BREAKING: Federal judge CRUSHES Trump administration’s unconstitutional Pentagon press crackdown. The Constitution just struck back against the Trump administration. In a powerful ruling, a federal judge has shut down key parts of the Trump administration’s attempt to control and restrict reporters at the Pentagon — declaring the policy unconstitutional and a direct violation of the First Amendment. The Trump administration had tried to force journalists to sign sweeping new rules that would allow the Pentagon to label them “security risks” — and strip their access if they asked the wrong questions. Seriously. Ask too much? Lose your press pass. Refuse to play along? You’re out. And that’s exactly what happened. Dozens of journalists refused to sign the policy — choosing principle over access — and were effectively pushed out, replaced by a wave of pro-Trump outlets and administration-friendly voices. But now, a federal judge has called it exactly what it is: BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The court didn’t just block the policy — it ordered that reporters from The New York Times get their Pentagon access restored, delivering a major blow to an administration effort that critics say was designed to silence tough questions and reward loyal coverage. Even in court, the administration tried to argue that journalists shouldn’t have the right to ask for certain information. The judge’s response? “Why not?” Exactly. Because that’s the whole point of a free press. This wasn’t about “security.” It was about control. Control over who gets to ask questions. Control over what gets reported. Control over the narrative. And for a moment, it worked… until the courts stepped in. This ruling is bigger than one policy. It’s a reminder that the First Amendment isn’t optional — and that attempts to sideline independent journalism won’t go unchallenged. Because in a democracy, the press doesn’t work for the government. The government answers to the press. Please like and share to spread the good news!

Putin underestimated Zelensky, and that played a cruel joke on him. He never considered Zelensky his equal — and still doesn’t. And that is Putin’s main mistake. To this day, Putin sees Zelensky as a comedian, an actor who accidentally won the presidential election. And that is his second mistake. Putin never managed to understand how and when the evolution of Zelensky happened — from comedian to politician, from politician to president, and from president to the leader of the Ukrainian nation. And these changes happened instantly — at 5 a.m. on February 24, 2022. Putin and the Russian intelligence services were convinced that Zelensky would not have the courage to stand up to the Russian army. In Russia, they were counting on his weakness and inexperience. Especially since Putin had an example before his eyes — Viktor Yanukovych, who in 2014 abandoned the country and fled to Russia during the Revolution of Dignity. Zelensky did not do that — he stayed in the president’s chair. The war revealed the true qualities he had all along. Since the beginning of the war, Volodymyr Zelensky has addressed the people every day, often recording these messages on an ordinary smartphone. The background is not always perfect, the lighting is not always good — but the sincerity he shows is worth a great deal. That sincerity is present even in the smallest details. Zelensky is not concerned with how he looks. He is concerned with one thing — to explain, to clarify, to support, and to help people understand his decisions. Putin cannot love anyone; he can only envy, rage, and fear. He was absolutely convinced that a man with as little political experience as Zelensky would not withstand the pressure of the Russian army for long. That Zelensky would be broken by the political situation in the country, economic problems in Ukraine, relentless criticism from bots and opponents, as well as scandals provoked by his enemies, pseudo-friends, and “well-meaning” advisors. None of them could believe that Zelensky had changed — that he had become a true wartime president. That he challenged Putin, who constantly pushed him toward capitulation. But that did not happen and will not happen, because many have already given their lives for Ukraine’s freedom and independence. Time has passed. The war has reached Russia and will soon leave Ukraine. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people have turned Putin into a real old clown, writhing in the arena — but the audience is not laughing. Over the years of the war, Putin has withered and shrunk, visibly declined; his speeches now provoke only confusion and ridicule. This angers him, but the fact remains: the exact opposite has happened to Putin compared to Zelensky — degradation. From the president of a powerful country, he has turned into a joke and a laughingstock. That is how he will remain in history. Even in this humiliation, he is capable of nothing more. And Volodymyr Zelensky will remain a historical figure — and a victorious president.

BREAKING: French General Michel Yakovleff HUMILIATES Trump for begging Europe to get involved in his Iran War, says that it would be like "buying cheap tickets for the Titanic" after it hit the iceberg. This is beyond brutal... "We have five reasons to say no to him, in fact," said Yakovleff. "So, the first one is that he didn't understand that if he wants to carry out a NATO operation, NATO has to take command. So, there will be an American general, but it's a single operation." “You can’t have an American operation where they’re bombing whatever they can and then below that, the Europeans doing something else,” Yakovleff said. “No, no, no, it has to be one sole operation, under a NATO flag. I don’t think he understood that.” Yakovleff served as a three general in the French Army, was commander of the French Foreign Legion, and served in top positions in NATO. He's a highly respected military expert in France and regularly weighs in on issues of international importance. Trump has been pleading with allied nations to get involved in his Iran fiasco. Iranian missiles and drones have made it impossible for oil tankers to obtain insurance to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's petroleum normally passes. Oil prices are skyrocketing. So far, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have refused Trump's request. General Yakovleff went on to point out that Trump's strategic goals, beyond forcing open the strait, are vague and undefined. If NATO nations were even going to consider involvement, they would need the United States to explain explicitly in writing what the goals are. "And it's not tweets, and it's not things that change every two minutes. So, already there, it's going to be necessary for Trump himself to know what he wants," said the general. He said that there's also the issue of the lack of "confidence" in Trump. It's well-known that he regularly abandons his allies and he could do so here immediately after other nations got involved. “He would let us down whenever it suited him," said Yakovleff. He ended his tirade by comparing Trump to the captain of the Titanic trying to "sell cheap tickets" for his voyage "after having hit the iceberg." “And the last argument is American: you don’t reinforce failure. I learnt that at the U.S. Army War College. You don’t reinforce failure, you move on, you find something else.” he added. "So, there are a lot of reasons to say no." Please ❤️ and share if you think that the Iran War is a total disaster!

Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC
As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows: To: His Majesty, Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Realms, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith. Your Majesty, I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled. Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment. For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith. The laws of this land were shaped by it. The liberties of our people were nurtured by it. The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it. From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her. Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them. Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age. Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel. Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation. What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state. It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis. The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge. They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation. Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?” They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled. Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm. History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ. That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity. And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault. If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed. The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long. Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced. For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender. You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours. Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means. They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them. For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it. Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted. May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown. Yours faithfully, Bishop Ceirion H.

Investigating Paralympic athletes for not taking off their caps and turning their backs in protest against the Russians? Maybe you should instead investigate those who allowed Russians to compete there in the first place.

Dear @realDonaldTrump. Your request for allies to step up and defend shipping in the Hormuz is puzzling me. For the past year your administration has been hard at work denigrating and humiliating your closest allies. You’re constantly threatening to impose new tariffs against countries that have supported America in thick and thin for decades. You have turned your back to the conflict that right now concerns most of the free world; Russia’s ongoing attack on Ukraine. Many of us suspect that you’re being soft on Putin because you’re admiring him. Why? And now you’re asking us to help you in a war that you started because your son in law said so? Sorry, but not sorry. America first, the way you’re defining it means that you no longer have friends. It’s up to you to set the world right again.

Something shifted in the last few hours. Most people won't realize until it's too late. Iran has NO intention of winning militarily. None. They figured out something far more dangerous: – The US burns $1 BILLION every single day this war continues – The stock market has lost DOZENS of billions since this started – Recession probability just spiked by 50% Iran is TAUNTING Trump to keep attacking. Not because they can win — because every day he does, America bleeds money. Think about that for a second. A country with a fraction of America's military budget found the one weakness no amount of firepower can fix: The US economy can't afford an endless war. And Iran knows it. 🚨🚨🚨 RT this so others can see what's really going on. 🚨
