Today in 1914, British, French & Belgian troops engage the German army at the First Battle of Ypres. It marks the first major clash following the stabilization of the front lines and the beginning of the trench warfare phase of the conflict. Each side loses roughly 130,000 men.

Today in 1812, Napoleon's Grande Armée abandons Moscow and begins what will become a hellish two-month retreat from Russia. More than 650,000 troops invaded the country in June; by December, fewer than 100,000 remain. Combat, disease, famine and bitter cold claim the most lives.

California was first.
And what happened here should be a warning to the rest of America.
The stakes could not be higher this November.

The Trump story is a corruption story.
A $2.2 BILLION grift.
And the American people are paying the price.

Netanyahu pitches Americans on why the Iran War needs to keep going and why they should keep paying for it at the pump, saying prices would be even higher without the war if Iran got nuclear weapons. He then praises Trump for the war.
Netanyahu to Americans:
If you're worried about today's gas prices, think of what will happen if Iran gets nuclear weapons, something that Trump and I will never allow.
And when that happens, when that threat of that regime disappears, gas prices will go down.
But only under Trump. It's not going to happen with those who want to accommodate and appease these tyrants.

Trump is siding with Russia. Again.
He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets.
Ukraine actually STOPPED hitting refineries after Trump announced his fake ceasefire, as a show of good faith. Russia kept attacking anyway.
And Trump claims Russia is doing “very little” to help Iran, even though multiple officials have testified that Russia is actively helping Iran.
