Putin Ready to Discuss Truce with Ukraine After Trump Threatens Russia with “Large Scale Banking Sanctions” and Tariffs by Cristina Laila Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly ready for a truce with Ukraine after President Trump threatened to sanction Russia. President Trump on Friday morning threatened Russia with “large scale” banking sanctions and tariffs until Vladimir Putin reached a ceasefire and final settlement on peace with Ukraine. Vladimir Putin is willing to open the conversation toward a final peace settlement with Ukraine, according to Bloomberg. Bloomberg News reported: Russia is willing to discuss a temporary truce in Ukraine provided there is progress toward a final peace settlement, according to people familiar with the matter in Moscow. In the first signal of a positive response from President Vladimir Putin to US counterpart Donald Trump’s call for a ceasefire, the offer was conveyed at last month’s talks in Saudi Arabia between top Russian and American officials, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing internal policy. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/developing-putin-ready-discuss-truce-ukraine-after-trump/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-07/russia-s-putin-is-said-to-be-ready-to-agree-to-ukraine-truce-with-conditions?

Your 'point' shows you to be a fool. You know no such thing, it just helps you 'feel' justified about your anger.

Chuck Schumer’s Meltdown: Democrats Cling to the Department of Education Like It’s Their Woke Life Raft Schumer is a Democrat and the lie, so this should be no surprise. Local school districts receive only a small fraction of their funding from the federal government —an amount so negligible it would barely be missed if it disappeared. Instead, this money could be redistributed to the states, allowing them to allocate it to schools based on specific needs, such as areas with extreme poverty or a high percentage of students with learning differences. The real reason Democrats champion the Department of Education, however, is that it serves as a tool to promote their Leftist 'woke' agenda.

New Acting USAID Head Considering Criminal Referrals for Misuse of US Foreign Aid Exposed by DOGE DOGE revealed a lot of shocking things when it came to waste, fraud, and abuse. But probably none so far have been as concerning as some of the things revealed about what USAID has done with our money. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) listed some of the shocking expenditures on the floor of the Senate, including money allegedly ending up going to terrorists. President Donald Trump also listed some of the unbelievable expenditures during his Joint Address to Congress. He pointed it out in a funny way, joking about actual spending on "sedentary migrants" — what the heck is a "sedentary migrant"? — and Lesotho, but making the larger point of how out of kilter this all was. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/03/07/current-usaid-head-preparing-criminal-referrals-for-misuse-of-us-foreign-aid-exposed-by-doge-n2186400

THIS IS WHAT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SURGERY DEPT IS UP TO INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, TEACHING SURGERY: These tweets are all in the last two weeks… And, not joking, I initially thought the first tweet on the surgery Grand Rounds on voting rights was satire from the Babylon Bee or something. https://instapundit.com/706892/#disqus_thread

The Dems’ game has been revealed. The revenue stream for their national wrecking operations is suddenly cut off and it’s game-over. Everybody can see how this worked now. You funnel vast amounts of US taxpayer dollars into Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, spin off more NGOs below them, and add extra layers of subsidiary NGOs, and all of them pay their staffs of Dem Party foot-soldiers for do-nothing jobs — leaving plenty of time for riots and real-estate investing — a splendid racket that worked for years to support the insane antics of the Woke-Jacobin revolution. (And you paid for it.) The catch is: an org that gets government money is hardly non-governmental. Wouldn’t you think there’s some law against that? Thus, Exhibit A: in September 2022, Dem luminary John Podesta was put in-charge of a $369-billion fund out of “Joe Biden’s” so-called Inflation Reduction Act, tagged for climate change action. Conceptualize further: that’s three-hundred-seventy-nine-thousand-million dollars (!), a lot of millions, disbursed among tens of thousands of NGOs and their contractors. It boggles the mind that the government could even manage to cream-off such a fortune out our nation’s alleged aggregate productivity. It was, in reality, money conjured out of thin air: debt. Before long, you are going to find out where it all went, and the picture will not be a pretty one: Into the NGO laundromat and straight out to Democratic Party members’ bank accounts, one of the greatest grifts in our history. Of course, your grandchildren are on the hook for all the debt behind it. Do you think our DC Federal District judges would serve better presiding over these matters than spending years hunting down J-6 “paraders”? Without that bonanza of conjured money for laying trips on the rest of us, the Democratic Party has nothing, not a single credible idea, not any plausible leadership, really no reason to exist. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/dems-game-has-been-exposed

Democrats Pushing Federal Mag Capacity Bill Mark Chesnut A group of anti-gun U.S. Senators has introduced a measure that would outlaw firearm magazines that could hold more than 10 rounds and authorize a so-called “buyback” program to confiscate magazines holding more rounds. The so-called Keep Americans Safe Act, introduced in both the House and Senate, would prohibit the sale or transfer of magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds to anyone except law enforcement and prohibit the possession of such magazines manufactured after the date of enactment by anyone except law enforcement; authorize magazine buyback programs; and empower law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and ATF, to seize and destroy magazines that are possessed illegally. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/dems-pushing-federal-mag-capacity-bill/ Keep Americans safe my azz. .

WHO KNOWS HERE IT COMES FROM AND WHERE IT GOES: ActBlue Crisis Spells Disaster for Democratic Campaign Cash. It looks like the left's golden goose lays rotten eggs. ActBlue, the Democratic Party's preferred fundraising platform that has funneled over $16 billion to progressive causes since 2004, is experiencing what we can only describe as a total meltdown. And the timing couldn't be more suspicious. In just three weeks, at least seven senior officials have jumped from the sinking ship. We're not talking about low-level staffers here — these are heavy hitters, including their top legal officer, chief revenue officer, and veterans who've been with the organization for over a decade. When people like this are running for the hills, something big is happening. The mass exodus kicked off last month when both the customer service and partnerships directors — each with more than ten years at ActBlue — bailed. Former VP for customer service Alyssa Twomey tried spinning her departure as simply needing "rest" after 14 years, but she’s not fooling anyone. Congressional Republicans and 19 state attorneys general started investigating ActBlue for potential fraud, foreign donations, and suspicious contribution patterns, and the organization's last remaining lawyer got locked out of his email after posting about whistleblower policies. Coincidence? Please. This is not garden-variety turnover. In fact, according to the New York Times, “The exodus has set off deep concerns about ActBlue’s future.” https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/03/07/actblue-crisis-spells-disaster-for-democratic-campaign-cash-n4937677 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/us/politics/actblue-democrat-fundraising-resignations.html .

GET READY FOR THE DEMOCRATIC RETREAT ON TRANS ATHLETES: Newsom has been governor of California for six years, two months, and one day. At no point in that six-year-and-change span did Newsom express even a peep of objection to that law or policy — right up until the moment Newsom sat down for the inaugural edition of his podcast with Charlie Kirk. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the California governor claimed that for years, he had thought the policy was unfair to women athletes Based on Newsom’s sudden about-face, it’s entirely possible that five years from now, Democrats will act like they’ve always opposed transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. These days you don’t find many Democrats arguing that Covid lockdowns were awesome, that keeping kids out of school for at least a year was harmless, that people ought to be fired if they don’t take the Covid vaccine, or that the lab leak was a crazy xenophobic conspiracy theory. When Democrats abandon a position, they count on mass amnesia over their old stances and often get away with it. https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/get-ready-for-the-democratic-retreat-on-trans-athletes/ Exit quote: “This never happened.

5 Ukrainian fables By Victor Davis Hanson Fable one: Trump is appeasing Russia? Who wiped out the Wagner group in Syria? Who sold offensive weapons to Ukraine first? Who warned Germany not to become dependent on the Russian Nord Stream II deal? Who withdrew from an unfair missile deal with the Russians? Who cajoled and berated NATO members to meet their military investment promises made following the 2014 invasion of Ukraine? In contrast, who originally conceived a Russian "reset" in 2009? Who publicly virtue-signaled pushing the red "reset" button in Geneva with the current Russian Minister Sergey Lavrov? Which ex-European leader got a million euros a year working for Russian energy companies? Of the last four presidents, under whose watch did Putin not invade another country? Which American president, in hot-mic style, offered to (and did) dismantle U.S.-Eastern Europe missile defense plans in exchange for temporary Putin quietude ("space") to aid his 2012 reelection? Fable two: A trade war? President Donald Trump is not wildly slapping tariffs on Europeans. He is simply saying that 1945 is now 80 years past and that the asymmetrical tariffs that Europe imposes on U.S. imports should be corrected. The massive trade surpluses Europe accumulates each year should give way to fairer, more balanced trade. If Europe does not want tariffs, then simply calibrate its own tariffs on what America places on European imported goods, and work down jointly to zero tariffs on both sides. Fable three: America is bullying Europe? The U.S. does not actively interfere in European elections and politics. In 2024, Europeans, especially the British Laborites, bragged about sending over campaign "volunteers" to work against Trump and, earlier, his conservative predecessors. British subject Christopher Steele sought to sabotage an entire American 2016 election with a falsified "dossier." The Ukrainian ambassador in 2016 wrote an op-ed all but endorsing Hillary Clinton and trashing her opponent. In September 2024, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was flown in on a Biden-provided U.S. military jet to Scranton, Pennsylvania — at a pivotal time in the most pivotal swing state — to surround himself with Democrat politicos. His media-frenzied presence signaled a partisan campaign theme that a Kamala Harris win and the continuance of massive Democrat aid to Ukraine would ensure manufacturing jobs, such as the artillery shell factory he selected to visit. Fable four: Negotiating with Putin is selling out? In the long history of Western diplomacy with mass-murdering tyrants, Putin doesn't even rank among the worst. Just ask his former reset partners Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. FDR fueled mass-murdering "Uncle Joe" Stalin's Red Army as a way to defeat Nazi Germany. Richard Nixon flattered and cajoled the greatest mass murderer in history, Mao Zedong, to triangulate China against the Soviet Union. Ronald Reagan offered to share missile defense expertise with Soviet Russia. Europeans have hosted almost every Palestinian murderous terrorist leader, as a way either of deflecting terrorism from their own shores or emphasizing their general loathing of Israel. Fable five: Europe is going to save Ukraine? Europe rushed to congratulate and celebrate with Zelensky after his pre-planned White House blow-up. They are loudly announcing that a supposedly isolationist and appeasing U.S. — which has sent more aid to Ukraine than all nearby European nations combined — will now be supplanted by a "new" muscular and rearmed Europe. We sincerely hope so. But on every recent international moral question — ganging up on a lone Israel to appease terrorist forces in the Middle East, standing up to China's mercantilism, neo-imperialism, and domestic oppression of minorities, or Russia's prior 2008 and 2014 invasions — European outrage has been muted, real consequences nonexistent. {snip} Aside from all the present posturing and mock-heroics, the only way to save Ukraine is for the U.S. president, Donald Trump, to reflect joint Ukrainian, American, and European interests in stopping the war, forcing Putin as far back eastward as possible where he started in 2022, and creating a credible deterrent along with a DMZ/industrial corridor tripwire to stop another 2008, 2014, and 2022 invasion. Anything else is empty carnival barking. http://jewishworldreview.com/0325/hanson030725.php

Another win.

Trump, like Reagan in ’81, is willing to take the hits in his first year or so to deliver lasting results later. .
