Donald Trump today met with executives at Blue Origin—the space company owned and operated by Jeff Bezos.

The neo-Nazi who failed to establish a white ethnostate in Springfield, Maine, is claiming a Springfield, Ohio, victory after falsehoods he and his followers have been spreading for months were repeated by former U.S. President Donald Trump during last week’s debate. No one else is more on top of what is happening in Springfield, Ohio, right now than Blood Tribe, claimed Christopher Pohlhaus, founder of the neo-Nazi group in a social media post immediately following Trump’s remarks about Haitian immigrants eating pets in that city.

For many years, Tajikistan has been gravely affected by drug trafficking. At least 15-20 tons of opium and between 75 and 80 metric tons of heroin are smuggled into the country each year from Afghanistan either for local consumption or for transfer to Russia and Europe. Despite an official Tajik government policy to fight illicit drug trafficking in cooperation with foreign governments and international organizations, trafficking continues to increase. The volume of drug transit through Tajikistan is now equivalent to 30 percent of the country’s GDP. So far, the success of domestic Tajik policies and international assistance has been minimal. Trafficking is a product of numerous complex…

Two years on, hundred thousand of deaths, families destroyed, Russia is no where near its 3-day goals of occupation. The Russian army slugs on, mile for mile, killed for killed. Vladimir Putin and his Siloviki continues a red army model. Heavy artillery, wave of men urging forward. The result, mass casualties. Total loss of life, and equipment. What does Russians do if in trouble. Reversing to its all bag of tricks. Spies and sabotage. Recent Russian sabotage operations across Europe were “reckless”, Moore said,…

The pair met in 2016, got engaged in 2019 and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020 Distance made Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s hearts grow fonder.

New York. 23/6. With the clock ticking on when he must report to prison, former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon on Friday threw in an emergency motion to the Supreme Court to hold off his sentence. The high court asked prosecutors to respond to Bannon’s application by Wednesday afternoon. Bannon’s motion comes after a federal judge ruled he must begin his four-month prison sentence on July 1.

Shares in Donald Trump’s media company soared as the firm made its formal debut on the stock market. Shares surged past $70 in early trade, giving the firm a market value of more than $9bn.

A Pole, a German, a Frenchmen, and a Swiss meet in a bar, or was it a Swiss, a French, a German, and a Slovak, I forgot. However, what otherwise sounded like the beginning of a quirky joke was in fact an informal luncheon by some of the brightest analysts of the European Union in early December last year. Nationalities aside, the topic of the lunch was, of course, the Ukraine. The basic question was simple, Are We at War? Will Russia win? What’s the consequence for Europe if Russia wins? What is the European Union willingness to defend the…

Former US President Donald Trump has suggested he will not participate in the first Republican debate. Trump took to his own social media platform Thursday to suggest that he does not need to attend the highly-anticipated public showdown because of his sizable lead among Republican candidates. “ALL AMERICANS have been clamoring for a President of extremely High Intelligence. As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a ‘wonderful’ field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary,” he said on Truth Social. Noting that he is leading the runner-up candidate over 50 points, Trump said: “Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others.…
