Fuel crisis in Russia: Gas stations in Novosibirsk are out of gasoline - 3,200km from Ukraine.
In Irkutsk, 4,500km from Ukraine, the line to a single gas station is kilometers long and some cars need to be pushed while in line because they run out of gas while waiting.

After Kristallnacht in November 1938, Willy – born in Bonn in 1921 – was arrested by the Gestapo at his factory and sent to Dachau concentration camp. He endured four horrific months there before being released on condition he left Germany within a month.

He arrived safely in England in May 1939. At the outbreak of war he was classified as an enemy alien and in June 1940 was interned and deported to Australia on the notorious Dunera, a journey described as a “floating concentration camp”.

After a year in Australia he returned to Britain, enlisted in the Pioneer Corps, and in 1943 transferred to the Royal Armoured Corps. He landed in Normandy on D-Day+1 as a tank driver and fought through France, Belgium, Holland and into Germany.

He was the sole survivor when his tank was hit by a German 88mm gun in Holland.

He wasn’t found liable for allegedly assaulting her, he was found liable for actually assaulting her.

BOOM SOON? The 'Yamal Cross’ in western Siberia is a junction that transits 85% of Russia’s natural gas. 17 massive pipelines cross under 54–100 atmospheres of pressure. Disrupt it, and 57% of Russia’s electricity production goes dark.

New Details of Trump's Alleged Rape of a 13-Year-Old

A family member has come forward to share new details about the alleged victim. And what those details reveal is chilling: a woman still living in fear, still scarred from the day Jeffrey Epstein allegedly delivered her as a 13-year-old girl to Donald Trump, who then tried to force her to perform oral sex — only for her to bite back in terror before he struck her.

This isn't ancient history or "unproven hearsay." It's fresh corroboration, pulled from Epstein files, of a pattern that has defined Trump for decades: treating women and girls as his personal property.

The Access Hollywood tape where he bragged about sexual assault. The court finding him liable for sexual abuse. The swarm of accusers. The known friendship with Epstein. And now this — a child victim, introduced by one monster to another, violated in a "tall building with huge rooms," and left carrying that trauma for life.

Trump isn't just "flawed." He is a pedophile and sexual predator whose behavior with minors has been credibly alleged multiple times, protected by power, money, threats, and a cult of denial.

America has watched him evade real accountability for far too long while victims hide in fear. The family member's words cut through the noise: this isn’t politics — it's a predator's legacy finally resurfacing with new witnesses and new horror.

We need the country to finally say enough. No more predators in the Oval Office. No more excuses. This man should be radioactive to any decent voter. The sickness isn't in talking about it — the sickness is in pretending it doesn’t matter. It does. And history will judge every person who looked away.

Kuleba: Putin spent two days pressing Lukashenko at Valdai. Then Lukashenko flew straight to Beijing. That sequence is not a coincidence

He went to China to relieve the stress he received during the meeting with Putin, not for permission to join the war 1/

Oman just delivered the biggest shock to Trump 🔥

🇺🇸Trump on 18 June 2026: "I will blow up Oman if they partner with Iran on tolls."

🇴🇲 Oman on 30 June 2026: "We propose a joint plan with Iran to collect fees in the Strait of Hormuz."

Absolute cinema by Iran and Oman. Iran has successfully ended America's superpower era 💪🔥

There are women who fall for convicted murderers on death row. Or who fall for men who treat them badly. There are women who were groomed since birth to submit and propagate.

Then there are the mercenary treasure hunters. Melania had a good run. It's Natalie's turn now.

❗️“The retransmitters in Belarus have not yet been dismantled. Yesterday, one of them was switched on, but I think they will no longer turn them on,” — Syrskyi said.

When asked whether the Belarusians would not be physically able to do this, the Commander-in-Chief replied:

“I can’t tell you everything. I think they will realize that they shouldn’t do it.“

❗️🇺🇦🇷🇺Putin’s inner circle is increasingly worried about Ukrainian strikes on key Russian defense industry facilities, with business leaders highlighting unprecedented damage.

🇷🇺 A good ending is not in sight: Putin’s entourage is concerned about Ukraine’s attacks on key enterprises of Russia’s defense industry.

🔹 In a letter to Putin, the CEO of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, calls the damage inflicted on Russian oil refineries “unprecedented.”

🗣️ Russian authorities traditionally try to downplay the scale of the problems, but business is increasingly concerned about the growth of military spending, high interest rates, rising fuel prices, and rumors that the state may gain access to people’s deposits. Nevertheless, the publication’s respondents believe that Putin is unlikely to change his course. At the same time, questions are increasingly heard in Moscow about why the Russian army did not take into account the rapid development of Ukrainian unmanned technologies and why it failed to prepare effective countermeasures?!

MAJOR BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has just ended Trump's ban on Birthright Citizenship, siding with our 14th Amendment.

In other words Trump continues to go against the US Constitution and SCOTUS continues to pushed back.

If you were born in the United States you a a US Citizen. PERIOD. If you are a racist piece of crap then TOUGH!

[Feisty is proud to be a Democrat! @FeistyLibLady]

America's own Joseph Goebbles aka Stephen Miller is crying about Democrats regaining power.

He is afraid of more justices on the Supreme Court, more states with Democrats as Governors and getting rid of ICE.

Stephen is just going to have cry harder because starting in 2027 Democrats will own the Senate and the House.

The dismantling of all of Miller's plans will start.

Trumpism is just about finished and so is Miller.

Q: What did Trump fail to do before launching the Iran strikes?

Bolton: He didn't prepare the American people. Didn't brief Congress. Didn't brief NATO allies. Didn't brief the Gulf Arab states. Didn't brief Japan, South Korea, or Australia. And most important, made no contact with the Iranian opposition.

Didn't ask about their plans, capabilities, whether they needed weapons, money, communications. The regime was at its weakest since 1979 — economy flat, 40,000 massacred in protests, half the population under 30 rejecting the system, women rejecting the Ayatollahs' fundamental legitimacy.

The latent support for regime change was enormous. And he simply didn't do anything.
