Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy: From starring
as president on TV to leading the country
in real life

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 8/18/2025 8:17:58 PM

In 2003, Volodymyr Zelenskyy founded the production company Studio Kvartal 95 with school friends. Kvartal 95 produces films, cartoons and comedy shows, including “Servant of the People,” perhaps Zelenskyy’s most well-known role other than the highest seat in Ukraine. Kvartal 95 registered Servant of the People as a political party in Ukraine in 2018 to promote Zelenskyy’s campaign. In this photo, Zelenskyy takes part in the production of the television series "Servant of the People" on March 6, 2019.

First and foremost, Zelenskyy manages a laundry where the Biden family took their soiled underwear to be cleaned.

The media constantly puffs this guy up while attempting to diminish Trump at every opportunity. No wonder no one believes them anymore. We see the difference between these two men is the opposite of what they report.

Omigosh, OP, it’s too early in the morning for a love letter to Zelenskyy.

Another preventable tragedy has shown the world just how dangerous America’s roads have become. Three innocent lives were snuffed out when an illegal Indian truck driver, Harjinder Singh, made an insane u-turn on a Florida turnpike.If Singh’s name sounds familiar, it’s because there are unconfirmed reports that he is the same inept (illegal) driver who, a few years back, took out a historic Arkansas bridge after ignoring the posted warning signs. Either way, he should never have been on the road to begin with, yet here we are, with three more victims and a national scandal that’s now impossible to ignore.

Zelensky's maximalist position, supported by the UK, France and Germany, is at odds with public opinion in Ukraine. A new, dramatic Gallup Poll makes clear that Zelensky and his hardline clique don't represent what Ukrainians want.Here is what Gallup reports:"More than three years into the war, Ukrainians’ support for continuing to fight until victory has hit a new low. In Gallup’s most recent poll of Ukraine — conducted in early July — 69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory. This marks a nearly complete reversal from public opinion in 2022, when 73% favored

Jack is the 32 year old-son of Caroline and Edwin Schlossberg. Hines' husband RFK Jr is the son of Robert 'Bobby' Kennedy, who was President John F. Kennedy's brother.

Bob Menendez advised Egyptian officials how to cover up their part in the grisly murder of Saudi Arabian dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This was an egregious human rights abuse and the biggest betrayal to the values he was elected to uphold as a US senator. The disgraced former New Jersey Democrat — now serving an 11-year sentence for corruption and conspiracy to act as a foreign agent for Egypt and Qatar — had coached his high-level Egyptian contacts how to respond to a grilling about Khashoggi’s assassination in a Saudi embassy before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in June 2021, court records show.

John Oliver skewered Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for his decades-long fixation on an imaginary Long Island couple – Joe and Eileen Bailey – questioning why the Democratic leader has allowed non-existent voters to justify his political instincts. In a series of clips from years past, Oliver rolled out the Baileys’ lore, as told by Schumer, on Last Week Tonight. The Baileys, according to the Democrat’s own telling, are a middle-class duo from Massapequa whose political journey began as Reagan Republicans in 1980, “Schumer first introduced the world to the Baileys in his 2007 book, Positively American, winning back the middle-class majority, one family at a time,” the host said.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Aug. 14 declined to block a Mississippi law restricting minors’ access to social media platforms. The court did not explain its new ruling in NetChoice LLC v. Fitch. NetChoice, a trade association for internet companies, filed an emergency application last month after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit lifted a federal district court’s injunction that shielded several platforms from the law’s requirements. NetChoice argues the state law violates First Amendment free speech protections.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the upcoming summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump. Bessent notes the backseat demands from EU leaders with their position on the Trump negotiation strategy has worn thin amid their hypocrisy. “It’s time to put up or shut up,” Bessent says, when talking about how the EU is still facilitating the economic purchases of Russian energy products, while simultaneously demanding Trump do this and that.

Hurricane Erin strengthened back into a Category 4 behemoth over the weekend, the latest shift in what has been a remarkably fast-changing storm. The hurricane’s behavior in recent days makes it one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record and yet another indication that climate change is increasing the risk of rapidly intensifying storms. Erin became the first hurricane of this year’s Atlantic season Friday and exploded in strength from a Category 1 into a Category 5 storm in a little over 24 hours. Even after it weakened and re-strengthened into a Category 4 storm, Erin’s jaw-dropping transformation ranks it among the five storms

It turns out many Americans aren’t great at identifying which personal decisions contribute most to climate change. A study recently published by the National Academy of Sciences found that when asked to rank actions, such as swapping a car that uses gasoline for an electric one, carpooling or reducing food waste, participants weren’t very accurate when assessing how much those actions contributed to climate change, which is caused mostly by the release of greenhouse gases that happen when fuels like gasoline, oil and coal are burned. “People over-assign impact to actually pretty low-impact actions such as recycling, and underestimate the actual carbon impact of behaviors much more carbon intensive,

It has always been hard to believe that the truck-bombing of the A.P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people, including 19 children at a daycare center, was planned by just one or two perpetrators acting alone. However, the official story states that the mastermind was Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh, and that the two others sentenced with him only helped him in various ways. Right from the start, warning signs indicated that the investigation was being misled. The FBI developed a story claiming that a group called the Patriots Movement, which included anti-government extremists and white supremacists, was responsible for the attack.

The controversial life and shocking death of financial fixer and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein won a second of round of heavy media coverage after claims were made that Donald Trump knew Epstein. But Americans of all political stripes mostly agree on one thing: Epstein did not commit suicide, but was murdered, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll. The online national poll, taken by 1,362 adults, asked four questions total about Epstein’s controversial life. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points. The first, and possibly most controversial, question asked: “Did Jeffrey Epstein die by suicide or was he murdered?”
