BREAKING: President Trump Announces “Russia and Ukraine will Immediately Start Negotiations Toward a Ceasefire” Following Phone Call with Putin – Says Russia “Wants to do Largescale TRADE with the United States”

President Trump announced on Monday after an hour-long phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin that a ceasefire and end to the war with Ukraine is imminent.

Trump campaigned on ending the war, and it appears they have finally reached a deal.

He further stated that “Russia wants to do largescale TRADE with the United States.”

“The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent,” Trump said.
“Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately.”

Ivy League University Staff Pays the Price for School’s Stubbornness:

Columbia University’s recent decision to lay off nearly 180 staff members is a stark reminder of the real-world consequences of elitist posturing.

The cuts, reported by multiple outlets, including Fox News and NBC News, were prompted by the revocation of $400 million in federal grants under the Trump administration, highlighting the school’s stubborn refusal to adapt to reasonable demands.

The Trump administration’s mandate was clear: protect Jewish students from rampant anti-Semitism on campus, or lose federal funding. Columbia chose defiance, and now its employees are suffering.

Incoming DOJ Investigation? Trump Demands Investigation Into Kamala Harris’s “Illegal Payments” to Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah and Bono for Endorsements Disguised as “Entertainment”

Trump: “HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???

I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.

In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic “entertainers,” this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”

Trump said the Democrats illegally paid to get the endorsement of Oprah, Beyoncé, Al Sharpton and others.

“Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al? I don’t think so! Beyoncé didn’t sing, Oprah didn’t do much of anything (she called it “expenses”), and Al is just a third rate Con Man. So what is going on here??? Totally against the law, and I have heard there are many others!!!” Trump said on Truth Social last year.

Promises Made, Promises Kept: Memorial Day Set For Lowest Gas Prices in Over 20 Years:

Americans celebrating Memorial Day by hitting the road will likely be paying the cheapest gas prices since 2003.

GasBuddy, a fuel savings platform, said Tuesday that it forecasts the national average price of gasoline to be $3.08 per gallon on Memorial Day. That would make it the cheapest since 2021 in nominal terms. After adjusting for inflation, it would be the lowest since 2003.

This is not expected to be short-lived. Prices of gasoline are expected to average around $3.02 per gallon between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with prices falling below three dollars on some days.

That’s likely to bring cheer to the 69 percent of Americans who plan on taking a road trip this summer.

 “American road trip culture remains resilient,” GasBuddy said in a news release announcing their 2025 Summer Travel Survey.

Last summer, the national average price of gasoline was $3.58 per gallon on Memorial Day. This year’s lower price reflects increased oil production that has lowered crude oil prices. A barrel of Brent Crude, the global standard for oil prices, is currently priced at $65.07, down significantly from the $83.71 a year ago.
