Putin insists on territorial concessions, demands all of Donetsk Oblast
"Russian President Vladimir Putin remains committed to seizing all of Donetsk Oblast by
force, the sources said. Moscow also plans to retain occupied border areas of Ukraine's Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts as a buffer zone. Bloomberg's sources said the Kremlin's position hardened amid intensifying Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russian territory, including on Moscow, which have damaged oil refineries and caused fuel shortages. An additional factor was Trump's approval of a new sanctions bill targeting Russia, which would impose tariffs of up to 100% on the five largest buyers of Russian oil and gas." msn

Daniel Ortega solidifies power and asserts that there will be "no more elections" in Nicaragua
"Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has caused international shock by formally announcing
that competitive electoral processes will no longer be held in the country.
During the commemoration of the Sandinista victory at the Plaza de la Fe in the capital, Ortega was emphatic in declaring to a crowd of supporters and military personnel: "I want you to forget, here there will be no more elections for them [opponents] to try to seize the Government and power". These words, spoken by an 81-year-old president with a weakened voice, have been interpreted by analysts as the political testament of a regime seeking to perpetuate itself without democratic facades." msn

Leftists call for 'direct action' training with hammers after conservative leader bludgeoned to death
"The death of 78-year-old Ann Widdecombe should cause both ends of the political spectrum to recoil in horror and sadness. Instead, leftists are taking the alleged killer's means of committing the act as a page to add to their playbook.
Widdecombe was discovered in her home in Devon, England, on July 9 by a gardener after an assistant became concerned when she did not make a media appearance.
The alleged killer's method was beating Widdecombe 21 times with a hammer. According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, investigators found communist literature in Kerry's home along with newspaper clippings about Reform U.K.'s leader Nigel Farage. This was the party Widdecombe had been serving as an immigration spokeswoman.
When noting that Widdecombe was an outspoken defender of conservatism -- denouncing abortion and LGBT propaganda -- the picture becomes clear as to the motivations behind the attack.
The Post Millennial's Andy Ngo found a flyer from Palestine Action that he posted to social media platform X after the killing, in which the group was seemingly encouraging the use of hammers to harm conservatives." msn

Italy shuts down effort linked to Gaza flotilla group to track Jewish, Israeli tourists
"Italian authorities shut down an anonymous online effort that asked the public to report the locations of Israeli tourists, Italian Jews and businesses believed to have ties to Zionism,
