Lead: Ukraine Peace Plan

Russia is declaring near victory for its Special Military Operation.

Russian presidential aide and Marine Board Chairman Nikolay Patrushev told TASS that this victory will go down in history as another successful fight “to exterminate the inhumane ideology of Nazism. The contours of our victory are already clearly visible.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire between May 8 and May 11, which is when both Russia and Ukraine celebrate Victory Day, the victory over the World War II Nazis.

Negotiations for a permanent ceasefire continue but in the meantime, Ukraine has almost no one left to fight. The country is reportedly having “serious discussions… about mobilizing women en masse.” Pray it never comes to that.

The U.K. has reportedly volunteered to “rebuild” the Ukrainian armed forces under a potential five-year deployment. You cannot rebuild what has been lost to death. What they mean is that the U.K. would deploy its own military to stand in for the dead Ukrainian military to enforce whatever peace deal is agreed upon.

Europe’s Green Energy Grid Goes Bust

Less than two weeks ago, Spain bragged about hitting 100% renewable power on the national grid. And then the entire Iberian Peninsula lost electricity on Monday. Are the two things related?

The network responsible, REN, is saying the outage was due to a “rare atmospheric phenomenon” but they haven’tt name it. Was it solar flares? Was it temperature fluctuations? Who knows because they’re just telling us that it was something unnamed and rare.

They did say that the problem happened on the Spanish side of the border coming from high temperature variations and “anomalous oscillations” in high voltage lines. Well, that was reported in the renewable energy story. It says that solar reached new records just last week. Could these variations be responsible for the grid’s response?

Solar fluctuations could in theory set the stage for a crash, especially if solar production spiked or dropped very quickly. It could create a highly unstable environment where even modest disruptions (technical, cyber, weather) could cause an outage.

Journalist Michael Shellenberger reports that in 2024, cybersecurity researchers warned that vulnerabilities in widely used solar inverter models could allow mass remote shutdowns but those warnings were not heeded.

Power was restored late Monday but is still not completely restored throughout the region. Grocery stores are empty, schools were canceled, cash machines were out, people were stranded in elevators and on trains in the middle of nowhere. It was utter pandemonium but don’t expect a real answer from European leaders as to why this happened.

Biden Administration Did Not Seek Ceasefires

The Biden administration did not try to seek a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, according to a new report. The report comes from Israeli Channel 13, translated by Drop Site News.

The report quotes former Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog as saying, “God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period… We fought for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ That’s not to be taken for granted.”

According to Drop Site, “Nine top Biden officials acknowledged avoiding real pressure on Israel—even as the death toll surpassed 30,000. Israeli leaders openly bragged they dragged out the war, playing for time until Donald Trump’s return. Former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Ambassador Tom Nides, and others defended their unwavering support for Israel—even as they admitted enabling a campaign one U.S. aide described as ‘killing and destroying for the sake of killing and destroying.’

The report shows that Netanyahu tanked negotiations and that the Biden administration dared not push him. Those negotiations would have resulted in returned hostages. American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin was scheduled for release the day he was executed, according to the report. One source said: “There’s no doubt… those hostages would be alive” had Netanyahu really sought a resolution.

But, but, Kamala Harris told us she was trying to negotiate peace on the campaign trail. The Biden administration paid lip service to a ceasefire. It was easy to see by their actions at the time that they didn’t mean it.

Hidden Risks of the Abortion Pill

A new study shows that complications from the abortion pill are 22 times higher than the 0.5 % claimed by the FDA. The FDA says that complications from Mifeprex are less than 0.5% but this study refutes that.

Authors from the Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) analyzed 865,727 prescriptions of mifepristone distributed to 692,873 women between 2017 and 2023. They found that 10.9 percent of those women experienced potentially life-threatening “serious adverse events” within 45 days, including emergency room visits, hemorrhage, sepsis, infection, and follow-up surgeries.

The media regularly hides the truth about abortion from women. To their mind, it is as easy as taking a Tylenol for a headache. They hide data showing that abortion is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. They probably won’t report on this study either.

EPPC President Ryan Anderson had this to say about it: “This study is the statistical equivalent of a category 5 hurricane hitting the prevailing narrative of the abortion industry. It reveals, based on real-world data, the shocking number of women who suffer serious medical consequences because of the abortion pill. The Trump FDA should take immediate action to protect the safety of American women by reinstating the safety regulations that the Obama and Biden Administrations removed.”
