Crime without accountability is practice. Justice is not vengeance. When the Soviet Union collapsed, we let euphoria blind us to the need for the hard work of investigation and responsibility. Do not forgive, do not forget, and clean house.

Well then, let’s go… 😂😂😂
Feel free to post your favorite memes about Trump’s defeat in the comments here.

In mid 2025, I was told by Eastern European business people Donald Jr. went around telling them "Let's do deals fast, as we have time into November 2026".
In other words, the outcome was predictable to them when it wasn't to most. Makes you wonder why.

This is how you create leverage to end the war, not with lifting sanctions

Russia is targeting supermarkets across Europe.
These groups are pro-Russian and have documented ties to—and receive support from—the Kremlin.
In December 2025, U.S. authorities (including the DOJ and CISA) publicly stated that:
CARR (also linked to "Z-Pentest") was established, funded, and directed by the GRU (Russian military intelligence).
NoName057(16) is a state-sanctioned project developed and operated—in terms of infrastructure, tool development, and target selection—by individuals including staff from the CISM (Center for the Study and Network Monitoring of the Youth Environment, established by a 2018 presidential decree from Putin).
According to assessments, Z-Pentest emerged due to dissatisfaction among CARR/NoName members regarding the level of support provided by the GRU, and it now operates, in part, independently.
Article 5?
A proven state connection would classify the incident as a Russian hybrid attack, justifying political or economic countermeasures.
However, an Article 5 response is extremely unlikely given the current scale of damage and impact; the threshold is intentionally set very high and is a matter of political decision-making.

Find me a single Australian who wants to ban British backpackers.
We want more Brits and less jihadists and machete gangsters.
🚨🇦🇺 NEW: Andy Burnham and Anthony Albanese are set to discuss increasing restrictions on British backpackers using Working Holiday Visas in Australia
Proposals include removing an exemption that means Brits don’t have to do rural work to extend their visa as well as the introduction of a migration cap

What genuinely astonishes me to the depths of my soul is the audacity and cynicism with which this blatant, undisguised corrupt collusion with the Kremlin is dressed up as an effort to “improve relations with Russia” and “end the war,” as if nobody can see or understand what is happening.

Should be evidence for any congressional inquiries into what happened with Starshield. If Musk is throttling a Pentagon-run defense network, which was commissioned to work in a partner nation as a matter of U.S. policy, because of his own political bias or desire to sway the midterms he’s heavily invested in (see his subsequent tweet), then he represents a national security risk. I’d argue he represents that anyway.

To put it bluntly: According to the latest "peace plan" from street-huckster Wittkop and the Kremlin...
🇺🇦 Ukraine must:
• Withdraw its troops from the Donetsk region
• Abandon plans to join NATO
🇪🇺 Europe must:
• Resume the purchase of Russian energy resources
• Admit Ukraine into the EU
🇷🇺 Russia must:
• Do nothing
🇺🇸 The USA must:
• Do nothing
In exchange, Ukraine is expected to relinquish the territories occupied by Russia, receiving in return security guarantees described as being "similar to NATO’s Article 5." Given the current conduct of the US administration, however, many no longer even have faith in Article 5 itself—let alone in "similar" guarantees.
In short: This is not a peace plan; it is a word that begins with "capit" and ends with "ulation."
And it represents a capitulation not only for Ukraine but also for Europe—which, under this plan, Trump intends to bring completely to its knees before the USA and Russia.

If the guy who tried to murder Helen Haines had been a One Nation supporter we would be hearing calls right now to arrest Pauline Hanson and ban One Nation.
But instead he was a leftist so it’s “mental health” and “social media algorithms.”

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

"A town got hit or whatever."
Anhelina, a one-year-old, was killed in her stroller by a Russian Shahed yesterday in Kharkiv. Her mother, Inna Mariukhna, was also killed.

- Russia has a massive logistics problem in Donbas, as Ukrainian drones are destroying its vehicles.
- The Kremlin informs the White House about this problem.
- Musk, Trump, and Hegseth throttle Starlink in Ukraine, hampering Ukrainian drone strikes.
- Trump and his pals are promised lucrative business deals with Russia.
- Thousands of Ukrainians die, while Russia threatens to seize even more territory.
I've never witnessed such a betrayal in my life.
russia has run into serious problems with its offensive in Donbas, where its forces have become bogged down.
One of the main reasons was that russian logistics had been crippled by Ukrainian drone strikes. This campaign depended heavily on Starlink terminals operating on high-speed Ukrainian drones.
russian military command identified this as a critical problem and approached the American side, asking it to restrict the speeds at which Starlink terminals could operate.
The argument was simple: there would be little public backlash because the US could still claim that Starlink was operational and that the service was still being provided.
The Trump administration agreed to the restrictions, effectively solving a critical battlefield problem for Russia.
As a result, russian logistics in Donbas are now safer, and Ukraine has lost an important advantage on the battlefield.

BREAKING: Here's the metadata for the dirt sheet Albanese shopped around against Australian MP Helen Haines in the weeks leading up to the far-left terror attack on her life.
Metadata says it was written in Word on an Australian Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) system by the account "Lloyd, Joshua".
Joshua Lloyd is Deputy Director of Communications to the Prime Minister of Australia.
Great to know Josh spent 2 hours working on the document. Great use of my taxpayer money you bunch of fucking clowns. Thanks for toning down the temperature and uplifting the civility of our national body politic @AlboMP

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop.
Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Too clever by half. He correctly notes that Ukraine cannot give up its fortress belt because that'd give the Russians a "straight shot into Kyiv." Yet he insists the war is just about 11% of territory. No, the lie is in his explanation: Putin wants the 11% at the negotiating table because he cannot take it on the battlefield; and he wants it because it gives him another opportunity to make a play for Kyiv at a later date. The Russians don't want to end the war, they want the U.S. to create the more amenable conditions for the continuation of the war in future. The tragedy of Rubio is that he's in better command of the facts than anyone else in this administration but he nonetheless ends up acting a mouthpiece for policies he knows are wrong.
