Revealed: Trump’s confidential plan to put Ukraine in a stranglehold

UK Telegraph

A new Versailles If this draft were accepted, Trump’s demands would amount to a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than reparations imposed on Germany at the Versailles Treaty, later whittled down at the London Conference in 1921, and by the Dawes Plan in 1924. At the same time, he seems willing to let Russia off the hook entirely. Donald Trump told Fox News that Ukraine had “essentially agreed” to hand over $500bn. “They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earths, in terms of oil and gas, in terms of other things,” he said.

Measles Vaccine Failures Documented for A Quarter of A Century, Around the World

Sayer Ji

As measles outbreaks continue to surface, the mainstream media is now using them as a political weapon, attempting to blame our new HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for so-called "anti-vaccine rhetoric." The Wall Street Journal recently ran an opinion piece titled “RFK Jr. as Health Secretary? Look at the Texas Measles Outbreak”, insinuating that his advocacy for vaccine safety is responsible for rising measles cases. This narrative is not only baseless but ignores decades of documented measles vaccine failures—failures that have occurred in highly vaccinated populations all over the world.

Germany Is Self-Imploding

The Daily Signal

Germany is deindustrializing. And by that I mean it’s losing about 200,000 jobs in its auto industry due to these high energy prices and regulations. Its green mandates, especially electric vehicle mandates, have revolutionized the car industry, in the sense that they’re not selling abroad as they did in the past. In addition to that, Germany’s disarmed. They only have about 125 attack aircraft. They have very few armored vehicles. Their active military is only about 180,000 soldiers.

GOA, GOF Target N.J. Hollow Point Ban

The Truth About Guns

“Despite being widely used by law enforcement and civilians across the country for personal protection, New Jersey’s draconian laws prohibit the possession of commonly used hollow-point ammunition outside the home, leaving residents to carry substandard full metal jacket ammunition instead,” GOA said in a press release announcing the action. “The plaintiffs argue that there is no historical precedent for such a ban and cite Heller and Bruen as key Supreme Court decisions affirming their constitutional rights.”

CBS Host Says Hitler 'Weaponized Free Speech' To Commit Holocaust, Gets Shut Down By Rubio

Rubio didn't let the remark stand, replying: "Well, I have to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal ... There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole and only party that governed that country. So that's not an accurate reflection of history."

OVERRIDE -- INSIDE THE REVOLUTION REWIRING AMERICAN POWER

EKO

By 6 AM, Treasury's career officials began arriving for work. They found systems they thought impenetrable already mapped. Networks they believed hidden already exposed. Power structures built over decades revealed in hours. Their traditional defenses—slow-walking decisions, leaking damaging stories, stonewalling requests—proved useless against an opponent moving faster than their systems could react. By the time they drafted their first memo objecting to this breach, three more systems had already been mapped

How USAID funded terror states which killed US soldiers

Israel National News

Somalia, along with other Islamic terrorist entities, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza, were among the top beneficiaries of USAID cash. USAID sent $2.1 billion to Gaza and the "West Bank" since the Hamas attacks of Oct 7. In 2024 alone, $917 million was programmed for the terrorist areas occupying Israel. USAID provided over $3.7 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over with $832 million in the previous fiscal year alone. The money was so unaccountable that USAID refused to cooperate with SIGAR: the government watchdog tracking spending in Afghanistan intent on blocking money from aiding terrorists.

Danger of Deep Worldwide Recession in 2025 – Ed Dowd

USA Watchdog

“We are seeing a recession in 2025. The rest of the globe is already starting to roll over. It’s going to be a worldwide recession. There is going to be a mini housing crisis. Housing has been stagnant for the better part of the year. There is no transaction volume, and nobody can afford homes. We are hitting the 18-year housing cycle. The last housing cycle was in 2007, and you add 18 years and you get 2025. . . . The economy for the middle-class is going down. . . . As time goes on, we are going to see GDP numbers go lower and lower and lower. . . . It’s kind of a perfect storm for the Trump Administration.

Musk Calls For Impeachment Of Obama-Appointed Judge Who Blocked DOGE Access At Treasury

On Friday night, Democrats went 'judge shopping' to ask that Musk's team be stopped from accessing Treasury systems, knowing that instead of receiving a judge by random selection, the only available judge would be Paul Engelmayer - who held an ex-parte hearing without DOJ lawyers.

DOGE Takes Over Washington, Literally and Figuratively

The Daily Signal

The next big test of whether congressional Republicans mean business with regard to reining in spending is the budget reconciliation process, in which Congress will make key decisions on spending and taxation, and funding Trump’s ambitious campaign promises. Burchett said that while he was disappointed that congressional leadership had not consulted him and his fiscally conservative allies as of Friday, the Republicans’ slim House majority means that leadership would eventually have to hear his case for deeper cuts on spending.

Sorry, Liberals. DOGE Is 100% Legal. Here’s Why.

The Daily Signal

Elon Musk has statutory authority. This Department of Government Efficiency is not a Cabinet agency. He does not have to be approved by Congress. And it only is going to last until July 4, 2026. It’s not a permanent agency, but he has the same power, or lack of such, as the national security adviser, who does not have to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

The Rise and Rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The Epoch Times

The sudden emergence of the unity effort of Trump and Kennedy together disoriented both sides, simply because the coalition brought together factions that had long seemed opposed. Kennedy was a long-time environmental lawyer, and Trump was generally an anti-environmentalist. They would agree to disagree on oil and energy but concentrate on the economic and physical health of America, which came to be embodied in the MAGA/MAHA coalition.

Why Does the NYT Continue To Print Front Page Lies About RFK Jr.?

Real Clear Wire

“Kennedy’s Lawyer Has Asked the F.D.A. to Revoke Approval of the Polio Vaccine” To the ordinary reader, the headline says pretty clearly that Kennedy asked his lawyer to revoke the polio vaccine. The headline makes the shocking accusation that Kennedy is in favor of banning the polio vaccine. There is no other way of interpreting it. But it is flagrantly false and a gross distortion of the truth. There is not one polio vaccine; there are six different polio vaccines that are used worldwide. Moreover, Aaron Siri, the lawyer in question, does not represent Kennedy in his petition.
