Zelensky does not want peace with Russia and President Trump has absolutely had it.

“This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelensky, and America will not put up with it for much longer! It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing and Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelensky, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S...."

Zelensky Calls Oval Office Meeting ‘Regrettable,’ Says He Is Ready to Negotiate, Thanks Trump:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday he was ready to come to the negotiating table to begin peace talks and expressed regret over last week’s meeting at the White House where he sparred with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance and blew a minerals deal with the U.S.

Zelensky wrote on X: 

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

“We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.

“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive,” he said.

He said “regarding the agreement on minerals and security” that “Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.”

Speaker Johnson Forcibly Removes Unhinged Al Green for Repeatedly Interrupting President Trump:

In a decisive move to uphold the House’s decorum, Speaker Mike Johnson intervened during Trump’s congressional speech to remove Representative Al Green (D-TX) following an outburst that interrupted President Donald Trump’s address.

The incident occurred as President Trump was outlining his administration’s achievements and future plans, a moment intended to inform and unify the nation.

Representative Al Green argued that President Trump lacks a mandate.

“Members are directed to uphold and maintain the quorum in the house and to cease any further disruptions. That’s your warning,” Speaker Johnson warned.
“Members are engaging in willful and continuing breach of the quorum, and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to the joint session. Mr. Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat.”

Even after being warned, the reckless Al Green brazenly persisted in disrupting Trump’s address with his shameless antics.

This outrageous violation of decorum forced Speaker Johnson to take decisive action, ordering the Sergeant-at-Arms to remove Green out of the chamber like the disgrace he is.

“Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concert a disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order. Remove this gentleman from the chamber,” Johnson said.

Trump 2.0: IRS to Cut Up to 50% of Its Workforce:

The Internal Revenue Service is planning on cutting up to 50% of its workforce.

There are currently 100,000 IRS employees. New plans to cut approximately 45,000 employees are in the works, according to ABC News.

Recall that the Biden Regime expanded the IRS and hired 88,000 agents to target the middle class.

According to The New York Times, the majority of the terminations were employees hired by the Biden Regime.

Additionally, in a blockbuster report from Bloomberg, the Trump administration has unveiled plans to unload a massive portfolio of 443 federal properties across 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico—properties bloated with bureaucracy, including the headquarters of the DOJ, FBI, and even the General Services Administration (GSA) itself.

CBS News Poll: Overwhelming Majority of Viewers Approve Trump’s Speech:

CBS News/YouGov survey interviewed a nationally representative sample of speech watchers immediately following Trump’s joint address to Congress, and the numbers will please the poll-mindful president.

The poll shows an astounding 76 percent of Americans viewing the speech approved of Trump’s remarks, with only 23 percent — less than a quarter — disapproving.

Sixty-eight percent of viewers described Trump’s speech as “hopeful,” with a majority also describing it as “presidential,” “inspiring,” “unifying,” and “entertaining.”

A clear majority of Americans watching the speech also said the president spent a lot of time on issues they cared about, the survey found.

Finally, over three-quarters of viewers approved of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ordering the Sergeant at Arms to eject the unruly Rep. Al Green (D-TX) for disrupting the president’s speech despite warnings.

Missouri Attorney General Bailey Demands DOJ Investigate if Biden’s Cognitive Decline Allowed Staffers to Make Decisions without His Knowledge:

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey asked the Justice Department to investigate whether White House staffers exploited Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and issued far-left orders at the end of his presidency without his knowledge.

“I am demanding the DOJ investigate whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Bailey wrote.

“If in fact Biden’s staffers were exploiting his mental decline, those orders are null and void,” he added.

Andrew Bailey cited Joe Biden’s decision to commute the federal death sentences of nearly 40 prisoners on death row.

“Staffers and the Vice President cannot constitutionally evade accountability by laundering far-left orders through a man who does not know what he is signing. If in fact this has been occurring, then all those orders are void,” Bailey said.

The Justice Department defended not bringing charges against Biden because he’s a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Additionally, Bailey pointed out that Joe Biden previously admitted to Speaker Johnson that he did not remember signing an executive order on a moratorium on energy exports to Europe.

Who was making the decisions?

The Oversight Project has gathered every document they could find with Biden’s signature – ALL used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 election.

Trump admin slashes $400 million in grants and contracts from Columbia University over attacks from anti-Israel protesters:

The Trump administration announced the end of $400 million worth of grants and contracts to Columbia University after the institution failed to protect Jewish students from anti-Semitic attacks.

Anti-Israel protesters have organized destructive demonstrations in an attempt to force the university to divest from companies that are owned by Israelis or financially benefit Israel. The Trump administration alleges that the university has not done enough to tamp down the protests and protect its Jewish students from "harassment."

The statement said this was just the first round of repercussions and that other actions would follow.

The action was attributed to the Joint Task Force to fight Anti-Semitism.

"The Task Force is continuing to review and coordinate across federal agencies to identify additional cancellations that could be made swiftly. DOJ, HHS, ED, and GSA are taking this action as members of the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. Columbia University currently holds more than $5 billion in federal grant commitments," the statement continued.

“Universities must comply with all federal antidiscrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding," read a statement from Secretary of Education Linda McMahon.

"For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus," she added. "Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer.”

Trump targets activists' frivolous lawsuits with financial penalties:

President Donald Trump signed a memo on Thursday requesting federal judges impose financial penalties on "activist groups" who file "meritless" lawsuits against the government.

The memo aims to deter judicial overreach and frivolous complaints.

The fact sheet noted that injunctions "cost taxpayers millions or even billions of dollars."

The Trump administration accused "activist," "unelected district judges" of granting "sweeping injunctions beyond their authority."

"Activist groups file meritless suits for fundraising and political gain, facing no consequences when they lose, while taxpayers bear the costs and delays," the fact sheet read. "The Justice Department is forced to divert resources from public safety to fight these frivolous cases, weakening effective governance."

It added, "Enforcing Rule 65(c) deters such litigation by holding plaintiffs accountable for costs and damages if their injunctions are baseless, protecting taxpayer funds and judicial integrity."

After less than two months in office, the Trump administration is already facing more than 100 lawsuits from legal groups, labor unions, and other plaintiffs challenging several of the president's executive actions.

DOGE: VA Cancels $56,000 Contract to Water 8 Potted Plants:

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has uncovered and cancelled a $56,000 contract it was paying to a “plant contractor” to water eight decorative potted plants — with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) promising to water them “free of charge” from now on.

“The VA cancelled a $56,000 contract to water ~8 plants for 5 years. This is ~$1400/plant/year,” DOGE, led by Elon Musk, said in a Thursday night X post:

“The contract has been canceled and DOGE will water the plants free of charge,” the department added, along with photos of a pair of the VA’s potted plants next to a sign reading “Please do not water these plants. These plants are serviced by a plant contractor.”

The latest, smaller cut comes after new VA Secretary Doug Collins announced bigger slashes to wasteful spending, including $2 billion in contracts last week, Breitbart News reported.

According to the secretary, who was confirmed by the Senate in early February after being nominated by President Donald Trump, millions of dollars were being paid to consultants to create PowerPoint presentations and take meeting minutes.

Collins asserted that the saved money will be “put back into healthcare, benefits, and making sure we’re doing what the VA is supposed to do.”
