Putin Dismisses U.S. Cease-Fire Deal with
Ukraine, Demands More Concessions
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/13/2025 3:23:15 PM
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Thursday the Trump administration’s cease-fire proposal with Ukraine in its current form and demanded further concessions, including that the U.S. and Europe cut off arms shipments to Ukraine, before Moscow agrees to halt fighting. “We agree with proposals to cease hostilities [in Ukraine], but this cessation must lead to a long-term peace and eliminate the root cause of the initial crisis,” Putin said Thursday, without detailing what he believes the root causes to be.

Ezra Klein: This is Why Democrats Lost
6 replies
If you're a regular reader, some of this will be familiar territory. Still, it's interesting to see the data being presented in this discussion by David Shor. Shor is a progressive data analyst who first came to my attention when he got canceled by progressives for posting a tweet which made the case that race riots were counterproductive. This wasn't even Shor's own data but it didn't matter. Days after the death of George Floyd this was cause for outrage. If people were rioting, Democrats were supposed to support that and anyone who said otherwise was racist. You can read more about that incident here.
But since then,
A pair of NASA astronauts, who were stranded in space for more than nine months, returned to Earth on Tuesday, landing in the Gulf of America off Tallahassee, Florida, bringing an end to an unforeseen odyssey.
Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 62, and Suni Williams, 59, returned home after a new crew replaced them and two other astronauts reached the International Space Station (ISS) over the weekend.
The four-person Crew-10 carried by a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft early on Sunday met up with the ISS, where Wilmore and Williams had been living since their planned roughly week-long mission in June 2024 turned into a much longer one.
"On behalf of SpaceX,
We’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop for a couple of years at this point since the bird flu narrative first ramped up post-COVID.
Mammal-to-mammal gain-of-function — the newfound ability to transmit between mammals — has always seemed inevitable, given that the biomedical security state is literally funding gain-of-function research on viruses in clandestine labs all over the world, fully immune from oversight.
It was nearly a year ago that former CDC Director Robert Redfield predicted bioengineered bird flu that infects and transmits among humans could drop “in months.” Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) belonging to lineage 2.3.4.4b emerged in Chile in December 2022, leading to mass
WASHINGTON - The administration of President Donald Trump was consulted on Monday by Israel on its deadly strikes in Gaza, a White House spokesperson told Fox News' "Hannity" show.
"The Trump administration and the White House were consulted by the Israelis on their attacks in Gaza tonight," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Fox News interview. Palestinian medics in Gaza reported dozens of people were killed in the aftermath of a series of the most violent air attacks by Israel on the Palestinian enclave since a ceasefire was reached on January 19 between Israel and Hamas militants.
A senior Hamas official said Israel had unilaterally overturned the ceasefire agreement.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is over as Israeli fighter jets began striking the Gaza Strip after Hamas refused repeated hostage deal offers, officials said.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began striking Hamas terrorist targets across Gaza "in order to achieve the war objectives set by the political leadership, including the release of all our hostages—both the living and the fallen," the office of Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a letter.
"This decision comes after Hamas repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all proposals presented by U.S. President’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as the mediators," the letter states.
US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that it will face "dire" consequences if Yemen's Houthis continue to attack international shipping lanes.
He said the Iranian leadership would be held responsible for "every shot fired by the Houthis", which have long been backed by Tehran. The group later said it had targeted a US aircraft carrier three times in the past two days.
The Houthis first tried to attack the USS Harry S Truman in the Red Sea on Sunday following deadly US strikes on Yemen.
The Pentagon said it had struck 30 targets in Yemen since Saturday
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump, who has ordered the release of classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, said on Monday that his administration will make public around 80,000 pages of files related to the former president on Tuesday.
"People have been waiting for decades for this," Trump told reporters during a visit to The Kennedy Center in Washington. "It's going to be very interesting."
Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to present a plan to release records related to the assassinations of Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
As the COVID coverup unravels--at least for normies, it is unraveling, I and many others have been censored since 2020 for stating the obvious--the Pravda Media is looking to cover their behinds by claiming to have been "misled."
We all know they were co-conspirators, of course, but they can't admit that. And they wouldn't, but for the raft of leaks from various intelligence agencies in recent weeks revealing that they all knew that the virus was engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.Raccoon dogs? Bats from a wet market? The raccoon dog theory was based on finding a fragment of the virus at the wet market
Were they 'misled'? Or did they lead the charge against anyone who dared question the consensus?
Now that the cat has come out of the bag, suddenly the New York Times feels the need to get out in front of the backlash. For years, the NYT ran story after story, scathing column after column, about anyone who dared to challenge The Science®. How dare people suggest that a novel coronavirus might have emerged from the nearby lab being run under questionable practices doing exactly the kind of research intended to produce novel coronaviruses! Those dissenters were all raaaaaacists, remember?
Now, the NYT -- and not even in its own editorial voice --

President Trump signed an executive order over the weekend gutting the federal agency that oversees the Voice of America, the news outlet that for more than 80 years broadcast news and information into countries where independent reporting is restricted or censored.
Hours after Trump signed an executive order Friday directing the elimination of the US Agency for Global Media, numerous journalists, executives and staff at the organization’s Washington headquarters were notified that they were being placed on paid leave, according to National Public Radio.
The White House on Saturday put out a press release titled “The Voice of Radical America,”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is postponing several events across the country this week to promote his new book amid Democratic backlash to his handling of last week's government funding fight.
“Due to security concerns, Senator Schumer’s book events are being rescheduled,” said a statement provided by Risa Heller, who is handling communications for Schumer’s book, “Antisemitism in America: A Warning.” The postponement comes as protesters were expected to attend the events after Schumer led a group of Senate Democrats to provide key votes to pass a Republican-led government funding bill backed by President Donald Trump to avert a shutdown. Schumer and nine others in the Senate Democratic caucus voted
The Houthi have said they will ban US vessels from navigation of the southern Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Gulf Aden, and that it will target US Navy ships in response to US airstrikes on Yemen.
US attacks on Yemen on March 15 have claimed 53 lives, according to the Houthi, as US president Trump increased military action to reopen the Red Sea to commercial shipping.
Posting on Truth Social, the US president said: “The Houthis have choked off shipping in one of the most important Waterways of the World, grinding vast swaths of Global Commerce to a halt, and attacking the core principle

orders Musk to restore access for employees 42 replies
Elon Musk's attempt to unilaterally dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the United States Constitution, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ordered Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to immediately give USAID employees access to their "email, payment, security notification, and all other electronic systems," and ordered a pause on any efforts to shut down USAID.
Judge Chuang wrote that Musk's takeover "usurped the authority of the public's elected representatives in Congress to make decisions on whether, when, and how to eliminate a federal government agency, and of Officers of the United States duly appointed under the Constitution
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts scolded President Trump Tuesday for demanding that a federal judge who blocked the swift deportation of Venezeulan gang members be impeached.
In a rare direct response to a presidential statement, Roberts responded to Trump’s morning comments toward Chief DC US District Judge James Boasberg, saying: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.
“The normal appellate review process exists for that reason,” the chief justice concluded.

All the years of following the networks, rulings, relationships and details is starting to surface as important. The notoriously corrupt DC Judge James Boasberg is now in the big ugly spotlight. President Trump calls for Judge Boasberg to be impeached. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts immediately jumps into action to defend his friend and colleague. Have you ever seen Justice Roberts respond so quickly? The reason is the relationship between him and Boasberg. (snip) John Roberts appointed Boasberg to be presiding judge of the FISA court after Judge Rosemary Collyer’s term was over.
The former U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe has described President Trump’s ban on women in men’s sports as “cruel and depraved.”
Rapinoe made the remarks during a profile interview with MUNDIAL magazine over Trump’s changes to federal Title IX rules that prohibit biological men from playing in women’s sports.
“Don’t tell me it’s about the rights of women’s sports,” Rapinoe railed. “That is totally disingenuous to say that.”
The 40-year-old went on to claim that Trump biological men competing against women “isn’t an issue,”

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz expressed frustration during a Tuesday podcast about criticism regarding his masculinity while he campaigned to be vice president of the United States in 2024. Fox News host Jesse Watters in September criticized the governor’s masculinity, specifically citing his use of a straw to drink a milkshake. Walz, on “This is Gavin Newsom” claimed the network spent multiple days criticizing him for how he consumed the milkshake, and alleged they constantly characterized him as a homosexual.
There’s a popular debate series on YouTube called “Surrounded,” where they take a pundit of some stripe — usually an older person with some degree of renown and experience — and put them in a room full of social media savvy youngsters who all disagree with that person. One by one, they all take turns arguing with the guest. As you might imagine, a round robin debate with a bunch of peacocking college-age students is frequently the Dante-esque assault on reason you imagine it is, but it produces plenty of viral moments that can be clipped and shared on social media.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts defended the rogue judiciary and slammed Trump’s call for impeaching judges in a rare rebuke on Tuesday.
On Tuesday morning, President Trump called for Judge James Boasberg to be impeached after he ordered planes deporting criminal Venezuelan aliens to turn around.
Judge Boasberg demanded the DOJ disclose sensitive national security information during a contentious hearing on Monday.
The Justice Department hit back and said the activist judge was trying to force the government to disclose sensitive national security and operation security concerns.
I won’t leave you in suspense. I’m a lawyer, so the answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reported that over 12 million people 120-years-old and older were found to still be listed in the U.S. Social Security database.
On Tuesday, DOGE posted an update on their website, revealing that out of over 12 million individuals aged 120 and up in their records, approximately 3.2 million have now been classified as deceased.
“For the past two weeks, @SocialSecurity has begun a major cleanup of their records,” the announcement said. “Approximately 3.2 million number holders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. More work still to be done.”
The radical judge trying to stop President Trump from deporting dangerous illegal aliens has been Loomered.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama issued an ’emergency’ injunction Saturday night ordering planes already in the air to turn back mid-flight to prevent the deportation of Tren De Agua members to El Salvador.
The case was brought by the Marxist, America-hating ACLU and Democracy Forward.
But the order came too late. Two flights from the U.S. carrying nearly 300 Venezuelan and other gang members landed in El Salvador despite Judge James Boasberg’s emergency order. This prompted a mocking reply from the country’s president, Nayib Bukele.
Now, independent journalist Laura Loomer discovered

President Trump sends a shot across the bow to those who received a preemptive pardon from the administration of Joe Biden, noting the use of an autopen could nullify the issuance.Via Truth Social – “The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden.

After more than nine months in space, two NASA astronauts finally returned to Earth, touching down in the Gulf of America. Their extended mission, which was initially intended to last for only two weeks, saw them endure the challenges of living in space far beyond their expected timeframe. The astronauts faced a series of technical delays and unforeseen complications, but their safe return marks a significant milestone for both the space agency and the astronauts.
Williams and Wilmore returned home aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, which had been docked at the International Space Station since September 2024. The capsule, which was initially used to transport NASA astronaut Nick Hague
