KALLAS COMPLAINS: Top EU Diplomat Gripes That US Is Not Paying for New Weapons for Ukraine, Thinks 50-Day Ultimatum for Russia ‘Is Too Long’
July 16, 2025
EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas wants the US to help pay for the weapons for Ukraine.
The new NATO initiative to arm Ukraine rubs Kallas wrong.
Not everyone is thrilled by the new plan devised by US president Donald J. Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to send weapons to Ukraine.
The novel initiative will see NATO countries (Europeans and Canada) to cede equipment to Ukraine, and buy back from the US to replenish their arsenals.
This plan sees Trump shifting the financial burden of the war to the warmongering EU powers that want to keep it going.
‘We have spent about $350 billion on the Russia-Ukraine war. And we would like it to end.’
Donald J. Trump
Chiefly among those disagreeing with the new plans is Kaja Kallas, who holds the pompous title of ‘EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy’.
Top Brussels diplomat Kallas already had opined that the 50-day period that Trump has given Russia to arrange a peace deal ‘is too long’.
‘Fifty days is a very long time if we see that they are killing innocent civilians every day’, she said.
Watch: ’50 days is a very long time.’
Politician most irked by Trump’s secondary sanctions proposal to Russia – EU’s Kaja Kallas.
“’We welcome President Trump’s announcement to send more weapons to Ukraine, although we would like to see the U.S. to share the burden’, Kallas said at a press briefing after Tuesday’s Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels.
‘America and Europe are working together, and if we work together, we can put pressure on [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to negotiate seriously’.”

“When asked to clarify her comments on sharing the burden with the U.S., Kallas called on the Americans to continue to support Ukraine: ‘If we pay for these weapons, it’s our support. Our call is that everybody should do the same’.”
Watch: Kaja Kallas – ‘If you promise to give the weapons, but say someone else is going to pay for it, it is not really given by you, is it?’

BREAKING: Trump Blames Democrats for “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” – “My PAST Supporters have Bought into this ‘Bullsh*t,’ Hook, Line, and Sinker… I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!”
July 16, 2025
President Trump released a statement on Wednesday morning, labeling the Epstrin files the Democrats’ “new SCAM” and condemning his own supporters for talking about the Epstein case.
“My PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump said. “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”
“I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” Trump added.
He also doubled down on his comparison of the Epstein files to the Steele Dossier, the Hunter Biden laptop, and Russiahoax, saying “these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates.”
Full statement below:
The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steel Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue.
Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.
Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Similarly, President Trump told reporters on Tuesday, “I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.”
“Only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going,” he added, likening the files to the “fake” Mueller Witch Hunt and Steele Dossier.
He/They Xe/She Arrested in Rural MI Upper Peninsula Community After Being Caught On Surveillance Camera Throwing Molotov Cocktail Into Local GOP Office [VIDEO]
July 16, 2025
19-year-old Zayn Arcand, who describes himself as “he/they xe/she” and “demi boy, pansexual, emo artist and (high functioning) autistic,” has been arrested in his hometown of Iron Mountain, Michigan, after he was reportedly captured on a surveillance video attempting to throw a Molotov cocktail into a building where the local Dickinson Republican Party Committee has an office. Arcand goes by “Atomic Havoc” on social media.
Arcand was charged with manufacturing and possessing an explosive and arson by the Iron Mountain Police Department. According to the press release, on Saturday, around 3:55 pm (in broad daylight), Arcand was captured on surveillance video using a Molotov cocktail in an attempt to burn down the building containing the Dickinson County Republican Committee’s office.
Earlier today, Jeff Solka, Director of Police and Fire Services, released a statement to explain:
On Saturday, July 12, 2025, at approximately 3:55 p.m., the Iron Mountain Police Department received a report of a suspicious person in the area of 617 North Stephenson Avenue, the location of the Dickinson County Republican Committee Headquarters.
The caller observed the individual attempting to light a rag sticking out of a glass bottle, then throwing the unlit bottle at
the building.
Officers reviewed footage from surveillance cameras in the area, Officers were able to see the subject on video, attempting to light a rag sticking out of a glass bottle containing liquid. The subject did not get the rag to light and threw the glass bottle at the window, causing the bottle to shatter. A second broken glass bottle was located in the parking lot. This bottle contained an unknown liquid and had a rag sticking out of the top.
Officers were able to identify the suspect in the videos and located him at his home. Upon speaking with the suspect, he admitted to making the bottles in his driveway and he threw the bottle at the building, to send a message against the corruption. The suspect was hoping what he made was flammable and would ignite.
The suspect, a 19-year-old male from Iron Mountain, was arrested and booked into the Dickinson County Jail. His identity will be released following his arraignment on the following charges:
• Explosives – Manufacture/possession of a Molotov cocktail/explosive or incendiary
device causing property damage (MCL 750.211a)
• Arson – Preparation to burn property MCL 750.79(d)(i)
Iron Mountain Police claim Arcand “Admitted to making the bottles in his driveway, and he threw the bottle at the building, to send a message against the corruption.”
Watch the surveillance video footage here:

Fortunately, Arcand failed at his alleged attempt to burn down the building, but it doesn’t excuse the seriousness of the crime that he committed. He clearly needs to get mental health care.
After combing through Arcand’s social media accounts, it seems highly likely that he has some mental illness. Here is a post from the perpetrator’s Instagram account:
Unfortunately, almost every school shooting and act of violence against a political figure is carried out by a loner like Arcand, who is easily influenced by outside forces to carry out acts of violence against political figures. The Whitmer “kidnapping” case is a perfect example of how easily lonely and unstable individuals can be co-opted by undercover intelligence agents to plan and even commit crimes because they so badly want to be accepted or liked. That’s another reason people like US Rep. Maxine Waters (D), and Senator Chuck Schumer (D) need to be held accountable for pushing violence against President Trump and his supporters.
The owners of the building, Barb and Ray Broullire, say they suspect the act was politically motivated and that they are relieved it wasn’t worse.
“My whole thought is accountability,” Barb Broullire said. “I want something done because there was a reason he picked this building at this office. I mean, why?”
Liberal States Are Undermining K-12 Education: The Trump Administration Is Fighting Back

In recent years, several liberal state governments have pursued educational policies that have disrupted traditional K-12 education outcomes. New York stands as a key example, where elected officials have advanced policies that restrict school choice and redirect education funding into ideological initiatives. These changes come at a significant cost to academic performance, educational equity, and opportunities for students in underserved communities.
New York City Democratic Mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani, argues that charter networks divert resources from traditional public schools and primarily benefit more affluent families. He claims that vouchers are often used by students who were already enrolled in private schools and that these programs lack sufficient accountability. Mamdani proposes an alternative: a fully funded public school system. Yet such a system already exists in New York, which spends over $36,000 per student annually, and despite this massive investment, it continues to produce poor academic outcomes.
Data from the Success Academy network, New York City’s largest and most scrutinized charter school system, provides a sharp rebuttal to Mamdani’s claims. The school network enrolls a student body that is 98% minority and overwhelmingly from low-income households. In 2023, 96% of Success Academy students passed the state math exam, while 83% passed the English Language Arts exam. These figures stand in stark contrast to the citywide proficiency rate, which lingers around 49%.
This disparity highlights a simple truth: charter schools are not undermining public education—they are outperforming it. Restricting their growth only serves to limit access to high-quality education for the students who need it most.
Rather than focus on academic achievement, Mamdani has prioritized political messaging in their budget proposals. The 2025 “People’s Budget” includes $8 million for teacher diversity initiatives and over $250,000 for racial and cultural inclusivity programs and conventions. While the goal of a diverse teaching workforce is laudable, the city already employs a staff that is approximately 42% Black—almost double the proportion of Black residents in the city.
These diversity-driven expenditures come at a time when chronic absenteeism in the New York City public school system nears 40%, and statewide K–12 outcomes remain below national averages.
School choice programs, particularly those that provide scholarships for private education or support for charter schools, have shown measurable success in states such as Florida and North Carolina. Florida’s Tax Credit Scholarship Program, established in 2001, awards scholarships to more than 120,000 students annually. These scholarships are funded entirely by private donations incentivized through state tax credits. The 2024–25 cap for these tax credits is more than $1 billion.
Notably, eligibility restrictions for the program were recently lifted, though priority is still given to students from low-income households or foster care. The program is expanding to include 100,000 personalized education plans for students who remain in public schools but require specialized resources.
Recently, the Trump Administration has signed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act,” which includes the most ambitious national school choice initiative to date. The bill provides a $5 billion federal tax credit program designed to support Scholarship Granting Organizations. These organizations would distribute privately funded scholarships to low- and middle-income families, allowing them to pursue charter, private, or specialized education options. Because the funding is derived from private donations, the program does not diminish public education budgets and does not impose federal mandates on school districts.
The proposal also includes reforms to 529 education savings accounts, previously capped at $10,000 annually for K–12 tuition. The new plan would allow families to use 529 funds for tutoring, online learning, test preparation, and even homeschool materials.
Vocational and technical education is another key focus of the proposal. Under the expanded 529 rules, families could fund training in high-demand fields like HVAC repair, nursing assistance, and cybersecurity. These programs cost between $1,800 and $10,000—far less than traditional four-year degrees—and lead directly to workforce participation. The bill recognizes that modern education must align with labor market realities, not outdated academic models.
In addition to advancing the Big, Beautiful Bill, the Trump administration achieved a major legal victory this week: the Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Department of Education to be dismantled. Under the Biden administration, the Department spent billions of dollars promoting controversial programs such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT). These initiatives would likely continue under any future Democratic administration, posing a continued threat to academic standards and parental rights. Closing the Department of Education would allow federal funds to be redirected away from bloated bureaucracy and toward school choice programs that empower families and prioritize student success.
Liberal states are failing their students by clinging to ineffective models and prioritizing ideology over outcomes. The Trump Administration offers an alternative that is data-driven, family-centered, and financially sustainable. It provides the tools families need to pursue meaningful educational success, especially those who have long been left behind by the traditional system. If America is serious about improving education, then the answer lies not in more bureaucracy, but in more choice.
A paranormal investigator on his creepy “haunted” Annabelle doll tour in the “haunted” battlefield town of Gettysburg has died … completely out of the blue.
Dan Rivera, 54, was in Pennsylvania for his “Devils on the Run” tour — hauling the infamous doll across the country — when firefighters and medics rushed to his hotel Sunday night.
Adams County dispatch logs reveal a call for CPR in progress on a man matching Rivera’s age. Rivera’s death was confirmed by the New England Society for Psychic Research, where he was the lead investigator. His exact cause of death remains unclear.
Rivera, a fixture in the paranormal world, was doing what he loved — bringing spooky legends to life — when tragedy hit. He’d built serious ghost-hunting cred and a social media following off the eerie superstitions tied to Annabelle’s haunted past.
WATCH:
In case you’re unfamiliar with the Annabelle doll, it’s a Raggedy Ann Doll that has been housed at the Warren Occult Museum.
A nursing student originally owned the doll in the 1970s, but after the doll reportedly started to cause disturbing events, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren took possession of it after claiming that a demonic spirit possessed the doll.
The doll inspired the movie “Annabelle,” which is part of the Conjuring series.
