Lead: Warmongers Conference

Photo credit: Ursula Von Der Leyen

European leaders had an emergency meeting to discuss the peace plan in Ukraine. Not because they want peace. They object to it.

The peace plan that President Trump has begun to negotiate with President Putin has them in a panic. They say it is because the plan does not involve the involvement of the Ukrainian President Zelensky. But…do you see him in this photo? You won’t because he’s not involved in this meeting either.

European leaders are pretending that a peace deal would set Russia upon the rest of Europe. That is unserious propaganda. They are trying to plan out how to keep the war going against Russia without U.S. troops or money. There is no way that they could do that. I explained it to my children this way: That would be like my 8 year-old daughter taking my 14 year-old son’s room by force. It is not possible.

What kills me the most is who IS at this table. I put it this way when I first saw this photo: The front three people in this photo failed up and now have the power to lead Europe to war. Antonio Costa stepped down as Prime Minister in Portugal amid a corruption scandal linked to green initiatives but now he is the President of the European Counsel. Mark Rutte resigned as Prime Minister of the Netherlands before a No Confidence vote could remove him due to his failed liberal policies but now he runs NATO. Ursula Van Der Leyen lost direct constituency elections but was still installed to the Bundestag via the party list system. Now she is the President of the European Commission. None of them represent the people of Europe’s appetite for war. The people of Europe do not have an appetite for war but these death eaters are trying to convince the world otherwise. May they finally begin to fail down!

Gold Audit

Senator Rand Paul and Elon Musk are calling for an audit of the U.S. reserves of gold, particularly those in Fort Knox. This should be a no-brainer but most Americans don’t know that the U.S. has never had a straight answer as to how much exists in the country’s gold reserves, especially after Franklin D. Roosevelt stole every single Americans’ gold in 1933 and passed a law making gold ownership illegal.

Where did it all go?

Funny story about that. President Dwight D. Eisenhower campaigned on a promise to audit the country’s gold reserves. The audit was ordered hours after his inauguration and officially concluded 7 days later. The government’s own press release about it admitted that “treasury employees participating in the audit were assigned to activities other than those on which they are regularly employed.” What? Why not let people actually audit what they do best? Oh and also, they did not physically see every bit of gold. Reports vary from a 5% to 100% sampling of physical inventory.

Gerald Ford and group of congressional delegation and journalists say that they saw the gold in Fort Knox in 1974 but that was not an audit.

That’s the best answer we’ve ever been offered as Americans. We probably should want more, right?

Elon Musk sent his SpaceX engineers to meet with officials from the Federal Aviation Administration to ‘suggest improvements.’ This was planned before a Delta plane crashed in Canada

The flight was traveling from Minneapolis to Toronto and landed upside-down. Miraculously all 80 passengers and crew members were safely evacuated. At least 18 people were injured.

One woman posted a video of herself strapped to her seat upside down. This is why you keep your seatbelt fastened while seated! Yikes!

What can SpaceX engineers to do stop this recent spate of aviation accidents though? Do we believe that this space of accidents is an accident? What is going on here?

Peace Deal Proceeds

Photo taken in 2019 by AP

U.S. and Russian delegates will meet in Saudi Arabia today to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelensky says Ukraine will “not recognize” whatever comes of it.

“Ukraine will not accept,” he told reporters. “Ukraine knew nothing about this. And Ukraine regards any negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine as having no results.”

Ukraine recognizes U.S. dollars but not U.S. strings attached, eh? That won’t work. Ukraine will have no choice if the U.S. withdraws weapons and money. He has begun to try to convince European leaders to fill the U.S. shoes but see the lead story of this newsletter for how that will go.

Zelensky has been hysterical since President Trump announced his peace talks. He says that Russia will take over all of Europe. He says that Russia wants to use nuclear weapons on everyone. He says that a U.S.-free NATO should be developed. He’s a maniac. In the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, “Zelensky says many things – it depends on what he drinks or what he smokes.” –

Lavrov will be among Russia’s delegation along with Yuri Ushakov, a foreign policy adviser to President Vladimir Putin. The U.S. will send Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. Let’s hope Secretary Rubio won’t bring up his batshit theory about Russia blowing up the Nord Stream Pipeline in the presence of actual Russian leaders.

Lead: Israel To Attack Iran

Photo credit: The Washington Post

The Washington Post says that Israel is likely to bomb Iran in the coming months, with the implied blessing of the U.S.

A spokesman for the White House National Security Council, Brian Hughes, said that President Trump “prefers negotiating a resolution to American’s long-standing issues with the Iranian regime peacefully, [but] he will not wait indefinitely if Iran isn’t willing to deal, and soon.”

He also said that the President “has made it clear: He will not permit Iran to get a nuclear weapon.”

The President promised that he would work to avoid any escalation in the Middle East so this is…new. The reported plan of Israel to bomb Iran was reportedly known by intelligence agencies since January when President Biden was still in office. The plan involved the U.S. “providing support in the form of aerial refueling as well as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, said those familiar with the document.”

Can we not do that? The Ayatollah said many times that it was willing to speak with President Biden. Surely they can speak with President Trump too.

Last week President Trump said this about bombing Iran: “I would like a deal done with Iran on non-nuclear. I would prefer that to bombing the hell out of it. They don’t want to die. Nobody wants to die. If we made the deal, Israel wouldn’t bomb them.”

Ukraine Peace Deal

Photo credit: Associated Press

President Trump says that has spoken with Russian President Putin and that the phone call was “lengthy and highly productive.”

He says that they agreed to “have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation.”

Notice he is speaking of a peace deal and Zelensky is not being asked. He’s being told. Because Zelensky has no say here and never did.

On Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the United States does not plan to deploy troops to defend Ukraine as part of any peace deal and that a peace deal will NOT involve Russia giving back the territory of people who voted to become Russia. He also said that “the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement.”

To save face, Zelensky said on X that he is in talks with President Trump and that he believes that “America’s strength, together with Ukraine and all our partners, is enough to push Russia to peace.”

What a dolt! He passed laws preventing himself from going to peace talks with Russia. Russia has offered peace talks since the war began.

President Trump also said that he discussed with President Putin “visiting each other’s Nations.” That is inconceivable! To have a diplomatic relationship with Russia again that could include visits with heads of state! To think we were on the verge of nuclear war just four months ago!

United States versus New York State

Photo credit: Department of Justice

The federal government announced a lawsuit against the state of New York, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New York AG Letitia James and Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Mark Schroeder over the sanctuary status of New York. This was announced by Attorney General Pamela Bondi on Wednesday.

“This is a new DOJ,” Bondi said. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today. As you know, we sued Illinois and New York didn’t listen so now you’re next.

The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) issued a statement in response to the lawsuit, saying: “This filing is yet another Trump administration attempt to shamelessly weaponize the Department of Justice to intimidate political opponents and exert improper political pressure.” They added that it “represent a gross intrusion into New York’s constitutional right to legislate in areas traditionally within its concern.”

The NYCLU is presumably not named in the case but no doubt they will insert themselves.

Bondi warned that New York is only one state on her radar, saying: “If you don’t comply with federal law, we will hold you accountable. If you are a state not complying with federal law, you’re next, get ready.”

Gold Bars Off the Titanic

Photo credit: The Epoch Times

The Department of Government Efficiency claims to have made over $3.4 billion in spending cuts so far. The Epoch Times complied a list of some of the more interesting ones above.

Lee Zeldin, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, says that after he was confirmed, he directed his staff to find hidden money that had been funneled through the EPA by the Biden administration and they found it!

“An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago of a Biden political appointee talking about how they were ‘tossing gold bars off the Titanic,” Zeldin said, referring to this video where a Biden employee talked about funneling money into nonprofits, states, tribes. Tribes?

Zeldin continues: “The gold bars were tax dollars and tossing them off the Titanic meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it.”

My awesome team at the EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight. Even further, this pot of $20 billion was awarded to just 8 entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency.”

This push of tax dollars to NGOs is a disturbing trend but not new. The National Endowment for Democracy is one of the oldest and worst offenders, responsible for stirring up regime change and color revolutions around the world and now they are reportedly on the chopping block too. Some controlled opposition say that this is sad but you should shed no tears for the NED. They are a front for the CIA.

There are so many tunnels to dig like this of where our tax dollars are spent and we have a feeling this will keep us busy all year. President Trump said on Wednesday that he would hold a press conference on Thursday. “I’m going to read to you some of the names that hundreds of MILLIONS and even BILLIONS of dollars have been given to.”

Okay…we’re listening.

Lead: Ceasefire

Photo credit: GPO

Emboldened by President Trump’s calls for Israeli hostages to be released by Hamas by this weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed that in a video statement.

“If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon,” he says, “the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will return to intense fighting until Hamas is finally defeated.”

Three hostages were set to be free on Saturday but Hamas announced on Monday that they would suspend this exchange because Israel had breached the deal.

While the ceasefire is in place, the IDF has stepped up firing on the West Bank. According to Haaretz, Israel has expanded its “open fire orders” to include allowing them to fire on any unarmed Palestinian, even if they are just “messing with the ground.” The claim is that this order is necessary to prevent explosives from being planted, but sources told Haaretz it has made soldiers “trigger happy.” They are also now allowed to fire on cars that are leaving combat zones in order to force them to stop.

The King of Jordan, Abdullah II, met with President Trump in the White House on Tuesday. He said that it was a “constructive” meeting and that Jordan has a “steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This is the unified Arab position. Rebuilding Gaza without displacing the Palestinians and addressing the dire humanitarian situation should be the priority for all.”

FEMA

President Trump says that he would like to end the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, after news broke that FEMA had been spending money for housing on illegal migrants while denying claims for Americans in disaster zones.

“FEMA SHOULD BE TERMINATED,” he wrote in all caps. “IT HAS BEEN SLOW AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. INDIVIDUAL STATES SHOULD HANDLE STORMS, ETC., AS THEY COME. BIG SAVINGS, FAR MORE EFFICIENT!!!”

Well, a new report says he’s right. An audit published at the end of January shows that FEMA mismanaged nearly $10 billion between 2020 and 2023. Plus, when they did have claims for Americans to pay out, they did so willy nilly. The report says that “FEMA did not issue determination memorandums when denying or reducing reimbursement requests, as required.”

But when it came to wasting money not for the American people, they were good at that. In one instance, FEMA approved a grant of $1.1 billion that was “supported by one sheet of paper with no itemized costs and was not prepared by a licensed Professional Engineer or cost-estimating professional.”

This is monkey business, man! Yes, get rid of the middle man. Send relief funds directly to the states.

Investigative Committee

The House Oversight Committee announced a new Task Force on Declassification and Transparency. It will be led by Representative Anna Paulina Luna. She says that the committee will “expose federal secrets.”

She says that the committee will start with the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy and then handle other government secrets such as the Epstein client list. When asked who she would interview for the JFK investigation, she said that she’d interview physicians who attended him after he was shot. Well, they’re all dead so maybe she’s got a medium on staff.

These are not the same people who were tasked by President Trump’s executive order to declassify information about President Kennedy’s assassination. This is a self-appointed House of Representatives committee. We could learn something from it or it could be all politics like the January 6 committee so…don’t get too excited yet. We’re watching.

The Nanny State

A new law in New Hampshire could give the state the right to take your children from you. A new bill removes the word “safety” from the legal definition of child abuse. It replaces it with “physical, emotional or psychological welfare.”

So if the government assesses that your child is emo, they can step in. I’m sure you can see where this could go wrong in our culture stemmed from the cult of safetyism.

For instance, in Minnesota, Child Protective Services accused a father of emotional abuse and neglect because he was a Christian and refused to call his daughter a boy and placed her in foster care with two gay men. New Hampshire is expanding its ability to do things like this.

Your child is in puberty? Let us step in. Your child wants to experiment with sex and drugs? We’ll take it from here.

Why does the state need to intervene in anything more than physical safety? There are already robust laws on the books to protect children. In fact, New Hampshire “removes children from their families at a rate nearly double the national average.”

Richard Wexler, executive director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, said this to Reason Magazine: “I happen to be a tax-and-spend liberal but this bill provides not one iota of additional help. It simply turns the [Division for Children, Youth and Families] into the ‘well-being’ police.”

Lead: Chinese Spy Balloon?

credit: Reuters

Newsweek reports that the 2023 “Chinese Spy Balloon” was “packed with American technology that could have enabled it to spy on Americans.” How do they know that? They cite “two sources with direct knowledge of a technical analysis conducted by the U.S. military.”

Note the language here: The Chinese could have used this to spy on the U.S. because it had U.S. technology. Is there any proof that the Chinese had anything to do with it? There is not. The article is full of hypotheticals.

The “technology that could have military uses to main adversary China as well as to countries such as Russia and Iran…”

“The ballon might also have been carrying launchable gliders that could collect more detailed data, since it had empty storage bays…”

Okay. Iraq also could have had weapons of mass destruction but that turned out to be a lie. Nevertheless, before the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, Newsweek published government propaganda to support that lie and promote the war. They should no longer get the benefit of the doubt with unnamed “sources.”

Democrats and Corruption: LOL

credit: Senate Democrats

Senate Democrats are suddenly interested in government corruption. They launched this website. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer says that it is for “anyone who wants to expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety with the legal protections of being a whistleblower.”

The U.S. government already has a portal for whistleblowers. It can be found at Whisteblowers.gov. Why in the world would anyone want to report corruption straight to the Democrats? They lied about Joe Biden’s mental fitness and then couped him, they hid the Biden family corruption, they lied about the war in Ukraine and profited from it, they have funneled copious money into pet projects overseas, they lied about the economy to try to win the election, they punished FBI whistleblowers who spoke out about January 6 prosecutions, they turned the other cheek when victims of civil unrest were not the skin color they claim to promote. I could go on all day.

So why do you think the Democrats are suddenly interested in exposing corruption?

Eric Adams Case Dismissed

credit: bbc.com

The Department of Justice has ordered the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams dismissed without prejudice. This means that the case may be brought back later.

The new DOJ under President Trump is doing this to protect Mayor Adams, a Democrat, and his ability to campaign for re-election this November. The Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove writes that “the timing of the charges and more recent public actions by the former U.S. Attorney responsible for initiating the case have threatened the integrity of the proceedings” He continues that “it cannot be ignored that Mayor Adams criticized the prior Administration’s immigration policies before the charges were filed, and the former U.S. Attorney’s public actions created appearances of impropriety.”

The directive means that the case can be brought back up after the election. Here we have an acting AG that is concerned about a precedence of candidates being tried for cases as a smear campaign, even one of the opposing party of his boss. That’s really something.

The AG is careful to state that he is not assessed “the strength of the evidence or the legal theories on which the case is based.” We did that and the case seemed rather thin. The government evidence has his staff offering to pay full price for his travel while being offered discounts. Adams has explained plainly that he was prosecuted by the Biden Justice Department and it is hard to see it any other way.

JFK Files Delayed

The FBI says that there are more than 2,400 files that pertain to the JFK assassination that have not been reviewed and they therefore cannot release them to the public yet. President Trump signed an executive order to declassify information about President Kennedy’s assassination but now the FBI says that they can’t.

A Trump aide reportedly called this snag “total Deep State bullshit.” Agreed. The Daily Mail reports the aide also said this: ” When POTUS hears about this stonewalling, he’s gonna hit the roof.”

Jefferson Morley, a commenter on the Kennedy murder, had a different take. He told Axios: “This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously. The FBI is finally saying, ‘Let’s respond to the president’s order,’ instead of keeping the secrecy going.”

I don’t share his enthusiasm. It asks us all to believe that there are 2,400 files relating to the assassination of an American President that the FBI was previously unaware of? I cannot believe that.

Lead: Israel’s Ceasefire On Shaky Ground

Photo credit: Reuters

Israeli media reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “intends to sabotage the hostage release deal, and the delegation heading to Qatar will not advance Stage 2 of the agreement.”

Why would he do that? Because when hostages are released, he’ll have to face the music. Moderates in Israel don’t like him because he has prioritized war over the hostages. Right-wingers are mad that Hamas has still not been defeated and Gaza still stands. A source told Haaretz: “Netanyahu knows he doesn’t have a government if he proceeds with the deal.”

A few days ago, ousted Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed that the Israeli military fired on its own people, something that was dubbed a conspiracy in the wake of the October 7 attacks. This is known as the “Hannibal Directive.” It allows the use of “maximum force” to prevent the capture of soldiers, even at risk of killing their own. And in fact many Israelis were killed by the Israeli Defense Forces. This was reported early by Dan Cohen of Uncaptured Media.

Jobs Report Revised

Photo credit: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

The jobs report released on Friday showed that the Biden administration was lying about 589,000 jobs! That means that they reported these jobs but…they never existed.

How does that happen exactly? CNN says that this is “an annual process that squares up estimates.” Meaning, if we believed the Biden administration’s jobs numbers, that was based on their best guesses.

The report says that “government employment continued to trend up in January.” To the tune of 70%! No wonder everyone is so nervous about the Trump administration’s effort to shrink government employment. Most of the “economic growth” we were told about last year was either a lie or due to government expansion!

What’s more, the report shows that 99.2% of of those jobs went to foreign-born workers, which has predictably led to high unemployment numbers for Blacks, Hispanics and teenagers. Pretty much every serious economist warned that increased immigration would hurt the employment rates for these populations. They weren’t lying.

The media is lying when it blames the report on the Trump administration. The report is a measure through the last few weeks of the Biden administration and only revises the numbers reported by the Biden administration.

Spending Fallout Not Just Dems Fault

Democrats are not the only ones who promoted wasteful spending on overseas pet projects. The Grayzone found that Republicans were funding “transgender dance” in Bangladesh.

Republicans campaigned against gender ideology but this report shows that the Republican Party-aligned International Republican Institute’s (IRI) sponsored “‘the largest published survey of LGBTI people in Bangladesh’ and that a full 24% of the 1,868 Bangladeshis who participated in IRI programs in 2019 and 2020 were transgender.” Activities of the group included paying for 160 photographs, 30 paintings, 21 theatrical shows, five short films, three “transgender dance performances,” three documentaries, two rap songs and accompanying music videos, and one book, all while recruiting activist to “destabilize Bangladesh’s politics.”

Republican Representative Thomas Massie warned that the revelations about government spending are going to hit both parties. He said: “DOGE is on a collision course with the Uniparty. It hasn’t happened yet, but I’m here for it, literally.”

Republicans will get a chance to prove whether they are aligned with a small government or if that is just words that they use against the Democrats. The debt ceiling will be reached again on March 14 and another Congressional bill will need to be passed to fund the government.

President Trump said on Truth Social that he has ordered the Treasury to stop producing pennies.

“For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let’s rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it’s a penny at a time,” he said.

The cost of producing a penny increased by 13% in 2023, according to the Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Mint.

In 2010, 60 Minutes reported that it cost the U.S. $134 million to make 8 billion pennies per year and $124 million to make 1.3 billion nickels, “even though the coins are worth only about half that much.” With inflation, that cost has only worsened.

Does President Trump have the authority to ditch the penny though? The Wall Street Journal reports that he does but the Mint’s website says that this authority is with Congress.

This would not be the first time the U.S. took a coin out of circulation. In 1857, Congress discontinued the half-cent coin through The Coinage Act.

Lead: About That Gaza Plan…

Photo credit: Reuters

President Trump says that the “Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting.”

Presumably, that’s when his plan to take it over for a rehab would begin.

When will the fighting end, exactly? We have a ceasefire now so does this assume that fighting will resume? On whose terms?

While the world digests President Trump’s proposal that the U.S. rebuild Gaza, Israel is reportedly not honoring the ceasefire. Al Jazeera reports that at least two Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire. One of them was a child, reportedly killed by a sniper.

Americans were frenzied for clarification on President Trump’s plans for Gaza. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt was asked if this plan would include American forces.

“The president has not committed to that yet,” she said.

Yet? So who would do all of this renovating and relocating of Palestinians that don’t want to leave? Puck News reports that the President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner was behind this plan. He has a background in real estate development so presumably, to them, it’s just a matter of relocating the tenants during the rehab. Only we know that is not the reality.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry released this statement about the plan. It states that Saudi Arabia will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without “an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.” They say that their position is “unwavering” and “non-negotiable and not subject to compromises.” Saudi Arabia is a U.S. ally so this position holds weight.

Hamas said that they condemn President Trump’s plans and are calling for “an emergency Arab summit to confront the displacement project.”

Fauci Not Off the Hook

Doctor Anthony Fauci’s pre-emptive pardon applies to federal prosecutions, not state prosecutions. That is why state Attorneys General are picking up this baton.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson says that he is “leading a coalition of state attorneys general in an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic response, demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements, and suppression of scientific debate.”

There is enough proof to show that he did all of those things. AG Wilson sent a letter to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to “commend ongoing Congressional efforts to uncover misconduct and request state-level cooperation in pursuing any violations of state laws.”

This means that they want Dr. Fauci to be subpoenaed by Congress. He would not have the ability to plead the Fifth Amendment due to the pardon.

South Carolina is leading this charge but other participating states include: Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Idaho, North Dakota, Utah, Indiana, South Dakota, Arkansas, Montana, Missouri, Kansas, West Virginia and Nebraska. Not one Democrat-lead state is curious about this issue.

State Run Media

News outlets have been exposed for having been paid by the U.S. government in the wake of the closure of USAID. The New York Times and Politico are in the hot seat right now.

Search for these organizations at USASpending.gov shows that they both received a lot of government money. Politico has received $8 million since 2016. The New York Times at least $1 million.

Politico editors say that this money was not for content. It was for a “professional subscription” that “provides both private and public sector clients with granular, fact-based reporting, real-time intelligence, and tracking tools across key policy areas.” Defenders of this say that the pro version offered “legislative tracking” and that it is a valuable tool, to the tune of $10,000 per year subscriptions. The US government’s own websites do that too so why did they need Politico to offer a dashboard? Even if the tool is that valuable, it still makes Politico a government contractor, which is an inherent journalistic conflict.

A search for the New York Times shows a similar pattern, taking money not just from USAID but also the Department of Defense, the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Science Foundation. Honestly, after how The New York Times lied to lead the American people into the Iraq war, I don’t know how anyone would be surprised by this.

Former State Department whistleblower Mike Benz made this cautionary note: there is “a distinction between USAID paying for premium prescriptions for its own staff vs USAID paying the media outlet to produce news…USAID does both, but the latter is obviously much more pernicious than the former.”

Wikileaks reports that “USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets and 279 ‘media’ NGOs, including nine out of ten media outlets in Ukraine.”

CBS still says that they will not apologize for the edits like this but are reportedly in talks to settle a legal dispute about it with President Trump.

Canada Admits Pandemic Mistakes

credit: Alberta Government

The province of Alberta in Canada published a damning report about the Covid pandemic, basically admitting that they got it all wrong.

The vaccine did not stop the transmission of Covid, masking did not stop the spread of Covid and had harms, lockdowns has “limited scientific data supporting such measures during the initial wave.”

Many of us knew this but it is amazing to see a government body knowing this. The province said that they were pressured by the federal government to implement pandemic measures and “these actions, while purportedly intended to uphold professional standards, often obstructed healthcare providers from performing their duties in good faith.”

This is a bombshell of an admission but will the federal government do something about it? The report has already been used in several court cases by people who were either injured by the Covid vaccine or punished for not taking it.

Lead: Flipping Gaza

Photo credit: Getty Images

President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday and announced a plan for the U.S. to “own” Gaza.

Own it? How did that concept get on the table?

President Trump said this: “The U.S. will take over the Gaza strip and we’ll do a job with it too. We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, get rid of destroyed buildings, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job, do something different. You just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way as 100 years.”

As he said this as Netanyahu nodded along. He also said that after the U.S. completes this “beautiful rehab,” Palestinians would have the right of return, along with many other “people of the world.” Maybe he sees Gaza like the next Dubai?

But who are “the people of the area”? Are they the same ones that “can’t go back”? Or are the Palestinians the ones that “can’t go back” and the “people of the area” mean Israelis? It’s hard to know for sure. Some say that what the U.S. is doing is keeping it out of Israel’s control so that they are forced to honor the ceasefire. That seems optimistic. It is hardly the two-state solution that the U.S. has always diplomatically supported.

And who will do this beautiful job? American troops? Do Republicans think that this is why they won the 2024 election?

In an earlier meeting, President Trump said that he would like to see Palestinians “resettled permanently in nice homes. where they can be happy and not be shot and not be killed.”

He said that while sitting next to the person that shoots and kills them.

He continued: “I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza. I think Gaza has been very unlucky for them. They’ve lived like hell, they’ve lived like you’re living in hell. Gaza is not a place for people to be living. And the only reason they want to go back, and I believe this strongly, is because they have no alternative.”

Hamas leaders say that they won’t go for this. Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said this, according to Al Jazeera: “Our people in the Gaza Strip will not allow these plans to pass. What is required is an end to the occupation and aggression against our people, not their expulsion from their land.”

The Trump administration also announced this tough stance on Iran and its nuclear program. Iran is Israel’s main enemy so it is no coincidence this happened during Netanyahu’s visit.

Withdrawing From the United Nations

Photo credit: Adobe Stock 

The White House announced that the United States will withdraw from and end funding to “certain United Nations organizations” and review support for all international organizations.

The executive order specifically mentions three UN organizations “that deserve renewed scrutiny.” They are the UN Human Rights Council, the UNHRC; the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).”

UNRWA has been one of the major sources of aid to the people of Palestine. Is it a coincidence that the United States withdrew support on the same day as the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? Israel has accused UNRWA of being aligned with Hamas and helping to execute the October 7 attack.

It would seem that the United States will remain a member of the United Nations, which is headquartered in New York City, and keep a delegate. For now.

The Trump administration is extending a buyout offer to members of the CIA. This is the same offer that federal workers were offered: If you retire, you will be paid for eight months and not have to come to work.

The Wall Street Journal reports that this move is to “bring the agency in line with President Trump’s priorities, including targeting drug cartels.” A CIA spokeswoman called this part of an effort to “infuse the agency with renewed energy.”

The agency has also reportedly frozen all new hires, even those that have been made job offers.

The Trump administration says that it wants the CIA to focus more on the Western hemisphere than Europe and the Middle East, where the CIA has done most of its work for decades.

Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Trump today. President Trump, worryingly, was asked on Monday about Israel annexing the West Bank and he said this:

“It’s a small country in terms of land…that’s not good… It’s a pretty small piece of land and it’s amazing that they’ve been able to do what they’ve been able to do when you think about it. There’s a lot of very smart brainpower. But it is a very small piece of land, no question about it.”

What does that mean exactly? That the U.S. President supports Israel annexing and ousting Palestinians from their homes? That he thinks that Israel has outgrown it’s country? Even if it did annex the West Bank, Israel would still be a small piece of land so….would Jordan and Egypt be next? Israel already tried to take the Sinai Peninsula but had to give it back in 1982 due to the Camp David Accords.

The Wall Street Journal cites unnamed “U.S. officials” reporting that “the Trump administration has asked congressional leaders to approve new transfers of roughly $1 billion worth of bombs and other military hardware to Israel at the same time the White House is working to preserve a fragile cease-fire in Gaza.”

This was announced by the Biden administration and President Trump has said that Israel already paid for them. Israeli officials have said that this was part of the conditions of the ceasefire.

Mexico and Canada

The Presidents of Mexico and Canada both made last-minute deals to avoid 25% tariffs on trade with the United States, which were imposed by the White House.

China did not make a deal so 10% tariffs will be imposed beginning today. China says that they oppose this and “will take necessary countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights and interests.”

The White House threatened these tariffs to get these countries to take responsibility for “halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.”

Mexico promised to send 10,000 troops to the Southern Border to prevent migrants from crossing North. In exchange, the U.S. promised to work “to prevent the trafficking of high-powered weapons to Mexico,” according to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.

Canada staved off the tariff by promising to implement a 1.3 billion border plan. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that Canada will commit to “reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.  In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.   Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.”

Those are hefty promises but will they really stop the powerful and dangerous drug trade or will bad people find a way? It’s better than what we had to stop the drug and human traffic, which was nothing, but what will happen to the drug economy now?

Another partner has shown up to deter drug and human traffickers: Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele says that his country is willing to “take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee. The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.” The images are pretty scary. Could this work? And are the people of El Salvador okay with hosting the worst of the worst?

Altitude Problem

Could the Black Hawk helicopter that slammed into a passenger airplane last week have had faulty altitude readings? That is what new data suggests.

Early investigation shows that the Black Hawk was shown an altitude of 200 feet, even though the crash happened at around 325 feet. Black Hawks are not supposed to fly above 200 feet so why were they? Did they have faulty readings? Was the system hacked to show faulty readings? Did the pilots not know that they were well over their allowed altitude?

To be honest, I’m surprised they’ve even acknowledged this much. Two men were arrested for leaking the footage of the airplanes collapsing. They were airport employees.

U.S. Could Own TikTok?

Wait, TikTok could be owned by the United States government instead of private Chinese investors? Does anyone think that’s a good alternative?

The Trump administration published an order to establish a “sovereign wealth fund to promote fiscal sustainability, lessen the burden of taxes on American families and small businesses, establish economic security for future generations, and promote United States economic and strategic leadership internationally.”

The fund would do what hedge funds are supposed to do: make investments. The President said that other countries have funds like this and putting TikTok in the fund was just one of many ideas he is spitballing.

“As an example, TikTok, we’re going to be doing something perhaps … and we might put that in the sovereign wealth fund, whatever we make, or if we do a partnership with very wealthy people — a lot of options, but we could put that as an example in the fund. We have a lot of other things that we can put in the fund.”

Another idea was discussed by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: investing in the vaccines that the government green lights.

“If we are going to buy 2 billion COVID vaccines, maybe we should have some warrants and some equity in these companies and have that grow for the health of the American people.”

The government profiting from the vaccines it implements? No. Didn’t we learn from the Covid vaccine?

Lead: Is the Gaza Truce on Trump?

Photo credit: Amos Ben-Gershom/GPO

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the United States to discuss foreign relations but he will have to wait until Tuesday to meet with President Trump. He is the first foreign dignitary to visit the new Trump administration by invitation.

Netanyahu will first meet with Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East. On Wednesday, he will hold meetings at the Pentagon and on Thursday, he will meet with members of Congress, presumably those who are heavily funded by Israel.

The timing is interesting because the second phase of the ceasefire discussions with Hamas is still ongoing. Netanyahu has said many times that Israel intends to resume military operations in Gaza after hostages are exchanged and Hamas says that it cannot agree to that. It would seem that this impasse is in the hands of the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, Israel blew up a neighborhood in the West Bank over the weekend but both Israel and Palestinian authorities said that the area had been evacuated so there are no reported casualties.

The End of The (Unipolar) World Ends

Photo credit: Toward Freedom

The United States is signaling an end to the “unipolar world” and acting accordingly. This sounds like diplomatic gobbledygook but it could actually be a major shift and the end of the U.S. policy to be the bully of the world.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has started to use the phrase “multipolar world, multi-great powers in different parts of the planet.” He wrote this in the Wall Street Journal:

“It’s no accident that my first trip abroad as secretary of state, to Central America on Friday, will keep me in the hemisphere. This is rare among secretaries of state over the past century. For many reasons, U.S. foreign policy has long focused on other regions while overlooking our own. As a result, we’ve let problems fester, missed opportunities and neglected partners. That ends now. President Trump’s foreign-policy agenda begins close to home.”

He’s right, most Secretaries of State start off in Europe and the Middle East, telling them what to do and how to be.

The U.S. is also, in the words of Arnaud Bertrand, “dismantling foreign interference apparatuses (like USAID).” The Trump administration shut down USAID in one fell swoop and exposed all manner of funding corruption in so doing. When DOGE tried to enter USAID offices this weekend, two officials reportedly tried to physically stop them and were put on leave. DOGE leader Elon Musk said that this agency has been put “into the wood chipper.” Follow former State Department whistleblower Mike Benz for a summary of all the evils that USAID was guilty of, including funding gain of function research in China, funding fake news organizations as propaganda, funding online censorship, funding heroin production in Afghanistan, and more.

President Trump said that it was run by “radical lunatics” and it is hard to argue with that. Elon Musk said that the National Endowment for Democracy may be next and I would show up with popcorn to watch that organization hit the wood chipper next!

These organizations have been used to justify and start wars by bullying other countries around the world under the guise of “teaching them to be more like us.” It’s high time that ends and, in the words of Bertrand, “Hegemony was going to end sooner or later, and now the U.S. is basically choosing to end it on its own terms. It is the post-American world order – brought to you by America itself.”

FBI Purge

Top FBI leaders have until today to resign or be sent packing. They were given notice on Thursday, even as the prospective head of the FBI Kash Patel has not yet been confirmed.

James E. Dennehy, a veteran agent who has been in charge of the New York City field office, sent an internal memo calling this “a battle of our own.”

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,” he wrote, according to the New York Times. He said it was time for him “to dig in.”

Dennehy is not reported to be among those asked to leave but at least five top officials in field offices in Miami, Philadelphia, Washington, New Orleans and Las Vegas were ordered to resign.

The Justice Department has ordered the FBI to “collect the names of bureau personnel who helped investigate the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.” We know that the government violated the civil rights of many of those defendants and we are owed an explanation of how. The New York Times reports that the number of relevant agents “could reach 6,000 — or about a sixth of the bureau’s 38,000 employees, according to the F.B.I.”

Russia intelligence reports that NATO is planning to oust Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky from power “by discrediting him ahead of potential elections next fall.”

He’s done a pretty good job of that on his own. What else could NATO do? They could all of a sudden see Zelensky’s own corruption that we have been reporting on Redacted for two years.

Hey, that guy is linked to the “embezzlement of over $1.5 billion in funds intended for purchasing military equipment.” We now know what we have been busy not knowing!

Moscow claims that NATO officials “see Zelensky as a key obstacle to peace talks with Moscow.”

“Washington and Brussels agree that the main obstacle to the implementation of such a scenario is Zelensky, who is referred to in Western circles as nothing more than ‘expendable material,’” the he Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said in the statement, adding that “even NATO understands that Zelensky’s time is up.”

Dictator Zelensky has held onto power citing marshal law while touring the world to beg for money for more of his people to die. Over the weekend, he said that he doesn’t even know where most of the money the West has sent has gone. Recent reports show that his military is so depleted that they are now enlisting people with diagnosed schizophrenia.

The Lead: Nightmare In The Sky

credit: x

A military Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines passenger plane over the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport. The plane had 60 passengers and four crew members. The helicopter had three people aboard. Washington D.C. authorities say that they now expect no survivors and the scene is now a recovery scene.

The plane was American Eagle flight 5342 traveling to Washington, D.C. from Wichita, Kansas. American Airlines has this sitededicated to further information. 

According to reports, the control tower saw this coming and asked the helicopter: "Do you have the CRJ in sight?" CRJ is the Bombardier CRJ700 Regional Jet. 

The crash happened at night but that hardly explains how this happened. Some reports show that the helicopter was "flying dark," meaning it had its transponder off. In a crowded civilian airspace? 

The Associated Press reports this: 

"A few minutes before landing, air traffic controllers asked the arriving commercial jet if it could land on the shorter Runway 33 at Reagan National and the pilots said they were able. Controllers then cleared the plane to land on Runway 33. Flight tracking sites showed the plane adjust its approach to the new runway.

Less than 30 seconds before the crash, an air traffic controller asks the helicopter if it has the arriving plane in sight. The controller makes another radio call to the helicopter moments later: “PAT 25 pass behind the CRJ.” Seconds after that the two aircraft collide." 

The U.S. Army confirmed that the helicopter was from the U.S. Army and said that the three soldiers were aboard a training flight. 

Air traffic control diverted all takeoffs and landings on Wednesday night and the airport was closed. One air traffic control transmission heard the tower tell a plane in the air that the airport was shutting down and the pilot replied, "Yeah. We witnessed the whole thing.”

The White House released this statement from the President Wednesday night. President Trump released this post on his own Truth Social page indicating that he has lingering questions and wants answers too.

Guantanamo Bay Is Taking Reservations

President Trump said that the U.S. will get Guantanamo Bay ready to hold the "worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people. Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back so we're going to send them out to Guantanamo."

He said that he would sign "an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay." He did indeed sign this order for just that.

The order doesn't mention the number of migrants but Guantanamo Bay does not hold 30,000 people. It was built to hold 800 and has never held more than 720 people. How in the world could it hold so many more people? Perhaps the President was embellishing in order to scare migrants into self deporting?

Guantanamo has a reputation for violating international human rights standards. Even if these are the worst of the worst, the debate over waterboarding was a fairly broad consensus that no one wants to see that happening again.

News By The Numbers

86%. That is how many young people reported that they do want "the American dream," according to a UCLA survey. When they were asked who is the embodiment of that dream that inspires them, some mentioned Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

7,400. That is how many people applied for White House press passes in just 24 hours after it was announced that any news outlet, even independent voices, can apply.

15. That is how many rehabilitation sessions a woman in the U.K has been sentenced to take after she was convicted of "cyber-farting." She could not stop herself from sending videos of herself farting to her boyfriend's ex and the victim said that the videos made her feel unsafe.

Antisemitism Law

On Wednesday, the Trump administration released this executive order to "combat anti-semitism."

"It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools, to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence," the order says.

Isn't harassment and violence illegal, no matter who it is against? Why is this needed for a specific group of people? It says that "Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault." Again, those things should be illegal, no matter what race the victim.

This comes in the same day that newly-sworn in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made it his priority in his second day on the job to hold a call with Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz. He said that the call was "to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel. I emphasized that, under President Trump’s leadership, the United States supports Israel’s security 100%." He continued, "I reiterated that the United States is committed to deepening the bilateral security relationship to enhance Israel’s ability to address regional threats and ensure Israel has the capabilities it needs. Minister Katz and I will remain in close contact moving forward.

The Hypocracy

Senator Elizabeth Warren asked Robert F Kennedy Jr. to "stop enriching yourself" by litigating against big pharma. Not coincidentally, she enriches herself by being supported by big pharma, to the tune of $1.6 million at least.

RFK Jr. earned legal fees from successfully suing pharmaceutical companies for hurting people. That experience has given him a unique insight in the American health industry but, according to Warren and The Wall Street Journal, that should be disqualifying.

"You're asking me not to sue pharmaceutical companies and I am not going to agree to that," he said.

"No I am not," she yelled but clearly she wants that.

Why, you might ask, should a member of Congress want to protect an industry from litigation? An industry that she profits from? That's queer, right?

What's Trending?

Vogue is trending for taking the piss out of Melania Trump's official White House portrait. They said she looked like a freelance magician. It's clear how they feel about her versus how they fawn over former First Ladies. Heck, they even gave Stormy Daniels a flattering feature.

"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" is trending because the animated series was released to good reviews on Disney+.

Bob Menendez is trending because the former New Jersey Senator was sentenced to 11 years in prison for corruption.
