The White House said Russia and Ukraine have both agreed to "eliminate the use of force" in the Black Sea following talks in Saudi Arabia, a sign of progress toward the war-ending peace deal that U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to secure.
In two separate statements on the outcomes of the talks between the sides, the White House said Moscow and Kyiv had "agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea."
Moreover, the United States "will help restore Russia's access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower

Having lost the White House and being in the minority in both chambers of Congress, Democrats are leveraging their expansive network of left-wing district court judges to sabotage the implementation of President Donald Trump’s agenda.
In a single day this week, district court judges issued rulings blocking Trump’s executive order banning transgender individuals from enlisting or serving in the military, determined that dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency likely violated the Constitution, demanded the Trump administration provide details about flights transporting alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador on Saturday, and ordered the reinstatement of Department of Education grants

In February, Vice President J.D. Vance surprised many at the Munich Security Conference by raising concerns about the erosion of democratic values among our allies. He explicitly stated, “In Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat.” This caused no small amount of consternation on both sides of the Atlantic, but it clearly needed to be said. Even as American voters decisively returned free speech advocates to the Presidency, Senate and House of Representatives — the European Parliament passed and the EU is expeditiously implementing troubling censorship laws such as the Digital Services Act (DSA).

As of March 15, at least 46 federal court decisions involving Donald Trump's agenda or Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have at least temporarily paused some of these initiatives.There's a logjam of cases making their way from lower courts to the Supreme Court, where the fate of most of those initiatives will be decided. Trump knew that federal courts, with few exceptions, would oppose him. Most of the judges were appointed by Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and the cases have been filed in left-friendly districts like Boston, Maryland, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.
More than 160 lawsuits have been filed,

TURTLE CREEK, Pennsylvania — When Joe Mastrangelo joined the fledgling Eos Energy Storage in 2018 in Western Pennsylvania’s Mon Valley, he said the plan was to build the batteries in China and ship them back to the United States.
“That quickly changed to us moving all of the manufacturing back to the United States because it would be easier for us to scale up production. We ended up building a whole supply base to the point where 90% of the product made here comes from the United States,” he said.Mastrangelo is standing in the middle of one of the buildings in the massive 92-acre

In June 2021, Jon Stewart appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and ridiculed people that dismissed the possibility of a lab leak origin for Covid. He quipped: “Oh my God! There’s been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happened? ‘Oh, I don’t know, maybe a steam shovel mated with a cocoa bean.’ Or it’s the f---- chocolate factory! Maybe that’s it.”
At the time, former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called Stewart’s rhetoric “dangerous and short-sighted.” Washington Post columnist Paul Waldman fumed that “celebrities” shouldn’t be considered reliable sources of information and Forbes rounded up viewers uncomfortable with Stewart’s words.

If you have had difficulty finding some reason to support the Democratic Party and its increasingly bizarre policy positions, you are not alone. Two national polls released on Sunday reveal that the party’s favorability ratings have plunged to catastrophic lows. According to a new NBC News survey, just 27 percent of registered voters hold a positive view of the Democratic Party — its lowest rating since 1990. Likewise, a new CNN poll indicates that only 29 percent of U.S. adults regard the party favorably — a low not seen since 1992. These polls confirm an equally ominous Quinnipiac survey conducted last month.

Well ... fortnight, really. Their bad week started on March 4th and continued through last night. And there's always the promise of the week to come!
After staging an embarrassing display of impotence during Donald Trump's speech to Congress, one might have thought that Democrats would have learned a lesson. Instead, as Politico laments, they were just warming up:President Donald Trump’s week was poised to be bruising.
Instead, the president is ending it on a political high after he and congressional Republicans closed ranks and, with an assist from the looming specter of DOGE, cornered Democrats into voting to avert a government shutdown on their terms. Now, it’s Democrats

The Democrats have become and remain today a “Brahmin Left” party. “Brahmin Left” is a term coined by economist Thomas Piketty and colleagues to characterize Western left parties increasingly bereft of working-class voters and increasingly dominated by highly educated voters and elites, including of course our own Democratic Party. The Brahmin Left character of the party has evolved over many decades but spiked in the 21st century. The chart below illustrates this trend.

New polling from Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio shows Tudor Dixon, the steel executive turned conservative commentator, with an early lead over former Rep. Mike Rogers in the Michigan Republican primary for Senate, RealClearPolitics is first to report.
Neither Republican has yet declared. Both are expected to compete for the seat left wide open by Democratic Sen. Gary Peters who unexpectedly announced that he would not seek reelection in 2026.
The key in Michigan: Donald Trump.

I'm not entirely sure exactly what Meghan Markle is going for with her new show, “With Love, Meghan,” but I’m pretty sure few people understand it for the true comedic genius Netflix has graced us with. Styled as part cooking show, part lifestyle show, it’s jampacked with unoriginal ideas and tips you’ve definitely seen on Pinterest before.
Don’t get me wrong — as a living, moving Pinterest board, “With Love, Meghan” delivers a fabulous aesthetic

Before the recent election, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability asked then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to turn over all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) relating to ActBlue — not much happened. An SAR is a document that banks file with the Treasury Department pursuant to potentially fraudulent or illicit financial activity. Yellen stalled, presumably in the hope that the Democrats would win the House back in November and halt the investigation. That obviously didn’t happen and the new Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, is of course cooperating with the committee.This may well be what precipitated the sudden departure of seven senior officials from ActBlue in February.
