By Brooklynn Robinson Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met virtually Monday with members of the Senate and asked them to press the Trump administration over what he described as limits on intelligence sharing and weapons deliveries. The closed-door call was led by Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut. The meeting included other members of both the House and Senate, Axios reported. Zelenskyy told the lawmakers that Starlink and the U.S. military’s Starshield systems remain partially restricted, that Ukraine has gone without early warnings of Russian ballistic missile attacks on three occasions in the past week, and that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has not signed off on Patriot interceptors and AIM-9X missiles already paid for by NATO countries. “All of this suggests that some political decision has been made to slow down support for us,” he said, according to a transcript Ukrainian officials provided t...

By Thomas Stevenson The subpoenas came after Krasner and his top staffer were referred to the DOJ.  The Department of Justice has issued  jury subpoenas to Democratic Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner 's office, according to a report from Fox News .  Sources that spoke to the outlet said that the subpoenas are related to potential obstruction of justice in relation to the handling of cases going before federal judges.

By Rusty Weiss The Justice Department announced Monday that it has opened a federal investigation into conditions at District of Columbia jails to determine whether the city’s Department of Corrections has engaged in a pattern of constitutional violations against inmates. The investigation, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s Civil Rights Division, is looking at conditions dating back to the start of 2021 and comes after repeated allegations of excessive force, poor medical care, filthy living conditions, and inadequate food. That time period is significant, ranging back to the most consequential date in American — if not human — history. At least according to Democrats. As many as 50 people convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest were held in these facilities, where some defendants previously described the environment as inhumane. DOJ probes DC jails where dozens convicted in J6 where held, over ...

By Victor Davis Hanson The midterms are a fundamental choice over America’s economic future, national identity, immigration, energy, and Western civilization. There are two ways of looking at the midterms, now less than three weeks away. One is as a simple referendum on the issues and politicians of the day. The other involves a far deeper conflict of visions (as Thomas Sowell puts it): socialism versus capitalism, intrusive versus limited government, and the destruction of time-honored institutions and traditions versus their preservation and renewal. Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. The new Islamist-allied socialist Democratic Party is confident, largely because the party holding the White House h...

“An ally that takes your money to push you into wars you shouldn’t be fighting is not an ally,” he argued. By ARIELLA ROITMAN Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed doubled down on his anti-Israel rhetoric on Monday, claiming that Israel is not the US’s friend in an interview with ABC News. “An ally that takes your money to push you into wars you shouldn’t be fighting is not an ally,” he answered after being asked if he considered Israel to be an American ally. El-Sayed compared Israel to a friend who “keeps bumming off [your kids’ money] and then talks about them behind their back and gets them into fights with their other friends.” 'Time to realize Israel is actually not our friend,' El-Sayed says “What would you tell your kid?” he asked the reporter. “You’d probably tell them, ‘Maybe that’s not actually your friend.’” “I think it’s time for us to realize that Israel is actually not our friend,” he concluded. Abdul El-Sayed, winne...

By Bob Hoge Leftists will often tell you that you’re cruel and unfeeling for opposing unfettered illegal immigration, all the while ignoring the human misery and rampant sex trafficking that were the norm under former President Joe Biden’s “Let Them All In” policies at the southern border. The journey north is incredibly dangerous; you’re not only facing long treks through dangerous terrain, where would-be migrants regularly get lost in the deserts and jungles and die of dehydration, or perish in overheated trucks once they get through, but illegal travelers are also subject to the cruelties of the “coyotes,” the human smugglers who are often members of the notoriously violent drug cartels. The human cost is real and off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico, located in the country’s Baja California peninsula, around a two-hour drive south of San Diego, 11 people presumed to be Mexican nationals are missing after a suspected smuggling boat capsized on Friday . Sixteen other survivors wer...

By Joel Pollak I asked Katie Zacharia how she is doing. It’s been rough, she says, but she’s holding her head high. A week ago, she was preparing to face the press for the first time in the White House Briefing Room . Today, she’s back in California. President Donald Trump walks alongside then-White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, Oct. 13, in Washington. AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta Her critics mocked her. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office shared a meme: “In Memoriam: Tuesday-Friday.” Classy. Zacharia endured more in one week than most political pundits experience over their entire careers.  Set aside what you think you know about her, and take a moment to appreciate the strength it takes to pick yourself up after being elevated, then crushed, on the national stage. Without really making a mistake at all. I have known Katie for at least a year or so. We have appeared together several times on “Fox News at Night” with Trace Gallagher.  She also ...

By Stella Morabito Democrats are developing cheating strategies to render conservative voters irrelevant in rural and smaller-town America. A newly disclosed report from a far-left-funded D.C. think tank discloses a leftist blueprint for dropping foreign migrants on especially rural and small American towns. In immigration work funded by leftist billionaire George Soros, the Niskanen Center proposes expanding migrant pipelines with state- and town-run visa sponsoring to displace “native labor supply.” Following the patterns of states such as California, Illinois, and New York, of course such a program would increase Democrat voting rates, this time in traditionally Republican locales. This is one way Democrats hope to erase the will of rural voters in future elections. Democrats usually cannot win fair elections in rural and small-town America. That’s why they’ve increasingly relied on blatant...
