So Biden got angry at Zelensky too. Did that make him Putin's tool?
Facebook - Harriett Lublin - Mackubin Owens
Remember this ? Let’s be clear:
1) Those who support continued war have no plan for victory for Ukraine.
2) A Ukrainian military victory would require foreign troops and enormous increase in armaments. I have yet to hear any European country or U.S. politician willing to support that.
3) Standing with Ukraine now amounts to sympathy advocating unlimited death.
4) sometimes in life you have to make an imperfect deal and wait to succeed another day.
5) US investment in Ukraine holds more promise than unlimited war.
- Well, independently of that, the practical answer is that Putin got much more of what he wanted when Biden was president than he did from Trump.

Trump's Pentagon explains transgenderism 'incompatible' with military mission * WorldNetDaily * by Hudson Crozier, Daily Caller News Foundation
Trump's Pentagon explains transgenderism 'incompatible' with military mission * WorldNetDaily * by Hudson Crozier, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Aside from creating medical "constraints," calling oneself transgender "conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle," Trump's executive order said. "A man's assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member."
California's Other Dodgers: Pols Exploiting a Golden Gateway to Murky 'Behested Payments' | RealClearInvestigations
This wildfire is in the past, but a political firestorm arose soon after, over "behested payments." - By Ana Kasparian, 
Questions regarding these funds, called behested payments, arose during fierce backlash over Bass’ decision earlier this month to appoint former L.A. Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff as her chief recovery officer.
The loophole allows elected officials to solicit unlimited sums of money from donors.
- The Los Angeles Times reported that Soboroff was to be paid $500,000 for a mere 90 days of work. His business partner and real estate executive Randy Johnson was also hired to work with Soboroff at a salary of $250,000.
The loophole allows elected officials to solicit unlimited sums of money from donors.
While the money is not sent directly to officeholders, they control the cash indirectly through charities and nonprofits that make the tax-deductible donations at their behest.
This may not be bribery in the classic or even legal sense, but it’s easy to see how, at best, the “quo” in a “quid pro quo” would be enabling a politician’s better performance on the job in the public interest...

Biden granted billions to 'green' org whose top execs gave generously to Dems * WorldNetDaily * by Nick Pope, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"It is plain to see that the organization is intended to be a slush fund for bailing out the floundering green energy investments of the Democratic Party's biggest donors."
Notably, two other groups that the Biden EPA picked to receive billions of taxpayer dollars — Power Forward Communities and Climate United — are also loaded with Democrat insiders, the DCNF reported previously. The political connections that each of these recipients possess caught the attention of congressional Republicans in May 2024, and current EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is working to claw back as much cash from the GGRF as possible.
Biden's world-----Left Wing DA Declined To Charge Sex Offender Who Exposed Himself To Children In Women’s Locker Room
Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano allegedly declined to prosecute a registered sex offender because the man’s transgender identity and a county policy shielded him from any wrongdoing. - Jaryn Richard Cox was arrested in December of 2024 in Arlington County after several parents claimed a man had exposed himself to young girls in the Arlington Aquatic Center women’s locker room, which shares facilities with Washington Liberty-High School.
The man, who claims to be a transgender woman, was also allegedly caught exposing himself in several other locations throughout Arlington and Fairfax counties over the course of several months but was not charged by Descano due to the county’s policy allowing facility use based on gender identity, according to police records obtained by ABC 7 News.
Due to this policy, Descano found no crime was committed by Cox, despite having allegedly exposed himself to several women and children, ABC 7 News reported...

The graphic displays the number of publicly traded companies created in the last 50 years with a market cap in excess of $100 billion.
On the left is the US and on the right is the EU. - Randy Bock
Each cure represents one company and the relative sizes of the circles represent the market cap or value of each company.
Here’s the shocker.
Here’s the shocker.
On the left is the US and on the right is the EU.
- Any one of the major US companies is worth far more than every company created in the EU in the last 50 years.
Fascinating!!-----Special Edition: yesterday's Jeffrey Epstein non-event was bigger and wilder than anyone realized. Let's connect some crazy dots, C&C style.
Let’s try to make some sense out of yesterday’s Epstein catastrophe. Newsweek’s headline blared, “Jeffrey Epstein file release "debacle" unites both sides.” - Jeff Childers 
Was the disastrous non-disclosure an unforced error —case not closed— or are there pieces we should try to connect into a fascinating flex by the Trump team?...
- First, who ran Epstein?
Nobody believes that the shady prep school science teacher suddenly became a billionaire “international man of mystery” through his own genius...
Was Epstein run by CIA? Mossad? The Mafia? All three, working together?
Was Epstein run by CIA? Mossad? The Mafia? All three, working together?
- Second, what was he really up to?
Epstein’s wing-woman and deputy sex wrangler —his handler?— was Madame Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of British media scion Robert Maxwell. Daddy Maxwell was deeply tied to British MI6, the CIA, and Mossad.
- In her spare time, Ghislaine also ran a bunch of bizarre “international charities,” including one intended to build a giant underwater city (a joint venture with the Clinton Foundation). She even had a submarine driver’s license.
- I am not making that up. It’s classic Bond villain stuff. And I would bet a year’s salary —plus my kid’s bicycles— that Maxwell’s charities were funded with USAID money, one way or another...
Excellent analysis-----What the Heck Was Zelensky Thinking? By Bonchie
So what exactly happened?That's a good question because I have no idea what Zelensky was thinking.
This was not a situation where President Donald Trump was beating him over the head or demanding he submit to a specific narrative surrounding the war in Ukraine.
On the contrary, the meeting was essentially over when Zelensky decided it'd be a great idea to try to publicly embarrass Trump and Vice President JD Vance in front of the press...
This was a colossal miscalculation by Zelensky.
This was a colossal miscalculation by Zelensky.
- Trump has never accepted the idea that Ukraine is doing the United States a favor by fighting Russia as a way of justifying unlimited aid.
- Perhaps Joe Biden found that argument persuasive, but Joe Biden is not in office anymore.
Russia is not going to invade the United States or any NATO country (if for no other reason than a lack of capability), and using that as a type of blackmail for support was never going to play...
Fairness or being "right" doesn't factor into a situation like this. Zelensky is in a desperate spot, and Trump had largely acquiesced to a very Ukraine-friendly deal over the last few days (including lowering the repayment amount to just $90 billion).
Fairness or being "right" doesn't factor into a situation like this. Zelensky is in a desperate spot, and Trump had largely acquiesced to a very Ukraine-friendly deal over the last few days (including lowering the repayment amount to just $90 billion).
The negotiations were over.
- All the Ukrainian president had to do was show up, shake hands, smile for the cameras, and sign the deal.
- His attempt to lecture Trump and Vance for the cameras was an ego move that he didn't have the leverage to pull off...
