LOS ANGELES (OC).--Riots broke out in the streets of Minneapolis after the Jan. 7 shooting death of Rene Good at the hands of Immigration, Customs and Enforcement [ICE] Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, resisting federal efforts to police illegal immigration in the Somali community connected to massive fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid health systems.  Walz ended his bid to run for an unprecedented third term Jan. 5, largely due to the fact he’s under investigation for presiding over the biggest...

LOS ANGELES (OC)Playing the European Union [EU] for a fool, 47-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proved President Donald Trump 100% right that he’s the greatest salesman he’s ever seen.  Trump figured Zelensky out early, refusing to let Zelensky gaslight the U.S. for one more minute after former President Joe Biden fell right into Zelensky’s trap.  Zelensky told Biden that his war with the Kremlin defended European democracy, something so preposterous it’s hard to believe the EU bought Zelensky’s claptrap. ...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--Since violent street protests broke out around Iran Dec. 26, 2025, Iran’s mullah government of 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ali Khhamenei has been cracking down, calling the agitators agents of Israel and the United States. Khamenei has recently gone to war with Israel June 13, 2025 to June 24, 2025, with the U.S. joining in June 24, 2025 with Operation Midnight Hammer.  Trump joined Israel’s bombing campaign against Iran’s nuclear sites sending in the B-2 Stealth bombers to hit Iran’s nuclear...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--Deputy Chairman and war hawk of Russia’s Security Council said Greeland could vote to join the Russian Federation if President Donald Trump doesn’t act quickly to secure the vast Arctic island officially independent but considered Danish territory.  Danish and Greenland officials have rejected Trump’s overtures to buy the island from Denmark with a value somewhere around $50 billion or more.  A far cry from President Andrew Johnson’s 1867 purchase of Alaska for $7.2 million.  So far, Demark has shown no...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--Mowing down hundreds, if no thousands of protesters, 79-year-old President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that if the mullah government continued to liquidate protesters he would consider military intervention.  Iran responded typically by threatening war with the U.S. and Israel, something neither country fears after the 12-day war in June 2025 on its nuclear facilities.  Before Trump joined the Israeli War with Iran, Israeli Prime Minister exposed Iran as a paper tiger, unable to defend its own air...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko, 54, urged residents to get out of Kiev because of recent Russian drone and missile attacks that have cut power and water to a majority of the city.  Klitschko sees no quick end to the Ukraine War, despite all the efforts by President Donald Trump to end the war with a pace plan largely viewed by the Kremlin as acceptable.  Ukraine’s 47-year-old PresidentVolodymyr Zelensky and his friends at the EU support not giving in to Russian President Vladimir Putin who insists on...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--Demark and Greenland rejected Trump’s bid to takeover the world’s largest arctic island with a population of 57,000, largely Inuits, native peoples that inhabit remote parts of the Island.  President Donald Trump has been asking Demark and Greenland to cut a deal, something potentially worth some $50 billion for the strategic arctic island currently without a military, vulnerable to any takeover by Russia or China.  Russia and China have a vested interest in the Arctice zone largely because to the rare...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni asked the European Union to dialogue with 73-year-old Russia President Vladimir Putin about ending the Ukraine War.  For the past four years the EU shared the the burden of funding proxy war with the Kremlin, all but destroying U.S. and EU-Russian relations.  Only since President Donald Trump came to power Jan. 20, 2025 did the U.S. switch gears, refusing to continue subsidizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.  Zelensky decided to cozy up the the EU realizing...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--Striking Lviv with a nuclear-capable intermediate range Oreshnik missile in Western Ukraine close to the European Union border, 73-year-old President Vladimir Putin sent a strong message to Washington and Brussels that’s he’s not happy with Ukraine or U.S. actions in Venezuela.  Putin responded to Ukraine’s drone attacks on Moscow, showing that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has taken a more aggressive stance on the nearly four-year=old Ukraine War.  Firing the Oreshnik only 40 miles from the EU...

LOS ANGELES (OC).--French President Emmauel Macron, 48, ripped the United States for President Donald Trump’s recent actions in Venezuela, arresting 63-year-old dictator Nicolas Maduro and his 69-year-old wife, Cilia Flores.  Maduro was accused of narco-terrorism by U.S. officials, currently facing charges in Manhattan U.S. district court.  “The United States is an established power, but it is progressively turning away from some of its allies and breaking away from international rules that it protected until recently,”...
