O'BRIEN: Trump believed Ukraine had no cards, that he could bully Ukrainians into giving Putin very good deal.

He didn't understand that Ukraine was developing their own capabilities and their willingness to fight.

So, Trump failed for two reasons. First, Ukrainians adapted, and that wasn't expected by him.

You can see there have been some changes in his rhetoric lately, where he has to grudgingly admit that Ukraine has actually done better.

The United States completely underestimated Ukrainian resilience.

Secondly, Trump thought Europeans would bully Ukraine along with him because they would be afraid of United States leaving NATO.

He thought he could use NATO to push Europeans to force Ukraine to take a bad deal. Europeans eventually helped Ukraine more than he thought.

They seem to understand that it's actually better for them to have Ukraine fight the war the way Ukraine wants.

Trump didn't understand what Ukraine was capable of and he misjudged what Europeans would do.

In 1966, Barry Goldwater told William F. Buckley Jr. that his greatest fear as a conservative was a president who would use the powers of the office to destroy everyone who disagreed with him.

Absolute bombshell. Former Assistant Secretary of Defense exposes how Pete Hegseth removed human oversight from AI targeting systems leading directly to the bombing of a girls school. He calls Hegseth a war criminal operating with the morality of Genghis Khan.

We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon.

What a time to be alive.

The reason we gotta spend $4 million per Patriot missile to shoot down a silly $20,000 Shahed drone is because Donald Trump refused to give Ukraine the Tomahawks necessary to take out the Shahed factories in Russia

Long COVID brain fog is real — and now, we know what’s causing it.
A breakthrough brain scan reveals the science behind the symptoms.
Scientists in Japan have identified a biological cause behind the cognitive “brain fog” experienced by many Long COVID patients—a breakthrough that could lead to reliable diagnosis and treatment.
A team at Yokohama City University used a cutting-edge brain imaging method to detect abnormal increases in AMPA receptors (AMPARs), molecules essential for learning and memory, in people suffering from Long COVID. These elevated receptor levels, observed using [11C]K-2 PET imaging, were closely linked to the severity of cognitive symptoms and inflammation markers, offering the first clear molecular explanation for the condition.
The findings, published in Brain Communications, show that AMPAR density not only tracks with brain fog severity but also enables near-perfect distinction between affected and healthy individuals—100% sensitivity and 91% specificity. This offers promise for both diagnostic tools and treatments, such as drugs that suppress AMPAR activity. With brain fog affecting over 80% of Long COVID sufferers globally, this research marks a significant step toward validating the condition and accelerating efforts to address it with targeted therapies.

President Zelensky to 60 Minutes:

“I believe, sadly, Russian narratives are prevailing in the U.S. How is it possible to witness our losses and our suffering, to understand what the Russians are doing, and to still believe that they are not the aggressors, that they did not start this war?…It seems to me that the Vice President is somehow justifying Putin's actions…”

Sound up please. Meet Maj Gen Jeannie Leavitt. She was the FIRST EVERY female fighter pilot.

The women beating unqualified Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has ordered the removal of every image of Maj Gen Leavitt removed from the Pentagon.

Can someone tell me how this spiteful misogynistic act helps in the defense of America? It simply makes America look small out of touch and frankly absurd. Let’s compare their military records shall we?

Pete Hegseth military service was unremarkable he served as an infantry officer in the Army National Guard. He deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. His military awards include two Bronze Stars and two Army Commendation Medals

His final act of dishonor, beyond the assault of his partner, was to be forced to stand down from Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America—in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.

I didn’t have enough space to provide Maj Gen Leavitt’s achievements, so here’s a link.

Friends, let’s send a message to this piece of shit excuse for a man, by making this image go viral today, so Maj Gen Leavitt gets the message, she’s a hero to all of us.
