๐บ๐ฆ Valentina was 23 years old.
She studied popular vocals at the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts.
She also wanted to help children with Down syndrome and autism...plans she intended to pursue after the war.
However, everything changed when her father, Sergeant Vitaliy Filipov, fell in battle for Ukraine in September 2022.
In July 2023, Valentyna went to the enlistment office, saying: "I want to go to the front. I want to save lives."
This awesome young woman joined the Ukrainian Army's 4th Separate Tank Brigade๐ซก
On January 10, 2024, while returning from a combat position, the vehicle she was traveling in was struck by an anti-tank missile.
Valentyna was killed instantly๐
Her mother, Olga, remembered her daughter as the embodiment of pure goodness...she was incredibly sociable, caring, and creative, and had a gift for bringing people together.
She wanted to help others. And when Ukraine needed defenders, she chose to go to the front.
My absolutely respect ๐ซก
Rest in peace, heroine ๐๐

If an armed stalker of your 14-year-old daughter came to your home, would you shoot the stalker under Florida's stand-your-ground laws?
a. Yes
b. No
-- Would it be preferable that the daughter continued living in fear of the stalker?
With the information given by outside observers of the destruction of Russia's logistics and the wholesale surrender of its soldiers when confronted by Ukrainian's attacks, Russia is not fairing so well. When Russian generals start spontaneously jumping out of "windows,"
Vlad is VERY unhappy...
It has amazed me how miserably the Dems have set their political sails! I am a 79-year-old former USAF pilot. As an "Old Fart" who grew up an Air Force Brat, I'm pretty good at reading the Tea Leaves. These poor souls have hitched their Political Stars to a viewpoint and an almost evil path that will condemn them to a massive failure.

Victor Davis Hanson has spent fifty years studying how wars end. When he says the tide is turning, it's worth listening to why.
His argument isn't based on what the Pentagon is saying. It's based on how everyone else is behaving.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐. VDH's rule: Europeans never agree to go anywhere near a conflict unless they think the winning side has already been determined. They didn't help in the early days. Now they're starting to move. That movement is not idealism. It's a calculation. They've looked at the battlefield and decided which way this ends.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐น๐ณ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ผ-๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐. The Saudis, the Emiratis, the Qataris โ these governments have survived for generations by reading the regional climate with precision. When they expel Iranian military attachรฉs, when they intercept Iranian missiles over their own capitals and say nothing about American strikes, when the UAE reaffirms its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the United States mid-war โ they are not making ideological statements. They are placing bets. And they are betting on the United States.
๐๐น ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ. This is the one that should stop you cold. Al Jazeera โ the Qatari state media network, historically critical of American military action, the network Tucker Carlson and the anti-war right love to cite against Israel โ is now calling the U.S. bombing campaign brilliant and effective, and saying it has been underestimated. When the media outlet of a nation that hosts both the largest American air base in the Middle East and a Hamas political office starts praising American military effectiveness, the message is unmistakable: ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ธ๐ฆ'๐ณ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ฎ๐น. A-10 Warthogs and Apache helicopter gunships are now flying strike missions in Iranian airspace at will. VDH's point: you only deploy those aircraft when there is effectively no air defense left to threaten them. They are slow, low-flying, close-support platforms. Their presence confirms what the Pentagon has been claiming โ Iran has no meaningful air defense remaining.
Iran's strategy now is rope-a-dope. Run out the clock. Wait for American public opinion to shift. Hope the midterms create political pressure on Trump to stop. It is the only play they have left.
VDH's conclusion: if Trump sees it through โ and he believes he will โ the regime falls. Not in years. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ป.

๐บ๐ฆ Kharkiv, Ukraine Frontline Joy Drive for Kids with Disabilities ๐งธ
๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ Since returning to the United States from my 5th humanitarian volunteer trip, I continue to support my Ukrainian friends, and Iโm asking for your help with a truly special effort.
I was honored to volunteer in Kharkiv with Chervona Kalyna. This holiday season, they are raising funds to create a real celebration for kidsโespecially those from internally displaced families, children of defenders, and children with disabilities.๐๐
๐We want to give them sweet gifts, decorate a beautiful Christmas tree, and host festive events to bring much-needed laughter and light to those impacted by the war.
๐ฏLike so many local Ukrainian humanitarian groups, their mission and impact depend entirely on donors, volunteers, and everyday acts of care.
โก๏ธ DONATE HERE: https://t.co/ZrkPwQv8PO
โ Whether itโs a repost to share this mission, a kind word of encouragement, or a small donationโevery act of solidarity matters for Ukraine.
โถ๏ธPlease watch my 2-minute video to learn more!

Members of the US Republican Congress are increasingly losing patience with Russia, but also Trump regarding Ukraine:
Senator Thom Tillis: โRussia is really playing us like a piano right now.โ
Senator Joni Ernst: โI think it is time to move on Russia sanctions. (โฆ) Putin is playing him (Trump) right now.โ
Congressman Don Bacon: โHe (Trump) has been weak on Russia. He has been great on Iran, but he has been terrible on Russia.โ
โIโve been voting Democrat for 31 years. I am now 49. Iโve been voting Democrat for as long as Charlie Kirk was alive.โ
โAs far as the Democratic Party, Iโm done. Iโm out. You have lost me. Iโve stayed loyal & true to this party for over 30 f*cking years. Iโm done.โ
This is happening everywhere ๐๐ผ๐ฅ๐๐ผ
๐๐ฅA Russian invader tried to escape ๐บ๐ฆUkrainian drones by wading into a river.
Unfortunately for him and fortunately for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he did not succeed. -1๐ท๐บ๐ท
This person thought it was ok to celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk. Now that sheโs been exposed sheโs crying about it. Make her go even more viral.
