Six Officials In Zelensky’s Ukrainian Govt Resign, Signaling Major Reshuffle.

At least six prominent officials in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s government submitted letters of resignation on Tuesday, signaling a significant reshuffling of the country’s political leadership. Strategic Industries Minister Oleksandr Kamyshin—who oversees weapons production—stepped down in anticipation of a new appointment.

Kamyshin’s announcement precedes the resignations of Deputy Prime Ministers Olha Stefanishyna and Iryna Vereshchuk, Justice Minister Denys Maliuska, and Ecology Minister Ruslan Strilets. Vitalii Koval, who oversees the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), also resigned. The resignations were submitted to Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk, who leads the country’s unicameral parliament.

The departures will leave nearly a third of President Zelensky‘s cabinet position vacant after the leader fired several ministers earlier this year. David Arakhamia, who heads Zelensky’s Servant of the People’s Party, stated that a significant government reshuffle was underway.

“Tomorrow is the day of dismissals, and the day after that is the day of appointments,” said Arakhamia in response to the resignation announcements.

It is speculated that Zelensky will attempt to fill his cabinet vacancies quickly ahead of a planned U.S. visit later this month. The Ukrainian leader intends to appeal to American lawmakers, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, to supply the country with more aid in its ongoing war with Russia.

In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces launched an incursion into Russian territory—threatening the city of Kursk. While the move appears to have been intended to draw Russian troops away from front-line positions in Ukraine, it has thus far had little impact. Currently, the Russian military continues to push toward the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a strategic rail hub for supplying Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region. If the city is captured, it could imperil Ukrainian troops to the south with possible encirclement.

Polish Globalist Minister Advocates Shooting Down Russian Missiles Over Ukraine.

Poland’s globalist foreign minister said his country should intercept and neutralize Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory before they breach its airspace on Monday. Radoslaw Sikorski’s remarks, made during an interview with the Financial Times, come despite NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg opposing the action.

Sikorski emphasized the necessity of protecting national airspace independently of NATO’s stance, suggesting that objects heading toward Poland warrant action before reaching Polish skies. He underscored that safeguarding airspace is a constitutional duty for each NATO member.

“Membership in NATO does not trump each country’s responsibility for the protection of its own airspace,” Sikorski said. He also described such actions as legitimate self-defense, highlighting the potential risks from missile debris should they enter national territory.

Sikorski is noted for his anti-Russian stance. Prior to becoming Foreign Minister, he posted on social media a ‘thank you’ to the United States for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline. However, last month, it was revealed the Ukrainians may have conducted the operation as Germany issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national they believe responsible for the pipeline’s destruction.

In July, Poland signed an agreement with Kiev, permitting the interception of missiles over Ukraine. Nonetheless, the Polish government indicated it would not intervene in Ukrainian airspace without prior consultation with other NATO members. Meanwhile, NATO has consistently declined requests to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, citing the risk of direct military confrontation with Russia.

Just last week, an unidentified object, likely a military drone, crossed into Polish airspace from Ukraine. The Polish armed forces could not engage the object due to its unidentified nature.

Illegals Responsible for 75 Percent of Midtown Manhattan Crime: Police.

Police sources estimate three out of every four individuals apprehended for assault, domestic violence, and robbery in Midtown Manhattan are illegal aliens. Law enforcement officers in Queens estimate that “over 60 percent” of those arrested for similar offenses in their area are illegals.

New York Police Department (NYPD) officers face challenges due to sanctuary laws, which hinder cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“I would say about 75 percent of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents, and selling counterfeit items,” a Midtown police source told the New York Post. Another source estimated “more than 60 percent” of arrestees in Jackson Heights, Queens, are migrants, while a Queens Criminal Courthouse officer said, “Almost every case is a migrant.”

Officers described how “Roosevelt Avenue and 91st Street looks like a scene from ‘Casablanca’ with all the vendors… The area has become a Third World country, and it seems like City Hall doesn’t care about the taxpayers who live and work here.”

An NYPD spokesman told the Post that, officially, “Police officers are prohibited from asking about the immigration status of crime victims, witnesses, or suspects, and therefore, the NYPD doesn’t track data pertaining to immigration statuses.”

Since spring 2022, approximately 210,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in New York City, with the ongoing migrant crisis projected to cost the city $10 billion over the next three years.

Illegal Alien Arrested for Stabbing 14-Year-Old Girl at Brother’s Baseball Game.

An illegal immigrant who is believed to have ties to organized criminal gangs was arrested over the Labor Day weekend for stabbing a 14-year-old girl at a baseball game in northwest Indiana. Law enforcement hunted for the suspect for nearly a day following the Saturday stabbing. Eventually, 26-year-old Dimas Gabriel Yanez—a Honduran national—was arrested on Sunday after being cornered in a cornfield.

According to multiple accounts, the illegal Honduran immigrant stabbed the girl in the hand with a “butcher-style knife” and attempted to stab her mother.

Yanez had previously been deported to Honduras in 2018 under former President Donald J. Trump. Investigators state that the 26-year-old illegal became involved with organized criminal enterprises after illegally reentering the United States.

Because of the proximity of the stabbing to Chicago, some are pointing the finger at the city’s Democratic mayor, Brandon Johnson, and his sanctuary policies for sheltering Yanez. It remains unclear, however, if the Honduran traveled from Chicago to the baseball game.

“After an intense manhunt and an eventual foot pursuit, a person of interest in the weekend stabbing of a teenager in Lowell was taken into custody this afternoon,” Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr. said in a statement. “Investigators have learned Yanez had been deported to Honduras in 2018 and may have been engaged in criminal activity across the United States since returning to the country illegally.”

“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been notified of his arrest,” Martinez added.

The sheriff notes that Yanez appeared to be cutting his hair to change his appearance when he was encountered and eventually apprehended by law enforcement.

Top Democrat Aide Arrested as Agent of Communist China.

A former deputy chief of staff for Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has been arrested by federal law enforcement for acting as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of the People’s Republic of China and accepting kickbacks from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Linda Sun and her husband, Chris Hu, were taken into custody early Tuesday morning after a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid on their multi-million dollar Long Island residence.

The Democrat aide worked as an Asian-American affairs liaison under former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) before being elevated to deputy chief of staff under Hochul. Sun was later transferred to the state’s Department of Labor, where she was fired earlier this year over undisclosed “misconduct” allegations.

According to the now unsealed 64-page federal indictment, Sun and Hu coordinated efforts to advance the interests of the CCP in New York. The ex-aide to the Democratic governor is accused of blocking attempts by the Taiwanese government to meet with Hochul and editing the statements of undisclosed state leaders to be more friendly towards Communist China.

“The defendant and her husband actually worked to further the interests of the Chinese government and the CCP,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement following the unsealing of the indictment. “The illicit scheme enriched the defendant’s family to the tune of millions of dollars.”

Federal prosecutors allege that Sun and Hu took millions of dollars in payments from the Chinese Communist regime in exchange for aiding the foreign influence operation. Some of the money taken by the couple was used in the purchase of their $4.1 million Long Island, New York home.

Sun is a close ally of Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-NY). She is the latest Democrat to be arrested in connection to a foreign influence scheme.

Jobless Migrants Costing UK Over $11.1 BILLION Per Year.

A record number of jobless migrants in the United Kingdom are costing the country at least £8.5 billion (~$11.14 billion) annually. Around 1.68 million migrants are either looking for work or are classed as “economically inactive.”

Government Office for National Statistics (ONS) data suggests that the 2024 jobs figures represent the highest migrant joblessness rate since 2012. When social services, healthcare, transport, and other costs are considered, estimated costs to taxpayers could be far higher than £8.5 billion pounds, skyrocketing to as much as £20.3 billion (~$26.6 billion) a year.

Robert Bates, research director at the Centre for Migration Control, says the new leftist Labour government should stop handing out long-term visas when so many migrants are not working.

“This is the very definition of a Ponzi scheme, and we will only compound the problem if we do not change course soon,” he said.

Britain has seen unprecedented illegal and legal migration in recent years, with net immigration running at 764,000 in 2022. This is significantly straining the housing supply. To alleviate the problem and help build new homes, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner wants the country bring in even more migrants on supposedly “temporary” visas.

Other Western nations are also dealing with significant unemployment among their migrant populations. In Sweden, migrant unemployment is often several orders of magnitude above native-born Swedes. Migrants also account for around 80 percent of all welfare fraud in the country.

Meanwhile, the Danish Finance Ministry published a report noting that migrants from at least 24 different Muslim-majority countries make no net contribution to public finances.

Britain Suspends Arms Sales to Israel.

Britain’s far-left government is suspending a portion of its arms sales to Israel, alleging a “clear risk” that they could potentially be utilized in ways that violate international humanitarian law. In a statement to Parliament on Monday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the suspension will affect 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to Israel.

The suspension targets supplies that might be used in the ongoing conflict in Gaza against Hamas, but some exports, such as parts for F-35 fighter jets, will continue.

“It is with regret that I inform the House [of Commons] today that the assessment I have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than that for certain UK arms exports to Israel, there does exist a clear risk that they might be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law,” Lammy said.

“We recognize, of course, Israel’s need to defend itself against security threats, but we are deeply worried by the methods that Israel’s employed, and by reports of civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure particularly,” the Labour Party politician added.

According to Gaza’s Hamas-controlled Health Ministry, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict over the past ten months.

IMPLICATIONS.

British arms exports make up less than one percent of Israel’s total arms purchases, so the move is unlikely to have a significant impact on the course of the war. It is likely intended mainly for domestic consumption, with Muslims in Britain, generally loyal to Labour, turning away from the party over Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s insufficient support for Gaza.

Several Labour politicians, including a member of the then-Shadow Cabinet, lost their seats to pro-Gaza independents in the July 4 snap election. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has been filmed telling a council of Muslim elders she owes her parliamentary seat to their support and promising to recognize Palestinian statehood.

British cities, in particular the hyper-diverse capital of London, where only 36.8 percent of residents were classed as White British in the latest census, have been regularly disrupted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.

Veterans Slam Walz as ‘Military Impersonator,’ ‘Habitual Liar,’ ‘Coward.’

Veterans discussing their experiences with Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) in the National Guard on Monday called him a “habitual liar,” a “coward,” and a “deserter.” Speaking to Megyn Kelly, Tom Behrends, Paul Herr, Tom Schilling, and Rodney Tow focused much of their ire on Walz’s claims that he was unaware of his unit’s impending deployment to Iraq before taking early retirement.

The veterans accuse Walz of using his military service for personal gain, labeling him a “military impersonator.” They cite Walz’s consistent dishonesty, stating, “He lies about everything. He lies about stuff that doesn’t make sense.”

While Walz has claimed he did not know his unit would deploy to Iraq, the veterans say this is untrue, with one saying the Democrat personally told him the unit could “count on” him to deploy. They described Walz’s decision to retire—an option two of them could have taken, but did not—as “morally indefensible.”

One, who had to fill Walz‘s position after he left, said of the retirement, “Who the hell does that? It was just unbelievable that a [Command Sergeant Major] abandoned his troops, 500 soldiers.”

“I don’t know how he can live with himself after he did that to his soldiers,” another agreed.

STOLEN VALOR, STOLEN THUNDER.

Walz retired from the Minnesota National Guard as an E-8 Master Sergeant, not as a Command Sergeant Major—because he did not complete his qualifications for the more senior rank due to his abrupt departure.

The veterans expressed fear Walz’s embellishments—he also claims to have carried weapons “in war” during an anti-gun rights speech, despite never deploying to a combat zone—will detract from other veterans’ credibility.

“You’re taking a piece of their thunder, and you’re trying to capture it and put it in a bottle for yourself, and use that for your own benefit,” they said.

Speaking on the fact that former President Donald J. Trump is not a veteran, they said, “President Donald Trump decided to do battle in a different form, and at least, you know what, he’s been shot by the enemy.”

“The enemy closed in and took action against a former president of this country and tried to kill him, and he got wounded in action fighting for the rights and the constitution of this country.”

Five Shot at Afro-Caribbean West Indian Day Parade in NYC.

Five people were shot in Brooklyn, New York, during the West Indian American Day festival parade on Monday. A man opened fire into the crowd, leaving two in critical condition. New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Patrol John Chell says the shooting was an intentional attack, but the parade continued regardless.

“This was not random,” Chell said. “This was an intentional act by one person towards a group of people. We do not by no means have any active shooter or anything of that nature running around Eastern Parkway,” he insisted.

Chief Chell says the victims include four men and one woman. The suspect is described as a black man in his twenties with a slim build. He reportedly wore a black shirt with paint stains and a black bandanna. His motive is currently unknown.

The crowded parade route saw thousands of attendees celebrating West Indian (Caribbean) heritage and culture. It regularly sees outbreaks of violence, with several people shot or stabbed to death in recent years. For instance, a gunman shot and killed Carey Gabay, a staffer for former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, while he was serving as an honorary marshal for the event in 2015.

Police officers despise working the parade, with officers in a Facebook group titled ‘No More West Indian Day Detail’ caught describing it as a “bloodbath” and attendees as “savages” in 2011.

The Notting Hill Carnival celebrating Afro-Caribbean culture in London, England, is similarly controversial. This year’s carnival, in late, August saw eight stabbings. Two of the victims, including a 38-year-old woman stabbed in front of her three-year-old daughter, died.

The carnival saw at least 13 sexual assaults and 61 assaults on police officers, and an initial 349 arrests.

Earthquake: Anti-Mass Migration Populists Win Big in European State Elections.

The right-populist, anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has won state elections in Thuringia and near-tied the establishment Christian Democratic Union (CDU), formerly led by Angela Merkel, in Saxony. The AfD has won an enormous share of the youth and working-class votes, in particular.

Led by Björn Höcke, the AfD in Thuringia is projected to have won over 33 percent of the vote on Sunday, up around 10 points on their previous showing in 2019. The CDU looks to be far behind, at around 25 percent. The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), a new, left-populist party that opposes mass migration, is third, at around 15 percent.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Olaf Scholz‘s left-wing Social Democratic Party (SPD) is at around 6 percent. His party’s coalition partners, the far-left Greens and neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP), have a statistically zero percent share of the vote.

In Saxony, the AfD appears to have secured a near-tie with the CDU, with both coming in around 40 percent. The SPD seems to have secured around 7 percent—its worst-ever result in Saxony. The Greens and FDP have also fared poorly, with the latter dropping to under one percent—their worst-ever result in any state election.

IMPLICATIONS.

While the AfD and the notionally right-wing CDU would enjoy legislative supermajorities in a coalition, the latter has refused to work with the former under any circumstances. Despite Merkel declaring multiculturalism had “utterly failed” in 2010, she opened the borders during the 2015-16 migrant crisis, with the SPD and its partners displacing her party after four terms in office in 2021.

However, the SPD has experienced a rapid collapse in support due to migrant crime worsening under their stewardship, and the Russia sanctions war and net zero policies driving up costs.

It will be difficult for the CDU to form governments without the AfD, given the level of support the populists achieved, and the unpopularity of attempting to form a “grand coalition” with the SPD and other left-leaning parties.

Germany’s establishment right, left, and far left also face long-term challenges, with the AfD winning a large plurality of the working-class vote in Thuringia and Saxony, and performing very strongly among younger voters. There are signs Germany’s youth are increasingly unhappy with mass migration and multiculturalism, with the viral song “Foreigners Out” spreading over the summer.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron faces a similar situation. The success of Marine Le Pen‘s populist National Rally (RN) in the recent European and national elections has left his faction in the legislature unable to form a government without the help of various far-left parties.
