Trump: ‘We have to’ send Ukraine more weapons

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/7/2025 8:24:30 PM

President Trump said Monday his administration would send Ukraine additional weapons after his administration imposed a pause on some shipments to Kyiv. “We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” Trump told reporters during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Defensive weapons, primarily, but they’re getting hit very, very hard. So many people are dying in that mess,” he added. The Pentagon last week confirmed a decision to halt the delivery of some air defense missiles and munitions to Ukraine, citing concerns about U.S. military stockpiles being depleted.

Z-man doesn't have any cards or rockets. Has he agreed to a mineral deal yet?

Putin started this war, has no interest in ending it. Having more damage done is the only way to change his mind. This is a good idea.

This decision, coming on the heels of the OBBB passage, might be in the line of Reagan who built up the military, launched the "star wars" program, and brought the Soviet Union to the verge of bankruptcy by more or less challenging them to keep pace with us. Perhaps Trump is playing that same card.

Secretly Putin is the butt of jokes in the world. His 3 week war is three years and counting.

Trump has no choice. Putin has lost all arguments for his side with the invasion, and now the unnecessary and evil bombing of Kyiv residential areas. Russian demands for peace are outrageous, as Russia is in an unwinnable quagmire, and their economy a disaster. Putin threatening to take over all of Ukraine will not go over. Putin has hurt his position so badly with his recent actions that I think he is going to get little for his efforts. All that Putin has accomplished is to reveal how weak Russia really is. Putin's 3 week invasion has turned into over 3 years, and 800,000 Russians dead on the battlefield. At this rate, there won't be any Russians left in a generation.

Two young sisters killed during the devastating floods in Central Texas on Friday sent a final text message to their family before they died. The bodies of the victims, identified as 13-year-old Blair and 11-year-old Brooke Harber of Dallas, were located 15 miles away in Kerrville after the water carried them from a house in Hunt, the Houston Chronicle reported on Sunday. Their aunt, Jennifer Harber, said the children were staying with their grandparents and Brooke sent the text that read, “Saying I love you at 3:30 a.m.,” to their family as the storms intensified. The girls’ aunt told the Chronicle their hands were “locked together” when they were found.

Remember this moment in 2019 when Democrats were asked to raise their hands if they supported treating border crossing as a civil issue aka decriminalize the border. Nearly ever hand went up. In retrospect, some Democrats are realizing this may have been a big mistake. Six years later, the party remains haunted by that tableau. It stands both as a vivid demonstration of a leftward policy shift on immigration that many prominent Democratic lawmakers and strategists now say they deeply regret, and as a marker of how sharply the country was moving in the other direction.

A judge on Monday barred the Trump administration from revoking Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, partially freezing a provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act just days after President Trump signed it into law. The temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani lasts 14 days and directs the Department of Health and Human Services to "take all steps necessary to ensure that Medicaid funding continues to be disbursed" to Planned Parenthood. The ruling, which came after a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood, doesn't apply to any other health care providers. The lawsuit takes aim at a portion of Mr. Trump's signature domestic policy bill that would cut off

As RedState previously documented, California Democrats have been throwing tantrums since the immigration sweeps in Los Angeles started, with Gov. Gavin Newsom using the issue to try and elevate his profile ahead of an anticipated 2028 presidential run and Mayor Karen Bass and other Democrats coddling rioters and gaslighting about "peaceful protests." More recently, Bass announced that she refused to meet with ICE, nor would she work with them, with Fox News reporting at the time that "Bass said the only deal is for ICE to go home, and she gave no indication she would be willing to meet w/ the agency." ICE told her fine, but they weren't going anywhere,

Bottom line: Competition works in free markets. And that's why the Protection Racket Media tried very hard to kill off their competition through tendentious 'fact checks' and cheerleading for government censorship. Even with their grip on information markets, their narrative labs have to compete -- and that led the New York Times to get a scoop over the weekend. This revelation from Semafor leads to an interesting "what if," though: The afternoon before a long holiday weekend isn’t always the best time to drop a major scoop. But the New York Times did not want to wait to publish its story about Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a wave of airstrikes shortly before midnight Sunday, targeting Houthi-controlled seaports in Yemen. The Israeli Air Force is using powerful bombs in its strikes dropping 56 munitions, and striking key targets including a central generator compound at the Port of As-Salif and fuel offloading infrastructure at Ras Issa. Fighter jets struck facilities in Ras Issa, Hudaydah, and As-Salif, following a rare and urgent evacuation warning issued by the IDF in Arabic earlier in the evening. According to reports from Yemen, explosions were heard in Hudaydah and Ras Issa, suggesting that Israeli warplanes hit key logistical and military assets at those locations. The IDF had warned

The tragic news out of Texas continues to get worse as the death toll from a flash flood has risen to 51, including at least 15 children. Over two dozen girls from a summer camp in the area remain unaccounted for, with the search-and-rescue effort continuing in the night. Sadly, the chances of finding more people alive diminish by the hour, and the situation is likely to become even more heartbreaking over the next few days. Having younger children myself, I simply can't fathom what the impacted families are going through. My prayers are with them, and I can continue to hope

Here’s what happened: a police officer in Alvarado, Texas, responded to a report about a suspicious individual outside an ICE detention center in the late hours of the Fourth of July, according to authorities. When the officer tried to approach the suspect, an unknown number of assailants started shooting and the officer was struck in the neck.

The helicopter lands near Ingram High School and seven young girls run for safety. At least 23 girls were reported missing from Camp Mystic near Hunt, Texas, in Kerr County. It is not clear if the seven girls rescued by the Texas National Guard are from the list of missing girls. The video shows the TNG Blackhawk landing near Ingraham High School. Seven girls quickly exit the aircraft and run to the shelter.

They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token Black person.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing increasing calls for her resignation or firing as a leaked Department of Justice memo has indicated the agency found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein engaged in large-scale blackmail and that no master list of his clients existed. Conservative activist Liz Wheeler ranked among the most vocal in her calls for Bondi's ouster, saying ""If I'm President Trump, I would not tolerate this behavior anymore. She has become a LIABILITY to his administration." Wheeler further referenced Bondi's past orchestration of a botched public release of information to MAGA influencers in binders.

In a dissent of a Supreme Court ruling, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said: "Today's order clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial." Justice Sotomayor made this statement in her dissent from the ruling allowing for migrants to be deported to countries they are not from. In her dissent, which she wrote with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, she said that this would result in the government "deporting noncitizens to potentially dangerous countries without notice or the opportunity to assert a fear of torture."Those

One of the fascinating things about following leftists on social media is that they are lemmings. The order goes out that all must put up a specific meme and, suddenly, all do. That’s why my long-ago high school classmates (99% of whom are leftists), suddenly started posting a variation of a meme insisting that Leviticus—a part of the Bible that is so dear to conservative hearts—mandates accepting illegal aliens. Naturally, these leftists, who wouldn’t recognize the Bible if it bit them, are completely wrong. The most popular version of this meme, the one with almost 6 million views, came from Devin Duke:

A United Nation’s report issued last month calls for the criminalization of spreading “disinformation and misinformation” about global warming. Is it the desperate act of a dying crusade – or business as usual for the climate fanatics? While our hope is the former, it’s more likely the latter. According to Elisa Morgera, the U.N. special rapporteur on climate change, governments should “criminalize misinformation and misrepresentation (greenwashing) by the fossil fuel industry” as well as “criminalize media and advertising firms for amplifying disinformation and misinformation by fossil fuel companies.”
