Zelenskyy and President Trump Recap Their Conversation
Posted By: earlybird, 2/12/2025 3:40:33 PM
Deep weeds walkers can infer quite a bit from the Zelenskyy pablum, including the necessary photograph that accompanies the text written for him by the CIA. And without a scintilla of doubt, the CIA wrote the Twitter text. Remember, in order to understand the Ukraine dynamic, it’s always World War Reddit, which is high on optics and narrative. Yes, once you fully accept that situation – then you realize President Trump is negotiating with the CIA, through the installed representative we call Volodymyr Zelenskyy. That’s the context.

Vaccine Deep State Insanity

You have all heard the term “Deep State.” (snip) we define the deep state this way: Deep state is a type of governance made up of potentially secret and unauthorized networks of power operating independently of a state’s political leadership in pursuit of their own agenda and goals.
(snip)
Like everything in the US Government, the structure of informal “Deep State” organization is parsed into silos based on subject areas and interests. Those making decisions about which governments are friends, which are to be treated as foes, and which should be targeted for “regime change” are not the same ones making decisions about what biological agents are potential threats,
The U.S. attorney in charge of federal prosecutors in New York City’s borough of Manhattan resigned on Feb. 13 after a directive to drop corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams.
Danielle Sassoon, the interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, has stepped down, a spokesperson for the office confirmed.
Sassoon, a Republican, was elevated to the position on Jan. 21, the day after President Donald Trump took office.Bove said the timing of the charges threatened the case’s integrity because they came after Adams criticized former President Joe Biden’s administration over its handling of immigration. He also said the prosecution “has unduly restricted Mayor Adams’ ability to devote full attention
A federal judge has removed a block he had previously placed on the Trump administration’s buyout program for federal workers, denying unions’ request for a preliminary injunction.
Massachusetts Judge George O'Toole said in a Feb. 12 order that the plaintiffs lacked standing and the court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over their claims.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
WASHINGTON—A new list from the White House assesses the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE’s) financial impact so far at more than $3.4 billion, with substantial savings realized through cuts to the Department of Education.
The latest numbers, provided to The Epoch Times on Feb. 11, include $59 million that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) staff sent to house illegal immigrants in New York City hotels. The White House has sought to claw back that money.
The list also includes a variety of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) contracts and grants, many in the Department of Education, as well as moves against DEI-related directives and policies deemed as out ofstep
President Trump has fired the top watchdog for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) — just as details resurfaced that the controversial agency had bankrolled the college education of an al Qaeda terrorist with ties to 9/11 hijackers.
Paul Martin, who had served as the inspector general since 2023, was informed by a White House official via email Tuesday that his termination was “effective immediately.”
Martin wasn’t given a reason for his firing, a copy of the email shows. The White House wouldn’t comment on his termination.

President Trump said Wednesday that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to begin “negotiations” on ending the Ukraine war.In a post on Truth Social, Trump said they will “work together, very closely.”
The president’s comments came shortly after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told NATO it is “unrealistic” to hope for a return to the version of Ukraine’s borders that existed before Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.(snip)The defense secretary addressed fears that negotiations could embolden Putin by saying that “a durable peace for Ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure that the war won’t begin again.”
However, he said that peace would not involve U.S. troops deployed to Ukraine.
Senator Lindsey Graham (U-DC) was asked for his thoughts and perspectives about USAID today during a press conference.
Senator Lindsey Graham is senior senator in charge of the upper chamber oversight of foreign government influence operations via the “150 account” that supports the goals and objectives of the State Dept.
Senator Lindsey Graham culminates his entire political career in one brief segment of pretending not to know.
We can officially say this moment achieves ‘peak Graham.’ The part where Graham tells former USAID Director Samantha Power to “quit texting me” is epic. WATCH:
he Yellow Berets, also known as Public Health Service trainees, were a group of physicians who participated in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Associate Training Program during the Vietnam War era. They were often derogatorily referred to as "Yellow Berets" by supporters of the war who viewed them as avoiding military service. However, this term eventually became a badge of honor among the participants, many of whom formed a network of influential scientists and medical leaders that continue to dominate the public health enterprise, particularly at NIH. (snip) they have fostered a culture and mentored others that continue to enforce that culture and support the informal networks, alliances
Last Monday, I published “D.C. Federal Judges Join the Resistance.” It focused on one D.C. federal district judge, Beryl Howell, who let her emotions get the better of any prudent legal judgment when she refused to implement the president’s direction to the attorney general to dismiss all pending indictments against Jan. 6 defendants “with prejudice.”
She first vented her spleen against the defendants and President Donald Trump (whom she accused of perpetrating a “revisionist myth”) in a wholly gratuitous screed about why the prosecutions were necessary and proper.(snip) But to show the president who was boss, she refused to dismiss the case with prejudice.
President Donald Trump and King Abdullah II of Jordan are having bilateral meetings today on the Israel v Hamas war and the subsequent issue with displaced Palestinians.
During the first press availability (snip) President Trump and King Abdullah delivered remarks about the regional challenges, approaches and overall perspectives on the issues. (snip) both noted they await the plan from Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi who has been tasked with taking the lead on developing a peaceful solution and broader long-term plan for regional stability.Jordan doesn’t want to take more Palestinian refugees,(snip) Abdullah did say he was going to take 2,000 sick children for care in the kingdom of Jordan.
Every rap fan following the drama of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” track, which disses fellow rapper Drake, was dying to see if he would mention Drake during the Super Bowl halftime show. He did.
Last week, “Not Like Us” won a Grammy Award for best rap performance as well as for song of the year. In January, Drake filed a complaint in federal court against Universal Music Group, saying the song accuses him of being a pedophile.
During Lamar the halftime show, smiled directly at the camera while rapping the lyrics, “Say Drake, I hear you like them young. You better never go to cell block one.”

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) pushed a bizarre explanation for why women might not pursue jobs in manufacturing.
Schakowsky made her remarks on Wednesday during a Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee hearing entitled “AI in Manufacturing: Securing American Leadership in Manufacturing and the Next Generation of Technologies.”
Schakowsky suggested that perhaps the reason fewer women choose a career in manufacturing is that the term has the word “man” in it.
Schakowsky stated, “Yesterday, I met with a manufacturing company, but they also are engaged in getting young people more engaged in manufacturing. I asked them, ‘How many of those students that are signing up and want to do this, how many are women?'”
Former Vice President Kamala Harris would be the Democratic front-runner for governor of California if she jumped into the Golden State’s 2026 race to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), polling shows.
Harris snagged support for a hypothetical gubernatorial bid from nearly 6 in 10 Democratic primary voters in California, 57 percent, according to a survey from Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill.
Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), who left the House to mount an unsuccessful Senate bid last year, followed at 9 percent support.
Ex-Speaker of the California State Assembly Antonio Villaraigosa (D) and sitting Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalaki (D) brought in 4 percent each, and another 17
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said during an interview that Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) final vote against Tulsi Gabbard, the newly sworn-in director of national intelligence, indicates that President Trump’s “cult” can be “broken.”
“Mitch McConnell breaking yesterday with his Republican colleagues telling the truth to power, indicates that maybe the Trump cult, the intimidation and threats can be broken,” Blumenthal said during his Thursday morning appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Our tools are limited. We’re in the minority. They control obviously both houses of Congress and the White House and indirectly the United States Supreme Court,” he added.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth began a tour of Europe Tuesday, starting at the headquarters of US European Command at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany. The newly minted SecDef has a heavy schedule in front of him, inspecting US forces in Europe and dealing with his first meeting with NATO. He is obviously trying to move beyond the controversies associated with his confirmation. He is also trying to lead by example and reverse the cultural rot in the US military by force of will.
Longtime vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy is now the nation’s top health official, after the Senate Thursday voted almost entirely on party lines to confirm him atop a department of nearly 100,000 employees that run 13 agencies.
The 52-48 confirmation vote brings to a close a contentious three-month confirmation fight that served as a significant test of the Republican Party’s loyalty to President Trump.
Only Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) cast a GOP vote against Kennedy’s confirmation, after previously bucking his party on Trump’s defense secretary and national intelligence director.

‘Canonical Penalties’ for Trump Immigration Officials 24 replies
In his first week since being nominated Archbishop of Detroit, Edward Weisenburger denounced Donald Trump’s immigration policies, and criticized the president’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Pope Francis nominated Arizona Bishop Weisenburger for the position on February 11; he is slated to replace outgoing Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron, who resigned from the post in 2023 after serving the diocese since 2009. An Illinois native, Weisenburger comes to Detroit from the city of Tucson, Arizona, where he has been since 2017.
Weisenburger wasted no time after being appointed to attack the Trump administration, taking issue with efforts to eliminate USAID spending.
Current and former employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) sued Elon Musk and his cost-cutting operation, levying the novel argument that the world’s richest man should have been confirmed by the Senate before wielding such enormous power.
The Trump administration, Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have moved in recent weeks to stanch the flow of foreign aid, dismantle the agency responsible for administering it and dismiss thousands of people working for the agency at home and abroad.

Gov't Waste 22 replies
We’ve been reading so much about all the rampant waste in the federal government, from USAID to the Education Department to FEMA, that Elon Musk and DOGE continue to uncover at a staggering pace.
But sometimes you wonder, who are the beneficiaries of all this fraud and waste—where’s the money going? I mean, besides to terrorists, social justice warriors and the like.
Your questions may soon be answered. Grab the popcorn and fluff the couch pillows because Donald Trump told reporters at a briefing in the Oval Office Wednesday afternoon that he plans to name names at a press conference scheduled for Thursday. Responding to a reporter's question, he charged:

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said Thursday that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffers are now examining the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), warning against access to U.S. taxpayer data.
Democrats have sounded the alarm over DOGE and its leader, Elon Musk, attempting to overhaul the U.S. Agency for International Development and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and to gain access into the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
“My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk’s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America,” Wyden wrote in a Thursday post on the social platform X, which Musk owns.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said the quiet part out loud during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Wednesday, revealing the Democrats’ true concerns about DOGE and Elon Musk.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Elon Musk on Tuesday announced DOGE will start looking into federal government workers who have managed to acquire tens of millions of dollars while working on the taxpayer dime.
“We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars
One can't help but notice that, while politicians and political activists on the left are constantly whinging on about political violence and denouncing violent rhetoric at every turn, they sure don't put their money where their constantly-working mouths are. From Lee Harvey Oswald to modern times, the vast majority of political violence - actual violence, not a refusal to use preferred pronouns or wondering why people can't pay for their own sex-reassignment surgeries - has come from the left.
Here's yet another example, and from a sitting Congressman, at that: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called out another Congressman, Robert Garcia (D-CA), on Thursday for calling for "actual weapons"
You've got to hand it to New York's bartender-turned-Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: She's consistent. Every time she opens her mouth - which she does a lot - something stupid comes out. On Thursday, though, we learned that it wasn't a statement from the congresswoman herself that was stupid, but rather an act from her office. It seems her Congressional office has hosted a seminar advising illegal aliens on how to evade repatriation:
The "Know Your Rights With ICE" virtual event was broadcast live on Ocasio-Cortez’s Facebook page, where migrant viewers were informed of how to deal with ICE search requests if officers come calling
