"A tense altercation between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy ensued in the oval office today. "The bottom line: The United States of America will not be extorted by a country whose leaders are more interested in what they can get out of the American people than peace. "The point of the meeting? To sign a U.S.-Ukraine mineral deal. Donald Trump is “very tired subsidizing and pay for far-distant problems when we’re running a $37 trillion national debt,” and this deal would not only offset those costs but also by inviting “American business in to Ukraine, to help rebuild it and to profit…Putin will be less eager to attack you if he understands there's a thriving American concession there,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “ 'Donald Trump is incurring a lot of criticism lately on the Ukrainian war. He's trying to negotiate an end to the war. Remember, there's probably somewhere around 1.5 million dead, wounded, missing, and captured on both sides, together. That is the largest casualty rate figure total in Europe since the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942 and 1943. In his ‘Art of the Deal’ style he came in and he said some things the last week that got people very angry. I'll just give you two examples. He said that Zelenskyy was a dictator and that he “should have stopped the war and never started it. “ 'That got people anguished because we know that Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24th of 2022. So, why did Donald Trump say that? Of course, he doesn't believe that Zelenskyy started the war because he has campaigned himself on the following narrative: "Under George Bush, in 2008, Russia invaded Ossetia and Georgia. “ 'In 2014, under the Obama administration, they invaded the Donbas and Crimea. On February 24th of 2022, under Joe Biden, they tried to take Kyiv. However, of the last four administrations, there was one in which they did not leave their borders to invade another nation—my administration. Why? Because unlike the prior three presidents, I was able to establish deterrence.” . . .

What country would accept relocated Gazans?
A.J. Caschetta, Middle East Forum
"Few nations are interested in taking residents of Gaza because Palestinians have worn out their welcome wherever they have gone."

"When Donald Trump proposed to relocate over a million people from Gaza while it is rebuilt, many derided it as a combination of anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia. Others thought it just too ridiculous to take seriously. But more people are coming around to his way of thinking.
"Liel Leibovitz now argues that, “we must embrace this proposal, because at its heart is the one true and inescapable sentiment: Israelis can no longer be expected to live in proximity to those who desire nothing more than their death.”
"Gazans who don’t want to fight Israelis and who have sought to leave the embattled strip of land are perhaps the world’s only genuine refugees not permitted to leave a war zone, but where to send them and their bloodthirsty neighbors who live for the opportunity to kill is perhaps the biggest problem with the proposal.
"Those who protest the loudest about Trump’s alleged “ethnic cleansing” plan are more interested in exploiting Gazans for the purpose of destroying Israel than helping them. Don’t expect Spain, Norway, or Ireland to welcome any of them.
"And what about Muslim and Arab nations? Are they, too, racist or “Islamophobic” for endorsing the plan? The UAE’s Ambassador to the U.S., Yousef Al Otaiba, recently told an interviewer, “I don’t see an alternative to what’s being proposed.”
"The Wall Street Journal’s Sadanand Dhume took up the topic in a recent column titled “If Indians and Pakistanis Can Relocate, Why Can’t Gazans?”
"Dhume noted that “Many population transfers have taken place over the last century. … Only in the Palestinian case has the refugee question festered endlessly.”
"In a January 26, 2025, press release, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called Trump’s proposal “dangerous nonsense,” invoking the ethnic cleansing trope." . . .
Israel to resume war in Gaza and ‘eradicate Hamas,’ cutting off aid and bombarding Strip with troops "Israeli decision-makers plan to resume the Gaza war in four to six weeks with overwhelming force, sending in tens of thousands of troops to conquer the entire strip in a single coordinated offensive against Hamas.
"Incoming military chief of staff Eyal Zamir has, at the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, started developing the plan, according to several current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of high-level discussions.
"Under the plan, Israel will deploy more troops to Gaza than it has to this point in the war—over 50,000—before relocating the civilian population to humanitarian zones and waging a ruthless ground campaign against Palestinian terrorists across the rest of the strip." . . .
“It’s going to be decisive,” said Amir Avivi, a former Israeli brigadier general who has advised the Israeli government and military during the war. “Israel will use every tool it has to conquer Gaza and eradicate Hamas.”
Quick, before US Democrats like these below come back into power!
New Dawn For Iran: The Inevitable Fall Of A Repressive Regime
. . ."The demands were clear: end the policy of appeasement, support the Iranian resistance, take tangible steps to curtail the regime’s capacity for oppression, particularly its nuclear ambitions, and officially designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization." . . .
"Drawing thousands from Iranian diaspora communities and garnering substantial international support,the colorful and enthusiastic rally and march transcended geographical and cultural boundaries, uniting voices from diverse backgrounds, including representatives from 320 Iranian associations spanning Europe, North America, and Australia, as well as members of various nationalities, such as Kurdish, Baluch, and Arab communities, in a chorus calling for the Iranian regime’s end.
"It was not just a protest but a profound display of solidarity against oppression. They voiced a unified demand for the overthrow of the Iranian clerical regime and the establishment of a democratic republic.
"The rally’s keynote speaker was Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the NCRI, who addressed the crowd via video. Her speech was not just a tribute to the Iranian people’s monumental anti-monarchical revolution of Feb. 11, 1979, but also a powerful assertion of the inevitability of the mullahs’ downfall. “Yes, neither Shah nor Sheikh — long live the Iranian people’s democratic revolution!”
"Rajavi’s assertive declaration at a massive gathering of Iranians and international supporters that “the clerical regime’s demise has arrived” underscores a pivotal shift in the Iranian resistance movement. This change is fueled by a profound collective discontent against Iran’s current regime — a sentiment that resonates deeply on a global scale.
"She painted a picture of a regime beset on all sides — not just by the external pressures of sanctions and diplomatic isolation but more critically by internal dissension and a society seething with discontent and defiance.
"Rajavi’s bold proclamation —“With or without negotiations, with or without nuclear weapons, the uprising and overthrow await you (regime)!” — underscores the resistance’s readiness to end the era of theocratic rule. Her invocation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights emphasized the fundamental right to resist oppression, positioning the Iranian struggle within a global context of fights for freedom and dignity." . . .
Musk issues warning after anti-DOGE eruptions backed by Soros
"Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, admonished professional organizations linked to billionaire George Soros after they engineered anti-DOGE protests across the country. " . . .

. . ."Indivisible and MoveOn are partisan networks tied to Soros, a powerful leftist figure in Democratic circles who has donated billions to controversial progressive initiatives in the U.S. and abroad through his Open Society Foundations. An investigation published this week by the Washington Free Beacon found that the two organizations organized seemingly organic constituent protests to DOGE at GOP town halls and congress members’ offices in several states. for Zelensky takedown in latest flex of influence.
Musk issues warning Musk took to social media to address the news, telling followers that “pushing fake outrage” against DOGE will only “backfire” on Soros-linked groups. Soros has donated millions of dollars to both MoveOn and Indivisible. "
George Soros' death grip on the Democratic Party loosened on Nov. 5 - Washington Times "The hard-left billionaire George Soros and his heir apparent son Alex have championed, with donations, defunding the police movement, open borders and soft prosecutors.
"But then came Nov. 5. Then former President Donald Trump beat Mr. Soros. And, in California, where the hedge fund operator has poured so much cash, liberal voters turned anti-Soros, saying with their ballots they want a war on criminals.
"They ousted one of Mr. Soros’ favorite and well-funded prosecutors, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon ($3 million Soros dollars). Up north, Oakland-area voters kicked out the soft-on-crime prosecutor Pamela Price and city mayor Sheng Thao. (Have you seen videos of destructive “road rallies” in Oakland? No one apparently gets arrested, and businesses say they can’t survive such destructive mayhem.)
"In San Francisco, where liberals are tired of boarded-up stores, human street poop and obnoxious homeless, they defeated Mayor London Breed in favor of anti-crime candidate Daniel Lurie.
"Two years ago, the city’s residents recalled Soros-backed District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Mr. Boudin backed Ryan Khojasteh in this year’s race, but current DA Brooke Jenkins, a pro-victim prosecutor, soundly defeated him.
"Also, on election day, Californians overwhelmingly approved Proposition 36. It overrode the goofy state legislature’s move to decriminalize shoplifting." . . . Much more on Soros here.

And KDJ's Clown of the Week Award Goes To...
Here [Crockett] goes off on DOGE, then whines about Musk's contract with the FAA to upgrade our aging air traffic controlling systems. And it isn't a good week for Crockett unless she gets to screech about "white privilege" before once again crying about "President Musk" as her Operation Mockingbird masters commanded. And who can resist calling Trump "orange Jesus"?
"There has been a change at "KDJ's Clown of the Week Award" (KCWA).
"With unrepining alacrity, Jasmine Crockett has once again dared to dazzle the KCWA academy (me) in a way that cannot be ignored. Crockett has been in the running every week thus far. She could win every week, but what fun would that be?
"Instead, the academy (I) has (have) decided to include a special segment every week called "Crockett's Weekly Codswallop" where we (I) will showcase Crockett's hilarious and yet tragic need for attention and burning desire to convince everyone interested that the silicone chip inside her head has been indeed switched to overload.
"Here goes the first one!
Crockett's Weekly Codswallop!
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett has been working overtime to replace AOC as the Democrats' favorite hottish psychochick.
Crockett spent the week obeisantly regurgitating talking points sent to her by the
DNCCIA.Here she goes off on DOGE, then whines about Musk's contract with the FAA to upgrade our aging air traffic controlling systems. And it isn't a good week for Crockett unless she gets to screech about "white privilege" before once again crying about "President Musk" as her Operation Mockingbird masters commanded. And who can resist calling Trump "orange Jesus"?
I wish Crockett would just challenge AOC to a couple rounds of foxy boxing to see who is the most annoying Democratic congressional coquette.
"Now, let's get to the award portion of the program!"
Clown #1: Joy Reid . . .I never thought pouring a bourbon and watching Joy Reid getting fired could get any better, but then I saw Rachel Maddow call her employer, MSNBC, a racist ON AIR for firing racist Reid. Pour another whiskey and watch Rachel Maddow call MSNBC "racist" for firing Reid and another minority anchor." . . .
Here is an extra update for you: TV host calls for The View to be cancelled after host ‘spits’ while speaking about Trump
"I'm going to start referring to Donald Trump as the thinking man's President."
"There's an old story of a lady saying to Adlai Stevenson that he was the thinking man's candidate, and Adlai replied "But I need a majority.' " Comment to this post.
How do you respond when people call you ostentatious, ego-ridden and a greedy symbol of the Eighties?
Rich men are less likely to like me, but the working man likes me because he knows I worked hard and didn't inherit what I've built. Hey, I made it myself; I have a right to do what I want with it.
With so much poverty on the city streets, isn't it embarrassing for you to flaunt your wealth?
There has always been a display of wealth and always will be, until the depression comes, which it always does. And let me tell you, a display is a good thing. It shows people that you can be successful. It can show you a way of life. Dynasty did it on TV. It's very important that people aspire to be successful. The only way you can do it is if you look at somebody who is.
"A display is a good thing."
