After a rush of idealistic volunteers from the West in the first year of the war, Ukraine now conducts psychological tests on all new candidates. The tests will indicate whether mercenaries will stay in Ukraine for the long term. Russia, on the hand, cynically exploits its recruits for transitory gain. So, will mercenaries win Putin’s war?

Economies and standards of living hinge on having an adequate, economic and reliable energy source – attributes that are non-negotiable for an optimal energy infrastructure. Our current trajectory risks creating inadequate, unaffordable and unreliable energy supplies, which would devastate the U.S. economy and standard of living.

The attempted assassination of President Donald Trump this weekend is truly chilling, as political violence of any kind is never acceptable and quite frankly, is un-American.

Hamas’ diabolical strategy of using Palestinian civilians as human shields ensures that Israel’s legitimate efforts to defend itself against the jihadists’ expressed genocidal aims will cause extensive injury and death to Palestinian civilians and leave Gazan civilian infrastructure in ruins.

Vance was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022 and sworn into office in January 2023. Before that, Vance served in the military during the Iraq War. He went on to graduate from The Ohio State University and, later, Yale Law School.

I was standing in what reporters call “the bumper” with my daughter and son-in-law – the well that runs the perimeter of the stage used primarily by photojournalists – when a gunman opened fire. The former president, just feet from me, grabs his face and finds blood running into his ear. He ducks down. More gunshots ring out. Within seconds, Donald Trump is surrounded by law enforcement who form a human shield around him. At this point, Michel Picard, one of the Trump campaign’s advance team, forces me down on the ground. The moment is a blur, but I recall just standing there, with my daughter and her husband already on the ground, and then Michel stretches on top of us to shield us.

We left early in the morning, when the creek valley air was still cool. With the El Camino's windows down and the cozy wings turned in, it was almost too cold, but I felt wonderful. We were heading east in a line of old cars, with our old car friends, driving along the winding road that followed the Ohio River. I looked out the window at the river's water flowing smoothly past small towns and under bridges. It was a beautiful day.

Former U.S. Secret Service agents and security experts argue the Secret Service’s failure to prevent an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Saturday was “apocalyptic,” exhibiting a “massive security breach.”

All of the vicious and violent anti-Donald Trump rhetoric must end. Now. It should never have gotten to this point. The media are complicit. So is Hollywood. So are many far-left Democrats. 

An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation. Everything. It’s not who we are as a nation. It’s not America, and we cannot allow this to happen. Unity is the most elusive goal of all, but nothing is important than that right now — unity.

Renewable electricity, mostly wind power, is useless in every dimension. It is extremely expensive but is made to look cheap by hiding an 80% subsidy.

For the last 50 years or more, the Democrats visibly have had the hair stand up on the back of their necks when one even slightly suggested some of their ideas belonged in the loony bin.  

My fellow Americans and my fellow American Jews: We have a problem. We, the American people, are losing our American minds. We are thinking and behaving badly, at a poison-Ivy-League level, and with trickle-down-scale consequences in the real world, beyond the twilight zone of academia.

The president’s performance in his recent debate with Donald Trump was a shock to anyone with eyes and ears. His handlers have limited his unscripted interactions with journalists for precisely this reason. Yet, he and his staff insist he is as intellectually vigorous as ever and trot out ludicrous excuses for why he stumbled.
