‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions?
In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy.
The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns.
The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia.
Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev?

President Trump said he and Vladimir Putin had a “very profound” meeting, claiming that “many points were agreed to” but stressing that “there’s no deal until there’s a deal.” Trump added that while progress was made on several issues, a few “big points” remain unresolved. He announced plans to brief NATO allies and Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy on the talks. The president, however, declined to take questions from the press, leaving uncertainty about the details of the discussion.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has firmly denied claims that Jeffrey Epstein was linked to Mossad, calling them “categorically false” and a “vicious lie.” The response came after Tucker Carlson implied Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence, questioning his wealth and connections. Bennett slammed Carlson for spreading conspiracy theories and said Mossad never ran a blackmail operation. Carlson has since doubled down, demanding an interview and accusing Bennett of threats, while MAGA circles push for Epstein’s “client list” to be revealed.

Donald Trump has denied any cover-up in the Epstein files case, blaming Democrats for manufacturing the controversy to tarnish his administration’s “perfect” image. He urged MAGA supporters to stop obsessing over Epstein, warning that they’re falling for left-wing distractions. Trump claimed the Obama-Clinton camp fabricated the scandal and questioned why Democrats hadn’t used any so-called “damaging files” earlier. Despite MAGA backlash, he defended allies like Pam Bondi, while others like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon continue attacking the DOJ report.

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a “client list.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow.
As calls for Bondi’s resignation grow louder, Santos’ viral X post—"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"—fueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondi’s actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epstein’s intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily. Will Trump make the move?

President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage.
Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions.

A political firestorm erupted after former Trump strategist Steve Bannon publicly slammed Donald Trump for allegedly prioritizing Israel over American interests. Bannon’s fury followed the release of a now-altered Trump policy memo which originally included a controversial clause — denying federal disaster aid to U.S. states that boycott Israel. That clause has since been removed, according to documents shared by conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
However, states will still be required to dismantle certain DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs — particularly those perceived as anti-white — to access $1.9 billion in federal emergency funding. Bannon blasted Trump, branding him "Israel First" and accusing him of betraying America First values. The explosive memo and its quiet revisions have ignited debates within Trump’s own base, exposing fractures over foreign loyalty, funding conditions, and the 2024 campaign's ideological direction.

At the AI Summit in Washington, U.S President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on U.S. tech giants for outsourcing jobs to China and India. Declaring that the era of globalist tech policies is “over,” Trump signed three new executive orders pushing for a dramatic shift toward American-made AI and domestic tech manufacturing.
He called out Silicon Valley for building factories in China and hiring Indian workers while neglecting American talent. Trump’s message is clear: “America First” is back—no more foreign hiring, no more offshore factories.
This explosive speech signals a turning point in U.S. tech policy and sends a warning to Big Tech: prioritize American workers or face consequences.

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party.
They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a heated feud with Donald Trump over GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas, warning of a national “map arms race.” After Democrats blocked a Republican vote in Texas, Newsom mocked Trump on social media, vowing to retaliate by redrawing California’s maps to offset Republican gains. He accused Trump of undermining democracy and urged him to pressure Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt the plan. Critics warn Newsom’s retaliation could erode Democrats’ moral stance on fair redistricting.

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.”
He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines. The feud comes as Texas Republicans push to redraw congressional districts in their favor.

In a fiery press conference, US President Donald Trump denied ever specifying a 100% tariff on countries importing oil from Russia — just days after threatening India for being Moscow’s top energy buyer. “I never said a percentage,” Trump claimed, as pressure mounts from New Delhi over alleged Western hypocrisy. India, now facing 25% tariffs, responded by spotlighting America’s own billion-dollar trade with Russia — including uranium and fertilisers. Trump's wavering comments come amid backlash from allies and Republicans alike.
Meanwhile, India and Russia have reaffirmed their strategic defence ties. Trump now says further penalties will be decided after talks with Russian officials. As India's energy imports top $50B, New Delhi defends its sovereign trade decisions — exposing what it calls Western “double standards.” Is Trump walking back under pressure, or is this just the calm before another tariff storm?
