Following what Volodymyr Zelensky called “productive” telephone calls with Donald Trump, the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents will be meeting in Washington on Friday.

Since meeting Trump in Alaska, Vladimir Putin has made a mockery of the president’s attempts to broker a peace deal.

If National Review supports it I am against it. I have stood at the graves of too many Marines who paid the price for NR’s wars.

Fairly irrational test from one poster. Personally, I think for myself. Russia started this war and is continuing its invasion. Any and all methods to harm Russian interests should be done, short of US troops in combat. I have always favored giving Ukraine lots of effective weapons. Tomahawks would be good.

Good yardstick. #1. As far as the U.S. giving Ukraine anything, no. Just no.

Seems that any more support for Ukraine, as it attempts to repel the Russian invaders, is a no no for most posters here. Does that neutrality also apply to Israel. Just wondering.

Interestingly, Trump has come to understand that the Russian disinformation is a lie, but many others can't let it go an support arming the victim of this invasion. Of course, the ...but.but...US troops! Non argument will get spilled again and again. Ukraine has never asked for, we have not and should not ever offer, US troops.

Ukraine being the weaker of two thugs doesn't alleviate its essence - a thug. No aid to either side, and sanctions on both sides.

During his campaign to secure the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, Joe Biden infamously told the leftist co-hosts of ABC’s The View that, “from the beginning,” he believed Anita Hill’s unsubstantiated allegations of sexual harassment against now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. “Not only didn’t I vote for Clarence Thomas, I believed [Hill] from the beginning. I was against Clarence Thomas, I did everything in my power to defeat Clarence Thomas and he won by the smallest margin anyone ever won going on the Supreme Court,” Biden said in the 2019 interview.

Senate Democrats voted Thursday to block the annual, full-year Defense appropriations bill, despite the measure passing out of committee with strong bipartisan support earlier this year. The vote is the latest sign of deteriorating bipartisan relations on Capitol Hill as the government shutdown drags into a third week. The Senate voted 50-44 against proceeding to the bill after Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) objected to considering the Defense spending bill without also voting on the annual Labor, Health and Human Services appropriations bill. It needed 60 votes to advance.

President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Hamas “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza. The grim warning from Trump came after he previously downplayed the internal violence in the territory since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week in the two-year war. Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas. “It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily,

Sixty percent of young liberals say it is “acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest in response to immigration raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),” according to a survey by Cygnal. 42 percent of liberals said it was acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest even if that meant breaking the law,” said a press statement from Virginia-based Cygnal, which added: “The number jumps to 60 percent of liberals under the age of 30.

It’s early days but there are signs that Trump Derangement Syndrome is on the way out. And the Middle East peace deal Donald Trump pulled off with sheer force of personality is part of the reason. In a whirlwind 36 hours, the president addressed the Knesset in Jerusalem to hail a “new dawn in the Middle East,” and then flew to Sharm el-Sheikh to sign the Gaza peace deal, flanked by the leaders of Egypt, Turkey and ­Qatar, who had helped forced Hamas’ hand. European leaders took a back seat and meekly kowtowed to Trump.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (Iowa) praised the Trump administration for overhauling the National Human Trafficking Hotline after a whistleblower came forward to him about the previous contractor’s mismanagement.National Review first reported on whistleblower disclosures to Grassley in May alleging Polaris Project, the contractor running the human trafficking hotline, failed to report complaints to law enforcement. The whistleblower disclosed to Grassley specific instances where Polaris’s system led to situations where credible tips were not reported to law enforcement. Empower Oversight, the legal group representing the whistleblower, told Grassley that the person made disclosures internally and to government offices including the HHS inspector general.

The Nobel Peace Prize is dead—and it died of cowardice. They gave Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for hope. Donald Trump earned a ten for results—and got no prize. That single fact reveals more about the moral and institutional decay of Western leadership than any lecture about democracy ever could. It wasn’t just a snub. It was a confession—a quiet admission that the Nobel Peace Prize, once a lodestar of moral clarity, has become a mirror of elite insecurities, incapable of recognizing peace when it comes from someone they didn’t script, sanctify, or control.

If politics is downstream from culture, and it is, we have a lot to worry about. This is frankly because American culture has long been rotting like a 10-day-old avocado in the sun. A good example, appearing in my X notifications yesterday, is a video of a white girl sporting corn-woven hair and speaking “Ebonics” while giving a cop a hard time. “Why is she talking like that?” asks the original poster of the 54-second clip (below).X users reacting to the video were unsparing, with no small number attributing her behavior to low I.Q. And one seemingly incredulous respondent asked, “Seriously, how does a white person become like this?

I would say, "Pity the poor Democrats," but they have spent far too many years being awful to warrant any consideration for whatever feelings their cold, leftist hearts might have. At the moment, the Dems are in political exile in Washington, D.C. Not by much, but it's exile nonetheless. As we have discussed many times, they aren't making much of a case to the American people to be brought out of it. Who knows? Maybe their "raining f-bombs on the Republicans" strategy will pan out. I remain skeptical about that. They're also struggling with the government shutdown.

In the swiftly degenerating world of western relationships one factor above all others can be identified as the culprit: Feminism. The driving force behind third-wave feminism is not the pursuit of equal rights it's the pursuit of power. Like any communist movement, unilateral power over society is the end goal. When power is the goal, such movements naturally attract narcissistic people. How can the nuclear family function when the female half of the equation is conditioned to become self serving, ego-maniacal, conflict oriented, status obsessed, victim obsessed and desperate for control? One particular trend has feminists enraged is "nose ring theory"

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is meeting in London to vote on new rules to cut “greenhouse gases” by imposing a first-ever global tax on shipping emissions. The meeting of the U.N. agency ends Friday and is expected to finalize a “Net-Zero Framework (NZF)” where commercial ships would pay for emissions over a set limit as defined by the IMO, while vessels that meet tougher standards could trade or bank so-called “surplus units.” The Trump administration unequivocally rejects the proposal and has threatened to retaliate if nations support it, setting the stage for a fight over the climate deal.

Former Rep.

When the staffer issued her correction regarding a policy detail, Porter responded, “Okay. You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot.” The unearthed footage came just days after a video went viral that showed Porter threatening to exit an interview with a California CBS News affiliate.

With the arrests and federal indictments of two California men announced on Thursday, we're now getting an idea of how California's billions of dollars to "end homelessness" vanished without a trace. Instead of helping to solve the problem of rampant tent encampments filled with addicts on the beaches and streets in California, things got worse. Where did all that money go? An audit in 2024 revealed that no one knew how the homeless money was spent. I wrote about this in "No Wonder Gavin Newsom Didn't Want an Audit to Track $24 Billion in Homeless Spending."

And yet, according to recent polls, 43% of New York Jews are supporting him, including 67% of Jewish voters between the ages of 18 and 44.
