Yesterday, I dismantled the claim that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was justified by NATO expansion. Today, let’s tackle another major propaganda line: the idea that Ukraine needed to be “de-Nazified.” This claim is not just misleading—it’s a deliberate distortion of history designed to justify a war of aggression. The reality? Ukraine is not a Nazi-controlled…
Did NATO Break a Promise? Debunking a Popular Excuse for Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
Lately, a strange trend has emerged among certain so-called “conservatives” who are bending over backward to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Now, being skeptical of U.S. foreign policy is fair—we’ve certainly had our share of misadventures—but that doesn’t mean we should start parroting Kremlin propaganda like useful idiots. The three main arguments these pseudo-conservatives push…
The Senate’s Shameful Filibuster: Why Protecting Women’s Sports Shouldn’t Be Controversial
This week, something remarkable happened. Gavin Newsom, one of the most left-wing governors in America, admitted that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.” Yes, you read that right—the same Gavin Newsom who has spent years pushing radical gender ideology is suddenly concerned about fairness. Of course, Newsom’s newfound concern has…
Andrew Cuomo’s Mayoral Bid: Redemption or Political Rebranding?
Andrew Cuomo running for mayor of New York City? Now that’s a plot twist no one saw coming—except maybe Cuomo himself. Three years after resigning in disgrace, the former governor is attempting the mother of all political comebacks, betting that New Yorkers have short memories and even shorter attention spans. The question isn’t just whether…
Trump’s Address: A Defiant Speech, a Dysfunctional Opposition, and the State of the Nation
President Trump’s latest address to Congress was a masterclass in defiance, a blend of policy, bravado, and political theater. It was everything we’ve come to expect from him—bold, brash, and unapologetic. Love him or hate him, the man doesn’t mince words. He doubled down on his key campaign promises, threw out some well-aimed jabs at…
Trump’s Ukraine Gambit: Siding with the Bully, Abandoning the Victim
In a move that has left Ukraine scrambling and Putin smirking, President Trump has ordered a "pause" on all U.S. military aid to Ukraine. This decision, made after a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is yet another signal that Trump is more interested in forcing Ukraine to capitulate than in standing up to…
Why Ukraine Still Matters
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington last week with high hopes. He was expecting tough conversations, yes, but also the reinforcement of an alliance that has been critical to Ukraine’s survival. The centerpiece of his visit was supposed to be a minerals deal—one that would give the U.S. a tangible economic stake in Ukraine’s…
Europe Must Step Up: The Path to a Real Ukraine Peace Deal
For years, Europe has relied on the United States as the world's policeman, assuming we would foot the bill and send our troops while they focused on social programs, green energy initiatives, and bureaucratic red tape. That model is unsustainable and, frankly, unfair to American taxpayers. Now, with the war in Ukraine dragging on and…
Trump, Zelenskyy, and the Weight of War
Yesterday’s White House meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a high-stakes diplomatic encounter that revealed much about where both leaders—and their respective nations—stand on the war in Ukraine. What was meant to be a discussion on peace and cooperation quickly became a tense and sometimes awkward exchange, as Trump questioned Ukraine’s…
House Republicans’ Budget Bill: A Step in the Right Direction, But Still Kicking the Can Down the Road
House Republicans narrowly passed a multi-trillion-dollar budget bill that seeks to extend tax cuts, increase defense and immigration enforcement spending, and trim $2 trillion in government spending over the next decade. The bill represents a necessary course correction from the reckless fiscal policies of the Biden administration, but let’s be clear: while it’s a step…
