TRUTH. AMERICA FIRST.

You're right. When I first watched the argument without the proper context, I thought it was possible that Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky or were even trying to humiliate him. That's not what happened. You had 40 minutes of calm conversation. Vance made a point that didn't attack Zelensky and wasn't even addressed to him, and Zelensky clearly started the argument. In the first 40 minutes, Zelensky kept trying to go beyond what was negotiated in the deal. When Trump was asked a question, it was always "we'll see." Zelensky made blanket assertions that there would be no negotiating with Putin, and that Russia would pay for the war. When Trump said that it was a tragedy that people on both sides were dying, Zelensky interjected that the Russians were the invaders. For his part, Trump made clear that the US would continue delivering military aid. All Zelensky had to do was remain calm for a few more minutes and they would've signed a deal. The argument started when Trump pointed out that it would be hard to make a deal if you talk about Putin the way Zelensky does. Vance interjects to make the reasonable point that Biden called Putin names and that didn't get us anywhere. The Zelensky/Trump dynamic was calm and stable. It was when Vance spoke that Zelensky started to interrogate him. Throughout the press conference to that point, everyone was making their arguments directly to the audience. Zelensky decided to challenge Vance and ask him hostile questions. He went back to his point that Putin never sticks to ceasefires, once again implying that negotiations are pointless. Why on earth would you do this? Then came the fight we all saw. Zelensky was minutes away from being home free, and he would have had the deal and new commitments from the Trump administration. The point Vance made was directed against Biden and the media, taking them to task for speaking in moralistic terms. This offended Zelensky, and that began the argument. I've been a fan of Zelensky up to this point, but this showed so much incompetence, if not emotional instability, that I don't see how he recovers from this. The relationship with the administration is broken. Ukraine should probably go with new leadership at this point.

Comments ? NEW: Elon Musk just revealed that the government handed the Navy $12 billion to build new submarines —and not a single submarine was built. When investigators asked where the money went, Navy officials shrugged and said they had no idea. “There’s a case where I think Senator Collins was telling me about how she gave the Navy $12 billion for more submarines, got no extra submarines, and then held a hearing to say where the $12 billion go. “And they were like, we don’t know. That was it. I mean, basically, stuff is so crazy. Only the federal government could get away with this level of waste,” Musk said.

Had been slowly recovering, but apparently has had another bad episode. Continuing prayers for his recovery.

Seeing in Bloomberg law that Acting US Attorney for DC Ed Martin has "demoted" supervisors who oversaw the Jan6 prosecutions. First -- that's the right thing to do based on a long-record of their decision-making on how to handle those cases. Second -- IT IS COMMON IN EACH CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE WHITE HOUSE to change the supervisors in US Attorneys Offices. Why should Ed Martin rely on the supervisors put in place by Joe Biden's US Attorney. Happened in both Calif and Hawaii when I was an AUSA from Bush to Clinton, then Clinton to Bush, then Bush to Obama. Every supervisor in the office was demoted back to line prosecutors - some resigned -- and other line prosecutors was promoted into supervisor spots. SO -- AGAIN -- don't let the media gaslight you into thinking this anything other than normal.

Awwwwwww.

Zelenskyy found out the hard way that Biden and Harris are no longer handing him blank checks anymore. The meeting apparently didn't go so well, and Zelenskyy was eventually shown the door:

Bondi orders DOJ to throw out DEI lawsuits against police, firefighters The Hill, by Filip Timotija Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) this week to throw out lawsuits the Biden administration filed accusing police and fire departments around the country of discrimination when hiring candidates. Bondi directed the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division on Wednesday to dismiss the federal civil rights lawsuits, arguing the prior administration “unjustly” went after fire and police departments for utilizing standard aptitude exams to comb through and help select their new employees. “American communities deserve firefighters and police officers to be chosen for their skill and dedication to public safety – not to meet DEI quotas,” Bondi said in a statement, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5167127-doj-dei-police-fire-lawsuits/

Rubio: ‘Strong Desire’ in Middle East for Abraham Accords Expansion, ‘World Has Been Dying for’ Trump’s ‘Kind of Leadership’ by Matthew Boyle Washington—Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Breitbart News that his conversations with leaders across the Middle East suggest a “strong desire” in the region to see expansion of the historic Abraham Accords, and that worldwide the planet is thrilled President Donald Trump is back in the White House, as the “world has been dying for” Trump’s “kind of leadership” again in Washington. “I think there is a strong desire,” Rubio said when asked if he thinks a deal can be brokered to expand the Abraham Accords to include nations like Saudi Arabia. “I think what was behind October 7 in some ways was an effort to stop that from happening. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/02/27/exclusive-rubio-strong-desire-in-middle-east-for-abraham-accords-expansion-world-has-been-dying-for-trumps-kind-of-leadership/

FBI withheld ‘thousands of pages’ of Jeffrey Epstein docs, Pam Bondi says — and she’s demanding they be turned over by Josh Christenson Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Thursday that “thousands of pages” of documents in the FBI’s investigation into the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were withheld from her. And she’s demanding that they be turned over by Friday morning. Bondi, 59, disclosed in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel a tipster said that all but “approximately 200 pages of documents” were still being kept secret at the FBI’s office in New York — despite her after repeated requests for the “full” Epstein files. The initial batch included flight logs, phone numbers and the names of victims, but a source in the FBI’s New York office reached out and said that hundreds https://nypost.com/2025/02/27/us-news/fbi-withheld-thousands-of-pages-of-jeffrey-epstein-docs-bondi/
