In Oval Office Temper Tantrum, Zelensky Blows Up Peace Talks

THE WHITE HOUSE — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tanked his own peace talks on Friday afternoon after he disrespected the American people in an Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump.

After the meeting, which saw Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance disabuse Zelensky of the notion that he was in any position to make a power play for more money and military aid, Trump announced, “I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.”

“I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE,” Trump continued. “He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for peace.”

The unraveling of peace negotiations between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, brokered by Trump, came after Zelensky attempted to come into the Oval Office with a strong-man attitude and what appeared to be zero gratitude for the American people and their billions being spent on the war.

After Zelensky essentially blamed the American government from 2014 onward for Russian advances, he expressed skepticism of the use of diplomacy in ending the war, asking Trump and Vance, “What kind of diplomacy?”

“I’m talking about the kind of diplomacy that’s going to end the destruction of your country, Mr. President [Zelensky],” Vance told him.

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.

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)

Another One: Flight Aborts Landing at D.C. Airport to Avoid Departing Plane

An American Airlines flight from Boston aborted its landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC, Tuesday to avoid a plane departing from the same runway.

“An air traffic controller instructed American Flight 2246 to perform a go-around at Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) Airport to ensure separation was maintained between this aircraft and a preceding departure from the same runway,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.

American Airlines said the flight landed “safely and normally” and described the move as standard operation to give the plane more time for the other plane to take off.

“American has a no-fault go-around policy as a go-around is not an abnormal flight maneuver and can occur nearly every day in the National Airspace System,” the airline said in its statement.

“It’s a tool in both the pilot’s and air traffic controller’s toolbox to help maintain safe and efficient flight operations, and any assertion that flight 2246’s canceled approach was more than that is inaccurate,” the airline continued.

Trump Hits Jack Smith’s Lawyers With Bombshell Executive Order

President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting the law firm representing former special counsel Jack Smith.

Covington & Burling LLP currently represents Smith in a personal capacity and previously provided pro bono legal services to the special counsel’s office, according to White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf.

The new executive order suspends the security clearance held by Smith’s attorney Peter Koski, along with those of any other attorneys at the firm who assisted Smith as special counsel, pending a review of their roles, if any, in the “weaponization of the judicial process.”

It also directs the Office of Management and Budget to “terminate any engagement” with the firm.

“We’re going to call it the deranged Jack Smith signing or bill,” Trump told reporters before the signing, according to CNN. Afterward, he handed the pen he’d used to an attendee and said, “Why don’t you give it to Jack Smith?” (Read more from “Trump Hits Jack Smith’s Lawyers With Bombshell Executive Order” HERE)

Fired CBS News Reporter Reveals Photos of Files on Hunter Biden, COVID Origins Seized by Network: ‘Attack on Investigative Journalism’

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge posted photos of the confidential files seized by the network — which “included sensitive reporting about COVID-19 origins and Hunter Biden.”

The award-winning investigative journalist — who was dismissed last February as part of wider layoffs by embattled parent company Parent Global — stirred a firestorm in her bid to regain the materials before the network gave back the items weeks later.

“Exactly one year ago, @CBSNews returned my investigative reporting files,” Herridge wrote on X on Wednesday.

“Today, I am releasing photos of the records for the first time so you can see the sheer volume involved.”

One photo showed stacks of folders next to a Home Depot-labeled box.

Herridge wrote that the material encompassed four large moving boxes weighing over 100 pounds in total that were seized by the network. (Read more from “Fired CBS News Reporter Reveals Photos of Files on Hunter Biden, COVID Origins Seized by Network: ‘Attack on Investigative Journalism’” HERE)

USAID In Egypt Had Me Detained For Walking In And Asking If It’s Following Trump’s Orders

For some years now, I have been tracking globalist initiatives at both ends: at the point where the ideological rounds are chambered and downrange where they affect the lives of millions as public policies. This has taken me from places like Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum meets annually, to cartel towns in Colombia where illegal aliens board Zodiacs bound for the Darién Gap and thousands of them simply disappear.

I’ve also been tracking how USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, via a series of NGOs, has been running what amounts to a massive human trafficking operation across South America, through Central America, and straight up through our borders. President Trump is working to hold accountable those responsible, but there is so much more to the global workings of this clandestine government agency.

I recently traveled from Davos to the ancient city on the Nile. With USAID’s nefarious activities dominating the news, I decided to visit its Cairo office to see how it was responding to Trump’s recent order slashing USAID activities.

To call USAID Egypt an office is misleading. It is a military-style compound.

My Egyptian driver, Mohamed, and I approached the boom gate where security guards stood in a small guardhouse of the type you see all over the world. They raised the gate arm and waved us through. (I’ve found that the key to entering government buildings, much like the World Economic Forum, is simply to walk in as if I own the place. More often than you might think, security just steps aside.)

Plot Thickens After Dan Crenshaw Makes Not One, but Two Death Threats Against Tucker Carlson

By Revolver News. By now, most have likely heard of Dan Crenshaw. The Texas representative is back on the warpath. For those who haven’t caught his latest unhinged, violent rant, it’s a real doozy—and sadly, this behavior is right on brand for this angry, out-of-control congressman.

However, this time, Crenshaw didn’t just cross a line—he bulldozed right over it, and this was so bad, he may never recover. But before we dive into that, it’s important to note—this story isn’t just about angry, unhinged Dan Crenshaw lashing out yet again. There’s a strange twist, and now, all eyes are on GB News, with many questioning whether the network is running some serious cover for Crenshaw and if so, why?

The whole saga began during an interview with GB News, a British network. When the official interview wrapped up, the cameras kept rolling—capturing Crenshaw admitting, not once, but twice, that if he ever met Tucker Carlson in person, he would “kill” him.

Here’s the GB News interview that aired—where Crenshaw’s obsession with all things Tucker was on full display.

After the interview, reporter Steve Edginton took to X and exposed Crenshaw’s death threats toward Tucker Carlson. Here’s his post:

Rep. Dan Crenshaw Appears to Say He’d ‘Kill’ Tucker Carlson in Hot Mic Moment With British Journalist

By Houston Chronicle. U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw appeared to say he’d “kill” political commentator Tucker Carlson in a hot mic moment with a British journalist.

Following an interview with GB News, journalist Steven Edginton asked Crenshaw, a Republican who has represented Texas in the House of Representatives since 2019, if he’s ever met Carlson.

“We’ve talked a lot on Twitter,” Crenshaw responded. “If I ever meet him, I’ll f— kill him.” (Read more from “Rep. Dan Crenshaw Appears to Say He’d ‘Kill’ Tucker Carlson in Hot Mic Moment With British Journalist” HERE)

CNN: Deep State Bureaucrats Threaten To Sell State Secrets If Trump Isn’t Nice To Them

Brace yourself as the propaganda press tries to stop President Donald Trump from culling corruption from the deep state. Expect “news” stories screaming about ordinary budget and staff cuts that would happen in any bloated private business but under Trump will be described as unfair or even dangerous.

Take, for example, the Feb. 24 number from CNN, “How Trump’s government-cutting moves risk exposing the CIA’s secrets.” The short report required four CNN writers, Katie Bo Lillis (who was involved in a story that led to a defamation trial in which a jury found that CNN was literally fake news), Phil Mattingly, Natasha Bertrand, and Zachary Cohen.

Exposing CIA secrets? That sounds pretty dangerous. Just how much danger are we in?

In the piece, CNN warned, “As the CIA weighs staff cuts, current and former intelligence officials say that mass firings could offer a rich recruitment opportunity for foreign intelligence services — like China or Russia — who may seek to exploit financially vulnerable or resentful former employees.”

The piece goes on.

“… on the CIA’s 7th floor — home to top leadership — some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.” (So “quietly,” apparently, that CNN could hear them, as Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway pointed out.)

Kristi Noem Says DHS Found ‘Leakers,’ Details How Agency Caught ‘Sell-Out’ Bureaucrats

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday evening on Fox News that her agency has identified some of the “leakers” responsible for releasing internal information.

On Feb. 10, Noem suggested that “corrupt” FBI agents were behind a leaked memo about an upcoming “large-scale” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in the Los Angeles area, which was obtained by the Los Angeles Times. With border czar Tom Homan echoing the secretary’s suspicions a day later, Noem said on “Hannity” that “some” of the internal leakers had been caught, but she did not specify which agency they belonged to or how many there were.

“I have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences. And, remember, when they leak information to the press in order to blow an op, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” Noem said. “They are risking their lives and putting their families in the position where they have to live without those individuals any further.”

“We have used every tactic that we have. If you remember, we talked just last week about how I’m using polygraphs to go after and to really interview these folks because we are a national security agency. I have that tool I can use. Also looking at their emails, looking at their communications,” Noem added. “It’s amazing how these bureaucrats who have an agenda to stop the work that we’re doing to bring safety to America, how they will sell each other down the river if it’s just to protect themselves. So don’t worry. I am doing everything to find these leakers and to get rid of them so that we can do our work and our law enforcement officers and agents can do it safely.” (Read more from “Kristi Noem Says DHS Found ‘Leakers,’ Details How Agency Caught ‘Sell-Out’ Bureaucrats” HERE)
