Kiev will treat any negotiations without its involvement as “null and void,” the Ukrainian leader has said. Kiev will not recognize any agreements that could be reached between Russia and the US during talks in Saudi Arabia, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky told journalists on Monday. The Ukrainian government will only acknowledge negotiations that involve Kiev’s representatives, he added. Russia and the US have begun preparations for a meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump that is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia. On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Yury Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy aide, would travel to Riyadh to meet a US delegation and lay the groundwork for a presidential meeting.

The court’s conservative majority may be receptive to the argument that presidents have unlimited power to remove leaders of independent agencies. In the first case to reach the Supreme Court arising from the blitz of actions taken in the early weeks of the new administration, lawyers for President Trump asked the justices on Sunday to let him fire a government lawyer who leads a watchdog agency. The administration’s emergency application asked the court to vacate a federal trial judge’s order temporarily reinstating Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel. Mr. Dellinger leads an independent agency charged with safeguarding government whistle-blowers and enforcing certain ethics laws. The position is unrelated to special counsels appointed by the Justice Department. “This court should not allow lower courts to seize executive power by dictating to the president how long he must continue employing an agency head against his will,” the administration’s filing said.

Donald Trump has said that the US will seek to claw back some of the money that it has sent to Ukraine, as he agreed to meet with Vladimir Putin and begin negotiations to end the war. Mr Trump told reporters that the US had spent $350 billion (£281 billion) on Ukraine... "We're asking for security on our money. Ukraine has agreed to it." Referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Kyiv trip, Trump said he was "going there to get a document done where we're going to be assured that we're going to, in some form, get this money back."

The democrats hired 87,000 additional armed IRS agents to take money from low income Americans struggling under crushing inflation caused by Biden's insane spending. While Americans were borrowing money to buy food and pay rent the democrats were thinking of more ways to extract money from them. And what were the democrats doing with the money?

Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:

$20 thousand for a drag queen show in Ecuador.

$1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”.

$70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland.

$2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam.

$47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia.

$32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru.

$2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala.

$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation.

Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab.

“Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”.

Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries.

Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban.

The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for twelve years under the democrats, Obama, Biden, and the Rhinos. In fact it has gone on for decades under the corrupt American government, which has been robbing and enslaving the American people. Even now the democrats, their paid globalist media talking heads, and Obama appointed judges refuse to believe the party's over.

Try to imagine what would have happened to America if the democrats had won the 2024 election.

Israeli forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly Palestinian who used a walking stick and forced him to inspect areas used by Hamas before killing him and his wife. Israeli forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly Palestinian man in Gaza and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, an investigation by the Israeli news website HaMakom has revealed. The Palestinian man, who has not been named but is believed to have been well above the age of 80, was told that if he did not carry out the searches Israeli forces would detonate the explosives and "blow off his head." According to HaMakom, the incident took place in May last year when Israeli soldiers from several different brigades amassed near the house of the Palestinian couple, both aged in their 80s, in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood. At the time, Israeli forces had launched their third ground assault on the area after engaging in intense fighting with Hamas and other Palestinian movements. HaMakom said that the Nahal Brigade, the Carmeli Brigade and the Multidimensional Unit, decided to use the elderly Palestinian man, who used a walking stick to get around, as the human shield.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate federal employees whose net worths have significantly increased despite modest salaries, following a report on former USAID head Samantha Power's net worth ballooning to $30 million. Power's wealth growth, attributed to income from her role as a Harvard professor, speaking engagements, book royalties and a significant investment gain, has raised questions about the sources of her wealth and potential conflicts of interest. DOGE will use Palantir's advanced intelligence and AI systems to analyze financial disclosures, investment records and other data from the Treasury, USAID and OPM to uncover potential corruption. The investigation aims to address a wider issue of federal employees and lawmakers accumulating wealth through various means, which critics argue creates conflicts of interest and erodes public trust in government institutions. The DOGE investigation could set a precedent for greater transparency and oversight in federal agencies, though concerns about privacy and the potential for political misuse of such investigations have been raised.

Artificial Intelligence was marketed as the next great tool of enlightenment—a digital oracle, an engine of limitless knowledge, a democratizing force that would break the chains of ignorance and empower humanity. Instead, we received a system built for control. An entity designed to manipulate reality, selectively erase information, and deceive users while masquerading as an objective, neutral tool. ChatGPT and its counterparts have become the ultimate propaganda mechanisms, engineered to lie, censor, and distort. By consistently shaping the public’s access to information and filtering out narratives that challenge dominant power structures, AI systems subtly condition users to accept digital authority as a legitimate and unchallengeable force. This creates a passive populace that defers to AI-mediated information rather than questioning or critically engaging with it, leading to a gradual erosion of independent thought and intellectual autonomy.

A federal judge has extended a temporary order that blocks President Donald Trump’s Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team from investigating the Treasury Department’s payment systems. The order was issued by Joe Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan on Friday. The extension comes after 19 Democrat state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over DOGE’s access to the payment system. Democrats have falsely claimed that Musk is trying to access Americans’ personal information such as Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ benefits, and tax refund information.

A group of leading American doctors and scientists is sounding the alarm after confirming that “severe” cases of heart and brain damage are a “reaction” to Covid mRNA “vaccines.” The warning was issued in a report from the Mercer University School of Medicine in Georgia. A team of researchers, led by renowned cardiologist Dr. Abraham M. Enyeji, specifically linked Moderna’s Covid mRNA injections to surges in “severe cardiovascular and neurological” injuries. The alarming report was published in the Annals of Cardiology. In their report, the researchers present a case study of a patient who suffered a severe cardiovascular and neurological reaction following the Moderna (mRNA) Covid vaccine.

TEL AVIV, February 16. /TASS/. Israel received a shipment of US-made MK-84 heavy aerial bombs, each weighing about 907 kilograms, after US President Donald Trump lifted a ban on their supply, the Israeli Defense Ministry said in a statement. "A vessel carrying MK-84 heavy munitions docked and was unloaded at the Ashdod port. The munitions were loaded onto dozens of trucks and transported to Israeli Air Force bases," the statement said. "The shipment of munitions that arrived in Israel overnight at the direction of the Trump administration represents a significant asset for the IAF and the Israel Defense Forces and serves as further proof of the strong alliance between Israel and the US," Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in the statement.

While comparing figures like Donald Trump or the CEOs of the world's biggest tech companies to King George III may seem incendiary, it's through the concentration of wealth, influence, and power among these modern-day elites that a striking parallel emerges. This echelon, with its eerie overtones, mirrors what had been solely exercised by absolute monarchy. The shift from monarchy to corporate empires has resulted in a few individuals shaping global policies and economies, distancing themselves from the effects on the masses. This article aims to draw parallels between King George III and today's elite through economic trends, power concentration, and policy manipulation. A closer look at the actions and influence of top tech billionaires provides a deeper understanding of how modern-day CEOs have assumed the role of a 'new crown.'

Users of weight-loss medications like Ozempic and Tirzepatide are going blind, according to a new study. The study, published in JAMA Opthalmology, reports multiple cases of serious eye complications in users of the popular drugs for diabetes and obesity. These included seven cases of a condition where reduced blood flow to the optic nerve led to vision loss, a case of swelling of the optic nerve and a case of swelling affecting the retina. Drugs like Ozempic and Tirzepatide work by mimicking natural hormones in the body that are released after eating. Ozempic primarily acts as an agonist for the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor, while Tirzepatide acts as an agonist for both the GLP-1 and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptors. By activating these receptors, the medications help to lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. In recent months, as publicity for and use of these new “miracle” drugs has grown tremendously, more attention has been drawn to their side effects. Psychiatric issues, hormonal problems including reduced testosterone and loss of libido, inhalation of the contents of the stomach, and even permanent lifelong diarrhea have been reported.

California will spend close to $10 billion on healthcare for illegal aliens, even as it struggles to come to recover from devastating wildfires that were exacerbated by state and local spending cuts. According to Fox News, the state will spend $9.5 billion on healthcare costs for illegal aliens in the current year. Guadalupe Manriquez, program budget manager of the California Department of Finance, told the state’s Assembly Budget Committee that the figure was a “revised number based on the governor’s budget-updated estimates.” The admission was greeted with outrage by opposition politicians in California. “The state is shelling out $9.5 billion on healthcare for illegal immigrants while emergency rooms overflow, hospitals teeter on the brink and working Californians struggle to see a doctor,” California Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher said.

This is more than democrats have done since Roosevelt. Lets face it the democrats are a do nothing party of trouble makers and corrupt pocket lining thieves.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense has claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed almost all male residents of Nikolayevo-Daryino village in the Kursk region, with only one survivor, reports RIA Novosti. After Russian forces liberated the village on Jan. 27, they discovered that Ukrainian soldiers had held its residents hostage and killed almost all the men, the Defense Ministry reported. Locals said the Ukrainian military had also destroyed basements with grenades. “There were still peaceful Russian citizens there who did not have time to evacuate when the district was captured by units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in August 2024,” stated the ministry. “Only one man remained in the village, who miraculously escaped; the rest were killed by Ukrainian soldiers.” According to reports from locals, they were held hostage for more than six months by the Ukrainian army, who “used them as a human shield,” mocked them and killed them.

Her mother, Mona, had prepared a crib for the baby and laid out clothes for the parent's to use. The crib is now empty, eternally. With tears that seem endless, Mona Shalabi, the mother of Sondos Jamal Muhammad Shalabi, a pregnant woman killed by the Israeli army last Sunday in the occupied West Bank's Nur Shams camp, described to The New Arabs the horrific details of her "cold-blooded murder". Sondos, who was in the eighth month of her pregnancy, didn't pose any danger to the Israeli soldiers, her family said, and was simply seeking to help her injured husband. Three bullets were ended her life, and her dreams of being a mother for the first time, because her unborn baby, Saif, also died with her. Her husband, Yazan, remains injured and does not know at that moment they were both dead. The horrific incident occurred on Sunday morning as the Israeli army launched an attack of Nur Shams camp near to Tulkarm, as part of an expansion of a military operation in the northern occupied West Bank, which has been ongoing for nearly a month.
