On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump emissaries Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with the Ukraine negotiating team in Florida to further discuss acceptable terms for a broader ceasefire and end to the war.

Still trying to recover from corruption charges against his senior presidential team, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not at the talks. Instead, the Ukraine delegation was led by State Security Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, while Zelenskyy went to Paris for an emotional support session with Emmanuel Macron.

Secretary Rubio and Secretary Umerov spoke before and after their 5-hour negotiation session.  Secretary Rubio emphasized the main topic as securing the long-term future of Ukraine both from a security position and from an economic prosperity position.

This state security aspect comes as the Ukraine delegation is facing pressure to accept, they will lose most -if not all- of the Donbas region to Russia. “The end goal is obviously not just the end of the war. Obviously, that’s central and fundamental,” Rubio said. “It’s also about securing an end to the war that leaves Ukraine sovereign and independent and with an opportunity at real prosperity.”

In better-than-expected news, the EU is now saying they will not comply with any removal of sanctions against Russia.  If the U.S-Russia and Ukraine work out a negotiated settlement that permits legal or economic relief for Vladimir Putin, the European Union will not agree and will instead make up their own decision on the issues.

Europe is holding this position as a threat, because President Trump is not fully consulting with them on all the granular details.  However, this is the type of threat that is exactly beneficial to what appears to be the long-term strategy of Trump.

Two weeks ago, the seditious six congressional members began framing an op against the Trump administration under the auspices of military “defying illegal orders.”  In the past few days, the same “illegal order” narrative has been used against Secretary Pete Hegseth; these two structured and timed sequence events are not disconnected.

The leftists and deep state IC are running a color revolution operation inside the USA.  The first step in all color revolutions is to undermine the legitimacy and authority of the elected national leader; this is exactly what the seditious six are doing.

This version of the color revolution is not dissimilar to the Lawfare approach; however, this is using the Intelligence Community and Det of War as the impetus and target for the destabilization effort.  The objective is the same, to delegitimize the administration of Trump and create purposeful crisis. WATCH:

While it is unnerving to watch this unfold, it is important to remember the #1 way to counteract the efforts of those who participate in the effort is to retain support for the intended target, President Trump.  On the positive side, there is a very large percentage of the American people who can see right through these efforts now.

[Transcript] – KRISTEN WELKER: It’s wonderful to have you back after a really significant week. And I do want to start with the National Guard shooting. You, of course, served in uniform. You know firsthand the impact, the devastation of gun violence. We just heard Secretary Noem defend President Trump’s decision to, quote, “permanently pause migration from all third-world countries.” What is your response to how President Trump is handling this?

SEN. MARK KELLY:

Well, let me start by saying what happened to the two guardsmen, Andrew Wolfe, Sarah Beckstrom, horrific. And it shouldn’t happen. And I’m praying for him and for her family. It was a horrible, horrible thing. And there needs to be an investigation and accountability. But when I heard the secretary say that they’re going to pause immigration from third-world countries, I mean, I take that as a message that they don’t want brown people coming to the United States. And I find that disturbing. We are a country that has always welcomed individuals that are struggling, that are fleeing famine and violence. And it would be a fundamental change to the fabric of our nation to change that.

I do not often go direct on this stuff, but Representative Mike Turner (Ohio, CD-10) is willfully participating in a Deep State operation.  This video below shows evidence of that operation.  Who is controlling him, and more importantly, who is paying him?  Ohio Wolverines need to dig hard and deep.

Before getting to the issue of the day, remember at the beginning of this Congress, even before President Trump was inaugurated at the behest of President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson previously removed House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Chairman Mike Turner from his position. Representative Mike Turner is no longer Chairman of HPSCI. This was a big loss for the Deep State.

The removal timing was not coincidental, as it followed President Trump announcing an intelligence advisory board headed by Devin Nunes {SEE HERE}. In addition to his manipulative support for Ukraine, in December of 2023 Chairman Turner lied about his FISA-702 renewal having support from Devin Nunes and John Ratcliffe {LINK}. Mike Turner was identified as a big LIAR.  He lied about Nunes.  In January of 2025, Turner was removed from the HPSCI chair.

In 2024, Mike Turner also claimed “his intel team” would control speaker Mike Johnson and ultimately control the office of the president {Go Deep}.  Now, watch this interview; you only need to watch the first part – the setup – to see Turner working an IC operation.  Look at the notes in front of him. Look at his instructions; the framework he is being told to follow.  Watch his eyes as he attempts to talk while referencing the material that has been provided to him.  They are not usually this obvious.  WATCH:

Mike Turner is running a Ukraine intelligence operation. The question is, who’s behind it?

[Transcript] – NANCY CORDES: We’re joined now by Ohio Republican Congressman Mike Turner. Congressman, thanks for being with us. Happy Thanksgiving.

REP. MIKE TURNER: Thank you, Nancy. Happy Thanksgiving to you also.

President Donald Trump answers questions from the media pool as he travels back to Washington DC aboard Air Force One.

President Trump discusses the current status of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the continued interception of narcotrafficking boats from Venezuela, the recent call with Nicholas Maduro, the pause on all immigration and the intent to exfiltrate migrants who do not support our nation.  Additionally, the issues of non-cohesive Somalia and Afghanistan immigrants (denaturalization) and a strong defense of War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

A very powerful impromptu press conference.  WATCH:

President Donald Trump is pushing hard against the boundaries of what the media can absorb. In a Truth Social post earlier today, President Trump notes that any document signed by autopen without the cognitive affirmation of Joe Biden is nulled.

This could have serious ramifications; however, I’m not sure how it could be enforced.

President Donald Trump – “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Earlier this month Ukrainian businessman Tymur Mindich, co-owner of Kvartal 95 the Ukrainian TV production company Volodymyr Zelenskyy founded before he became president, fled the country as the NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) announced results from a widespread corruption probe.

Money given to Ukraine for subsidies was being skimmed from the energy sector by several high-profile government and business officials. The NABU probe and raids on offices to discover document trails of the officials is ongoing.

Today, NABU officials raided the home of Andriy Yermak (pictured left), head of the Office of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Simultaneous with the raid, Zelenskyy announced the firing of Yermak from his office:

“There will be a reset of the Office of the President of Ukraine. The Head of the Office, Andriy Yermak, has submitted his resignation. I am grateful to Andriy for always representing Ukraine’s position on the negotiation track exactly as it should be represented. It has always been a patriotic position. But I want to eliminate any rumors and speculation.” (SOURCE)

As I shared earlier regarding the NABU investigation, I have personally seen these corrupt Ukraine characters (politicians and private sector oligarchs) in action, literally spending tens-of-thousands of U.S. taxpayer funds (in cash) at the Port of Montenegro while I was tracking them in 2023 and 2024.  They were staying in massive suites at the Regent Hotel, expensive boats and exotic cars with each. So please, don’t try to sell me on the honorable Ukraine politician schtick.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is worried the Russians will use the corruption story to undermine his government, so he has spent the past two weeks on the phone with his U.K/USA and EU benefactors trying to keep the supportive money flowing while his government officials skim the funds.

However, notice how quiet the U.S. Senate has been on this explosive story about Ukraine officials being caught skimming money.  The Senate is quiet because almost two-thirds of the senators are taking money from the laundry operation [LIST HERE].It’s not just Ukraine officials making money from the massive EU/USA funding scheme.

Following the news that National Guardswoman Sarah Beckstrom had died from her injuries, President Trump was not in the mood to listen to DC media pontificate about millions of illegal aliens and refugees who have been flooded into the United States.

Sarah Beckstrom was a 20-year-old West Virginia guard member who was murdered in an ambush-style shooting near the White House on Wednesday. She had volunteered to work the Thanksgiving holiday so that service members with children could spend time with their family. Beckstrom was the BEST OF US, and President Trump is visibly angry about her murder.

Following the videoconference with members of the armed forces serving overseas, President Trump took questions from the traveling press pool. Things got heated when the sympathetic media claimed the Afghan terrorist who murdered Beckstrom was brought into the US in 2021 by Joe Biden and given legal refugee status following his work with the CIA.

White House Senior Policy Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, appears on Fox News in the aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack that has left two national guard members critically injured.

Miller notes the 20+ million illegal aliens allowed in by Joe Biden and Barack Obama represent a grave national security threat that President Trump is now having to deal with.  WATCH:

Reverend Franklin Graham outlines the spiritual battle that needs to be faced.

“The streets of our cities are not safe. Another tragedy today as two National Guardsmen were shot and critically injured on duty just blocks from the White House. It is regrettable that in most of the big cities needing help, the Democratic leadership seems to be doing all they can to undermine law enforcement and the safety of residents by defunding the police, by not backing the National Guard who are there to protect, and by letting dangerous criminals with multiple convictions back out on the streets to harm again.”

“Our country not only needs prayer, but also President @realDonaldTrump as he is battling to fix these critical issues for us. Especially pray for these two severely injured National Guardsmen and their families. I wholeheartedly agree with President Trump as he told the nation today, “God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement.” Amen!”  ~ Franklin Graham

The shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome. Law enforcement said he is believed to have acted alone. Witnesses say Lakanwal shouted, “Allahu Akbar” as he carried out his premeditated attack.

Fox’s Bill Melugin revealed that his permission the be in the US expired in September 2025, and he has been living in the United States illegally ever since. According to follow-up reports, an American couple named Stanley & Valerie Creighton took in Rahmanullah Lakanwal & his family. They all lived in their Bellingham Washington home.

Lakanwal ambushed two National Guard members outside a metro station in downtown Washington, D.C. He was shot by a third Guard member. The first victim — a female Guard member — was struck immediately and collapsed where she stood. Lakanwal then took her firearm and shot her in the head before continuing to fire. According to CBS, the suspect was wielding a handgun, had four rounds in his firearm initially. After he fired them at two national guards, he then took the fallen Guardswoman’s weapon and used it to continue shooting, striking the second Guard member.

President Trump announced a surge of another 500 National Guard troops into Washington DC, and said, “we must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden.”  All Afghan immigration has been halted.  All current Afghan immigrants are being investigated.  WATCH:

.

VIA CBS – The Trump administration has paused the processing of all immigration applications for Afghan nationals following Wednesday’s shooting of two National Guard members, officials said, after the suspect detained in the shooting was identified as an Afghan national.

The global intelligence motive (5 Eyes) would be laughable if it were not so transparent.  In an effort to create problems for President Trump and the Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations, an unknown intelligence agency intercepted the call then provided a recording to Bloomberg News.

The intercept was not likely U.S-based, or the leak would be to a different media outlet (WaPo, NYT or Politico). The Bloomberg angle indicates a likely EU intelligence source, with one of the “coalition of the willing” (U.K, France, Germany, or Brussels) the most likely suspect.  Given the nature of the intercept, and the intent behind the leak, the British seem the most likely of sources.

The phone call itself is generally a non-issue.  Essentially President Trump emissary Steve Witkoff and Russian Foreign Policy Advisor Yuri Ushakov were discussing the best way for their two principals (Trump and Putin) to connect and discuss the potential for a peace plan on October 14, 2025.

Between the margins there’s something we have discussed at length on these pages, a coordinated messaging campaign between the Trump administration and the Putin administration with both private objectives and public statements aligned in common purpose.  The call itself is solid affirmation of our prior analysis of the relationship.

As we have long discussed, both President Trump and President Putin want to end the conflict.  However, the EU, NATO, British, French, German govts, as well as the U.S. congress and Ukraine want to keep the war continuing.

President Trump and President Putin both understand the nature of each other’s political position.  Thus, their communication is coordinated in public with back-channel messaging organized by their emissaries.

The October 14th call between the emissaries was intercepted, and with the Trump administration having brought Ukraine into the proximity of agreement, the call is leaked in an effort to weaken the plan sponsored by President Trump, Secretary Rubio and Emissary Witkoff.  Some unknown intelligence agency doesn’t want the peace deal to be finalized.

The transcript was prepared after Bloomberg reviewed a recording of the call.
