…and just like that, Nigel Farage exposes himself as a London Mile lackey.
Good Grief.
Did Farage just come out of the political closet? Perhaps Elon Musk was right about Farage. Do we have to play Farage whack-a-mole now?
Farage you Moron!
President Trump won’t go for that. That has been the problem for Russia from the very beginning. They don’t want nuclear weapons on their border and that little green gnome is not trustworthy. JMHO
The whole Ukraine war thing started because NATO stepped over a previously agreed upon border with Russia.
NATO loves to start wars, apparently.

I’m tired of hearing that Elon Musk and DOGE are unelected. So are the IRS, Social Security, Medicare and millions of other government employees who have access to sensitive data. Bank account, social Security numbers etc. What is only the President and Congress allowed to access government payment details. Such BS.
They are unelected like 99+% of the Administrative State.
So if one of the big accounting forms is hired to do an audit does the entity and everyone on the audit team have to be approved by the Senate?
Same with everyone that works for the gubmint and everyone contracted by the gubmint that has data access to gubmint systems?
It gets worse than that – they also argued that only UNelected personal who are career BUREAUCRATS should be allowed to access the data and that the head of the executive branch and his designated staff can’t.
So were the heads of every government department. I hate stupid people.
Wouldn’t it be nice if some alt media reporters who are now allowed into the press conferences asked the people complaining about Elon not being elected to comment on all the other unelected govt. employees who have access to sensitive material? Sometimes the obvious questions are never asked/answered. I wonder why.
A “version of events” from Axios:
Scoop — Zelensky to Trump: Putin pretends to want peace because he’s “afraid of you”
Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky told President Trump during a phone call on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is only pretending to want to negotiate a peace deal because he is “afraid of you,” a Ukrainian official and three other sources with knowledge of the call tell Axios.
Why it matters: Trump’s phone calls with Putin and Zelensky on Wednesday launched his diplomatic effort to push for a deal to end the war in Ukraine, and raised concerns among some NATO allies that Trump might be backing Zelensky into a corner by pushing for talks while taking some of his likely demands off the table.
https://www.axios.com/2025/02/13/zelensky-trump-call-putin-afraid-peace-deal
Have little doubt that the minute, deviant twerp Z said that.
The reality of the situation is that it is an obvious lie that PDJT would immediately recognize as such, as Russia has pressed for peace on a number of occasions since the start of the events – including being hours away from a signed peace deal until Boris Johnson took an emergency flight to Kiev to coerce the twerp into rejecting it.
Darkness Dying
“The nature of the NGO scams is to have a cause that sounds philanthropic, like ‘Save the Orphans of Sadville’ and then they pocket the money and zero actual orphans are helped.” — Elon Musk

You have reason to suspect that what goes on in Washington DC is the greatest racketeering operation ever run on God’s green earth. “A threat to our democracy!” the Party of Chaos spouted incessantly during the election campaign in re: Donald J. Trump. “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” The Washington Post still declares on its name-plate. Yet, who exactly kept the lights off the past four years? Who scrambled the brains of the nation’s management and thinking classes? Who made mental illness aspirational?
You begin to detect that by “our democracy” they actually meant “our everlasting grift.” And it didn’t die in darkness — it thrived, grew, and spread in the moist bureaucratic darkness like the Devil’s own slime mold. And now it is being revealed, to the astonished disgust of slightly more than half the nation that was not on-the-take. Turn over a log in the woods and you have the metaphor for “our democracy.” Countless hundred-footed things slither around under it, their feeding interrupted . . .
USAID was the poster-child for that, a flowering of mutually-referential dollar feedback loops providing six-figure “jobs” and non-stop cocktail partying for the elite surplus churned out of the left’s training academies, Harvard, Brown, Yale — with a whopping vig paid to congress-persons and senators who disbursed massive taxpayer funding for each newly-sprouted org dedicated to the uplift of the “marginalized and oppressed.”
Of course, that was merely the feeding frenzy of the small fish on the surface. Deeper down, the money-flow was going to much more demonic enterprises: the color revolution gang in the CIA, State Department, and God knows what other surreptitious agencies. . . Antifa and BLM (the Democratic Party’s shock troops) . . . the news industry (now completely corrupted into a global mind-f*****g operation) . . . and, we’ve learned recently, the care-and-feeding of twenty-million illegal aliens ushered into our country by the “Joe Biden” / Al Mayorkas travel agency.
So apparently NGO stands for Notorious Governmental Organization
High-Explosive Drone Pierces Shell Of Chernobyl Nuclear Plant At Very Moment Trump Pushes Ukraine Toward Peace
Feb 14, 2025
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/high-explosive-drone-pierces-shell-chernobyl-nuclear-plant-very-moment-trump-pushes
On Friday just prior to high-level meetings among Western security officials and Ukrainian leadership commencing in Munich, including US Vice President J.D. Vance and Zelensky, there was a dangerous incident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine’s Kyiv oblast.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky accused Russia of launching a drone equipped with a high-explosive warhead at the historic, defunct power plant, site of the April 1986 nuclear disaster and meltdown. The drone reportedly hit the protective containment shell of the Chernobyl plant.
Absolutely not buying this story. Who would gain from a drone hitting this containment dome? The Ukraine/NATO or Russia?
Maybe the US has a spy satellite which can reveal the truth here? Maybe the Russians can although their proof would have to be overwhelming.
See Eye A.
YOU MEAN THE CIA?
YEAH. THE CIA DID THIS TO SABOTAGE PEACE TALKS.
BLOODTHIRSTY KILLERS AT THE CIA CAN’T GET ENOUGH DEATH.
We bind the Blood Money plans and Cannon Fodder schemes of the wicked, Lord, and call forth Your Glory over the nations, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
Amos 2
14
The swift will not escape,
the strong will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.
15
The archer will not stand his ground,
the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
and the horseman will not save his life.
16
Even the bravest warriors
will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.
Yes, Mighty Father!
Neither!
Let’s assume for this discussion that there was a possibility that this could have damaged the containment and there was a release.
Which way does the wind blow? Probably not them.
Who would risk contaminating land, crops, water, people and livestock?
I heard it was the same Russian team that blow the pipeline.

Trump and Musk Team Up in Exclusive Interview, and Laugh Off Media’s Attempts to Divide Them

PDJT could issue an executive order firing the entire support staff of the District Court Judges who are issuing nationwide TRO’s against his legal actions.In addition he issues a second order mandating his own hand selected replacements. The DC Judges would then respond by ignoring the order on the basis that the court, being an independent and co-equal branch of government the Judge alone has the power to hire and fire the courts employees. The President then would have the political cover to ignore the DC Judges TRO’s and argue to the voters that it is actually the inferior court Judges that are overreaching by exerting power over the office of the President while insulating themselves from that same interference.
Daughters of Target’s late cofounder raise concern over company’s pullback on DEI efforts
February 14, 2025
-snipped-
We are alarmed how quickly the business community has given in to the current administration’s retaliatory threats,” the daughters wrote…
They added that, “By cowering, Target and others are undermining the very principles that have made their companies a success.”
Target declined to comment.
In late January, Target said the changes to its “Belonging at the Bullseye” strategy would include ending a program it established to help Black employees build meaningful careers, improve the experience of Black shoppers and to promote Black-owned businesses following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.
…The company also said that it would conclude the diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, goals it previously set in three-year cycles.
Walmart, McDonald’s, Ford, Goldman Sachs, and John Deere are among the well-known consumer brands that reduced or phased out their DEI commitments in recent months.

EXCLUSIVE: A 40-minute compilation of President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore cutting the federal workforce, eliminating agencies, slashing wasteful spending and regulations, and reducing the deficit. You know, like Trump, Musk, and DOGE.
🔹 In his first weeks, Clinton ordered a 100,000-job reduction in government.
🔹 Over eight years, he cut 380,000 federal jobs—a 16% decrease.
🔹 This was largely driven by the Reinventing Government Initiative (RIGO), spearheaded by Gore to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy.
🔹 The result? The deficit was erased, and the U.S. ran a budget surplus for the first time in decades.
Today, annual interest payments on the national debt have doubled in four years, reaching $1.17 trillion—now exceeding the entire U.S. defense budget. America is $36 trillion in debt. History proves it can be done. The real question: Will D.C. Democrats and activists judges get out of the way so @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk, and@DOGE
can do it again? Can the modern Democratic Party put country over party? Because let’s be honest—DOGE is saving America from financial collapse. 🇺🇸

Yes, about the law suit in front of the corrupt judge, whereby they are trying to complain the Musk isn’t confirmed by the Senate…
Here is an excerpt from an article talking about the resignation of the previous head of USDS who resigned shortly after PDJT won the election:
Whoever fills the job could take on an important role in the organization if that top administrator post isn’t filled soon after the start of the new Trump administration — although the USDS head doesn’t require Senate confirmation and could be installed quickly, said Michelle Amante, vice president of federal workforce programs for the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service.
https://www.nextgov.com/people/2024/11/usds-looks-new-deputy-lead-trump-administration-approaches/401089/
So it has been since its inception.
Originally, USDS was led by a political appointee before the Trump administration changed the job to a two-year career appointment in 2018, said Amante.
In the Biden administration, the top role switched back to an appointee, albeit a different type of appointee than the Obama-era administrator. USDS also gained a new political appointee during the Biden administration called a senior advisor for delivery, per the records the government keeps on political appointees, called the Plum Book.
Here’s the difference ;
The Clinton administration didn’t remove all those people to shave the fat, or to make government more
efficient.
They did it to install loyalists.
However, it is still fun to ram it into the faces of the….. ‘intellectually challenged ‘ democrats.

UPDATE: Judge Chutkan Skeptical of Democrat State AGs’ Request For Emergency TRO to Stop Elon Musk and DOGE
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/update-judge-chutkan-skeptical-democrat-state-ags-request
I don’t think Farage is part of New Evil Empire. I think he just doesn’t grasp the concept. We’re the baddies, old chap. Our President is turning it around, but that has been the situation.
NATO, like every other institution we created to secure our liberties, from libraries to pharmacy boards to district attorneys to election officers to Border Patrols have been deeply corrupted and turned into weapons pointed back at us.
NATO was placed in the hands of the Kagan Cult at State, the CIA, the Biden Crime Family, BlackRock Oligarchs, UNIPARTY Grifters and the Banksters who own Obama. They KNEW that NATO Expansion would cause this war. That is EXACTLY WHY they pushed it. To think that the Cause of the War will somehow End the War is Madness.
But Fake News is chock full of idiots who say the same thing.
I’m not sure even PDT understands that this war was started by the same people who overthrew him in 2020–and was certainly ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY THEY OVERTHREW HIM–TO GET THIS WAR.
RFK explained it well the day he endorsed our President. I think I’ll keep it up on my blog for the duration.
“I want to say a word about the Ukraine war. The military-industrial complex has provided us with that familiar comic book justification like they do on every war. And this one is a noble effort to stop a supervillain, Vladimir Putin, from invading the Ukraine and to thwart his Hitler-like march across Europe.
In fact, tiny Ukraine is a proxy in a geopolitical struggle initiated by the ambitions of the US neocons for American global hegemony. I’m not excusing Putin for invading Ukraine. He had other options, but the war is Russia’s predictable response to the reckless neocon project of extending NATO to encircle Russia: a hostile act. The credulous media rarely explain to Americans that we unilaterally walked away from two intermediate nuclear weapons treaties with Russia and then put nuclear missile systems in Romania and Poland. This is a hostile, hostile act. And the Biden White House repeatedly spurned Russia’s offer to settle this war peacefully.
The Ukraine war began in 2014, when U.S. agencies overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and installed a handpicked pro-Western government. They launched a deadly civil war against ethnic Russians in Ukraine. In 2019, America walked away from a peace treaty, the Minsk Agreement, that had been negotiated between Russia and Ukraine by European nations. And then in April of 2022, we wanted the war. In April 2022, President Biden sent Boris Johnson to Ukraine to force President Zelenskyy to tear up a peace agreement that he and the Russians had already signed. The Russians were withdrawing troops from Kiev, Donbas, and Luhansk. And that peace agreement would have brought peace to the region and would have allowed Donbas and Luhansk to remain part of Ukraine.
President Biden stated that month that his objective in the war was regime change in Russia. His defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, simultaneously explained that America’s purpose in the war was to exhaust the Russian army and to degrade its capacity to fight anywhere else in the world. These objectives, of course, had nothing to do with what they were telling Americans about protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Ukraine is a victim in this war, and it is a victim of the West… both Russia and the West. Since then, we have forced Zelenskyy to tear up the agreement. We’ve squandered the flower of Ukrainian youth. As many as 600,000 Ukrainian kids and over 100,000 [???-ed.] Russian kids, all of whom we should be mourning, have died. And Ukraine’s infrastructure is destroyed.
War has been a disaster for our country, as well. We have squandered nearly $200 billion already. And these are badly needed dollars in our suffering communities all over our country. The Nord Stream pipeline sabotage and the sanctions have destroyed Europe’s industrial base, which form the bulwark of U.S. national security. A strong Germany with a strong industry is a much, much stronger deterrent to Russia than a Germany that is de-industrialized and turned into just an extension of a U.S. military base.
We’ve pushed Russia into a disastrous alliance with China and Iran. We are closer to the brink of nuclear exchange than at any time since 1962. And the neocons in the White House don’t seem to care at all. Our moral authority and our economy are in shambles, and the war gave rise to the emergence of BRICS, which now threatens to replace the dollar as a global reserve currency.
This is a first-class calamity for our country. Judging by the bellicose, belligerent speech last night in Chicago, we can assume that a President Harris will be an enthusiastic advocate for this and other neocon military adventures. President Trump says he will reopen negotiations with President Putin and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes President. This alone would justify my support for his campaign.” …….

A Weaponized FBI: It’s Real, Whistleblowers Testify, Boasting Scars to Prove It
Excerpt:
Democrats have cast the Trump administration’s ouster of eight senior FBI leaders as a “purge” and act of “retribution” from a weaponized Justice Department, some likening it to President Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.”
But former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes.
-snip-
While no findings have been issued regarding that larger probe, the Jan. 31 memo, drafted by Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Emil Bove, suggests a legitimate rationale for terminating the FBI leaders. It notes that the bureau and they themselves were complicit in malfeasance pertaining to the Jan. 6 investigation, the weaponization of security clearances, and resisting Justice Department directives. Consequently, Bove wrote, the DOJ did not trust them “to assist in implementing the President’s agenda faithfully.”
