The White House recently launched a “Media Bias” webpage designed to expose “fake news,” but the site initially contained factual errors. The page was briefly taken down and altered after incorrectly attributing questions to a Fox News reporter. Currently, the site lists 31 “fake news offenses” from 21 publications, and the White House has come under fire for inaccurate claims against outlets such as The Daily Beast. This new initiative is part of the administration’s ongoing anti-media campaign, which includes restrictions on journalists and legal challenges against news organizations.

President Trump’s decision to ban flights over Mar-a-Lago has created discord among his Florida neighbors. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made the flight ban permanent, which rerouted major flight paths away from the president’s residence. Instead, planes now fly over Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, exclusive areas experiencing an increase in air traffic. This shift in flight patterns has led to complaints from residents who now bear the brunt of the noise and activity.

Putin’s signing of a decree formalizing the Russification of occupied Ukraine through 2036 is essentially Putin saying the quiet part out loud. This isn’t about protecting Russian speakers or rectifying historical injustices; it’s a meticulously planned decade-long effort to systematically dismantle Ukrainian identity in the regions Russia controls.
This decree flagrantly violates international laws governing occupation. It encompasses forced passportization, forced mobilization, language bans, and population transfers, all hallmarks of a deliberate campaign to erase a culture and its people. For anyone suggesting a “freeze the conflict” approach or negotiations, this decree reveals Russia’s true intentions: to solidify its grip on Ukrainian territory and assimilate it into the Russian Federation.… Continue reading
House committee seeks ‘full accounting’ of boat strike after WaPo ‘kill everybody’ report, and it’s about time someone demanded it. The revelation that a House committee is launching a probe into the boat strike, following the Washington Post’s report that included the chilling phrase “kill everybody,” is frankly, a bit astonishing. Considering the nature of the allegations – potential violations of the Geneva Conventions and a blatant disregard for human life – a “full accounting” should have been demanded the moment the first report surfaced. It’s almost unbelievable that this only gained traction after the press dropped the bombshell, as if they were hoping the incident would simply fade away.… Continue reading
On November 27, Russia deployed Tu-22M3 long-range bombers armed with Kh-32 supersonic cruise missiles over the Baltic Sea, accompanied by fighter jets. The five-hour flight in international airspace was monitored by foreign military aircraft, including Swedish Air Force QRA fighters who intercepted and identified the Russian bombers. The bombers originated from Olenya air base, recently reactivated for long-range aviation, and the mission rehearsed a maritime strike profile targeting NATO assets. This exercise, along with a separate Arctic Ocean patrol by a Tu-160 bomber, is considered part of routine long-range aviation training, but is seen by NATO as strategic signaling.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot asserts that Vladimir Putin must agree to a ceasefire to avoid new sanctions, citing significant Russian losses on the battlefield and the targeting of civilian infrastructure. Barrot suggests Putin should seriously consider a new US peace plan, which is being revised to be more favorable to Ukraine after an initial version favored Russia. This plan, expected to be finalized during a meeting between Presidents Zelenskyy and Trump, is currently under negotiation with a Ukrainian delegation traveling to the US for further talks alongside a visit from Trump’s envoy to Moscow.

Initially criticized by President Trump, the CHIPS Act, designed to boost domestic chip production with a $52 billion fund, faced scrutiny for its early grant distribution to existing projects. Despite Intel’s struggles in fulfilling its commitments, Trump’s administration decided to partially nationalize the company using remaining CHIPS funds, purchasing a stake and effectively bailing out the struggling chipmaker. This deal, while boosting Intel’s stock price, shifted financial risks onto taxpayers by removing the company’s obligations and accountability, ultimately proving that America was investing in companies, rather than the other way around.

Senators Roger Wicker and Jack Reed have announced they will conduct rigorous oversight of Caribbean strikes following reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the military to “kill everybody” on suspected drug vessels.

The operation, aimed at stopping drug trafficking and eliminating “narco-terrorists,” has drawn criticism and calls for transparency, including demands from lawmakers for the release of unedited strike recordings.
