‘President Asked Zelensky To Leave’:
Ukraine Talks Blow Up in

Volodymyr Zelensky did not wear a suit and the Ukrainian president did not sign a minerals deal with the United States, either. Instead, the wartime leader was unceremoniously kicked out of the White House after tangling with President Trump and Vice President Vance.

For three years in the United States, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was heralded as the second coming of Winston Churchill. He earned standing ovations from Congress, posed for glossy photo shoots, and received regular envoys of politicians, celebrities, and press from the West.
But one moment in the Oval Office may have ended it all.
Zelensky publicly crossed his greatest ally, calling into question before the press whether President Trump and Vice President Vance, now seeking to negotiate a peace deal, really understood both the land war in his country and his enemy, Russian President Vladimir Putin. He was summarily kicked out of the White House.

President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he was “gambling with World War III” during a fiery Oval Office exchange Friday.
The high-stakes visit went off the rails shortly after Vice President JD Vance tore into Zelensky for seeming to slight his American counterparts.
The VP said it was “disrespectful for Zelensky to come into the Oval Office, litigating in front of the American media” — setting off a shouting match among the men. “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 wanting to bring an end to the conflict,” Vance said.
The White House press corps has nerve complaining about access to the president after it raised barely a peep in protest at Joe Biden being practically AWOL his entire presidency.
Biden didn’t even hold a press conference until two months in.
The handful of press conferences he did conduct were a bad joke, in which he would take three or four questions from preselected reporters, whose names and photographs were printed on a card. Yet he still got fawning praise from the Washington media.
The worst insult they could muster was “boring,” but the Baltimore Sun even spun that into “Biden’s superpower.
Who Caused the Counter-Revolution?

At some point, some president was going to have to stop the unsustainable spending and borrowing.
To have any country left, some president would eventually have had to restore a nonexistent border and stop the influx of 3 million illegal aliens a year.
Some commander-in-chief finally would have to try to stop the theater wars abroad.
But any president who dared to do any of that would be damned for curbing the madness that his predecessors fueled. And so none did -- until now.
Most writers are familiar with three words made famous by novelist Stephen King: “Kill your darlings.”
Why am I telling you this? Because it directly relates to what Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are trying to do with the federal government.
King’s writing advice isn’t as violent as it sounds. He’s speaking of the well-known concept that when it comes to words, less is more. Brevity is better. Yet, that forces writers to take a hard look at their own creation. Once something is on paper (or the computer screen) it becomes hard to “kill” it. It’s yours, after all. The same holds true of the federal government,
President Donald Trump's director of national intelligence is taking action against federal employees within the intelligence community for alleged ties to explicit conversations on an internal agency messaging board. DNI Tulsi Gabbard put out a directive Tuesday to terminate the employment of and revoke the security clearances of employees who participated in obscene and explicit chatrooms on the National Security Agency's (NSA) "Intelink" messaging platform.
"There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in... what is really just an egregious violation of trust

deal, plans to visit DC later this week: report 8 replies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to a draft of a minerals deal with the White House on Tuesday, according to reports. Reuters reported on Tuesday that the Ukrainian leader plans to travel to D.C. on Friday to meet with President Donald Trump after the officials agreed to the terms of the deal.
The pact, which would involve giving the U.S. access to natural resources in exchange for America’s support of Ukraine amid its war with Russia, was days in the making. Trump said on Friday that his administration was "pretty close" to striking a deal, and on Monday, he hinted that a meeting between him and Zelenskyy was imminent.
Trump’s Ukrainian Tightrope

To find an impossible peace between Ukraine and Russia we must understand the recent history of the war and the European and American roles in it. So, Americans should revisit some fundamental realities and questions from which to remember before going forward. Why Did Putin Invade Ukraine in 2022? Putin did start the war. Trump’s trolling aside, he knows that because he correctly pointed out that Putin invaded his neighbors in three of the last four administrations—but not his own, given Trump’s deterrence.The most obvious answer why Putin did is that he thought he easily could. But why in 2022—as he had in 2008 and 2014?
MSNBC is pulling the plug on Joy Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” as part of a major shakeup, Fox News Digital has learned—and I can’t stop laughing. Honestly, there’s no one more deserving of cancellation. Well, maybe Rachel Maddow… and pretty much everyone else at MSNBC. According to the report, “The ReidOut” has been struggling to hold viewers, averaging just 973,000 in February 2025—a sharp 28% drop from the 1.3 million it pulled in during the same month last year. Reid has become notorious for her relentless anti-Trump rhetoric and a string of controversial moments.
The most remarkable thing about President Donald Trump’s whirlwind first five weeks back in office has not been the pace at which his administration has been making major changes, but rather that it has done so without spending much political capital, or, in laymen's terms, losing much support. Trump’s slew of executive orders, covering everything from establishing only two genders, to freezing federal spending, cutting energy regulations and much more have been fast and furious. The pace of change has left Democrats and their media allies flatfooted and confused, punching at quickly changing shadows, as when they laughably pointed to a fired national parks employee
If you beamed in from Mars, you could learn everything about the state of the West and its politics through a split screen last week.
On one half is an unhinged b-rated street-theater, suicide-march of mostly geriatric Democrats protesting Elon Musk’s effort to cut fraud, waste, and abuse — dandies like an EPA grant of $50 million to a group that believes “climate justice travels through a Free Palestine,” $8 billion to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to use proper gender-fluid pronouns and grants for drag queen shows in Ecuador.

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) argued that the Trump administration hasn’t focused on the problems of everyday Americans, while Democrats are “continuing to make sure that we focus on trying to make life better for everyday Americans.” And “We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to secure the border.”
Jeffries said, “Look, what we’ve seen from the Trump administration over the last several weeks is just a flood of unprecedented extremism and a parade of horribles that continue to be unleashed on the American people, while, at the same time, the Trump administration is not focused
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the firebrand socialist darling of the radical left, is sweating bullets.
And who’s got her running scared? None other than America’s no-nonsense “Border Czar,” Tom Homan, who’s vowed to hold her accountable.
In a frantic letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the New York congresswoman is scrambling to find out if the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating her for coaching illegal aliens on how to evade ICE.
The controversy erupted when Tom Homan openly criticized
Zelenskyy appears for an interview with Bret Baier to discuss the collapse of discussions today at the White House.
Again and again, Zelenskyy outlines his view of “security guarantees” which includes the baseline component of USA troops on the ground. Zelenskyy will not accept any negotiations or ceasefire arrangement without U.S. troops in Ukraine.
This same “security guarantee” demand (U.S. Troops in Ukraine) applies also to the minerals guarantee. WATCH:
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched his bid for New York City mayor with a video posted on his X account. This comes after much speculation that the governor would launch a comeback after leaving office in August 2021.

"We know that our New York City is in trouble," Cuomo says in the launch video. "You feel it when you walk down the street and try not to make eye contact

You knew it wouldn’t take long before leftists, Neocons and Trump haters would all weigh in on the epic SmackDown at The Oval™ that took place Friday afternoon, where the president and his number two VP JD Vance weren’t buying the insolence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was throwing down. As we reported, failed political hacks—both “former,” because nobody would consider voting for them any longer—Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) quickly weighed in with their unhinged takes.

The same traitors Same who colluded in Trump’s first impeachment and Russia hoax: Zelenskyy, Sullivan, Blinken, Rice, Nuland, and Vindman were the architects of Zelensky’s blowing up the peace talks. They are acting as foreign agents.
This is treasonous and most certainly a violation of the Logan Act. Ironically, this treasonous act will have the opposite effect of what they intended – chalk another up to the law of unintended consequences.
RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski has claimed that the row that broke out this week in the Oval Office made her “sick to my stomach.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy broke one of the cardinal rules of diplomacy today: Never introduce a surprise in a high-stakes meeting. This principle is sacrosanct among leaders, particularly when navigating complex international relationships. Yet, Zelenskyy employed a risky gambit, attempting to leverage media influence to strengthen his negotiating position with the nation that has already provided his country with $183 billion in aid.
At the outset of a press conference intended to pave the way for a formal agreement, Zelenskyy seized upon a reporter’s question
ebruary 28th was shaping up to be such a great day for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: he was in Washington, D.C., set to meet with our 47th President Donald J. Trump…the sun was shining…pomp and circumstance filled the air in our nation’s capital. On the Salem news program “THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins,” U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson was enthusiastically outlining the broad outline of President Trump’s plan to sign a deal with Zelenskyy, which would cede fifty percent of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals to the United States…potentially generating billions of dollars in revenue to—in part—
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he wanted the US to "stand more firmly on our side" after a fiery White House exchange with US President Donald Trump on Friday.

(Snip) Earlier, Zelensky published a thread of 14 posts on X in which he reiterated calls for US security guarantees to form part of any "just and lasting" peace deal to end the war with Russia. He noted that Trump
