Zelensky has ‘no chance’ of winning a fair election – Putin
The Ukrainian leader’s “absurd orders” have resulted in “catastrophic losses” and made him a “toxic” figure, the Russian president has stated
Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that Vladimir Zelensky has “absolutely no chance” of winning a fair election due to his low approval ratings and the internal political situation in Ukraine.
Zelensky’s five-year presidential term expired in May 2024, but he has refused to hold new elections, citing martial law. The question of his popularity was raised last week by US President Donald Trump, who branded Zelensky a “dictator without elections” who is “down at a 4% approval rating.”
Speaking on Monday, Putin noted that Zelensky’s popularity is significantly lower than that of potential rival General Valery Zaluzhny, the former commander of Ukraine’s armed forces. In an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin, Putin suggested that if other political figures backed Zaluzhny, Zelensky’s chances of reelection would be “absolutely zero.”
“They are equal to zero. Unless, of course, something is grossly rigged, but this is also bad for him – it will be very noticeable,” Putin stated.
“The fact is that the current head of the Kiev regimeis becoming a toxic figurefor the Ukrainian armed forces because he gives absurd orders dictated not by military considerations, but by political ones, and it is unclear what they are based on,” Putin said. He added thatZelensky’s leadership had resulted in “unjustifiably large or catastrophic losses,” making him “toxic for society as a whole.”
“Therefore, [Zelensky] is a factor in the disintegration of the army, society, and the state. And President Trump certainly understands this and is pushing him toward elections,” Putin said, adding that Trump apparently “wants to improve the political situation in Ukraine, consolidate society, and create conditions for the survival of the Ukrainian state.”
Putin has repeatedly said that he no longer considers Zelensky the legitimate head of state. Trump has also recently questioned Zelensky's leadership, accusing him of mismanaging the conflict with Russia and misusing American financial aid.
Zelensky accused Trump of falling for “Russian disinformation,” citing a January poll that allegedly indicated 57% of Ukrainians trusted him.However, data cited by The Economist last week suggested that Zelensky would lose to Zaluzhnyby a wide margin if elections were held today, as many Ukrainians are “clearly frustrated with their war leader.”
According to Putin,Zelensky – who has banned himself from talks with Moscow – is actively sabotaging any peace process, as it would require lifting martial law, which allows him to remain in power. Without martial law, the country would be compelled to hold elections, a scenario Putin believes Zelensky is determined to avoid.

Russia doesn’t understand Trump’s Ukraine ‘peace plan’ – deputy FM
Moscow has lauded Washington’s willingness to push for a ceasefire, but any agreement must be based on long-term solutions, Ryabkov has said
Russia has not gained clarity regarding the US peace plan for settling the Ukraine conflict since last week’s meeting between delegations of the two countries in Saudi Arabia, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said. However, he stressed that Moscow has noted Washington’s willingness to swiftly resolve the crisis.
The discussions between the teams led by Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Riyadh focused on potential Ukraine peace talks and the possibility of a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump. Both Moscow and Washington have praised the talks as highly productive.
In an interview with RIA Novosti published on Monday,Ryabkov stated that Russia is open to resolving the conflict based on a “balance of interests.” However, Moscow does not understand Trump’s plan. (When all else fails use the trope).
“We have not gained any further understanding. However, we can confidently note the US side’s desire to push for a swift ceasefire,” Ryabkov said. He stressed, however, that a ceasefire without a long-term settlement would only lead to a “quick resumption of hostilities and an even more severe conflict.”
Russia wants to avoid such a scenario, the diplomat said, adding that the solution must address the root causes of the conflict, such as Kiev’s aspirations to join NATO and its policies regarding the Russian-speaking Donbass region.
Four formerly Ukrainian regions: the Donetsk People’s Republic, Lugansk People’s Republic, Kherson region, and Zaporozhye region joined Russia following a series of referendums in 2022. Crimea had previously voted to join Russia in 2014. Ukraine seeks to return them to its control, while Russia has rejected Kiev’s claims outright.
US President Donald Trump recently suggested that Kiev could get some of the territory back, adding, however, that a return to the pre-2014 borders is “unlikely.”
Ryabkov recalled a peace plan proposed by Putin last year, noting that it contained a “significant compromise element.” Moscow has “not declared anything that would exclude a mutually acceptable step forward—quite the opposite,” the diplomat argued.
In June, Putin set out conditions for peace negotiations with Kiev, which involved the complete removal of Ukrainian troops from all Russian territories, including the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. They also involved Ukraine legally committing to never joining NATO or any other Western military blocs.
Russia has repeatedly argued that the Ukraine conflict was provoked by the military bloc’s expansion towards its borders.
Trump indicated earlier this month that Washington will not support Kiev’s accession as part of a potential peace deal with Moscow, while his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, described Ukraine’s NATO ambitions as “unrealistic.”

Russia’s top MP condemns ‘cowardly men’ who fled abroad
The State Duma speaker has denounced emigrants who “abandoned” Russia in difficult times
Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has lambasted men who left the country during the Ukraine conflict as cowards who “abandoned” their homeland.
He made his remarks while offering his best wishes to Russians on Defender of the Fatherland Day, a public holiday celebrated on February 23.
“The hardships and challenges we are facing together with our country have shown us that there are also those who became afraid, abandoned Russia in a difficult moment, and fled abroad out of cowardice. It is even worse when they are now badmouthing [Russia],” he wrote on Telegram on Sunday.
“Therefore, today’s sacred holiday is not for them. We need to openly say it and emphasize it if we are thinking about the future of our country,” he added.
While the holiday dates back to the founding of the Red Army,today it is used to celebrate all men and serves as the male equivalent to the International Women’s Day, which is celebrated in Russia on March 8.
According to ForbesRussia, between 600,000 and 900,000 people have left the country since 2022, with many moving to neighboring Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Georgia. Some fled to avoid military service after partial mobilization was declared in September 2022.
In October 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he “did not see anything immoral” in moving abroad per se. “We have a free country where a person has the right to choose where to live where he sees fit,” he said.
“What matters is the actions of individual people. If they violate Russia’s law, they must be held responsible no matter where they reside,” he argued.

Moscow reveals format of new talks with US
The upcoming meeting will involve senior officials from the two countries’ foreign services
A new meeting between Moscow and Washingtonis expected to take place in the coming week, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said.
It will involve department head-level officials from the foreign services of the two countries, Ryabkov revealed on Sunday. The deputy foreign minister did not name any individuals he expects to participate in the meeting.
“We are open to contacts with the American side, in particular, to address the irritants in bilateral relations.We expect real progress when the meeting scheduled for the end of the coming week takes place,” the deputy foreign minister said.
On Saturday, the senior diplomat suggested the looming meeting will come in preparation for higher-level talks involving Russia’s deputy foreign minister and his US counterpart.Ryabkov said the two sides have been in discussing where exactly the meeting would take place, confirming only that it is set to occur in a third country.
Contacts between Washington and Moscow, largely nonexistent for years already, intensified after US President Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20. A phone call between Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on February 12 was followed by a meeting between their respective countries’ delegations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last week to address various issues, including the Ukraine conflict.
Their respective delegations were led by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.Both sides have expressed cautious optimismin the aftermath of the Riyadh talks.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has described the ongoing dialogue as “promising,”suggesting it might ultimately clear the way for peace negotiations to resolve the Ukraine conflict.
“The dialogue is taking place between two truly outstanding presidents. It is promising.It is important that nothing hinders the realization of their political will,” Peskov said in an interview published on Sunday.

Trump says Putin treated him with ‘great respect’
The Russian president believes his US counterpart is in a “unique position” to act openly and directly
US President Donald Trump has stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin treated him with “great respect” and expressed a clear desire to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine while also reaching a deal to normalize trade and other relations between Washington and Moscow.
Contacts between the two nations, largely nonexistent for years, intensified after Trump was inaugurated on January 20. A phone call between Trump and Putin on February 12 was followed by high-level Russia-US talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last week. Putin described the discussions as “the first step” toward normalizing relations, a view Trump echoed on Monday.
“Before I came here, there was no communication with Russia whatsoever…But when I got here, one of the first calls I made was to President Putin, and we were treated with great respect. They want to end this war, so that’s a big thing,” Trump said at a press conference following his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
“I think it’s very much toRussia’s benefit to make a deal and to go on with leading Russia in a very positive way,” the US leader added.“I mean, that’s what I do. I do deals. My whole life is deals… And I know when somebody wants to make it and when somebody doesn’t.”
Trump later reinforced his position in a post on Truth Social:“I am in serious discussions with President Vladimir Putin of Russia concerning the ending of the war, and also major economic development transactions that will take place between the United States and Russia. Talks are proceeding very well!”
When asked to comment on Trump’s claim of “major transactions” between Russia and the US,Putin told Russia 1 TV journalist Pavel Zarubin on Monday that discussions were indeed taking place.
“Yes, some of our companies are in contact with each other and are discussing such projects,” the Russian leader said without elaborating. Putin added that Moscow is prepared to work with Washington in developing rare earth mineral deposits, including those in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. At the same time, he noted that the rare earth deal Trump’s administration is negotiating with Kiev “doesn’t concern” Moscow, as the actual value of Ukraine’s mineral deposits remains uncertain.
The Russian president said his direct communications with Trump, along with the meeting in Riyadh,have so far been focused on “increasing the level of trust” between the two countries.
According to Putin, Trump “acts straightforwardly and without any particular embarrassment.”
“He is in a unique position: he doesn’t just say what he thinks, he says what he wants. That’s the privilege of being the leader of one of the big, great powers,” Putin added.

Hungary to break ranks with EU on Ukraine UN motion
Budapest plans to support a US resolution on Ukraine, according to Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto
Budapest will support the US-proposed peace resolution on Ukraine rather than that tabled by fellow EU member states, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced, ahead of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Monday.
=The US has refused to support a resolution backed by Ukraine and the EU, which calls for an immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from territories claimed by Kiev and condemns “Russian aggression.”
Washington has asked Brussels to consider removing the motion and has put forward its own draft, which refrains from blaming Moscow exclusively for the war and calls for a swift end to hostilities.
“The reason is simple: liberal European leaders who support the war have been fueling the conflict for three years, and the pro-peace [US President] Donald Trump is taking steps to end it,” Szijjarto explained in a post on Facebook.
He also noted that thanks to the recent US-Russia talks in Riyadh, the end of the war in Ukraine is “closer than ever before in the last three years.”
Speaking at the UN General Assembly on Monday, US Deputy Representative to the UN Dorothy Shea called for the scrapping of the Ukrainian motion and stressed that what is needed is a “resolution that recognizes the commitment of all UN member states to a lasting end to the war” and that the draft proposed by the US “does just that.”
“The United States opposes the introduction of another resolution, and that is why we cannot support the Ukrainian resolutionand call for its withdrawal in favor of a strong statement committing us to ending the conflict and working to achieve lasting peace,” Shea concluded.
Meanwhile, Russia’s representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, has noted that Ukraine’s Vladimir=Zelensky, as well as a number of EU politicians, appear to be panicking over the fact that Russia and the US have started direct talkson resolving the Ukraine crisis.
“They are trying to ignore the fact that the wind has changed and a clear demand for peace has taken shape, the only obstacle in the way of which is the Kiev usurper and his European accomplices,” the Russian diplomat said at the UNGA session. (Kek)

‘Rational’ Trump, ‘toxic’ Zelensky, and ‘shackled’ EU: Key points from latest Putin interview
The Russian president highlighted Moscow’s strategic positioning on economic, military, and diplomatic cooperation with Washington
Russian President Vladimir Putin has shared his perspective on the policies of his US counterpart, Donald Trump, the future of Ukraine’s statehood, and the potential role of Europe in the negotiation process.
In an interview with Russia 1 TV journalist Pavel Zarubin on Monday, Putin dismissed concerns over US-Ukraine resource agreements, criticized Zelensky’s leadership,and framed Trump’s policies as pragmatic and pro-American rather than beneficial to Russia. He also pointed out that European leaders are constrained by past commitments to Kiev, while Moscow remains open to economic cooperation with the US despite ongoing sanctions.
’Toxic’ Zelensky and Ukrainian statehood
Putin described Ukrainian leader VladimirZelensky as a “toxic figure” for Ukrainian society, claiming that his irrational orders, driven by obscure political motives, have led to “unjustifiably high losses, if not catastrophic ones.”
Putin suggested that if Zelensky, whose five-year presidential term expired in May 2024, were to face new elections, he would have no chance of winning: “His chances of winning are absolutely zero – unless, of course, something is blatantly rigged.”
He argued thatZelensky’s popularity has collapsed and that he is actively avoiding peace negotiationswith Russia to maintain his hold on power: “If negotiations start, this will sooner or later lead to lifting martial law. And as soon as that happens, elections must be held.”
‘Rational’ Trump
Putin suggested that Trump sees Zelensky as an obstacle to stabilizing Ukraine and securing a peace deal: “Trump likely understands that Zelensky is a destabilizing factor. He wants to bring Ukrainians back together, consolidate its society, and create conditions for the survival of the Ukrainian state.”
Addressingclaims that Trump’s position on Ukraine plays into Russia’s hands, Putin strongly disagreed: “In the current situation, strange as it may seem, we would be more interested in [Zelensky] sitting there and further corrupting the regime with which we are in an armed conflict. And from the point of view of strengthening Ukrainian statehood, it is necessary to act in a completely different direction – to bring to power those who will enjoy the trust of the people of Ukraine.”
The Russian president also commented on Trump’s political style,rejecting the notion that the US president acts based purely on emotion: “No, of course not. His actions are based on cold calculation and a rational approach to the situation.”
The role of Europe
Putin argued that European politicians are “shackled” by their past commitments and are unable to change their approach to Ukraine without losing credibility: “Unlike the newly elected US president, European leaders are tied to the current regime in Kiev.They are too invested and have made too many promises.”
https://www.rt.com/news/613259-putin-interview-trump-zelensky/
2/2
He criticized Europe’s reaction to recent US-Russia diplomatic interactions, saying: “Their response was emotional and lacked practical meaning. Instead of addressing real issues, they focus on maintaining appearances.”
While dismissing demands by EU officials to have a say in Russia-US negotiations, Putin acknowledged that European involvement could be useful in broader discussions: “Their participation is welcome, of course. We never refused to engage with them.”
He also noted that Moscow values the efforts of non-European actors, such as BRICS nations, in promoting peace: “Not only Europeans but other countries as well have the right to participate, and we respect that.”
Military and trade relations with the US
Putin responded positively to Trump’s proposal to cut defense spending, indicating Moscow’s openness to negotiations: “We are not against it.
The idea is good: the US cuts by 50%, we cut by 50%, and if China wants, they can join later.”
Commenting on US trade policies, Putin criticized American sanctions but acknowledged that each country sets its own trade priorities: “For many years, US trade policy has been tied to sanctions. We consider these sanctions illegal and harmful to global trade.”
Regarding Trump’s shift toward tariffs, Putin said he understood the reasoning behind the move: “Each country determines independently what is beneficial… I can understand the logic – to move production back home, create jobs, force taxes to be paid… But at some point, of course, these actions will encounter certain difficulties associated with inflationary pressure.”
Putin also confirmed that “some Russian and American companies are in contact and discussing major projects” but did not specify details.
‘Rare earths’ cooperation
The rare-earth minerals deal that the Trump administration is reportedly pushing with Kiev “doesn’t concern” Moscow, Putin said, emphasizing thatRussia is focused on developing its own rare-earth sectordue to its critical importance in multiple industries.
“We would be ready to offer this to our American partners… if they showed interest in working together,” he stated, clarifying that this applies to both private companies and government entities.He stressed that Russia has significantly larger reserves of rare-earth metals than Ukraine, making it a global leader in the field.

Moscow calls for joint Russia-US projects in the Arctic(this looks like a great collaboration)
The head of the Russian sovereign wealth fund has called for revival of economic cooperation between Moscow and Washington
Russia and the US should work on all areas of economic cooperation, including projects in the Arctic region, Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), has said.
Dmitriev is a member of Russian delegation that flew to the Saudi capital of Riyadh for talks with US diplomats on Tuesday, as Moscow and Washington seek to restore bilateral ties and pave the way for a settlement of the Ukraine conflict.
The head of the RDIF, responsible for economic aspects of the high-level discussions, underscored the need for cooperation and economic opportunities that could contribute to both nations.
“We need to pursue joint projects, including, for example, in the Arctic and other areas,” the official told journalists.
Dmitriev revealed that the Russian side made several proposals along economic and investment lines, which the US team took time to think about.He expressed hope for progress on the issue within several months.
The talks, proposed following last week’s phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump, “make it possible to tell the truth,” Dmitriev said. He stressed that the administration of Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden “provided a lot of disinformation, a lot of wrong messages” about the state of the Russian economy.
Relations between Moscow and Washington plunged to a multi-decade low after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. The countries have repeatedly expelled each other’s diplomats in recent years.
Western sanctions on Moscow have also impacted international cooperation in the Arctic. Apart from Russia, the Arctic Council includes all NATO states, comprising the US, Canada, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland.Nearly a third of the council’s 130 projectsin the region have been frozen after cooperation with Moscow was paused.
Last year, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Moscow suspended annual payments to the council until the resumption of real work with the participation of all member countries. The ministry noted that Russia was not planning to leave the organization.
Despite the chill in diplomatic ties and sanctions imposed by Washington and its allies,Moscow managed to maintain limited cooperation with co-members of the Arctic Council, Reuters reported last year, participating in a training exercise that simulated a large oil spill.

MSNBC axes THREE more stars' shows after Joy Reid in network bloodbath
00:48 EST 25 Feb 2025
By ALEX HAMMER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
MSNBC has axed another three of its stars' shows after canceling Joy Reid's program.
Katie Phang (on loan from CCP), Jonathan Capehart (on loan from SPLC) and Ayman (on loan from some ME county)have also been given the boot from their current timeslots, according to the New York Post - who obtained the insight from a network source.
Mohyeldin, who hosts Ayman Mohyeldin Reports, will broadcast its final episode on April 20 at 7pm, a spokesperson confirmed.
It remains unclear when Capehart and Phang - who each also have their own weekend shows - will host their final installments.
Mohyeldin and Capehart are said to be getting new shows in different timeslots - though the details surrounding them have yet to be announced.
Phang, meanwhile, is now the network's legal correspondent, after already serving as legal analyst for NBCUniversal since 2017. Her show is filmed from MSNBC's South Florida studios, which the network is now set to shutter, sources told the Post.
News of the impending bloodbath comes hours after Joy Reid's The Reid Out was canceled amid tanking ratings - a decision leaked early Sunday and confirmed by her bosses just hours later.
Brass are now reportedly trying to get hold of the anchor to see if she'll film a final episode, as fellow NBCU asset NBC News further confirmed Monday that Lester Holt was also leaving his iconic Nightly News gig.
Joy Reid thanks fellow MSNBC hosts for their friendship and love.
Holt, after assuming the spot from a then disgraced Brian Williams in 2015, will now focus solely on Dateline, both he and more senior staffers confirmed in correspondence sent Monday morning.
As this was happening, the insider who spoke to the post revealed that both Capehart and Phang were informed about the network's decision to do away with their shows Monday as well- as the newsroom reacted to the news surrounding Holt and Reid.
The account was provided in the wake of reporting from The Guardian that indicated Mohyeldin’s program would be taken off the air.
The show's final episode will be broadcast on April 20, the paper reported - as staffers at MSNBC went on to confirm all three of the affected personalities will stay at the network, though on different shows.
Capehart and Mohyeldin - currently the hosts of The Saturday/Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart and Ayman, respectively - will man programs yet to be named, staffers confirmed.
As for The ReidOut, its undoing was confirmed by MSNBC's new president Rebecca Kutler Sunday - weeks after the boss of the media firm that now oversees MSNBC, Spinco, reportedly expressed a need for more Republican voices on the network.
On a conference call Sunday, Kutler - who assumed the post days ago after the ouster ofpresident Rashida Jones - told staffers how MSNBC would like Reid to host one last show on the network this week, but that she had yet to agree.
Seemingly doubling down on recently returned ratings crown jewel Rachel Maddow, Kutler's strategy also saw Alex Wagner pulled as the host of the network's 9pm hour on weekdays - leaving her to host days not manned by Maddow.
It remains unclear whether Reid - who after her first show, the Reid Report, was cancelled in 2020 would regularly fill in for fellow hosts Maddow and Chris Hayes - has agreed to a final broadcast.
Previously, she pivoted to manning a political weekend-morning talk show, AM Joy, that was canceled in 2020 to pave the way for her second show, set to be replaced by by a new panel-style program.
If they did this years ago, they would still have viewers, it won’t help now

🚨 BREAKING: Maine voters are now turning on their governor, Janet Mills (D), as she publicly challenges Trump's executive order banning men in women's sports.
(How many times does this have to be said, Don’t under any circumstances FAFO! With Trump, Jeez!)
🟢 Approve: 48% (-1)
🔴 Disapprove: 49%
Mills was elected by 13 points in 2022.Now, she's underwater.
Earlier in February, Maine said it will disobey the order and still allow transgenders - males - to compete in female sports.
The poll's field date, by UNH, was right before this interaction Mills had with Trump last week, where she vowed to Trump "see you in court."
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JANET MILLS: I'm complying with state and federal laws.
TRUMP: WE are the federal law. You better do it, because you're not gonna get any federal funding if you don't… your population also doesn't want men in women's sports. You better comply, or you're not getting any federal funding.
MILLS: See you in court.
TRUMP: Good. See you in court, that should be a real easy one. Enjoy your life after, governor, I don't think you'll be in elected office.

No More Singularities? Quantum Gravity Could Finally Solve the Black Hole Mystery
February 24, 2025
(They have no idea)
A groundbreaking study has shown that black holes can exist without singularities, eliminating the need for exotic matter. The discovery, based on quantum gravity corrections, offers a more natural explanation of black hole formation and aligns with thermodynamic laws. Credit: SciTechDaily.com
Scientists have discovered a way to create black holes without the mysterious singularities where physics breaks down.
By using pure gravity rather than exotic matter, their new model challenges previous theories and brings us closer to understanding the true nature of spacetime. This breakthrough not only simplifies the conditions for black hole formation but also aligns with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. The research opens doors to new astrophysical applications and could ultimately reveal how the universe prevents singularities from forming.
Black Holes Without Singularities
Black holes, as described by Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, are thought to contain singularities — points where the laws of physics no longer apply. Understanding how these singularities might be resolved within the framework of quantum gravity remains one of the biggest challenges in theoretical physics.
Now, researchers from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have made a groundbreaking discovery. For the first time, they have demonstrated that black holes can form purely through gravitational effects, without requiring exotic matter — an ingredient that some previous models depended on.
Published in Physics Letters B, this finding offers new insights into the quantum nature of gravity and could reshape our understanding of the true structure of spacetime.
Exotic Matter No Longer Needed
The term exotic matter refers to a type of matter that has unusual properties not found in ordinary matter. It often has a negative energy density, creates repulsive gravitational effects, and can violate certain energy conditions in general relativity. Exotic matter is largely theoretical and has not been observed in nature, but is used in models to explore concepts such as wormholes, faster-than-light travel and the resolution of black hole singularities.
The new study mathematically demonstrates that an infinite series of higher-order gravitational corrections can eliminate these singularities and result in so-called regular black holes.
Pure Gravity and Regular Black Holes
Unlike previous models, which required exotic matter, this new study reveals that pure gravity — without additional matter fields — can generate regular black holes without singularities.
This discovery represents a significant departure from previous theories and simplifies the conditions necessary for regular black holes.
“The beauty of our construction is that it is based only on modifications of the Einstein equations predicted naturally by quantum gravity. No other components are needed,” says researcher Pablo A. Cano, from the Department of Quantum Physics and Astrophysics at the Faculty of Physics and ICCUB….

Trump, DOGE work to shutter CFPB, an agency created in response to the 2008 financial crisis
60-minutes By Lesley Stahl
February 23, 2025 / 7:00 PM EST / CBS
In his role overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, Elon Musk posted on X yesterday an order to all federal workers to report what they got done last week. Failure to do so would be taken as a resignation. This bombshell was dropped as teams of DOGE workers continue to zero in on one agency after the next: the IRS, Social Security Administration, and others that store your personal information.
One agency the president wants to expunge is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the CFPB – created to shield Americans from financial fraud and shady lending practices. A DOGE team was given wide access to the bureau's computers. What are they looking for? Are they downloading files? Deleting them? We don't know.
Rohit Chopra was the director of the CFPB until February 1 when he was fired by President Trump. It was the first salvo against the bureau.
Lesley Stahl: Most people have never heard of the CFPB. Why were you targeted?
Rohit Chopra: Well that's what's so suspicious right now. It's a pretty small agency. But here's what's interesting – the companies that the CFPB oversees are actually some of the biggest and most powerful.
Lesley Stahl: Like what?
Rohit Chopra: The biggest Wall Street banks, the biggest credit card companies, the biggest tech companies in Silicon Valley who are increasingly lurching into banking and finance.
Lesley Stahl: And these companies don't like it?
Rohit Chopra: Well, why would they?
Lesley Stahl: Right, why would they?
Rohit Chopra: They would want a situation where the agency is a lapdog rather than a watchdog.
The watchdog bureau – created by Congress - was the brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (during CFPB protest): After the 2008 financial crash and the big bank bailout, Congress created the CFPB to protect people from getting swindled.
She's now leading the uphill fight to keep the bureau alive.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (during CFPB protest): For every person who wants to buy a home without getting scammed, this fight is your fight. For every student who wants to borrow money to go to school without getting defrauded, for every member of our military who doesn't want to get trapped by some sleazy pay-day lender, say it with me? This is your fight. Oh and for every American who doesn't want some weird Elon Musk suck-up searching through your personal, private data, this is your fight.
President Trump (in Oval Office): Pocahontas, Pocahontas, the fake, the faker.
With Sen. Warren's connection, the president and conservatives in general dismiss the agency as a seat of woke radicalism.
President Trump (in Oval Office): It was a bad group of people running it… that was a vicious group of people. They really destroyed a lot of people.
Reporter (in Oval Office): Can you confirm it's, your goal is to have it totally eliminated, the agency?
President Trump (in Oval Office): I would say yeah because we're trying to get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.
Getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse is a job the president handed to Elon Musk, and DOGE. But eliminating an agency that regulates tech companies creates a potential for conflicts of interest for Musk, especially given the secrecy of the project.
Elon Musk (in Oval office): I don't know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization. And then you can see: am I doing something that benefits one of my companies or not? It's totally obvious.
If there's one thing the DOGE operation is not, it's obvious or transparent. Take the small team that was given access to the bureau's computers. These are rare verified pictures of three team members entering the building on Friday, February 7.
Hanna Hickman: We heard from our colleagues that they're camped out in the basement. And they've got papers up on the windows to keep people from looking in. And they've been accessing data, certainly.
Hanna Hickman: That's what we've heard. I think if there was transparency people might feel more confident about what's happening.
Three hours after they swept in, Elon Musk posted this on X: "CFPB RIP" – rest in peace. That day, President Trump appointed Russell Vought, an ardent critic of the bureau, as its acting director, and he announced on X he would stop funding the agency: "the spigot… is now being turned off."
Lorelei Salas: I'm worried about your account number, your social security number being out there….KEK

‘Our stories matter’: Students walk out of DODEA school in Japan in support of diversity’Alex Wilson
High school students Michele Holloway and Liam Boyd hold a sign that reads, “Diversity is strength not a threat.”
Nile C. Kinnick High School students Michele Holloway and Liam Boyd helped organize a student protest at Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan, against anti-DEI initiatives, Feb. 21, 2025.
YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — More than 100 high school students — the children of Navy parents and Defense Department employees — staged a half-hour walkout Friday morning to protest Pentagon policies targeting diversity programs.
About 150 students at Nile C. Kinnick High School on Yokosuka, the headquarters of the U.S. 7th Fleet, circled the school courtyard, chanting and carrying banners.
“I love this school; I think one of its greatest strengths is its diversity,” said senior Chase Hassell, president of the student council.
“I think we have such a great multicultural community, and I think that it’s important for the development of all children — not just us — to have experiences with different people of different beliefs and backgrounds,” Hassell told Stars and Stripes after the demonstration.
The protest pushed back on a Jan. 27 executive order by President Donald Trump ending diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, programs created under previous administrations.
“These actions undermine leadership, merit, and unit cohesion, thereby eroding lethality and force readiness,” Trump’s order states. “They also violate Americans’ consciences by engaging in invidious race and sex discrimination.
Among the direct impact on Department of Defense Education Activity schools are the screening and possible removal of books and classroom discussions of diversity, equity and inclusion; possible curtailing of some school clubs and extracurricular activities; the end to official observations like Black History Month; and the possible cancellation of Kinnick’s annual Diversity Day on March 14.
The school was directed to “pause planned activities and events for cultural observances” to comply with DOD guidance, according to a Feb. 5 email from Kinnick principal Kira Hurst to students and parents. Diversity Day may be postponed or canceled, she wrote, according to a copy of the message obtained by Stars and Stripes.
At Friday’s demonstration, which began about 30 minutes before the end of second period, students carried signs proclaiming, “Diversity is Strength, Not a Threat” and “Diversity Needs to Be Seen,” and chanted, “Our stories matter!” until departing for lunch.
Freshman Beau Tran said the walkout partially drew inspiration from a Feb. 11 protest by students at Patch Middle School in Stuttgart, Germany. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was visiting Patch Barracks at the time.
“I was scared, of course, to actually do this,” Tran said after the protest, adding he was emboldened by knowing others shared his concerns. “It really made me feel like we could do this. We could make a change. We can make a difference.” (They can never fight a war now. (They damaged America’s safety)
In Belgium, American schools at NATO headquarters removed Harriet Tubman posters, origami cranes and art displays that included rainbows ahead of an expected visit by the defense secretary’s wife, Jennifer Rauchet Hegseth, The New York Times reported Feb. 13, citing anonymous sources. Her schedule was cut short, and she visited one U.S. and one Canadian school, the newspaper reported.
It said The Kinnick protest was organized through social media and the leaders of student groups, Hassell said.==
Hurst, after Friday’s protest, declined to comment on the event itself, but said students coordinated with the school administration ahead of time.
She also said books at Kinnick are not yet banned but are under review by DODEA.
Hurst declined to provide examples of books under review and said any further inquiries would require a Freedom of Information Act request.
DODEA-Pacific spokeswoman Miranda Ferguson did not immediately respond to phone and email request for comment Friday afternoon.

Wasserman Schultz, Democrats set up web portal to 'hear' stories of those hurt by Trump policies
WLRN Public Media
Published February 22, 2025 at 11:00 AM
Congressional Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, have created a portal website to field complaints from constituents who believe they have been hurt by the policies of newly elected President Trump and his administration.
“If you lost your job, been denied important services, or face other impacts because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s extreme, illegal, and unconstitutional actions, we need to hear directly from you,” said Wasserman Schultz in a statement.
“This is one key way we can fight back, by sharing our story and standing together,” she said. “House Democrats are also challenging Trump and Musk in Congress, the courts, and inside our communities. With your personal stories, we will be better able to fight to protect you and other Americans.”
Anyone interested in sharing their story with Democrats in Congress can visit the website — https://democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory. It is managed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Democrats in the U.S. Senate have created a similar portal for government whistleblowers.
"Whistleblowers are essential in helping uncover fraud and abuse in the federal government. If you have information you want to share about wrongdoing, abuse of power, and threats to public safety, we stand ready to support you in your pursuit of truth and justice," Schumer and Gary Peters, the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, writes in a letter to civil servans.
Trump began his second administration in January with a blitz of policy actions to reorient the U.S. government.
His executive orders cover issues that range from trade, immigration and U.S. foreign aid to demographic diversity, civil rights and the hiring of federal workers. Some have an immediate policy impact. Others are more symbolic. And some already are being challenged by federal lawsuits.
In total, the Republican president’s sweeping actions reflect many of his campaign promises and determination to concentrate executive branch power in the West Wing, while moving the country sharply rightward.

This should really help them with future jobs. the First thing employers do to is look at social media and general search name to rule them out
Kek, that’s profoundly true. Her looks and voice are not becoming
I don’t think they know what they like. It’s programming, they got them when they were young. Just wait of they go to war, and try to hug it out with the enemy.
Big balls no knowledge, or sense
He kind of outed himself years ago
My mother taught me, I didn’t think it was masculine, but she was my mother. AND she liked the “switch” if we did things that were bad.
(Switch: long and and tender branch from a bush, to use on our legs, left welts) KEK my older brother got a lot more than me. I watched
Her funniest statements were saying, “Look over there, she’s very unfortunate”
I guess unfortunate meant ugly, and she was right. She never said ugly though, but she used God Damnit a lot.
Oh yeah, I kept my mouth shut with my mother. She was lovely and loving but she believed in corporal punishment when we were way out of line. (Irish and English descent mostly Irish is my guess) plus she had ten kids. The younger ones learned from the older ones, what NOT to do
Kek…anyone that reports to them will never have a cushy job again
Well no!
Diversity Is stupidity, the person lacks knowledge of mankind and how we evolved
Macron is such a toad he deserves whatever he got. Little freakin liar
All the pics of PDJT and First Lady this year, looks like a challenge to FA and FO. Seriously they are both warriors. Just test them
She already lost influence years ago and she gets uglier every year
