Martial Law in America? Trump Orders Armed National Guard in D.C. Despite Crime at 30-Year Low

Fear grows in Washington D.C. as former President Donald Trump orders the National Guard to carry weapons in the nation’s capital. Nearly 2,000 troops have already been deployed, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorizing a major expansion of their role. Trump has vowed to take control of D.C. police, promising to “fix the city physically and legally,” while Mayor Muriel Bowser condemned the deployment as an “armed militia.” With crime actually at a 30-year low, critics call this an alarming escalation.

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH [Video]

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands. #Zelensky #UkraineIndependenceDay #Vyshyvanka #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Trump #WhiteHouse #Kyiv #UkraineCulture #UkraineNews #WarSymbolism #UkraineTradition #UkraineResilience #ZelenskyStyle #UkraineHeritage #UkraineConflict #UkrainePresident #UkrainePride #UkraineSolidarity #UkraineFashion ~HT.410~GR.124~
