The Pavlovian Left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative.

Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump’s latest policy.

Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor.  Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation.

Under the Biden administration, over 10 million illegal aliens flooded the country, sometimes 10,000 a day at the southern border. More than half a million criminals swarmed in.

Yet now there is essentially zero illegal immigration and over 100,000 criminal aliens deported. 1.6 million who entered illegally have voluntarily gone home. Yet the left has fought the enforcement of immigration law tooth and nail.

Do they believe that it is lawful and moral to break immigration law but immoral and illegal to enforce it?

What is their solution?

One of the darkest chapters of Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine will be his regime’s systematic abduction of Ukrainian children.

Last week, first lady Melania Trump delivered a letter to Putin during the Alaska summit, appealing to him on behalf of these children. In it, she reminded the Russian dictator that “every child shares the same quiet dreams in their hearts … of love, possibility and safety from danger.” Her letter avoided politics, but made the clear point that abducting children is an act of barbarism that cannot be tolerated.

Ukraine has documented nearly 20,000 kidnapped children, though the true number could be many times higher.

These boys and girls are not just displaced — they are forced into Russian families, indoctrinated with propaganda, punished for speaking their native tongue, and in some cases subjected to military training. Reports have even exposed online “catalogs” where children are sorted by eye color or hair color for adoption in Russia.

This is not wartime collateral damage, but a deliberate campaign to erase a nation by erasing its children.

The Biden administration placed thousands of illegal alien children in the care of unvetted sponsors, according to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.

The Iowa Republican has released Department of Health and Human Services data showing that during President Joe Biden’s administration, over 11,000 unaccompanied alien children were placed with unvetted sponsors who were not the children’s parents or legal guardians. Additionally, no home visits were conducted for over 79,000 illegal immigrant children.

Moreover, some children were “allowed to be placed with sponsors who were actually smugglers and sex traffickers,” according to the HHS.  “My oversight continues to expose disturbing evidence that the Biden-Harris administration turned a blind eye to tens of thousands of kids who needed proper supervision and care,” Grassley said in a statement.

“It’s appalling to prioritize speed and optics over the safety and well-being of children,” the senator continued.

James Comey, the 64-year-old former FBI director who was one of the most prominent players in the Russia Hoax, outed himself the other day: He’s a Taylor Swift fan, a Swiftie.

And he’s not just someone who says, “Her tunes are catchy.” Oh, no. Comey finds deep meaning in Taylor Swift’s music. It speaks to him—and the fact that it does explains a great deal about the man and his Democrat party politics.

Swift was, and is, what young girls and leftist women want to be: so gorgeous that their emotional mess doesn’t matter. In many ways, Swift is the avatar of a generational ideology that’s stuck in high school and junior high school: emotional, immature, and, when it comes to the girls, incredibly vicious.

Moreover, girls that age are devious, given to backstabbing, whether through truth or lies (but usually through the latter, not the former).

Those traits, incidentally, are the same traits that the Democrat party embraced when Trump was elected: emotional, immature, and incredibly vicious, including embracing partial truths and flat-out lies in their rush to destroy him.

This Friday’s high-stakes meeting between President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Alaska could bring real relief to Ukraine – but only if it stays laser-focused on one goal: an enforceable ceasefire. No redraw of the map. No "land for peace" concessions that reward Moscow’s aggression and punish Ukrainian sovereignty.

A United Front

Over the weekend, Vice President JD Vance convened a secure call with European and Ukrainian officials. The message from allied capitals was blunt: halt the fighting first, then negotiate the rest – without giving up an inch of Ukrainian land. European leaders have repeated it publicly: "Peace cannot be decided without Ukraine".

Why Now Matters

On the ground, the war’s toll is rising. Russia is pushing hard in Donetsk and Luhansk, pounding civilian infrastructure and displacing thousands. Ukrainian officials report hundreds of daily clashes, rising casualties, and failing power and water systems. A ceasefire won’t end the war, but it would stop the bloodshed and open humanitarian corridors.

Putin Under Pressure

Russia’s Siberia and America’s Alaska seem almost to touch, with the tips of the Chukotka and Seward Peninsulas only 55 miles apart across the Bering Strait.

The scene of the planned Aug. 15 meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin — the U.S. state of Alaska — has played an outsized role in Russian propaganda and mythology.

The choice of Alaska for the summit has re-ignited imperialist narratives, with Kremlin propagandists emphasizing again that the peninsula used to be a Russian territory.

Some imperialist Russians have perceived the sale of Russian Alaska to the U.S. in 1867 as treason or a tragic mistake, while others have dismissed the transaction as illegal.

For years, Russian propagandists and officials have been obsessed with Alaska and called for returning it to Moscow. In their mindset, it is part of the mythology where Alaska, Finland, Poland, and Ukraine are "historical Russian lands" that were unfairly separated from the homeland.
