As the leaders of the North Alliance Treaty Organization converge to The Hague, in the Netherlands, for today’s Summit, there’s still a side issue creating a lot of confusion: Ukraine.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte insisted has been flip-flopping on this issue quite repeatedly, from guaranteeing multiple times that Kiev would be part of the Alliance, to falling in line with the Donald J. Trump US administration’s decision that Ukraine will never be part of NATO, lest there be a nuclear war against Russia over that.

But yesterday (23), on the eve of the Netherland’s summit, Rutte again is changing the tone. Some report that he said that ‘there’s an Irreversible Path of Ukraine to Enter NATO’, while the Reuters report only says that Ukraine would remain a vital topic at the summit.

This comes despite Zelensky’s participation having been curtailed, with him barred from the leaders’ meeting aiming to seal an agreement to boost military spending.

Associated Press reported:

“’You will see important language about Ukraine, including connecting the defense spending up to 2035 to Ukraine, and the need for Ukraine to stay in the fight’, Rutte told reporters on the eve of the two-day summit. ‘This is a clear commitment by allies’.”

“But the Ukrainian leader hasn’t yet publicly confirmed he’ll attend a dinner laid on for leaders attending the NATO summit, where his country has had a diplomatic downgrade from previous alliance meetings, even as leaders stress that their militaries need to muscle up to counter the threat of Russia.

It’s a big change since the summit in Washington last year, when the military alliance’s weighty communique included a vow to supply long-term security assistance to Ukraine, and a commitment to back the country ‘on its irreversible path’ to NATO membership.”

Watch below: back in 2023, Trump is already dismissing any talk of Ukraine in NATO.

There are meetings scheduled for Zelensky at the summit, but he is not invited to the leaders’ working meeting on Wednesday (25).

“’Of course, the most significant and direct threat facing this alliance remains the Russian Federation’, [Rutte] said. ‘Moscow continues to wage war against Ukraine with the support of North Korea, Iran and China, as well as Belarus’. […] European allies and Canada, ‘will provide over €35 billion of additional security assistance to Ukraine for the year ahead’,” he said. ‘So, in a couple of months, we went from €20 billion to €35 billion. And I think that is great news’.”

“My name is India. I’m one of the 100 protesters who were arrested on Fremont Street in Las Vegas last Wednesday, June 11th.

There are at least 15 girls who are still in contact since jail, and we’re looking for legal help and advice—preferably a pro bono lawyer because I don’t have any money. We’re all facing different charges. Mostly it was unlawful assembly, and in my case, failure to disperse.

I think a couple of girls got charged with battery on a cop or something like that—crazy stuff. But yeah, I’m reaching out to see if anyone can at least help us or is willing to represent some of us.

Yeah, it’s a pretty messed up situation. My court date is July 15th.”

A left-wing activist is asking for legal assistance for herself and her friends after being arrested along with about 100 others during a protest on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. These activists are facing charges such as unlawful assembly and failure to disperse.

What stands out about the request is that the activist openly admits she has no money to pay for lawyers—clear evidence, some argue, that left-wing activists often don’t work and rely on subsidies, private donations from figures like Soros, or, in the worst cases, funds from programs like those once provided by USAID. Under the DOGE initiative, it was revealed that millions were diverted to finance the WOKE agenda and left-wing activist groups acting as shock troops.

A Biden-appointed leftist activist in robes has declared he will ignore a clear ruling from the United States Supreme Court allowing the Trump Administration to deport criminal illegal aliens to third-party countries.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, appointed by Joe Biden in 2021, declared Monday evening that his May 21 ruling—which blocks the deportation of violent illegal aliens to third-party countries—remains in full effect, even after the nation’s highest court ruled against him in a decisive 6-3 vote.

The Supreme Court had just cleared the way for President Trump’s administration to resume the lawful deportation of illegal aliens, including several from Laos, Vietnam, and Cuba, to South Sudan.

The Justices granted an emergency application by the Trump Administration, pausing Murphy’s radical order. Only the Court’s three most liberal Justices—Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson—dissented.

Yet Judge Murphy cited Sotomayor’s dissent to claim his ruling still stands.

“The Court’s May 21, 2025 Order on Remedy remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding today’s stay of the Preliminary Injunction.” That mandate keeps dangerous criminals — including eight offenders held at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti — from being removed.

During a fiery segment on Hannity Monday night, Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller vowed accountability is coming.

Stephen Miller: Yes, this is an incredible victory — the Supreme Court win. It allows President Trump, as the law has long said but the courts have blocked, to send illegal aliens convicted of rape, murder, homicide, assault, battery, and crimes against children to any country around the world that is willing to accept them. Whether that be South Sudan, Somalia, or Ethiopia — any country in the world that is willing to accept these monsters — we can get them out of our country and be free of them forever.

The only thing I have to share tonight, Sean — and this is a bit of breaking news — is that the district court judge in Boston has said he’s going to defy the Supreme Court’s ruling. So expect fireworks tomorrow when we hold this judge accountable for refusing to obey the Supreme Court.

WATCH:

WTF? An activist judge in BOSTON decided the Supreme Court ruling allowing Trump to deport illegals to third countries like Sudan DOES NOT APPLY to them.

Stephen Miller: We will hold the judge accountable TOMORROW – expect FIREWORKS.

GOOD!

President Trump responded to the ongoing situation between Israel and Iran on Tuesday morning as both countries exchanged rockets despite an agreed ceasefire. 

The President condemned both sides, saying, “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing!”

This comes after Trump dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend amid an escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and Iran responded with a coordinated attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatat but gave advanced notice.

The response from Iran, President Trump said, was “very weak,” but “they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE.” He added, “I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured,” calling on Iran and Israel to “proceed to peace and harmony.”

Trump later  announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a total ceasefire “upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.”

However, as The Gateway Pundit reported this morning, Israel has announced plans to “continue the intensive operation to strike Tehran” after both sides apparently ignored the ceasefire agreement and exchanged fire.

NEW: Israel Says They “will Respond with Force” to Iran Attack

The President appeared to place more blame on Israel for the agreement falling apart, saying "as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen."

"I didn't like plenty of things I saw yesterday. I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal," President Trump said in response to Israel reportedly firing attacks on Tehran hours after the agreement was made.

"I'm not happy with Iran either, but I'm really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning."

President Trump spoke to reporters on Tuesday at approximately 6 am ET as he departed for the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands.

During the press gaggle, Trump also took aim at CNN and MSNBC for their downplaying on the Saturday night attack that destroyed Iran's nuclear facilities. "That place is under rock. That place is demolished. The B-2 pilots did their job," he said. "I think CNN ought to apologize to the pilots of the B-2s. I think that MSDNC ought to apologize. I think these guys really— these networks and these cable networks are real losers."

"You're gutless losers," he continued.

Transcript:

Trump: I'm not happy that Israel is going out now. There was one rocket that I guess was fired overboard. It was after the time limit, and it missed its target, and now Israel's going out. These guys got to calm down. Ridiculous.

I didn't like plenty of things I saw yesterday. I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn't have to unload, and I didn't like the fact that the retaliation was very strong. But in all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot, and now I hear Israel just went out because they felt it was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere. That's not what we want, I'll tell you. And I'm telling you, I'm not happy about that, Israel either.

All I do is play both sides. I'm going now, as you know, to NATO. Some of you are going with me, and I think it's going to be successful. We'll see. I'll let you know.

Reporter: Talking about the new dawn in the Middle East that you managed to achieve last night, you know, the region is going to a new place. Can you tell us what's your future plan for Gaza, for the hostages?

Trump: Well, we have to have Israel calm down because they went on a mission this morning. I got to get Israel to calm down now.

Reporter: You urged both sides not to violate the ceasefire, but reports coming from the region suggest that the sides accuse each other of violating the ceasefire.

Trump: I think they both violated it. I don't think— I'm not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn't rein people back. I don't like the fact that Israel went out this morning at all, and I'm going to see if I can stop it. So, as soon as I get away from you, I'm going to see if I can stop it. Okay?

Reporter: How confident are you that Iran's nuclear capabilities have been demolished?

Trump: I think it's been completely demolished. I think the reason we're here is because those pilots, those B-2 pilots, did an unbelievable job. And you know, the fake news, like CNN in particular, they're trying to, you know, they're trying to say, “well, I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed.” You know what they're doing? They're really hurting great pilots that put their lives in the line. CNN is scum, and so is MSDNC, they're all. And frankly, the networks aren't much better. It's all fake news, but they should not have done that. Those pilots hit their targets, those targets were obliterated, and the pilots should be given credit. They're not after the pilots. They're after me.

Reporter: Do you believe that Iran could rebuild its nuclear program?

Trump: Iran will never rebuild its nuclear. From there? Absolutely not. That place is under rock. That place is demolished. The B-2 pilots did their job. They did it better than anybody could even imagine. They hit late in the evening, it was dark with no moon, and they hit that target with every one of those things, and that place is gone. But when I see CNN all night long, they're trying to say, well, maybe it wasn't really as demolished as we thought. It was demolished. You take a look at the pin pricks, and you see. That place is gone. And I will say, I think CNN ought to apologize to the pilots of the B-2s. I think that MSDNC ought to apologize. I think these guys really— these networks and these cable networks are real losers. You really are. You're real losers.

You're gutless losers. I say that to CNN because I watch it. I have no choice. I got to watch that garbage. It's all garbage. It's all fake news. But I think CNN is a gutless group of people, and the people that run it— nobody even knows it's been sold so many times— but the people that run it ought to be ashamed. MSDNC, a guy named Brian Roberts, he heads it. He's a disgrace. He's a weak, pathetic disgrace.

Reporter: Israel said that Iran violated the peace agreement. Do you believe that Iran is still committed to peace?

Trump: Yeah, I do. They violated it, but Israel violated it too. Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, Okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour, just drop everything you have on them. So, I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either, but I'm really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not happy about that. We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*ck they're doing! Do you understand that?
