EUROPEAN Allies RALLY to Defend Ukraine as Trump Era Looms
— London, Paris, and Warsaw are forming a core group to support Ukraine against Russia, anticipating changes in U.S. policy under a possible Trump presidency. Donald Trump hasn’t detailed his plans for ending the conflict but has mentioned options like land swaps or demilitarized zones. These strategies clash with Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss defense matters and support for Ukraine. They want outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden to allow Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles against Russia before any Trump policy shift. The U.S., however, worries this could escalate tensions with Moscow significantly.
A UK government source stressed the urgency of maximizing efforts before Trump’s potential presidency begins on January 20th. Starmer and Macron aim to strengthen Ukraine’s position as winter nears and after Trump’s re-election announcement days ago, despite financial challenges faced by both the UK and France amid budgetary issues.
Poland, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusks, is also increasing its role in this emerging anti-Trump alliance within Europe. Meetings between Polish leaders and European counterparts are planned to involve NATO members from Scandinavia as well.
TRUMP’S Triumph Ignites Outrage: Just Stop OIL Strikes Back
— On Wednesday, Donald Trump claimed victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, winning support from over 70 million Americans. Yet, not everyone was pleased. The far-left group Just Stop Oil showed their anger by splashing bright orange paint on the U.S. Embassy in London.
Just Stop Oil slammed corporate power and fossil fuel industries, saying they control major political parties and are the real winners of the election. They called Trump a “fake populist,” claiming he ignores what they see as vital — stopping oil and gas drilling. The group urged regular people to act since they believe no leaders will make needed changes.
Activist Joseph Aggarwal was detained by police after joining the protest. He voiced concerns about a lack of true democracy across Western nations, arguing voters get similar policies no matter which party wins, worsening living conditions and climate issues. Aggarwal accused Trump of using public frustration to help billionaires while ignoring urgent environmental problems.
TRUMP’S Triumph: Disillusioned Voters Reject Harris-Biden Agenda
— Former President Donald Trump has made a comeback to the White House, highlighting widespread dissatisfaction with Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden’s nearly four-year term. Many voters, unhappy with America’s path, embraced Trump’s bold approach. AP VoteCast showed about 3 in 10 voters wanted a complete government overhaul.
Economic concerns were key in Trump’s victory, overshadowing issues like democracy and abortion protections favored by Harris’ supporters. Voters worried about the economy supported stronger immigration enforcement and believed Trump was better suited to tackle economic challenges. This sentiment was strong in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Even though he won the electoral college, some voters had reservations about Trump’s potential use of power. A notable number expressed concern over possible authoritarianism under his leadership. Yet more than 1 in 10 concerned voters still backed him despite these fears.
Inflation anxiety was a major concern nationwide as families felt their financial situations worsening since the last election cycle. The rising cost of living remained an urgent issue for many Americans struggling with higher prices on essentials like groceries and housing costs. These economic pressures greatly boosted Trump’s appeal among disenchanted voters seeking change.
TRUMP’S Shocking Victory: Pennsylvania WIN Secures Presidency
— Fox News declared Donald TRUMP the winner of Pennsylvania early Wednesday morning, securing his victory in the presidential race. Trump delivered a victory speech at Mar-a-Lago around 2:30 a.m. ET.
NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor reported that aides to Kamala Harris acknowledged her loss, despite no official concession from Harris herself. Her team discussed future cooperation with the Trump administration.
The Associated Press, CNN, and MSNBC confirmed Trump’s victory later in the morning, around 6 a.m. ET. Meanwhile, Harris left her election night event at Howard University without making any public remarks or conceding to Trump.
TRUMP’S Triumph: World Leaders Cheer His Return
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly congratulated Donald Trump on his HISTORIC return to the White House. Netanyahu, facing challenges with Iran, shared his excitement on X. He stressed the renewed alliance between Israel and America under Trump’s leadership.
Fox News announced Trump’s victory early Wednesday morning, marking a significant political comeback. World leaders swiftly offered their congratulations on X, showing international readiness for collaboration. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed eagerness to work with Trump again for global peace and prosperity.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban celebrated Trump’s win as a monumental comeback in U.S. political history. Orban highlighted the importance of this victory for global politics, aligning with his own border control policies. Fox News reported Trump’s victory over Harris in Wisconsin, flipping a key state back to Republican control.
Harris’s SHIFTING Fracking Stance ALARMS Conservatives
— Co-host John Roberts aired a clip of Bernie Sanders saying Kamala Harris is being pragmatic to win the election, despite her past views. Roberts then questioned if Harris would revert to opposing fracking if elected.
Philippe Reines responded by suggesting that Sanders’ comments reflect Harris’s current stance on fracking, even though she previously opposed it. He emphasized that candidates often change their positions based on electoral needs and context.
Reines believes Harris is aligning with President Biden’s record to gain support from undecided voters. He expressed confidence in this strategy as a winning approach for the election.
TRUMP RALLY Draws Huge Crowd In Arizona: Supporters Ecstatic
— Videos and pictures on social media show the arena, which holds 18,000 people, nearly full ahead of former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Turning Point Action rally. Supporters lined up for miles hoping to gain entry.
The venue previously hosted an event by Harris earlier this month, drawing a crowd of 15,000. The Trump rally comes shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his presidential campaign and urged blue state residents to vote for him while supporting Trump in battleground states.
Trump hinted at a “special guest” for the rally on Truth Social, leading many to speculate that it could be Kennedy. “Heading to Arizona where I will soon be speaking at Turning Point — BIG CROWD, AND EVEN BIGGER SURPRISE!” he posted.
HARRIS ENTERS 2024 Race: National Security Fears Rise
— Kamala Harris has entered the race for the White House following President Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election. This sudden shift has raised alarms among national security experts who worry that adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran may exploit the “chaos” to their advantage.
These nations have shown little outward reaction to Biden’s withdrawal, but concerns remain high about potential changes in U.S. force posture abroad. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned that Moscow was “not very surprised” by Biden’s decision and emphasized Russia’s focus on its military operations in Ukraine.
With four months until the elections, much can change, making it crucial for America to stay vigilant and monitor developments closely. The Democratic Party now faces the challenge of building a strong platform against Republican candidate Donald Trump amid these geopolitical tensions.
BIDEN’S Border Chaos: Record Crossings Spark Outrage
— President Biden’s border policy is facing intense scrutiny as illegal crossings hit record highs. Critics argue that the administration’s approach has led to chaos and insecurity at the southern border. Republican lawmakers are calling for immediate action to restore order.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed additional state resources to manage the surge. He stated, “The federal government’s failure leaves us no choice but to protect our own borders.” Local communities are feeling the strain, with many residents expressing concerns over safety and resources.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the administration’s strategy, claiming it aims for a “humane” approach. However, many believe this leniency only encourages more illegal immigration.
With midterm elections approaching, border security remains a hot-button issue. Republicans see this as an opportunity to highlight what they view as Biden’s failed policies and push for stricter enforcement measures.
TRUMP FIGHTS Back: Lawyers Demand End to GAG Order in New York Case
— Donald Trump’s legal team is requesting the removal of a gag order that prevents him from commenting on witnesses, jurors, and others involved in his criminal case. His lawyers argue that the restrictions on Trump’s First Amendment rights are no longer justified now that the trial has concluded.
Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, emphasized the need for “unrestrained campaign advocacy,” especially after President Joe Biden’s public comments about the verdict. They also pointed out ongoing criticism from Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels as reasons to lift the gag order.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to comment on this request. Judge Juan M. Merchan initially issued the gag order before the trial started due to concerns about Trump attacking those involved in his cases.
Merchan later expanded it to include comments about his own family after Trump targeted his daughter online. While remarks about Merchan and District Attorney Alvin Bragg are permitted, statements regarding court staff and Bragg’s prosecution team remain prohibited under the current gag order.
UK-US SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP Faces Turbulence With Trump And Labour
— Polls indicate Donald Trump may return to the White House, while the Labour Party is projected to take power in the UK. This potential shift could strain the “special relationship” between the two nations.
Labour leaders are softening their stance on Trump, recognizing the need for cooperation with Washington. However, London Mayor Sadiq Khan is pushing for open criticism of Trump, labeling him a “racist,” “sexist,” and "homophobe.
Khan insists that maintaining a special relationship means calling out such views. Despite his city’s crime issues and recent re-election, Khan remains vocal against another Trump presidency. He argues against welcoming Trump with state honors and claims many Republicans share his concerns about Trump’s return.
NOEM’S Presidential Dreams Shattered by Dog Debacle
— Governor Kristi Noem, once seen as a likely choice for Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate, now faces a major hurdle. In her memoir “No Going Back,” she shares a story about her aggressive dog, Cricket. The dog caused chaos on a hunting trip and even attacked a neighbor’s chickens. This incident paints an unflattering picture of chaos under her watch.
Noem describes Cricket as having an “aggressive personality” and behaving like a “trained assassin.” These words come from her own book, which was supposed to enhance her political image. Instead, it underscores significant issues of control — both over the dog and perhaps within her own home.
The situation forced Noem to declare the dog “untrainable” and dangerous. This revelation could damage her appeal among voters who prize personal responsibility and leadership skills. It casts doubt on her ability to manage more significant responsibilities in higher office roles.
This event could severely affect Noem’s future in politics, including any plans for cabinet positions or presidential aspirations in 2028. Her attempt to appear relatable in the book might instead highlight critical lapses in judgment that are vital for national leadership roles.
CHAOS at O’Hare: Protesters Block Airport, Spark Outrage Among Travelers
— Anti-Israel demonstrators created chaos outside Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport by blocking Interstate 190. With arms linked and “long tubes” in hand, they made it impossible for vehicles to pass. This led to travelers, dragging their luggage behind them, being forced to walk to the airport.
Nearby, another group took over a roadway with a sign that slammed U.S. financial support as funding genocide. Their chants and drumbeats echoed loudly, voicing their opposition against Israel loudly and clearly. This act of protest brought significant disruption to those trying to make their flights at one of America’s busiest airports.
Undeterred travelers embarked on foot with their bags, navigating past protesters wearing keffiyeh scarves and waving “Free Palestine” banners. While the protesters’ message was loud and clear, it came at the cost of disrupting the day-to-day lives of countless individuals.
This event has sparked debate over whether such disruptive methods are effective or appropriate for conveying political messages. Despite aiming to highlight their cause, these demonstrators have faced backlash for causing substantial inconvenience to the public and potentially endangering safety by blocking routes meant for emergencies.
PUTIN’S NUCLEAR Warning: Russia Ready to Defend Sovereignty at ANY Cost
— In a stark warning, President Vladimir Putin has declared that Russia stands ready to employ nuclear weapons if its statehood, sovereignty or independence comes under threat. This alarming statement comes on the eve of a presidential election this week where Putin is anticipated to secure another six-year term.
During an interview with Russian state television, Putin underscored the full readiness of Russia’s nuclear forces. He confirmed that the nation is militarily and technically prepared and would resort to nuclear action if its existence or independence was threatened.
Despite his continuous threats since launching the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Putin refuted any plans of using battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine as there hasn’t been any necessity for such drastic measures so far.
U.S President Joe Biden was characterized by Putin as an experienced politician who comprehends the potential dangers of escalation. He voiced optimism that the U.S would avoid actions that could potentially ignite a nuclear conflict.
CONGRESS Holds the Key: The FUTURE of the Russia-Ukraine War in Year Three
— As we enter the third year of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, experts tell Fox News Digital that its future hangs on Congress. Will they overcome their hesitation to provide ongoing support? Kenneth J Braithwaite, a former Navy secretary under Trump and ex-ambassador to Norway, underscores America’s alliances’ crucial role in this worldwide challenge.
Communism is alive and well," warns Braithwaite. He emphasizes that as Russia battles Europe and China seeks greater global sway, Americans must prioritize self-defense against these threats. This protection comes through partnerships and unified resistance against authoritarian dangers.
Ukraine’s second invasion year witnessed significant turmoil with Russia initially facing major defeats when Wagner forces defected. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin managed to mount a successful counterattack against Ukraine’s counteroffensive. In a daring move, Putin rejected renewing a U.N.-backed deal for grain shipments via the Black Sea and instead launched an attack on Ukraine.
In response, Ukraine unleashed an impressive naval operation that obliterated twelve Russian vessels in the Black Sea — a strategic victory for Kyiv that enabled them to create their own grain corridor by driving out the Russian fleet from
TRUMP’S EYE on Burgum: A Potential Power Player in Second Administration
— Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, has recently been spotlighted by former President Trump as a potential key player for his possible second term. This news emerged following Trump’s unprecedented victory in the Iowa Caucuses.
Responding to conjecture about a potential role in Trump’s administration, Burgum, who had previously endorsed Trump just before the Iowa Caucuses said, “Well, it’s very flattering... but you know, these are all hypotheticals.”
The Governor underscored his dedication to his current position and to backing Trump’s nomination and election endeavors. He further explained that his previous campaign was motivated by concerns about the economy, energy and national security issues that America is facing.
EXPOSED: BIDEN and Elites’ Unsettling Alliance with China
— President Joe Biden’s recent actions have stirred up a storm of controversy. His apparent dismissal of the idea of “decoupling” from China is causing concern among conservatives. These revelations come from a new book, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life.
The book suggests that global elites and politicians like Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom are actively pushing for a closer resemblance between the U.S. and its Communist adversary. It alleges that these individuals view Beijing’s elites not as threats or rivals but as business partners.
Among those named in these claims are influential figures such as BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Apple’s Tim Cook, and Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman. These business leaders were reportedly present at a dinner honoring Chinese Communist Party Leader Xi Jinping where they stood in applause for Chairman Xi.
This revelation comes at a time when concerns over China’s influence on global politics are growing. It highlights the urgent need for transparency in dealings between American leaders and foreign powers.
BIDEN-XI Summit: A Bold Leap or a Blunder in US-China Diplomacy?
— President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping have committed to keeping direct lines of communication open. This decision follows their lengthy four-hour discussion at the 2023 APEC summit in San Francisco. The leaders unveiled an initial agreement aimed at halting the influx of fentanyl precursors into the U.S. They also plan to restore military communications, which were cut off after China’s disagreement with the Pentagon following Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in 2022.
Despite rising tensions, Biden made efforts during Wednesday’s meeting to strengthen U.S.-China relations. He also vowed to persistently challenge Xi on human rights issues, arguing that frank discussions are “critical” for successful diplomacy.
Biden voiced positivity about his rapport with Xi, a relationship that began during their vice-presidential terms. However, uncertainty looms as a congressional investigation into COVID-19 origins threatens US-China relations.
It is unclear whether this renewed dialogue will result in substantial progress or further complications.
TRUMP BACKLASH: Former Arkansas Governor Booed at Florida Freedom Summit Over Anti-Trump Remarks
— Asa Hutchinson, the former governor of Arkansas, was met with a chorus of boos during his speech at the Florida Freedom Summit. This strong reaction from the crowd was triggered when Hutchinson hinted that Donald Trump could potentially face a felony conviction by a jury next year.
Having served as both a federal prosecutor and representative, Hutchinson is currently not making any waves in the Republican primary race with his polling numbers flatlining at zero percent. His remarks sparked widespread disapproval among the more than 3,000 attendees present at the event.
Despite facing an unfavorable response from his audience, Hutchinson didn’t back down. He maintained that Trump’s potential legal troubles could sway independent voters’ view of the party and influence down-ticket races for Congress and Senate.
TRUMP’S FIGHT: The Fourteenth Amendment Takes Center Stage in Ballot Battle
— A brewing legal battle is placing the spotlight on the Fourteenth Amendment’s “Insurrection Clause”. Plaintiffs argue that President Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, should bar him from appearing on future ballots.
This legal challenge is not unique to one state. Similar cases are popping up across the country, including Colorado. Here, Judge Sarah Wallace, an appointee of Democrat Governor Jared Polis, presides over the case. There is a possibility that this issue may escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump’s defense team counters by asserting that this amendment doesn’t extend to presidents. They highlight that while it mentions Senators and Representatives among others, it does not explicitly include presidents. The presidential oath has its own separate provision in the Constitution.

Their conversation focused on key topics, including strategies from Biden’s administration and ensuring a smooth handover of duties.
