Leontovych, a teacher and choral conductor born in 1877 in Monastyrok, refined the pagan New Year chant 'Shchedryk'—about swallows and bountiful harvests—into its familiar form, premiering it in 1916 during Ukraine's independence push. Peter Wilhousky added English bell lyrics in 1936, transforming it into a global Christmas staple sung in countless languages. Tragically assassinated by Soviet agents in 1921 for his cultural work, Leontovych's enduring tune now echoes resilience, from soldiers' performances in ruins to symphony inspirations.

Will zeroed in on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, comparing Hegseth's strikes on Venezuelan drug boats to a 'war criminal without a war' and questioning scaled-back Ukraine support. The White House defended the Caribbean operations as lawful against narco-traffickers, while Hegseth pushed European responsibility for Ukraine and Rubio paused broad foreign aid earlier this year. Both officials secured Senate confirmation early in Trump's second term, amid rising U.S.-Venezuela tensions including Trump's ultimatum to Maduro. The critique highlights ongoing conservative splits over America First priorities like fentanyl threats versus overseas commitments.
