'He really worked hard at all the stuff he did'

Poland is no stranger to conflict with Russia. After World War II, Poland and other Slavic European nations spent more than a decade battling Russian aggression.   “It was a tragic, tragic struggle against Russians and their totalitarian rule,” Deputy Speaker of Poland’s Parliament Krzysztof Bosak explained during an interview with The Daily Signal, adding that the Polish people had the “will to fight.”  While a long way from reaching a decade, it has been nearly four years since Russia launched its full -scale invasion of Ukraine, and when considering how long the war between Russia and Ukraine should be permitted to continue, Bosak says “this is not the decision of any other nation than Ukraine.”   “This is up to them to decide how long they are going to fight, and for other nations and other countries to decide how long they are going to support Ukraine, and to what … extent,” the politically conservative Polish leader said.   Deputy Speaker of Poland’s Parliament Krzysztof Bosak delivers a speech in Warsaw, Poland, Oct. 15, 2023. (REUTERS/Lukasz Glowala) When considering if a long, even 10-year, conflict against Russia would be worth the fight, Bosak says that if the alternative is Russia conquering other countries, “it’s better to stop [Russia] in Ukraine.” On the other hand, it would be worth Ukraine giving up a little bit of land for a “peaceful coexistence” with Russia, he said.   The issue, according to Bosak, is that “nobody believes” giving Russia some Ukrainian territory is a “true alternative” to create lasting peace in the region.   “Russian strategy is always about extending their borders, their sphere of influence,” Bosak said.   “They have imperialism in their political DNA,” he continued, adding that in the past 100 years, when Russia has agreed to peace, it has only been to prepare for another war.   Efforts to Reach a Peace Deal President Donald Trump has been working to secure a peace deal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine since he returned to office in January. In November, Trump announced a 28-point plan for peace between Russia and Ukraine that would give the Crimea Peninsula and the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk to Russia. It would further declare current battle lines as the new borders of Ukraine and Russia.   As recently as Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy affirmed he will not agree to any plan that involves ceding Ukrainian territory to Russia.   “Do we consider ceding any territories? According to the law we don’t have such right,” Zelenskyy told reporters in a WhatsApp chat on Monday night, according to Politico.   “According to Ukraine’s law, our constitution, international law, and to be frank, we don’t have a moral right either,” Zelenskyy added.   Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear he will not agree to a deal that does not include Russia receiving at least some Ukrainian territory.   Putin said he believes Trump’s 28-point plan “could form the basis for a final peace settlement,” but neither he nor Zelenskyy endorsed it in its entirety.  Even if Trump is able to get Putin to agree to a deal, not only Ukraine, but also the Europeans will have to agree as well, Bosak said.   Russia Has ‘Upper Hand’ During an interview with Politico’s Dasha Burns on Monday, Trump said Russia has always had the “upper hand” in the fight because it is much larger than Ukraine.   “I give the people of Ukraine and the military of Ukraine tremendous credit for the, you know, bravery and for the fighting and all of that. But you know, at some point, size will win, generally,” Trump said.   The Trump administration rolled out a new 33-page national security strategy in recent days that addresses the U.S. relationship with Europe, and specifically the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.   It is the priority of the U.S., according to the newly released strategy, “to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities Reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state.”   Trump has repeatedly stressed he wants “hostilities” between Russia and Ukraine to end quickly, and despite both Russian and Ukrainian leaders expressing a desire to see the war end, neither Putin or Zelenskyy have indicated they are ready to compromise on the issue of territory.   The post How Long Could the War Between Russia and Ukraine Last?

Republican Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas says judges overruling President Donald Trump’s agenda amounts to “judicial tyranny.” Now, Gill is calling on Congress to end the judicial overreach via impeachment. “One of the biggest problems in the country right now is judicial tyranny,” Gill told The Daily Signal’s Tony Kinnett on The Tony Kinnett Cast. “It’s judges who are taking off their robes and acting as if they’re political operatives… active members of the Democrat party who are there to the Democrats’ bidding.” Gill criticized James “Jeb” Boasberg in particular, the President Barack Obama-appointed chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. “There are a few different things that we can do to solve that. One of them, which I think is a just and proper remedy, for instance, in this case of Judge Boasberg for several different things that he’s been involved in, is impeachment,” Gill said. Impeachment requires a simple majority in the House of Representatives. A trial would then take place in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority would be required. In particular, Gill criticized Boasberg for a March ruling, in which he ruled against Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act to send Venezuelan illegal immigrants on a deportation flight to El Salvador. Boasberg ordered that the flights be turned around. “I filed articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg earlier this year back in March whenever he demanded that the president turn a plane full of Tren de Aragua terrorists around mid-air and deposit the terrorists—illegal aliens—back into American communities,” Gill said. “I thought that was clearly an obvious abuse of power, a politicization of his court, a weaponization of his court against the president.” As part of his persistent campaign against these judges’ actions, Gill is also calling for hearings in to force judges to testify under oath before Congress. “I’m certainly hopeful, and I’ve been pushing for that. Not only for impeachment, but you know, to get to impeachment we need to have an investigation and both the House and the Senate are doing that right now,” Gill told The Daily Signal. Specifically, Gill says he would like to question Boasberg and others about his signing of gag orders which hid the Department of Justice’s Arctic Frost investigation into alleged attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election under President Joe Biden. Eight Republican senators allegedly had their phones tapped as part of the investigation. “I would love to bring not only the judge, but various other people involved in the Arctic Frost investigation before us to answer for what they were doing—weaponizing the federal government against their political enemies,” Gill told The Daily Signal.  “Really every major conservative organization, multiple sitting senators, pundits across the conservative spectrum who were being targeted in this investigation. They need to answer for that, and I think we would learn a lot by having them under oath with cameras on and giving us the ability to ask them questions. Boasberg’s media liaison did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The post Rep. Brandon Gill Calls for Judges to Be Impeached, Subpoenaed appeared first on The Daily Signal.

A Look Inside the Twisted Mind of a Lefty Law Enforcement Officer

Twin brothers were arrested Tuesday and charged with making terroristic death threats to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin. The brothers, Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores of New Jersey, allegedly threatened on social media, not only to torture and kill McLaughlin, but to also to shoot U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “on sight.” One of the brothers has been charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. As Fox News reports: “[O]ne of the brothers allegedly tweeted in a partially redacted response to a McLaughlin message: “‘We Americans should find you, tar you, feather you, and hang you as we did to anyone serving tyrants before the Revolutionary War.’ “A second partially redacted tweet, reportedly from the other brother, read: ‘Shoot ICE on sight.’” “We are NOT afraid of you,” DHS declared in a social media post, issuing a warning to other would-be attackers following the arrests: “Let this be a warning to anyone who dares threaten or attack our law enforcement and DHS officials. We will find you, we will arrest you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. “We are NOT afraid of you.” The demonization of immigration enforcement by Democrats and liberal media has reportedly fueled an 8,000% increase in the number of death threats against ICE law enforcement officers.  

Opponents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations are thrilled over a viral video showing a priest publicly condemning ICE agents from his church.The priest stands defiantly outside of a church bellowing against ICE and mocking President Donald Trump before his supporters applaud and clap at his speech.'I don't know what god you worship, maybe an orange one, but my God is love! Now go and don’t come back!'And it's completely fake."You're not welcome here, not today, and not on this church! I don't know what god you worship, maybe an orange one, but my God is love!" the priest yells. "Now go, and don't come back!"The post was published Dec. 1 and has garnered tens of thousands of views, but it depicts events that never happened and are generated by artificial intelligence, according to PolitiFact.The user who posted the video apparently sells courses on how to make money with AI content on social media. That user has also posted numerous videos with a similar script on several platforms, including Facebook and TikTok.PolitiFact said AI-detecting software indicated the video was "99.9% likely to contain AI-generated or deepfake content."One version of the priest AI video was published on PolitiFact's YouTube channel. A separate version with the same script was posted to the X platform as well.RELATED: Los Angeles Democrats vote to ban ICE from using masks — DOJ issues defiant response While that video is fake, there are some liberal church leaders who have used their religious platforms to protest against immigration. The Lake Street Church of Evanston in Illinois created a Nativity scene in which the baby Jesus was put in zip ties to depict him as being hunted by ICE.In another protest from Saint Susanna Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, the Nativity scene is empty, and a sign reads, "ICE was here," implying that they dragged away the holy family. The Boston archdiocese has called for its removal, but the church is resisting.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

The creator of ICEBlock, an iPhone app that allows users to report sightings of federal immigration agents, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday over alleged violations of free speech.The app's website describes ICEBlock as "an innovative, completely anonymous, crowdsourced platform that allows users to report Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity with just two taps on their phone."'ICE tracking apps put the lives of the men and women of law enforcement in danger as they go after terrorists, vicious gangs, and violent criminal rings.'In the lawsuit, the app's creator, Joshua Aaron, admitted that he created the program in response to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement crackdown. Aaron claimed that he feared President Donald Trump's "incendiary rhetoric about immigration would lead to aggressive, indiscriminate enforcement of immigration laws, exposing immigrants and citizens alike to violence and rampant violations of their civil liberties.""Aaron was right," the lawsuit contended.Aaron's complaint accused the Trump administration of retaliation, threats, and false claims, citing comments from several federal officials, including Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who said the app "looks like obstruction of justice," and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who said it was "not protected speech."RELATED: House Democrats' ICE 'tracker' will 'put our lives in danger': DHS agent Photo by John Moore/Getty Images"[Aaron] believes that speech about publicly observed law and immigration enforcement activity — the expression enabled by ICEBlock — lies at the heart of the interests the First Amendment was intended to protect," the complaint read. "The Bill of Rights — including the First Amendment — was crafted precisely to safeguard the People's ability to question authority, expose governmental abuse, and hold public officials accountable: a reflection of the founders' belief that an informed and vocal citizenry is the ultimate guardian of liberty."The suit alleged that the app was ultimately removed from Apple's App Store because of pressure from the Trump administration.RELATED: ICE locks up pedophiles, other violent illegal aliens as DHS launches ‘worst of the worst’ searchable site Photographer: Christopher Dilts/Bloomberg via Getty Images"ICE tracking apps put the lives of the men and women of law enforcement in danger as they go after terrorists, vicious gangs, and violent criminal rings. Our law officers are facing more than a 1,150% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement provided to Blaze News."But, of course, the media spins this correct decision for Apple to remove these apps as them caving to pressure instead of preventing further bloodshed and stopping law enforcement from getting killed," McLaughlin added.Like Blaze News?
