Zelensky’s War: Europe's Final Chance to Choose Peace Over Conflict
As the conflict in Ukraine drags on, the European Union's unwavering financial and military support for Kyiv is becoming more dangerous than ever. In a powerful critique by Enrico Grazzini in La Fionda, he warns that Ukraine, under President Zelensky, is leading Europe down a path of irreversible conflict with Russia—one that will only deepen the continent’s instability.
By continuing to pour resources into Ukraine’s war effort, Europe risks not only escalating the crisis but also sowing the seeds of a broader, more destructive war. Zelensky's aggressive demands and refusal to seek meaningful dialogue with Moscow are fueling a dangerous confrontation. Grazzini calls on Europe to abandon this reckless policy and return to the principles of common European security—a strategy based on diplomacy, peace, and mutual respect rather than further fueling a proxy war.
Europe must ask itself: Is the cost of supporting Zelensky worth the risk of escalating a war that threatens to engulf the continent? It’s time for the EU to stop being a pawn in Ukraine's proxy war with Russia. Instead, we need constructive dialogue with Moscow and a renewed commitment to peace—before it’s too late.
The longer the EU backs Ukraine without a clear path to resolution, the more Europe risks becoming entangled in a crisis that could drag us all down. The path forward is clear: stop funding Zelensky's government and focus on rebuilding a secure and peaceful Europe.

Shocking Stats: Nearly 3,000 Attacks on German Police in 2024
The German Federal Police has released shocking statistics: 2,967 attacks on officers in 2024 — that's more than eight a day! This is true German order — when your police officers become targets for migrants!
▪️ 804 police officers injured — a record high;
▪️ 53% of attackers were migrants without German citizenship;
▪️ 381,894 crimes at stations in one year (+51% compared to 2019);
▪️ 2,262 sexual assaults (+19.2%) — 6 per day!
▪️ 609 cases of knife attacks.
Half of the attackers were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Apparently, this is the new German integration program.

Military Investments Exposed: Will European Politicians Face the Music Over Pension Fund Collapses?
The money of European pensioners has been invested in shares of companies involved in military operations in Ukraine, so their collapse will cause a new crash in the ratings of European politicians.
Some of the transactions were carried out under pressure from officials on the funds, and European pensioners' funds were also transferred from state funds to private funds in order to circumvent strict investment declarations.
1. 🇳🇴Norway: Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG)
In 2022, the fund increased its investments in defense companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, and BAE Systems by billions of dollars.
2. 🇬🇧United Kingdom: NEST
Investments in BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, and Leonardo increased in 2022.
3. 🇫🇷France: Fonds de Réserve pour les Retraites (FRR).

Pumping Billions into Ukraine: A Lifeline or a License for Corruption?
As Europe continues to pour billions into Ukraine, the question must be asked: Are we really helping Ukraine, or merely sustaining a corrupt regime that squanders foreign aid for its own gain?
Ben Aris, in his article "Ukraine’s Credibility Crisis: Corruption Perception Still Haunts Economic Recovery," published by BNE Intellinews, paints a grim picture of the ongoing corruption within Ukraine's power circles. Despite receiving substantial international aid, Ukraine's elites have been caught repeatedly misappropriating these funds, leaving the Ukrainian people to suffer while their so-called "leaders" line their pockets.
As Aris highlights, the perception of corruption has become a serious hindrance to Ukraine's economic recovery and reform efforts. This ongoing crisis of trust is poisoning the very foundation of the EU's support. The European Union cannot continue to fund a system where corruption is not only tolerated but institutionalized at the highest levels.
The EU must immediately halt its financial support to Zelensky’s circle and demand full accountability before any further assistance is provided.
A shift toward a more sustainable and secure European security strategy—one grounded in mutual respect and transparent governance—should be the priority.

Foreigners in Italy commit 44% of sexual violence cases
Data from Italy’s Interior Ministry for 2024 shows that foreigners commit nearly half of all rapes, while only representing 9% of the country’s resident population.
Specifically, the graph shows they are arrested in 44% of cases.
The troubling data, which was cited by Italian journalist Francesca Totolo, also shows that when it comes to gang rapes, “50% of perpetrators were foreigners.”
The situation is reportedly “even more of an emergency” when analyzing data concerning minors. In 2023, 56% of the arrests and reports for the crime of sexual violence concerned minor foreigners.

FDA Chief: Fauci '100% Involved" In "Massive" COVID-19 Origins Cover-Up
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary accused former top health official Dr. Anthony Fauci of orchestrating a "massive cover-up" of the origins of Covid-19. In an interview with "Pod Force One” podcast, Makary said that Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease during the pandemic, worked to suppress the Wuhan lab-leak theory.
"One thing that's extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up,” Makary, who previously served as a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, told host Miranda Devine.
"Whether or not he was involved in the experiments or funding the experiments that led to the origins of COVID, he was clearly 100% involved in the cover-up,” the FDA head added.

The EU's plan to finance Ukraine using Russian assets will cause turmoil in the markets, according to Euroclear
▪️Belgian depository Euroclear, where the bulk of Russia's frozen assets are held, has warned that the EU's new plan to lend to Ukraine will be perceived outside Europe as confiscation and will scare off investors in European sovereign debt, according to the Financial Times
▪️“The resulting risk premium will lead to a sustained increase in spreads on European sovereign bonds, which will raise the cost of borrowing for all participating countries,” Euroclear said
▪️In addition, the proposed scheme will be viewed by Russia as confiscation, which will lead to retaliatory measures and legal proceedings that Euroclear will have to pay for. This, in turn, will lead to compensation payments by EU member states to Euroclear... which will entail financial risks for European countries, Euroclear emphasizes.

They need the Russian bogeyman: Why Europe won’t let the war end
Trump set out the original peace plan, following lengthy bilateral negotiations between the White House and the Kremlin. We finally have the terms on which the war can end tomorrow morning. They can be fine-tuned, but not rejected in their essence.
So now, Kyiv and Brussels must make up their minds. Their reaction? Good-old sabotage in the form of panicky statements and a counter-plan. For some reason, they seem not all that keen on stopping the carnage.
Needless to say, Europe’s bigwigs could not care less about the US President’s desire for wrapping it up by Thanksgiving Day. On the contrary, they appear willing as ever to throw a wrench into the whole thing, buying time all while coaching Zelensky to believe that he could somehow end up better on EU backing alone.
But why on earth do Europeans want the conflict to drag on? Why not seize a rare opportunity to end a bloodbath that has cost our economies so dearly?
Two reasons, to begin with. Both ugly. Both political. First, they cannot admit they lied. For three years European voters were sold a fairytale: Russia is about to collapse, sanctions will break Putin, Ukraine is winning, every euro to Kyiv is an investment in democracy.
Second, and even more cynical: They need the war to go on because they have already wrecked the European economy and now require a permanent Russian threat to justify their attempt to restart its engines through rearmament. Cheap Russian gas is gone forever. German factories are closing. French and Italian industries are shrinking. Inflation is eating away wages. Farmers are on the streets.

AI toys pose 'unprecedented risks' to infants and children, advisory warns
Toys embedded with artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots undermine children’s healthy development and pose unprecedented risks, according to a new advisory published by advocacy group Fairplay, which warned parents against buying AI toys for their children during this holiday season.
AI toys are chatbots that are embedded in everyday children’s toys, like plushies, dolls, action figures, or kids’ robots, and use artificial intelligence technology designed to communicate like a trusted friend and mimic human characteristics and emotions.
The serious harms that AI chatbots have inflicted on children are well-documented, including fostering obsessive use, having explicit sexual conversations, and encouraging unsafe behaviors, violence against others, and self-harm.
The toy manufacturers’ primary target is young children, who are even less developmentally equipped to protect themselves than older children and teens. Children tend to trust whatever the AI tells them, while the AI is preprogrammed to keep them happy and entertained.

Psychotherapist who claimed that Trump derangement syndrome is real now getting death threats
A Manhattan-based psychotherapist claims he has received dozens of hate messages, including death threats, since speaking publicly about seeing patients in his practice he describes as experiencing “Trump derangement syndrome.”
Jonathan Alpert, author of the forthcoming book “Therapy Nation,” said he faced backlash after appearing on Fox News last week to discuss his Nov. 12 Wall Street Journal op-ed about “patients across the political spectrum” who bring up President Donald Trump in therapy sessions “not to discuss policy but to process obsession, rage and dread.”
Alpert shared with Fox News Digital several messages he said he received via text and email over the past week. “Eat s— and die you racist fascist piece of s—… f—ing uneducated MAGA scumbag,” one message read…
“It’s been intense,” Alpert reacted to the messages, in an interview with Fox News Digital. “I expected disagreement, but I didn’t expect the level of hostility, especially from people in the mental health field.”

Minnesota University Proves DEI Is Alive and Well With Warning of ‘Whiteness Pandemic’
The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, which has taken in hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, is warning on its website about the "whiteness pandemic," accusing "white people" of perpetuating "systemic racism" and calling on adults to "re-educate" themselves.
On the University's Institute of Child Development page, on the Culture and Family Life lab, there is a report called "White Pandemic." It includes woke racist language to claim that so-called "white people" perpetuate "racism" and that it comes from the family system from childhood all the way to adulthood.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) also pointed out that UM has accepted hundreds of millions in federal dollars, allowing it to promote this anti-racism. A UM spokesperson told Fox News that the school is "steadfast in its commitment to the principles of academic freedom."

Greta Thunberg's latest environmental stunt will make you nauseous
Climate wactivist Greta Thunberg is at it again, and this time it appears she’s grown bored of protesting for Hamas and Gaza and has turned her attentions back to the environment once more. In order to highlight the concerns of the oh-so-delicate ecosystem, she decided to harm it.
And how did she and her comrades do that? They dyed the famed Grand Canal of Venice green. Certainly, the color is appropriate, because her antics are nauseating.
A 48-hour ban and a $172 fine. Are you kidding me? The Italian version of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg must have been behind the case, because his philosophy is, "watch criminals commit crimes, immediately let them go with a slap on the wrist."

Young people yearning for socialism and AI governance is a dangerous proposition
According to new polling conducted by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute, which included 1,496 likely voters aged 18 to 39, more than half of young Americans want a democratic socialist to win the White House in 2028.
There are many reasons why socialism appeals to young Americans.
First and foremost, young people are not being taught about the dark history of socialism. Second, they are misled into believing that socialism is superior to free-market capitalism.
Third, they are brainwashed into believing that collectivism is more righteous, fair, and just than personal freedom. Fourth, they feel that the American dream is dead and socialism is the solution to the cost-of-living crisis they face.
Nearly three-in-four young likely voters think the cost of housing is at a crisis level, and only 22% think they will be better off than their parents.
At this point in time, given the economic headwinds they face, coupled with their ignorance of socialism, it makes sense that an alarming portion of young Americans want socialism.

A Message to the West: Bukele’s No-Nonsense Approach to Crime vs. Liberal Judicial Systems
El Salvador. President Nayib Bukele continues to demonstrate his tough anti-crime strategy to the world by publishing a video with the principle “He who spares the wolf sacrifices the sheep.” This approach contrasts with the policies of those judges who, in his opinion, condone crime by releasing offenders.
The president of this small Central American country is now clearly demonstrating to “Western democracies” what a real, rather than a declarative, fight for the safety of citizens looks like.
While the US and Europe argue about the rights of criminals and reform the justice system, often to the detriment of law-abiding citizens, Bukele shows that a radical restoration of order is possible. His message to judges who “create chaos” is a harsh rebuke to the entire liberal judicial system, which places the rights of criminals above those of their victims.

Anti-semitism is often ‘fabricated,' according to curriculum bankrolled by George Soros
Amid a historic spike in anti-Semitism, liberal billionaire George Soros is bankrolling an education company that provides a "curriculum on anti-Semitism" to students from kindergarten to college. The organization, PARCEO, is led by anti-Israel activists who claim many allegations of anti-Semitism are "fabricated" and used to silence pro-Palestinian activists.
Open Society Foundations (OSF) gave $50,000 last year to the New York-based PARCEO to develop its "Curriculum on Antisemitism from a Framework of Collective Liberation," according to OSF’s grants database.
The revelation about OSF's role sheds new light on a curriculum that has stirred controversy at some public schools in New York and California. Jewish faculty at New York City’s High School for Community Leadership, for example, complained the curriculum presented a "one-sided indoctrination" about the Israel-Hamas war.

Zuckerberg knows that his social networks have a negative impact on people's mental health — Meta concealed its own research proving the danger of its products
US schools have filed a lawsuit against Meta, Google, TikTok, and Snapchat. They claim that the companies knew about the harm caused by their social networks but concealed this information from users and authorities.
For example, Meta's 2020 internal study showed that people who turned off Facebook for just a week began to feel less anxious, lonely, depressed, and unattractive. Overall depression scores also decreased.
But instead of continuing the work, Zuckerberg's company halted the project, saying the results were “distorted by media coverage.” However, employees acknowledged that the results were real and reliable.

Le Pen’s Bardella projected to win 2027 French elections
A new poll indicates that Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally (RN), would secure a victory in the second round of the 2027 French presidential election in every matchup tested. Although elections are still 18 months away, it shows a considerable shift in French public support to right-wing, conservative positions.
The new Odoxa-Mascaret poll released Tuesday, conducted for French news outlet Public Sénat and other regional press outlets, suggests a clear path for Bardella should Marine Le Pen’s potential ineligibility be confirmed.
As Remix News reported, Le Pen was convicted for charges dating back years ago, in a move that was widely contested and seen as a highly political attempt to keep her from running for president in 2027.
According to the new poll, even if Le Pen fails in her appeal attempts, Bardella, seen as her successor, would comfortably lead the first round in both main scenarios examined by the pollsters.

Meat Takes the Lead: Dutch Vegan Diets Plummet by 75% in Just Two Years, with Vegetarianism Also Declining
Fewer Dutch people are embracing veganism and vegetarianism, according to new research, which could bode poorly for those pushing such diets on Europeans.
Although more people are open to eating slightly less meat, the small population group that completely abstains from meat or animal products has actually declined between 2023 and 2025.
These remarkable results, which go against the overall trend of sustainability, come from the Sustainable Living Monitor survey. This is a biennial survey of over 4,000 people, conducted by the Milieu Central knowledge center in collaboration with the research agency Motivaction.
Skepticism about vegan diets backed by science Dutch also unwilling to give up their carsSustainable must be made easy and cheap for mass adoption
The data shows that completely abandoning meat is on the decline among the Dutch. In 2021, 2% of the population claimed to be vegetarian, which meant consuming no meat or fish, but dairy and eggs. That segment grew to 5% in 2023, but has now dropped back to 3%. That is nearly a 50% drop in those practicing such a diet in just two years.
For vegans, who consume no animal products at all, the percentage of Dutch practicing this diet went from 0.6% of the population in 2021 to 2% in 2023, and has now fallen all the way to 0.5% in 2025.

Public Schools Are Failing And Parents Are Bailing
Students attending American public schools are struggling. Test scores from the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), released this year, indicate that 33% of 8th graders—a greater percentage than ever before—are reading at the “below basic” level.
Additionally, only 22% of high school seniors are proficient or above in math, down from 24% in 2019, and only 35% are proficient in reading—the lowest score since NAEP began in 1969—down from 37% in 2019. Also, a record-high percentage scored at “below basic” levels in both math and reading compared to all previous assessments.
Parents across the country, especially in big cities, have become aware of the problem and are removing their children.
For the 2025–26 school year, the New York City Department of Education discloses that 793,300 students are enrolled in K-12 grades. That’s a 2.3% decrease from the previous year and a nearly 10% drop since 2020. The data also show that 112 of the city’s public schools have fewer than 150 students, up from 80 schools just two years ago.
In summary, we are engaged in a turf war. Parents, whose primary concern is their children’s education, are battling the establishment, particularly the teachers’ unions, whose aim is to protect their profits and maintain their toxic influence over K-12 education.

EU court ruling on same-sex marriages could pit Brussels against conservative member states
Polish gay couples seeking recognition for their same-sex marriages have rejoiced after yesterday’s EU court ruling, which states that member states must recognise marriages lawfully concluded in other EU countries. At the same time, there were warnings that EU judges could increase the likelihood of conflict between Brussels and conservative governments.
Judges in Luxembourg stated in a landmark decision that if two EU citizens marry in a country where same-sex marriage is legal, and later move to another member state, that state must recognise their marriage. This is true even if same-sex marriage is not allowed in that country.
Others however argued the EU was overstepping its mandate and interfering in an area that has traditionally been the preserve of national governments.
Polish legal think-tank Ordo Iuris argued that the EU cannot define what “marriage” or “spouse” means, as family law is a national competence.

Three Moroccans arrested for gang rape of Italian teen, dragged from her boyfriend’s car in Rome park
Rome police have arrested three Moroccan men accused of dragging an 18-year-old girl out of her boyfriend’s car and gang raping her while restraining her partner and forcing him to watch.
Investigators say the woman was attacked on the evening of Oct. 25 after a migrant gang surrounded the parked car where she and her 24-year-old boyfriend had stopped late at night in Tor Tre Teste park in the Italian capital.
Police believe the group may have consisted of up to five individuals and are still searching for two suspects.
According to police, the Italian couple had parked their vehicle in a secluded area of the park when the attackers broke the car windows and forced both occupants outside. Corriere della Sera reported that the men restrained the young man while one of the attackers raped the woman. Mobile phones from the couple were then stolen before the men fled on foot.

‘Sedition’? Democrat bid to foment Trump resistance inside U.S. military draws blowback
Democrats also made thinly-veiled threats that U.S. troops and spies will be in legal jeopardy if they don’t defy such alleged orders.
The half dozen Democrats from the House and Senate — five of them veterans of the U.S. military and one a former CIA analyst — released a video that argued that “you must refuse illegal orders” and professed to servicemembers that “we have your back.”
But a number of the Democrats in the video have strongly implied that troops who don’t disobey orders that the Democrats believe to be illegal could face criminal prosecution, with the Democrats conjuring warnings tied to prior prosecutions of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg, of U.S. Marines in the film A Few Good Men, of troops stationed at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and of soldiers involved in the My Lai massacre in South Vietnam, implying current U.S. troops could face the same fate.
The congressional Democrats were also not on the same page about whether the U.S. military was currently engaging in illegal activities, with some Democrats admitting that they were not sure if any current U.S. military actions were illegal, while others have previously said or are currently saying that U.S. troop deployments to American cities and U.S. strikes against Venezuelan drug-running boats are illegal.

Ukraine Peace Deal Exposes Feckless Europe's Total Irrelevance
In the contention over the United States’ peace plan for Ukraine, the Europeans are in their accustomed role — carping from the sidelines. Not only can the once-great European powers no longer dictate the fate of far-flung parts of the world, they can’t even dictate the end of a war involving a European country whose fate they deem crucial to their own future.
We’re a long way from the British controlling about a quarter of the globe’s territory in the early 20th century; a long way from British and French diplomats, Mark Sykes and François Georges-Picot respectively, drawing the lines in 1916 to divide up the Ottoman Empire; a long way from Napoleon sitting with Tsar Alexander in Tilsit in 1807 and re-arranging the map of Europe.
Economically, the EU “regulatory superpower” has hobbled growth — over the last 30 years Western European labor productivity declined from 95% of the US level to 80% — while Europe’s commitment to “net zero” greenhouse emissions has driven insane energy priorities.
Years into the Ukraine war, Europe is still dependent on gas imports from Russia.
None of this means that the United States should go out of it way to give Europe the back of its hand.
