Zelenskiy also responds to today's meeting with Trump: Thankful to the US President and American people.

The time is on Putin's side. - Steve Rosenberg

A Statement from President Donald J. Trump

“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

Here is a review by the law and crime channel on the released Epstein files. As expected, heavily redacted and the heavy use of cryptic notations.

This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer! It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and, Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S. – Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?

Kill Tony is going mainstream. Saturday Night Live, one of the most liberal nigh shows, is now not afraid to joke about race.

Tomorrow morning I will be speaking to President Putin concerning the War in Ukraine. Many elements of a Final Agreement have been agreed to, but much remains. Thousands of young soldiers, and others, are being killed. Each week brings 2,500 soldier deaths, from both sides, and it must end NOW. I look very much forward to the call with President Putin.

My phone conversation today with President Putin of Russia was a very good and productive one. We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine. This War would have never started if I were President! Many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and both President Putin and President Zelenskyy would like to see it end. That process is now in full force and effect, and we will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!

Just completed a very good telephone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. It lasted approximately one hour. Much of the discussion was based on the call made yesterday with President Putin in order to align both Russia and Ukraine in terms of their requests and needs. We are very much on track, and I will ask Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, to give an accurate description of the points discussed. That Statement will be put out shortly.

A comic relief, Canada to be named Crussia.

Is Ukraine better off with or without Russia? Here is one of the future scenarios being discussed between the US and Russia - splitting Ukraine into territories controlled by different countries.

In fairness to Trump… he is trying.

On tariffs, diplomacy, immigration, the deficit, bureaucracy— he is pointed in the right direction and making an effort.

The problem, as always, is the incompetence, absence of a real strategy, sloppiness, lack of focus.

This trade war, although well-intentioned, is so far a complete disaster owing largely to the sloppy, hastily assembled tariff rates and failure to communicate its goals.

The War between Russia and Ukraine is Biden’s war, not mine. I just got here, and for four years during my term, had no problem in preventing it from happening. President Putin, and everyone else, respected your President! I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS WAR, BUT AM WORKING DILIGENTLY TO GET THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION TO STOP. If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED, and it was, in so many ways, that horrible War would never have happened. President Zelenskyy and Crooked Joe Biden did an absolutely horrible job in allowing this travesty to begin. There were so many ways of preventing it from ever starting. But that is the past. Now we have to get it to STOP, AND FAST. SO SAD!

Kiev and the Ukrainian East in the eyes of the YouTube blogger, 2025.

It’s disheartening to see that many American seniors cannot rely on Social Security, especially in an era defined by negative savings rates, soaring prices, and a rising cost of living. Retirees often face a harsh choice: fall into poverty and risk homelessness, or move abroad to more affordable countries. As the leading global power, the U.S. has the means to provide far better support for its aging population.

"The serious violence unleashed by Tiap-Liap went almost unhindered, as the Soviet authorities were terrified of acknowledging that a problem of
organized violence and crime could exist in a socialist country." - Svetlana Stephenson, Gangs of Russia.

Tiap-Liap was one of the first officially recognized criminal gangs in the Soviet Union.

This is the hallmark of the socialist state (e.g. Russia, China, or North Korea): a reluctance to acknowledge deep-rooted problems and societal faults, as doing so would challenge the ideological narrative they strive to maintain.
