Russian Forces Advance As Ukraine Hit By More Than 600 Drone Strikes Overnight

Russian forces made advances in Ukraine as U.S. and Ukrainian officials prepared for a third day of peace talks in Miami.

Russia unleashed 51 missiles and 623 drone strikes on Dec. 6, which was observed as Armed Forces Day in Ukraine.

Ukraine shot down 30 missiles and neutralized 585 drones in the attack, which targeted residential buildings, energy facilities, and railways in 29 locations.

At least eight people were wounded in Saturday’s strikes, including three in the Kyiv region, according to Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko.

“The night was tough,” Klymenko wrote in a translation of an X post on Dec. 6.

“Russia again struck civilian infrastructure with drones and missiles.”

As Jacki Thrapp details below for The Epoch Times, the barrage occurred after Russian forces advanced north and southeast of Myrnohrad and infiltrated positions in northwestern Pokrovsk, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) confirmed in its Dec. 5 report.

Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk are located in the southeastern part of the country, nearly 200 miles from the Russian border town of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

Data reviewed by the nonprofit research organization found that even though Russian forces advanced on Myrnohrad, they have not encircled Ukrainian forces in the city as of Dec. 5. However, Russian forces are attempting to complete the isolation of the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad pocket, the ISW stated.

As Moscow continued escalations in Ukraine, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Ukrainian negotiators Rustem Umerov and Andriy Hnatov discussed a security framework for postwar Ukraine in Florida on Friday.

Trump Administration ‘an Enemy of Europe’ and ‘We Must Stop Behaving as a Friend Toward It’

Europe’s embattled liberal-globalist elites erupted in fury this week after the Trump administration released its bold new National Security Strategy, which rightfully called out the EU’s anti-European positions, bureaucratic nightmare, and its diminishing geopolitical influence.

Valérie Hayer, head of the EU Parliament’s globalist Renew group, exploded in response, calling the U.S. analysis “unacceptable and dangerous.” She even went so far as to brazenly label the Trump administration “an enemy of Europe,” arrogantly claiming Washington has no business questioning the EU’s failed progressive agenda and increasingly authoritarian policies.

Hayer’s crashout captured the sheer hysteria gripping liberal-globalist circles terrified of losing their ironclad control over the narrative. Ironically, Brussels loves dictating to sovereign nations but has a tantrum when faced with honest pushback.

Liberal activist Gerald Knaus from a pro-immigration think tank went even further, hysterically declaring the U.S. a “direct threat to European democracy and peace.” He absurdly accused Washington of plotting to break up the EU and NATO, revealing the paranoia of an elite class clinging to power.

This kind of inflammatory language exposes a crumbling establishment frantic to deflect blame amid surging right-wing, anti-globalist waves across Europe. Instead of fixing their own disasters—like endless regulations and open borders that have allowed millions of military-aged migrants to establish themselves—EU insiders opt to vilify patriots and outsiders.

At the same time, EU foreign-policy boss Kaja Kallas tried a softer spin from Doha, claiming the U.S. is still Europe’s “biggest ally.” But even she grudgingly conceded that the American critiques hold “truths” the EU has willfully ignored for too long.

Germany’s foreign minister Johann Wadephul joined the chorus of denial, flatly rejecting any U.S. commentary on Europe’s so-called “liberal society.” His stance highlights how Europe’s ruling elite treats external criticism as an assault on their unaccountable authority, not a chance for real change.

New York Has RELEASED Nearly 7,000 Criminal Illegals with Active ICE Detainer Requests Back onto Street Since Trump Took Office

McEnany: This is incomprehensible to me, people who immigration authorities want just let out in the streets of New York?

Tenney: Yeah, this is a sanctuary state, as you know, still is a sanctuary state run by the Democrats completely. Even the governor faces a veto proof majority in the legislature, and now we’re going to end up having, you know, a pro-sanctuary Mayor coming in the first of January. But yeah, there are 1000s, almost 7000 people with these advanced criminal records like, you know, murder, you said, homicide, rape, extortion, you name it, just about every crime— child, sex crimes that are led into our state every single year, at least this last year.

And this is all done, and Letitia James, our Attorney General, was alerted. She doesn’t care. She even goes after and is trying to prosecute any of the local governments who want to cooperate with what is called the 287(g) program. That program allows local police to coordinate with ICE if we have dangerous criminal aliens within the confines of a county or a city.

She is interfering with that. She’s actually prosecuting my home Sheriff for actually cooperating. And my district in upstate New York, New York 24, my entire northern border is the Canadian border, and we have had almost 90% of the people on the foreign terror watch list under Joe Biden were coming in across the northern border. So, it’s a very dangerous place and a very easy place for safe haven, especially with a sanctuary state like New York.

French Government Plan To 'Label' News Outlets Backfires Spectacularly

A few weeks back, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a new “media labeling” system, while also assuring citizens that this “media accreditation” will not include any sort of state-backed labeling.

Suffice it to say, these assurances have only stoked fears of an authoritarian creep into the media sphere.

Back in November, Macron had told La Voix du Nord that “a labeling process carried out by professionals” was in the works to highlight those media outlets that respected certain “ethical standards,” and thus also those it deems lacking.

Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD), owned by the conservative Bolloré group, denounced this development on its front page as a project for “information control,” reports France24.

Jordan Bardella, head of the right-wing National Rally, also posted on X about the news: ”The role of the State is not to “certify the truth” with an obscure label: it is to guarantee freedom of the press and freedom of expression. Let us reject Emmanuel Macron’s project, which is nothing less than to establish genuine control over information.”

The Élysée posted itself in response to criticisms, with the message: “Pravda? Ministry of Truth? When talking about the fight against disinformation sparks disinformation…”

In response to this, Marion Marechal, president of Identity Liberty and niece of Marine Le Pen, noted, referencing Arcom, the French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication.

“French people, rest assured, so it is therefore not the Élysée that will deliver the media truth label but a ‘Journalism Arcom,” held, once again, by socialists designated by the president?” she asked.

Bruno Retailleau, the leader of the Republicans, has now launched a petition entitled “Media: Yes to Freedom, No to Labeling!” which garnered over 40,000 signatures.

Éric Ciotti, now allied with the National Rally, published his own petition shortly thereafter, reaching the same number.

Netanyahu rules out creation of Palestinian state

The sole purpose of such a move would be the destruction of Israel, the PM has claimed

Israel will not allow the creation of a Palestinian state, since its true purpose is the destruction of “the one and only Jewish state,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said.

Netanyahu made the remarks on Sunday in Jerusalem during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. While Merz reaffirmed Berlin’s commitment to the creation of an independent Palestinian state, Netanyahu openly disagreed with him, claiming that such an entity would be “committed to our destruction at our doorstep.”

“They already had a state in Gaza, a de facto state, and it was used to try to destroy the one and only Jewish state,” Netanyahu stated, referring to the Palestinian enclave that has been effectively run by the militant group Hamas.

Israel believes that there’s “a path to advance a broader peace with the Arab states” and to “establish a workable peace with our Palestinian neighbors” that does not involve the creation of an independent entity, he added.

Israel’s prime minister has repeatedly rejected the two-state solution proposed by the UN Security Council. The scheme entails the creation of a Palestinian state within the armistice lines that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The original UN plan for partition in 1947 envisioned separate Jewish and Arab states, but a series of subsequent wars allowed Israel to seize most of the land which had been allocated to the Palestinians.

Netanyahu noted that the occupation of the West Bank, considered to be illegal under international law, remains a subject of discussion, yet signaled that the status quo is expected to remain in place for the foreseeable future.

Chicago Public Schools Blew $23.6 Million on Luxury Trips. The Full Story Is Far Worse.

Public school districts exist for one purpose: educating children. They are entrusted with public dollars, charged with preparing the next generation for citizenship and the workforce, and expected to manage resources responsibly.

But in many major districts, that mission has collapsed under political control, financial irresponsibility, and a refusal to prioritize students. Few places illustrate this breakdown more clearly than Chicago Public Schools.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a recent report from the CPS Office of Inspector General detailed $23.6 million in improper or wasteful travel spending—dollars that should have gone directly toward recovering from historic learning losses.

Instead, district employees used public funds for high-end hotel suites, airport limousines, first-class airfare, and “professional development” conferences that resembled vacations more than training. One staff member extended a four-day seminar into a weeklong stay at a Hawaiian resort costing nearly $5,000.

Another principal booked a luxury suite on the Las Vegas Strip and quietly extended the trip to celebrate an anniversary. In one school alone, 24 employees billed taxpayers $50,000 to attend a single Las Vegas conference.

The abuses extended overseas. CPS employees charged more than $142,000 for travel to South Africa, Egypt, Finland, and Estonia—complete with hot-air balloon rides and game-park safaris. These trips took place while Chicago families were told that there wasn’t enough money to fully address learning gaps or chronic absenteeism.

Most troubling, the waste accelerated when federal pandemic relief funds flooded district budgets.

Of the $23.6 million identified, $14.5 million was spent in just 2023 and 2024.

Germany’s Globalist Regime Bans AfD From Mayoral Elections in Rhineland-Palatinate

Germany’s increasingly unpopular and authoritarian globalist regime has banned members of the conservative-nationalist party Alternative for Germany (AfD)—the most popular in the country—from running for local mayor in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The regime’s weapon of choice is a state blacklist, crafted by Germany’s highly politicized domestic intelligence service—an agency that persecutes patriotic citizens while branding the country’s true opposition as extremists.

A 2025 order from the state’s Interior Ministry, designed as a de-facto ban on the party, now forces candidates to vow no ties to listed organizations over the past five years, the Austrian news outlet Exxpress reported.

AfD members simply cannot sign without legally perjuring themselves. German-American Roberto Kiefer hoped to contest the mayoral seat in Nieder-Olm next March. The new rules render his bid impossible solely because of his party loyalty.

Kiefer rightly denounces it as a sneaky exclusion of a fully legal political movement and a party that’s the most popular in the country. He will file his candidacy regardless, bracing for the inevitable bureaucratic rejection.

Pro-Israel Forces Intensify Effort To Control American Discourse

Across the American political spectrum, support for the State of Israel is steadily eroding. With the long-running, staggeringly expensive redistribution of American wealth and weapons to one of the world’s most prosperous countries under unprecedented threat, Israel’s advocates inside the United States are growing increasingly desperate to suppress the facts, opinions, questions and imagery that are causing this sea change.

Pro-Israel forces have long worked to limit and shape US discourse to Israel’s advantage. However, the intensity and novelty of what’s taking place in 2025 — from the government-coerced transfer of a social media platform to pro-Israel billionaires, to the jailing and attempted deportation of a student for writing an opinion piece, and more — deserves the attention of every American who values free expression, an enlightened electorate, and independence from foreign influence.

Out of Sight: Following the Money Trail of Missing Child Border Crossers

On the campaign trail, Vice President JD Vance repeatedly chastised the Biden administration for allegedly losing track of some 320,000 minors who had crossed the border unaccompanied. “Our government, under the policies of Kamala Harris, has lost thousands of innocent children to sex trafficking, to drug trafficking, to human trafficking,” Vance said.

One year later, the fate of most of those children remains unknown. While the Trump administration has all but stopped the crush of migrants that occurred during Biden’s term, neither the government nor the nonprofits that were largely responsible for resettling this vulnerable population of unaccompanied minors have been able to tell RealClearInvestigations where they are living.

Experts say it’s likely that the overwhelming majority of unaccompanied minors remain off the grid because their parents, guardians, and caregivers do not want to draw the attention of immigration authorities. But they also acknowledge the likelihood that some of the migrant minors have been picked up by human traffickers and forced into exploitative labor and sexual roles – a criminal trend that’s on the rise in the U.S.

Alaska Blasted With Over 20 Aftershocks After Getting Rocked With Magnitude 7.0 Earthquake

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Alaska during the morning hours Saturday.

The earthquake struck at 11:41 a.m. local time northeast of Yakutat, Alaska, per the USGS.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that Yakutat had a population of approximately 657 in 2020, and in 2023, a total of 332 housing units. The USGS interactive map indicates that the community lies more than 300 miles from Anchorage, where the quake was also experienced.

Touring the Strip, IDF chief Zamir says Gaza ceasefire line ‘a new border’

“We will not allow Hamas to reestablish itself. We control large parts of the Gaza Strip and stand along [strategic] lines. The Yellow Line is a new border line, a forward defensive line for the communities and an offensive line,” he says during a tour of Beit Hanoun and Jabalia, according to remarks provided by the IDF.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier that Israel would soon enter phase two of the ceasefire deal, once the last hostage’s body is returned. In phase two, the IDF is supposed to gradually withdraw from its current lines if and when Hamas begins disarming.

“The vast majority of our hostages have returned, but our mission will not be complete until the final fallen hostage, Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, is brought back,” Zamir says.

The IDF chief tells forces that the military “must not be complacent; we must prepare across all arenas and maintain readiness and vigilance alongside adherence to operational norms.”

“The IDF is preparing for the scenario of a surprise war; this is one of the cornerstones of the upcoming multi-year plan,” Zamir adds.

Goldman is basically telling everyone that if the AI checks stop coming, the market is toast

Goldman: If the outlook on AI capex were to change dramatically, a reversion of long-term growth estimates back to early 2023 levels would imply 15-20% downside to the current valuation multiple of the S&P 500 according to GS Research macro valuation model.

An extreme scenario in which the hyperscalers cut capex back to 2022 levels would pose substantial downside risk to both the AI trade and the broad S&P 500. Hyperscaler capex totaled $158 billion in 2022, $275 billion below the expected level of capex among the group in 2026. If capex were to immediately revert back to 2022 levels, that “lost capex” would represent a reduction of roughly 30% to the consensus estimate of $1 trillion in 2026 S&P 500 sales growth.

As a result, revenue growth would decline from the current consensus estimate of 6% to roughly 4%. While the decline in near-term revenues would be modest, this extreme reduction in capex would likely be accompanied by a deterioration in the outlook for long-term AI-driven earnings growth, weighing on valuations as well.

TikTok is now censoring and removing the juice box emoji

The new owners don’t like freedom of speech so as usual they’ll take one thing away at a time until nothing is left. We are in the age of “it is illegal to think”

TikTok has reportedly begun removing comments containing the juice box emoji 🧃, and users across the platform say their posts are being flagged for violating policies related to “alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.” The sudden moderation move has stirred widespread confusion, especially since the emoji itself is typically associated with children, snacks, or casual online slang — not restricted substances.

According to user reports circulating across TikTok, comments featuring the emoji are being automatically deleted, while some creators claim that even captions and replies containing the symbol trigger warnings or takedowns. This has led many to question why the emoji is being filtered at all, and whether TikTok’s algorithm is targeting the icon due to coded meanings in certain online communities.

Deport antisemitic foreign students from UK, Tory MPs urge education secretary

In a letter written to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, politicians raised concerns about rising antisemitism on university campuses.

“Too many institutions that have spent years suppressing legitimate free speech and debate in the name of ‘diversity and inclusion’ have decided to turn a blind eye to genuine harassment and intimidation when it is directed against Jewish people,” said the letter.

“Failure to act sends a dangerous message to Jewish students and academics that their safety is not valued, and to perpetrators that they can harass Jewish students and staff with impunity… We can, and must, do better. Enough is enough.”

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp wrote on X/Twitter: “We must stand with this country’s Jewish community and fight with all our resolve and energy the ancient evil of antisemitism wherever it is found.”

'I'll die as a Zionist': Daniella Pick talks about life in TLV with husband Quentin Tarantino

Tarantino has been quoted as saying, "I love it [in Israel]. If I didn't love it, I wouldn't be there."

The couple has been living in Tel Aviv for years with their two children. When Hecht asked whether Tarantino thought about heading back to Hollywood as bombs fell on Tel Aviv during the war, Pick said, "Absolutely not. First of all, Quentin takes it the easiest way in the world. Most of the time, he wouldn't even go down to the shelter if I didn't tell him, and … I have two small children in my arms, so he helps me … He isn't afraid, and once he said something funny to me: 'Well, whatever. Like if something happens, I'll die as a Zionist.' So I said, ‘Well, OK."

It was never a question that the family would spend the war in their home in Israel. "It was during the war that Tarantino said, 'We'll be here.' It was clear,” she said.

Video: Wiping Gaza Off the Map: Big Money Agenda. Confiscating Palestines Maritime Natural Gas Reserves

“Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, “If All Goes to Plan”.

In the current context, Israel’s “All Goes to Plan” option consists in bypassing Palestine and “Wiping Gaza off the Map”, as well confiscating ALL Gaza’s maritime offshore gas reserves, worth billions of dollars.

The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013.

Texas Law Allowing Ivermectin To Be Sold Over The Counter Goes Into Effect

House Bill 25, signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott in August, allows pharmacies to sell the antiviral drug without a prescription.

Ivermectin gained popularity for off-label use during the COVID-19 pandemic, which influenced support and criticism of the measure. The drug was discovered in the 1970s and developed to treat parasites in humans and animals, and has been studied for its cancer-fighting properties.

Medical freedom advocates supported the bill, but others, such as the Texas Medical Association, worried about health risks to patients.

“Removing clinical involvement is a risk to patient safety,” the group said on its website.
