Ukraine also is reeling from relentless aerial attacks that have smashed its power grid ahead of winter and heavily damaged homes as Russia´s invasion stretches into its fifth year. The Kremlin’s exact intentions…

The prospect of Lake Ontario being renamed “Lake America” was flagged Tuesday morning by President Donald Trump as the U.S. cross-border trade war with Canada rolls on. Trump used Truth Social to flag the possible change in nomenclature: “The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don’t expect to doing much business with Ontario any longer,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” The proposal harkens back to the Republican president’s action last year by executive order to rename the Gulf…
Monday on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI), the Republican Wisconsin gubernatorial nominee, said his opponent Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley was much like now-former Democratic Socialists of America Democratic hopeful Francesca Hong. According to Tiffany, like Hong, Crowley had “capitulated” to socialists, which he said was a failed ideology. “Why do you think that Francesca Hong, who was this dark horse DSA candidate came so close to clinching on the Democratic side?” Fox Business News’ Cheryl Casone said. “It kind of came down to it seems her comments about, you know, canceling Thanksgiving, a simple thing that…
In a rare interview, conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas hit back at leftists who believe black people can’t be conservative. Clarence Thomas sat down for an interview with Senator Ted Cruz on the “Verdict with Ted Cruz” podcast. Justice Thomas slammed the idea that black people cannot be conservative. “We had this saying [that there are] only two things I have to do: stay Black and die,” Justice Thomas told Ted Cruz. “That was a retort to people who had these sort of requirements for us, these these mandates for us because of our skin color,” he said. “But…

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies must be put back in place, Democrat Senate candidate and Democratic Socialists of America member Angie Nixon said, asserting that Republicans like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) have attacked “woke” because they are scared of minorities being in power. Nixon, who denies being a socialist despite her standing as a DSA member, is an advocate for several key far-left polices, including abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), granting swift amnesty, pushing universal health care, and brining back DEI policies. “You definitely just have to work to level the playing field, and you gotta get…
