US Senator Rand Paul has accused President Donald Trump of staying silent on a major corruption scandal involving a close associate of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky.Last week, Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies alleged that Timur Mindich, Zelensky’s former longtime business partner, led a scheme that siphoned $100 million in kickbacks from contracts with the country’s nuclear power operator Energoatom, which depends on foreign aid. Two government ministers have since resigned, while Mindich fled the country to evade arrest.“Remember when the Ukraine first Uniparty opposed my call for an Investigator General for Ukraine? Trump silent on $100M Ukraine corruption scandal resignations,” Paul wrote…

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz praised rap superstar Nicki Minaj for using her platform to “spotlight” the persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. Waltz responded to a post on X from Eric Cortellessa — a senior political correspondent with TIME, in which Cortellessa revealed that Waltz and Minaj would “deliver remarks early this week on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.” In response to Cortellessa’s post, Waltz described Minaj as “not only arguably the greatest female recording artist,” but a “principled individual who refuses to remain silent” when injustices are occurring. “I’m grateful she’s leveraging her…

All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT” discussing economic issues. The U-turn came after months of drama inside…

The US workforce saw a brief bump in hiring this October, coupled with a steep rise in firings. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will likely not publish job data again this year due to the government shutdown. The Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge of the US workforce is unavailable, but what we do have is independent data from the ADP and Challenger, Gray & Christmas.On one side, the private sector scored its first notable month of hirings since July 2025. The ADP estimates that employers brought on 42,000 new employees last month, exceeding expectations. Mega corporations led in new hires for…

The bloc is scrambling to find finance for Ukraine, which faces a $50 billion budget deficit next year Belgian clearinghouse Euroclear could sue the EU if the bloc tries to confiscate the Russian sovereign funds held there, CEO Valerie Urbain told Le Monde in an interview published on Saturday.The depository, which carries roughly $46 trillion in securities for global financial institutions in any given year, currently holds around $200 billion of the $300 billion in Russian Central Bank assets frozen in the West after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.Anything resembling confiscation would be illegal, and Euroclear is…

President Donald Trump issued a new round of attacks against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Truth Social on Friday, November 14, continuing the public feud that has widened over Massie’s voting behavior, recent positions on foreign policy, and Trump’s decision to back retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District. Trump wrote: Did Thomas Massie, sometimes referred to as Rand Paul Jr., because of the fact that he always votes against the Republican Party, get married already??? Boy, that was quick! No wonder the Polls have him at less than an 8% chance of winning the Election. Anyway,…

By Timofey Bordachev, Program Director of the Valdai ClubWashington has proven an uncomfortable truth: a nation that sows chaos abroad eventually reaps it at home. For decades, the United States perfected the art of controlled disorder: destabilizing rivals while preserving its own internal calm. That illusion is now collapsing.The recent election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York, a 34-year-old left-wing activist and Muslim who defied every prediction, is more than a local upset. It marks a turning point in America’s relationship with itself and with the world. It shows that the same spirit of upheaval Washington once exported…
