasmodic dysphonia, which sometimes makes it difficult for him to speak.
He is said to be eyeing Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler’s seat on the Upper West Side
France and Saudi Arabia hope to use this year’s gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly and the increasingly horrific war in the Gaza Strip to inject new urgency into the quest for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Those efforts include a new road map for eventual Palestinian statehood in territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war, and moves by several Western countries to join a global majority in recognizing such a state before it has been established.
Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday, joining nearly 150 countries that have already done so,
