When reviewing the production, it is important to remember – when Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks to an assembly in English, his audience is not in the room in Munich.

Looking for new suckers to pay for his war, and asking for boots on the ground. I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask, but I believe even the Europeans are smarter than to join Zelenski's war.

This guy is desperate. I hate to break it to you Bub...... But Europe aint gonna bail you out. The Europeans after WWII have become very risk adverse, and, with a few minor exceptions, wont go anywhere without the US leading the charge. Even when Yugoslavia fell into civil war, the Europeans were useless. Europe ceded its collecting gonads to the US.

Yeah, right. Europe has had 80 years to create a European Military. What have they done? Relied upon the United States for protection. The EU has been in existence since 1993. What has the EU done? Relied upon the United States for protection. Because Zelensky wants it, the Europeans are now going to create a European military. How long before a real EU United and Capable Defense becomes a reality? Decades. Meanwhile, Russia cannot take the Ukraine. But Europe feels threatened by Russia. Wow. Get a sense of reality EU.

I agree in that the U.S. should withdraw from NATO. It was created to protect the western democracies from the real threat of a Soviet invasion. It was a success. The Soviet Union is gone and Russia is a ghost of the colossus it once was. We are no longer needed, let the Europeans go back to taking care of themselves.

President Donald Trump on Feb. 14 signed an executive order barring funding to universities and schools with COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The order, detailed in a fact sheet provided by the White House, will prohibit all federal funding to any schools that implement COVID-19 vaccine mandates and directs the secretaries of Education and Health and Human Services to issue compliance guidelines and plans to end existing mandates. The secretaries will also create a report of non-compliant institutions and a process for blocking funds from supporting any that impose mandates.

If you’ve been following Revolver News, you know we’ve had Norm Eisen’s number for years. But who is Norm Eisen, really?It’s a loaded question, but here’s the short version of how he got started: Norm’s a Harvard Law grad. Back in 1991 he met his BFF Barack Obama. While he was there, he also served as Assistant Director of the Anti-Defamation League (a left-wing anti-free speech/propaganda group) and worked as a research assistant to his professor, Alan Dershowitz. But Eisen’s story takes a much darker turn the moment he and his Deep State buddies saw their power apparatus crumbling, thanks to a political outsider named Donald J. Trump.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears on Meet the Press to discuss his position toward ending the conflict with Russia. Within the conversation [04:11], Zelenskyy said, “I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine.” President Zelenskyy represents the interests of the European Union, multinational corporations, various elements of NATO memberships, the World Economic Forum, the CIA division within the U.S. State Dept., western banks and a confab of various western intelligence operations.

The theme of President Trump’s next term is accountability. Gone are the days when the left and the uniparty could run amok, doing whatever the heck they pleased—whether it was coddling criminals, protecting illegals (same difference, really), while throwing hardworking Americans under the bus. And that brings us to this latest story involving AOC, who has completely abandoned her American constituents and is now pouring all her energy into helping illegals evade capture – which goes against everything the American people voted for in 2024.She actually had the audacity to put together a webinar for them.

The Friday before Inauguration Day, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) illustrated the fiscal challenge facing President Trump and the new Republican Congress. In a short version of its annual Budget and Economic Outlook, CBO quantified the whopping $21.8 trillion in budget deficits the federal government faces in the coming decade. While the updated numbers only marginally constitute news — CBO has warned for years about our dire financial future, only for lawmakers to keep spending — one particular nugget illustrates the problem. The budget gnomes significantly increased their spending projections for Medicaid, as but one example of how entitlement programs continue to cannibalize the federal budget.

U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington on Feb. 14 declined a request by unions and nonprofits for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent the DOGE team from gaining access to records at the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Brennan highlighted Vance's speech to the Munich Security Conference in Germany last week, which criticized European allies for adopting a "soviet"-style approach to censorship.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, rejected an offer by the Trump administration to relinquish half of the country’s mineral resources in exchange for U.S. support, according to five people briefed on the proposal or with direct knowledge of the talks. The unusual deal would have granted the United States a 50 percent interest in all of Ukraine’s mineral resources, including graphite, lithium and uranium, as compensation for past and future support in Kyiv’s war effort against Russian invaders, according to two European officials. A Ukrainian official and an energy expert briefed on the proposal said that the Trump administration also sought Ukrainian energy resources.

Post-Limbaugh talk radio seems smaller to me than it once did - not just because Rush had a big personality, but because he managed to fit the flotsam and jetsam of the news cycle into the big picture.

Canadian hockey fans booed “The Star-Spangled Banner” — setting off a brawl-filled game that ended with a US win Saturday night. The game of the NHL-run 4 Nations Face-Off tournament could have been mistaken for a boxing event — with three fist fights breaking out between American and Canadian players following the widespread booing of the US national anthem by over 20,000 angry fans. As soon as the singer, Royal Canadian Air Force member David Grenon, began belting, “Oh, say, can you see,” the crowd at the Bell Centre in Montreal let out an aggressive and booming chorus of boos that nearly drowned out the anthem entirely.

In determining citizenship, the United States has a very unusual approach. You’re a citizen if you were born here. (You’re also a citizen if you were born abroad under certain circumstances, but that’s a different issue.) That’s a bit crazy, because it means that if a woman (aren’t you glad we don’t have to refer to them as “child-birthing persons” anymore?) makes it into the United States, legally or illegally, in time to give birth – right on the north bank of the Rio Grande, for example – her baby is an American citizen.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer declared his willingness to deploy British troops to Ukraine “in harm’s way” to deter Russian aggression hours before he is set to join an ’emergency summit’ on the matter in Paris on Monday. The United States and Russia are meeting to discuss the Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia this week, but European leaders have not been invited to send delegations. Apparently prompted by being left behind in this regard, and likely too by the Trump White House’s suggestion that European nations actually decide what they are actually capable of doing on Ukraine, European leaders are meeting in Paris today for an “emergency summit”.
