Negotiators from Russia and Ukraine met in Istanbul, Turkey, on Friday, marking the first meeting between the two countries since 2022 due to mounting pressure from President Donald Trump. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan addressed the negotiators at Dolmabahce Palace on Friday, urging the two countries to reach a ceasefire agreement as soon as possible. "There are two paths ahead of us: One road will take us on a process that will lead to peace, while the other will lead to more destruction and death," Fidan said. "The sides will decide on their own, with their own will, which path they choose." Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is “characterized by a Gleason score of 9,” his office revealed in a statement Sunday. “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the press release said. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/05/18/joe-biden-diagnosed-with-prostate-cancer/ The autopen scandal just erupted into a full-blown constitutional crisis. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed in a bombshell interview with Jason Chaffetz that his committee has identified the shadowy White House staffers responsible for wielding President Joe Biden’s infamous autopen during a period when Biden was “clearly in mental decline.” The autopen scandal first erupted in March when President Trump, in a fiery late-night Truth Social post, declared Joe Biden’s autopen pardons “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.” The New York Post knows the name of the key Biden aide, but they did not disclose their identity in Friday’s bombshell report. An insider told The New York Post that he feared this key Biden aide: “I feared no one as much as I feared that [staffer]. To me, [the staffer] basically was the president,” the person said. “No one ever questioned [the staffer]. Period.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/rep-james-comer-says-staffers-behind-bidens-autopen/ WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is trying to blame President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for a Mexican Navy tall ship hitting the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday, leaving two people dead. The Senate Minority Leader further claimed it was due to a hiring freeze at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but the U.S. Coast Guard is pushing back on his arguments. “We know that the Trump administration has been meddling in U.S. Coast Guard operations, from staffing to command and comms, and I have the general sense of a DOGE dysfunction in parts of the Coast Guard, to put it mildly,” Schumer wrote in his statement. However, the Fox article noted there were no additional ships linked to the incident that would have involved the VTS, and the Coast Guard countered Schumer’s claims about the crash, which also injured more than a dozen people. According to the USCG, the VTS was “fully functional during the incident and operating in accordance with established procedures to manage commercial traffic and facilitate safe navigation.” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said a mechanical issue caused the ship to lose power and the water’s current pushed the ship backward, which caused it to hit the bridge, per WRAL.
