This is Poltava, Ukraine. Zelensky’s special squads rounded up... men on the street like stray dogs and locked them in a cage, after which they will be forcibly sent to the front lines. Yes, you heard that right — not a prison, but an actual cage for captured people. Meaghan Mobbs , what’s your take on this? You never miss a chance to write about Putin (as if anyone in the world doesn’t already know he’s a monster and a tyrant), yet when it comes to Zelensky and Yermak, you only write good things. Do you think this is normal? Does this look like a country of Western civilization and democracy to you? President Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump JD Vance Marco Rubio Steve Witkoffshow more

BREAKING: Hezbollah terrorists are rioting in Beirut after Lebanon... and Israel signed an agreement to engage in direct and formal peace talks for the first time. Over 90% of Shia Muslims in Lebanon support Hezbollah. We’re talking about an entire community of terrorists. No other Muslim group comes close in terms of terrorist affiliation. Even in Gaza, support for Hamas peaked at 70%, and it’s currently around half of that; in Iran, support for the Islamic regime is only 10%. Support for the Taliban in Afghanistan is just 20%. The Shia Muslims in Lebanon are the most terrorist-minded group of Muslims in the world, and have the highest rate of support for a terrorist organization among all Muslims. Their support for Hezbollah has been consistently over 90% for decades, despite all the wars they start and lose, and the destruction they cause. It’s a cult of death.show more

🚨 This is who the world is being told... to “negotiate” with. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, presented as a “moderate”, is chanting “Death to America”, issuing threats, and representing a system built on repression and fear. He has openly taken pride in expanding Iran’s missile program, saying the country reached a point where every city and province could host missile bases. This is not reform. This is not change. Same regime. Same ideology. Same hostility. Only the mask has changed. While Iranians risk their lives in the streets and prisons fill with those who dared to speak, the world is still shaking hands with the very people responsible. Iranians deserve better.

🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is heading... to the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain this week as the Trump administration works to lock down support from America’s Gulf allies for the preliminary Iran agreement. This is how serious diplomacy is done. You do not just cut a deal, celebrate for cameras, and hope the region figures itself out later. You bring the key players to the table, you make sure the Gulf understands what is in the agreement, you build pressure around Iran, and you remind every country in the region that peace only survives when America leads with strength. Rubio is also set to meet with the Gulf Cooperation Council in Bahrain, bringing together major U.S. partners from across the region at the exact moment when Iran, Israel, the Strait of Hormuz, energy security, and nuclear enforcement are all on the line. This is bigger than one trip. This is about making sure the Iran deal does not become another Obama-style paper promise with loopholes, cash, and weakness. Trump is building the wall around Iran diplomatically, Rubio is taking the message directly to the Gulf, and now every ally has to decide whether they are serious about peace, security, and stopping Tehran from ever getting nuclear leverage again. 🇺🇸🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is heading to the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain this week as the Trump administration works to lock down support from America’s Gulf allies for the preliminary Iran agreement.

Vucic just openly disrespected U.S. Secretary Secretary Marco Rubio... boldly mocking one of the most powerful men in the world. He says he would never recognize Kosovo… even if Rubio himself asked him, or Saint Peter called. I wonder, would he be so sure saying that directly in front of Rubio? Honestly, I’m pretty sure these statements of Vucic would evaporate the moment Rubio was actually in the room....classic Vucic bravado. Meanwhile, he keeps showing up at negotiation tables, signing agreements he barely reads, and pretending his “absolutes” matter. Kosovo is a sovereign, thriving state with its own institutions, borders, and laws. Without a passport, even you Александар Вучић would need special permission to enter… try otherwise, and you end up like Марко Ђурић(“lovely memory”). Kosovo does not need your recognition; it needs Serbia to stop lying to its youth. Kosovo has never been Serbia. It is Dardania, with a history that predates your borders. Much of today’s Serbia was once part of Kosovo, taken by force, occupied, and claimed. So u better shush… And about your so-called “courage” not fearing Secretary Marco Rubio or Donald J. Trump? Maybe reconsider, since you once signed agreements in the Oval Office without reading them. That was funny to watch. (Thank you, president Donald J. Trump.) Kosovo doesn’t need your approval.

With much appreciation for President Donald J. Trump, there... are no options for nearly 90% of the Iranian people inside Iran but Pahlavi. It is time to recognize the WILL of the people. We told the him weeks ago that this regime and its affiliate are crazy and that they won’t give up power until completely eliminated. We were right. We said not to trust the Kurd militia with starlink equipment and firearms and they won’t reach the people. We were right. We said that he negotiating with his regime is futile and that reaching an agreement with these demonic creatures is impossible. We were right. NOW we’re letting him that he should take out all the remaining officials if he wants to see any peace in the region and that the Iranians will not settle for anyone but HH Pahlavi because he is the only person that they trust and listen to and he’s the only person that will ensure a smooth transitional period and can bring peace. The Iranian people do not accept anyone that is associated with the regime in any shape or form. Marco Rubioshow more

Key meeting of the day. A very important conversation... with U.S. Secretary of State and Acting National Security Advisor Marco Rubio — one of the key architects of American foreign policy. Together with Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov, First Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergiy Kyslytsya 🇺🇦, and Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States Olga Stefanishyna, we discussed preparations for the meeting between the Presidents of Ukraine and the United States, scheduled for this Friday. We exchanged views on what a long-term security architecture should look like — not only for Ukraine but for all of Europe. The leadership of the United States and personally President Donald Trump made peace in the Middle East possible. This is the kind of vision the world — and Ukraine in particular — needs today. We also discussed the steps that could compel Russia to end its war. Thank you, Secretary Marco Rubio. The American people are truly fortunate to have such a strong and principled Secretary of State.show more

In a classic act as if taken from Hamas’... textbook, Ireland’s Eurovision contest entrance, Bambie Thug, who launched non-stop attacks on Israelis, is now claiming to be the victim. Bambie says that an Israeli broadcaster insulted them and they now demand that Israel be removed from the Eurovision. Recap: Ireland Eurovision representative, 31-year-old Bambie Thug who identifies as a “Goth-Gremlin-Goblin-Witch” and practices "neo-pagan blood magic" during their menstruation—said she cried Israel’s Eden Golan, 20, made it to the finals. She continually called to ban Israel and when the Dutch contestant Joost Klein was banned for beating up a Swedish photographer, Bambie said “I feel sad because Joost is pro-Palestine.” Bambie Thug says a commentary made by Israeli broadcaster breached the rules of the Eurovision, and that Israel should no longer be allowed to participate in the competition. "There’s a lot more anger and a lot more drive in me now," Bambie Thug said in an interview today. On Tuesday, a commentator on Kan, the Israeli public service broadcaster, warned TV viewers with children that Bambie Thug’s performance of their song, *Doomsday Blue* would be "the most scary" of the night. "There will be a lot of spells and black magic and dark clothing, Satanic symbols, and voodoo dolls, like we are at Cats Square in Jerusalem in the mid-90s," the commentator said, referring to a well-known public square in Jerusalem that was central to the city’s nightlife in the 1990s and synonymous with goth culture. The commentator said there was "some controversy" in Ireland about the song, referencing a petition calling on RTÉ to disqualify Doomsday Blue as Ireland’s entry. He also noted that Bambie Thug liked to "speak negatively about Israel". "But we can talk about that later. Prepare your curses," he said. Now Bambie, who is usually proud to tell everyone about thisr "neo-pagan menstruation blood magic” is upset that Israeli broadcaster told audience to “prepare their curses” Give me a break.show more

Surveying 58K+ students from 257 institutions, the results find that free speech has been threatened in historic ways since the Israel-Hamas war began. Expand to learn more ⬇️ 🟡 UVA was ranked as this year’s best school for free speech! Michigan Technological University, Florida State University, Eastern Kentucky University, and Georgia Tech round out the top five. 🔴 Harvard University is ranked as the worst school for free speech for the second year in a row. Columbia University and New York University round out the bottom three — each earning an “abysmal” rating. 🔴 Campus deplatforming attempts spiked by 400% since Hamas’ October 7th attack on Israel. 🔴 7 out of 10 students are uncomfortable publicly disagreeing with a professor about a controversial political topic. 🔴 54% of students report it’s difficult to talk about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On 17 campuses where this issue was especially contentious, 75% or more marked the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as difficult to discuss. 🔴 1 in 4 students said it was unclear whether their college administration protects free speech. 🔴 1/3 of students approve of the use of violence at least “rarely” to stop campus speakers. 🔴 7 out of 10 students say it's at least “rarely okay” to shout down a speaker. Given all of this, it is unsurprising that American confidence in higher education is at a record low.show more

🚨 ATTENTION SOUTH CAROLINA 🚨 NEW: Leading up to... the 2020 South Carolina Democrat Primary, “Republican” Attorney General candidate David Pascoe David Pascoe (a lifelong Democrat) called Hunter Biden’s lawyer Dick Harpootlian Dick Harpootlian: “The biggest influence on my legal career.” As I have previously exposed, Harpootlian is definitely a huge influence over Pascoe, as he is a longtime donor to David and the former Chairman of the South Carolina Democrat Party. Supporting Pascoe is also a Harpootlian family affair, as Dick’s wife, Jamie Harpootlian, also donated to Pascoe’s AG race. Like Dick, Harpootlian’s wife is also closely connected to the Democrat Party, as Joe Biden appointed her ambassador to Melania Trump’s home country of Slovenia to reward the Harpootlian family for their many years of supporting the Democrat Party and Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign. There is nothing Republican about David Pascoe. Nothing at all. It really makes you wonder why the White House political team hasn’t issued a statement warning South Carolina voters about the fact that David Pascoe is literally an undercover Democrat pretending to be a Republican in a state Attorney General’s race. They should really get on this before a Democrat is elected as Attorney General in a massive bait and switch. Matthew Brasseaux James Blair Susie Wiles RAGA President Donald J. Trumpshow more

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 Qatar appears to have sponsored a... trip of conservative influencers to travel to Qatar for Thanksgiving, the same week President Trump signed an Executive Order proposing a 75 day review period to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization. Interestingly enough, the conservative influencers who are now posting on their social media about how amazing Qatar is includes CaitlinSinclairTV Emily Saves America and Rob Smith from what I have seen thus far. They are being wined and dined in Qatar at events for Formula One with 5 star accommodations in Doha, Qatar. They are with others as well. Their travels to Qatar oddly overlap with the Thanksgiving Qatar visit by 5 GOP members of Congress who are currently in Qatar meeting with officials from the Qatari Royal Family, which funds HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood. The 5 GOP members of Congress who flew to Qatar for Thanksgiving include Congresswoman Laurel Lee Office of Congressman Abe Hamadeh Lance Gooden Rep Ryan Zinke and Rep. Marlin Stutzman. Are they being lobbied by the Qataris to oppose designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization? Why are they being so secretive about their visit? How much were these members of Congress promised or given to skip Thanksgiving to travel all the way to Qatar instead of celebrating Thanksgiving with their families? Why are 5 GOP members of Congress and 5 SUVs full of Conservative influencers in Qatar the same week Trump announced his admin would be designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization? Qatar is the biggest financier of the Muslim Brotherhood. Is Qatar paying these influencers to promote Qatar? Are they going to register with FARA? Are we now going to see coordinated posts from these individuals telling us “Qatar is our number one Ally” and that the Muslim Brotherhood isn’t a threat? We need to know why GOP members of Congress and conservative influencers were flown to Qatar to be wined and dined one week before the Doha Forum where Neil Patel Neil Patel, the CEO of Tucker Carlson Network TCN is scheduled to speak along with Omeed Malik, the Pakistani-Iranian who gave Tucker Carlson the $15 million seed investment for his media company when he went independent after leaving Fox News. This is a terrible look. And it’s more evidence that Qatar is trying to buy off silence from the GOP via members of Congress and social media influencers as Muslims funded by Qatar continue to ravage our country with Islamic jihad. If you are aware of even more conservative influencers who are currently in Qatar shilling for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood , please DM me and I will expose them. Who paid for their trip? If they paid for it themselves, they should post their travel receipts that prove they paid for their own hotel and flights. If not, they should be forced to register with FARA.

During The Presidency 🇿🇦 Ramaphosa’s meeting with President Donald... J. Trump at the White House, he falsely attempted to downplay both his and the ANC’s affinity for those who use the “Kill the Boer” chant. This slogan calls for ethnic-based violence against Afrikaners and farmers. In this video, President Ramaphosa stated that he would love to have Julius Malema back in the ANC, claiming that Malema is “still ANC at heart.” This sentiment was echoed by other ANC leaders, including former Deputy President David Mabuza, who also urged Malema to “come back home” to the party. The ANC-led government’s attempts to dismiss legitimate concerns about serious human rights abuses in South Africa as mere “misinformation” will not succeed. Videos like this one, the ANC’s legal defense of the “Kill the Boer” chant in court, President Ramaphosa’s refusal to condemn it unequivocally, and the South African courts’ decision to legalise the chant, are all publicly accessible for the world, and for figures such as President Trump, Secretary Marco Rubio and Elon Musk to witness and judge for themselves.show more

BREAKING:🚨 TRUMP TO IRAN: YOUR BLACKOUT IS OVER: STARLINK... ABOUT TO BE DEPLOYED President Trump has just confirmed he is speaking to Elon Musk about activating Starlink over Iran as the regime plunges the country into an information blackout amid mass protests. This is not a technical move. This is a political earthquake. The Islamic dictatorship survives by controlling one thing above all else: the narrative. When Iranians can’t upload video, can’t message, can’t livestream, and can’t show the world what’s happening, the regime can kill in silence. That silence is its greatest weapon. Starlink shatters that. Once satellite internet is active: • Protesters can upload footage in real time • Atrocities can be documented instantly • Killings can’t be denied • Mass arrests can’t be hidden • The world sees the truth as it happens And the regime loses its ability to lie. Tehran cannot turn off satellites. It cannot censor orbit. It cannot firewall space. That is why Starlink terrifies them more than any speech or sanction ever could. And here is the part the regime understands, even if its apologists pretend not to: When people are connected to the outside world, they stop being invisible. They become witnesses. They become evidence. They become impossible to erase. Iran’s rulers already know what’s coming. They are shooting protesters. They are charging them as “enemies of God.” They are scrambling to kill the internet before the truth escapes. Trump is moving to break that chokehold. This is not about hardware. It is about ending the regime’s monopoly on reality. Because dictatorships don’t fall when they lose tanks. They fall when they lose control of the story. And once Iranians can speak to the world freely again, the story of this regime is finished.show more

The situation in northern Israel is getting surprisingly little... attention in the West. Here’s some background and an explanation of just how dire it is. World War Three gets closer by the day, and I’m not exaggerating. UNSC resolution 1701 (2006) is that Hezbollah agree to stay north of the river Litani in Lebanon. This puts Israeli settlements out of anti-tank rocket range. However, Hezbollah have broken this and since 7th October have fired thousands of rockets into Israel, displacing some 60,000 Israelis from their homes. To be clear, Hezbollah is a direct Iranian proxy, who live like a virus inside the almost-dead body of the Lebanese state. Their fighters are far superior to Hamas, having gained serious experience in the Syrian civil war. They have no real ground manoeuvre or air power, but their tunnels in the chalk rock of southern Lebanon are better than Hamas’ and they have an estimated 150,000 rockets. There are UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon, but (shockingly for the UN, I know) they’re as much use as a bacon sandwich at a Bar Mitzvah. One very senior Israeli source described them to me as “an umbrella that folds when it rains”. So Israel has a real, very serious problem. They do not have the manpower to assault into Lebanon for any kind of sustained campaign, especially whilst Gaza is ongoing. So, in polite terms, they are kicking the shit out of it from the air (over which they have total superiority) and relying on missile defences. Thousands of targets have been struck in the last 9 months but Hezbollah retain very significant missile capability. This is why Israel are beholden to the USA to offer obscenely generous ceasefire terms to Hamas (that Hamas appear to be declining). They cannot afford to lose American military aid with this threat on their northern border. In the videos below, in the first vid you see the war zone northern Israel has become. The second one is the settlement of Katzrin in the Golan Heights. Surrounded on all sides by fires. In a statement to Qatari-funded Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece Al Jazeera, yesterday Hezbollah said, “We simultaneously attacked 15 bases in the Golan and the Galilee using 150 rockets and 30 drones. This is the most extensive attack carried out by the organization since October 8, this attack came in response to the assassination in Joya and in order to deter Israel from carrying out further assassinations of this type.” On top of that, Iranian proxies in Iraq took responsibility last night for the joint operation they carried out together with the Houthis (Iranian proxies in Yemen), which launched these ballistic missiles and UAVs towards the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Haifa (third video). Iran is besieging Israel on all sides, and Israel is bending, not breaking. This situation is genuinely dire. It explains why Hamas will not sign a ceasefire deal, and why other non-Iran aligned Gulf states are meeting with IDF commanders. The entire region is teetering on the edge of a much more widespread conflict with Iran, and Israel is taking the brunt of it. If this situation deteriorates, our allies in the Gulf may call for aid. As a second front in the war against the Iran-Russia-China-Qatar axis of malign global actors, this could not be more serious or worrying. And all the while we see subversive Iranian proxy organisations organising protests about Gaza on Western streets. Hopefully the West is not defeated domestically before the war even starts in earnest.show more

🇺🇸🇺🇦"Rubio Marco Rubio and other American politicians are Russian... penis suckers," declared the chief political strategist of President Zelensky's Office today, adding a photo of Secretary of State Marco Rubio with a penis drawn on his face. He wrote about this on his Telegram channel. On Rubio's forehead, where a penis is now drawn, there was previously a cross, as Catholics do at the start of Lent. In other words, Zelensky's political strategist Volodymyr Petrov replaced a Christian symbol with a sexual organ, which is a horrific sacrilege! Vladimir/Volodymyr Petrov has been working for Zelensky since 2019 and even earlier worked for the parliamentary TV channel "Rada," which came under Zelensky's control. Petrov operates through Andriy Yermak. Yes, he does not work officially (because he receives unofficial cash in envelopes), but everyone in Ukrainian politics knows that Vladimir Petrov is the chief political strategist in the Office of the President of Ukraine. This means that what you see in the video is Zelensky's new strategy: to mock and discredit the American government. If such views are not supported by President Zelensky, he should fire Petrov as a sick degenerate and stop any funding for his YouTube channel, which he runs with corrupt money while praising the Ukrainian government. Petrov, the political strategist of the President's Office, is in charge of the government’s information campaign, serving as the ideologue and chief propagandist of the regime. He has enriched himself so much during the war that in October 2024, he bought himself yet another 6-room apartment in an elite building in central Kyiv. Zelensky continues to conduct anti-American propaganda among the Ukrainian population. I will continue publishing facts about Zelensky’s crimes and corruption, which I have gathered over the past six years of his rule. Subscribe and retweet so the world can see.

The only reason that this BS story about Donald... J.

I said that June 1 was the deadline to start the arrests otherwise we will move into no man's land. Since June 1 the deep state pushed out Elon, No National Security Advisor, No arrests, No covid accountability, no Crossfire hurricane accountability, no J6 accountability. This is the moment that MAGA must lock arms agains the Establishment ecosystem trying to go after trump when he is at his weakest while publishing fake poles to dupe him. Keep in mind that Wall Street Journal is a news Corp. company headed up by Murdoch with Paul Ryan on the board. Is this yet another hit job trying to conduct the coup by Mike Pence and Paul Ryan just like they did during the 2016 campaign after the grabbing them by the you know what or during the first term when Mike Pence was working with his chief of staff and Pete Strzok staffer married to Pence COS to try to 25th amendment president Trump? I'm not gonna allow the third time to be a charm. I'm now going on full blown scorched earth offense against the TDS infused neocon establishment and their criminal coconspirator Democrats to let them know that this will not go unpunished.

BREAKING: Lebanon has ordered the Iranian ambassador to leave... the country by 29th March. Persona non grata. The host nation of Iran’s most successful proxy just told the patron state to get out. This happened on the same day that Hezbollah fired its 55th rocket and drone attack since March 22nd. On the same day that the IDF struck hundreds of Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s southern suburbs. On the same day that the Lebanese Health Ministry reported 18 killed and 65 injured from Israeli strikes on Lebanese soil. Lebanon expelled the ambassador of the country whose proxy is fighting a war from Lebanon’s territory while Lebanon’s own citizens die in the crossfire. Process what that means. Lebanon has two governments. One sits in the Grand Serail and issues decrees. The other sits in Dahieh and launches missiles. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has banned all Hezbollah military and security activities. He has demanded weapon surrender. He has expelled the Iranian ambassador. And Hezbollah has responded by firing another barrage into northern Israel this morning. The decrees do not reach Dahieh. The Lebanese Armed Forces remain non-engaged. The state issues orders that the parallel state ignores. The ambassador leaves. The rockets do not. Lebanon created Hezbollah’s host environment and Hezbollah consumed it. Iran’s IRGC dispatched advisors to the Bekaa Valley in 1982 during the Israeli invasion and the chaos of civil war. They trained Shiite militants. They funded mosques, hospitals, schools. They built a social infrastructure that the Lebanese state could not provide, then militarised it. Hezbollah’s 1985 manifesto pledged allegiance to Ayatollah Khomeini. Iran provides an estimated $700 million annually. Forty-four years later, the organisation that Iran built inside Lebanon is more powerful than the state that hosts it. The ambassador can be expelled. The $700 million pipeline cannot. The expulsion is not strength. It is the last card a government plays when it has no others. Lebanon’s economy loses $30 to $80 million per day from the strikes. Five hundred and seventeen thousand people are displaced. The banking system collapsed in 2020 and never recovered. The currency has lost 98 percent of its value since 2019. And now Israel is striking Lebanese territory daily because Hezbollah is using Lebanese territory to attack Israel in solidarity with an Iranian war that the Lebanese government did not start, does not support, and cannot stop. The country is being destroyed by a war between its tenant and its neighbour, and the landlord has no power over either. Hezbollah fights because Iran’s sealed packets and $700 million command it. Israel strikes because Hezbollah fires from Lebanese positions. Lebanon’s government expels an ambassador because expelling an ambassador is the one sovereign act it can still perform. The army cannot disarm Hezbollah. The police cannot enter Dahieh. The courts cannot prosecute a militia that provides social services to a third of the population. The only tool the state has left is a diplomatic note handed to a man whose organisation does not need his presence to continue operating. The Axis of Resistance was designed for exactly this: to fight from inside states that cannot control the fight. Lebanon is the template. Iraq, Yemen, and Syria are the copies. The patron state provides the funding. The proxy provides the violence. The host state absorbs the retaliation. And when the host state protests, the proxy ignores the protest and the patron state sends a new ambassador. The rockets will continue after March 29. The ambassador will leave. The $700 million will not.show more
