President Trump was asked about the Witkoff and Kusher trip to Moscow, Russia as negotiations for an end to the conflict are ongoing. President Trump noted he had not yet heard from the emissary duo, as he is spending time with media, answering questions and being the most transparent administration in history [Video Here].
In the contextual background, Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov and Special Presidential Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev spent time walking through Moscow center city with Trump Emissaries Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. This is before the meeting with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin.
This move is typical Putin. It’s not a negative per se’, but rather an emphatic narrative contrast intended to draw attention to a Russian/American dichotomy.
This optical presentation was likely coordinated via Yury Ushakov and Steve Witkoff. The optical message is psychological targeting; the city of Moscow -structural order, cleanliness, visual and representative Christmas holiday festival spirit- contrast and compared to the city of Washington DC, chaos, conflict and lack of social cohesion.
Traditional American intelligence review would be angered by what would be deemed psy-op manipulation; however, the reality of the situation doesn’t diminish just because the intent is to emphasize the contrast.
In reality, the Russian system of social cohesion generates these visible outcomes, and yes, there is an authoritarian mechanism that mandates the mechanics of what is inherently visible. The debate, which never takes place, regards the overall outcome, the value in the experience as contrast against the two systems.
Yes, despite our unwillingness to admit benefit, there is value in government setting social rules, enforcing cultural compliance standards, demanding self-respect, patriotism and the lack of visible vulgarity. Yes, if govt enforces a rules-based order, it will be naturally oppressive to those who are non-compliant – perhaps to those who prefer vulgarity. However, it is not as simple as dismissing the value when contrast against the outcomes.
THE UNSPOKEN MESSAGE: President Trump has to put national guard troops on the ground in Washington DC to retain lawful order, to control the thugs and enhance the safety and security (domestic tranquility) of the region. President Putin does not need to put the Russian army on the streets to control the thugs or generate the same outcome; Putin’s effort has a cultural outcome.
As the ‘West’ continues to destroy itself (Russian perspective), its culture, its moral decency – and by extension its identity – the position of Russia is to keep out these vulgar influences that devalue the national sense of self-respect.
From the position of the Russian standard, social indecency is not going to be permitted, and if it takes oppressive govt control mechanisms to enforce national cultural standards, if it takes govt to mandate self-discipline, then so be it.
That’s the larger message from Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, and it is a cold, unwavering and deliberate approach that appears hard, callous and dictatorial to the ‘West’, because in many ways, it is exactly that.
Taking part in the meeting on the Russian side were Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov, and Special Presidential Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev.
On the American side, the meeting was attended by Special Envoy of the President of the United States of America Steve Witkoff ,together with entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Affinity Partners Jared Kushner.
Ushakov is to Witkoff as Dmitriev is to Kushner. However, I will say very directly -and this might not please a lot of Trump critics- that Jared Kushner is the key influence agent in this negotiation.
Despite what people might criticize him for, Mr. Jared Kushner has a remarkable level of self-discipline and an emotionless face that would immediately earn the respect of any Russian opposition. When you know how Russians think about strength, you realize the mental component is their focus. When the Russian delegation looks upon Kushner, they see self-control, strength, limited words and ultimately that translates to power.
If there is a hard 10% needed to get to the finish line of negotiations, it will be Kushner who penetrates that difficult part. If Ukraine is to achieve an outcome that leaves them with self-respect in the final product, it will be Jared Kushner who delivers that for them.
Additionally, Russian President Vladimir Putin is happy, because he is in a strong position having just won control of the city of Pokrovsk in Ukraine (Donbas region), saying the now-secured area is a key base for Moscow’s ongoing military advance. Ukrainian resistance is falling, as the stronghold for the best units of the Ukraine military has now collapsed.
Yep, time for the Ukranians to admit they lost and go home.
They are home
That’s a rather poor understanding of the cobbled together nation of Ukraine. Yes, the ethnic Russian Ukrainians in Donbas are ‘home’, where their own government had been launching missiles at them previously. The Nazis from Western Ukraine are within their national borders, but trying more like an invading force trying to enforce their political and ethnic influence over that region. That would be like going back to the American Civil War and describing Union army members as ‘home’ while they were engaged in combat in the South. Or vice versa.
Beat me to it.
The Donbas Russians are technically the ones that are home.
They need to realize that NATO membership is out and they were wrong to consider it given Russia’s willingness to start WWIII over it.
The vast majority of soldiers fighting on the frontlines that are from the Donbas, are fighting for the Russian side…
Ok, home-home. The part they still have.
The rich ones are roaming Europe.
Hmm. I’ve got Ukrainian refugees living up the road. In Ontario. I hope they don’t think they are at home.
It is. Long past due. But unless President Trump is willing to withhold weapons and aid to Ukraine provided directly or through NATO purchases, the war goes on. The inscrutable Mr. Kushner notwithstanding. Meantime, Mr. Putin continues to grind Ukraine’s male population to its grave.
The tragedy is that the Ukrainians have admitted that, yet the ones who actually need to admit defeat will not, until the last Ukrainian is dead:
Go Starmer
Go le petit’roi
Go Merz
Go Ursula
Go Kaja
The European leaders (most of them) are happy to fight to the last Ukrainian man and then pick up the spoils they can find in what is left of Ukraine. This is shameful and I find their actions of pouring gasoline on the flames of the war despicable.
Has Ukraine admitted so. Last I heard they are clinging to a stalemate label.
Can I get an AMEN!
Yes, you can! Will somebody please inform Pres. Trump that this is the decision of we the people? 😎
We supply billions to Zelensky, cash and weapons which he sells off. Everyone I know knows about this. Why do we continue to fund this corruption? It literally leads straight to our government amoung others. Ukraine is a laundry mat for our nation and before the invasion it was the go to for every kind of black market sales, maybe still is. That one fact gives me reason to think it’s directly connected to criminals who run our government.
I don’t know Putin, but it could be the evil in our nations are trying to destroy Russia for not participating in the filth we all are sick of.
Zelensky by all evidence is just a piece of garbage yet we listen to him? Extortion, blackmail, his removal would be best for Ukraine.
Notice-to my knowledge-nary a single US politician has expressed outrage at the massive embezzlement scandal in Ukraine?
Their silence speaks volumes to the fact they are all getting a cut, imo.
Pale, can we cut to the chase and call out the reality. The war goes on because President Trump continues to fund it with weapons and aid, either directly or indirectly. Only he knows why. We can’t control Putin or Little Z. But President Trump controls the Ukraine purse strings. And we keep funding the slaughter. Hard truth.
Where are those weapons made and by whom? States that he and Rs need to carry to stay in the majority (if we can call it that). As long as the popular vote is the basis for staffing government we’ll be in continual jeopardy… these victories are all about funding. Fund the defense contractors who politically donate, or don’t fund them at your own risk.
It’s a sickness inherent in secular “democracy.”
I am neutral about Kushner personally, but it was obvious from Trump’s first term that Kushner had great negotiation successes especially in the Middle East.
I was a bit surprised to see Putin, himself, in on these negotiations. I did not think they were at this level yet.
Can anyone translate, for me, what Sundance was pointing out in his earlier tweet about the meeting?
—
Russian is speaking English to the American side. There is usually the interpreter that translates and is a buffer zone.
The man sitting between President Putin and Kirill Dmitriev, isn’t he the interpreter of the Russian side ?
I believe they are talking about the city of Moscow (bragging kind of) with pride and a comparison with D.C., as Sundance refers to above, where President Trump had to have National Guard on the streets.
Or compare Moscow to London or Paris or other European cities overrun by invaders welcomed in by their governments. The people all over western countries can see the contrast. Western leaders fight for Ukraine’s ‘sovereignty’ and fight against their own.
The video was very poor in quality with shaky camera and almost impossible to hear.
IMO, the Russian interpreter doesn’t even have a Russian accent. Sounds like he’s straight out of the US Embassy in Moscow. Of course, Putin speaks English and would know if the translation was inaccurate. The translated statements/words were very basic words, hard to mistranslate. If my thoughts are in any way accurate, it speaks volumes about Putin’s relationship/trust with Witkoff-Kushner-Trump team.
Agree
I believe Steve Witkoff is one of the best people
that President Trump has working for him!
Following geo-politics I never hear any criticism
of him. Everyone likes him ! I do too! 👏
He always has this..”authentic” vibe..for lack of better term.
Kushner…he gives off vibe of…boss son in law. 😉
I am not sure if nepotism is really a big thing in Russian politics. 🤷♀️
I never have heard it discussed that so and so is related to so and so.
He also has his fathers reputation to deal with, which I am certain the
Russians are familiar with.🤢
My first impression of what Putin is making crystal clear, is that when or if, the puppet masters of the Ukrainian War, strikes Moscow lethally with advanced missile weapons, there will be no mercy in return.
Between this video and the prior post of this meeting, I visually see what the Russians are fighting for now and why they will die defending it.
I see this all as a friendly reminder of the non-negotiable by Putin in the interests of Russia and its people.
He’s also rubbing the shit piles, the Euro clowns have made Europe into, right in their faces, with a smile.
I admire the way Putin unapologetically defends his country and culture.
I wonder, if he were in Trump’s shoes, how he would deal with our corrupt judiciary and our many enemies within.
Putin would literally lock them all up and replace them. Not just talk BS about it.
“…and this might not please a lot of Trump critics-that Jared Kushner is the key influence agent in this negotiation.”
That may not please a lot of Trump supporters.
It has been a long time since I saw a group of adults sitting around a table with none them staring at their smart phone.
Almost like they came there to accomplish something.
It’s beautiful and refreshing.
Amen to that, Charles!
While I wait in my chiropractor’s office I say Hi to the office personnel, enjoy the office surroundings, look outside through the new office’s big, beautiful windows while my senior “peers” stare at their electronic devices like zombies.
Once in a great while another “free bird” like I will start a refreshing conversation and my hope in humanity will rise again.
If President Putin ever visits the US then President Trump should drive him through “small town USA” in a Red state to enjoy the real America. Bypass every big schitty on the way.
Big schitty. I’m gonna steal that. And right you are!
Thank you, basic88sciencE. I’m honored.
And they all dressed for the occasion!
👏 👏
The whole gathering at the table represents
professionalism. Getting down to business with
the seriousness required-and expected -instead
of a costume clown show like Zelensky and cronies.
Putin holds all the cards.
Can’t wait for a color revolution in reverse for Ukraine. Everyone assumes the next Ukraine government will be pro-west despite the fact that a pro-Russian government was in power circa 2014.
My Ukrainian (legal immigrant) coworker was quick to emphasize that in 2014 their government was pro-Ukrainian. And that was unacceptable to the west.
🤔 🤔
Heard a comment recently that was pretty thought provoking.
Most of the time the “peace” after a conflict can be as bad
as the conflict itself.
The Ukraine economy and government is being funded and
supported by the West, and has been since the 2014 Maidan.
Once the conflict ends and the money stops flowing from
the West…it has potential to get….really Ugly.😖
This team is trying to mitigate an end that would hopefully
lessen the chances/ impact on average Ukrainian people…
Getting Zelensky out of government would benefit everyone.
He reached his government expiration date years ago.
Also, the Nazi faction that still exists in Ukraine are/do not want
the conflict to end. Putin wants that faction -Nazism to be ended.
🙏 🙏 Pray for Peace 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️
The “Coalition of the Willing”, gagging for out and out war but consigned to semi darkness for the moment, are surely gnashing their teeth at these images.
Now that’s a Trumpian power play.
Yeah, Betsy. They are certainly “willing” to take all of their countrymen’s money and throw it into the Ukraine wasteland but when it comes to actually fighting the Russians without OUR help they are what Alex Christoforou renames them as the “Coalition of the UNwilling”! All hat, No cattle!
Not only their countries’ money but eventually their own blood and treasure, leaving Islamic invaders behind, who won’t be conscripted as cannon fodder, at home with their women and children.
Given the perilous states of their own countries, THOR…industrial decline, civil unrest, financial instability, etc…I’d perhaps call them realistically “The Coalition of the Pretentious Willing But Unable”.
Obscene bravado and bluster.
Sidelined and increasingly relegated to irrelevancy.
Aren’t they just beating their chests?
No military, no money except to take the plebe’s “unused savings”, overrun with “migrants” is not a situation that can possibly create a serious/rational thought about winning a clnflict with Russia.
Today when President Trump commented on the Somalians, and Congresswoman particularly, and the sending those who dislike our nation back to their home nation – that would appear to be President Trump’s response to this walking tour given to Witkoff and Kushner, as a tacit conversation between the two Presidents, “I see your point and I agree it is a good one” regarding cleanliness and orderliness of citizenry.
These two men, Presidents of two historic powers are building the foundation for a new working order that other nations are going to either get on board with or be left in the dust.
While we await the finale of the Big Ugly actual leaders are already setting the stage for the peace that will follow.
Sets the stage for Trump-Putin to have a similar walking tour when President Trump ultimately visits Moscow, which he has stated he is amenable to doing, which would be the final nail in the Russia! Russia! Russia! hoax before he exits his presidency term.
Lol, bet there won’t be a Putin-Trump walking tour of DC!
Exactly why Putin will walk Moscow.
Thanks for the perspective, Sundance.
“When the Russian delegation looks upon Kushner, they see self-control, strength, limited words and ultimately that translates to power.”
Good Cop (Wikoff)/Bad Cop (Kushner), Yin-Yang, Bookends.
Kushner bad cop?
ONLY is the sense of the different personalities as described in Sundance’s post. Kuchner is the stoic, quiet, no expression on her face, exuding power. Witkoff is the more approachable, friendly sort.
Thanks for the comment. I guess I should have explained it more. In no way is Kuschner “bad”. I have always liked and supported him because he’s a very solid introvert (who can extrovert when he wants to), which is also my personality type also. I get Kuchner. It takes one (introvert) to know one (introvert).
He’s opposite type than Witkoff, who’s more extroverted, but also somewhat introverted. My point is that the Trump team has all aspects covered. It’s an analogy.
Besides ending the war, the Russians also want to forge business deals and trade with us. They showed this by all the Russian business people who came to Alaska.
Also in the 28 points was emphasis on rebuilding Ukraine to become prosperous, which has different considerations than stopping the war.
Jared is a good representative for these business and rebuilding issues — he knows business and finance. The Russians also know how close he is to President Trump.
Just imagine Putin “negotiating” with Kamala, or Autopen, or Obama, or Hillary.
Imagine where these losers would be, if not for DEI, or grift, or a ride on a presidential spouse’s coattails. They’re not even fit to sweep Moscow’s safe and beautiful streets, let alone sit at a negotiating table.
Imagine Putin’s amusement, his bellyaching laughter, when our military, our universities, our corporate boardrooms, and the very heart of our government, squandered time and resources on pronouns and safe spaces. The unbelievable WEAKNESS on constant display, paraded as if it were a virtue.
Putin is fully aware that Z is just a puppet. He smells the weakness, and the fear.
With the new sheriff in town, Putin finally has someone worthy of negotiation. Peace through strength, it never works otherwise.
As a bonus, Russia and the USA will form a strategic partnership, on so many levels. And unlike the vast majority of our “allies”, Russia will not proffer a begging bowl.
As SOS, Hillary did have that nice “reset” button.
I’m sure that impressed the heck out of Putin.
Yep. So cringe. A reset button for a total knob.
I imagine they liked Hillary and felt she was someone they could deal with. They must have loved the way she stole American wealth and sold it to them out of a back alley at bargain basement prices.
Hillary was great at working corrupt deals between narcos, marxists, and communists, China, etc. in exchange for kickbacks to her.
She was like the evil Trump.
I think the button actually said “Recharge”. 😄
i think putin needs wants donbas, crimea.. and a little more for the nato buffer and nationalists.. nothing less will do, period. get it done.
He wants it because the people living in that region want to be part of Russia, not Ukraine. They voted on it, is my understanding. Russian, not Ukrainian, is their native tongue, which Zman banned from being used in that region.
This dichotomy took me back to the 50’s and 60’s growing up. There was an order of peace and law in the US. A person sleeping on a park bench in the evening would be rousted and either sent on their way or sent to the drunk tank. Beat cops walked the streets.
Kids walked to school and at a certain age were told to watch out for the littler ones. We would tell them to wait to cross the street until we got there. Grade school kids were crossing guards. Hold that flag at 45°. Cars stopped. A lot of responsibility was handed down early on.
We were taught to be polite, be courteous, be helpful. Holding doors for others was followed by thank you from those who passed.
We had an orderly society. Now look what we have.
It’s what always happens when the left takes control.
To quote our President, everything they touch turns to shite.
Look at every D RAT run city, they are an utter disgrace. Ghettos everywhere.
Maybe our biggest problem was we let the left take control. We didn’t notice? We didn’t stop them — why? We need to take responsibility for our part if we are to keep it from happening again.
We can’t expect “other” people (elected or not) to do it. Citizenship means taking citizen actions. The alternatives are what Russia does or what we had, which was the left in control.
“YES , to your statement
and we were TOLD to say PLEASE for asking for something and then THANK YOU when received.
I remember.”
Then there is the shooting in Stockton CA at a 2 year old birthday party. 4 children dead? Is nothing sacred?
Wow thanks for the flashback!
I could seem my 4th grade self as a crossing guard and yes the cars stopped 🙂
Liberalism and permissiveness is what killed our society
Not in the classical liberal sense.
It was fantastic; “Get home when the streetlights come on” was the rule.
I’m a boomer. 77 and racing to 78. All those things are true. 90% of us had a mother waiting for us to get off the school bus and the bus driver was in high school. The drivers didn’t tolerate any lip from us. I rode the bus for 12 years and was never even in a fender bender.
Well… I’m 62 and there was no mom waiting at the school bus for me because mom was working and dad was MIA. 💪
I well remember.
John I had a similar thought thru my mind. From a biblical world view we see our very own country taken over by the Beast of Babylon the same Beast that hung over Sodom and Ghmora right before God sent Brimstone and sulfer firestorm destroying the entire area. Geologists have discovered the wasteland our government hides these things from the masses. Abraham argued with God over the cities if the Angels sent could find 40 or more descent people then he would allow them to Cary on. Not even 40 were located. We’re a ways away from that however we are a filthy country at the top. Pray for healing and peace.
I was a crossing guard in 5th grade (1974 – 75) at the intersection down the block from my house. I wore a vinyl hunting orange Sam Browne belt with a AAA School Safety Patrol badge affixed to it (similar to the one pictured below and yes, there were ranks). We did not use flags back then, we had to stand in the middle of the street with our arms held out at a 45° angle.
I had that badge in the first grade. I had a school picture taken of me with that badge on. I remember being proud of that because my brother thought it was cool. He was in kindergarten.
And kids were taught manners while in restaurants and not run wild like crazy banshees in public spaces!

It could not have helped the negotiating team that NATO was threatening Russia on Monday. NATO torpedoed the peace talks with talk of preemptive strikes on Russia.

Italian admiral trying to get the United States into NATO.
Great.
NATO is a millstone around our necks. The constant meddling, the war-mongering, the eagerness to spill the blood of other people’s sons, to squander arms and treasure grifted from Uncle Sugar.
The EU is raising its own “army”, in alignment with ideals its “leaders” hold dear. DEI, “correct” pronouns, and the ever present need to stamp out white privilege.
With such a winning combination, who needs pesky Americans in NATO? Who needs our boots on the ground, our weapons, our technology, our constant spigot of cash?
Trump’s on a roll. Taking out the trash from 19 countries, and counting. Why not exit NATO? Why not exit the UN? Why continue to fund America Last?
No surprise. Putin holds all the cards.
I was interested by the “trigger warning” imposed upon the video of the walk in the town above., telling us of it’s CCP connections.
Could we have a similar one on ALL the Marxist meeja like bbc, fake book, buck face and all the others.
London used to be able to do the same during say a coronation event. Look at how elegant a monarchy can be……now not so much.
Washington DC is what a Republic looks like after a socialist coup and during an attempted recovery. How comparative is that?
Speaking of socialist coups, DC reminds me of St. Petersburg, after the Bolsheviks seized control.
Ironic, and of course, pathetic.
Orthodox Christian Russia

Obama: “My Muslim Faith”
I despise B. Hussein. What a debacle. He’s as immoral as he is repulsive.
The Moscow Patriarchate of 2025 is not the same spiritual or ecclesiastical entity as the Orthodox Christian Church of Russia in 1917-1918.
When we were a Christian nation good order was enforced.
The United States is no longer a Christian nation, we are living in the ashes.
A nation of “practical atheists,” professing to be Christian yet living as if there is no God.
I have a former co-worker whom claimed to be Christian and “a good person” but stated she did not believe in Jesus.
Excuse me? I’m astounded.
I’m guessing she’ a lib?
A Christian that doesn’t believe in Jesus? Alll righty. Makes ZERO sense.
As a woman living in a blue state? And many woman will be angry with what I state next, I care not.
Lots of woman can and do hold polar opposite thoughts in their heads without a moments reflection on how ridiculous it is. This is no Christianity without Christ. There are no “good persons” no not one, myself included. The Bible is abundantly clear on this point but the number of people whom state it (including my ex-wife whom advertises her self as a good Christian woman whom just happened to abandon her husband) will stand before the Judge and he will explain their error. Pray for their souls.
Anyone who says “I’m a good person” is automatically NOT.
So much easier to virtue signal, than to be virtuous.
Heritage America was great when it was a Nazarene nation. Pat wrote that back in the 90’S when he was trying to save our country before it got fully or almost destroyed like we find ourselves now.
It all starts at home with proper discipline.
When we were kids we got into trouble for letting the screen door slam shut.
The first time we were sent back to close the door correctly. After that stricter enforcement was used.
It goes deeper and wider than that. Avocation for feminism from many quarters for power, gain (both material and personal), greed from all quarters – politicians, businesses paying for cheaper labor and the start of lucrative childcare services, etal .. have all contributed to and led to an erosion of the family and left children without proper mothering discipline. The rise of feminist movements have undermined traditional family structures by promoting women’s workforce participation and challenging traditional gender roles. Not all women needed to participate. The shift (on a global scale) resulted in marriage breakups and fatherlessness. More women suffered loneliness. Negative outcomes of all sorts for children.
Feminism activists may argue that the goal of feminism is not to destroy family, but to transform family by challenging patriarchal norms which historically subordinated women, restricting their autonomy. Their spiel emphasizes that feminism sought to expand (choices) for women – main emphasis on the right to work and parenting responsibilities shared more equitably between partners. Well and good but the main narrative that this movement promoted was that maternal presence can be substituted without consequence, leading to women returning to work prematurely and children being left in daycare or the care of strangers, has damaged children over the past three generations.
Biblical teachings for family responsibilities outlines distinct, yet complementary roles for husbands, wives, parents, and children, all grounded in love, submission, and mutual respect. By taking God out of what was advocated, the attack was on women and hence the entire family. It is clear divorces that were happening increased; allowed in countries where cultural and religious norms were broken. Divorce became something that is no more a shame. Women who chose not to get married were cohabiting with men “living together”
The basis of all this :
According to biblical interpretations, Satan’s attack on women is rooted in the prophecy found in Genesis 3:15, where God declares enmity between the serpent (Satan) and the woman, and between their respective seeds. The “seed of the woman” refers to Jesus Christ, who would ultimately defeat Satan by bruising his head, while Satan would only bruise the heel of the promised Child.
This prophecy underscores why Satan targeted the woman, starting with Eve, right from the beginning —because she was central to the divine plan of salvation through bearing the Messiah.
Satan’s strategy was twofold: to attack the woman directly and to wage war through her children.
His initial attack occurred in the Garden of Eden when he deceived Eve, leading to the fall of humanity. Although Satan did not fully understand God’s redemptive plan.
His intent was to destroy the world by destroying the woman and her lineage. The fact that the Savior was born of a woman intensified Satan’s hatred, as this fulfilled God’s promise and thwarted the devil’s ambitions.
In the Book of Revelation, the woman is depicted as a symbol of God’s people, particularly Israel or the faithful remnant, and her offspring are those who keep God’s commandments and hold the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Satan’s rage is directed at this woman and her offspring, as they represent the continuation of God’s covenant and the spread of His truth. The dragon (Satan) is enraged with the woman and goes to make war with the rest of her offspring, indicating a spiritual conflict that continues throughout history.
Some interpretations emphasize that;
Satan’s attacks on women are not only personal but also strategic, aiming to disrupt God’s divine order by undermining the roles of men and women in marriage and the church starting with the temptation of Eve to lead Adam, contrary to God’s design, is seen as the first instance of Satan manipulating relationship roles to bring about spiritual disorder.
This is further linked to passages : 1 Timothy 2:13–14, which affirm that Adam was formed first and that Eve was deceived, highlighting the importance of God’s created order.
Thus, the Bible portrays Satan’s attack on women as both a direct assault on a key figure in salvation history and a broader spiritual warfare aimed at disrupting God’s plan through the corruption of relationships, the promotion of chaos, and the temptation of individuals to sin.
Fruits of the enlightenment; Feminists stated goal was destruction of the family unit.
Fruit of a wicked tree.

Looks like Trump will win again, and by default so will America.
Trump is fighting multiple battles on many fronts, (Immigration, Trade, Drugs, false narratives from the media, 8 wars resolved, China, etc.) and America always wins!
Its time every anti-Trumper reevaluated their position.
Oh god Sundance, the ode for the Russian order , with a little side note to non-compliant people being the trade-off victims is sad.
Just because you like Christmas and order won’t save you from the Russian system. Vulgarity will be your smallest problem.
Confusing a touristic visit a la Tucker to the supermarket with the reality of most Russians growing up in a system like that.
You can’t compare Russia with the US. It’s a fallacy
You are correct in one respect; until we deport 100 million back to their nations good order will not be on the menu.
You don’t understand what Sundance wrote.
Or you do, and just like to throw shade on him.
I’m going with B.
Tell Mark Levin we said hi.
Ditto.
In your fake British accent.
Fake? Sounds authentic to me.
Ok. Exaggerated.
Or perhaps that is Old Yeller. 🤔
You can compare and contrast any two cities in the world. What would happen in Moscow if a group of blue haired ladies had stepped out and shouted “Fascist Dictator!” In Moscow children are taught to behave. In the US, people were expected to behave like adults. Now many won’t. What is the solution?
A good hard spanking?
Gets my vote.
Bring back the stocks and horse whipping and the gallows will be used seldom.

Or perhaps you just prefer to be arbitrary and capricious. There’s a lot of that going around nowadays.
Sundance,
Deeply Grateful for your Faithfulness in telling TRUTH!
BLESSINGS
Putin with that smile, he looks like the cat who just ate the neighbors canary.
Nothing new, I got it, when Tucker “showed cased” Moscow to interview Putin; saw how pristine the subway station was, its Taj Mahal-like magnificence, as opposed to visiting NYC’s Grand Central Station and the subway ridden, gang-tagging graffiti scrawls.
Obama did say his people wanted him to be a dictator.
I see a lot of MAGA folk wishing the same.
Russia is at war with outside powers and some Ukrainian crooks and Nazis. The projection of tranquility amidst chaos.
The US is suffering a revolution of anarchy in the streets of our cities and the halls of government. We cannot walk in our cities or drive on our roads with safety. The President is making us economically strong again, but unless there is a cleaning out by arrests of the Communists and Islamists that strength will evaporate into the ether.
as one of an “age”
I notice that until our government allowed
third world illegals and refugees
into our country
we primarily had social order
and until our government started
paying people for not working
(yes that is mostly what welfare is)
we had personal responsibility
Thanks LBJ.
He’s supposed to have stated, “We’ll have those n—–s voting Democrat for the next 200 years.” “40 acres and a mule!”, modernized.
We should call the illegals what they actually are: an “invasive species” and call it settled science.
Then proceed to remove the threat.
Exactly. Our government created this problem on purpose. Now they can justify anything to clean it up.

My perspective also and that of millions of Americans I suspect..
I don’t understand Kushner’s role. Is he a ‘Special Envoy’ like Witkoff? Does he also speak for the President? Does he represent private business?
Yes, yes and yes.
Many Russians want to do business with us and they are talking about that in addition to ending the war. Also planning Ukraine reconstruction. Witkoff can’t talk with multiple people every minute and Jared has already proven his skills in business, finance, and negotiation. How close he is to the President helps too.
“In reality, the Russian system of social cohesion generates these visible outcomes, and yes, there is an authoritarian mechanism that mandates the mechanics of what is inherently visible.” …
…….. “Yes, despite our unwillingness to admit benefit, there is value in government setting social rules, enforcing cultural compliance standards, demanding self-respect, patriotism and the lack of visible vulgarity. Yes, if govt enforces a rules-based order, it will be naturally oppressive to those who are non-compliant – perhaps to those who prefer vulgarity. However, it is not as simple as dismissing the value when contrast against the outcomes.”

At one time, the ‘natural law’ was part of the USA culture. … A “system of social cohesion” without the need for a constant and intrusive ‘authoritarian mechanism’ from our governments as part of our society. Now days, the idea of social cohesion is long gone from our country and the ‘voting booths’ on election day. … There are more security guards and locked-up merchandise in our stores. [In many States honest citizens are now allowed to carry guns for personal protection.]
People have been ‘voting’ in the States with their feet. … The Red and Blue States are even more divided and different in the basic values according to the Natural Law. … ‘Voting with their feet’ was a phrase used by the late President Ronald Reagan. ….. Long ago Ronald Reagan could be elected Governor of California. In today’s ‘blue state’ California, a person like Ronald Reagan could NOT even get hired as a ‘dog catcher’ by the big blue local governments in California.
Immigration changed California, and immigration is being used to change the United States and to also eliminate the idea of the ‘Natural Law’ as part of our society.
…… “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are >endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,< that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…”
The inside of Russian buildings seem extremely sterile…not in a good way. No warmth of any color. So I guess that’s a good setting for Mr. Kushner. Whatever works
Looks just like the new FBI building. There is plenty of sterile in DC.
lol
I’ve seen many in videos. Also look at the street they walked in. YouTube also has videos of many beautiful parks that hundreds seem to enjoy.
I specifically said “inside.” The skylines, parks, and exteriors of their buildings, from what I’ve seen, are picturesque.
I would think that the most picturesque architecture in Russia would be in Saint Petersburg.
Have you seen the skyline in Moscow?
I think Putin is WELL aware of the global intelligence group which is the CIA in the US, MI6 in the UK, Mossad in Israel and on and on. The global intel like to work in hidden ways, but when necessary, it can draw on the most convenient national government armed services resources to do the dirty work. When Global Intel wanted things to happen, Israel suddenly attacks Iran. When Global Intel wanted something to happen in Syria, the same thing. Trump had no knowledge and it’s likely the two people from which he demanded answers had none to offer.
Putin KNOWS about this and the other methods Global Intel uses including and especially entity actors like George Soros. It was when Soros and all of his entities and money were removed from the Russian federation, this is when Russia became the target of VERY aggressive measures.
After all, they tried to win Putin over… with a “reset” button. After this NATO and all other entities became far more overt and aggressive.
The various western nation governments CANNOT control their local intel because their local intel isn’t local. The FACE is local, but the operators are GLOBAL.
Sorry to burst your bubble:
As of December 3, 2025, the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk (in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine) has not been fully secured by Russian forces, according to reports from major European and Western news outlets. Russian officials and President Vladimir Putin claimed on December 1–2 that their military had achieved “full capture” of the city, describing it as a major victory after a prolonged campaign that began in mid-2024. However, Ukrainian military statements, corroborated by independent analyses cited in European media, indicate that fierce fighting continues, with Ukrainian troops retaining control over significant portions—particularly the northern areas—and actively counterattacking to maintain supply lines.
The same news outlets that claim a man can be a woman? Sure thing.
Or that Putin is dying or the Russians are 2 weeks from running out of ammo or the Russian economy is in the toilet. I’m sure I missed a few things.
Excellent point. Also, when someone begins a comment with a condescending statement, such as “hate to bust your bubble,” I believe they’ve lost all objectivity.
Max is reporting live from Langley… or Vauxhall.
Sure, from “major European and Western news outlets” … will Russia be “reeling” next?
I continue to disagree when you describe Russian society as “hard, callous, and dictatorial.” They are, simply, a very different country, with ancient history that doesn’t align with ours – at all. They have paid by far the greatest human price in War, and will never forget it. They experimented for a time with a “USSR,” then discarded it and returned to what is their roots.
They are proud of their nation, and they should be. But what works well for them would not work for us and vice-versa. Vivé la difference! It’s a great big planet with a diversity of human cultures. Ours is one.
The image of what you describe, SD, is what the left secretly wants with them as the authoritarian control force.
They’re commies, they’ll always want this and more.
What they do in DC to create chaos and fear is only a vehicle to their “Utopia”.
Sundance, that was a good article pointing out the contrasts between Russia and the West and the possible direction of a peace deal.
When comparing the EU to Russia, you don’t see these kinds of news stories about Russia: the stories that show that the rights of citizens have been erased and the countries are going down the drain because of their far-left globalist leaders, economic policies, energy policies, climate change policies, and the illegal migrant and crime catastrophe that they have brought on themselves.
European Survival: Why the Only Thing Left is to Fight against Illegal Immigration and Organized Crime
https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/11/european-survival-why-only-thing-left-is-fight/
At the heart of Europe, a silent but inexorable crisis has turned into a deafening roar. From the coasts of Italy to the streets of Paris and the suburbs of Malmö, Europeans face a brutal reality: illegal immigration, fueled by organized crime networks, is not just a migratory challenge, but an existential threat to their security, cultural identity, and prosperity… Europe can no longer ignore this calculated invasion. The EU’s failed policies, which prioritize “orderly immigration” over security, have turned the continent into a battlefield.
This is a great article that points out the stark reality of the Ukraine affair and the EU decline:
Renowned International Relations Scholar John Mearsheimer Warns Brussels That Europe’s Geopolitical Relevance Is Collapsing
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/renowned-international-relations-scholar-john-mearsheimer-warns-brussels/
At the heart of his lecture was a position he has held for years: the Ukraine war was ignited by the West’s reckless push to drag Ukraine into NATO, despite countless warnings from diplomats, scholars, and even past U.S. ambassadors. Speaking bluntly, renowned American scholar John Mearsheimer argued that the war in Ukraine has not just devastated Ukraine—it has accelerated the collapse of Europe’s geopolitical relevance. The continent is “in serious danger,” and the decline is overwhelmingly the result of political delusions held by Europe’s entrenched, globalist establishment… According to Mearsheimer, Russia moved militarily because NATO crossed every red line Russia had ever stated. Describing the war today, he said Ukraine is locked in a slow, grinding conflict in which manpower, artillery, and industrial capacity decide the winner—and Russia holds every meaningful advantage. He believes no negotiated peace is remotely plausible because Russia’s demands—Ukrainian neutrality, demilitarization, and permanent territorial concessions—are incompatible with the fantasies promoted in Kyiv and Brussels. His prediction was stark. Ukraine will lose more territory, end up dependent on European aid indefinitely, and exist as a fractured state unable to defend itself. Europe will pay a heavy price as well. By severing itself from Russian energy and doubling down on sanctions, Europe has kneecapped its own industry and given the U.S. and China an enormous competitive edge…
Because in some cultures it’s important, Kushner, being in the “Family”, are extra points in the score keeping, he could be at President Trump ‘s dinner table any night of the week. I noticed ,he sits all the back in his chair,straight backed, not leaning forward like most . His body language gives same optics ,I carry weight, like a boss.Trump is not going to stop trying to get this war ended, he will find a way eventually. Deals, just Deals ,they work.
I really really really hate agreeing with Putin, really really really,,,,,,,,but, spasibo y dobriy dnem to Sundance for the info
There’s definitely a difference when Putin speaks to people he respects. Here is a pic of Macron sitting at the same table and look at the different arrangement and the space between them:
Clearly, he never wants to smell Macron’s breath again.
“But he’s a Jew, beholden to Netanyahu, who is controlling Trump and the world!!”……………..🤣💋
Let Ukraine fall – it’s what they and specifically their leader deserves. It will also be best for them in the long run. It’s obvious they are not going to win militarily and they don’t need to have any more deaths trying to do the impossible. Learn your lesson, go home, and as Sundance sometimes says “live your best life.” After all, it doesn’t last forever.
>Yes, if govt enforces a rules-based order, it will be naturally oppressive to those who are non-compliant – perhaps to those who prefer vulgarity.
This is the entire problem we now face. Government-mandated public decency didn’t used to be necessary; the dominate culture demanded it.
The same type of woman who is now wearing a pink p*ssy hat and marching at pro-abortion protests, a few generations ago, would have been shaming her immigrant neighbors for not sending their children to American schools.
All that energy we see now trying to tear down the status quo for some decadent, self-centered, “create your own reality” existence used to be focused on ensuring public decency, conformity and Christianity.
Love it! Excellent article!
Thank you, Sundance!!!
President Trump is the one making DC civilized again, like Muscovites enjoy.
Perhaps President Putin is highlighting their common purpose.
None of this amounts to a hill of beans.
There was a video some years back in which Putin was dressing down or rather facing a man who’d done something wrong. Can’t recall what but Putin sat down, handed him a pen and told him to sign the paper. The man did and Putin reminded him that it was his pen and put his hand out. It showed a strength, a statement of power.
That the Soviet Union was an evil empire was a litany I have heard most of my lifetime. I remember when Nikita Krushev (sp) beat his shoe on the table on the black and white telly. And my sister and I putting water in jars re the whole shebang re the Cuba missile “crisis”
The Soviet Union no longer exists. Does anyone else remember when Clinton sent Goldman Sachs “loans” to bail them out? I do. That is on Bill Clinton. The Soviet Union went belly up. Bankrupted. Perhaps that was a “good” thing. There are many nation states created under the the end of that former Union.
Russia is an entirely different and sovereign entity now. If Putin doesn’t want to make to make “peace” with anyone, I can’t forking blame him.
Especially with Ukraine and Zelensky, an outrageous human who is now “leading” a country when he used to use his male organ to play piano! No elections needed to get that pervert out of there. Oh sure. While he has enriched himself and his cronies driving their cars, watches, owning many properties even in the U.S.
The Holy Spirit will take care of this, maybe not on/in the timing we will understand. Toilets eventually are flushed. Even the Amish clean the dung out of their outdoor toilets.
