Ukraine's President Zelenskyy seeks BIG WAR CHANGE on the front lines.

Zelenskyy’s “freeze” proposal is a public offer of an immediate ceasefire that locks the current front lines in place as a first step toward ending the war, followed by negotiations and security guarantees.In an October 21, 2026 interview on Fox News’ Fox & Friends with Brian Kilmeade, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked whether he would accept a peace deal that freezes fighting “the way it is right now,” with Ukraine retaining roughly 75% or more of its territory. 

He answered yes:

“Right now, we have to freeze, and I think this is a real way to end this war. We call it ceasefire or ‘stop killing’ like President Trump called it. Freeze and stop. And, of course, this is the minimum of what we need from Russia today. Then… we will go to the president and to Europeans and we’ll ask security guarantees.” 

Core elements of the proposal

• Immediate halt to fighting along existing lines (a ceasefire, not a final treaty).
• No formal recognition of Russian control over occupied areas and no voluntary cession of additional territory (especially Donbas). Zelenskyy has stressed that Russia has not achieved decisive battlefield success in 2026 and that negotiations should start from current positions. 
• Security guarantees from the United States and European partners as the essential next step, so Ukrainians are “not afraid that occupation will come back, aggression will come back, killings will come back.”
• Practical goals: stop the killing, enable the return of millions of displaced people, and allow reconstruction. 

Context and timingThe statement came amid active U.S.-mediated diplomacy. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg the same day, and the Kremlin indicated willingness to resume trilateral talks (U.S.–Russia–Ukraine) around early November. Zelenskyy’s comments align with reported U.S. thinking about freezing lines as a possible starting point for a settlement. 

BREAKING: Russia releases detained American, Steve Wifkoff reveals.

Stephen James Hubbard, a 74-year-old retired American English teacher from Big Rapids, Michigan, was released by Russia on October 21, 2026. 

BackgroundHubbard served in the U.S. Air Force and National Guard. He lived and taught English in Japan for about 25 years, later moved to Cyprus, and settled around 2014 in the eastern Ukrainian city of Izium (Izyum) with a Ukrainian partner. He lived on a small pension and did some online teaching. Detention and ChargesRussian forces detained him in April 2022 in Izium, shortly after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine (the city was occupied at the time). Russia accused him of acting as a mercenary: joining a Ukrainian territorial defense unit, receiving training/weapons/ammunition, manning a checkpoint, and being paid roughly $1,000 per month. He was held in multiple facilities, tried in a closed-door Moscow court, and sentenced in October 2024 to six years and 10 months under Russian Criminal Code Article 359. His family and U.S.-based lawyer have denied the charges, stating he was not in any combat or military unit. The U.S. State Department designated him as “wrongfully detained”—he was the only American in Russian custody with that designation at the time of his release. Russia restricted consular access for extended periods. The Release

Communism appeals to the ‘WORST OF HUMAN NATURE’: Mao revolution survivor.

Mao’s Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) and related campaigns explicitly mobilized class hatred, resentment, and violence. Red Guards and others were encouraged to denounce, humiliate, beat, and sometimes kill teachers, family members, “bourgeois” elements, and anyone labeled an enemy of the people. 

Historians such as Frank Dikötter and survivor-authors such as Jung Chang (who lived through the period as a teenager and later wrote Wild Swans and co-authored Mao: The Unknown Story) document the scale of betrayal, sadism, destruction of culture, and mass suffering. Chang has described the violence and atrocities as going against her own nature and detailed Mao’s indifference to the deaths of tens of millions (Great Leap Forward famine estimates commonly range from ~30–45 million; overall democide under Mao is estimated in the tens of millions by various scholars). 

Communist ideology’s emphasis on class struggle has long been analyzed by critics as appealing to envy, resentment, and the desire for revenge against the better-off or designated “class enemies,” rather than primarily to reason or higher cooperative instincts. This is distinct from the common counter-argument that “human nature” is socially shaped and that capitalism encourages greed. 

In practice, fully implemented 20th-century communist regimes repeatedly required terror, purges, and the suppression of ordinary incentives and loyalties to maintain power, producing some of the highest death tolls of the modern era.

On the “worst of human nature” claim specifically, economic and psychological evidence supports key parts of it. Systems that sever the link between individual effort and reward (and that actively punish the more productive while redistributing to others) create strong incentives for free-riding, shirking, corruption, and cheating.

NUCLEAR BOMBSHELL: USA President Trump wants denuclearization talks with Putin and XI.

 

NEW: Ilhan Omar's sister spoke with feds after FBI raid on her house.

Ilhan Omar's older sister, Sahra Noor, voluntarily spoke with federal investigators last week following a Homeland Security Investigations raid on Omar's Washington, D.C. home.

The October 12 raid was part of an ongoing immigration fraud probe examining whether Omar or her family falsified information on citizenship paperwork; Noor's phone was seized earlier, yielding family texts used to secure the search warrant.

Noor, who lives in Kenya and was promoting her book in the U.S., canceled a Minnesota book event citing a family emergency; the case involves subpoenas to relatives and is before a federal grand jury in Minnesota.

The investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar remains an active, ongoing federal criminal probe focused on potential immigration fraud involving her family’s paperwork from the 1990s (including possible false statements about age, birth date, or her late father’s background when seeking citizenship or derivative status). No charges or indictments have been filed against Omar or family members as of October 20, 2026. The case is in the pre-indictment evidence-gathering stage before a federal grand jury in Minnesota. Key developments include:

• A court-authorized Homeland Security Investigations search of her D.C. home on October 12, during which agents seized her phone, passport, computers, and other items. A magistrate judge had placed some limits on access to materials due to her status as a member of Congress. 
• Subpoenas issued to relatives, including her sister Sahra Noor. Noor voluntarily spoke with investigators last week (the development reported today). 
• Collection of DNA samples as part of the inquiry. Sources have indicated investigators are examining longstanding allegations (such as possible false statements on forms) and that one aim could be building a case for denaturalization if fraud is established. Statute-of-limitations issues for older conduct have been noted in reporting. 

Omar’s attorneys sent a letter on October 16 accusing the Justice Department of violating the judge’s search protocols, demanding the return of seized property and preservation of any recordings. The DOJ has disputed the letter’s claims and said agents complied with court orders. Omar has denied any wrongdoing and described the probe as politically motivated. Prior reviews of similar issues (including under a previous administration) reportedly found no basis for action. The probe is continuing, with the latest public development being Noor’s voluntary interview.

“We will not let Communist Party of China define who we are,” says Taiwan’s Vice President Hsiao Bi-Khim, who has been sanctioned by Beijing and labeled a “separatist.”

The cross-strait situation refers to the unresolved political and military dispute between the People’s Republic of China (PRC, based in Beijing) and Taiwan (officially the Republic of China, or ROC). Beijing claims Taiwan as an inalienable part of its territory and seeks eventual unification; Taiwan operates as a self-governing democracy that has never been ruled by the PRC.After the Chinese Civil War, the ROC government retreated to Taiwan in 1949 while the Communist Party established the PRC on the mainland. 

The two sides have remained separate ever since, with no peace treaty. The PRC’s official position is the “One China Principle”: there is only one China, Taiwan is part of it, and the PRC is its sole legal government. It prefers “peaceful reunification” under a “one country, two systems” formula but has not renounced the use of force. Taiwan’s government rejects subordination to Beijing. Public opinion on the island has shifted strongly toward a distinct Taiwanese identity; most people favor maintaining the status quo rather than formal independence or unification.The United States follows its own “One China policy,” which acknowledges Beijing’s claim without endorsing it. 

Under the Taiwan Relations Act, the U.S. provides defensive arms to Taiwan and maintains “strategic ambiguity” about whether it would intervene militarily if the island were attacked. Taiwan has formal diplomatic relations with only a small number of countries; most of the world, including the United States, recognizes the PRC while conducting unofficial ties with Taipei.Since the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) returned to power, tensions have risen. President Lai Ching-te and Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim have emphasized Taiwan’s separate democratic identity and closer security cooperation with the United States and other partners. 

Beijing has responded with sanctions on Taiwanese officials (including Hsiao, whom it labels a “diehard separatist”), large-scale military exercises, frequent air and naval incursions near the island, economic pressure, and efforts to peel away Taiwan’s remaining diplomatic allies. These are often described as “gray zone” tactics short of open war. Taiwan has increased defense spending and pursued “asymmetric” capabilities aimed at raising the cost of any invasion, while also seeking to diversify its economy away from heavy reliance on the mainland.

The core disagreement remains status: Beijing treats any move toward formal independence or permanent separation as a red line, while Taiwan’s elected leaders and much of its public reject being defined or absorbed by the Chinese Communist Party. No near-term resolution is in sight, and the risk of miscalculation around the Taiwan Strait is widely viewed as one of the more serious flashpoints in the Indo-Pacific.

French riots send WARNING to USA as 1,800 arrested, city hall TORCHED.

France is dealing with the aftermath of its worst urban unrest in years, which erupted over the weekend.

On Saturday, October 17, nationwide protests over the cost of living, rising prices, declining public services, and school conditions drew an estimated 550,000 people (authorities’ figure; organizers cited higher numbers around 800,000). The marches, building on a month of student protests and involving unions and others, largely began peacefully but escalated into widespread rioting, looting, arson, and clashes in multiple cities including Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and Limoges.

The most striking damage was in Limoges, where a 19th-century neo-Renaissance town hall was set ablaze by masked groups; the roof and spire collapsed, and the building was largely destroyed—a “heritage catastrophe,” according to local officials. Hundreds of shops were looted or damaged, vehicles and barricades burned, and other public buildings (including a tourist office in Lyon) were attacked. Police reported nearly 2,400 arrests and close to 1,000 officers and emergency personnel injured. There were also reports of a protester death (cardiac arrest) and serious injuries, including from crowd-control munitions.

President Emmanuel Macron addressed the nation on Sunday evening, expressing “anger and shame,” distinguishing legitimate protesters from “ultra-left fringe groups” and criminals responsible for the “unbridled violence,” and vowing accountability. He stopped short of a state of emergency but authorized prefects and mayors to ban certain gatherings if needed to protect public buildings and businesses. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez admitted police “lost control” in some areas, offered his resignation (which Macron declined), and the government is organizing meetings for concrete responses. As of Monday, October 19, partial curfew powers have been given to some cities, Marseille has banned public gatherings midday to 8 pm, the Louvre saw entrance blockades linked to student actions, and investigations into the violence are underway.

The situation remains tense ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with the government emphasizing order while acknowledging underlying social grievances.

Legal analyst Gregg Jarrett discusses a new memo exploring former special counsel Jack Smith’s alleged spying on MAGA supporters.

Arctic Frost was the internal code name for a joint federal investigation (involving the FBI, DOJ Office of Inspector General, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and National Archives OIG) opened in April 2022 into alleged efforts by Donald Trump and associates to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Official purpose and originIt focused primarily on the “fake electors” (or alternate electors) scheme, in which Trump allies in several battleground states submitted alternate slates of electors claiming Trump had won those states. The FBI’s opening document described it as probing a “multifaceted conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election so that former president Trump could remain in office.” 

• It was opened by FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault and formally approved by Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray. 
• In November 2022, Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith, who took over Arctic Frost (along with related probes). This formed the basis for Smith’s August 2023 indictment of Trump on election-related charges (which did not proceed after Trump’s 2024 election win).

The investigation was initially known publicly mainly as a probe into the false/alternate electors plot; the “Arctic Frost” codename and broader scope became widely discussed later through congressional oversight.Scope and controversiesRepublican oversight (especially by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley) has documented that the probe expanded well beyond the core electors issue. Documented actions include:

• Subpoenas and data collection targeting hundreds of Republican individuals, organizations, campaign staff, and fundraising efforts (Grassley has cited over 400 named Republican targets in some releases).
• Obtaining phone toll records (metadata) of multiple Republican members of Congress, including senators.
• Collection of extensive personal and donor data on at least 639,000 Republican donors, voters, and supporters (including names, addresses, emails, party registration, occupations, donation details, partial credit-card numbers, and information on buyers of red MAGA hats and Trump merchandise). Some of this data went back to 2005. 

Grassley and other Republicans have described Arctic Frost as a partisan fishing expedition or “worse than Watergate,” arguing it was used to map the broader Republican political apparatus and target political opponents under the pretext of investigating the 2020 election. Critics have also pointed to issues with the origins (including Thibault’s later Hatch Act violation for anti-Trump activity) and claims that certain protocols (such as filter teams for privileged material) were bypassed.Defenders of the probe, including Smith and Democrats, have characterized it as a legitimate criminal investigation into serious allegations of election interference and obstruction of Congress’s certification of the 2020 results. The core factual basis for opening it (the alternate electors effort) is not disputed; the controversy centers on its scope, methods, and political impact.In short, Arctic Frost was the Biden-era FBI/DOJ investigation into 2020 election challenges that Jack Smith inherited and expanded, producing both the Trump election case and extensive later congressional disclosures about data collection on Republicans.
