In most cases, wars have negotiated settlements. Territories are exchanged, concessions are made, and a new status quo is established. If you look at European borders today and wind them back over the past two to three centuries, you will immediately notice that the borders shift constantly. Here's a video showing the changes in European borders over the past millennium: I am not suggesting that every invasion and border adjustment be ratified just to stop wars. It's just that you can't fight a war against reality itself, and Russia will retain what was previously Ukrainian territory whenever this war ends. Better sooner than later, because the result will be pretty much the same. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/08/13/thank-you-captain-obvious-n3805752

TO BE FAIR, WHAT ELSE HAVE THEY GOT? The Left’s Feeble Attacks on Trump’s Violent Crime Crackdown. Donald Trump has federalized the Washington, D.C. police and deployed National Guard troops to the city. Trump is arguing that the deployment is in response to a crisis in public safety. Any president in the last 40 years could have declared the same emergency in the district and deployed troops. Trump's move is perfectly legal under the authority granted by the district's Home Rule statute. But Trump's pledge to federalize the police forces of other cities like Chicago, Oakland, and Baltimore will be met with a blizzard of court challenges, given that the president cannot unilaterally send federal troops or federal law enforcement to a city without being invited. That's federalism, and Trump can't do anything about it. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser claims that Trump's actions are unnecessary because the district's violent crime rate has dropped to a 40-year low. Congratulations are in order for the mayor. D.C. crime is no longer intolerable. It's now only unbearable. Indeed, the statistics Bowser is talking about may have been more than a little cooked. The city recently overhauled its justice system, eliminating dozens of offenses and reducing others from felony to misdemeanor. Also, there is a question about the accuracy of D.C. police reporting. "Data from the US Attorney's Office shows a high rate of declined prosecutions, suggesting a potential disconnect between arrests and actual charges," according to the White House. "Fact check: Violent crime in DC has fallen in 2024 and 2025 after a 2023 spike," claims CNN. Even if this is true, does that mean that Washington, D.C. is "safe" or even "safer"? Trump's point is an important one; we shouldn't have to settle for a "reduction in violent crime." That's a statistic that's meaningless if a family member is a victim or if a citizen doesn't feel safe taking public transportation. We need to make cities safer so that the perception among residents is that they and their families feel safer. It's a point that left-wing Democratic mayors refuse to deal with, which is why Donald Trump made significant electoral inroads in urban America. https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2025/08/12/trumps-federalization-of-dc-police-is-all-about-race-balderdash-n4942616

Climate Lockdown Conspiracy Theory Becomes Reality In 3 Canadian Provinces August 11, 2025 Three Canadian provinces have outlawed woodland access due to concerns over wildfire risk and are now threatening massive fines or jail for Canadians who violate the lockdown and who go out into nature. The restrictions in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland are prompting calls of warning as well as acts of civil disobedience from Canadians who view the bans as a tyrannical attempt to restrict the movements of the populace, using climate change as justification. The region’s extended drought and continuing hot, dry weather are being blamed on climate change and the restrictions are evoking a strong reaction among Canadians who liken them to the COVID-19 lockdowns 5 years ago. Authorities in the provinces say the sweeping restrictions on public lands are intended to mitigate the risk of accidental wildfires being caused by the presence of humans. https://amgreatness.com/2025/08/11/climate-lockdown-conspiracy-theory-becomes-reality-in-3-canadian-provinces/

Enough of the California 'squirrel' I lived just a few blocks from the US Capitol. There were open drug deals and arms deals constantly outside my house. My family was threatened on a near daily basis. Racist epitaphs were hurled at my wife and infant children. Rocks were thrown at us as we walked down the street. We were constantly targeted for being white in a “black neighborhood.” No one gave a sh*t. Judges and cops saw us as the problem. When DC Defunded their police, the city turned into a deadly war zone. Every resident was terrorized.DC is a failed state. DC home rule is a mistake. The worst, most entitled racists living off your tax dollars and desecrating our nations Capital. Turning the ‘Seat of Western Civilization’ into a deadly welfare narco-state. Entire neighborhoods need to be cleared out and bulldozed. T his can’t happen soon enough. Every American must support Trump federalizing the city and martial law as a point of American Pride. Restore the Seat of Western Civilization But DC residents should just sit there and take it because Orange Man Bad.

Trump talks about the "land swapping" that he says will take place in ending the war in Ukraine. From the transcript of his press briefing yesterday, Trump talks about the "land swapping" that he says will take place in ending the war in Ukraine: We're going to change the lines, the battle lines. Russia's occupied a big portion of Ukraine. They've occupied some very prime territory. We're going to try and get some of that territory back for Ukraine. But they've taken some very prime territory. They've taken largely, in real estate we call it oceanfront property. The most powerful man in the world — attempting to manage what he's just called "by far the worst that's happened since World War II" — seems comfortable reverting to real-estate mogul mode. That's always the most valuable property. If you're on a lake, a river or an ocean, it's always the best property. Well, Ukraine, a lot of people don't know that Ukraine was largely a thousand miles of ocean. That's gone, other than one small area, Odessa, it's a small area. There's just a little bit of water left. So I'm going to go and see the parameters. Now, I may leave and say good luck, and that'll be the end. I may say this is not going to be settled. I mean, there are those that believe that Putin wanted all of Ukraine. I happen to be one of them, by the way. I think if it weren't for me, he would not be even talking to anybody else right now. But I'm going to meet with him. We're going to see what the parameters are, and then I'm going to call up President Zelensky and the European leaders. https://althouse.blogspot.com/2025/08/trump-talks-about-land-swapping-thats.html https://www.rev.com/transcripts/trump-details-crime-crackdown-for-d-c press conference transcript

Yep, Mamdani Will Be NYC’s Next Mayor by Stephen Green "Nice city you have here — it would be a shame if something were to happen to it." Something bad is about to happen to New York City. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. The greatest city in the world deserves something better than a commie-racist/nepo-red-diaper-baby like Zohran Mamdani as its mayor. But recent news has me convinced that the commie-racist/nepo-red-diaper-baby will be the city's next mayor. President Donald Trump called Mamdani a "communist lunatic" back in June, and he isn't wrong. Every time some old social media post of the Democrat mayoral nominee resurfaces, he's boasting that "the end goal is seizing the means of production," complaining that capitalism is theft https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2025/08/11/yep-mamdani-will-be-nycs-next-mayor-n4942590

The end of Joe's argument. (but he won't admit it) D.C. Police Union Backs Trump’s Move to Federalize City’s Police by Nick Gilbertson The Washington, DC, Police Union is backing President Donald Trump’s call to take federal control of Washington, DC, due to rampant crime. Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the union, released a statement Monday afternoon on the heels of Trump’s executive action to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department. “We stand with the President in recognizing that Washington, DC, cannot continue on this trajectory. Crime is out of control, and our officers are stretched beyond their limits,”. “The federal intervention is a critical stopgap, but the MPD needs proper staffing and support to thrive,”. ‘This can only happen by repealing the disastrous policies that have driven out our best officers..” Terry Cole, Longtime DEA agent and the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, will lead the federal takeover of the police department of Washington, DC https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/11/d-c-police-union-backs-trumps-move-federalize-citys-police/
