This is a dream come true for America and the World, for advocates of freedom and admirers of indomitable heroism.
After meeting with Ukraine President Zelensky at the UN General Assembly in Manhattan yesterday (9/23), President Trump posted:
Winston Churchill would understand and be pleased:
PITTSBURGH — Something big is happening with America’s young people. It has been building for the past two years. It centers on faith, purpose, and a renewal toward more traditional American values.
This new American youth counterculture movement looks very different from the one that burst onto the scene in the 1960s.
Sixty years ago, the youth movement on college campuses set out to upend our culture’s status quo — the rebellion created a seismic cultural and political shift away from post World War II traditionalism.
And for the next 60 years...

People celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk are worse than sick—they’re downright evil.
Has there always been this much evil? Or is it worse than it used to be? The answer is not only is it worse, it is much worse, because the philosophical basis of our country has been deteriorating for years.
The United States was created by men of the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, was an intellectual movement in the 17th and 18th centuries that used reason as the primary source of knowledge. In essence, the United States was based on reason, and it is reason that has been abandoned due to bad philosophical ideas.
In the 1920s, the Frankfurt School in Germany taught and expanded upon the ideology of communism by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It was there that Critical theory, a theory that criticizes modern society, was born.
By holding this belief, that Western Civilization stood in the way of provoking a socialist revolution, the Frankfurt School condemned Western culture. To put it another way, they went about trying to destroy Western Civilization because they viewed reason as a threat.
A lot of people are wondering why Donald Trump suddenly seems to have changed his position on the Ukraine War. But it is simple enough.
Amid all the terrible news about Charlie Kirk, few noticed the resignation (or firing) of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kremlin and Putin’s only sensible advisor -- Dmitry Kozak.
Kozak was Putin’s alter-ego going back to their early days in St. Petersburg. It was Kozak who had been against the Ukraine War from the start, understanding how weak Russia truly is. And it was Kozak who has been trying to work out a peace deal the last several months.
With his firing, President Trump understands Putin has given up on making some kind of arrangement, no matter how one-sided. Instead, Putin is committed to conquering Ukraine.
Until now, President Trump has been solicitous of Putin, hoping he would work with him to find a face-saving end to this horrible war. Instead, he effectively double-crossed Trump, just to gain another eight months of useless fighting. Big mistake.
Poland Foreign Minister Sikorski at the UN Security Council yesterday (9/22)
Three years and seven months after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, all international initiatives to bring the war to an end have seemingly discontinued.U.S. President Donald Trump’s invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin to make a peace deal at the summit at the Elmendorf-Richardson base in Alaska on August 15 produced a spike of hopes, but has so far been a dead-end (Re: Russia, September 15).
By refusing to depart from his maximalist demands and rejecting Trump’s offers of compromise, Putin has committed to an indefinite continuation of the war—a choice that may be a mistake as grave as his decision to launch the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.
Putin has taken a series of aggressive actions toward NATO, raising the stakes of a Russian defeat and attempting to demonstrate the alliance’s weakness to justify the mounting costs of his war against Ukraine (Republic.ru, September 18).
We are all familiar with the basic guidelines for good health: exercise, eat right – more fruits and veggies, more fish, fewer calories, more fiber, less sugar- don’t smoke, don’t abuse alcohol or drugs.
If we follow these guidelines and maintain an optimal weight, many health problems would be greatly diminished.
But there is another dimension to our health. How we think and feel, how we interact with others, and the kind of activities we spend our time doing can have a huge impact on our physical – not only mental -- health.
We can assess these different habits and behaviors by how they affect our happiness, our relationships, and our resilience. Which helps us to function better? Which helps us to enjoy the company of family and friends? Which helps us to be more effective and to live a better life?
Fortunately, over the years there has been a great deal of very good research that is beginning to show some clear and consistent guidelines for how to practice psychological health, and live a happier and more fulfilling life.
Rangdum Gompa, Zanskar, August 1993. Ever ridden a yak? Brandon did when was 10 at the Rangdum Tibetan Monastery or Gompa atop a small hill at 13,225 feet high in an extremely remote region of the Himalayas in India called Zanskar. It was part of our Indian Tibet expedition which will be repeating soon – and this time Brandon will be leading the expedition. I’ll just be along for the ride.

This masterpiece, of Rennaisance painter Caravaggio (1571-1610) was completed in 1597 and hangs in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence where I took this picture. It is a genius portrayal of one of the most legendary Greek myths, the demigod hero Perseus slaying the gorgon monster Medusa. She was thought unconquerable with her head of snakes, for anyone who gazed upon her was turned to stone. Yet Perseus chose to battle her with a shield that was a bronze mirror on the outside. Thus when they fought, she saw herself in the shield’s reflection, turning herself into stone. The painting depicts the moment of horror she realizes what has happened, which Caravaggio painted on a simulated shield.
A visit to the Uffizi is an absolute must should you ever visit Florence. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #279 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
This is the most anti-Marxist picture I have ever taken. I am a White American. He is a Black African in N’Djamena, Chad. And those differences mean nothing compared to our both being fathers.
Look into his soul through his eyes. Look at the tranquility and peaceful joy his soul feels in being the father of his two beautiful children. It is the same with me.
The Left’s purpose is to divide us into tribal differences of hate – white vs. “people of color,” rich vs. poor, employers vs. workers, exploiters vs. exploited, victimizers vs. victims, the anti-white racist hate of Critical Race Theory. Always, always, they focus exclusively on differences, to separate people apart, to hate other different than them. All in the ancient “divide and conquer” scheme to control people’s lives.
Yet the differences between us are so unimportant compared to what we all have in common, our basic humanity. The bond that I have with this man from Chad is so much greater than anything that separates us. Focusing on what we all have in common with our fellow human beings is the way to rid the world of the anti-human hate of the Marxist Left.

Once a small Mexican fishing village far from everything, Zihuatanejo (zee-wah-tan-ay-ho) – Zee-wat to locals – has become a paradisical escape hatch for many seeking refuge from our pressure-cooker world. 150 miles up the northwest coast of Acapulco, Zee-wat is its own world of peace and serenity.
Stroll on the beach or along the Paseo del Pescador (Fisherman’s Path) with its shops, bars, and restaurants unbothered. Just relax surrounded by flowers, warm water, and blue sky. All the worries elsewhere in Mexico, much less in the US or anywhere else are not here.
The time to come is coming up, the dry season November-May. Prices are a bargain with the peso 5 cents to the dollar. Non-stop flights from multiple cities in the US and Canada. Just a few days here will do wonders for your soul. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #182 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
Originally built upon Roman fortifications on a rocky promontory in the 900s by the Counts of Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Fortress gained strategic importance located between the French Kingdom and the Hapsburg Empire. By the 1600s it became so impregnable it was called the “Gibraltar of the North.”
It was fought over by so many armies that finally, in establishing the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg’s full independence and neutrality in 1867, Luxembourgers agreed to tear it down.
What you see here is what is left, and is now a World Heritage Site. The Chemin de la Corniche – the promenade along the top of the ramparts overlooking Alzette River and the Old City – is renowned as “Europe’s most beautiful balcony.”
Wedged between France, Belgium, and Germany, small 1,000 square-mile Luxembourg is a haven of peaceful beauty. Come here to stand on these ramparts to experience it yourself. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #233 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an update to make the party's longtime insignia more accurate in reflecting its modern platform and constituency, Democrats unveiled a new logo featuring a donkey holding a sniper rifle.
Following a rash of violent crimes perpetrated by members of the political left, the Democrat Party held a closed-door meeting that determined adding a sniper rifle to the logo would best depict what the party stands for and who it represents.
"It's the perfect illustration of what our party stands for," said Ken Martin, head of the Democrat National Committee. "Everyone has known the donkey as the Democrat mascot for decades, but we felt that it no longer conveyed the message of who we are as a party. Giving the donkey a sniper rifle gives us a harder edge while letting everyone know what our party stands for in 2025."
Prominent Democrats believe the updated logo would make the party's agenda clearer to voters. "When you're running political campaigns, it's important to make your message as clear as possible," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "We're the party of threats, violence, and murder, so it's only right for our logo to accurately reflect that. There's also a ‘Vote for us, or else' vibe to it, which is perfect."
At publishing time, Democrats had made the logo even more modern and inclusive for its current supporters by revealing that the sniper rifle-carrying donkey depicted was actually a male donkey that underwent gender reassignment surgery so it could pretend to be a female donkey.

The NT Post has this photo-essay (9/17): Trump And Melania Warmly Welcomed By Prince William, Princess Kate, King Charles And Queen Camilla At Windsor Castle With Lavish Royal Procession.
We can revel in this, and enjoy the Schandenfreudeliciousness of how it must drive all Dem Woketards and the TDS-infected out of their minds with resentment and envy. Imagine, for example, the bottomless bitterness Michelle Obama and Jill Biden must feel seeing Melania treated like a Queen…
…Now, before we go any further – I must attempt to say something adequate regarding Mike Ryan’s masterpiece HFR last Friday: Half-Full Report 09/12/25.
[This Monday’s Archive was originally published on April 8, 2010. It is a must-read for all conservatives today so they understand how critically important it is to support President Trump’s efforts to break this curve. There is, however, an additional reason for choosing this 2010 article as an Archive today. It is that the events of the last few days have horrifically shown that the Democrats and the Left are on an Exponential Curve of Fascist Immorality. It is for very good reason that Elon Musk refers to the Dems as “the Party of Murder.” Their celebration of Charlie Kirk’s murder is beyond depravity. Let us know your thoughts on this in the TTP Forum.]

Let me tell you about a farmer outside of Dayton, Ohio, named Roscoe Filburn. He planted 23 acres of wheat, and harvested 462 bushels – which exceeded his allotment under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 by 239 bushels.
For this violation of a Federal Act, he was fined $117.11, which he refused to pay. He grew the wheat for his own private consumption – primarily to feed his chickens. Since the constitutional justification for the Agricultural Adjustment Act was Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce, and since the wheat was grown for private consumption and thus not involved in commerce at all much less interstate commerce, farmer Filburn argued he was exempt from the law.
The Federal District Court in Ohio agreed. The government appealed and took the case to the Supreme Court. After less than a month of deliberation, the Justices reached their decision. By a vote of 9 to 0, they unanimously found Filburn guilty. Their reason:
Three recent events have underscored the catastrophic erosion of the foundational tenets of the United States and the anti-Americanism of the Democrat Party.
The first is the brutal murder of a young woman in Charlotte, N.C., Iryna Zarutska. The second, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The third, sitting Democrat senator Tim Kaine’s declaration reflecting a fundamental belief within the current Democrat Party that the government is the source and, thus, the final arbiter of all human rights.
Over the centuries, those that deem the state is paramount and, thus, the source of all rights, believe granting, limiting, or denying these rights is the sole discretion of the state based on what the state defines as the greater good.
When the state refuses to recognize the unalienable or God-given rights of its citizens, its society is beset with turmoil and its culture is fraught with no respect for the life, liberty, and property of its individual citizens.
In the case of Iryna Zarutska deference to the perpetrator’s race was more important to the state than her life or liberty. The deliberate creation of an environment wherein the unalienable property right of speech is not tolerated or recognized directly led to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
