Trump And Vance Clash With Zelensky In Fiery White House Meeting

(I've never seen anything like that on TV from the White House that I can remember.)

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Friday during a White House meeting ostensibly devoted to a new mineral deal.
“Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” Vance asked Zelensky. “Right now you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
“You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict,” Vance added, noting that Zelensky was “forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.”
“During war, everybody has problems, even you, but you have a nice ocean and don’t feel now, but you will feel it in the future,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky then invited Vance to visit Ukraine, and Vance accused Zelensky of embarking on propaganda tours.
“You don’t know that,” Trump said, cutting in as Zelensky continued to try to interrupt. “Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel. … You’re in no position to dictate what we are going to feel. We are going to feel very good. … You’re right now not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position and [Vance] happens to be right about it.”
“You don’t have the cards right now,” Trump added. “With us you start having cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country.”
Vance then cut in, asking Zelensky if he had said “thank you” at all during the meeting.
“You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October,” Vance said. “Offer some words of appreciation to the United States of America and the president who is trying to save your country.”

Zelensky responded by accusing Vance of speaking “very loudly,” at which point Trump cut in to defend Vance.
“Your country is in big trouble,” Trump said.
“I know,” said Zelensky.
The two began arguing about the billions of dollars and military equipment the United States provided to Ukraine.
“It’s going to be a very hard thing to do business like this,” Trump said.
Vance then suggested it would have been better to litigate the disagreements in a meeting, rather than in front of reporters.
“I think that it’s good for the American people to see what’s going on. That’s why I kept this going so long,” Trump said. “You have to be thankful, you don’t have the cards.”
“I am very thankful,” Zelensky said.
Trump said that “attitudes have to change” adding that the heated exchange is “great television.”
Zelensky departed without signing the mineral deal.

Democrat Ethics Loudmouth Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse Finds Himself In Corruption Scandal Of His Own

Rhode Island Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is one of those lawmakers like Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who consistently use highfalutin' rhetoric and “dangers to Democracy” statements to act like they’re these great, above-it-all-statesmen—all the while trampling on our actual liberty and undermining our constitutional system.
Schiff, if you’ll recall, promised for years that he had evidence that Donald Trump was involved in Russian collusion, yet he never produced an ounce of said evidence; Schumer, meanwhile, blatantly threatened Supreme Court Justices with violence because he didn’t agree with their rulings.
But now the oh-so-saintly (terribly named) Whitehouse is embroiled in an ethics scandal of his own:
Legal experts are pointing out what they say is hypocrisy as Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., faces an ethics complaint over a potential conflict of interest that resulted in millions of dollars in federal grants for a nonprofit associated with his wife.
"Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who has made his political career accusing others of dark money corruption, appears to be throwing stones in his glass house," said Mike Davis, the former chief counsel for nominations to former Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
"This is the height of hypocrisy," Brett Tolman, former U.S. attorney and executive director of Right On Crime, told Fox News Digital. "Sen Whitehouse is a former US attorney and the self-proclaimed watchdog of dark money."
Oops. Might be time to climb off your high horse, Sheldon.

Whitehouse, it would seem, has been busy funneling money to his wife’s non-profit, and it’s not some unfortunate accident, according to watchdogs:
Whitehouse voted for legislation that ultimately provided millions of dollars in funding for grants to environmental nonprofit group Ocean Conservancy, which works with his wife, Sandra Whitehouse, and pays her through a consulting firm.
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), an ethics watchdog, wrote to Senate Select Committee on Ethics Chair James Lankford, R-Okla., and Vice Chair Chris Coons, D-Del., this week, asking them to investigate Whitehouse "to determine whether he violated the Senate ethics rules on conflicts of interest." The group works primarily to draw attention to potential Democrat lawmaker ethics violations.
"This is not just a careless ethical lapse in judgment," Tolman added. "This is corruption, Washington, D.C., style. This is literally what many public officials have been prosecuted for by DOJ (Department of Justice). I’m aware of multiple cases DOJ is pursuing right now with less egregious facts."
We’ll see where this goes, but for now it certainly seems like there’s smoke that is potentially going to lead to fire. Whitehouse appears to epitomize everything that is wrong with The Swamp, and consequences may soon be forthcoming. I will not shed a tear if and when that happens.

Pentagon Orders Discharge Of Transgenders

The Department of Defense has issued new guidance ordering the military services to begin the process of discharging transgender members of the Armed Forces in 30 days. The new policy recognizes only two sexes; it requires members of the Armed Forces to adhere to the physical fitness and grooming standards of their biological sex. Any attempt at chemically or surgically changing sex makes the person unsuitable for military service. If a person had, at some point, been transgender they can be retained if they "demonstrate “36 consecutive months of stability” in their sex with no “clinically significant distress or impairment” if they can prove they have “never attempted to transition to any sex other than their sex” and if they are willing to adhere to “all applicable standards” relating to their sex."

f. The Department only recognizes two sexes: male and female. An individual's sex is immutable, unchanging during a person's life. All Service members will only serve in accordance with their sex, defined in Executive Order 14168, "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," as "an individual's immutable biological classification as either male or female."
g. Where a standard, requirement, or policy depends on whether the individual is a male or female ( e.g., medical fitness for duty, physical fitness and body fat standards; berthing, bathroom, and shower facilities; and uniform and grooming standards), all persons will be subject to the standard, requirement, or policy associated with their sex.
h. Pronoun usage when referring to Service members must reflect a Service member's sex. In keeping with good order and discipline, salutations ( e.g., addressing a senior officer as "Sir" or "Ma'am") must also reflect an individual's sex.

The memo reiterates an earlier policy that barred transgender individuals from enlisting.
Even though the precursor to this policy is in litigation, it seems unlikely to be successful. Similar legal histrionics followed Trump's ban on transgenders in the military in 2017. That ban was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 2019 decision before Joe Biden reversed the policy in 2021.
The ban on transgenders is long overdue. If a transgender has progressed beyond the point of Klinger-esque crossdressing, they probably are not deployable because of the psychiatric and medical care they need to continue their attempt to transition from something they are into something they aren't. In context, a kid with braces can't enlist. A kid who has taken Adderall or Ritalin in the previous three years can't enlist. And yet we not only enlisted transgenders, we allowed them to have surgery at government expense.
Mirroring the experience of young women in varsity athletics, men "transitioning" to women were bunked with military women.
Finally, the entire project was corrosive of military discipline. Guidance was issued on addressing a 6-2, 220-pound bearded officer wearing a skirt. Anecdotally, the fear of being accused of being a "transphobe" frequently let transgenders exhibit behavior and performance that would get a regular soldier punished.
The new guidance clears the decks, so to speak, for the military to toss aside this modern-day version of Robert S. McNamara's Project 100,000 and get back to the business of training to win wars.

LOOSE LIPS: Inebriated Eric Swalwell

Swalwell (allegedly) discusses Capitol Hill sex parties, Ivanka Trump's looks during lobbyist dinner.
When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) went to the steakhouse at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. Monday night to dine with (alleged) lobbyists he was a little too loose-lipped, and sadly for him conservative journalist Nick Sortor was seated at the table next to him and heard it all. In fact, Sortor says Swalwell "invaded" his table while he was "inebriated at dinner," and promised a video recap.

Sortor says he has audio of the conversation, but he hasn't yet released it. (Presumably, he's getting legal advice before doing so, even though Washington, D.C. is a one-party consent jurisdiction.) He did, however, release a summary of what Swalwell said and a video of him confronting Swalwell as the group exited the restaurant.
Sortor wrote:
EXCLUSIVE: Eric Swalwell PANICS when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang, and whether that’s a bigger “national security threat” than Elon Musk.
I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes. He was IMMEDIATELY compromised by a group of lobbyists he’d JUST MET, spilling intimate details about his job and asking for HELP CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.
MASSIVE national security threat. This guy should have his clearances revoked.
Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about “ORGlES” on Capitol Hill, telling them he’s bored of his wife and “only wants to f*ck tens.”
In replies to the tweet, Sortor alleges that Swalwell claimed he'd cheated on his wife just that week. It's amazing that anyone could eat dinner after hearing such revolting admissions.
At this point, we don't know who Swalwell's dinner companions were, whether they were lobbyists or not, or how long Swalwell's known them. But if he'd just met them that night and was that loose-lipped, well, that's rookie behavior.

You need to go to the link. There’s way too much for me to post here. I’ll keep an eye out for updates.

EXCELLENT point. So lets do away with mail-in voting so Trump can't rig it.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi Announces 29 Wanted Defendants From Mexico Taken Into U.S. Custody

Today, the United States secured custody of 29 defendants from Mexico who are facing charges in districts around the country relating to racketeering, drug-trafficking, murder, illegal use of firearms, money laundering, and other crimes. The defendants taken into U.S. custody today include leaders and managers of drug cartels recently designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists, such as the Sinaloa Cartel, Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), Cártel del Noreste (formerly Los Zetas), La Nueva Familia Michoacana, and Cártel de Golfo (Gulf Cartel).  These defendants are collectively alleged to have been responsible for the importation into the United States of massive quantities of poison, including cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and heroin, as well as associated acts of violence.
“As President Trump has made clear, cartels are terrorist groups, and this Department of Justice is devoted to destroying cartels and transnational gangs,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “We will prosecute these criminals to the fullest extent of the law in honor of the brave law enforcement agents who have dedicated their careers — and in some cases, given their lives — to protect innocent people from the scourge of violent cartels. We will not rest until we secure justice for the American people.”
“The FBI and our partners will scour the ends of the earth to bring terrorists and cartel members to justice,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “The era of harming Americans and walking free is over.”

Don Lemon To Megyn Kelly: ‘Go F*ck Yourself, Racist’

(My opinion, whatever it’s worth, is that Lemon has found him/it self so damn irrelevant that he has to result to being an extreme freak, once again, to try and grab some attention in the leftwing mass media sewer.)
(Myself and everyone with a brain laughed our asses off as we watched Joy Reid get fired and cry about it. I’m still getting residual chuckles about it.)

Former CNN personality Don Lemon told conservative political commentator Megyn Kelly to “go f*ck yourself” and called her “racist” in a rant responding to her joyful reaction to the end of Joy Reid’s MSNBC show.
Lemon, who was terminated by CNN in 2023 after 17 years with the far-left network, appeared to take Kelly’s remarks on The ReidOut being canceled after receiving abysmal ratings to heart.
“Joy Reid has viciously mocked the tears of every white person she’s helped cancel over the years for some imaginary racial slight. She’s had zero empathy for anyone. Now she wants us to feel sorry for her. WE DON’T,” Kelly, who parted ways with NBC herself in 2019, wrote on X:

https://x.com/megynkelly/status/1894120519063998544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1894120519063998544%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Ft%2Fassets%2Fhtml%2Ftweet-4.html1894120519063998544

The post that Kelly was responding to featured a clip of Reid tearfully saying her show “had value.”
Lemon bashed Kelly for her reaction on his own show on YouTube, while sipping out of a merchandise mug from the short-lived NBC program, Megyn Kelly TODAY:

(Okay, I TRIED to go listen to that freak show but I could only stomach about 3 minutes and my ears started ringing. Good luck if you want to check it out.)

“So let me just say to Megyn Kelly, in my 30-some years as a journalist and my 50-some years as a person of color, go f*ck yourself,” the leftwing personality fumed.
Okay, I usually don’t like to talk about her, because she’s one of those people — she thrives on it. She has built the second part of whatever, of her career, on being a troll,” Lemon continued, before saying that Kelly is supposed to “support women” instead of going after Reid.
“So this is what Megyn Kelly said about Joy Reid, right? And remember, Joy Reid is a woman. Megyn Kelly’s a woman. She’s supposed to be all about women, and, you know, support women,” Lemon scoffed.
According to the ex-CNN anchor, Kelly has “spent every day proving the point that she is a racist and not very supportive of women” after her departure from NBC.
He went on to state that Kelly, not Reid, was “the worst person on television.”
“When I said Donald Trump, the president of the United States, was racist, it wasn’t my opinion. This isn’t my opinion about Megyn Kelly. The evidence is there,” he added.
