Zelensky Is Asked About ‘What Specific Concessions’ He Is Willing to Make to End Ukraine-Russia War

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was asked “what specific concessions” he would be willing to make in order to bring the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine to an end.

During a meeting between President Donald Trump and Zelensky at the White House on Friday, Cara Castronuova, a reporter with LindellTV, pointed out that Trump had just “brokered a peace deal in the Middle East” and pointed out that in order to do that, “both sides had to meet concessions.”

“Our President has stuck out his neck in many ways to make a peace deal for your war, as well,” Castronuova said to Zelensky during a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump. “What specific concessions are you willing to make to end this war with Russia? Will you give up joining NATO?”

Castronuova continued to point out that “Americans have foreign war fatigue.”

Zelensky proceeded to question if Castronuova had aimed her question at him and then explained that both sides “need to sit and speak,” and added that there needed to be a “ceasefire.” (Read more from “Zelensky Is Asked About ‘What Specific Concessions’ He Is Willing to Make to End Ukraine-Russia War” HERE)

Israeli Media Poll: Netanyahu’s Approval Ratings at All-Time High Despite Attempts to Block Peace Deal

According to the latest Direct Polls survey, conducted by Shlomo Filber in the wake of the release on Monday of the remaining 20 living hostages held in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approval ratings are at their highest since the elections in Nov. 2022.

The results of the poll were published on Wednesday by Israel’s Channel 14. Where suitability to serve as prime minister is concerned, the poll revealed that 58% of Israelis favor Netanyahu; 22% favor his closest rival, Naftali Bennett; and 11% favor former minister-without-portfolio (and former Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff) Gadi Eizenkot; 4% favor opposition leader and former prime minister Yair Lapid; 4% favor Yisrael Beiteinu Party leader Avigdor Liberman; and 1% favor National Unity Party head Benny Gantz.

The poll also found that if elections were held today, Netanyahu’s ruling coalition would win a 66-seat majority, two more seats than it won in the 2022 elections; opposition parties would garner 43 seats; and the anti-Zionist Arab parties would receive 11 seats. . .

The poll was conducted on Oct. 15, 2025, with 486 participants representing the entire population. Direct Polls was the only polling firm that accurately predicted the results of the 2022 Knesset elections and the 2024 municipal elections.

Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro ‘Doesn’t Want to F–k Around’ With US, Trump Says

President Trump dropped an F-bomb Friday as he explained why Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro appears willing to give the US a stake in the South American nation’s oil and mineral wealth.

“He’s offered everything. You know why? Because he doesn’t want to f–k around with the United States,” Trump said of Maduro, during a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Maduro regime reportedly offered to provide US companies preferential contracts and access to all existing and future oil and gold projects in Venezuela as part of a deal discussed with Trump administration officials, according to the New York Times.

Maduro also pledged to stop selling Venezuelan oil to China and slash energy and mining contracts Venezuela had entered into with Chinese, Iranian and Russian companies, the outlet reported.

The deal fell apart after Trump reportedly ordered special envoy Richard Grenell to end all diplomatic outreach to Venezuela last week, as the US military continues to carry out strikes against drug boats in the Caribbean Sea.

Popular Birth Control Is Linked to Brain Tumors — As Over 1,000 Women Sue Pfizer Over Health Risks

Women who use Depo-Provera face a higher risk of developing a slow-growing brain tumor, according to a new study that comes as the contraceptive’s maker, Pfizer, faces hundreds of lawsuits claiming that it was aware of the potential risks.

Depo-Provera — the brand name for depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) — contains the synthetic progestin hormone, which stops the ovaries from releasing an egg to prevent pregnancy.

The injections, used by roughly 1 in 4 sexually active US women at some point, last about three months.

For the new study, researchers examined over 61 million female patient records, finding that women who used DMPA had a twofold higher risk of getting diagnosed with meningioma compared to women not on hormonal birth control.

Meningioma is typically benign, but the tumors can cause problems by putting pressure on nerves or brain structures. The disease affects women more frequently than men, likely due to the influence of female hormones that can fuel tumor growth.

Fairfax County Schools Double Down After Whistleblower Exposes Secret Student Abortions

Back in August, a Fairfax County, VA teacher blew the whistle on her district helping girls get abortions without parental knowledge or consent.

As Townhall reported at the time, the district denied knowing anything about the abortions until recently, despite the whistleblower teacher making officials aware of them on multiple prior occasions.

Fairfax County Public School teachers have been helping students obtain abortions without the knowledge and consent of their parents, according to a whistleblower who recently exposed the scandal.

Now, the school district is claiming they just learned of the matter, even though the whistleblower, Centrevile High School teacher Zenaida Perez, had brought it to their attention on multiple occasions.

It’s a scandal and possibly criminal.

Now, the Fairfax Schools have published what amounts to a “Mean Girls” style burn book.

Trump Orders Lying Ex-Long Island Rep. George Santos’ Release From Prison

President Trump commuted serial fabulist and former GOP Rep. George Santos’ seven-year prison sentence on Friday, citing “horrible” mistreatment by the Bureau of Prisons and claiming Santos’ unlawful conduct was not nearly as bad as the fibs of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

Santos, 36, sobbed in court during his April 25 sentencing after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He reported to FCI Fairton in Fairfield Township, NJ, on July 25.

He’s since dished to The South Shore Press on the appalling “fluorescent yellow … state-issued polyester” jumpsuits, as well as mold and broken AC units in the prison.

The lying Long Island pol admitted in August 2024 to defrauding donors to his successful 2022 House campaign and using the names of dozens of others — including family and friends — to falsely inflate his number of contributors.

“George Santos was somewhat of a ‘rogue,’ but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” Trump said on Truth Social as he flew from Washington to his Mar-a-Lago resort. “I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard ‘Da Nang Dick’ Blumenthal came up again.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Lying Ex-Long Island Rep.

Democratic Senate Candidate Graham Platner Calls For Violence In Now-Deleted Posts

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner once urged violence as a tool for social change in a now-deleted Reddit post, according to Politico.

Platner, a former Marine and oyster farmer, wrote in 2018 that “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice” and suggested that those who “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle” should “do some reading of history,” the outlet reported.

Platner did not dispute his authorship of the posts but renounced his past rhetoric in a statement to Politico.

“As I told CNN, I was f**king around on the internet at a time when I felt lost and very disillusioned with our government who sent me overseas to watch my friends die,” Platner said. “I made dumb jokes and picked fights. But of course I’m not a socialist. I’m a small business owner, a Marine Corps veteran, and a retired s**tposter.”

Trump Threatens to ‘Go In and Kill’ Hamas if Gaza Executions Continue

By New York Post. President Trump threatened Thursday to “go in and kill” Hamas terrorists if they continue to slaughter suspected adversaries in Gaza following the jihadists’ truce with Israel.

“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” Trump warned in a short Truth Social post.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Disturbing footage emerged on social media this week showing public executions of Palestinians, who were blindfolded and forced to their knees before they were shot from behind by Hamas gunmen.

The terror group claimed the targeted Palestinians were “criminals and collaborators with Israel,” according to the BBC.

Following the breakthrough cease-fire that has stopped – for now – two years of war, Hamas has worked quickly to reassert control of the Gaza Strip. (Read more from “Trump Threatens to ‘Go In and Kill’ Hamas if Gaza Executions Continue” HERE)

Israel blocking Turkish rescue teams from Gaza until Hamas returns hostages’ remains – official

By The Jerusalem Post. Israel will continue refusing to allow a Turkish delegation of 81 rescue personnel and heavy equipment to enter the Gaza Strip until Hamas returns all the remains of deceased hostages that it can, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

“There is a group of hostages’ bodies that Hamas can return right now [and] another group they know the location of, but they need equipment and assistance to retrieve them,” another source said. “And there are some bodies they genuinely do not know where they are.”

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Thursday: “We know for certain that Hamas can easily release a significant number of hostages in accordance with the agreement. What they are doing now is a fundamental violation of that agreement.”

After the meeting, Netanyahu spoke with Trump regarding Hamas’s delayed return of the remaining deceased hostages in Gaza. . .

Mediators have said heavy equipment and experienced rescue teams would be essential to recover the remains. (Read more from “Israel blocking Turkish rescue teams from Gaza until Hamas returns hostages’ remains – official” HERE)

Horror as airports across America and Canada blast pro-Hamas messages over their loudspeakers

By Daily Mail. The public address systems of four airports across the US and Canada were hacked to blast pro-Hamas political messages and disparage President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu.

Videos taken by confused passengers at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania have emerged on social media as the group claiming responsibility for the stunt warned of ‘a second September 11.’

In the footage, a computer-generated sounding voice can be heard chanting ‘Free, free Palestine’ and ‘F**k Netanyahu and Trump.’ The voice can also be heard saying, ‘Turkish hacker Siberislam is here.’ . . .

Similar hacks were reported at three other airports by Transport Canada, the agency that regulates airport operations north of the border. The affected locations were Kelowna International Airport and Victoria International Airport in British Columbia and Windsor International Airport in Ontario.

The hack also impacted flight information displays and plastered pro-Hamas messages across the screens. In red lettering over a black background the text read ‘Isreal lost the war, Hamas won honorably you are a pig, Donald Trump.’ (Read more from “Horror as airports across America and Canada blast pro-Hamas messages over their loudspeakers” HERE)
