While Russia waits for a formal ceasefire proposal this week, it gained several new territories in the Kursk and Donetsk region. These regions will likely remain Russian after the hypothetical peace deal since the U.S. has conceded that Ukraine will have to cede territory in the ceasefire deal.
Russia hasn’t been formally presented with the ceasefire that Ukraine agreed to this week. They are waiting by the phone though and the Kremlin says that a phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump are a possibility. The White House says that special envoy Steve Witkoff will be traveling to Moscow later this week to deliver the proposal.
Meanwhile, the U.S. CIA and Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) have reportedly agreed to be cordial from now on too. It was reported that the two heads “agreed on regular contact to reduce confrontation between Moscow and Washington…following a phone talk between the heads of both intelligence agencies.”
Even though Ukraine agreed to the ceasefire, President Zelensky says that the peace deal cannot include losing the territories that Russia now controls, even though the residents in those regions requested Russia’s military operation and voted to join Russia.
“We are fighting for our independence. Therefore, we will not recognize any occupied territories as Russia’s,” he said.
The Trump administration has repeatedly said that they’re going to have to do this. They’re going to have to do this.
President Trump said on Wednesday that “nobody is expelling any Palestinians from Gaza.” This is quite different from his plan for the U.S. to “take over the Gaza strip” and for the people there to not “go back.”
A Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem says that they welcome this shift in narrative.
“If US President Trump’s statements represent a retreat from any idea of displacing the people of the Gaza Strip, they are welcomed,” Qassem said in the statement. “We call for this position to be reinforced by obligating the Israeli occupation to implement all the terms of the ceasefire agreements.”
It’s hard to follow the Trump administration’s intentions when it comes to the Palestinian people. Recently, U.S hostage envoy Adam Boehler said that diplomacy with Hamas is going well. He said, “They don’t have horns growing out of their heads. They’re actually pretty nice guys; guys like us and the US is not an agent of Israel.”
The ceasefire did not move into its second stage as planned and Hamas is

Portugal is the latest European country to collapse due to failed liberal policies.
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro lost a confidence vote in Parliament on Wednesday, collapsing the Parliamentary order and requiring a new vote, which is expected in May.
The Prime Minister has been in office less than a year since the previous Prime Minister Antonio Costa resigned due to a scandal linked to green initiatives. Costa is now the President of the European Counsel, trying to convince the block to go to war with Russia.
Why is the Portuguese economy and government in such disarray? Many reasons. Portugal makes none of its own decisions. Brussels pulls all the strings to the detriment of the Iberian nation. Portugal’s economy tanked when Europe began funding the war for Ukraine. Portugal opened its borders for mass migration when the rest of Europe started doing that. Portugal closed its economy during Covid. It has been misstep after misstep to the detriment of the Portuguese people and much of this was predicted by the Chega party, which has been maligned with the label “far right.”

11,000. That is how many views Michelle Obama’s first podcast with her brother Craig Robinson got in its first day on YouTube. That is not a lot for Michelle Obama whose books fly off the shelves. How can her name and star power alone not have sent those views into the hundreds of thousands, do you think?

Past Tax

Democratic states are going to tax the past. As dumb as this sounds, it feels like a dangerous slippery slope.
In New York, the law demands that fossil fuel companies “pay $75 billion for carbon emissions dating back to the year 2000.” So…for business that they did legally, they’re being asked to pay penance for no provable reason. Vermont has a similar law and, according to Reason, “other Democrat-controlled states plan to follow suit.”
If they can do this to companies, can they do this to us? Travis Fisher, energy director at the Cato Institute, tells Reason that taxing the past is wrong: “I’ve been filling up my gas tank for 25 years. Will they go after me for every time I’ve filled up my tank?”
They will sure try!
