Zelensky Says U.S. Pushing for End to Ukraine War by June

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States wants Ukraine and Russia to end their nearly four-year war by June, and has offered to host talks between the two sides in Florida next week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

US-led efforts to end Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II have stepped up a gear in recent weeks, but Moscow and Kyiv remain at odds over the key issue of territory.

Russia, which occupies around 20 percent of its neighbour, is pushing for full control of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region as part of any deal and has threatened to take it by force if talks fail.

But Ukraine says ceding ground will embolden Moscow and so it will not sign an agreement that fails to deter Russia from invading again.

“The United States has proposed for the first time that the two negotiating teams — Ukraine and Russia — meet in the United States, probably in Miami, in a week’s time,” Zelensky told reporters in comments made public early Saturday.

Newly Released Epstein Files Reveal Further Ties to Israel

/15 Comments/in , , /by

By Michael Arria. The release of more than 3 million new files connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein reveals further connections between the convicted sex criminal and the state of Israel.

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, is mentioned numerous times in the files, with him and his wife seemingly maintaining a close relationship with the financier long after he plead guilty of sex crimes in 2008.

In a September 2016 email sent amid the presidential race, Barak informs Epstein that Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton was set to be interviewed by Israel’s Channel-2 and wonders if Epstein could inquire whether eventual President Donald Trump would have interest in being interviewed by rival station, Channel-10.

Barak tells Epstein that the Trump interview would attract a “huge percentage of Israelis and most U.S. citizens in Israel.”

The Department of Justice also released audio of a February 2013 conversation between the two men, in which Epstein tells Barak to “check out” the controversial analytics company Palantir.

Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show

By The Palestine Chronicle. The Epstein files deepen scrutiny of his long-standing ties to Israeli political power, particularly through repeated contact with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Allegations of Israeli intelligence links appear in declassified FBI records, showing such claims were treated as a formal counter-intelligence concern, not fringe speculation.

Epstein retained elite access and protection long after his 2008 conviction, raising unresolved questions about impunity and institutional shielding.

Israel emerges in the files as a strategic node in Epstein’s global influence network, connecting US politics, Gulf elites, and international diplomacy.

Survivors say the document release still prioritizes power over accountability, exposing victims while leaving many enablers unnamed or legally untouched. (Read more from “Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump referred to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as a “moron” at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday.

“He’s an automatic no. No matter what,” Trump said, referencing Massie’s opposition to past legislation pushed by the president and other Republicans.

“If we did welfare reform, if we did the greatest thing in the history for religion, no matter what we did, no matter how good it is,” he continued. “No matter what we do, this moron, no matter what it is.”

“We’ll put [the top five things] in one bill,” he said. “We’ll get a 100 percent vote, except for this guy named Thomas Massie. There’s something wrong with him. We call him Rand Paul Jr.”

GOP Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) also frequently opposes legislation bolstered by Republicans. (Read more from “Trump Goes After ‘Moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Attacks James Comer Over Epstein Hearing: ‘If You Want this Fight, Let’s Have It — In Public’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hillary Clinton attacked House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday as she pushed for a public hearing after she and her husband agreed to testify before the committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “If you want this fight,” she told Comer, “Let’s have it — in public.”

Former President Bill Clinton and his wife are set to testify on their relationship with the disgraced financier before the House Oversight Committee later this month. The plan was put in place after Comer rejected requests for a closed-door deposition and written testimony.

On Thursday, the former Secretary of State accused Comer of “moving the goalposts,” suggesting the committee chairman made a last-minute decision to have the couple’s depositions be video recorded.

“For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction,” Hillary Clinton wrote in a Thursday X post.

In a follow-up post, the twice-failed presidential candidate challenged Comer to a “public” fight.

Israel Accepts Health Authorities’ Gaza Death Toll Is Broadly Accurate, Saying 70,000 Have Died

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel’s military has accepted the death toll compiled by health authorities in Gaza is broadly accurate, marking a U-turn after years of official attacks on the data.

A senior security official briefed Israeli journalists, saying about 70,000 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks on the territory since October 2023, excluding those missing.

It is the first time Israel has publicly estimated the toll from the war in Gaza. Previously the government and military had only provided figures for militants Israel claimed to have killed.

Gaza health authorities said the direct toll from Israeli attacks had exceeded 71,660 people, with at least 10,000 presumed buried in the rubble of bombed buildings.

For more than two years, Israeli officials and media had attacked the Palestinian figures as “Hamas propaganda” and dismissed them as “not accurate”. (Read more from “Israel Accepts Health Authorities’ Gaza Death Toll Is Broadly Accurate, Saying 70,000 Have Died” HERE)

Epstein Document Dump Rattles Silicon Valley

/0 Comments/in , /by

The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files from the Justice Department indicates that the late sex offender maintained wider and deeper connections in the tech industry than was previously known. The revelations are now causing fractures in the usually clubby world of Silicon Valley.

Emails and other documents show that Epstein was in contact with at least 20 prominent tech executives, investors and researchers, including some current CEOs, according to an NBC News review of a portion of the documents. In emails, they discussed a wide array of subjects, such as startup investments, the prospects of bitcoin, social gatherings, helicopter rentals and, in one case, negotiations over a corporate exit package.

Two tech billionaires, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, have been locked in a social media struggle for days since the documents were released, trading public insults on X as they have accused each other of having exercised poor judgment in connection with Epstein. Both men were already known associates of Epstein, and the documents released Friday included further details about their connections. Authorities have not accused either of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

On Tuesday night, Hoffman and Musk were still battling online. After Hoffman called for justice for Epstein’s victims, Musk taunted him, “While you’re at it, maybe you can help OJ ‘find the real killer,’” a reference to O.J. Simpson.

Hoffman jabbed back at Musk by posting a screenshot of an email in which Musk asked Epstein in 2012, “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” (Read more from “Epstein Document Dump Rattles Silicon Valley” HERE)

‘It Would Solve the Mystery’: Mike Benz Flags ‘Bombshell’ Detail in Latest Epstein Files Dump

/15 Comments/in , , /by

Former State Department official Mike Benz called the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) response to Jeffrey Epstein’s 2011 FOIA request a “bombshell” during a Tuesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” . . .

“Jeffrey Epstein was not a public figure at all in 1999. He didn’t come into public awareness, public attention, until 2001, 2002 … he was a private figure in 1999 when he FOIA’d the Central Intelligence Agency for records … anybody who wants to be a hero right now … These are not classified documents,” Benz said. “FOIA responses are not classified. So, anybody right now can FOIA the Central Intelligence Agency for all records and communications related to the CIA’s written communications with Jeffrey Epstein via his lawyer both in 1999 and 2011.”

He then paraphrased the CIA’s 2011 response to Epstein.

“What it says is, ‘We have received your request for your client Jeffrey Epstein’s records search under the Freedom of Information Act. We’ve granted the request to search for all open and acknowledged agency affiliations between Jeffrey Epstein and the CIA,'” he said. “‘We have run that search. And the answer is no documents are responsive to the request.'”

“And then it says in the next paragraph, ‘With respect to your request that touches on classified documents, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of any such documents,'” he continued. “‘So you can consider this a partial denial of your FOIA request.’” (Read more from “‘It Would Solve the Mystery’: Mike Benz Flags ‘Bombshell’ Detail in Latest Epstein Files Dump” HERE)

“Buying and Selling the Bodies and Souls of Men”: US Women Now Using Fat from Dead Humans to “Enhance” Boobs, Butts

/1 Comment/in , , /by

[G]iving new life to the fallen fat is how AlloClae — a glamorous, albeit ghoulish, new advancement in non-surgical cosmetic enhancements — is helping slim centerfolds in NYC and beyond achieve the BBLs and boob jobs of their wildest dreams.

And it’s different from all the other nonsurgical enlargements on the market because, well, it’s reliant on people who’ve kicked the bucket.

If you’re suddenly worried that ticking the organ donor box on your driver’s license could mean you wind up on someone else’s behind in the afterlife, it’s not that simple — the fat can come from full body donations, which are handled in the Empire State by the Associated Medical Schools of New York, which requires a separate, no limitations sign-up. . . 

AlloClae, from Tiger Aesthetics, a tissue engineering company, is the “first structural adipose tissue designed for aesthetic body procedures, providing cushioning, volume and support,” according to its website. . .

The company does not specify where exactly the fat they use comes from. Representatives for Tiger Aesthetics did not immediately respond to The Post’s inquiries about the production, cadaver screening process or the rising popularity of AlloClae, which hit the market in 2025.

Report: Trump to Erect Christopher Columbus Statue Outside White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is planning to install a statue of Christopher Columbus on the south side of the White House, sources told the Washington Post on Wednesday.

The statue will reportedly be a reconstruction of a statue unveiled by former President Ronald Reagan in Baltimore, Maryland, that had been dumped into the city’s harbor by Black Lives Matter rioters in 2020, according to the Post. Bill Martin, an Italian American businessman who helped recover and rebuild the original statue, said the sculpture is expected to be transferred from a Maryland warehouse to the White House in the coming weeks.

The White House said that Trump will continue to honor Columbus, emphasizing that the explorer is a hero.

“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said. “And he will continue to be honored as such by President Trump.”

Trump has expressed staunch support for Columbus, in part by reinstating Columbus Day in honor of Italian Americans. In October, he signed a proclamation to commemorate Columbus’ life with “reverence and gratitude.” (Read more from “Report: Trump to Erect Christopher Columbus Statue Outside White House” HERE)
