Trump and the America First movement are on the verge of achieving what the establishment said was impossible...ending the Russia-Ukraine war. While a war of choice rages in the Middle East, we are making real progress toward peace in the Black Sea. Patriots, this is what winning looks like. The Russia-Ukraine war should never have started. Now, with Trump and Vance leading America's foreign policy, we are closer than ever to a peaceful resolution that serves the people of both Ukraine and Russia and most importantly, the American people. The movement of restraint, responsibility, and education in foreign policy is delivering results. In this video, we break down: - Why a Ukraine peace deal is closer than the mainstream media will admit - What America First foreign policy actually looks like in practice - How MAGA is leading the world away from endless war - What peace in the Black Sea means for everyday Americans The globalists don't want you to hear this. Share this video and remind your fellow Patriots we are the movement that ends wars, not starts them. 📌 Follow for daily updates and more takes on the America First movement. #CortesInvestigates #AmericaFirst #TrumpForeignPolicy #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #MAGA #PeaceInUkraine #TrumpPeace #BlackSea

You're cheering for the Fighting Illini in the Final Four, but did you know that Illinois kids with perfect grades can't even get into their own state university? Why? Because 6,000 Chinese nationals from America's existential enemy are taking their spots. We taxpayers fund these universities, public AND private. Yet the most selective schools now openly prioritize foreign students over American citizens. The University of Illinois is one of the most glaring examples. 🎬 Watch the full documentary: China's College Takeover #CortesInvestigates #MarchMadness #China #CollegeAdmissions #CortezInvestigates #UniversityOfIllinois #FightingIllini #Shorts

Fighting Illini Elite Eight to Final Four — But Illinois Kids Can't Get In Because of China

6,000 Chinese nationals are enrolled at the University of Illinois while Illinois kids with perfect grades and top test scores can't get in. This is China's College Takeover, and it's happening right now. While Chicago celebrates the Fighting Illini's Final Four run, parents across Illinois are asking why their children with perfect GPAs, top test scores, and strong extracurriculars are being rejected from their own state university. The answer is stunning: over 6,000 Chinese nationals occupy seats at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a school funded for generations by Illinois taxpayers. This isn't just an admissions problem. American families are being frozen out of their own institutions by foreign nationals including students connected to the Chinese Communist Party, America's existential adversary. 🎬 Watch the full documentary: China's College Takeover #CortesInvestigates #china #universityofillinois #collegeadmissions #finalfour #marchmadness

Steve Cortes Investigates: The MAHA Movement & America's Chronic Disease Epidemic In this explosive documentary, Cortes Investigates exposes why America is the richest nation on earth but also the sickest. Steve Cortes travels to Virginia to uncover the root causes of the chronic disease epidemic—from the dominance of Big Pharma and Big Food to the rise of ultra-processed foods that are destroying our metabolic health. This isn't just about policy; it's a battle for survival. We meet the leaders of the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement—including Dr. Robert Malone, regenerative farmer Joel Salatin, and allies of RFK Jr.—who are fighting to restore medical freedom and end the corruption in our public health agencies.
