I will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team this week to discuss Starshield, sanctions, and other matters pertaining to the defense of our strong ally, Ukraine. I will be assuring President Zelenskyy that anyone who attempts to limit the use of Starshield for Ukraine will be fully investigated and will be held fully accountable, to include public congressional oversight hearings, and immediate harsh and punitive budget cuts to any responsible agency or agency head. Congress will unequivocally reaffirm that Ukraine is an indispensable ally to the United States, that Russia is a self-declared enemy of the United States, and that the United States will 100% support and defend the people of Ukraine in their fight for their own freedom against this brutal, illegal, and unprovoked Russian invasion. The United States must provide any and all defensive equipment that Ukraine needs to defend itself. The United States must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Sanctions against the Russian regime must be harsher and stronger than they’ve ever been before. Each and every one of these items will be brought to the House Floor—and each and every one of these items will pass on the House Floor by an overwhelming margin. This is, after all, what Ronald Reagan would do. And this is what we will do now. Ukraine can, and will, defeat Russia. #PeaceThroughStrength

Trump's new strategy to hand a nation of 35,000,000 to Putin in exchange for Trump family enrichment - aiding the massacre of women and children in Ukraine. This the new America - a piece of shit and a complicit @gop congress.

Klartext von unserem Innenminister! Die anhaltenden Ausschreitungen in Frankreich sind ein bewaffneter Kampf gegen die freiheitliche Gesellschaft und unseren Lebensstil. Plünderungen, verletzte Einsatz- und Sicherheitskräfte, Zerstörung von öffentlichen Institutionen und Kirchen. Die Randale wird hierzulande von Linken-Politikern sogar noch bejubelt. Innenminister Dobrindt machte deutlich: „Wer Straßen in Schlachtfelder verwandelt, Polizisten angreift und Rathäuser anzündet, demonstriert nicht für bessere Bildung, sondern führt einen bewaffneten Kampf gegen die freiheitliche Gesellschaft und unseren Lebensstil.“

🇮🇱🇺🇦🇷🇺 BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: “Ukraine carried out a strike on a Yandex facility in Russia. Sixty percent of the online activity originating from Russian entities operating against us has disappeared.” So, will Israel now return the favor to Ukraine, or will Benjamin Netanyahu once again pin a symbol of Russian collaborationism and alliance with the Nazis to the lapel of his jacket? That's how I see it.

And now I’m going to tell you f̶r̶o̶m̶ w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ d̶i̶r̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ a̶t̶t̶a̶c̶k̶ o̶n̶ B̶e̶l̶a̶r̶u̶s̶ w̶a̶s̶ b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ p̶r̶e̶p̶a̶r̶e̶d̶ what’s actually going to happen instead of all this hysterical white noise desperately trying to drown out the inevitable: The Orange Man is going to lose the elections with a deafening crash, and spend the rest of his time in office, along with his entire administration, desperately fending off a third impeachment, countless investigations, and criminal prosecutions for all his wild antics. And all this pompous posturing will finally come to an end. As for Putin, he can play Stalin all he wants, fantasize endlessly about carving up the world into three spheres of influence at some imaginary new “Yalta,” and unleash as many hordes of bots on social media as he likes. But when, at the end of the fifth year of your glorious blitzkrieg against Ukraine, you’re still banging your head against Mala Tokmachka, suffering your second defeat at Lyman, while Ukraine is bombing Moscow and St. Petersburg, and when you’re 1.5% of the global economy, all these fantasies can only impress a handful of useful idiots from Elon Musk’s freak show. And the man sitting next to him at this imaginary Yalta is, to put it mildly, no Roosevelt. He’s a semi-coherent, half-con artist from trashy reality TV who has failed spectacularly in Iran and has no idea how to get away with that. As for the Chinese emperor, it’s not even clear why he would want to take part in this lunatic circus in the first place, let alone share power with these people.

“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

"We are getting really close to the moment when the sitting US president will willingly enable the biggest humanitarian catastrophe in Europe since WWII. Seriously, how do his supporters reconcile that with going to church every Sunday, or looking in the mirror in the morning?"

At this point, anyone that still believes the Trump family isn't selling every scrap of US intelligence to the Russians is a moron.

BIG | 🇺🇦🇺🇸‼️ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the U.S. government was behind the decision to impose speed restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services, while Elon Musk’s SpaceX implemented the limitations technically. Asked by a journalist who was responsible for the disruptions and whether they were deliberate, Zelensky responded: “It was a signal from the American government regarding the speed restrictions, and technically, SpaceX carried it out.” When asked whether Starlink had been fully restored and what the current status of the system was, the Ukrainian president gave a direct answer: “No, we still have restrictions.” 🔥 Zelensky’s statement directly attributes responsibility for the restrictions to the U.S. government, rather than treating them as an independent technical decision by SpaceX. The distinction matters because Ukrainian military operations rely heavily on satellite connectivity, including for drone missions and frontline communications. His confirmation that restrictions remain in place raises further questions about their operational consequences and Washington’s approach to Ukraine’s access to critical communications technology.

🇫🇷 French President Macron: We all feel angry tonight. We feel shame as well, seeing the disasters that unfolded in our streets. Those people who looted need to pay for their crimes. Those people who attacked government buildings need to pay for their crimes. We should never mix up peaceful protesters with looters and rioters, because there are people who rightfully feel that fuel prices are going too high. It's because of the Iran war. Let me be clear to all of the looters: We will come down with a firm hand. There is no impunity.

HOW MUSK BECAME… MUSK Elon Musk is not simply a billionaire, an entrepreneur, or a technological visionary. He is a man whose enormous wealth, influence, and power have become inseparable from his ego. His world revolves around one person: Elon Musk. Born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1971, Musk grew up as an isolated child who considered many of his classmates intellectually inferior. He later moved to Canada and then the United States, studying physics and economics before entering the rapidly expanding world of Silicon Valley. His success was a combination of ambition, intelligence, relentless activity, and extraordinary luck. In 1995, he and his brother founded Zip2, which was sold just a few years later for hundreds of millions of dollars. Musk then entered online banking, eventually becoming associated with PayPal. But money was never enough. Musk wanted something greater: fame, influence, and control. He understood that modern power depends not only on wealth but also on communication. His companies expanded into electric vehicles, space exploration, satellite networks, and artificial intelligence. In 2021, he became the world's richest person. Today, Musk is far more than a businessman. Through SpaceX and Starlink, he controls infrastructure on which governments, military organizations, businesses, and millions of ordinary people depend. His companies receive billions in government contracts, including from the Pentagon. And therein lies the danger. When one individual possesses enormous technological power without sufficient accountability, his personal decisions can affect entire countries. What happens when that individual begins treating the world as his private playground? Musk's public behavior has repeatedly demonstrated his appetite for confrontation, provocation, and controversy. His purchase of Twitter gave him something even more valuable than money: direct influence over global political discourse. It is hardly surprising that Musk and Donald Trump found common ground. Both thrive on attention, personal loyalty, public confrontation, and the conviction that ordinary rules should not apply to them. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Musk openly challenged restrictions and pushed to reopen Tesla facilities despite concerns about employee safety. His willingness to put business interests ahead of other considerations became another source of controversy. The fundamental question is not whether Musk is intelligent or whether his companies have achieved remarkable things. They unquestionably have. The question is whether technological achievement excuses moral irresponsibility. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein warned humanity about the dangers of creation without responsibility. Today, society increasingly reverses that warning: “Perhaps the man is a monster, but look at what he has created!” That is precisely the problem. And after everything we have witnessed, Musk's behavior in the Starlink controversy should surprise absolutely no one.

Berlin bekommt Milliarden aus dem Länderfinanzausgleich und hat selbst noch nie eingezahlt. Wenn dort jetzt eine neue Koalition teure Experimente plant, dürfen nicht wieder alle anderen dafür zahlen. Deshalb muss der Länderfinanzausgleich geändert werden.

There are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work.... "You have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another." The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others. C.S.

Operation Vivaldi has completed its four seasons. Ukrainian Defenders have liberated another 101 km² of Ukrainian land. The 3rd Army Corps and attached units have freed three more settlements - Zelena Dolyna, Lypove, and Kolodiazi. During the fourth stage of "Vivaldi," Russia lost nearly 3,000 soldiers. Throughout the entire operation, Ukrainian Warriors have restored full Ukrainian control over 16 settlements and liberated 277 km². Russian losses stand at over 8,000 personnel. Glory!
