Trump Hangs Up Sign In White House 'You Must Be This Tall To Receive Foreign Aid' WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following an explosive meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump sought to make sure it never happens again by hanging a sign up that reads "You must be this tall to receive foreign aid." The sign, which prominently displayed a red line indicating the required height a world leader must be to receive U.S. funding, was placed prominently on display in the Oval Office next to a painting of John Adams.

Zelensky Tries Bold New Strategy Of Insulting The People He's Begging For Money From WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an unusual tactic rarely seen in high-level negotiations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to try insulting the people he was begging for money from. Zelensky further decided that the best place to insult that person would be their work office, surrounded by dozens of colleagues, with several cameras recording the insult. "It is unorthodox, but I firmly believe going into a person's country, visiting them in their home, and then insulting them on national television is the best way to earn their trust and support," he explained.

Trump Assures PM Starmer England Still His Favorite Muslim Country WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump extended an olive branch to the United Kingdom on Thursday, telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer that England was still his favorite out of all the Muslim countries. According to sources, Starmer had been apprehensive ahead of his meeting with Trump due to their agendas appearing to be at odds with each other, but that all changed when Trump told him that, of all the Muslim countries in the world, England was the best. "I love all people, even Muslims. Especially the British Muslims," Trump told Starmer. "Of all the Muslims in the world, no one is more civilized than the English. I mean, you're still melting faces off of women and stabbing each other, but [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-assures-starmer-england-still-his-favorite-of-all-the-muslim-countries

Zelensky Kicking Himself For Not Wearing His More Formal Olive Green T-Shirt To White House Meeting [...] While talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine continued regarding territory holdings, security guarantees, and mineral deals, the Ukrainian president was forced to take criticism from President Donald Trump about his attire, leading him to regret not putting on his fancier dress t-shirt. "I should have broken out my best t-shirt for this," Zelenskyy reportedly muttered to himself as he left the Oval Office.

FBI Investigation Shows Epstein List Shredded Itself WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a thorough 3-minute investigation, the FBI announced that the highly anticipated Epstein list had shredded itself. The list, which had long been purported to link human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to elites around the globe and was allegedly so damning that it threatened to bring down Hollywood, Congress, and Prince Andrew, apparently shredded itself and no one at the FBI remembered what it said. "We have no idea how this could have happened," said spokesman Special Agent Sean Kellar. "The list must have [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/fbi-investigation-shows-epstein-list-shredded-itself

'President Asked Zelensky To Leave': Ukraine Talks Blow Up in Oval Office Volodymyr Zelensky did not wear a suit and the Ukrainian president did not sign a minerals deal with the United States, either. Instead, the wartime leader was unceremoniously kicked out of the White House after tangling with President Trump and Vice President Vance. Trump has been pushing for an end to the land war in Europe since returning to office, meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer this week to find a path to peace. Those meetings went well. His sit-down with Zelensky did not. The breakdown occurred when Zelensky [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/02/28/president_asked_zelensky_to_leave_ukraine_talks_blow_up_in_oval_office_152440.html

This is truly eye-opening. Comments? Specifically, do you think that DOGE can help counteract this, or is it all too deeply embedded? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10 Secret Bureaucrat Cheats Bureaucrats cheat taxpayers. The Federal Government is not a business. Employees do not lose their jobs when work is unfinished, performance subpar, or they fail to show up. They do not get fired if money is diverted, false invoices are paid, bids exceed market, promises are broken, deliveries are late, employees are bribed, and money is wasted. For decades, no one cared. Bureaucrats cheat – here's how. As a former congressional oversight investigator for five years, later managing two billion dollars at State for George W. Bush and Colin Powell, I was empowered to find that waste, restore accountability, reprogram money, end cozy contractor relationships, and claw money back. I did. In the process, I learned 10 ways the bureaucracy and contractors cheat the taxpayers: [...] https://amac.us/newsline/society/10-secret-bureaucrat-cheats/

This is ultra-pleasurable to read... and dead-nuts accurate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pitiful lefty White House press corps whines about access after barely making a peep when Biden was AWOL in office [...] In the absence of access to the president or real news to report, the pool contented itself with secondhand stories about Biden family life, doled out like party favors by unnamed White House staff. "President Biden has expressed a preference for a fire built in the Oval Office fireplace, and sometimes adds a log himself to keep it going," was an example of CNN's hard-hitting analysis. Trump, on the other hand, has taken more than 1,000 questions from reporters and is available every day. He invites reporters into his suite on Air Force One, conducts impromptu press conferences in the Oval Office while signing executive orders, holds regular press conferences that exhaust every question. Wednesday, he invited the media to observe his first cabinet meeting for about an hour. It's the most transparent presidency in history, and yet the New York Times is comparing it to the Kremlin.

The jerk doesn't even have the courtesy to wear a suit and tie. The MSM will absolutely barbecue Pres. Trump over this. Zelenskii acted like a petulant child, rolling his eyes in disdain. Time for an overthrow.

Pentagon Orders Discharge of Transgenders The Department of Defense has issued new guidance ordering the military services to begin the process of discharging transgender members of the Armed Forces in 30 days. The new policy recognizes only two sexes; it requires members of the Armed Forces to adhere to the physical fitness and grooming standards of their biological sex. Any attempt at chemically or surgically changing sex makes the person unsuitable for military service. If a person had, at some point, been transgender they can be retained if they [...] https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/02/27/pentagon-orders-discharge-of-transgenders-n2186073

Pro-Hamas University Students Are About to Get Their Comeuppance Thanks to Trump DOJ [...] According to a report from Israel's Channel 12 News on Wednesday, a DOJ task force is looking into the pro-Hamas demonstrations that took place on college campuses after the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, which saw the murder of 1,200 innocents, as well as kidnappings and rapes. This task force is being led by Leo Terrell, who told Channel 12 that those who actively attempted to restrain Jewish people from attending class on campus or attempted to intimidate them will be seeing jail time, according to Jewish News Syndicate: [...] https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2025/02/27/pro-hamas-university-students-are-about-to-get-their-comeuppance-thanks-to-trump-doj-n2186084

Pro-Palestinian Protesters Storm the Dean's Office at Barnard College After Two Students Expelled Last month, on the first day of classes for the new term, several pro-Palestinian protesters entered a classroom where the "History of Modern Israel" was being taught. They handed out flyers showing a boot crushing the Star of David and made it impossible for the instructor to continue. Two of the students who disrupted the class were expelled. This brought a reaction from some pro-Palestinian activists who stormed the dean's office and proceeded to have a "sit-in."

Very sad. ~~~~~~~~~ Gene Hackman and Wife's Deaths Now Being Investigated as 'Suspicious' Legendary actor and two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead Wednesday afternoon at their home in the Santa Fe Summit community northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed shortly after midnight Thursday that the couple had passed away along with their dog. While Mendoza did not disclose a cause of death or specify when they might have died, he stated in an interview that there were no immediate signs of foul play. Immediate speculation centered around the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, but a new report indicates that authorities are investigating their deaths as "suspicious."
