Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that US president Donald Trump’s call for Ukraine and Russia to stop at the current frontlines was “a good compromise”, reports Reuters.

But Zelenskyy, who is visiting Nordic countries, said he doubted that Russian president Vladimir Putin would support it. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), Zelenskyy told reporters:

[Trump] proposed ‘Stay where we stay and begin conversation’. I think that was a good compromise, but I’m not sure that Putin will support it, and I said it to the [US] president.

British police will get stronger powers to restrict repeated protests, the government said Sunday, after almost 500 people were arrested at a demonstration in support of a banned pro-Palestinian group.

The Home Office said police forces will be able to consider the “cumulative impact of frequent protests” on local areas when they impose conditions on marches and demonstrations.

“The right to protest is a fundamental freedom in our country,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said. “However, this freedom must be balanced with the freedom of their neighbors to live their lives without fear. Large, repeated protests can leave sections of our country, particularly religious communities, feeling unsafe, intimidated and scared to leave their homes.”

The federal government has now entered its longest full shutdown in American history, with no sign that Congress is moving toward a resolution.

The shutdown, now in its 22nd day, began when lawmakers failed to pass any of the 12 annual appropriations bills by the end of the fiscal year on September 30.

While both chambers have passed three separate funding measures each, they have not reconciled a single version, leaving most federal agencies without an approved budget.

One of the more tiresome mantras of leftist media coverage is Trump allegedly paging through his “authoritarian playbook.” The media have their own protest playbook, as you could tell when leftists organized another mass protest titled “No Kings,” as if we’ve ever had a king.

The network newscasts slobbered all over this Saturday event, using very similar language. “Millions” took to the streets! A “massive” nationwide turnout to oppose “what they call creeping authoritarianism.” They sound like they’re reading a press release. “More than 2,700 rallies in all 50 states,” as “organizers estimate seven million people” turned out.

Public Schools Can’t Prohibit Prayer And Promote Witchcraft– thefederalist.com

When a public high school in Orange County, Florida, aired a weekly “Witchy Wednesday” religious video series on the schoolwide TV system, led by students and featuring detailed instructions on casting spells and performing rituals, including soul cleansing and moon worship, many parents were stunned.

The school canceled the series after public outcry and intervention from Liberty Counsel, in which the legal group asked for equal time for Christian instruction. But the larger question remains: Why would a public school introduce spiritual practices rooted in witchcraft to impressionable young students, and what does this reveal about the direction of public education?

When it comes to politics and economics, a surprisingly large number of voters either cannot recognize charlatans or suffer from amnesia. That is, all too often, many of these people fail to understand and remember the basis for success and failure in public policy, and they get drawn to the siren call of alluring, but “risky” new candidates at election time.

How is it possible that New York City, America’s leading city of capitalism, finance, and business, could elect a mayoral candidate, Zhoran Mamdani, who, while known to identify as a democratic socialist, has an easily verifiable hard-core Marxist background. Mamdani’s academic life was immersed in Marxism, embracing the analytical framework of class struggle, oppression, labor and power structures, and historical materialism. His studies and work also included Leninist perspectives on colonialism and post-colonialism. In addition to Marx and Lenin, Mamdani embraced leftist figures such as Frantz Fanon and Antonio Gramsci, whose ideas on cultural hegemony, colonialism and underdevelopment are aligned with Marxist critiques.

Grooming gang victims tell Jess Phillips to step down over chaotic inquiry – The Telegraph

Grooming gang survivors have attacked Jess Phillips as Labour’s national inquiry into the scandal plunged into further turmoil.

Abuse victims hit back at the Home Office minister after she rejected their claims that the inquiry could be watered down and expanded to cover other forms of child sexual abuse.

Fiona Goddard, one of four survivors who quit the inquiry’s victims’ panel over their concerns, produced a consultation document in which they were asked whether the inquiry could “take a broader approach”.

“I didn’t make this up. The documents are right there. Being dismissed and contradicted by a minister when you’re telling the truth takes you right back to that feeling of not being believed all over again,” said Ms Goddard.

“I think she needs to step down because she’s publicly accused a grooming gang survivor who, throughout my whole life has been accused, of lying over and over again – that is part of the whole scandal.”

New York City’s mayoral candidates are set to meet for their final debate Wednesday night, with Democrat Zohran Mamdani looking to stay in control of a race increasingly seen as his to win while former Gov. Andrew Cuomo amps up the pressure on Republican Curtis Sliwa to drop out.

With just days left until early voting begins, Cuomo has made a series of urgent pleas to the city’s conservative voters to ditch Sliwa and instead to support him, casting the Republican candidate as a “spoiler” whose presence in the race will deliver Mamdani a win.

The debate may be the former governor’s last and best chance at making his case to run the country’s biggest city ahead of next month’s election.

Donald Trump could “topple” a weakened Russia and Vladimir Putin but has “chosen not to” for a disturbing reason, a former staffer has sensationally claimed. Anthony Scaramucci raised millions of dollars for the US president’s first election campaign in 2016 before becoming his White House director of communications.

He was fired after just 11 days when he slammed colleagues in a conversation he wrongly thought was off the record – and has since turned his fire on Mr Trump to become one of his biggest critics. While he says there is “good Trump and bad Trump” and that he admires some aspects of the Republican’s character, Mr Scaramucci believes his ex-boss’s relationship with Putin is a cause for concern.
