Zelensky Wants Western Troops Providing Security to End War in Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that he’s open to the potential deployment of Western troops in Ukraine to guarantee the country´s security as part of a broad effort to end the almost three-year war with Russia.

The deployment would be a step toward Ukraine joining NATO, Zelenskyy said in a post on his Telegram channel.

“But before that, we must have a clear understanding of when Ukraine will be in the European Union and when Ukraine will be in NATO,” Zelenskyy said.

His proposals tread a delicate diplomatic path amid international efforts to find a way of ending Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II at a time when Russia has gained an upper hand in the fighting.

Watch Joe and Jill Biden Snub Kamala as They Enter Kennedy Center

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Joe and Jill Biden not only refused to acknowledge Kamala Harris as they entered the Kennedy Center to a standing ovation, they refused to even look at her or her husband, Doug “The Nanny Buster” Emhoff.

This video is really something:

Kamala and her husband stand, turn, heartily applaud, and then look directly at Joe and Jill waiting for a smile, a wave, maybe even a pat on the shoulder. Instead, President and Mrs. Lame Duck make an obvious point to avoid eye contact and look the other way. Jill hilariously does a 90-degree turn so quickly you’d think Kamala had leprosy.

There is just no question Jill intended for the world to see that epic snub.

Here’s the List of People a Research Group Wants Pete Hegseth to Fire

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A group of military leaders has made waves by releasing a list of individuals they believe should be fired if Pete Hegseth gets confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense.

The American Accountability Foundation (AAF), composed of current and former military personnel, sent a letter to Hegseth arguing that these people are part of the entrenched bureaucracy within the Pentagon that has undermined military readiness and American values.

Hegseth has been a staunch critic of the military’s management for several years. The group believes this is an opportunity to purge what it views as a woke establishment that has compromised the integrity of the nation’s military.

Tom Jones, a former aide to Republican senators who now leads the AAF, said that the current leadership prioritizes diversity and social norms and does not focus enough on the military’s readiness and policies, such as national security. He said those on the list are “pretty egregious” advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

He praised Hegseth for being vocal about being “pretty clear that [DEI] has no place in the military.” (Read more from “Here’s the List of People a Research Group Wants Pete Hegseth to Fire” HERE)

Survey: Homeschool And Christian School Graduates Far More Likely To Keep Their Faith

/1 Comment/in , /by

Americans who spent at least three high school years homeschooling or attending a Protestant Christian school are much more likely than public school graduates to express Christian beliefs and attend church as adults, finds a recently released survey. Those surveyed who spent at least three years in a Roman Catholic high school are about as likely to attend church and read the Bible as Americans who attended public schools.

“Consistent with previous administrations of [this survey], faith formation is the domain in which the strongest evidence for sector-level effects can be observed, with a clear benefit to respondents who graduated from Protestant schools or were homeschooled,” says the Cardus Education Survey report released Dec. 4. “These graduates are much more likely to report believing in God and life after death, as well as engaging in religious practices.”

Christians are far bigger charitable givers, community volunteers, and supporters of constitutional rights than their secular counterparts. Christians are also more likely to have children at population-sustaining rates. All this makes their prevalence in American society a key national interest.

The U.S. birthrate is at its lowest ever, 1.6 children per woman. This creates demand for foreign migration and hammers the national budget — especially defense spending — by accelerating the already occurring bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare.

No other nation dropping off a population cliff has been able to reverse it by subsidizing parenthood, finds a November Heritage Foundation report. “The decline in fertility rates in the United States is driven largely by a decline in religiosity,” it shows. America’s decline in religiosity, in turn, is virtually entirely driven by government subsidies for secular education, the Heritage report says, as it erodes children’s faith and therefore their contributions to national economic security via forming stable families.

How Team Trump plans to ‘Make America Wealthy Again’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Team Trump released a video Monday obtained exclusively by Blaze News highlighting President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees, who the Trump team says will “Make America Wealthy Again.”

Trump’s nominees include Kevin Hassett for director of the National Economic Council, Howard Lutnick for secretary of commerce, and Scott Bessent for secretary of the treasury. Team Trump told Blaze News that the nominees will work in the administration to prioritize American workers and industry jobs as well as “permanently establish” Trump’s tax cuts and eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security.

“The American people gave President Trump a mandate to Make America Wealthy Again by restoring our economy to be even better than his first term,” Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for the Trump-Vance transition team, told Blaze News.

“From Howard Lutnick and Scott Bessent’s experience as transformative leaders on Wall Street to Kevin Hassett’s proven policy record from President Trump’s first term, these nominees are ready to invest in the American people,” Leavitt continued. “Together, they form a team of economic experts dedicated to fighting for working families and Making America Wealthy Again.”

Lutnick has been a “transformative leader” on Wall Street for the last 40 years. Lutnick began his career in 1983 at Cantor Fitzgerald, quickly ascending to president and CEO by the impressive age of 29. A pivotal moment in Lutnick’s career was in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks that claimed the lives of hundreds of his employees, including his brother and his best friend. As a tribute, Lutnick committed himself to rebuilding the firm to support the families of those whose lives were lost and to “provide a source of hope and strength for survivors.” (Read more from “How Team Trump plans to ‘Make America Wealthy Again'” HERE)

Daniel Penny Found Not Guilty in NYC Subway Chokehold Case

/1 Comment/in , /by

A New York City jury on Monday found Marine veteran Daniel Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car in 2023.

CBS News reports Penny, 26, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.

The judge dismissed the second-degree manslaughter charge against Penny on Friday after jurors said they could not come to a unanimous decision.

Penny’s lawyers said he was protecting himself and other subway passengers from a volatile, mentally ill man who was making alarming remarks and gestures. The defense also disputed a city medical examiner’s finding that the chokehold killed Neely.

Prosecutors said Penny reacted far too forcefully to someone he perceived as a peril, not a person. (Read more from “Daniel Penny Found Not Guilty in NYC Subway Chokehold Case” HERE)

‘Defund the Police’ Activist Goes Viral After Begging for Help When Everything She Owned Was Stolen in San Francisco

/1 Comment/in , , /by

When thieves made off with Darcie Bell’s rented U-Haul truck, the San Francisco woman put out a call for help on X: “If you see a 26 foot uhaul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it.”

The post went viral, but not for the reason she hoped for. Bell spent years posting left-wing “defund the police” views — and users across the site blasted and mocked the activist.

“Anti Police activist begs the police to help,” jeered the X account Bay State of Mind, which comments on San Francisco Bay Area politics.

Tom Wolf, an addiction recovery advocate who has nearly 30,000 followers, posted a screenshot of a previous post in which Bell blasts the San Francisco Police, alongside a screenshot of her recent plea. . .

Mere hours after she filed a police report, she blasted the police for not immediately locating her stolen possessions.

“I haven’t found my s—! The cops didn’t do s—! U-Haul made me file a f—ing police report!” she told The Post. (Read more from “‘Defund the Police’ Activist Goes Viral After Begging for Help When Everything She Owned Was Stolen in San Francisco” HERE)

Trump Reaffirms ‘Strong’ Support For Pete Hegseth’s Defense Secretary Nomination

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for Pete Hegseth’s nomination to become the next secretary of defense on Friday, putting any GOP senator seeking to tank the Army veteran’s confirmation on notice.

“Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He was a great student -Princeton/Harvard educated – with a Military state of mind. He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense … one who leads with charisma and skill. Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!”

Within the past few days, Hegseth has come under a barrage of unsubstantiated allegations of wrongdoing during his time working at Fox News and spearheading veteran-related nonprofit organizations. Numerous former colleagues and associates have come out strongly disputing the accusations from anonymous individuals.

Dozens of military veterans have signed onto a letter backing Hegseth’s nomination in light of the media’s smear campaign, according to Fox News.

A woman also previously accused Hegseth of sexual assault following a purported 2017 sexual encounter between the two. Prosecutors declined to press charges due to a lack of “proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” according to reports.

Biden-Harris Admin Freed Illegal Alien Wanted For Child Rape Into United States

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Homeland Security freed an illegal alien who was wanted of child rape in his home country into the United States.

The illegal alien, a 25-year-old Ecuadorean national named Adrian Patricio Huerta-Nivelo, crossed the border into the United States on June 4th, 2021 before being apprehended by Border Patrol.

Huerta-Nivelo was given a notice to appear in front of an immigration judge before being released into the interior of the United States. Just days after his release, however, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) discovered that the illegal alien was wanted in Ecuador in connection to the rape of a child.

ICE arrested Huerta-Nivelo days after he was released into the United States on June 12th, 2021 in Boston, Massachusetts. The federal law enforcement agency held the illegal alien in their custody until an immigration judge ordered him to be deported from the country. He was then returned to Ecuador and handed over to law enforcement agents in his home country. (Read more from “Biden-Harris Admin Freed Illegal Alien Wanted For Child Rape Into United States” HERE)

An FBI Agent Refused To Go Along With The Biden Admin’s Anti-‘Extremism’ Agenda — It Cost Him His Career

/2 Comments/in , /by

When Zach Schoffstall, a former supervisory senior resident agent in the FBI’s Salt Lake City Division, heard his bosses wanted to focus more on “domestic terrorism” and “hate crimes,” he tried to work with them. He brought the U.S. Attorney in Idaho two hate crime cases.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) declined to prosecute both. Instead, Schoffstall told the Daily Caller, the Attorney for the District of Idaho, Josh Hurwit, said he was more interested in appeasing the Biden administration by hosting seminars to talk about hate crimes. Later on, when the FBI pushed Schoffstall to execute a search warrant against a “domestic extremist” group protesting LGBTQ activists, he refused. It eventually cost him his career.

“I had been told I brought embarrassment to the bureau because of all the pressure that DOJ placed on the bureau to get that warrant,” Schoffstall told the Caller.

In June of 2022, 31 Patriot Front members were arrested and charged with conspiracy to riot after they were found carrying poles and shields in a U-Haul at a Coeur d’Alene “Pride in the Park” event. Schoffstall said the group is known to protest BLM, LGBTQ, and anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) events.

Pride in the Park generated outrage after it was revealed that Idaho’s Satanic Temple chapter and sexualized drag queens would be present at the “family-friendly” event. Christian pastors, however, were removed for allegedly trespassing. The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office said that month that it was investigating whether a performer’s genitals were potentially exposed, according to the Idaho Dispatch.
