During an interview with Brian Kilmeade, President Donald Trump sounds like he is battling the same cold as me. However, on the serious side, President Trump goes through the geopolitical map of challenges being faced and gives a brutally honest perspective on the current status. At 06:30 of the interview, President Trump outlines his current opinion on the Ukraine President and the reason for it. President Trump talks about the simple process of creating a surety (rare earth minerals) for U.S. taxpayer funds that have been sent to Zelenskyy, and the outline of a deal the people who control Zelenskyy ultimately rejected.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Feb. 21 declined to allow the Trump administration to immediately fire Office of Special Counsel chief Hampton Dellinger.
The court ruled that, at least for the time being, it will allow a temporary block of Dellinger’s firing to stand until it expires next week.
The application by the Trump administration to undo the order which is set to expire on Feb. 26, will be “held in abeyance”—or delay action—until that date.The Trump administration argued it had the authority to fire Dellinger even though he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Feb. 16 to allow it to fire

The University of Notre Dame has been on a decades-long warpath of undermining its Catholic mission at the altar of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology. But that drive could be on a collision course with the Trump administration’s threat to revoke federal funding from DEI schools.
Just before the Jan. 20 inauguration of President Donald Trump, Notre Dame Provost John McGreevy sent a faculty-wide email stating that the hiring priorities of the school were to increase “the number of women and underrepresented minorities” and that those DEI goals were “equally important” to hiring Catholic faculty.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has charged that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to “hustle” the US by claiming in public that he unilaterally rejected a deal to sign away half of his nation’s rare earth minerals — while telling American negotiators in private that he would discuss the matter with Kyiv’s legislature.
Rubio said the misrepresentation enraged him, Vice President JD Vance, and Russia and Ukraine special envoy Keith Kellogg after the trio met Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference last weekend and discussed the finer points of the $500 billion economic investment deal, which the Trump administration has described as a security guarantee to Kyiv.
As we walk in the deep weeds of how the Russia/Ukraine conflict and negotiated peace agreement (likely ceasefire) is unfolding, each granular step is worth reviewing.

A recent study indexed each U.S. state, which was weighted by 49 different factors that would determine the habitability of each state.No one's ever really ready to face the loss of a loved one. That's why safety matters so much—it's behind every decision we make to keep ourselves and our families healthy. We can spend hours on Google digging into stats about the safest cities, but it can feel like piecing together a giant puzzle.
Thanks to a recent comprehensive study, we now have a clear understanding of which states to be cautious of. The data used in the study is sourced from FBI Crime Data Explorer, Centers for Disease Control
Russia Has Retaken Two-Thirds of Its Territory

in Kursk From Ukraine, General Says Adam Morrow 3 replies
Russia has retaken more than 300 square miles of territory in Kursk since Ukraine carried out a cross-border offensive into the Russian border region in summer 2024, a top Russian general has said.
Speaking to Russia’s Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper, Russian Col. Gen. Sergei Rudskoi said on Feb. 20 that the retaken territory accounts for 64 percent of all land initially captured by Ukraine in its cross-border offensive.
Kyiv has yet to comment on the general’s assertions, which The Epoch Times could not independently verify.
Over the past decade, a growing divide has emerged within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), as denominational leaders have increasingly framed left-leaning border policies as a Christian imperative.
Last week, Baptist Press, the official news service of the SBC, published an article by Trevin Wax, a vice president at the SBC’s North American Mission Board, in which he defended his denomination’s participation in “refugee resettlement” against those he claimed have a “deep misunderstanding of how disaster relief, foster care or refugee resettlement takes place.”
In his first weeks holding office, President Donald Trump has done far more than any Republican in recent history to restore the justice system, eliminate radical DEI, and dismantle the unelected bureaucracy. But what would stop a future Democrat president from undoing this? (snip)Through executive orders, Trump has brought the censorship-industrial complex to the brink of death. He has taken steps to protect children from genital mutilation in the form of “transgender” surgeries. He has sent DEI to die.

Events are continuing to develop after the initial meeting of top American and Russian officials in Riyadh, KSA. The #1 priority that SecState Rubio presented after the meeting was the reestablishment of normal diplomatic relations between the US and Russia. Today we hear that Putin, having heard what FM Lavrov had to say after the meeting—presumably that Trump isn’t trying to play any “Gypsy tricks”—has agreed to this important step:
Last weekend French President Emmanual Macron organized an emergency meeting in Paris with leaders from the European Union to address the unfolding crisis of President Trump organizing a ceasefire and peace in the war between Ukraine and Russia.
The outcome of the meeting was what would be expected. Each member of the EU said they would not put their military forces into a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine if the United States were not leading the effort. Having previously warned the NATO alliance to step-up their military spending, President Trump has no intention of putting U.S. troops into a regional conflict that affects Europe.

In Funding For ‘Social Justice Activism’
Teacher Training 14 replies
The U.S. Department of Education announced Monday it cut over $600 million in grants spent on training teachers in “social justice activism,” critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology.
The grants were used to fund institutions and nonprofits involved in training teachers on concepts like “anti-racism” and claims about white privilege and white supremacy. The grants also helped fund discriminatory staff recruiting strategies that targeted candidates based on their race.
“It’s hard to overstate how radical these teacher trainings are — we are talking about forcing teachers to talk about their race at work, asking educators to ‘take personal and institutional responsibility for systemic inequities,’ promoting abolitionist

Leading doctors are warning that President Donald Trump is potentially letting one of the world's deadliest infections take hold in the US following his freeze on global health aid.
Dr Amesh Adalja, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg school of public health, told DailyMail.com that mpox - formerly known as monkeypox - could become a real global emergency in the wake of Trump's drastic move.
In August 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox a 'public health emergency of international concern', following a surge in cases in the The US government, up until now, has maintained partnerships in global health security and development with the DRC and throughout Africa,
During an appearance on Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” long-time Democrat strategist and media commentator James Carville declared the collapse of President Donald Trump to be underway already.
Carville, who predicted former Vice President Kamala Harris would be elected to the presidency last November, cited polling and urged Democrats to “just sit back” and let the so-called “collapse” take place.
“[L]et me back up,” he said. “We went with our seven-string quarterback, and we lost by a point and a half, and we actually picked up a congressional seat. So, if you’re asking me, did I think that she was going to win and she didn’t win? Yes,
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum filed a controversial series of changes to the country’s constitution that would essentially block any investigation or action by foreign law enforcement agencies without their permission. The provisions could enable Mexico to criminally pursue anyone involved in those investigations. The changes come after the United States designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and announced the intent to eradicate them.
This week, Sheinbaum filed a series of changes to the country’s constitution that, if approved by the legislative branch, would change Articles 40 and 19 of Mexico’s constitution.

After Hamas terrorists paraded the coffins of the Bibas children around Gaza before their Thursday release, it was hard to imagine that there was any room for the family’s tragic ordeal to get even worse. And yet, somehow it has.
A short while ago, the Israel Defense Forces announced a forensics examination identified Kfir and Ariel Bibas (who were nine months old and four years old at the time of their abduction) as two of the bodies returned by Hamas, determining that they were brutally murdered in November 2023.
While this tragic news was expected, another detail came as a shock: “During the identification process, it was determined

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett disclosed on Friday that she is “rooting for” Canada and Mexico due to their opposition to President Donald Trump’s administration. Trump influenced both Canada and Mexico to pledge on Feb. 3 to bolster their border security efforts with the United States in exchange for a 30-day pause on the 25% tariffs he had announced. Crockett, on “The Breakfast Club,” admitted it is “really wild” that she is supporting these nations over her own, but said she appreciated their defiance of the Trump administration.
The Trump administration is considering steps that could give it more control over the independent US Postal Service, according to multiple published reports. It’s a move that could upend how Americans get critical deliveries including online purchases, prescription drugs, checks and vote-by-mail ballots.
The Washington Post first reported late Thursday, citing numerous anonymous sources, that President Donald Trump planned to disband the US Postal Service’s Board of Governors and place the agency under direct control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. The Wall Street Journal also Friday reported on the plan to dissolve the commission, citing government officials.
The Postal Service did not respond to requests for comment.

layoffs: sources 20 replies
The fiery hosts at ABC’s “The View” have faced pressure to dial back their anti-President Trump rhetoric — even as “morale is low” among staffers following layoffs and unpopular cost-cutting moves, The Post has learned.
A source close to the show’s co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — said the mood on the set is increasingly tense at the daytime talk show.
That’s partly because Brian Teta, executive producer of “The View,” spoke to staffers about “going easy” on Trump-related commentary in the days leading up to the 47th president taking the oath of office,
President Donald Trump announced Thursday his intention to personally inspect the United States’ gold reserves housed at Fort Knox.
This announcement comes amid growing speculation regarding the actual contents of the United States Bullion Depository.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has called for a long-overdue audit of the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox—reportedly something that hasn’t happened in nearly 50 years.

Democrats have remained notably silent since Kash Patel became the first "person of color" to head the FBI, after previously emphasizing diversity and representation on the campaign trail and during the Biden era.
Patel, a fervent Trump ally, underwent a rocky path to confirmation, with Democrats on the panel attempting to delay the vote earlier this month and continuing to protest his nomination into Thursday.
Despite the criticism, Democrats have yet to make note of Patel, who is Indian-American, making history as the first "person of color" FBI director.
Hooters - known for its scantily-clad waitresses - is the latest American restaurant chain facing financial problems.
Bosses at the chain are in urgent talks with lenders and advisers as the popular chain tries to address $300 million of debts, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Earlier this year, Hooters shuttered around 40 'underperforming' restaurants including locations Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia as it bid to cut costs.
But debts are mounting and more drastic action is needed for the 41-year-old brand.
If Hooters cannot refinance its debt, it would have to consider bankruptcy and more closures.

In a historic and unprecedented move, the Trump administration on Friday night fired the Joint Chiefs chairman, the Navy's top officer, the Air Force vice chief of staff, and the judge advocates general of three service branches.
President Donald Trump, in a social media post, announced the firing of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown and nominated currently retired and little known Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine to take the post.
Then, minutes later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that he had fired the Navy's top officer -- Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to hold the post
The Trump administration is making good on its promise to drain the swamp and restore law and order, as Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired Pamela Hicks from her role as Chief Counsel of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump made it clear last week that he would eliminate all Biden-appointed U.S. Attorneys who contributed to the weaponization of the justice system.
