A father is all about protection and safety. And today, this has taken on an even deeper meaning, because Ukrainian fathers are protecting not only their children, but also the very possibility of a safe future.

Being a dad in Ukraine today takes a special kind of courage. And a special kind of love. We thank all Ukrainian dads for their care and strength. All those who defend Ukraine and who do everything possible every day for their families and children. Those who teach, inspire, and support.

May every Ukrainian family have what we are fighting for: a peaceful and safe future.

Happy Father’s Day!

Meet alcoholic MAGAt Sheriff Randy Smith who is a staunch Republican and a Donald Trump supporter and aligns himself with conservative, pro-Trump political values. After consuming 18 beers he assaulted a local resident. As a result of the assualt, Sheriff Smith faces Felony Battery charges but has refused to resign from office. He still carries his badge and gun.

Investigators allege that an intoxicated Sheriff Smith approached local resident and podcaster Bobby Couvillion from behind, placed him in a chokehold, and threw him to the floor. Bystanders intervened to pull Smith away. Couvillion suffered a concussion and displaced teeth, requiring hospitalization.

He operates within a deeply conservative region and maintains strong ties to mainstream Republican platforms. Smith is a registered Republican who won his third term in 2023 with more than 60% of the vote in highly conservative St. Tammany Parish.

Edmundo González Urrutia ratifica su posición como el último presidente electo de Venezuela con base en los resultados documentados del 28 de julio de 2024, afirmando que su deber es custodiar y defender ese mandato de cambio de manera pacífica pero firme. En sintonía con María Corina Machado y las fuerzas democráticas, plantea que el camino hacia la libertad real y la reinstitucionalización del país requiere la construcción de condiciones para unas nuevas elecciones presidenciales legítimas; para ello, exige garantías innegociables como la liberación de los presos políticos, el fin de la persecución, y la total independencia de los poderes electoral y judicial.

Just for those who are saying there was chemical sabotage to peel the paint in the reflective pool, you’re right.

It’s just, you guys did it to kill the algae.

Trump is the greatest enemy of the US:
1. His unjustified claim to Greenland has effectively ended NATO.
2. His support of Putin has ended all claims to the US supporting democracy.
3. His end of all US international aid has ended US soft power.
4. His war on iran has presented the US as a global village fool.
5. His persistent insults of all friendly global leaders alienates all.
6. No US president has appointed more incompetent people.
7. Finally, a man who always lies can't have any credibility.

Ukraine just stripped the Kerch Bridge of its air defence.

In a joint operation on June 21, Ukraine’s Security Service and Special Operations Forces struck two Pantsir air defence systems deployed directly on the Crimean Bridge — and simultaneously disabled four S-400 radar stations.

Six air defence assets. One operation. The bridge that Russia built as a symbol of its grip on Crimea is now unprotected.

Every air defence system destroyed around the Kerch Bridge expands the operational window for what comes next. Every radar station disabled removes another layer of early warning for Russian forces defending the peninsula.

The broader picture of Crimea’s air defence in June 2026:
→ Pantsir systems struck in Zaporizhzhia region — June 19
→ Two Pantsirs on the Kerch Bridge — destroyed today
→ Four S-400 radars — disabled today → All major land crossings closed or under fire control
→ Fuel rationing across the peninsula → Oil and gas infrastructure burning
Russia built the Kerch Bridge to make
Crimea feel permanent.

Ukraine is systematically dismantling everything that makes it defensible.

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

🚨¡Otra presa política con cuatro niños pequeños! ¡Ha sido brutalmente aislada y fue torturada en el Dgcim por órdenes del asesino Alexander Granko Arteaga y William Tarek Saab!

Nos siguen llegando más historias de mujeres víctimas del régimen de Nicolás Maduro y Diosdado Cabello quienes sin tener respeto por la Constitución y las leyes nos le importó llenar las cárceles de inocentes.

Es el caso de Veruzka Vanessa
Villegas Guevara, identificada con la cédula número 20.003.005 y de 37 años, quien siendo madre de 4 niños pequeños de 6, 7, 9 y 12 años, también la relacionaron con un caso de corrupción de Pdvsa, sin haber sido ella nunca parte de esa nómina.

Veruzka fue secuestrada de su casa en Barinas, cuando se presentó para una "entrevista" en la sede de los organismos el 20 de octubre de 2025 para forzarla a decir donde estaba su ex - esposo (con quien lleva años separada), y cómo simplemente no tenía información de su paradero fue llevada hasta la sede de la Dgcim - Boleita, donde también fue torturada de manera brutal por órdenes de Granko Arteaga. Durante el tiempo en que fue detenida, no fue sino después del 3 de enero que su familia en el estado llanero pudo obtener información de su reclusión y condiciones de salud, que se han visto mermadas por las pésimas condiciones de alimentación y encierro.

El "delito" de Veruzka ha sido no saber nada de su ex pareja en términos de una investigación viciada donde hasta la presunción de inocencia queda vulnerada por una fiscalía -en ese entonces en manos de Tarek Williams Saab - quien ordenaba encarcelar a todo aquel que no declarara, lo que según él, son sus verdades.

Sus familiares, quienes están frente a la Embajada de Estados Unidos como las de otros presos políticos piden al @MinpublicoVEN solicitar la liberación inmediata de Veruzka, máxime con el daño psicológico que está afectando a sus pequeños hijos. Veruzka, actualmente se encuentra recluida en el INOF -Los Teques.

¡Basta de tanta injusticias! ¡Liberen a Veruzka! ¡Liberen a los presos políticos!

Billionaires didn't build this country. Working people did. Tax the rich.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump told the country his ballroom was “taxpayer-free.” His own contractor’s records say you’ve been paying for it the whole time. 

The price has nearly tripled since last summer, from $200 million to $600 million, and more than $300 million of that is coming from your tax dollars.

US troops would die during any ground invasion of Iran. It would also be brazenly illegal without Congressional authorization.

And if US troops took over the Straight, Iran would try to kill them every day in a forever war.

Iran knows these are empty threats by trump.

"If Lukashenko doesn't remove the radio relay stations, we will. That will happen within a week," said Zelenskyy.

"He can keep his 'sorry' to himself. That hasn't worked since the first day of the war. I explained to him: step one—no technical support for Russian radio relay stations," Zelenskyy said regarding Lukashenko's remarks.

The President emphasized that Minsk must prove through concrete actions that it is not supporting Russia in the war against Ukraine.

🛑 MANSIONES FRENTE AL MAR, YATES, FERRARIS Y AVIONES DEL ESTADO | Así vivían los "narcosobrinos" mientras Venezuela se moría de hambre

Volaban 800 kilos de cocaína de las FARC desde el HANGAR PRESIDENCIAL de Maiquetía. El destino del dinero, confesado a la DEA: financiar la campaña de Cilia y mantener a la familia en el poder.

🚨 Lo más escalofriante: por WhatsApp se enviaban FOTOS de una cabeza y un torso humano desmembrados —el cuerpo de "Carlos Breaker", de 27 años—. Por eso la Fiscalía de NY pidió cadena perpetua, según reveló el WSJ.

Detenidos en Haití con pasaportes diplomáticos. En su mansión y yate en RD: 280 libras más de cocaína. Condena: 18 años cada uno.

Y arriba de todos, la arquitecta: Cilia Flores, "la artífice de un sistema de impunidad".

A federal judge has ordered the restoration of historical materials that were removed from national parks and historical sites across this country. These are not just signs and exhibits. These are the stories of enslaved people, civil rights leaders, indigenous communities, women who fought for suffrage, and immigrants who helped build this nation. Even with this ruling, the effort to erase our history continues. We will not look away and we will not back down.
