Trump to NATO: “Yes, Shoot Down Russian Jets”
A three-word answer that sent shockwaves through NATO.
Good Morning, it’s Wednesday, September 24th, 2005.
Trump didn’t flinch. Standing beside Zelenskyy at the U.N., he was asked if NATO should shoot down Russian jets that violate allied airspace.
“Yes, I do.”
That’s it. No diplomatic fog. No Pentagon-approved ambiguity. Just a clear warning to Putin — and a wake-up call to Europe.
At home, Karoline Leavitt is giving the press a free clinic on what actual accountability looks like, after torching a reporter who tried to claim Trump was weaponizing the DOJ. And if you think the biggest threat is still “right-wing extremism,” tell that to the 90% of Republicans who now say the real danger is coming from the radical left — especially after what happened to Charlie Kirk.
And speaking of Kirk — the footage breaking online might just blow the FBI’s story wide open. Entry wound. Exit angle. Shooter in the bushes.
What they’re calling “conspiracy,” others are calling evidence.

Trump to NATO: Shoot Down Russian Jets
“Yes, I do,” he says when asked if NATO should pull the trigger.
What You Need to Know:
Trump, during a face-to-face with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy at the U.N., said plainly that NATO allies should shoot down Russian jets if they violate airspace. No ambiguity. No diplomatic mumbo jumbo. Just “Yes, I do.”
Why It Matters:
• This is a direct dare to Moscow — with real-world shoot-to-kill implications.
• Trump daring NATO to stop being a paper tiger and act like a real alliance.
• The legacy press is already losing its mind — which usually means he hit a nerve.
President Trump doesn’t bluff — especially not with jets and geopolitics.
At the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. When pressed by a reporter on whether NATO should shoot down Russian aircraft violating allied airspace, Trump gave the green light without hesitation: “Yes, I do.”
It’s the clearest call to enforce NATO sovereignty since Reagan stared down Soviet missiles.
Just hours earlier, Trump had already lit up the U.N. for failing to back his administration’s peace efforts and for, quote, “creating new problems.” Among those problems? Globalist migration chaos, which Trump tied directly to U.N. funding.
Trump: “The U.N. is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States… The UN is supposed to stop invasions — not create them and finance them.”
That wasn’t just rhetoric. He accused the U.N. of handing out food, shelter, and debit cards to illegal immigrants — and said the U.S. has turned the tide by deporting and detaining everyone crossing illegally. Europe, he warned, hasn’t.
His message to Europe was blunt:
“Your countries are going to hell.”
Behind closed doors, NATO ministers are likely scrambling. If Trump regains the Oval in 2028, they know he’ll hold them to this — with real consequences.
What They Don’t Want You to See:
“Yes, I do.” — Trump, when asked if NATO should shoot down Russian jets
“The U.N. is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.” — Trump, U.N. speech
Bottom Line:
Trump’s throwing down the gauntlet — to Putin, to NATO, and to every soft-spoken diplomat pretending airspace breaches are just “incidents.”
The message is clear: Violate the skies, pay the price. America’s back in the cockpit — and the warning lights are off.
Karoline Leavitt Wrecks DOJ ‘Gotcha’ Question
Reporter tries to corner her — she flips the table instead.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made it clear Monday: Trump isn’t weaponizing the DOJ — he’s disinfecting it.
During a briefing, a reporter tried to corner Leavitt with a “gotcha” question: If Trump once said “never again” to DOJ abuse, how does pushing prosecutions now square with that? Leavitt didn’t flinch:
“It is not weaponizing justice to demand accountability for those who weaponized the Department of Justice.”
She reminded the room that Trump’s mandate was earned — after being raided, prosecuted, and nearly banned from the ballot. The DOJ wasn’t just broken under Biden — it was turned into a political gun aimed at Trump and his voters.
She wasn’t done. Leavitt flatly told the press they wouldn’t tolerate gaslighting from the media or Democrats. And just in case they forgot: Charlie Kirk was assassinated — and 58 Democrats couldn’t even vote to honor him. AOC? Voted “no” and launched a screed instead.
Bottom Line:
This isn’t “retribution.” It’s a cleanup. Trump’s DOJ isn’t going rogue — it’s going back to basics.
90% of Republicans Fear the Radical Left
New poll exposes growing terror over left-wing extremism.
A new Economist/YouGov survey just confirmed what most conservatives already feel in their gut: the real threat isn’t MAGA rallies — it’s radical leftists with a vendetta and a mask.
Key numbers:
90% of Republicans are concerned about left-wing extremism
56% of Independents agree
Even 38% of Democrats are starting to get nervous
That concern isn’t abstract. Just two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a speech in Utah. His death sent shockwaves through the country — especially among students, where Turning Point USA chapter signups are now exploding.
And while 69% of Americans still say they’re “concerned” about right-wing extremism, the reality doesn’t match the narrative. The most recent political violence? All from the radical left.
Erika Kirk’s response was chilling — and defiant:
“You have no idea what you have just unleashed.”
Bottom Line:
Americans aren’t buying the media’s “both sides” spin. The left is radicalizing — and 9 in 10 Republicans know exactly where this is heading.

New Footage Sparks Questions in Charlie Kirk Assassination
Fresh visual evidence has emerged that may upend the official story surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Newly analyzed footage — slowed down and forensically annotated — suggests Kirk was not shot from the front, as federal investigators initially reported. Instead, the bullet appears to have entered from the rear right side of his head and exited through his throat, according to firearms experts who reviewed the frame-by-frame impact.
Blood splatter is first seen emerging from the back of Kirk’s head, with a second burst visible as his body snaps forward — consistent with a textbook spinal shot, not a frontal impact. One military-trained analyst called it a “clean example of rear-entry wound dynamics.”
In a separate analysis, still photos from the scene reveal what appears to be a blurred figure partially obscured in the bushes, positioned in a line that matches the revised trajectory. A dark object resembling a rifle can be seen near the figure’s shoulder. While the image is inconclusive, experts involved say it cannot be dismissed — and may lend new weight to what’s being called the “bush shooter” theory.
The findings directly contradict early statements from law enforcement, prompting renewed calls for transparency and an independent forensic review. Critics are now questioning whether the FBI’s narrative was simply premature — or deliberately misleading.
“This isn’t speculation anymore — it’s physics,” one investigator said. “And the angle doesn’t lie.”
If these angles are accurate, the official story doesn’t just fall apart — it looks manipulated. America deserves the truth about what happened to Charlie Kirk. And that truth may be hiding in plain sight.
Together with The Ledger
At the U.N., Trump didn’t whisper. He handed NATO a red card: shoot down violating Russian jets. “Yes, I do.” Three words that remove excuses from the diplomatic playbook.
He then accused the U.N. of financing migration chaos — the same machine that quietly erodes borders while diplomats doodle in conference rooms.
This isn’t a soundbite. It’s a challenge to Europe, Moscow, and every NATO command center that ever hoped deterrence was a press release.
Ledger subscribers get the operational scenarios, chain-of-command consequences, and the geopolitical winners/losers — before the pundits find their talking points. Get the receipts.
The left will scream “warmonger.” The swamp will whisper “reckless.”
But for the first time in years, U.S. leadership doesn’t sound like a UN subcommittee — it sounds like a superpower.
The world noticed. Let’s hope NATO did too.
