Ukraine Reportedly Working Frantically To Disrupt Putin and Trump Summit

Let’s start with a very interesting post from Joe Tuzara’s Substack. I don’t know if this is true because I have not found any other media source reporting on it, and there are some problems with the details reported. Here is the claim:

White Hats on Sunday killed a Ukrainian assassin in Wasilla, Alaska, five days before President Trump is scheduled to meet with Vladimir Putin at a currently undisclosed venue in The Last Frontier.

At approximately 10:00 p.m., soldiers from the 10th Special Force...

Virginia School Officials Allegedly Procured Free, Secret Abortions for Students

A Virginia school district has opened an independent investigation into charges that officials at one of its high schools secretly procured all-expenses-paid abortions for minor students.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) claims it opened its investigation last week as soon as it learned of the allegations, yet there is indisputable evidence that the district was aware of the charges months ago.

Minor Offense

According to investigative journalist Walter Curt, who broke the story last Tuesday,...

The Human World & the Misuse of Science

In 1687, Isaac Newton published his monumental book, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, often shortened to Principia, in which he presented the foundation for classical mechanics and universal gravitation. The book dazzled natural philosophers all over Europe and the British American colonies, and was a milestone in the so-called “Scientific Revolution” of observing and analyzing the natural world.

Shortly thereafter, natural philosophers began to contemplate the possibility that Newto...

India Defied US Pressure To Dump Russia for These Five Reasons

The common denominator is India’s rivalry with China.

Trump recently made a show of doubling his 25% tariffs on India as punishment for its continued purchase of Russian energy and military-technical equipment. Influenced by Lindsey Graham, he expected that India would dump Russia after the costs of doing business with it spiked, the Kremlin would thus lose this important foreign revenue flow, and then Putin would make concessions to Ukraine in exchange for lifting these secondary sanctions in t...

Why Don’t I Like Him?

I started to feel guilty, in reacting on social media to New York City Democratic nominee Zohran Kwame Mamdani: to this immediate legacy-media darling, this Uganda-born, collectivization-advocating, smugly smiling, beautifully beard-groomed Bowdoin graduate, whose expensive, cleverly packaged Mayoral race launched him into our collective consciousness a few months ago, out of thin air. I try never to be personal, in my political assessments, and I feel guilty because my reaction to Mamdani is so...

Israel’s Biggest US Donor Now Owns CBS

After reaching an agreement with President Trump, David Ellison—the son of the second-richest man in the world, Larry Ellison—has acquired Paramount Global, the media giant that owns CBS News.

Larry Ellison, the largest private funder of the Israel Defense Forces, is deeply tied to the Israeli national security state and counts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among his closest friends.

David has already announced significant changes at CBS, promising “unbiased” news coverage and “varied ideolo...

The U.S. Empire’s Total Censoring-Out of the Basic Truths

The forced expulsions of students at Harvard, Columbia, and other universities who had organized student demonstrations against Israel’s ongoing genocide to eliminate Gazans, and the U.S. Government’s penalizing of (such as withdrawal of research contracts with) those universities for having allowed those demonstrations to take place, are well known examples of the totalitarian thought-control by the U.S. regime. But less well known is the U.S. regime’s enforcement of this censorship upon its va...

Women Deacons? Here’s Why Not

Who can be an icon of Christ? The question haunts me. Documents of the Second Vatican Council teach that all good people who are part of the Church…all these good people relying on the exquisite promise of Christ’s resurrection are the Body of Christ. It would stand to reason, then that ‘all good people’ means precisely that. ‘All good people’ means all good men and…women. 

Yet the Catholic Church has excised half its members from the fold. Cut free are all women. How? Women cannot be ordained t...

Conservatives Versus Libertarians on Education and Healthcare

With his education and healthcare policies, President Trump is highlighting a major divide between conservatives and libertarians on both education and healthcare.

As everyone knows, Trump is doing his best to induce universities to abandon leftist concepts involving what is known as DEI — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. He is doing this by threatening a cut-off of federal funds to such universities until they comply with his wishes, at which point he will restore the funding.

Trump’s strategy...

How Billionaires Who Sell to the U.S. Government Control the U.S. Government

They do it because these billionaires, who control the firms that sell to the U.S. Government (and not — or very little — to consumers), need to control the U.S. Government, in order to control their market. A billionaire wants to control his/her market; and if one’s market is one’s Government (and its allies), then this is the way to do that — by controlling one’s own Government. And there is, by now, massive — and it’s entirely consistent — evidence that America’s billionaires DO control the U...
