Russia Warns of Retaliation After Zelensky Threatens Victory Day Drone Flyovers

The European Union’s new Migration Pact officially took effect on June 12, and it could become one of the most divisive policies Brussels has ever imposed on its member states. Under the new rules, countries that refuse to accept migrants assigned to them through the EU’s redistribution system can face penalties of up to €21,000 per migrant. For nations resisting the policy, the bill could quickly climb into the hundreds of millions of euros each year. As if migrants flooding their countries wasn’t costing them enough already. The pact also introduces accelerated asylum and border processing procedures, while granting migrants access to certain worker rights after just six months in the system, which could make Europe an even more attractive destination for migration. Supporters describe the pact as a fair way to share responsibility across Europe. Critics say it’s a system that favors bureaucracy over secure

President Trump announced that a preliminary deal with Iran is “all signed” and that the Strait will be completely opened on Friday. Is there any truth to this? Because at this point, we sure do have reason to question these weekly “peace deal” announcements, don’t we? Especially when Trump posts absurd statements like this: “Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon!” As for an actual deal itself, there could be some truth to it this time, seeing how Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, announced that the two sides had agreed on a deal, and Iran’s Minister of Foreign Affairs confirmed this as well, stating: “We are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.” The keyword here is “Lebanon”.

President Trump announced that a deal with Iran has been reached and the Strait of Hormuz would be opened immediately. Iran, however, does not appear to be treating the matter as a finalized deal. A statement from the Secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council indicates that additional steps remain before any final agreement is reached. “The signing of this Memorandum of Understanding will be officially held on Friday, June 19,” according to the statement. “Negotiations for a final agreement will be postponed until after the other party has fulfilled its obligations under the Memorandum of Understanding.” It is significant that Iran has acknowledged the framework of a deal but it is not in fact a done deal. Iran’s conditions continue to include Lebanon, meaning Israel must cease its bombing campaign and military operations there. As he has on multiple occasions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected calls for a

Protests broke out in Kiev this weekend with Ukrainians protesting President Zelensky and his endless war and corruption. The protests reportedly began when a man faced forced conscription from police while walking down the street. Ukrainians surrounded the man and pushed police back, chanting “Shame!” The protest grew until police used tear gas on the crowds to disperse them. Forced conscription has been happening in Ukraine for over three years but Western media ignores this due to its love affair with Ukraine. Ukrainians do not want to be used to defend Zelensky’s war; they want peace. As the war drags on with no peace deal in sight, frustration appears to be spilling into the streets. What began as an attempt to stop one man’s conscription quickly turned into a broader display of public discontent.

Thursday morning, President Trump declared that “The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT“. Hours later, Trump posted that he had discussions with the highest level of Iranian leadership, and that “Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved.” Later that day, Trump announced to reporters that “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran.” That sounds promising, if it wasn’t for the fact that Iran’s Foreign Ministry has said that “no agreement has been reached.” And there are claims that the discussions being publicly described by Washington never even occurred. Does this all sound familiar? One day, we’re told victory is near. The next day, we’re told Iran is ready to surrender. Then reports surface that a deal is

According to multiple Skid Row residents, votes for Karen Bass were going for as little as two dollars during the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral election. Allegations of vote-buying emerged in a series of TikTok interviews. In the videos, residents described being offered small sums of money to fill out ballots. One woman, who said she was paid $2, stated, “They come out here all the time.” Another resident, Rene Johnson, said she received $5. Exploiting some of Los Angeles’ most vulnerable residents for votes certainly paints an ugly picture of our political system, doesn’t it? The allegations are just the latest controversy surrounding Bass. She faces criticism over a city plagued by homelessness, crime, and deteriorating conditions, and continued backlash over her handling of the devastating Palisades fires. Even her own brother is suing the city she runs after losing his Malibu home in the fire. You’d think a string of controversies
