The "Vivaldi" offensive
Ukrainian defenders have made further gains against the russian fascist invaders north of Lyman.
Russian soldiers are being eliminated in the collapsing salient. Survivors are falling back in disorder to the Zherebets' River.
TRUTHS THAT AMERICANS NEED TO GRASP. 77 million people did not vote for Trump in 2024. The number was far less. The election was rigged for him by Musk and others, which included changing and deleting votes. Harris actually won by a large margin. Trump has been installed since 2016 (but it failed in 2020) by the Epstein Class to cover up their horrific crimes against children. He was a key player in Epstein's child sex trafficking ring. The reason the GOP backs Trump is not out of cowardice. It's out of complicity. Democrats have allowed this to happen, for reasons unknown. Trump's reign of terror could have been stopped under the Biden Administration, but they didn't even try. Now they won't speak the truth about any of it. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
This is important to remember - Trump was politically dead for a moment after his 2021 coup attempt failed, but never forget the traitors who paved the way for his return to power 👇
Donald Trump was done on January 6. Republican lawmakers failed to overturn the 2020 election after the violence was quelled. Mike Pence did his job, confirming Joe Biden’s victory. Social-media companies locked Trump out, and even allies issued rebukes. Two weeks later, the 45th president jetted off in disgrace for would-be exile in Mar-a-Lago. Democracy held.
Next, 67 senators could’ve voted to convict Trump in impeachment proceedings, barring him from running for office; state and federal prosecutors could’ve put the former president on trial for conspiracy and election subversion.
However, two men, Mitch McConnell and John Roberts, helped ensure that such accountability would never come to pass, paving the way for Trump’s return to power. The former Senate majority leader and chief justice of the Supreme Court each deservedly get a chapter in ‘Profiles in Cowardice,’ veteran political writer Jacob Weisberg’s searing “study in collaboration in the Trump era.”

“We’re standing there with our eyes closed and getting punched in the face.”
CBS has obtained verified photos showing destruction of buildings, vehicles and aircraft at U.S. positions in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Trump is golfing, making AI videos and banging Natalie Harp.

If a Putin-linked oligarch had quietly paid for part of Hunter Biden’s wedding, rented out a private island, and shown up with a group of Russians, Murphy wouldn’t have needed a floor speech. By lunchtime, it would have been treated as a national-security emergency — wall-to-wall coverage, ethics probes, and demands for a special counsel before the cake was cut. The fact that this is Don Jr. is the only reason it’s being treated as a “gift from a friend.” The standard isn’t the money or the island. It’s whose last name is on the invitation.
The Trump family's corruption could not get any more shameless.
On the same day Trump shamefully blamed Ukraine for high gas prices caused by his own war, it comes out that a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin footed the bill for Don Jr's wedding expenses.
More evidence that the Trumps are in Putin’s pocket.
This morning, the Russians struck a regular intercity minibus near Nikopol with an FPV drone. As of now, five people have been reported killed, and seven others are receiving medical care. No military rationale, just another atrocity. My condolences to the families and loved ones… Russian attacks on logistics and critical infrastructure continue unabated – the locomotive of a regular passenger train was struck in the Mykolaiv region. A railway station and a diesel locomotive were damaged, but the Ukrzaliznytsia team handled the situation well – they warned people in time, and no one was hurt. Nearly 170 passengers were evacuated. An electric locomotive in Kovel was also struck. In Kyiv, firefighting efforts have been ongoing since last night. The Kherson, Donetsk, and Poltava regions also came under attack.
Every one of these strikes affects the lives of ordinary people, who must be protected by forcing Russia to stop its asinine war. And gifts to the aggressor in the form of eased sanctions will certainly do nothing to advance peace. And right now, in these very days, the United States Congress is considering an important Lindsey Graham bill that could send the right signals and help take the right steps toward genuine peace. Discussions are also underway in the EU on extending sanctions against Russia for its war. When such savage Russian killings occur every day, it is important that sanctions measures in response to the war be strong. This is not the time to ease the pressure. Now is the time to do everything to ensure that diplomacy succeeds through strength. I thank everyone who understands this and is helping.
❗️Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Kyiv with Eisuke Mori, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Japanese Parliament. The sides discussed energy support for Ukraine ahead of winter and defense cooperation, including possible Japanese participation in the PURL program. Zelenskyy emphasized that the Japanese delegation’s visit to Kyiv amid ongoing Russian attacks is an important demonstration of support.
Crazy how the mainstream media mostly ignore the red flags flying in front of their eyes.
He said the quiet part out loud, and they allowed him to get away with it.
I’m a great believer that cheaters never win.
Not in the long term…
