KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian forces staged one of their biggest drone attacks on Russia since Moscow´s invasion more than four years ago, firing almost 800 drones just two days after launching a similar salvo, officials said Tuesday. Meanwhile, a Russian missile strike on a village in Ukraine´s northeastern Kharkiv region killed at least 10 people and wounded eight others as the barrage demolished homes, officials said Tuesday. The warring countries are locked in an escalating duel of long-range aerial strikes. Fighting on the roughly 1,250-kilometer (780-mile) front line in eastern and southern Ukraine is restricted by large numbers of…
China’s state-run Global Times on Tuesday boasted of “soaring demand” for the “Ice Silk Road” trade route China has established through the Arctic — and castigated Western media for expressing “sour grapes” concerns about the environment, Chinese territorial aggression, and weaponized supply chains. The Global Times was rather quick to declare the Ice Silk Road a roaring success, since it only just began regular service from China’s eastern city of Ningbo to ports in the U.K., Netherlands, Germany, and Poland, running by way of Russia’s Northern Sea Route through the Arctic. Chinese shipping company Sea Legend only announced regular service…
Monday on MS NOW’s “On the Line,” former CIA Director John Brennan said one day there will be “law courses that are going to be looking at the corruption” of President Donald Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche. Brennan said, “You know, the legal profession has to take a look at itself. I’m sure that in years, in the future, there’s going to be law courses that are going to be looking at the corruption under, you know, Trump and Blanche years. It’s one thing for lawyers, criminal lawyers, to be able to defend unsavory characters and do everything possible because they’re…

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) responded to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s lawsuit with fire. Earlier Tuesday, Keith Ellison announced his office filed a lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott to force the extradition of an ICE agent involved in a shooting earlier this year. As previously reported, an ICE agent charged in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan migrant was arrested in Texas in May. Earlier this year, Soros-funded prosecutor Mary Moriarty charged an ICE agent with the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan migrant she claimed was legally in the United States. Moriarty charged the agent, identified as Christian Castro, with four counts of…

Bessent Saw the Capital Investment Boom Coming a Year Ago Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spent much of last year predicting that the Trump administration’s policies would set off a boom in capital spending. The boom would begin with artificial intelligence and a handful of enormous factory projects, spread across the industrial economy, and eventually produce jobs. The latest manufacturing data look remarkably like the economy Bessent described. The Federal Reserve reported Tuesday that production of business equipment rose 0.8 percent in July and 6.6 percent from a year earlier. It grew at a 12.7 percent annual rate in the second…
Monday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said President Donald Trump’s odd relationships with dictators endanger the United States national security. Cooper asked, “What message do you think it sends U.S. allies that the president reduced the military exercises with South Korea based on, he says his, quote very good relationship with Kim Jong-un?” Kelly said, “Well, Kim Jong-un is certainly getting what he wanted. He doesn’t like the U.S. military on the Korean Peninsula.” He continued, “The Russians are also transferring military technology to the North Koreans. So, not only on our side, we will become…
House Oversight Chair James Comer on Tuesday wrote a blistering letter to the lawyers of Leon Black threatening to hold the billionaire Apollo Global Management founder in contempt of Congress. The threat comes after Black, who paid the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein tens of millions of dollars, refused to answer the panel’s questions about possible nondisclosure agreements he had signed with women tied to Epstein. Black has since produced one NDA after being subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee. Comer, in his Tuesday letter, said that was insufficient and demanded more of the documents while floating the contempt vote…
