Taking on the bad guys

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, I signed a decree establishing a new special day – the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces. From now on, it will be observed every year on June 11. A day of our respect and gratitude to the USF.

For the first time in the world, such a branch of the military was created – in Ukraine. We are developing the USF to the max, and it is Ukrainians who have proved that through technology, ingenuity, and courage, we can change the nature of warfare. We can achieve objectives that were previously either completely out of reach of conventional weapons or extremely difficult to achieve and required an enormous expenditure of resources.

In just one year since the establishment of the USF Grouping, Russian targets of various levels worth nearly $40 billion have been struck. Most importantly, these are different types of strikes, and each one expands our ability to save lives.

The Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are truly a model for many other militaries.

Российский солдат признаёт, что его подразделение изнасиловало девочек в возрасте 10 и 11 лет в Украине + заставило матерей смотреть — сразу перед тем, как казнить всех троих по приказу его командира

Он признаётся, что это происходило несколько раз, поскольку они находили гражданских, прячущихся в подвалах. Русня такиеже чудовища как Хамас..

Friends of mine have been working their balls off building a dog grooming business. They’ve invested their savings into fitting out three shops and employing staff. They’ve just been told their business rates have doubled to £10K per shop. They’re now thinking about cutting their losses and shutting them down. I’ve never seen a more anti small business government.

Look how fast they took Trump’s face off the screen after the crowd erupts in boos.

🚨 HUMILIATION AT THE WORLD CUP: SENEGAL STARS TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS BY US BORDER THUGS

Senegal 🇸🇳 national team arrives in the US for #WorldCup2026 — and what do they get?

US authorities pulling them off the plane for aggressive bag searches, invasive checks, and public degradation right on the tarmac. Top African football giants disrespected like suspects.

This is not "security." This is racist arrogance from the host nation that lectures the world on fairness while treating African players like second-class humans.

Same America blocking referees, humiliating teams, and showing its true face to the Global South.

Senegal, Africa is with you. CAF and FIFA — speak up or remain useless puppets.

The World Cup belongs to the world, not to US ego and discrimination.

Expose this disgrace. Share widely.

Can't be absolutely certain but it very much looks like Tommy Robinson is in the Shalyapin Bar of the Hotel Metropol in Moscow with Errol Musk.

Crowd at Bryant Park watch party also booed President Trump.

@DawnsMission He had no answers so became verbally abusive. This is a regular occurrence with him.

Trump lässt 900 Tiefseesensoren aus dem Atlantik und Pazifik herausziehen – ein 370-Millionen-Dollar-Netzwerk das seit 2016 läuft.
Es sollte 30 Jahre laufen. Es wird nach 10 Jahren gestoppt. Was diese Sensoren messen: Meerestemperaturen. Strömungen. Salzgehalt. CO₂-Aufnahme. El-Niño-Früherkennung. AMOC – den Atlantischen Umwälzstrom der Europas Wetter reguliert. Ozeanograph Ed Dever: „Es ist ein lähmender Informationsverlust."

Project 2025 hatte das Netzwerk explizit als Quelle von „Klimaalarmismus" bezeichnet und seine Abschaltung gefordert.
Der Kongress hatte die Finanzierung zweimal gerettet.
Die NSF zog es trotzdem durch. Die Folgen werden Jahrzehnte dauern. Daten die wir nie mehr bekommen werden. 1/2

In a deliberate act of ecocide, 3yrs ago today russia destroyed the Kakhovka dam, murdering people, causing a minimum of $14 billion in damage, flooding villages and towns, devastating ecosystems, and killing animals.

We must not allow russia to whitewash itself.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

💔 His only "crime" was being Ukrainian. He was just standing there, waiting for a bus.

We don’t hate russia enough.

because trump’s name appears more in the epstein files than Harry Potter’s name appears in the seven books about Harry Potter.

[Prez @PrezLives2022]

So Ivanka claims she came across this island swimming in the Mediterranean and she came ashore barefoot to explore the islands😂😂

Here is the problem with this: First, the island is in the Adriatic Sea. Secondly, the Albanians say the island is full of snakes making her barefoot story implausible. Lastly, in the words of Steve Schmidt, the island is full of landmines thus making her extremely lucky or a liar. I’m going with liar.

Trump ließ den Ostflügel des Weißen Hauses abreißen – für einen privaten 400-Millionen-Dollar-Ballsaal von Unternehmensspendern finanziert. Jetzt wissen wir was sie dafür bekommen haben. 14 von 27 bekannten Unternehmensspendern erhielten in den sechs Monaten danach neue oder erweiterte Regierungsaufträge – zusammen über 50 Milliarden Dollar. Lockheed Martin allein: 43,8 Milliarden Dollar. Palantir: über eine Milliarde. 16 der 27 Spender standen unter Bundesermittlungen – bei den meisten wurden diese Ermittlungen danach ausgesetzt. Senator Crow wörtlich: „Unternehmen schrieben große Schecks für Trumps goldenen Ballsaal. Jetzt kassieren sie Milliarden in Kickbacks – bezahlt von euren Steuergeldern." Es gibt dafür kein anderes ehrliches Wort als Korruption. 🇺🇸🇪🇺

If Satan has a residence on Earth, it is in Russia: the story of former Kherson mayor Volodymyr Mykolayenko, who survived Russian captivity.

After seeing Russia from the inside, he described it as a moral void, completely incompatible with Ukraine.

In captivity, he survived purely through willpower—holding on by sheer determination. When he finally returned home on August 24, 2025, it felt as though he had grown wings.

What struck him most was the way Ukrainians welcomed the released prisoners. From the Belarusian border all the way to Chernihiv, crowds stood along the roads waving Ukrainian flags. For the first time in a long while, he felt genuine respect and love.

Mykolayenko neither hid nor fled, even though he had the opportunity. He joined the Territorial Defense Forces because he asked himself a simple question: who else would protect his family?

He was given an assault rifle, but quickly realized that rifles alone cannot stop tanks.

The Russians lured him to a meeting under false pretenses, threw him into a car trunk, and took him away.

In captivity, he was beaten almost daily and suffered a broken rib. The occupiers offered him the position of head of the occupation administration, but he refused.

They demanded that he publicly condemn Roman Shukhevych, yet Mykolayenko instead called him a Hero of Ukraine.

Later, he was transferred between detention facilities—first to occupied Crimea, then to Russia’s Voronezh region, where the beatings became even more severe.

He never received a single letter from his family. He even refused prisoner exchanges, insisting that wounded young soldiers should be released in his place.

In his view, this war did not happen because of abstract mistakes. It happened because of geography and irresponsibility.

Russians chose Putin twenty-five years ago, and many continue to support him today. At the same time, too many members of Ukraine’s elite behave as if they have a “backup country”—Paris, Prague, New York—places they can escape to while blaming the people who were left behind.

But most Ukrainians have no alternative. There is no second homeland. There is only Ukraine.

According to Mykolayenko, the true strength of the country lies in its people—those who have survived occupation, torture, and loss, yet continue to fight.

Victory rests on two pillars: the soldiers who destroy the occupiers every day, and the civilians who do everything they can each day to ensure that the army can keep fighting.

He himself endured for the sake of his family and his faith in victory. He is proud of his daughter, who has been fighting since the first day of the war, and hopes that his grandchildren will one day be proud of both him and their country.

Welcome to America’s new nuclear family: three marriages, multiple affairs, got wife #3 pregnant while still married to wife #2, and paid $50,000 to settle a sexual assault.

🚨 Devon Archer was convicted of stealing $60 million from a Native American tribe.

Trump gave him a pardon in exchange for testifying against Hunter Biden.
