Germany Cuts Aid to Ukraine in Half in 2025 Budget
Germany is to halve its military aid to Ukraine next year, according to a 2025 draft budget seen by Reuters. According to the report, Germany had allocated €8 billion for Ukraine in 2024, but this will be reduced to €4 billion next year.
The federal republic is confident that Ukraine will be able to cover most of its military needs with a $50 billion loan from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets and that the funds for armaments will not be fully used.
Washington is pushing for the loans to be granted “front-loaded” and for Ukraine to receive a large lump sum now.
According to officials, EU leaders agreed to the idea partly to avoid Ukraine running into financial disaster when U.S. President Donald Trump returns to the White House. A potential Trump administration is seen as likely cutting funds to Ukraine, with Trump promising to end the war early in his term.
Reuters also reports that concerns have been raised across Europe this week after the Republican presidential candidate nominated Senator J.D. Vance as his vice president. The Ohio senator has explicitly criticized military aid to Ukraine and warned that Europe should rely less on the United States to defend the continent.
Justice Department Attorney: Biden Admin Delaying Ban on Menthol Cigarettes for Political Reasons
The Biden administration is deliberately delaying its plan to prohibit menthol cigarettes for fears of a political backlash from Black voters, according to an attorney with the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Menthol cigarettes have been in the crosshairs of anti-smoking groups for decades. They argue that menthol cigarettes contribute to disproportionate health burdens on Black communities and play a role in luring young people into smoking.
But a shocking undercover video released by Project Veritas – this time without its founder James O’Keefe – revealed that the Biden White House is deliberately stalling the enforcement of a menthol cigarette ban. In the clip, DOJ attorney Isaac Belfer revealed that the decision to delay the ban is driven by political concerns.
“There are some concerns that you might not want to do something, like criminalize a product that’s used by tons of Black people – especially before an election,” Belfer told the undercover reporter. The DOJ attorney acknowledged that “many thousands of Black people die every year because of menthol cigarettes,” yet the ban is being slow-walked by the White House.
“[President Joe] Biden doesn’t want to pass this regulation because he’s worried he will lose Black voters. Biden used Black people. So we’re being sued, saying, ‘You should pass this regulation now with no excuse to hold it up because your people are dying.’”
He also noted the strong public health reasons for prohibiting menthol cigarettes, emphasizing that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) supports the regulation. However, the broader White House, which reviews all regulations, is stalling the process.
Continued delay in the ban causing harm to Black voters
“The undercover video sheds light on the administration’s strategy, revealing that while the effort to ban menthol cigarettes has been ongoing for over a decade, its implementation is being deliberately delayed,” YourNews pointed out.
“The video has sparked outrage and raised questions about the administration’s commitment to public health and the integrity of its regulatory decisions. Critics argue that prioritizing political gains over the health and well-being of citizens is unacceptable, particularly when the stakes involve lives lost to preventable causes.”
Menthol cigarettes account for a third of the industry’s overall market share in the United States. But these highly addictive products have been criticized for their appeal to young smokers, as well as significant health impacts for Black communities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 81 percent of Black adults who smoke cigarettes are using menthol varieties, compared with 34 percent of White adults.
Health Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement that the proposed ban had brought immense feedback, including from parts of the civil rights and criminal justice movement. “It’s clear that there are still more conversations to have, and that will take significantly more time,” he said. Based on his statement, Becerra appeared to suggest it would not be sorted before the presidential election in November.
Derrick Johnson, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said his organization was outraged and disgusted by the political move. “In an election year, politicians should be prioritizing people, not profiteers. Today’s news from the Biden administration is a blow to the Black people, who continue to be unfairly targeted and unjustly killed by Big Tobacco,” he said.
Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, also expressed dismay over the delay. “Two full years after releasing proposed rules backed by extensive scientific evidence – and more than a decade since the FDA began examining menthol cigarettes – the administration has failed to take decisive action to remove these deadly, addictive products from the market.”
German Government Bans Conservative Magazine, Confiscates All Belongings, Raids Editor’s Home
(LifeSiteNews) — The far-left German government has shut down a conservative, anti-globalist magazine, raiding its offices with a large police force and seizing all of its assets.
On the morning of July 16, more than 300 policemen searched 14 buildings connected to Compact magazine, its management, and employees and confiscated the organization’s belongings.
According to WELT, the government seized electronic devices, data carriers, gold, vehicles, cash, and bank accounts. Compact’s website and social media channels, as well as its video production company, Conspect Film GmbH, were also shut down.
The home of Compact founder Jürgen Elsässer was raided by a police force accompanied by journalists from mainstream media outlets who took pictures of Elsässer in his bathrobe, a process described by some commentators as a “humiliation ritual.”

Interior Minister Faeser gave the order
The magazine’s crime? “Stirring hate” pic.twitter.com/ODABm3k29M
The Interior Ministry said in a statement, “In its wide-reaching publications and products, ‘COMPACT-Magazin GmbH’ disseminates anti-Semitic, racist, anti-minority, historical revisionist and conspiracy theory content.”
“Today I have banned the right-wing extremist COMPACT magazine,” German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced.
“It is a central mouthpiece of the right-wing extremist scene,” she added. “The ban shows that we are also taking action against the intellectual arsonists who foment a climate of hatred and violence against refugees and migrants and want to overcome our democratic state,” Faeser said.
Faeser, “who claims to defend democracy,” previously wrote an article for the radically leftist publication Federation of Anti-Fascists, which was classified as left-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, shortly before becoming Interior Minister in December 2021, as conservative news outlet Tichys Einblicke pointed out.
Outspoken tech billionaire Elon Musk chimed in on the case, stating on his social media platform X that “Crushing freedom of speech under a jackboot is what that government is doing.”

Tichys Einblicke described the ban of Compact as “historically unprecedented.”
Constitutional lawyer and former Federal Minister of Defense Rupert Scholz told the outlet that the ban of Compact is unconstitutional.
“Freedom of expression enjoys such a high constitutional status that it cannot simply be undermined by an executive decision,” he said.
“At most, a medium can be banned if it represents a revolutionary position, i.e., calls for overthrowing the existing order by force. But that would then have to lead to criminal proceedings.”
However, no criminal proceedings have been publicized, and neither Compact nor Elsässer have been criminally convicted in court.
According to Scholz, the “ethnic concept of people” used by Compact – i.e., the distinction between ancestral and naturalized German citizens – is also “not unconstitutional.” For the constitutional lawyer, it is instead the case that “Faeser’s approach is clearly unconstitutional.”

In a joint statement, the co-leaders of the anti-globalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party condemned the actions taken against Compact magazine:
The ban on Compact magazine is a serious blow to press freedom. We are observing these events with great concern. Banning a press organ means a denial of discourse and diversity of opinion. A ban is always the most far-reaching step. Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser is thus abusing her powers to suppress critical reporting. We call on the Minister to respect the freedom of the press.
In recent months, parts of the left-wing German government, mainstream media outlets, and public figures have been seriously pushing to ban the AfD. The reasoning behind the potential ban is similar to that used to justify the prohibition of Compactmagazine.
Biden to Propose Term Limits, New Code of Ethics for the Supreme Court: Report
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – Embattled Democrat President Joe Biden is planning to propose a set of dramatic changes to the U.S. Supreme Court meant to appease left-wing rage over its recent ruling in favor of presidential immunity and other outcomes favored by their political foes, according to a new report in TheWashington Post.
The Post reported Tuesday that over the weekend Biden shared with members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus the details of his plan, which include term limits for Supreme Court justices and a new and “enforceable” code of ethics.
“I’m going to need your help on the Supreme Court, because I’m about to come out — I don’t want to prematurely announce it — but I’m about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court,” he reportedly told the left-wing lawmakers. “I’ve been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need some help.”
The plan also includes proposing a constitutional amendment that would “eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders,” according to the Post.
The proposals, most of which would require the difficult process of amending the U.S. Constitution, are not likely to become reality even if Biden wins reelection in November, as it would require either a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers of Congress or a convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures, then ratification by popular vote in 38 states.
But they continue Democrats’ catering to liberal activists’ hatred of the Court over a string of high-profile rulings that have gone against their interests, including overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022 and this summer affirming some presidential immunity for Donald Trump and overturning the Chevron doctrine that gave significant regulatory discretion to unelected bureaucrats; as well as ongoing attacks on conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
In any event, Democrats continue to question whether they will get an opportunity to try to put such plans into action next year in light of ongoing discontent over Biden’s age, mental ability, and political viability.
Polling aggregations by RealClearPolitics and RaceToTheWH indicate a slim popular-vote lead for Trump in the November election, and, more important, leads in swing states translating to an Electoral College advantage over Biden.
