Ukraine Asked Western Allies to Start WW3 by Attacking Iran and Syria

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Guardian reported this week that Ukraine asked its “Western allies”—i.e., the United States—to bomb Iran and Syria, where factories manufacturing drones for Russia are located.

Citing a document Kiev submitted to the G7 in August, The Guardian reported that Iranian kamikaze drones have been used in the recent attacks on Ukrainian cities.  Iran has diversified its production through a Syrian factory, according to the report, which focused on how the Russian drones also have Western parts.

According to the Kiev document, Ukraine suggested that its Western allies conduct “missile strikes on the production plants of these UAVs in Iran, Syria, as well as on a potential production site in the Russian federation.”

The document further stated: “The above may be carried out by the Ukrainian defence forces if partners provide the necessary means of destruction.”

Such actions would mark the beginning of World War 3. Luckily for those who don’t want this, The Guardian reported that the West would “probably baulk” at Ukraine’s suggestions.

However, conflict between the West and Russia and its allies has still been increasing in recent years.

As antiwar.com’s Dave DeCamp noted, Israel has frequently launched airstrikes in Syria and covert attacks inside Iran—though that’s been happening long before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine has also conducted numerous drone strikes on Russian territory since Russia’s invasion in Feburary 2022.

In May, Ukraine reportedly tried to assassinate Vladimir Putin with a drone attack on the Kremlin.

Russia’s government reportedly called the attack an act of terrorism, and said it reserves the right to retaliate “anywhere and anytime it deems necessary.”

“We consider this a preplanned terrorist action and an attempt against the Russian president,” the Kremlin said at the time, according to Russia Today. The incident happened “ahead of Victory Day and the parade on May 9, when foreign guests plan to be present.”

May 9 is the date Nazi Germany was officially defeated in 1945.

What’s Happening in Ohio? Over 1,000 Kids Missing in 2023

What’s Happening in Ohio? Over 1,000 Kids Missing in 2023

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) More than 1,000 children have been reported missing in Ohio so far in 2023, including nearly 50 in Cleveland in this month alone.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the number of children reported missing in Ohio is roughly double of that reported in states with similar populations.

Police say most of the missing children are likely runaways, but they’re nevertheless struggling to manage the uptick in reports. Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy said earlier this year that cases of missing children between the ages of 12 and 17 remained unusually high.

“For some reason, in 2023 we’ve seen a lot more than we normally see, which is troubling in part because we don’t know what’s going on with some of these kids—whether they’re being trafficked or whether they’re involved in gang activity or drugs,” Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy reportedly said earlier this year.

But while claiming that the majority of cases are likely runaways and not abductions, Majoy reportedly warned that teenagers are naïve when it comes to predators—who, he said, can be “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

Majoy added that he has never seen such high numbers of missing children in his 33-year-career.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, for his part, acknowledged he was worried about the inflated numbers but blamed them on inconsistencies in updating reports.

“Now, what we know is when we look behind the numbers, some of those represent repeated runaways and local police have talked about that,” he said.

“I am fearful of all kinds of things that fall through the cracks, that include missing children,” Yost added. “I rely on the tenacity of a worried parent more than I do a harried bureaucrat whose job it is to put data into a computer.”

Police in Cleveland, where much of the problem is centered, have reportedly ignored interview requests about the matter with local media.

A dying and hollowed out city, Cleveland has frequently been the subject of child- and female-kidnapping stories in recent years.

The most prominent example of this were the Ariel Castro kidnappings, in which Cleveland man Castro kidnapped three women from the streets and held them captive in his basement for about 10 years.

The women—Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus—were rescued in 2013 by Castro’s neighbor, Charles Ramsey.

Additionally, Jeffrey Epstein’s benefactor, Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner, lives in Columbus, Ohio. Some original Epstein victims, including Maria Farmer, lived on Wexner’s property in the 1990s.

Trump Exposes Nikki Haley’s Admiration for Hillary Clinton

Trump Exposes Nikki Haley’s Admiration for Hillary Clinton

(Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump went after fellow GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley this week, tying her to his 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

In an email titled “The Real Nikki Haley,” Trump reminded his supporters that Haley once praised Clinton as an “inspiration.”

“The reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton,” Haley said in the 2012 New York Times piece.

Trump has used variations of the email several times, dating back since at least February of this year, but sent an expanded version that highlighted some of his former United Nations ambassador’s remarks from the Wednesday night debate.

The email also attacked Haley as “weak on immigration,” and pointed to her aggressive support for continued U.S. funding in the Ukraine conflict.

“Instead of Finding a Peaceful Solution to the Ukraine–Russia War, Haley Has Supported Sending More American Fighter Planes to Fuel the War,” the email said.

Haley’s campaign wrote off Trump’s rebuke, saying, “I guess Donald Trump feels threatened by Nikki Haley,” her press secretary, Ken Farnaso, told CBS News.

Haley has made foreign policy a central component of her campaign, arguing that Trump no longer has the right instincts.

“[Trump] used to be good on foreign policy, and now he has started to walk it back and get weak in the knees when it comes to Ukraine,” Haley said at a Portsmouth Rotary Club meeting in New Hampshire last week.

She reiterated this point during the second GOP debate on Wednesday, arguing Trump’s singular focus on the U.S.–China trade relationship betrayed his inexperience on the world stage.

“This is where President Trump went wrong,” Haley said Wednesday evening in Simi Valley. “He focused on trade with China. He didn’t focus on the fact that they were buying up our farmland. He didn’t focus on the fact that they were killing Americans.”

It is unclear in what context Haley was referring to with the latter accusation; however, Trump regularly criticized China’s culpability for “killing Americans” with the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time when few others were willing to publicly cast blame on the Asian superpower.

Several recent polls have found Haley surging among Republican primary voters in South Carolina and New Hampshire, as well as among independents across the country. One poll even found her beating President Joe Biden in a hypothetical general election match-up.

The same poll found Trump beating Biden by a whopping 10 points.

Trump, who remains the frontrunner in the GOP primary by a margin of more than 50 points, opted to skip Wednesday night’s Fox-News-hosted debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, instead holding a rally in Michigan with members of the striking United Auto Workers union.

Many declared him the winner of the lackluster debate for his decision not to attend.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein Voted Day Before She Died

Sen. Dianne Feinstein Voted Day Before She Died

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has reportedly died at the age of 90.

While becoming America’s longest-serving U.S. Senator, Feinstein had a negative impact on the country in terms of protecting individual liberty.

Feinstein was a leading proponent of gun-control measures in Congress, as well as a number of environmental restrictions. And when it mattered most, Feinstein abandoned her liberal principles—voting for catastrophes such as the Iraq War.

Her finest moment might have been spearheading the congressional investigation into the CIA’s torture program in the early years of the Obama administration. During her investigation, it was revealed that the CIA was spying on Feinstein’s office—setting off a bipartisan scandal.

However, no one in Obama’s CIA was held responsible for the incident. Moreover, the full unredacted Senate torture report remains classified.

“It’s my strong belief that one day this report should be declassified,” Feinstein said of the report, though she never did anything to ensure that it would see the light of day.

Feinstein had been frequently hospitalized towards the end of her life, including last month.

And according to the Citizen Free Press, she voted the day before she died.

“She was marked as a ‘yes’ vote on the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act,” the news outlet said.

Feinstein has had memory and cognition troubles for years, but her health has come under intense scrutiny in recent months. She missed months of crucial votes on judicial nominees in the Senate earlier this year due to a shingles diagnosis, leading several of her colleagues to call on her to resign.

After her latest hospitalization, longtime political journalist George Skelton, a Feinstein fan, proposed a “great” idea he heard from a reader.

The remedy: “Feinstein could resign from the Senate and Gov. Gavin Newsom could appoint Harris to replace her. Biden then could find a more popular running mate, one more acceptable to voters as a potential successor,” Skelton said.

But despite the troubling signs, Democratic leadership stood by her. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., recently said she is “doing well.”

Democratic leadership’s silence on the issue led some to speculate that protecting Feinstein was a part of the plan to put Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., in the Senate. Schiff is one of several House Democrats seeking Feinstein’s seat and has already won over the backing of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Senile Biden Bizarrely Refers to D-Day as ‘Insurrection’

Senile Biden Bizarrely Refers to D-Day as ‘Insurrection’

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President Joe Biden, known for his diverse array of talents, including allegedly advising his siblings on setting up shell companies to receiving bribes from foreign governments, has recently added another feather to his cap: that of a historian.

During a recent Arizona speech in honor of late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the 81-year-old president bewildered many as he appeared to refer to the historic D-Day as an “insurrection.” Who would’ve thought?

“From the speech I made at Gettysburg, an Inaugural Address, to the anniversary of the June 6th insurrection,” Biden began, before adding, “Or January 6th insurrection, to Independence Hall in Philadelphia — to the speech I made at Union Station in Washington, I’ve spoken about the danger of election denialism, political violence, and the battle for the soul of America.” 

D-Day, which took place on June 6, 1944, marked a turning point in history, igniting the liberation of France and later Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control.  

However, Biden, who has an entire team of White House staffers to ensure that he doesn’t trip over his own steps, appeared to have confused Jan. 6 with June 6, despite reading straight from a teleprompter. 

Biden’s faux pas of D-Day came in the wake of his international allies, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, delivering a standing ovation to a former Nazi veteran and later apologizing for it.

Additionally, this would not be the first time Biden came under fire for his failed attempt at revisionist history. On the 22nd memorial of Sept. 11, Biden falsely claimed he was present on Ground Zero the day of the terrorist attack in 2001.

Just a week prior, Biden faced scathing criticism from U.S. veterans for opting to take a trip to Alaska and not the Pentagon or New York City to commemorate those who died on Sept. 11.

In another incident from earlier this month, during a ceremony honoring a Medal of Honor recipient, Biden abruptly left the room even before the closing benediction. 

Perhaps the most notable gaffe occurred during the arrival of the bodies of 13 servicemembers killed in Kabul, where an impatient Biden was caught on video checking his watch—a move that sparked intense criticism.

Biden Appoints Anti-Cop Activist as Leader of White House Gun Violence Office

Biden Appoints Anti-Cop Activist as Leader of White House Gun Violence Office

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Joe Biden has appointed a former leftist activist who decried larger police budgets in the wake of the George Floyd crime wave as a leader of Biden’s anti-gun violence initiative.

On Sept. 22, 2023, Biden launched the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to “combat the epidemic of gun violence that is tearing our families, our communities and our country apart,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.

The Biden administration announced Greg Jackson as the leader of the leftist initiative. Jackson is the former executive director of the left-wing Community Justice Action Fund.

Throughout his career, Jackson has been attacking police departments and their budgets, including in January 2021 when he said during the University of Maryland policing seminar that he is “struggling to survive while… police budgets thrive.”

In addition to that, Jackson participated in a 2021 Obama Foundation webinar that was titled “Re Imagining Policing,” during which he suggested that people should use “community-led violence intervention and prevention strategies” instead of traditional law enforcement, adding that the goal is to “ultimately reduce the need for policing.”

Before Biden’s announcement, the Community Justice Action Fund conveniently removed all information about Jackson from its website. However, the Internet Archive helped to reveal that the leftist organization was constantly opposing the increased funding for law enforcement.

The organization that happened to be a project of the George Soros-backed Tides Foundation wrote an open letter — now deleted from the website — in 2020, in which it outlined principles, among which were the demands that governments “divest from aggressive policing” and “acknowledge that Black Lives Matter.”

Among the leftist groups who signed the letter were the National Black Justice Coalition and the American Federation of Teachers.

Aside from pushing the anti-police narrative, the organization also talked about other political issues as well, such as immigration.

The Beacon wrote that a founding member of the Community Justice Action Fund called on the Senate to block provisions in a background check bill that would report illegal immigrants who attempt to purchase a firearm to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Is Letitia James Trying to Live Rent-Free in Trump’s Penthouse?

Is Letitia James Trying to Live Rent-Free in Trump’s Penthouse?

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In a controversial ruling, the New York State Supreme Court found that former President Donald Trump had allegedly inflated the value of his properties, potentially placing the iconic Trump Tower in the hands of the radical state’s attorney general.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who had made it her goal to prosecute Trump since her early campaign days, could soon cherry-pick whether to take $250 million from Trump or perhaps seize his properties, including his famous Manhattan penthouse, the New York Times reported on Thursday. 

The pre-trial ruling, delivered by liberal Justice Arthur Engoron, marks the first time a case against Trump has gone to trial, and it has sparked allegations from several Republicans who claim that it’s part of a politically motivated witch hunt 

The legal showdown began when James, as a Democrat candidate for attorney general, promised to take down Trump‘s businesses upon taking office. “I look forward to going into the office of attorney general every day, suing [Trump], defending your rights and then going home,” James pledged in a 2018 video.

Trump took to Truth Social to express his irritation against the pre-trial ruling. “The widespread attack against me, my family, and my supporters has devolved to new, un-American depths, at the hands of a DERANGED New York State Judge, doing the bidding of a completely biased and corrupt ‘Prosecutor,’ Letitia James,” Trump stated. 

“This is Democrat Political Lawfare, and a Witch Hunt at a level never seen before. It is an attempt to badly injure the opposing Party’s Leading, by far, Political Candidate,” he added. 

Trump’s legal team sought to delay the trial by filing an appeal against Justice Engoron, arguing that he had ignored an appeals court decision earlier in the case. These efforts, however, were rejected by a New York appeals court. 

As reported by the Times, Justice Engoron has given the involved parties ten days to identify who will assume control of the Trump Organization’s businesses, placing nearly a dozen Trump properties in jeopardy.

Trump Won’t Attend Any Future GOP Presidential Debates, Campaign Says

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Donald Trump’s spokesman has confirmed that the leading Republican presidential candidate doesn’t have any plans to attend any future Republican presidential debates after skipping the first two events.

After the Sept. 27, 2023 GOP presidential debate, Chris LaCivita, a senior adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign, confirmed his decision, according to the Epoch Times.

“He said he’s not going to attend the debates, plural. And that’s his position—until it’s not,” LaCivita said, adding that the debates became a contest for “who’s going to be the designated survivor.”

Among those who participated in the last presidential debate were Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, R-Ohio, former Gov. Nikki Haley, R-S.C., former Vice President Mike Pence, R-Ind., Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., former Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J. and Gov. Doug Burgum, R-N.D.

Former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., did not appear at the debate because he failed to meet the qualifications.

Trump made a decision to not attend the second debate that took place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., because he is currently leading in national polls, instead choosing to give a speech to blue-collar workers in a northern suburb of Detroit, including current and former members of the United Auto Workers [UAW] union.

As expected, Republican candidates who attended the debate criticized Trump for not attending the debate. Among the critics were DeSantis, who accused him of being “missing in action,” and Christie who branded Trump “Donald Duck.”

However, LaCivita said that the current attacks are pointless since Trump’s decision to not attend the debate would do little to sway Americans’ votes.

“I don’t know of one candidate that was on that stage tonight that pushed a thematic or a message that should convince Republican primary voters why they should abandon Donald Trump,” LaCivita said.

The third Republican presidential debate will take place in Miami on Nov. 8, 2023.

Dems Go Gaga for Rising Star More Partisan than AOC

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Democratic Party has found a new star in freshman Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, whose unhinged and profanity-laden defense of bribery allegations against President Joe Biden has gone viral, with some treating it as if it was the Gettysburg Address.

In the widely shared, Crockett defended the scandal-plagued president during an impeachment inquiry hearing by claiming that Biden’s only crime was “loving his child unconditionally” and not taking bribes from an Ukrainian gas company or interfering in the criminal investigation of Hunter.

Crockett, who represents Texas’s mostly-black and majority-Democrat 30th Congressional District, drew attention to former President Donald Trump. “These are our national secrets, looks like in the s***ter to me,” she claimed while pointing to photos of Mar-a-Lago. 

Conservative critics did not mince their words in response to the speech, which was marked by the Texas lawmaker’s strong tone and abrasive defense of both Biden and Hunter. 

Political commentator Tim Young sarcastically remarked, “Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett sounds like she’s arguing whether or not someone is the baby’s father on Maury. Both in tone and lack of evidence.” Young’s remarks referred to the now-cancelled tabloid talk show hosted by Maury Povich.

Trending News co-founder Collin Rugg, co-founder of Trending Politics chimed in. “We elect some of the dumbest people to Congress,” Rugg said. “What Crockett didn’t mention was how Joe Biden’s own son admitted that he was forced to pay his father.”

The conservative backlash and memes did not deter Crockett from celebrating her apparent viral victory, taking to Twitter to beg for political donations. “Y’all know I had to. And we still need help to take back the house from this McCarthy shutdown,” she posted on several tweets while also attaching a link to her campaign webpage. 

Crockett has also found support among the radical left on Twitter. Occupy Democrats, a left-leaning page, known for its false information, thanked her for “standing up for all of us and against the #ExtremeRepublicanShutdown!” 

Twitter personality Mike Sington praised her for apparently putting “the Republicans in their place,” and the Anti-Trump PAC MeidasTouch also commended Crockett, stating that she “deserved a standing ovation” after running cover for Biden.

Biden Family Tried to Help Chinese Firm to Buy U.S. Energy Assets, James Biden Said

Biden Family Tried to Help Chinese Firm to Buy U.S. Energy Assets, James Biden Said

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Joe Biden’s brother, James, told the FBI that his corrupt family unsuccessfully tried to help a Chinese Communist Party-linked company as part of a lucrative business deal.

The Biden family wanted to help the company buy key U.S. energy assets, even though they knew that the firm’s leader is tied directly to Communist Chinese President Xi Jinping, Slay News reported.

“James [Biden] noted [Hunter] portrayed CEFC to him as Chairman Ye was a protégé of President Xi,” FBI agents said.

Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., responded to the revelation by issuing a fiery response, in which he blasted Joe as a “traitor” for pursuing the deal.

“It just means it’s even worse than even I thought it was that they would go that far… I don’t understand how much more of a traitor you could be than to do such a thing,” Scott said.

The GOP also revealed that Hunter referred to his father as “my family’s only asset.”

Hunter made the reference in June 2017 while discussing his family’s overseas business ventures, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., said.

“It’s plane [sic] f—ing English. Why in gods [sic] name would I give this marginal bully the keys [to] my family’s only asset?” a text message from June 6, 2017 said.

Smith said that these documents helped to see a clearer connection between “Joe Biden, his public office and Hunter Biden’s global influence-peddling scheme that resulted in over $20 million in payments to the Biden family,” in addition to the information that was already released to the public.

“The evidence shows a pattern of Hunter Biden creating for-profit entities to shield at least $20 million from foreign sources from taxes and hide the trail of payments that led to members of the Biden family,” Smith said.

He also questioned the corrupt Justice Department and Hunter’s sweetheart plea deal.

“The growing body of evidence further calls into question the Justice Department’s attempted sweetheart plea deal for Hunter Biden and the reasons for appointing the architect of that plea deal as the special counsel for Hunter Biden’s case, in light of officials’ efforts to protect President Biden and his son,” Smith said.
