He promised to run the country like he ran his business. It ended with Rudy Giuliani outside Four Season Total Landscaping next to a dildo shop, after a staffer mistakenly thought the empty parking lot was a Four Seasons hotel.

⚡️For the first time in nearly three years, the initiative in the war appears to be shifting toward Ukraine, — The Economist The magazine writes that Ukraine is gradually changing the course of the war and inflicting increasingly serious damage on Russia. Key points: 1⃣Russia’s spring offensive has effectively failed; 2⃣in April, Russian forces suffered net territorial losses for the first time since August 2024; 3⃣over the past 30 days, Russia lost control of 113 square kilometers; 4⃣Ukrainian drones are striking deeper and deeper into Russia’s rear areas; 5⃣military and economic targets are being hit nearly 2,000 km from the border. The Economist describes the situation as a potential turning point in the war. 💬 “If you had to brief Putin, the picture would look pretty grim.”

KALLAS: First, giving Russia right to appoint negotiator on our behalf would not be very wise. Second, Schröder has been high-level lobbyist for Russian state-owned companies, it’s clear why Putin wants him as negotiator. He would actually be sitting on both sides of the table.

Trump: «Xi Jinping è un uomo buono e intelligente». Ricapitolando. In questi mesi il presidente degli Stati Uniti ha lodato Putin, Kim Jong-un, Orbán, Netanyahu, Lukashenko, Xi Jinping. E ha attaccato: Papa Leone XIV, Meloni, Macron, Starmer, Merz, Sanchez e la NATO.

“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf.” 😅
Pastor Mark Burns@pastormarkburns

Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump. Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America. It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed. Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world. I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly. I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible. Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence. And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful. God bless President Trump. God bless every Patriot. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸 #PresidentTrump #SpiritualDiplomats #TrumpDoral #TrumpStatueDedication #AmericaFirst #PatriotMovement #FaithFreedomPatriotism

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpowe…

Never forget that what really frightens him is democracy Because all the NATO countries are democracies Except for the United States of America, of course Which is Russia's ally...
SPRAVDI — Stratcom Centre@StratcomCentre

Increasingly frantic statements from the Russian dictator following the humiliating parade experience – now admitting that he started the war in Ukraine to punish them for their desire to join the EU and that he intends to do the same to Armenia.

On one side of the Atlantic, you have a 79-year-old former game show host who believes windmills cause cancer, personally ended a war that hasn’t ended, and that crowd sizes at his inauguration defied the known laws of mathematics. On the other side, you have a 72-year-old ex-KGB man who has just accused Finland of secretly plotting to invade Russia. Finland. Famous for saunas, reindeer, and minding their own business since approximately the Bronze Age. Putin’s reasoning, delivered with the solemn authority of a man who hasn’t slept since 2003, was this: Finland joined NATO because they were waiting. Biding their time. Lurking. Ready to swoop in and grab Russian territory the moment Russia collapsed. “Swoop in and grab what they could,” he said. This is a man who sent 200,000 troops across an internationally recognised border, seized territory by force, and has spent four years reducing Ukrainian cities to rubble. Describing someone else as the type who swoops in and grabs what they can. The psychological term is projection. The clinical term is considerably less polite. Meanwhile, across the ocean, the other one is imposing tariffs on islands inhabited exclusively by penguins and receiving world leaders at a golf club in Florida as though the White House is simply too far to drive. Two old men. Two fantasy worlds. Zero connection to observable reality. The Cold War at least had the decency to be frightening. This is just embarrassing. When your entire worldview runs on paranoia, grievance, and whatever the Kremlin version of Fox News feeds you at 3am, a fence looks like an invasion. A neighbour looks like a threat. And five million Finns quietly getting on with their lives looks like a geopolitical conspiracy. x.com/nexta_tv/statu…

One off the biggest mistakes of the Biden Administration…a failure to recognize that helping Ukraine defeat Russia was achievable and in America‘s strategic interest.
Colby Badhwar@ColbyBadhwar

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Biden Admin alums like Jake Sullivan continue to argue that giving more weapons, more quickly, such as ATACMS, wouldn't have made a difference. A talking point debunked by General Cavoli. Panetta is correct and Sullivan is wrong, unsurprisingly.

Trump claimed that Putin agreed to a prison swap in return for Zelenskyy agreeing to a ceasefire so Putin could hold his parade in peace. Now it looks like Putin reneged on the deal. Will Trump respond? Or just rollover again?

1/5 Fascists posing as anti-fascists: As Putin oversees another pathetic ”Victory Day” parade, it’s time to dismantle the myth of Russia’s moral superiority over Nazism. Moscow fought for survival, not principle. They were Hitler’s partners/allies until he betrayed them

Elon Musk has made $500 billion since Trump took office. Elon wants to eliminate Social Security because it pays out $500 Billion a year. He says YOUR money is an entitlement that you're not entitled to. This is what Maga voted for.

Today the Venice Biennale opens and Russia has spent millions parading their “culture” at a shiny pavilion. In reality, they bombed over 2,600 hospitals, maternity wards, and schools since 2022. That’s Russian culture.

The Russian dictator hurries off stage into a waiting vehicle, after the shortest May 9th parade on record, with no military vehicles, and no world leaders of consequence AFTER begging Zelensky to allow it.
