On Tuesday’s episode of Human Events Daily, Jack Posobiec hosted Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer to talk about the recent report that Ukraine struck Russian territory with US-provided long-range missiles after the Biden-Harris administration gave Kyiv the green light to do so.
Shaffer made a point to say that the decision did not come from sitting President Joe Biden, but from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan “attempting to box President Trump into having to deal with an expanded war.”
He continued: “That’s what’s going on. This is about expansion, not giving the Ukrainians leverage. This is about potentially moving us towards World War Three. That’s what the neocons want. That’s what they’ve always wanted.”
“Ultimately, they thought they were going to continue this into a Kamala Harris administration. Well, they can’t so this is their last shot,” Shaffer stated. He pointed out that the Kremlin revised its nuclear strike policy to lower the threshold for a nuclear response to an attack, adding that Russia could very well strike within its own territory to take out the invading Ukrainians or in Ukraine itself.
“So we’re about to find out how much poke and the bear in the eye is going to benefit anybody. But I see this as an attempt to get Trump boxed in, so he has to maintain the war no matter what, that’s what I think is really going on,” he said. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
