Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest decree to conscript over 135,000 men by the end of 2025 is a noteworthy development in the ongoing military engagement with Ukraine. This conscription marks the largest in Russia since 2016, signaling a significant ramp-up in military readiness. Following Russia’s parliament passing a bill that allows for year-round conscription, this move shifts away from the traditional spring and fall drafts. The Kremlin has stated that while men aged 18-30 will be called up for service, they should not expect to be deployed to the Ukrainian frontlines. The decree, effective during the autumn draft period from…

New Jersey Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s recent performance during her face-off with Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli has raised serious questions about her credibility and fitness for office. Initially supporting the Charlie Kirk resolution, Sherrill quickly turned against him. This flip-flopping is a clear indication of a politician lacking courage and conviction. During a town hall meeting, Ciattarelli confronted Sherrill with facts that left her scrambling for answers. When questioned about her supposed plan to raise the sales tax to 10%, she had no solid responses. Instead, she resorted to cheap jabs while failing to address Ciattarelli’s clear stance against tax…

Climate activists have taken aim at President Donald Trump for his recent remarks at the United Nations General Assembly, where he labeled climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” Yet, from the perspective of an environmental nonprofit leader, there may be more truth to his statement than critics acknowledge. The trust deficit between the American people and the modern environmental movement is profound, and it stems largely from the extreme tactics utilized by some in the movement. Over decades, many activists have warned of impending doom, declaring that the world would end, yet their predictions have…
