9th Circuit Says Trump Can Bust Public Unions
Timothy Birdnow
This is a big win that the media will not cover, or at least gloss over.
For those of you who don't speak Stuff-Shirtese, Defenstrate means literally "throw out a window" and is used to mean vacate or otherwise rid oneself.
In other words, a court of appeal said Trump can get rid of public sector unions.
And it was the infamous 9th Circuuit that made this ruling, too!
FTA:
A federal appeals court will allow the Trump administration to end collective bargaining rights for thousands of government employees, in a blow for public-sector unions.
The Ninth Circuit panel's decision allows the administration to proceed with an executive order that allows some federal agencies to cut union ties for national security reasons.
Six unions representing about 800,000 federal civilian employees sued the administration last year, alleging violations of the First Amendment. A lower court previously found that President Donald Trump's order was designed to retaliate against unions. However, the Ninth Circuit panel ended that preliminary injunction.
The panel noted that Trump's executive order, issued in March 2025, was "the largest single effort to date to exclude agencies and subdivisions from collective bargaining on national security grounds."
This would only apply to public unions and only in matters of national security.
The Republicans stupidly let the Democrats create public sector unions back in the seventies, blissfully unaware that the whole point of unionizing the federal workforce was to permanently tie them all to the Democrats. They have been an integral part of the Democrat machine for fifty years now.
And how can you possibly have a labor union for governmet employees? Who is "mamagement" who will negotiate on the behalf of taxpayers and voters? Look at it this way; imagine a labor union run by the corporation it is supposed to negotiate with. Everyone would say that is insane, yet nobody says it's insane to have two sides of the negotiation being on the same side.
That is why the Democrats are so eager to hire more and more people to work for the government; it means more people who will support growing government at every turn and spending more money because they want to make sure to get their snouts in the trough. And they will vote Democratic because the Democrats hate fiscal discipline and hate smaller government. It was a cog in the Democrat machine and always has been. Nothing more.
That's why SEIU - the Service Worker's union - is so radically left-wing and politically activist. Many of the protests and riots we've seen over the years were fomented and manned by SEIU activists.
Trump is trying to break that and God bless him for it! And now we have at least one appeals court that has agreed he can do it, at least for now. The court did not make a final determination on the legality of this but stayed a lower court ruling. This will wind up at SCOTUS and who knows which way they will Jump, with John Roberts and Amy Conehead Barrett on the court.

The Winds of War Blow into Persia
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like the Shiite has just hit the fan.
The U.S., along with Israel, launched a series of airstrikes against Iran to finish the work of taking out their nuclear sites and the Iranians - never trusted by their Sunni neighbors - hit five countries with U.S. bases, including Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Kuwait.
The Arab countries are not happy, promising retaliation. Saudi Arabia vowed to give the U.S. it's full support, for example.
The U.S. opened the operations with cruise missiles and followed up with drones and other weaponry. No American servicemen were injured in the retaliatory strikes.
There is an historic opportunity to remove the theocracy of Iran once and for all; they have been the source of infection for the terrorism in the Middle East, and Mr. Trump has personal reasons to go after them as well as they have been caught plotting to assassinate him.
So we can degrade the Iranian's ability to project power outside of their border with this and we can further erode any respect the regime has inside Iran. But ultimately it is up to the Iranian People to overthrow the Mullahs and establish either a republic or reinstate the monarchy. Either of these would be preferable to what they have had to endure in their long national nightmare starting back in 1979.
If Iran is taken off the stage a number of things will happen. Funding will dry up for terrorist organizations like Hizbollah and Hamas, but also for ISIS and many others. This will mean the Palestinian Authority will be defunded and likely lose their grip on Palestine. It also means Russia loses a key ally in the region, and with the opening of Iran Asian oil and gas will be able to bypass Russian territory completely - now Iran and Russia control all territory between Asia and Europe save a tiny corridor through the Caucasus. This will make Russia far less important in terms of energy to the Europeans. This will also facilitate shipping in the Persian Gulf.
What will Iran do? They could potentially close the Strait of Hormuz, choking the movement of huge amounts of oil. Of course this will hurt THEM as much as it hurts us, and it is a measure of last resort, but they might just do it. That would spike the price of oil and don't think they haven't thought about how this will impact the American political system. The public will not be happy if gas prices shoot way up, and no dubt they will do it if this drags out into the late summer/early fall. That's why the moment to strike for the U.S. was now, and Trump knew it.
We could witness an historic realignment in the Middle East. The question is what will the Russians and Chinese do? Russia probably can't do much, but China may not sit idly by while events move that can impact them.
IF China wants to seize Taiwan this would be the time to do it. I doubt they will; patience will give them Taiwan in due course without a direct military conflict, but who knows what they are thinking there? Certainly the Chicoms will take some steps to benefit from this.
We are in a dangerous situation, no question, but this was an issue that had been ignored by all previous administrations and you can only kick a can down the road for so long before you run out of road.
Trump chose to strike now while Iran's ruling theocrats were struggling with serious domestic unrest. It was the time to take action. And it will not require boots on the ground. What it WILL require is that we airlift the Iranian rebels the supplies they need.
I had hoped when George W. Bush invaded Iraq he would rather have been pulling a fake and would invade Iran instead. Iran was and remains the real problem in the region. And after we invaded Iraq we allowed the Iranians to filter in Jihadist fighters, weapons, and all the things necessary to prosecute a nasty guerilla war. I was baffled at the time; why did we let them get away with that? Why weren't WE funneling in fighters, weapons, and materials to the Iranian opposition to overthrow the government there?
Because we listened to dimwits like Colon Bowel, er, Colin Powell, who said "you break it you buy it" a pithy line, certainly but not really true. We could have just broken it and left a strong leader in charge. He might be a thug but he'd be OUR thug. Instead we played these silly games about nation-building and democratizing a region with no experience or interest in that. We thought we could prove we were good guys by building hospitals and schools but the populace just thought we were panzies, buying their support with our filthy Western values. That's how Muslims think. We insulted them by much of what we did in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
As I said at the time, you have to first win the war. Then you can win hearts and mibds all you want AFTER the enemy knows he is defeated. Until that point you haven't won anything and won't.
So Trump can bomb Iran and aid the rebels but he has to stay off the ground there. Many Iranians who see us as friends now will turn against us if we try to go in with troops. Nobody wants foreign fighters on their soil.
This is going to be an interesting spring.

Biden Brags about His Handling of Illegal Immigration
Timothy Birdnow
One of the things about liberal Democrats is their being completely divorced from reality. Take Joe Biden.
Yes, he actually bragged that he was good on the border issue.
Here is the jaw-dropping remark:
"Despite everything you read, despite the fact that COVID drove migration to record levels all around the world, the day I left office, border crossings into the United States were lower than the day that I entered that office”
Uh, COVID REDUCED immigration, it did not increase it. THAT was the only thing that kept the numbers from being even higher.
As the NY Post article points out:
An average of about 2.4 million migrants poured into the country every year of Biden’s only term in office — most crossing into the US illegally.
In the first three months of Biden’s stint in the White House, the surge in border crossings had already surpassed any record from the previous Trump administration.
The former president only moved to shut the border near the tail end of the 2024 campaign.
And if he was stopping illegal immigration why was he flying illegals into the country? And why to red states like Florida or Texas? Why did he do nothing to pressure Mexico into stopping those caravans?
The reality is we were overrun during his Administration and now he hopes to rehabilitate his legacy. And he will if the MAGA movement falters; eventually, like Jimmy Carter, the media will make him into a good man, a solid President overwhelmed by events outside of his control. They did that with Carter (which was not true) and they will try to do that with Biden. As things stand now Biden was the worst President in American history. But once the revisionism gets into full swint that honor will be handed to Donald J. Trump, even if he finds a cure for old age.

Hillary Probably Perjured Herself
Timothy Birdnow
Hillary Clinton may well have committed perjury in her testimony to Congress over Jeffrey Epstein.
According to this Breitbart article the former First Lady and Senator and Secretary of State made a denial worthy of St. Peter:
"I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices,”
Sounds kind of like "I tell you I do not know the man!" from St. Peter when he denied Jesus, doesn't it? In this case she's denying her own husband, whom she threw under the bus during questioning "you have to ask Bill" she repeated several times.
And she said she only knew Ghislaine Maxwell as a "casual acquaintance.
BUT both Ghislaine and Epstein set up the Clinton Global Initiative and Ghislaine was a guest at the Clinton's daughter Chelsea's wedding. The Clintons stayed at Epstein's Zorro ranch, in addition to Bill's many visits to "slave island".
Hillary said "I don’t know how many times I had to say I didn’t know Jeffrey Epstein,” to reporters afterwards "I tell you I do not know the man!"
According to the Daily Mail the Clintons were regulars at the Zorro Ranch although they didn't stay at the main house but in the "cowboy town" Epstein had built for guests.
How do you stay at a man's property and not know him? I mean, who accepts free vacations from a person and not actually speak with them?
Of course it is conceivable Hillary didn't know Epstein, but unlikely. As I say, she threw Bill under the bus as he is now on the hot seat; he HAD to know who and what Epstein was and what he was doing. And I rather doubt he keeps much from Hillary.
I think it is possible to find some witness who will say she saw Hillary with Epstein (after all, she was a Presidential contender and there is no way Epstein would have avoided her given the beneficial nature of THAT relationship) and then they have her for perjury. But of course witnesses will be exquisitely aware of the tendency of Hillary whistleblowers to meet with untimely ends...
The Republicans need to keep digging. There is a terrible stench here.
BTW Hillary actually had the gall to say this is a witch hunt to distract from Donald Trump! What a piece of work!

Deep State Spied on Kristi Noem at DHS
Timothy Birdnow
If you think spying on Trump people ended with Biden you are sadly mistaken.
This is what they meant about "Trump-proofing" the machinery of government when they spoke of it before the transfer of power.
Kristi Noem told the PBD podcast:
"I just found the other day a whole room on this campus that was a secret SCIF — secure facility — that had files nobody knew existed. So we just happened to have an employee walk by a door and wonder what it was and started asking questions. We went in there. There was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics."
[...]
"Elon (Musk) and his team were extremely helpful to me. They helped me identify that some of my own employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me, to record our meetings. They had done that to several of the politicals."
Now what did they hope to find by spying on Noem and her deputies? They were undoubtedly looking for anything they could leak to the media to destroy her.
This is proof of the existence of the Deep State, as Noem observes:
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claims her own staff was spying on her — before Elon showed up.
Though the Department of Homeland Security has achieved some success in deporting illegal aliens, it has always been met with resistance — both on the street and in the department itself.
In an interview with podcaster Patrick Bet-David this week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revealed the depth of some of the problems her department has been facing and the people who have helped her fight the alleged corruption.
'They helped me identify that some of my own employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me.'
"You wouldn't even believe what I've found since I've been in this department," Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said on the "PBD Podcast" this week.
"I just found the other day a whole room on this campus that was a secret SCIF — secure facility — that had files nobody knew existed. So we just happened to have an employee walk by a door and wonder what it was and started asking questions. We went in there. There was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics."
And that's not all:
Noem also claimed that her devices were compromised but that Elon Musk's tech team helped expose the software that was compromising her privacy.
"Elon and his team were extremely helpful to me. They helped me identify that some of my own employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and my laptop to spy on me, to record our meetings. They had done that to several of the politicals."
So who are these people and why haven't they been arrested yet? Who is organizing them? Funding them? How do they manage to operate so freely?
The fact is we have had a shadow government in this country for a long time and it only became obvious during the Obama era and patently obvious during the Biden era as they became emboldened to the point of no longer really trying to hide. But we never elected any of these people and they have no right to do what they are doing yet here we are. How many elections have these people tampered with? How many policies we voted for have they annulled?
It's a rat's nest and it must be cleaned out and soon, because time is not on our side. They can and probably will just wait us out (as the Left always does) and be back in the driver's seat as soon as President Trump steps out the door of the White House for the last time.
I wouldn't mind so much if they were actually serving our interests but they are parasites who are destroying the country, globalists who see themselves as "citizens of the world' rather than Americans. They take our tax money and blow it on leftist stupidity as part of their quest to establish a new world order.
Heads need to roll. Oh, and once again, God bless Elon Musk!

Manipulapoll
Timothy Birdnow
I have just one word for this - bullshit.
This Emerson poll says that, despite a series of wins by the President, a lower-than expected inflation and jobs report, and a triumphant State of the Union address as well as a quieting in the Minnesota protests Trump's disapproval rating (note they talk about his "disapproval rating" not his approval rating) has climbed.
According to the article:
President Donald Trump's disapproval rating increased by 4% in the latest survey conducted by Emerson College Polling.
Trump is reported to have a 55% disapproval rating in the February poll published on Thursday (February 26), having previously had a 51% disapproval rating in January. The president was, however, reported to have the same 43% approval rating in January and February, according to the poll.
How? What has happened since January?
They have trotted this thing out because Trump is gaining ground in other polls and they had to find a way to stop that bandwagon, nothing more.
Then there is this:
"Hispanics disapprove of the job the president is doing, 58% to 37%, a significant shift after reporting a near-split rating last month (43% approve to 45% disapprove) following the administration’s military action in Venezuela,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. "These numbers reflect the broader downward trend previously observed among Hispanic voters.
Again this poll makes assertions but no effort is made to explain WHY this sudden drop in approval among Hispanics. In point of fact there are no reasons whatsoever for this to be happening.
And it is at odds with a recent Trafalgar poll I cited here which shows Trump at 50.k8% while his disapproval rating is just 46.7%. His "strongly approve rating is at 47.1%, according to Trafalgar.
So one of these polls is way off. Now which one do you think it might be?
The purpose of this is., as I just stated, to try to steal the wind from the Trump sail. It is designed to get the GOP to turn skittish (and that usually works for them) and to encourage the Democrats, who are pretty demoralized. But what it does NOT do is reflect the thinking of the people.
And Trafalgar has been far more accurate in reflecting the will of the People than has Emerson over the last few years.
I do not believe this poll nor any of the others which show Trump seriously under water. But even if he is in the end the public will have to face accepting Trump or choose the Democrows, who have shown themselves to be insane and completely radicalized, and in the end I suspect the public will choose MAGA over that.

CNN in Panic over Plan to Debank Illegals
Timothy Birdnow
This is how you do it; take away their ability to access the benefits of American society.
The deliciousness of this is this is exactly what the Biden Administration tried to do to Conservatives, who were native born citizens. They wanted to strip our ability to bank, to obtain loans and mortgages and otherwise financially destroy us. Now we are doing it to illegal aliens who have no business being here in the first place and CNN is freaking out because they know what this means. They were all for it when using it against US.
Not only would this defund illegal aliens it will close a lucrative avenue for money laundering that has been ongoing for years. Democrats were enjoying the fruits of this in Minneapolis, for instance, where Somali immigrants were stealing vast sums of money from taxpayers for "daycare" and laundering it to Somalia, and ultimately to the Democratic Party. Debanking them would make such an enterprise untenable and the good people at CNN know it, which is why they are so upset.
Banks have been partners in money-laundering of taxpayer dollars for years now. They have done that to stay on the good side of government regulators. Now those same regulators are no longer in the service of the Democrat's political machine.
This should have been done during the George W. Bush administration frankly. Bush let the Democrats build a vast political machine which scammed almost every aspect of our society, from illegal alien votes to vote fraud systems to laundering tax dollars to fund the political campaigns of Democrats and he just let them do it. He should have known better; Bill Clinton had been one of the architects of this machine and it almost cost Bush the election of 2000. After they lost they vowed never again and so really ramped up the system. It cost Trump his re-election. Had the Democrats run anyone but Hillary it would have cost him his first election too.
Political machines are extremely difficult to beat. And rarely are they broken up.
Trump is making a full court press, trying to break up the Democrat's political machine. It's not easy. It requires attacks on multiple fronts, from polling companies to banking to immigration to big pharma and big tech. It involves universities and teacher's unions. It involves governments great and small. We as a nation never realized just how vast the machine truly was. Now we are learning and it's staggering.
So Trump is trying to break it and that job won't get done in a few years. But it's a good start.
If we had truly free and fair elections in America Democrats would never get elected. The GOP really is the majority party. Well, actually MAGA is and the GOP struggles with kissing rear ends and doing what the base wants. But they are more likely to actually be elected than Democrats. Sadly they let the Democrats sew up the whole system and now Trump is trying to break the stranglehold.
This is certainly a good start.

(D)UMSL is Woke in Missouri
Timothy Birdnow
Open, blatant discrimination at the University of Missouri St. Louis.
UMSL is just down the road from downtown Ferguson.
The sad thing is this university is not under the control of St. Louis but of the state of Missouri, which is and has been solidly in the hands of the GOP.
From the Legal Insurrectionists:
It’s always of interest when we find open discrimination at public universities in red states that have taken a hard line on DEI. Our most recent filing was just such a case, on February 26, 2026, was against the University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL).
From the Civil Rights Complaint filed with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education:
We bring this civil rights complaint against the University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL) for offering, administering, and promoting twelve (12) scholarships that discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, and/or sex in violation of Title VI and Title IX, respectively….
The scholarships listed below are currently offered to UMSL students and applicants for admission, according to the UMSL website, and violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VI”) and its implementing regulations4 by discriminating against students based on their race and skin color, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX”) and its implementing regulations5 by discriminating against students based on their sex, or both.6 Because UMSL is a public university, these discriminatory scholarships also violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The article goes on to list these scholarships:
Rhonda Knehans-Drake Memorial Scholarship in Data AnalyticsPreference given to underrepresented minority groups
Sauter, Vicki Endowed Scholarship in Information Systems and TechnologyPreference given to underrepresented minority groups
Swain O’Leary Family Accounting ScholarshipSecond preference given to underrepresented minority groups
John Works Memorial Scholarship in HistoryRecipient to be a member of an underrepresented minority, who identified as African or African American
Randy Sanderson ScholarshipPreference given to African American studentsJacobs/Sverdrup Engineering ScholarshipPreference given to minority and women students
Harriett Woods Leadership ScholarshipPreference given to female students
The Hazel L. Kohring Scholarship for Women in TransitionCandidates to be displaced female students 25 years old or older
University of Missouri – St. Louis Women Scholarship FundPreferred candidate is a female student
Women in Chemistry ScholarshipPreference given to female students 25 years old or older
Elisabeth Horkits Scholarship FundPrimary consideration given to women
The Women of AT&T Foundation Endowed ScholarshipPreference given to female students
Why this desperation to bring women and minorities into fields? Why can't academia be satisfied with bringing the best and brightest into the fields and letting people work to that end? There is zero value in "diversity" as a goal of its; own.
When I was in college this whole "diversity" nonsense was gearing up and I knew then it was ridiculous. By "diversity" they meant minority, and of that only approved minorities. An Afrikaaner, say, would not make the cut as "diverse" because he was a white man. Neither would a Christian woman.
It has become so entrenched now that nobody ever bothers to question this assumption, that "diversity is our strength" when in fact diversity is rarely anybody's strength. America has done well DESPITE her diversity, and that because we always used to make people adopt American culture first. Now we don't and we are seeing the same problems that have plagued culturally diverse places like the Balkans.
That the state of Missouri would allow this is infuriating. What is the point of electing Republicans if they act like Democrats? Sadly Missouri's GOP are mostly RINO's and out for their own interests, little more. Few in the Missouri legislature actually try to move the ball forward. Heck; we can't even pass decent tax relief in this state, despite having all the branches of government and a supermajority in the legislature.
That's how you wind up with Democrats in control even when they are out of power; the Republicans are more about increasing their wealth than anything else.
Until we have men and women of character in office this will continue. Sadly I don't see many men or women of character stepping up to the plate, at least not here in the Shw Me State.

Another Activist Judge Makes a Bad Ruling
Timothy Birdnow
Trump-hating Judge Kollar-Kotelly strikes again, this time ruling the IRS illegally shared data with ICE to facilitate the arrest of dangerous illegal criminals.
Judge KK has been a favorite of Democrats employing lawfare to gum up the works and she has ruled against Trump in many other immigration cases, such as his executive order to require proof of citizenship to vote.
While she holds her current position thanks to Bill Clinton she was originally appointed to the bench by Ronald Reagan in one of his poorer appointments. (Remember, Reagan gave us Sandra Day O'Connor, among other disasters.)
So now this rogue judge is saying our government cannot share information because, like, it's totally bogus and stuff.
If you are here illegally you do not have any expectation of privacy.
I would ask, where was she when the Biden Administration was spying on Suzies Wiles or Kash Patel? We never heard any concerns about privacy from her then.
Maybe KK should hook up with Judge Jams Boasberg? They are a match made in Heaven, if you ask me.

Jack Smith Eavesdropped on Suzie Wiles
Timothy Birdnow
Jack Smith and the FBI secretly wiretapped Suzie Wiles, then a Trump aid and now Chief of Staff. Allegedly her attorney was aware they were listening but Suzie was not - the attorney denies this allegation (it is a serious offense that would lead to his disbarment at a minimum).
No judge would sing off on such an order; it violates the most basic protections offered to citizens. Conversations with your attorney are absolutely privileged.
The noose is tightening around Jack Smith's neck and I rather suspect he's going to be going to prison at some point. I hope fora along, long time; he's completely abused the public trust.

Is Spamberger a CIA Stooge?

I already generated a dossier on Spanberger, but the most interesting part of it is that she is part of a cohort of 50+ military-intelligence veterans that have been recruited to run as Democratic candidates starting in 2018.
@SomeBitchIIKnow
first hypothesized this, but my new dossier pipeline independently captured them.
A Democrat retires. A CIA member takes over.
Spanberger is part of a much deeper, much more disturbing story here.

Trump Approval Ratings High
Timothy Birdnow
According to Trafalgar Trump's approval rating is 50.k8% while his disapproval rating is just 46.7%. His "strongly approve rating is a whopping 47.1%.
This is well above average for this time in a President's term, either first or second.
Last year the media was crowing about Trump having low approval ratings, and even into this year. Trafalgar is one of the most accurate polling companies and they are saying Trump is slaying it.

Biden Flew Known Sex Offenders into America
Timothy Birdnow
The Biden Administration was letting illegals fly on commercial airlines. But here is the real kicker; sex offenders were allowed to board by PRESENTING THEIR SEX OFFENDER PAPERS to the authorities!
Yes, they were actually using their sex offender registrations to board flights into the U.S.!
Here is the statement by Breanna Morello:
Ever wondered how TSA was allowing illegal aliens to board commercial flights without IDs under the Biden regime?
Well I sued TSA to find out and learned that Biden’s DHS allowed CONVICTED sex offenders on to flights by showing their sex offender paperwork.
Predators were allowed into the country if they promised to take sexual deviancy counseling and register as a sex offender.
After suing TSA, I won and now the agency is covering my legal fees.
Currently, TSA says they can’t pay my lawyer right now due to the shut down.
The Biden Administration flew large numbers of illegals into the U.S. at a cost of $500 million, most of whom were sent to Florida and Texas - two states the Democrats desperately want to flip.
Here are the documents she found:

Foreign Affairs: Ukraine War Unwinnable
Timothy Birdnow
Foreign Affairs is the magazine of the Council on Foreign Relations, which is the ultimate internationalist/New World Order organization, the very people who promoted the Ukrainian war as a way to stop Russia from building their own power block and cutting out the NWO and European Union. Now they are admitting the truth.
This really isn't accurate; the war is actually lost, they are not just "losing" it. Only direct outside military intervention can change this fact.
This article is long but worth reading.
Essentially they are saying what I've been saying all along; there is mathematically no way for the Ukrainians to win. While Russia has expended a lot more effort than they thought they would have to they are still in the catbird seat because they have fought a war of attrition, slowly strangling the Ukrainians and it was guaranteed to work. Russia has an economy that is ten times the size of the Ukrain's. It has more troops, more drones, better weapons by and large, and more oil and gas to fuel the war machine.
Meanwhile the Ukrainians are growing increasingly desperate with many soldiers being shanghaied, impressed into service without so much as a "greetings" letter. Old men and teenagers are now being conscripted into service. And the cities are all starting to starve. A number of Ukrainian officials have been trying to sneak out of the country. It is the last stand, or soon will be anyway.
Ukraine's only option is to surrender territory, painful though that is. Had Zelensky not been such a horse's petunia over the last year or two and refused to cut a bad deal they wouldn't be at the point of losing as much. Being a leader oftentimes means having to take a bad deal rather than a worse one.
Will a surrender by Ukraine stop Russian aggression? Probably not, but the Russians need to buy time to rebuild. They will probably take a deal that is less to their liking than they could demand otherwise. But the Ukraine absolutely MUST have a cessation of hostilities; they are reaching the point of collapse and could well lose their whole country. What they need to do now is buy time - a lot of time. It's going to take several years to rebuild and rearm.
The sad thing is the Europeans kept pushing Zelensky to continue the fight with promises he would eventually get more troops from the West. It was a lie and always has been; the Europeans are constitutionally incapable of mounting so an effort anymore and so it all depended on the U.S. and there is no appetite among the American People to involve ourselves in a remote war in Eastern Europe that has nothing to do with us. Despite hysterical claims that Putin is Hitler (ridiculous on the face of it - Germany had been the most powerful European state and the most advanced in terms of technology and culture before wWI and even during the Depression it was a powerhouse despite being disarmed, unlike Russia which is a Third World country) the public realized that this has little to do with us. The Ukraine has always been a vassal of the Russians.
Granted, it would have been nice to sever that abusive spousal relationship. But at the cost of American lives?
Actually there are arguments to be made about saving Ukraine. It has oil. It has natural gas It is the breadbasket of Europe. It has rare earth elements. It is the natural pipeline for Asian oil and gas. It controls the Black Sea to a fair degree, and especially the approach leading to it's exit. But it's hard to convince Americans that the long-term strategic benefit of sending American troops into the region is worth it. And it is EXTREMELY difficult to risk a nuclear war with Russia (who has an arsenal that is both larger than ours and much newer) for oil and gas for the Europeans, who have never been grateful for anything we've done for them.
Only internationalists like the good folks at the Council on Foreign Relations want us involved in this war. Oh, and the Democrats and RINO Republicans.
As I have said previously, the way this war could have been ended was to defund Russia by driving the price of oil and gas down. Biden refused to do that, actually working to increase the price and thus make Russia flush with cash. Trump has been slowly but surely getting the price down but it has not been fast enough or low enough to REALLY hurt the Russians and it won't happen in enough time to save Ukraine. Trump is in a pickle; he needs prices to drop but not so low as to make American oil and gas uncompetitive. If prices drop too low our domestic oil industry will collapse and Trump knows it. He dare not move too quickly or too aggressively in this. (American oil has boomed because of Fracking, Hydraulic Fracturing, and that is a more expensive way to acquire it than just drilling into the ground and waiting for it to blow to the surface as they do in the Arab countries. The Russians don't use fracking so much but they do have very high drilling costs, what with their oil fields being in tundra and the like.)
The article states:
"Russia’s objectives seem reasonably compatible with its capabilities and trends on the battlefield. Ukraine’s objectives, in contrast, seem beyond its reach.”
And indeed that is so. That Foreign Affairs recognizes this is what is the real shocker.
It seems likely Ukraine will have to surrender all of Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk to get Putin to stop. Zelensky should have made a deal while he had the chance.
The article repeats the rather sad little mantra that "Russia is losing more troops than Ukraine" which I am fairly certain is nonsense, and in fact I think the Russian casualties being reported by the Western media are entirely the fiction coming from the Ukrainians themselves. Much like the claim of all the Palestinians who were supposedly dying from Israeli airstrikes during the war last year were numbers coming from the Palestinian Authority and not some objective third party. I have little doubt Russia is losing what we in the West would consider an unacceptable number but they are nowhere near exhausted and I am sure those numbers are far less than our media is reporting. I also suspect the Ukrainians are LOSING more than are being reported.
This war was always unwinnable and it could have been avoided through diplomacy. But the Biden Administration and the Europeans wanted this war in hopes of exhausting Russia and forcing her into the New World Order. How's THAT working out?
And while Trump has found ending this war far more difficult than he imagined I think he would have been able to prevent it in the first place before blood was spilled. Now both sides are entrenched; you can't help but be after so bloody and angry a conflict.
I suspect this war will continue until Russia is just about at the point of overrunning the whole country. Zelensky probably will have to be removed from office, or he will flee, and then and only then will the Ukrainians sue for peace.
It's sad; they wanted more - and deserved better. But they never accepted Russia's taking of Crimea and they, lie the toady of the big bully, felt strong with the backing of the West. Now they are learning a hard lesson about trusting in foreign protectors.
I will end this with a quick mention of Isaiah 30:1-5
"What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”says the Lord."You make plans that are contrary to mine.You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,thus piling up your sins.2 For without consulting me,you have gone down to Egypt for help.You have put your trust in Pharaoh’s protection.You have tried to hide in his shade.3 But by trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated,and by depending on him, you will be disgraced.4 For though his power extends to Zoanand his officials have arrived in Hanes,5 all who trust in him will be ashamed.He will not help you.Instead, he will disgrace you.”
Sounds a lot like what Ukraine did, trusting Europe and the United States to back them. It is never sound strategy to trust in foreign powers to keep you safe. Zelensky and the Ukrainian leadership should have understood that the assurances they were given were like the morning dew, evaporating in the heat of the day.

Target Gets Soaked Breaking Minneapolis Lease
Timothy Birdnow
Yikes! The Target corporation just plunked down $110 MILLION to break their lease in Minneapolis!
That's how bad it's gotten in Minneapolis!
Target's vast office facility was closed during Covid as employees worked from home, and while it reopened the corporation was only making employees show up three days a week. But the endless barrage of demands from radical groups has led to it's final closure as Target skuTalks out of town, tail between their legs.
This is what you get for trying to appease the Woke crowd; they will eat their own.
Target has been at the forefront of most of the woke corporate nonsense and ] that way. Their policy in letting trans men into women's bathrooms and dressing rooms cost them dearly.
And once you go woke you can never go back. The Anti-Ice movement was pressuring them hard and they are now realizing how difficult it is to walk away from the radicals Sell your soul to the Devil and you will pay a dear price to get it back.
At any rate I'm glad they are being taught this lesson in so painful a manner; they had forgotten who their customers were - and their stockholders. Go woke go broke!
