“[Nuclear weapons] defy the concept of both space and time… a nuclear explosion in one place, in one location, and in one split moment in time, can have both global effects and it can have impacts over thousands of years.”

The world's political discourse is filled with talk about nukes. They’re one of the first things that come to mind whenever a new war starts.

Given the power of these weapons, you’d hope the world would have a legitimate understanding of the damage they cause. It could trigger the end of the world.

Chemical engineer Ivana Hughes is one of the world’s premier experts on this dark subject, and she joined The Tucker Carlson Show for an eye-opening conversation the public needs to hear.

BREAKING: President Trump COMMUTES the sentence of former New York Rep. George Santos.

He was sentenced to 7-year

"George Santos was somewhat of a “rogue,” but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison. I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, “Da Nang” stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was “a Great Hero,” he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!"

The meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine was very interesting, and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing, and make a DEAL! Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide! No more shooting, no more Death, no more vast and unsustainable sums of money spent. This is a War that would have never started if I were President. Thousands of people being slaughtered each and every week — NO MORE, GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES IN PEACE!

LA is $1 billion over budget and struggling to deliver basic services. Now City Hall wants to take on $5 billion more in debt. That is not leadership, it is reckless. We need to modernize the convention center, but not at the expense of public safety and city services we need.

*NEWS INTERRUPTION*

"The shutdown continues. The Republican Party is NOT going to pay $1.5 TRILLION to illegal immigrants coming into our country," says president Trump.

"It's a Democrat Shutdown. It's a Schumer Shutdown — because his career is failed and it's over."

"Stop at the battle line and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelensky. I told it to President Putin."

We realized everyone over at Bluesky probably wasn't seeing our content.

So we decided to fix that.

Here are some of our greatest hits all in one place. Enjoy ❤️🇺🇸

The White House

💥A Win for Chicago💥

Border Patrol agents tracked down and arrested this illegal alien from Mexico, who was hiding out in the Windy City. Plot twist? He’s also a registered sex offender with a criminal history including multiple aggravated sexual abuse charges against minors.

The Green Machine proves once again that dangerous predators can’t use sanctuary cities as safe haven.

Commander Op At Large CA Gregory K. Bovino

If you don’t speak English, you can’t read the rules of the road, which costs lives.

One state refuses to comply with this and that’s California. I’m going to do my part to stop a potential tragedy by withholding $40 MILLION in funding from the state until they comply with the order.

Secretary Sean Duffy

This tragedy should have NEVER happened.

Richard Ferguson Jr., a 61-year-old North Carolina man, was killed by a criminal illegal alien who was driving under the influence.

Wilmer Fuentes Mejia had previously been deported by ICE, and his criminal history includes TWO PREVIOUS ARRESTS for driving under the influence and assault.

ICE, under President Trump and Sec. Noem, lodged an arrest detainer for this criminal to ensure this punk and public safety threat isn't released back onto the streets.

Homeland Security

ICE discovered evidence of potential fraud, including evidence of nonfunctional or staged worksites & supervisors who lacked knowledge of laws & regulations related to employing foreign students.
