Trump Warns Americans ‘Could’ Become Involved in Ukraine War if It Escalates to ‘World War III’: ‘Strange Things Happen’

President Trump warned Tuesday that Americans “could be” involved in the Russia-Ukraine war if it were to escalate to “World War III.”

“We want to get it over with,” Trump said of the war, in an interview with “The Ingraham Angle” host Laura Ingraham.

Trump, 78, sat down with the Fox News host at the White House hours after a lengthy call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which Putin rejected the president’s proposal of a full, unconditional cease-fire with Ukraine, but agreed to halt attacks on “energy and infrastructure.”

“Right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other and a cease-fire without going a little bit further would have been tough,” Trump told Ingraham.

“Russia has the advantage, as you know they have encircled about 2,500 [Ukrainian] soldiers,” the president claimed. “They’re nicely encircled and that’s not good.” (Read more from “Trump Warns Americans ‘Could’ Become Involved in Ukraine War if It Escalates to ‘World War III’: ‘Strange Things Happen’” HERE)

3 Arrested In Texas For Running Illegal Back-Alley Abortion Ring

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced the arrests of a woman and man for allegedly operating an illegal abortion network.

“Individuals killing unborn babies by performing illegal abortions in Texas will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and I will not rest until justice is served,” Paxton said in a press release. “I will continue to fight to protect life and work to ensure that anyone guilty of violating our state’s pro-life laws is held accountable.”

On March 17 Paxton announced the arrest of 48-year-old Maria Margarita Rojas — known as “Dr. Maria” — for “providing illegal abortions and illegally operating a network of clinics” near northwest Houston. The next day, he announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jose Manuel Cendan Ley for “the unlawful performance of an abortion and the unlicensed practice of medicine.” Rojas also faces charges for “practicing medicine without a license.”

The attorney general’s Healthcare Program Enforcement Division also “filed for a temporary restraining order to shut down Rojas’s network of clinics to prevent further illegal activity,” according to the release.

Murdering an unborn child through abortion is a second-degree felony in Texas. Rojas faces two charges for “prohibited dismemberment abortion” and two charges for “practicing medicine in violation of subtitle,” according to the Waller County Sheriff’s Office. Her bond was set at $500,000 for each abortion charge and $200,000 for each unlicensed practice charge. (Read more from “3 Arrested In Texas For Running Illegal Back-Alley Abortion Ring” HERE)

Veterans Affairs Ends Distribution Of Taxpayer-Funded Chemical Castration Drugs

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plans to “phase out” the distribution of chemical castration drugs to trans-identifying veterans, the agency announced on Monday.

“All eligible Veterans – including trans-identified Veterans – will always be welcome at VA and will always receive the benefits and services they’ve earned under the law. But if Veterans want to attempt to change their sex, they can do so on their own dime,” VA Secretary Doug Collins said in a statement.

According to an agency press release, VA will no longer offer so-called “cross-sex hormone therapy” to retired service members “who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria.” Eligible members who “are already receiving such care from VA” or “were receiving such care from the military as part of and upon their separation from military service and they are eligible for VA health care” are exempt from the directive.

VA disclosed that veterans who fail to meet such criteria “are not eligible for cross-sex hormone therapy through VA health care,” and that the agency “will not provide any other medical or surgical therapy for gender dysphoria to any patients in any circumstance.” “Any and all savings” garnered from the VA’s cessation of the aforementioned services will be “redirected” toward “severely injured VA beneficiaries.”

“VA has not kept consistent and reliable records regarding the total number of Veterans who endured these procedures, the total amount of money spent on them or the total number of employees involved,” the department said. “Veterans Health Administration estimates indicate that less than one tenth of one percent of the 9.1 million Veterans enrolled in VA health care are trans-identified.” (Read more from “Veterans Affairs Ends Distribution Of Taxpayer-Funded Chemical Castration Drugs” HERE)

Actor Claims ‘Trump Is Attacking the U.S. More Effectively’ Than 9/11 Terrorists Ever Could

Hollywood actor Jon Cryer, of Two and a Half Men and Supergirl fame, took to social media site Blue Sky on Tuesday morning to accuse President Donald Trump of committing terrorism in his daily efforts to drain the swamp in Washington, DC.

Cryer, who has previously referred to himself as “somewhat stupidly woke,” attacked Trump using the labored equivalence of Al Qaeda, writing: “Donald Trump is attacking the United States more effectively than Al Quaeda ever could.”

Trump on Putin Call: We Agreed to ‘Immediate’ Energy, Infrastructure Ceasefire; ‘Many Elements’ of Possible Peace Deal Discussed

President Donald Trump said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to an immediate ceasefire on infrastructure and energy in the Ukraine War.

Trump took to Truth Social to relay that his and Putin’s conversation, which lasted more than two hours, “was a very good and productive one.”

“We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine,” he wrote.

The Kremlin said Putin had “responded positively” to the proposal of a 30-day energy infrastructure ceasefire “and immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding order,” according to a translation.

Negotiations around a Black Sea maritime ceasefire and a full ceasefire are set to begin immediately in the Middle East, as noted in a statement by the White House.

Judge Who Tried to Block Trump Migrant Deportations Spared Russiagate Lawyer (and was a Member of Skull and Bones While at Yale)

By The Telegraph. The judge who tried to block Donald Trump’s deportation of 200 alleged Venezuelan gangsters previously spared a Russiagate lawyer from jail.

Judge James Boasberg spared Kevin Clinesmith, the former FBI lawyer, from prison after he was convicted of forgery during the federal investigation of Russian interference into the 2016 election.

Clinesmith pleaded guilty to a felony in August 2020, admitting to doctoring an email that served as support for a Russiagate wiretap of Carter Page, a former campaign official for Mr Trump. . .

However, Judge Boasberg sided with Clinesmith’s attorney, who argued that probation would be more appropriate as Clinesmith said he was not motivated by political bias.

Appearing sympathetic to the cost the lawyer had paid by “standing in the eye of a media hurricane,” he instead ordered him to work 400 hours of community service and 12 months probation. (Read more from “Judge Who Tried to Block Trump Migrant Deportations Spared Russiagate Lawyer” HERE)

Federal Judge Appoints Himself President [Satire]

By The Babylon Bee. The Trump Administration agenda was stopped in its tracks this week after a federal judge appointed himself the new President of the United States.

“There’s nothing we can do,” said legal experts. “He’s a federal judge.”

Sources confirmed that Judge Mortimer Dithers of the Northern District of California granted himself all the powers of the executive branch in an emergency move to stop Trump. “Last night, the Constitution appeared to me in a dream and told me to do this,” said Judge Dithers. “You can’t argue with that. Also, my word on this is law because I’m a federal judge.”

President Judge Dithers has already issued several executive actions, including orders for Tesla to stop making cars, Elon Musk to punch himself in the face, and Trump to not move his head next time someone shoots at him. “This is the bidding of your new leader,” said Judge Dithers. “So let it be done, by the order of your new Federal Judge President.”

Trump later responded to the ruling on Truth Social by accusing the judge of “looking like a potato.” (Read more from “Judge Who Tried to Block Trump Migrant Deportations Spared Russiagate Lawyer” HERE)

Buried Fortune: U.S. Finds $8.4 Billion in Rare Earths Sitting in Coal Ash Landfills

For years, the United States has depended on imports of rare earth elements, the critical materials found in everything from smartphones to renewable energy technologies.

But in a surprising twist, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have discovered that a massive domestic supply has been sitting right under our noses all along.

Trapped within the country’s coal ash deposits lies a staggering $8.4 billion worth of these essential elements, a finding that could significantly reduce dependence on imports and reshape America’s approach to sourcing critical minerals. . .

The study estimates that U.S. coal ash contains 11 million tons of rare earth elements.

That’s nearly eight times the country’s known domestic reserves.

This is the first national assessment of coal ash as a resource, presenting a new way to strengthen America’s supply of critical minerals. (Read more from “Buried Fortune: U.S. Finds $8.4 Billion in Rare Earths Sitting in Coal Ash Landfills” HERE)

University Professor Deported To Lebanon After Attending Funeral Of Hezbollah Leader

Rasha Alawieh, an assistant professor at Brown University’s medical school, was deported to Lebanon after attending the funeral of former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Alawieh, 34, admitted both her support of Nasrallah and her attendance at the February funeral to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers.

“A visa is a privilege not a right—glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied,” DHS posted on X. “This is commonsense security.”

DHS pointed out that Nasrallah — who was killed by an Israeli air strike in July — was a “brutal terrorist” who was “responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade terror spree.”

Alawieh, a Lebanese citizen and doctor, was on a H-1B visa, which is given to foreign workers working in “specialty occupations.” Her visa was issued on March 11, a few days prior to her arrival, according to a federal complaint filed.

A Cheap Daily Supplement Appears to Boost Brain Function in Older People

What’s good for your aging gut may also be good for your aging brain. The first study of its kind in twins found that taking daily protein and prebiotic supplements can improve scores on memory tests in people over the age of 60.

The findings, published last year, are food for thought, especially as the same visual memory and learning test is used to detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

The double-blinded trial involved two cheap plant fiber prebiotics that are available over the counter in numerous nations around the world. Prebiotics are non-digestible consumables that help stimulate our gut microbes.

One is called inulin, and it is a dietary fiber in the class fructan. Another is called fructooligosaccharide (FOS), and it is a plant carbohydrate often used as a natural low calorie sweetener.

To test the effect of these supplements on the aging brain, researchers at King’s College London enrolled 36 pairs of twins over the age of 60. (Read more from “A Cheap Daily Supplement Appears to Boost Brain Function in Older People” HERE)

Trump Releasing ‘All’ JFK Files Tomorrow: ‘I Don’t Believe We’re Going To Redact Anything’

President Donald Trump said while touring the Kennedy Center on Monday that he is releasing all of the files related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy this week and that they will likely not be redacted.

Trump told reporters that the release will happen Tuesday afternoon and will include approximately 80,000 documents.

“While we’re here, I thought it would be appropriate, we are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files,” Trump said. “So people have been waiting for decades for this, and I’ve instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people, put together by Tulsi Gabbard, and that’s going to be released tomorrow.”

“We have a tremendous amount of paper. You’ve got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything. I said, just don’t redact. You can’t redact,” he continued. “But we’re going to be releasing the JFK files, and that would be tomorrow.”

Trump suggested that he has not personally seen all the documents, but he has heard about them.
