VERY good news for Ukraine: After an entire year of no US support, both the House and the Senate has now passed a military spending bill with an additional 800 million dollars for Ukraine, to be spent as 400 million per year in 2026 and 2027. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-congress-passes-massive-defense-bill-that-includes-support-ukraine-europe-2025-12-17/?taid=694325901b98180001b1d9b2&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

Trump now says that Venezuela has stolen their land from the United States, and it needs to be "returned". This will be Trump's Vietnam. When the US fought the Viet Cong, the population of North Vietnam was 18 million. The population of Venezuela is 31 million. They have Su-30 fighter jets, a military of 337,000 soldiers, and they can mobilize 617,000 more soldiers every year. Venezuela is three times the size of Vietnam. #lebensraum

Heard in Russia: — “Ukraine has sunk the Moskva, they have destroyed the submarine Rostov on Don, they have forced The Black Sea Fleat out of Sevastopol, they have destroyed another submarine in Novorossiysk, and they have disabled multiple Russian oil vessels.” — “That’s incredible! How big is Ukraine’s navy?” — “They don’t even have a navy.” — 😳

Merz will not promise Trump to let the US exploit Russia, when Ukraine wins. But Putin promises Trump to support his exploitation of Ukraine. So for profit, Trump is on team Russia. European leaders know, but no one dares to speak of it. We let the child fantasize about his own grandeur, while in the shadows, weapons are forged. The US has not financed a single bullet in 2025, and yet Ukraine is now taking back land. In the spring, flowers will bloom in Ukraine. May victory bloom with them.

The hero who disarmed a terrorist near Bondi beach has been identified as Mohamed Fateh Al Ahmed. Or as they say… another one of those damn Muslims coming over here with their heroism and intelligent thinking, saving our lives from the terrorists — it must be stopped. Racists, wake up.

Everytime Trump tells a reporter, "You work for the Democrats", the instant reply should be, "No, I work for the democracy, Mr. President".

Next time a hurricane hits the United States, would a White House reporter please ask Trump directly, if all the damages happened because Trump inherited a disastrous climate crisis from Biden? Trump might indeed run with it and reply "yes, the climate is a disaster, and it is because of Biden, and it would never have happened if I were president", and — voila — climate change would finally be recognized by MAGA.

The US Suppreme Court is about to overturn a key 1935 decision to NOT let every new president fire all the experts in every independent agency. Imagine what a loss of expertise it will be for the entire federal system, if Trump gets to replace every expert with another Pete Hegseth type. Ann E. Marimow has the story:

Breaking: 12 people killed and many wounded in a terror attack on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where two male attackers suddenly started shooting with long arms. One attacker has been killed, one was wounded and is in hospital. The attached footage shows a civilian male disarming another person which is likely one of the attackers. The attack came as hundreds of jews were in the area, celebrating Hanukkah.

Elon Musk’s disinformation platform is polluting the information sphere with made up Russian narratives 24/7. This account has 100,000 followers and if you visit The Dead Bird, Musk’s platform will promote it to you — even if you do not follow it. This is not freedom of speech. This is Elon Musk helping Russia reprogram the minds of millions to advance Putin’s agenda and to weaken the democratic resistance.
