Zelenskyy on Ropes – Ukranian Regime
Grabs More Authoritarian Power Then Backtracks
When Protests Erupt

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 7/29/2025 9:41:56 AM

The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted. European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.

The Ukrainians should throw out Zelensky. Get someone less corrupt and more flexible. Then ask Trump to deal with Putin to reach the 'best possible' deal. A solution with complete withdrawal of Russia is NOT feasible and the world should not be held hostage to that possibility. Russia should be forced to agree to a solution that guarantees Ukrainian independence and integrity.. Only Trump can do that.

I'll never understand all the Zelensky hatred. Yeah, he is corrupt. So are most other leaders. There are plenty others that are worse than him. The Russia-Ukraine war reminds me of the Iran-Iraq war. As long as the Iran-Iraq war went on, they were too busy with each other to bother anyone else. At least Zelensky is keeping Putin's attention and making it hard for Putin to focus on other targets. Zelensky is the likely reason Syria fell. Russia couldn't prop Syria up any longer since all their forces are committed to Ukraine.

We’ve been shoveling bazillions of dollars into Ukraine for how many years with no oversight or accountability on how it is spent. Of course the leaders are stealing it. They do the same in the US. As an American I do not want to support this useless drain of taxpayer money anymore. I never did. This war is unwinnable by either side. The sooner Trump ends it the better.

He's been good for nothing but the utter destruction of his once beautiful country. His arrogance and power lust has resulted in much sorrow and mass death for the people of Ukraine. It will take generations to recover from his stupidity to wage war against a super power.

#16 - Thank you for encapsulating the core issue. This horrible war was not really started by either Ukraine or Russia; it was started by the power brokers in the EU-WWIII Commietariat, and our own war-mongering Uniparty members. Looking at you in Hell, John McPain, and your other "esteemed senators" who made the pilgrimage to scoop up their graft...like Miss Lindsey.

The war started because we (Obama) wanted to keep a boogie man around and used Russia. How to get Russia to play the part was having more surrounding countries join NATO. Russia feels threatened and invades Ukraine. Be bold! Let Russia into NATO. We should have in 1989. Have a European Treaty Org. Then we can leave them to themselves

Surrogacy is problematic for a whole host of reasons. It makes procreation and pregnancy transactional, creates morally and ethically reprehensible conundrums, hurts women and babies, has strong overlap with human trafficking, and reeks of corruption. Arguably, the most alarming consequence that comes from the increasingly popular practice of renting wombs, however, is that surrogacy can be easily exploited by pedophiles and abusers to gain proximity to children.

In New Planned Parenthood Ruling, Obama

Upon assuming the bench, all new federal judges take an oath to “faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me … under the Constitution and laws of the United States.” So, why is Massachusetts-based District Court Judge Indira Talwani flouting that pledge? On Monday, the Obama appointee (and Democrat donor) issued a revised preliminary injunction that attempts to block provisions from a recently passed law prohibiting the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Talwani previously handed down a similar overreaching injunction in the case last week after initially granting the pro-abortion plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order earlier this month.

In Catholic churches across Manhattan and Brooklyn, Salomé captivated the congregation, uplifting the faithful with her soulful singing and skilled organ playing. The New York Archdiocese Organist Training Program enrollee’s musical gifts had her booking gigs across the city. But for years, Salomé’s bashful smile and angelic voice concealed a secret — one not even known in the shadows of the confessional. She was a he; Salomé was born Miles. His story is one that’s becoming all too familiar: A child with unconventional interests, swayed by strange ideologies on the Internet, is hustled by doctors into a life of medical dependency — only to find himself questioning everything years later.

The records, which are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Comey and other top intelligence officials for their roles in launching the Russia collusion hoax, provide damning evidence of Obama intelligence chiefs’ malfeasance beyond the explosive information released Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou is criticizing the trade deal struck by President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as an act of “submission” by the European Union (EU). “It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, united to affirm their values and defend their interests, resolves to submission,” Bayrou said in a post on social platform X early Monday. The agreement sets tariffs at 15 percent for European imports, including automobiles.

The scandal-scarred independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a shocking new poll found. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions. Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.
