A trap? Behind Putin’s change of heart on direct talks with Ukraine
In a surprising U-turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday said he was willing to hold direct talks with Kyiv for the first time in years on a Ukrainian proposal to halt strikes on civilian infrastructure for 30 days. By saying he was ready to speak to the “Kyiv regime” rather than the Ukrainian government or Ukrainian authorities, Putin made a semantic choice “to imply [Zelensky’s government] is not legitimate”, says Hawn. Putin may be swapping kamikaze drones for an olive branch just to prove he’s making an effort for US President Donald Trump.

According To Supreme Court Precedent, The United States Of America Is A Christian Nation
These days, if you dare to suggest that the United States is a Christian nation or that it should be a Christian nation, you are likely to get viciously attacked. There are many voices on the left that have convinced themselves that America has never been a Christian nation and that it will never be a Christian nation.

Rather, in our system of government matters of law are settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken very clearly on this matter.
