Trump adds RFK Jr., Gabbard to presidential transition team
Former President Trump has tapped Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) to his transition team, bringing both aboard in formal roles on the heels of their endorsements.
“As President Trump’s broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across partisan lines, we are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team,” senior campaign adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement. “We look forward to having their powerful voices on the team as we work to restore America’s greatness.”
The New York Times first reported that Kennedy and Gabbard were joining the transition team.
Kennedy had all but confirmed his new role during a recent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“I’ve been asked to go on to the transition team, you know, to help pick the people who will be running the government, and I’m looking forward to that,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy last week suspended his independent White House bid and endorsed Trump, a move the former president’s campaign has argued will give him a boost in battleground states where Kennedy was pulling support away from Trump.
Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022 and has since become a regular presence in conservative media, endorsed Trump on Monday. Gabbard has also been assisting Trump ahead of a debate with Vice President Harris on Sept. 10. — The Hill
Our Take: Monday, we learned that—as predicted—the Uniparty Establishment was going to trot out all its faux bipartisanism in order to paper over the sociopolitical horror show that is the Kamala candidacy by appealing to the American people not to worry about it, because everyone from the Clinton Crime Family to the Obama and Bush Regimes are totally cool with it, and in fact, are the ones actually making the decisions.
This was considered to be a wacky conspiracy theory just a few years ago, and now it’s not only a stark, naked reality to the American Mind, but it’s actually being promoted by the very collectivist cretins who should be doing anything but.
On the other side of the bracket, we’ve got Donald Trump bringing true unity to the American electorate by welcoming in RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, two disaffected liberals appealing to common sense as a common goal.
If you scripted it, it couldn’t be going any better from a mass psychological perspective.
Then again, if you had REALLY good writers … I suppose you could. —
Zelensky To Present 'Victory Plan' To Harris & Trump In September
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet once again with US President Joe Biden, reportedly set for September. On Tuesday Zelensky revealed that he intends at that time to present the White House with a plan for victory against Russia. But more important is what happens after the US presidential election..
He specified that his plan will also be directly presented to Vice President Kamala Harris as well as former President Donald Trump as the two candidates head into the November election.
"The plan is prepared. I think it’s right that I first present this plan to the US President." Zelensky was quoted in Ukrainian media as saying. "The success of this plan depends on whether we get what is outlined in it, or if we are free to use what is included."
"Kursk region is part of our plan—Ukraine's victory plan. It may sound overly ambitious to some, but for us, it's an important plan," Zelensky continued. — ZeroHedge
Our Take: The latest peace-mongering coming out of the Ukraine theater hits on a few concepts we discuss quite a bit at Badlands, and which traverse various layers of the Collective Mind.
A surface-level reading demonstrates that Ukraine is currently in the midst of a possibly successful, possibly catastrophic (depending on the source) incursion/counter offensive in Kursk, Russia, but that they’re only realistically using said counter offensive in order to set terms at the negotiating table they refused to acknowledge existed as recently as six months ago.
Along the way, Zelenskyy continues to (narratively) bite the hand that feeds by casting aspersions on the Establishment, now represented by Kamala Harris, accusing them of withholding necessary aid and support that could put them in an even better position when it comes to repelling the Russian ‘invasion.’
Of course, when you reframe Zelenskyy as ours (patriots’) in either a covert (captured) or overt (planted,) manner, he continues to accomplish the job of permanently damaging both the Prussian Proxy State he leads as well as the Western Globalist hegemon that propped it up in the first place with each deployment, both narratively and kinetically.
Digging even deeper, we might see that Zelenskyy continues to seed in Donald Trump’s name to his recent deployments, moving steadily along Overton’s Goalpost by first scoffing at Trump’s offers to broker peace before now openly appealing for his input, all of which is helping to prep formerly unreachable layers of the Collective Mind to accept Trump as the peacemaker in waiting some of us have been claiming he’d be for years.
This will and is all occurring against the backdrop of the powers that currently (seem to) be failing to broker said peace despite continued appeals by the parties most in need of its actualization … just another link in the Crisis Cascade that continues to haunt the Deep State.
Finally, when it comes to the actual peace deal that will inevitably be signed by Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin—and that will very likely be (publicly) brokered by Trump—I have maintained a sneaking suspicion that it will look an awful lot like the original victory terms Putin first laid out in February 2022 on the back of his announcement of the Special Military Operation he referred to as a DeNazification effort … and which Trump himself continues to softly cosign by suggesting Ukraine leave the Donbas to its ‘invaders’ … or liberators, depending on how closely you’ve been paying attention to the war beneath the war.
In summary, peace is coming, and the peacemakers are already on the edges of the game board. The rest is a matter of timing, and storytelling, while the clowns currently occupying the position of pawns continue to wobble and tip under the weight of mass expectation and psychological duress. —
Putin, Modi Discuss Bilateral Relations, Situation in Ukraine Over Phone
The recent meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Russia on July 8-9 highlighted the ongoing dialogue and collaboration between Russia and India on key issues.
Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
"Putin is working in the Kremlin today. Earlier, just an hour ago, Putin held an international telephone conversation; he spoke with his colleague from India, Modi. We will soon give a detailed report, where we will tell you what was discussed during this conversation," Peskov told reporters.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that he had discussed with Russian President Vladimir Putin bilateral relations and the conflict in Ukraine.
"Spoke with President Putin today. Discussed measures to further strengthen Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership. Exchanged perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and my insights from the recent visit to Ukraine. Reiterated India’s firm commitment to support an early, abiding, and peaceful resolution of the conflict," Modi wrote on X.
Narendra Modi has briefed Vladimir Putin on his visit to Ukraine during a phone conversation, noting India's interest in contributing to a possible settlement of the situation, the Kremlin said. — Sputnik
Our Take: Remember when I speculated yesterday that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was likely dispatched to Kiev by the Sovereign Alliance to deliver a message to Zelensky?
Well, it appears that we have now gotten some confirmation of that speculation.
(Putin just can't wipe that shit-eating-grin off of his face.)
It's not like my analysis was as a huge stretch. Those who were tracking remember that Modi visited Putin back in early July. It was a total love fest.
Just a couple of bros, being dudes and saving the world.
From the article:
Narendra Modi has briefed Vladimir Putin on his visit to Ukraine during a phone conversation, noting India's interest in contributing to a possible settlement of the situation, the Kremlin said.
Translation: "Message delivered, Vlad."
Putin, in turn, gave a fundamental assessment of "the destructive line of the Kiev authorities and their Western patrons, outlining the key Russian approaches to ways of resolving the conflict," the statement read.
Translation: "FAFO, NATO."
In unrelated news, Business Insider is reporting that Russia is signaling that it intends to take out the West's internet and GPS.
Zelensky is also flexing about his invasion of Kursk.
On Badlands Daily this week, I promised everybody that we would do a deep dive on Kursk, its historic significance, how the Russians developed the strategy to defeat blitzkrieg, and why Kursk will likely (once again) become the doom of the Nazi regime.
Tune in on Monday to hear more. —
Secret Service bombshell: Mike Pence escape car left its position during Jan. 6, redactions reveal
The Secret Service failures at last month’s Trump rally were foreshadowed in once-redacted passages from a Jan. 6 after-action report that was shared with agency brass weeks before the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt and exposed harrowing blunders that may have put the lives of Mike Pence and Kamala Harris in jeopardy.
The redacted sections from a recently released Homeland Security inspector general report, obtained by Just the News, chronicle how Pence’s escape vehicle left its post without explicit permission and left him stranded at an increasingly violent scene at the Capitol.
They also detail how Secret Service agents lost contact with each other on radios and cell phones that dropped signals and how a required explosives detection team wasn’t deployed when Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris was mistakenly whisked past a live pipe bomb just before the Capitol riot started.
The April 2024 report also revealed that the Secret Service received intelligence from the FBI and U.S. Postal Service Inspection Service ahead of Jan. 6, 2021, warning that there was a “high potential for civil unrest” from individuals who were expected to be "heavily armed."
The Secret Service did not adapt its security plan from its normal five-person detail inside the Capitol used for ordinary congressional visits, leaving agents and officers undermanned as violence surrounded them. — Just the News
Our Take: This article was published Monday, August 26. With that in mind, consider this:
‘The redacted passages were belatedly shared with House and Senate oversight committees in recent days.’
There was a Prime Time, highly-produced, reportedly bipartisan (actually unipartisan), and obviously super serious Congressional committee following January 6.
The committee gave the corporate-owned media fodder for years, but the report wasn’t just a media play. It was admitted in President Trump’s 14 Amendment case last year, where Colorado commies attempted to remove 45 from the ballot. The Court relied upon it in her findings, which created the ‘oath breaking insurrectionists’ narrative that the regime still peddles.
The revelation about more information being withheld from the committee and its report is stunning when you consider the impact both had in shaping the false reality for modern American society.
We already knew that Speaker Nancy Pelosi — her communications, decision-making, leadership — were off limits for the committee. We also knew that many relevant witnesses were never called, off-narrative testimony and evidence were suppressed, and the committee destroyed their records shortly after their ‘work’ was completed. These are all legitimate actions for a representative body intent on finding and documenting the truth, right?
Now, even more egregiously and inexplicably, we learn that these failures were redacted in the IG report until earlier this year — 2024!
Consider:
‘The full report – complete with passages showing the most sensitive information about Jan. 6 security blunders was shared with Secret Service management and its Homeland Security overseers in April.’
On its face, this is gross incompetence, negligence, and high crimes. It’s not implausible that the bureaucratic failure to address these prior ‘shortcomings’ paved the way for the assassination attempt on President Trump on July 13.
Why were protective agencies not engaged in after action reviewed and remedial trainings as a result of the failures? Why was this information suppressed during Anderson v. Griswold? Why is this only coming out now? This reeks of weaponized justice as a cover for textbook corruption.
That being said, this could also be a devo proof. If this critical information was withheld — from those with constitutional oversight— for the past three years, who is actually running things these days?
What a time to be alive. —
Zuckerberg regrets bowing to Biden 'pressure' over Covid
Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg says he regrets bowing to what he calls pressure from the Biden administration to "censor" content on Facebook and Instagram during the coronavirus pandemic.
In a letter sent to a US House committee chair, he said some material – including humour and satire – was taken down in 2021 under pressure from senior officials.
The White House has defended its actions, saying it encouraged "responsible actions to protect public health and safety".
Mr Zuckerberg also said his firm briefly "demoted" content relating to Joe Biden's son, Hunter, ahead of the 2020 election, after the FBI warned of "a potential Russian disinformation" operation.
It later became clear that this content was not part of such an operation, Mr Zuckerberg said, and it should not have been temporarily taken down.
Mr Zuckerberg did not give further detail about the actions he regretted during the pandemic. At that time, his business removed posts for a variety of reasons.
Mr Zuckerberg said the decisions made were the decisions of his business, but that the “government pressure was wrong”.
He continued: "We made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn't make today."
Mr Zuckerberg said he and Meta would be ready to "push back" if something similar happened in the future. — BBC
Our Take: This week, we've got Mark Zuckerberg, the most notorious of the social media censor czars disclosing what those of us who've been on the wrong end of it already knew: he hasn't just carried water for the Globalist regime, but has actually acted as a key vector of its enforcement arm.
In a war defined by the dissemination, obfuscation and cultivation of information itself, censorship is an act of war, and those who engage in it should and likely will be considered enemy combatants, at least when it comes time for the (new) justice system to take a look at them.
At the same time, the current epicenter of faux Globalist power, France is holding the founder of the most open social media platform in the world, Telegram in prison on a cascade of charges that wouldn't look out of place in an Orwell novel.
He just so happens to be Russian.
To some, these convergences are signs of enemy control.
To me, they're signs of enemy panic, and patriot narrative control.

Macron, Zelensky Plan to Destabilize Sahel, Says Head of Cameroon News Agency
Earlier, reports appeared on social media in West Africa that the Ukrainian embassy in Côte d'Ivoire was financing and supplying weapons to terrorists in the north of the country to attack neighboring Burkina Faso.
French President Emmanuel Macron, with the help of his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, intends to destabilize the countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), which includes Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, according to Xavier Messe a Tiati, director general of the Cameroon News Agency.
"We turned to our sources in the AES countries, particularly in Burkina Faso," the official said. "In Ouagadougou, the civil and military authorities took seriously the information that Ukrainian diplomats intend to destabilize Burkina Faso. Ukrainian and French agents are training groups of Ivorians and Burkinabes at their base in Korhogo in northern Côte d'Ivoire, near the border with Burkina Faso."
Tiati added, "They intend to carry out actions to stir up the population [in Burkina Faso] and provoke a response from the regular forces, who will be forced to restore order through repressive measures. If the restoration of order is carried out harshly, the personnel of the French military base in Bouaké [Côte d'Ivoire] will have a pretext to intervene in events in Burkina Faso to protect the lives of civilians."
According to the director general of the Cameroon News Agency, Macron and Zelensky want to defeat the AES "to make it more difficult for Russia to act in Africa." — Sputnik
Our Take: I feel like the big picture on "infinite funding for Ukraine" is starting to come into focus.
About a month ago, a Wagner Group unit (50 +/- men) were reportedly ambushed by an ISIS cell comprised of Taureg militants in Mali. (The Taureg are a subset of the Berber—an ethnicity of people who all speak a dialect of the Berber language, who inhabitant the Atlas Mountains of Northwest Africa.)
For quick breakdown, here are maps that show the activity of the Wagner Group, and the Africa-based ISIS cells.
A video of the Ukrainian ambassador subsequently went viral on social media, where the ambassador praised ISIS for slaughtering the Wagner Group unit. The government of Senegal summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to answer for his comments. The government of Mali severed ties with Ukraine, entirely, leading to Ukraine explicitly denying any involvement in the attack. (The MSM ran cover for Ukraine, of course.) Almost a year ago, to the day, Niger expelled their French ambassador.
Perhaps Ukraine is being used to launder US tax dollars to ISIS and other proxy militias operating around the world. It seems rather reckless, from an optics standpoint, but it's hard to dismiss the notion that all of this is connected. Now we have Macron and Zelensky being jointly blamed for financing weapons to violent militants (ISIS,) who are using those weapons to attack the Wagner Group and the militaries of various African nations.
I guess now that MBS took out Bin Talal and his other corrupt cousins who were financing ISIS, now their funding comes almost directly from the US tax payer, via Ukraine and NATO.
Oh wait, here's an article from 2019 entitled, "How Ukraine became the unlikely home for Isis leaders escaping the caliphate." —
The Country that NATO and the West are Losing to Russia
Across the country of Georgia, the gold-starred blue flags of the European Union fly above everything from government ministries to tiny local police stations and seem almost as ubiquitous as the red and white national flag with its cross of St. George.
But despite the enduring pro-Western symbolism and overwhelming popular support for joining the EU and NATO, it is President Vladimir Putin's Russia that is in the ascendant as the Georgian government's relationship with the United States and other Western powers goes downhill fast. While Western countries have trumpeted the way Russia's war in Ukraine has strengthened solidarity and brought both Finland and Sweden into the NATO camp, once-aspiring member Georgia appears headed in the other direction.
Georgia's population of 3.7 million is only one-third that of its namesake U.S. state, and the Caucasus is not at the top of U.S. concerns at a time of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. But the region is strategically important. It lies on the southern border of Russia and to the north of Iran as well as being a transit route for energy pipelines. Whether the West is able to keep Georgia within its own zone of influence is being closely watched by countries weighing their options in a world in which the U.S. has lost the dominance it held at the end of the Cold War.
Pro-Western opponents of Georgia's government describe what they believe is a hybrid war for control by Russia and fear that an election in October could be the last chance to reverse the shift. — Newsweek
Our Take: It seems strange that the CIA would be so obsessive over controlling a country with a population of only 3.5 million people. But it begins to make more sense once you review the map for the North-South Transportation Corridor— the trade route being established by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which is becoming the eastern counterpart to NATO (minus the Unipolarity, high fashion and Nazi ideology).
As you can see, Georgia is a strategic chokepoint of this new trade route, which threatens the Unipolar World Order—the imperialist/corporatist scum who have ruled the earth for centuries. (aka the "satanic pedophiles" that we have heard so much about.)
This is likely why EU oligarchs threatened Georgia Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze "with the same fate of [Slovakian Prime Minister] Robert Fico," just a week after Fico was shot five times in the chest.
Of course, one of the EU oligarchs (Oliver Varhelyi) felt obliged to come forward and assert that these comments were "taken out of context."
In what universe is telling a European leader that he "better be careful, or he will face the same fate as the other European leader that was just shot in the chest five times last week," not an assassination threat, and simply taken out of context?
Oliver Varhelyi, you are a complete and total sociopath, and clearly a very dangerous person. Children should not be allowed in your general vicinity.
It makes me so happy to hear that Putin is kicking NATO's ass. What an evil organization of misfits, marauders, and murderers. I just hope that Putin keeps his word and forgoes any peace talks, and goes after the Nazi high command. Those guys really deserve whatever is coming for them. —
Author of ‘White Fragility’ Accused of Plagiarizing Minorities
Robin DiAngelo, author of the book White Fragility, has been accused of plagiarizing minority writers.
The Washington Free Beacon recently obtained a complaint filed with the University of Washington outlining 20 instances of alleged plagiarism in her 2004 doctoral thesis, Whiteness in Racial Dialogue: A Discourse Analysis. Per the New York Post:
Among the examples cited are two paragraphs reproduced almost entirely from Northeastern University’s Thomas Nakayama — who is Asian-American — and coauthor Robert Krizek, in which DiAngelo fails to provide adequate attribution.
Another example in the complaint shows DiAngelo allegedly playing fast and loose with a paragraph written by Asian-American professor Stacey Lee of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In it, rather than clearly delineating that Lee had summarized the work of scholar David Theo Goldberg, the information was presented in such a way to appear as though DiAngelo herself was providing the summary herself.
Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars, said that DiAngelo’s work rises to the level of “forgery” in certain circles. “It is never appropriate to use the secondary source without acknowledging it, and even worse to present it as one’s own words. That’s plagiarism,” said Wood.
When questioned about the accusations, University of Washington spokeswoman Dana Robinson Slote told NY Post, “We are committed to the integrity of research conducted at the University of Washington. All complaints are carefully reviewed.”
As noted by the Free Beacon, DiAngelo remained a relatively obscure professor upon the publication of her book until the death of George Floyd in 2020 shot her to national stardom. — Breitbart
Our Take: In the wake of George Floyd’s controversial death, Robin DiAngelo was ubiquitous. ‘White Fragility’ became a staple in globalist-run American circles.
‘DiAngelo has become a staple of teacher trainings, corporate affinity groups, fundraisers, and antiracist book clubs.’
Can confirm.
In the summer of 2020, as ‘Racial Justice Task Force’ affinity groups spread like wildfire through both my firm and my clients’ companies, ‘White Fragility’ was required reading. If you didn’t want to read it, you were deemed fragile and afraid of confronting your own whiteness. It was a fun time for all of us.
Now it comes out that DiAngelo, largely celebrated as a heroine for racial justice, allegedly stole other people’s words. And not just ‘other people’s’ words. The allegations are that she stole the intellectual property of minorities and presented it as her own.
Yikes.
She probably thought the words would have a greater impact coming from an enlighten but still privileged white woman than they’d have from their original authors. The solution to white fragility, after all, is a solid white savior complex.
Now realize that the super tolerant and empathetic people will likely defend DiAngelo’s alleged forgery and plagiarism of minority writers’ intellectual property.
It’s bound to be some variation of, ‘she stole from them to help them!’
DiAngelo is one of the key architects of weaponized empathy as a means for social change. And, according to these new allegations, she’s a fraud.

Russia Close to Starting Trials of Crypto Payments, Exchanges
Russia is close to starting trials of cryptocurrency exchanges and the use of digital tokens for cross-border transactions to help ease payment difficulties for companies in the country, which has been hit by international sanctions.
The trials will start Sept. 1, said two people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be named discussing private information. Russia will use the National Payment Card System for swapping between rubles and cryptocurrencies when testing payments and the exchange platform, they said.
Russia’s parliament in July passed bills legalizing crypto mining and a framework to allow the testing of digital tokens for cross-border payments under supervision by the central bank. President Vladimir Putin signed the bills into law on Aug. 8.
The experiment with crypto comes as Russian businesses face growing obstacles in paying overseas suppliers and getting paid for exported commodities. Those challenges stem from a US move in June that widened the parameters for determining whether to impose sanctions on foreign banks working with Russia.
As recently as January 2022, just weeks before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the central bank proposed a blanket ban on the use and creation of cryptocurrencies. — Bloomberg
Our Take: In recent weeks, we've seen western media fear-mongering over the continued full-scale push by Russia, China, India and other BRICS nations into a decentralized financial landscape.
The irony, of course being that western sanctions following Russia's DeNazification effort in Ukraine ostensibly prompted this continued pull away from the US petrodollar and the international central banking cartel as a whole.
But if you dig a little deeper, I believe these moves run in parallel with the Devolution operation here in the US, and also exemplify the Reverse Hegelian Dialectic theory I've been writing about for over two years, now.
Just as the Q operation relied on the Socratic Method in order to prompt Anons into discovering the truth for themselves, so too are people around the world receiving a firsthand education as to the System of Systems by observing its own panic pattern.
[They] are the problem, and they're pushing the world toward sovereign solutions. —
Kim Jong Un inspects new ‘suicide drones,’ urges incorporation of AI
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected small new “suicide drones” and urged the military to incorporate artificial intelligence in their development, according to state media on Monday. — NK News
Our Take: I'm only covering this story so I can post this picture of our boy Un.
Incredible.
If that picture doesn't make you smile, then you're too blackpilled.
And proof that Un is still our guy— he didn't start rockin' the western suits until after he met Trump at the DMZ. —

Special counsel files reworked indictment against Donald Trump in January 6 case
Special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday filed a superseding indictment in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, slimming down the allegations against the 2024 presidential nominee in light of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.
Prosecutors have not dropped any of the four charges that they initially brought against the former president. However, the newly retooled indictment has carved out some of Trump’s alleged conduct, including allegations about the attempts to use the Justice Department to promote his false claims of election fraud.
It also adjusts how prosecutors describe the allegations they are continuing to bring about Trump’s election subversion schemes.
“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions in Trump v. United States,” the special counsel’s office said.
The replacement indictment thrusts the question of Trump’s effort to steal the 2020 election back into the critical final months of the 2024 campaign. For much of this year, the ex-president’s legal and political narratives merged through his claims that he was the victim of a conspiracy by the Biden administration to weaponize justice against him. — CNN
Trump Slams Harris 'Flip Flop' On Border Wall, Says Kamala 'Cowering Behind' Anonymous Staff
After presiding over the worst illegal immigration crisis in US history, failed 'border czar' Kamala Harris has now pledged to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a wall at the southern US border - a plan she called "un-American" during the Trump administration.
According to Axios, which calls it the "latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions," Harris is now embracing a 'more hawkish' immigration policy while the Trump campaign spends tens of millions of dollars on attack ads over the Biden-Harris administration's failed border policies.
Last week, Harris told the Democratic National Convention that she would sign a recent bipartisan border security bill negotiated by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK) and Chris Murphy (D-CT), which calls for hundreds of millions of dollars of unspent funds to be used to continue Trump's wall.
"It requires the Trump border wall," Lankford told Axios. "It is in the bill itself that it sets the standards that were set during the Trump administration: Here's where it will be built. Here's how it has to be built, the height, the type, everything during the Trump construction."
In 2017, then-Senator Harris called Trump's border wall project a "stupid use of money," and committed to blocking funding for it.
[…]
The Trump campaign has responded to Axios reporting that Kamala Harris now supports a border wall.
"How much longer will the mainstream media allow Kamala Harris to hide and use staff to speak on her behalf? It's DAY 37 of ZERO interviews and Kamala's anonymous campaign sources are now claiming she supports President Trump's border wall - this is a preposterous and false claim."
"Kamala's ACTIONS speak much louder than the WORDS of the anonymous staff she is cowering behind." — ZeroHedge

So far, I just don’t see Zelensky as “ours” either covertly or overtly. Peace will require a new election in Ukraine, from the earlier one that was postponed, and that will be interesting. I think Zelensky (with his many expensive houses he has purchased with our money during his war!) is trying to stay relevant for the lucrative kickbacks that will happen since BlackRock has been awarded the contract to “rebuild” Ukraine.
Looking forward to your Monday post, Ghost!
