Top Zelensky Adviser Pushed for Oval Office Mineral Deal Signing — Against Trump Envoy Kellogg’s Advice

President Trump’s special envoy to the Ukraine War urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to sign the now-deferred mineral rights deal with Washington during the envoy’s visit to Kyiv last week, but Zelensky’s chief of staff insisted on the Friday Oval Office signing that went badly awry, a senior US official involved with the talks told The Post.

After three days of intense negotiations, retired Gen. Keith Kellogg secured the long-sought agreement with Ukraine that would have provided Washington with 50% of all future proceeds from the European country’s lucrative critical and rare-earth minerals.

“Kellogg and Zelensky had agreed to a deal with one item still to be finalized,” the US official said of the talks that concluded Feb. 21.

As negotiations wrapped up, Zelensky chief of staff Andrii Yermak pushed for the Ukrainian president to join Trump at the White House to sign the agreement.

Kellogg “advised against it, knowing that the relationship [between the presidents] needed to be strengthened” before meeting in-person, according to the official. (Read more from “Top Zelensky Adviser Pushed for Oval Office Mineral Deal Signing — Against Trump Envoy Kellogg’s Advice” HERE)

Illegal Alien Allegedly Murders Two Elderly Gay Men After Escaping ICE Deportation Order

An illegal alien has been charged in the murders of two elderly gay men after he escaped authorities who were trying to deport him for burglary.

Twenty-five-year-old Zsolt Zsolyomi allegedly confessed to the separate murders of two disabled males and has been charged with second-degree murder in each case.

Zsolyomi’s alleged crime spree began when he overstayed his visa and then was arrested for robbery in 2024. He told police his name was “Thomas Kray” at the time and was released from custody in July.

A deportation order was issued for the man after Immigration and Customs Enforcement realized he had overstayed his visa by more than two years. He was arrested in September and released with an ankle bracelet through the Alternatives Detention Program. He was apparently able to disable the ankle bracelet and elude authorities.

Then in November, police found 66-year-old Carlos Alonso Villaquiran face down in the water of his bathtub of his Miami Beach apartment. The amputee had died of strangulation, and surveillance cameras captured the image of a man who had entered into the apartment a day earlier.

Trump Kicks Out Zelensky, White House Staff Eats His Lunch

White House staff are reportedly eating Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky’s lunch after President Donald Trump ousted him from the premises.

According to reports, Trump did, indeed, kick Zelensky out after a contentious exchange witnessed by the press and American people. In other words, the Ukrainian leader did not leave on his own accord. Further, according to Fox News’s Jacqui Heinrich, White House staffers will be eating the lunch set for Zelensky.

“WHEN I WENT TO UPPER PRESS TO ASK WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE LUNCH THAT TRUMP AND ZELENSKYY WERE SUPPOSED TO DINE ON AND TALK OVER WAS SITTING IN THE HALLWAY. I’M TOLD WHITE HOUSE PRESS OFFICE STAFFERS WILL BE EATING IT,” she wrote in the update.

Things went awry in the Oval Office after Zelensky became agitated and irritated, prompting Vice President JD Vance to call him out for being disrespectful and unappreciative of the American people and Trump administration.

Patel’s FBI Could Shine Light on Nashville Trans School Shooter’s Manifesto

For those who believe politically weaponized justice is injustice, Pam Bondi running the Department of Justice and Kash Patel at the helm of the FBI feels like a warm spring breeze after a brutally cold winter. For those who turned federal law enforcement into the Stasi and cheered on the myriad abuses (I’m looking at you Schiff, you weasel), things are about to get, well, difficult.

There’s much to look forward to in the reckoning that Trump 2.0 is bringing to the people who transformed America’s DOJ into a banana republic. It’s long past time for accountability and, hopefully, justice served to the wicked.

Transparency is absolutely essential in that pursuit. Patel could go a long way on that front by lifting the Biden-era FBI shroud over the records from some of the most egregious crimes committed and covered up in the name of identity politics. In particular, America could use much more light on the dark minds of gender-bending killers.

Case in point, Audrey Hale, the 28-year-old woman masquerading as a man who nearly two years ago stormed into a Nashville Christian school and gunned down three children and three adult staff members. The FBI and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department have refused to turn over Hale’s manifesto, absurdly claiming that doing so could harm their “ongoing investigation.” Police responding to the Covenant School attack on March 27, 2023 fatally shot the killer. Police have said there are no other suspects. There is nothing more to investigate.

So why the holdup? Why have law enforcement in leftist-led Nashville and at the Biden administration Department of Justice fought multiple attempts — including several open records lawsuits — to release the documents?

FBI Withheld ‘Thousands of Pages’ of Jeffrey Epstein Docs, Pam Bondi Says — And She’s Demanding They Be Turned Over

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 additional documents were not included.

“By 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 28, the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained,” Bondi said.

JD Vance Tangles With British PM Starmer Over ‘Infringements on Free Speech’ in Contentious Oval Office Meeting (VIDEO)

The “special relationship” between the US and the UK got awkward Thursday, when Vice President JD Vance confronted British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the Oval Office over the longtime American ally’s weakening of freedom of speech.

Earlier this month, at the Munich Security Conference, Vance had riled European opinion by decrying what he called “the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values—values shared with the United States of America.”

Vance stood by his comments Thursday when pressed by a reporter, saying: “I said what I said, which is that we do have, of course, a special relationship with our friends in the UK and also with some of our European allies.

“But we also know that there have been infringements on free speech that actually affect not just the British, of course, what the British do in their own country is up to them,” the 40-year-old added, “but also affect American technology companies and, by extension, American citizens. So that is something that we’ll talk about today at lunch.” . . .

In Munich, Vance had rattled off examples of criminal convictions in Europe for what would be protected First Amendment activity in America, including the case of 51-year-old British Army veteran and physiotherapist Adam Smith-Connor, who was ordered to pay £9,000 ($11,346) for violating a buffer zone while praying outside of an abortion clinic.

Trump Hits Socialist Dictator With Consequences for Not Holding His End of the Bargain

President Donald Trump says he is reversing a Biden-era grant allowing Chevron to operate within Venezuela on Wednesday.

Trump detailed the decision in a lengthy post on Truth Social, stating that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had not upheld his end of the bargain.

“We are hereby reversing the concessions that Crooked Joe Biden gave to Nicolás Maduro, of Venezuela, on the oil transaction agreement, dated November 26, 2022, and also having to do with Electoral conditions within Venezuela, which have not been met by the Maduro regime,” Trump wrote.

“Additionally, the regime has not been transporting the violent criminals that they sent into our Country (the Good Ole’ U.S.A.) back to Venezuela at the rapid pace that they had agreed to,” he added.

“I am therefore ordering that the ineffective and unmet Biden “Concession Agreement” be terminated as of the March 1st option to renew. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump continued.

Even After LA Mayor Terminated Top Fire Lesbian, City Still Places DEI Above Competence

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass fired Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley — one of the city’s “top fire lesbians” who pushed DEI across the department — Feb. 21, citing “public safety” and blaming her for the disastrous response to the massive Palisades and Eaton fires that consumed parts of the city last month.

But the city’s priorities are still misplaced, according to documents a whistleblower provided to The Federalist. LAFD EMTs are required to take training to meet the requirements for renewing certification, some of which still advances radical gender ideology. And Crowley is still with the department, just in a lower rank. So perhaps Bass’ lip service to “public safety” is less about accountability for the deadly fires, and more about escaping it. . .

A member of the LAFD provided screenshots from the internal training to The Federalist, but chose to remain unnamed to avoid retribution. The training — “EMS Patients With Special Challenges” — counts for one hour of credit toward the total certification renewal requirement that EMTs must meet every two years. It instructs EMTs on how to deal with “transgender patients.”

The training discusses “medical advances” in the “gender reassignment process,” including “puberty suppression,” “hormone therapy,” and “medically indicated surgery.” It also instructs EMTs on transgender “accommodations”: they must “ask the patient what they prefer to be called,” “try to use inclusive terms, such as ‘they,’” and “try to avoid gender-specific pronouns” like he or she, or titles like sir or ma’am.

The training also made EMTs guess which statement was true about treating transgenders: “transgender patients always behave erratically,” “transgender patients usually abuse alcohol or drugs,” “transgender patients are prone to the same physical conditions as any other patient,” or “you should ask your partner to care for the patient if you disagree with their lifestyle.” (Read more from “Even After LA Mayor Terminated Top Fire Lesbian, City Still Places DEI Above Competence” HERE)

New Jeffrey Epstein Contact List Includes Alec Baldwin, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and RFK Jr.’s Mom

The Justice Department on Thursday evening released a long-awaited trove of documents related to notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, including his contact list, flight logs and a list of evidence the government amassed against him.

But the roughly 200-page document dump provided no big revelations, instead listing celebrities and politicians who were already known to have palled around with the notorious pedophile.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has since claimed a witness told her that the FBI Field Office in New York has demanded the bureau fork over that material so that she can disclose it to the public.

Among the famous names in Epstein’s contact list released by the Department of Justice Thursday: Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, actor Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy — the mother of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, supermodel Naomi Campbell and rocker Courtney Love.

Others include: Bob Weinstein, the brother of Harvey Weinstein; David Koch; late Sen. Ted Kennedy; actor Ralph Fiennes; Kerry Kennedy; lawyer Alan Dershowitz; John Kerry; actor Dustin Hoffman; businessman Jon Huntsman; Ivana Trump, Ivanka Trump; and model Liz Hurley. The president’s name was not in the contact list. (Read more from “New Jeffrey Epstein Contact List Includes Alec Baldwin, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and RFK Jr.’s Mom” HERE)

Trump Adviser Expects Prosecutions Will Come Because of Epstein Files

“Phase One” of the Epstein files are being released today but America still apparently won’t have much of the story of the convicted sex offender whose friends included Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, among many others.

That’s because Attorney General Pam Bondi, who released that “Phase One” to reporters on today, confirmed to FBI chief Kash Patel that minions in that agency still are withholding documents from her.

The ongoing process to unveil the evil that was behind Epstein and his circle of friends and their behavior toward young girls that Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of trafficking, however, has convinced an adviser to President Trump that more prosecutions are coming.

Habba, an adviser to President Trump, was asked if there would be criminal cases coming.

“Absolutely. I think it would be negligent for us not to. You have to hold individuals who are indeed rapists accountable. We have to have them tried, in my opinion.” (Read more from “Trump Adviser Expects Prosecutions Will Come Because of Epstein Files” HERE)
