On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” POLITICO Senior Political Columnist Jonathan Martin argued that California’s gubernatorial election would be “very competitive” if it was about the state’s performance and direction, but “all Becerra is going to say is Trump, Trump, Trump, and that’s all the ads are going to be.” Martin said, “If this was not a, I think, big Democratic year based upon Trump backlash, that race would be a lot more interesting for governor. If it was about state issues and the performance of this state and the direction of the state and you had a better,…
Germany’s top brass is proclaiming its readiness to “fight tonight,” seemingly eager to rush toward total annihilation Remember Taurusgate? When several German officers, including its former air force head, were caught making insane and childish plans for plastering Russia with German missiles but from Ukraine? That and the amateurish manner in which these grand strategists in prankster mode let themselves be caught were daft as well as sadly comical. But lessons have not been learned, even if the German Air Force is now under new management.Recently, its new commander-in-chief gave a combative and intriguingly ill-considered, even jejune interview. Speaking to…

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) stated that California has “messed up housing in this state. We have too much regulation, zoning where we don’t build. We’ve made it very, very hard to build, and that’s been a failure.” Khanna said, “[W]e’ve done certain things right. We have excellent higher education. The U.C.’s, the California states. And it’s led to, of course, a lot of innovation, $20 trillion in my district, right?” He added, “But we’ve messed up housing in this state. We have too much regulation, zoning where we don’t build. We’ve made it…
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that California, as the laboratory of progressivism, is a state where “We constantly take more money from the people and get less results.” Maher began by saying that California is a “progressive laboratory,” and “That means it’s doing experiments. We do need to call them out when they fail. Hasn’t it a lot? And I can go through the stats in Fareed’s column, and I’ve read them everywhere for years now. It’s not good. We constantly take more money from the people and get less results. Is that not…

WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Polish President Karol Nawrocki said Friday he will strip Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Poland’s highest state honor over the Ukraine leader’s decision to name a military unit after a Ukrainian paramilitary organization accused of massacring Poles during World War II. Zelenskyy was awarded the Order of the White Eagle in 2023 by Poland’s then President Andrzej Duda for his services to security, resilience and the defence of human rights. But it will now be revoked after Zelenskyy issued a decree on May 26 naming a military unit of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces after the UPA – the…

While speaking to host Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday, Leganski said the Speaker’s election in which McCarthy participated in 2023 was the “first multi-ballot Speaker’s election in a century,” as well as being the “longest Speaker’s election that the U.S. House had seen since the Civil…
