Zelenskyy Announces Eastern Ukraine Citizens
Will Not Be Allowed to Vote in Elections
Posted By: earlybird, 12/21/2025 1:29:14 PM
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to hold elections if there is a ceasefire. However, eastern Ukraine citizens, those currently living in the Donbas region, who are supportive of Russia, will not be permitted to vote.This creates a rather bizarre official hypocrisy within the Zelenskyy regime. The official position of Zelenskyy is that Eastern Ukraine will never be accepted as a part of the Russian federation. Zelenskyy has recently noted, with EU leadership support, that his government will never recognize Eastern Ukraine as part of the Russian federation. However, this same region, approximately 20% of Ukraine, will not be permitted to participate in his controlled election.

Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?
As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.
“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.
Each day more and more people are starting to realize/notice there are elements of the United States intelligence apparatus that are targeting Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. The need for control is a reaction to fear, and Tulsi Gabbard has the DC Intelligence Community very worried.
What you will read below is something that was written back in 2024 about the potential for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), if President Trump were to win the election.(snip)
Read the roadmap below –Written in 2024– compare it to current events and decide for yourself if this is something that rings a bell and may explain the IC apoplexy.
Michigan and Alabama Republicans took major steps this week to secure their states’ elections from foreign dark money.
The GOP-controlled Michigan House passed legislation (HB 5197) on Thursday that seeks to prohibit foreign nationals from contributing money to ballot initiative campaigns. The measure HB 5197 stipulates that Michigan ballot question committees “shall not knowingly or willfully receive, solicit, or accept contributions from a foreign national, whether directly or indirectly.” 97-6, with seven members not voting.
CTH reader “Charles” asked a great question yesterday that deserves some expansion:
CHARLES: “I’m having some trouble parsing how exfiltrating [deporting] illegal alien workers thereby pushing American wages upward can cause a decrease in inflation. Conventional wisdom for my whole life (73 years) has held that increasing labor costs drive inflation upwards.”
(snip) Charles is essentially correct from a historical reference. However, we are in uncharted territory due to the scale of illegal aliens within the U.S. economy in this modern era. The answer is a commonsense theory(snip)
ANSWER: A much larger percentage of illegal aliens live on various subsidies and govt spending programs than our native American population.
WASHINGTON—The U.S. government has apprehended a key suspect in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on U.S. diplomatic outposts in Benghazi, Libya, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Feb. 6.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Bondi identified the arrested suspect as Zubayar al-Bakoush. Bondi said the FBI apprehended Bakoush, but did not specify where he was found.
Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland at around 3 a.m. local time on Friday.

Ever since the 2020 fiasco, Americans have been told to stop asking questions about elections.(snip) If you ask for clarity or an investigation, it’s treated like some kind of traitorous sabotage. And yet, the doubts haven’t gone away. In fact, they’ve only grown since 2020, and nowadays, talking about it is encouraged.President Trump has been openly signaling that major developments related to the 2020 election are coming, particularly out of Georgia. (snip)Sen. Tommy Tuberville is claiming that six current members of Congress did not actually win their elections. And he’s not talking about candidates or “former” officials. These are sitting lawmakers, right here, right now.

Former Vice President Mike Pence really wants you to think he is a principled man. He really goes on and on about how he, seemingly alone, stands for those bedrock conservative values that made this country great. His foundation, Advancing American Freedom, even boasts “The Conservative Movement Lives Here.”
He’s a constitutional conservative to his core. Until he isn’t.Let’s take election reform. The SAVE Act, the main provision of which is so overwhelmingly popular with normal Americans that it’s only natural that the denizens of the Washington swamp oppose it with near-religious fervor, has stalled in the Senate. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require
The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) delivered the “read and return” intelligence report to congress that sits at the background of an anonymous whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence, DNI Tulsi Gabbard. [CBS Story] In addition to delivering the report, the ICIG also delivered a declassified letter outlining the framework of the backstory [SEE HERE].
I strongly urge people to take a few minutes and read both links above, particularly the pdf of the ICIG report that frames the complaint. In essence, the same playbook the IC tried to create the impeachment narrative against President Trump (2019), they repeated against DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman, Tom Cotton, outlines via his X account that he has reviewed the intelligence community whistleblower complaint being used in a ridiculous effort to impeach DNI Tulsi Gabbard and finds it “not credible.”The entire construct of this CIA-NIC ‘whistleblower’ operation is transparent. We have outlined the basic parameters of the entire fiasco {GO DEEP}. The intelligence community/Lawfare operation is a replay of the 2019 intelligence community/Lawfare operation used to frame Donald Trump during the 2019 impeachment effort.
The good news is the process to identify the subversive agents inside the various offices of the administration continues to yield results. The bad news is there’s a lot of them to identify and remove.
Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shares another leaker has been identified and removed. Additionally, she is referring their conduct to the Dept of Justice for criminal prosecution.Both Noem and Gabbard appear to be continuing their methodical approach without fear or favor. Secretary Noem facing down the internal resistors within the FBI, who have been leaking about ICE enforcement operations. Director Gabbard working through the tentacles of the Intelligence Community

A $250,000 campaign contribution to Iowa State Auditor and gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand (D-IA) was made by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, whose visits to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, New York townhouse, and New Mexico ranch are documented in emails released by the Department of Justice.
The Iowa GOP flagged the donation in a February press release, pointing to Hoffman’s well-documented history with Epstein. Hoffman, a longtime Democrat financier and founder of LinkedIn, is featured in Justice Department documents detailing plans to visit Epstein’s private island,(snip)se. One email from Epstein’s assistant about a 2014 itinerary includes the note, “Reid will take a Virgin America flight… to Fort Lauderdale,” part of travel arrangements

Hillary Clinton attacked House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday as she pushed for a public hearing after she and her husband agreed to testify before the committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “If you want this fight,” she told Comer, “Let’s have it — in public.”
Former President Bill Clinton and his wife are set to testify on their relationship with the disgraced financier before the House Oversight Committee later this month. The plan was put in place after Comer rejected requests for a closed-door deposition and written testimony.
On Thursday, the former Secretary of State accused Comer of “moving the goalposts,”
Minnesota's ICE surge is leaving many with strong feelings of fear and anxiety. Many in the community and mental health experts are finding ways of handling it. "I mean, my last six therapy sessions have been basically all talking about this," said Nate P. (Snip) Fear and uncertainty are taking a toll on the community, with many unsure of how to cope. Mental health concerns are on the rise as immigration enforcement plays out in Minnesota and across the country. "We're seeing the images, it's hard to look away," said Marcus Schmit, executive director of NAMI Minnesota. "People are feeling
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson continues to dismay. Her attendance at the rancidly partisan anti-ICE Grammy Awards on Sunday was a joke. The 55-year-old Biden DEI candidate was nominated for a Grammy for narrating the audiobook of her memoir “Lovely One,” which she unashamedly believes herself to be.
California’s already sky-high gas prices are expected to surge after Valero abruptly shuttered its Benicia refinery amid a spiraling “oil crisis,” a new report claims.
The Benicia refinery began shutting down on Saturday, four months earlier than planned, a former Valero manager told the California Globe Tuesday. Thermal imaging showed the facility went cold as the Crimson Pipeline – which transports crude oil from Southern to Northern California – was also taken offline.
“We are in an unprecedented oil crisis,” oil expert Mike Ariza told the publication.
Valero Energy Corp. announced its plans last spring to pull the plug on its 145,000-barrel-per-day refinery by April,

Traditionally, New York City mayors are supposed to visit injured police officers in the hospital, but Mamdani being such a historical figure is instead visiting a man who tried to stab a police officer in the hospital.
Video shows Jabez Chakraborty lunging with a knife at police officers before an officer shoots him.
Mamdani visited the attempted stabber in the hospital using him as the poster stabber for his police defunding campaign.
“This situation underscores just how urgently we need a different and more effective mental health response system,” Mamdani argued. “Jabez needs mental health treatment, not criminal prosecution by a district attorney.”
An in-depth investigation by City Journal is raising questions about whether a Minneapolis-based anti-ICE network is pushing civilians into dangerous confrontations with federal immigration agents after the shooting deaths of two activists in less than a month. (snip) According to City Journal, one group sits at the center of Minneapolis' anti-ICE movement: Defend the 612. The organization oversees a large network of Signal chats that monitor immigration enforcement, coordinate protests, and mobilize rapid-response actions across Minneapolis neighborhoods. (snip) [City Journal's] investigation found that members and "related officials have encouraged protesters to impede law enforcement; pushed civilians toward legally and physically risky confrontations; and helped mobilize a counter-protest that turned violent."

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has made a move to secure the deliberations, private discussions, and working drafts of the court. According to the New York Times, Roberts is requiring all clerks and permanent staff to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The writer writes about this in a hushed tone, as though she is laying out the plot of a murder mystery. But there is nothing mysterious about the erosion of the court's integrity, which points directly to publications like the NYT and POLITICO happily disseminating what is leaked to them. The chief justice acted after a series of unusual leaks
The Trump administration said Thursday that it has finalized a rule that creates a new government schedule that will make it easier for administrations to fire federal employees it views as hindering its agenda.
The rule, dubbed Schedule Policy/Career, converts a wide range of federal policy-related employees into a status similar to that of political appointees who can be fired at will.
The change is expected to impact up to 50,000 federal workers. Unions have opposed the change, arguing it politicizes the federal workforce, which previously was intended to be neutral and expertise-oriented, according to The Hill. “This is not about people’s views or ideas,"
The leftist domestic terrorists in Minneapolis have seriously injured multiple federal immigration officers and made international headlines with their violence and viciousness. Dazzled by this display of complete catastrophe, The Nation nominated the rioters for the Nobel Peace Prize.
There are times when reality is so far beyond satire that it ceases to be amusing and becomes alarming. Leftists couldn’t give a hoot if the officer Renee Good rammed with her car suffered internal bleeding, or if a Homeland Security officer lost his finger after a leftist bit through it, or if vehicular assaults against federal agents in America are up by 3,300%, with Minneapolis the top hotspot

fire analysis to downplay LA’s failures: report 14 replies
Embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass secretly altered the official Palisades Fire response report to downplay the failures made by the city and fire department when the deadly blaze erupted, a new report said.
Bass, after seeing an early draft of the after-action report, wanted key findings of the Los Angeles Fire Department’s shortcomings scrubbed or watered down — and even warned then-interim Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva the unedited conclusions could expose the city to legal liability, sources close to the Democrat’s staff told the Los Angeles Times.
Bass was cautioned that the self-serving tweaks in with the report was a “bad idea” that could torpedo her political career,
Over 60 percent of illegal immigrant-led households and 51 percent of legal immigrant-led households received some sort of welfare benefits in 2024, compared with just 37 percent of natural-born citizen households taking taxpayer benefits, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration studies. (snip) The Center for Immigration Studies explained that, even in states that do not explicitly provide benefits to illegal immigrants, their households may receive such benefits if they have U.S.-born children. (snip) Food and Medicaid assistance were the most common forms of welfare across immigration statuses.
