Ukrainians fear losing homes and jobs in UK – survey

 

A scheme that gave asylum seekers from Ukraine the right to live in Britain for three years has expired

 

Thousands of Ukrainian migrants are at risk of losing their jobs and housing in the UK amid uncertainties over visa renewals, The Telegraph reported on Friday, citing a new survey by the University of Birmingham.

 

Around 270,000 Ukrainian citizens currently live in the UK under special schemessuch as ‘Homes for Ukraine’, which offered three-year visas to those fleeing the conflict with Russia. This scheme, however, has been closed to new applicants, andexisting visas are now beginning to expire. While a new ‘Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme’ allows 18-month visa renewals, applications were not accepted until February 4, creating a backlog and leaving many in legal limbo.

 

According to a survey ofover 1,100 Ukrainian migrants, 41% said they have lost job opportunities, and22%have been denied contract renewals due to their uncertain immigration status. Around26%said they could not renew their rental agreements, while25%were unable to sign new leases.

 

Respondents also reported increased mental stress, with 43.5% citing anxiety and panic attacks related to their immigration status. More than half of the Ukrainian refugees surveyed said they have school-aged children, which adds to concerns over long-term stability.

 

The researchers behind the study have urged the UK government to automatically extend visas for Ukrainians, but Labour MP Emily Thornberry, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, said the findings reflect systemic issues, with most migrants with temporary visas facing similar problems.

 

Commenting on the report, a government spokesman said the UK remains “fully committed” to supporting Ukrainian migrants and continues to review its visa programs. He did not comment on whether the process would be streamlined or made automatic, however.

 

The news comes as many other countries in Europe face challenges dealing with the influx of Ukrainian migrants. According to Eurostat,more than 4.3 million Ukrainians are registered for temporary protection across the EU.

 

While Brussels insists that support must continue and has recently extended its visa scheme for Ukrainians until March 2026, many member states have signaled reluctance to continue the same level of support.

 

Germany, whichhosts over 1.2 million Ukrainian refugees, has debated cutting welfare benefits, citing sustainability concerns.Polandhas expressed opposition to taking in more migrants under the EU’s new migration pact, while theCzech Republichas announced plans to end preferential treatment for Ukrainian asylum seekers.

(This is what the EU “virtue signaling” leaders do by supporting a war by Ukraine against Russia, does to the continent; and what stupid leaders and countries, do to their own citizens. Taking in so many Ukrainians, the whole country turns the EU into a mini Ukraine.)

Poland moving closer to asylum ban at border with Russian ally

The UN refugee watchdog earlier warned that the EU-backed policy on the Belarusian border would violate international law

 

Poland is on the verge of approving a controversial bill that would entailrefusing to accept most asylum claims from migrants arriving from neighboring Belarus. The policy, which has yet to be formally approved by President Andrzej Duda but has the EU’s blessing, has been criticized as violating international law.

 

In February, the Polish parliament approved a bill allowing the right to apply for asylum at the Belarus border to be suspended. The move is aimed at countering what Polish officials have described as “hybrid warfare” tactics by Belarus and Russia.Both Moscow and Minsk have denied orchestrating an influx of migrants into the EU.

 

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted that the bill still needed Duda’s signature. “It is not my job to rush the president. Of course, I know the constitutional powers… I know that he still has time. But we, Poles, do not have time, because…every day we record 100, 150, 200 attempts to cross the border illegally,” he said.

 

According to RMF FM, Duda was “very irritated” by Tusk nudging him publicly. The outlet added, however, that the president “often emphasizes that he is in favor of strengthening our eastern border, so there will be a signature.”

 

Back in 2024, the EU backed Tusk’s plan to suspend asylum claims, with the European Council stating at the time that “Russia and Belarus… cannot be allowed to abuse our values, including the right to asylum, and to undermine our democracies” and voicing support for the push to secure the bloc’s external borders.

 

However, in February, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees warned that the proposed legislation would violate the international and European law,recalling that countries cannot return asylum seekers to a place “where they would be at risk of persecution or serious harm.”Human Rights Watch also criticized the bill, arguing that it would “formalize ongoing unlawful and abusive pushbacks at Poland’s border with Belarus.”

 

The crisis began in 2021, when thousands of migrants – mainly from the Middle East and Africa – began crossing into Poland from Belarus amid tensions between Minsk and the West. The EU imposed sanctions on Belarus over allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election, a claim Minsk has vehemently denied.

 

In January, BelarusianPresident Alexander Lukashenko signaled that he had no intention of shielding Poland from a migrant influx. “We do not fight against migration and people who want to live there [in the EU]… They slapped my people with sanctions, and I have to protect them? No way,” he said at the time.

You must welcome gay people – UN to Hungary

 

The organization has expressed concern about a new law banning LGBTQ pride events

 

The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has sounded the alarm overHungary’s recent law banning pride events, urging the government to repeal it. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has argued that the legislation seeks to protect minors from harmful influences.

 

On Tuesday,Hungary’s parliament passed a law prohibiting pride eventsand authorizing the authorities touse facial recognition technology to identify participants and give them fines of $500.The legislation, backed by Orban’s Fidesz party and its junior partner, the Christian Democrats,passed 136-27 under an expedited procedure.

 

The measure amends the country’s assembly regulations toban events that violate Hungary’s child protection laws, which prohibit the portrayal of homosexuality to minors. All profits from the fines will also be diverted to child protection policies. The law has sparked protests in Budapest, with opposition lawmakers using smoke bombs in the parliament chamber.

 

In a statement on Friday,UN Human Rights spokesperson Liz Throssell blasted the new law, stating that the agency is “deeply concerned” about the move, which she said “results in arbitrary and discriminatory restrictions on the rights of LGBTIQ+ individuals to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and privacy.”

 

She also condemned the surveillance measures, saying they “should be limited to those strictly necessary and proportionate for achieving legitimate objectives and should never be deployed in a discriminatory manner.”

 

UN Human Rights chief Volker Turk called on the Hungarian authorities to repeal the lawand urged them to combat what he called “the high levels of intolerance, discrimination, bullying and harassment related to sexual orientation.”

 

Orban, who has long been an ardent critic of “woke policies,” has defended the new law, insisting that“the international gender network must take its hands off our children.” He accused the EU authorities and the previous US administration of “pushing their harmful agendas,” but said that after the election of US President Donald Trump, “the winds have shifted in our favor.”

 

“We finally have the space to act and protect our children.No more re-education, no more compromises. Our children come first, and we will fight to defend their future,” he wrote on X.

Bookmakers see 20% chance of third Trump term – media

 

The US Constitution states that a president can only serve two terms

Bookmakers view US President Donald Trump as one of the top picks to win the 2028 election, despite the two-term constitutional limit, Newsweek has reported, citing the latest betting data.

 

According to an article published on Saturday, British betting company William Hill has listedTrump as a favorite to win the next presidential race with 5/1 odds, giving him a 16.7% chance of securing what would be his third term in office.

 

The leading contender is Vice President J.D. Vance, with 5/2 odds (28.6%). Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is next in line with 9/1 odds (10%). Democratic governors Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gavin Newsom of California are also in the top five, with 9/1 and 10/1 odds, respectively.

 

Trump won the 2024 election by a wide margin against Democratic candidate and then-Vice President Kamala Harris, becoming the second president in US history to serve two non-consecutive terms.

 

The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution states that “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” The amendment was introduced after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four-term presidency.

 

Trump has repeatedly joked that he may end up serving more than two terms. Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has claimed recently that Trump will run again in 2028. In an interview with journalist Chris Cuomo, Bannon said his team is working to find ways Trump could bypass the restrictions laid out in the Constitution.

 

A William Hill spokesperson told Newsweek thatrepealing the 22nd Amendment would be a difficult process, but Trump might attempt it due to his support in Congress.

 

“Trump ally Steve Bannon predicted this week that the POTUS would run for a third term and win, so there’s certainly a feeling that it could be possible, and we’re not taking any chances as we’ve installed him in our next president market at 5/1, behind only favorite J.D. Vance,”the spokesperson added.

 

Amendments to the Constitution must be approved by a 2/3 majority in both the House and Senate and then ratified by 3/4 of the states.

Trump hails ‘rational’ Putin conversations

The US president has held at least two phone calls with his Russian counterpart about Ukraine over the past few weeks

 

US President Donald Trump has praised his work relationship with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, describing their conversations as “very rational” and reiterating a desire to end the Ukraine conflict.

 

In an interview aboard Air Force One with the outlet OutKick on Saturday, Trump reflected on his history with Putin and the Ukraine conflict, describing himself as the only person capable of “stopping” the Russian leader.

 

“I don’t think there’s anybody in the world that [is] going to stop [Putin], except me, and I think I’m going to be able to stop him”, he said. “We’ve had some very rational discussions, and I just want to see the people stop getting killed.”

 

He warned that failure to mediate the conflict could lead to World War III, but noted that “it’s somewhat under control.” “I have a good relationship with President Putin and, actually, a good relationship with President Zelensky too. It’d be a great thing to be able to stop it. And I will say this, nobody else would have been able to.”

 

After his inauguration, Trump actively sought to restore relations with Russia, which were at an all-time low, and to mediate a settlement of the Ukraine conflict.The Russian and US leaders have held at least two phone calls on the matter, while delegations from the two countries have held several rounds of direct talks.

 

During the last phone conversation on Tuesday, which lasted two and a half hours, Putin and Trump discussed the US president’s idea of a 30-day ceasefire. Putin generally spoke favorably of the initiative but mentioned several major obstacles, including the need to establish a monitoring mechanism and prevent forced mobilization and rearmament in Ukraine during the ceasefire.

 

At the same time, Putin supported the idea of Moscow and Kiev halting strikes on each other's energy infrastructure facilities for 30 days.

 

Following the talks, Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, suggested that a complete ceasefire in the conflict could be implemented within “a couple of weeks.”

 

He later noted that Kiev had seemingly agreed to stay out of NATO – one of Moscow’s key demands – adding that the key item on the agenda was now the fate of Crimea and the four other former Ukrainian territories that voted to become part of Russia.

IRS nearing agreement to use its data to help ICE locate undocumented migrants

By Kevin Liptak, CNN March 23, 2025

 

The IRS is close to finalizing an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to help locate migrants suspected of being in the US illegally, a person familiar with the matter said, as President Donald Trump continues his hardline deportation push.

 

The agreement would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement to submit names and addresses of people it suspects of living in the country illegally to the IRS, which the tax agency would then cross-reference and confirm, the person said.

 

Tax information has generally been closely held within the IRS, and laws prohibit improper disclosure of taxpayer information. The IRS has encouraged undocumented migrants to file taxes, a process that includes providing the agency with their addresses, employers and earnings.

 

CNN reported earlier this year that DHS had circulated a draft memo to the IRS that represented a sweeping request for information about suspected undocumented immigrants, including the home addresses of several hundred thousand individuals who paid federal taxes based on their individual taxpayer identification numbers, according to a source with direct knowledge of the document.

 

Privacy experts say that would be a violation of the strict disclosure laws that the IRS operates under which prohibit the release of tax information by an IRS employee.

 

The draft the person described Sunday appears to be a narrower version of the earlier draft. Under the current iteration, the IRS would confirm migrants’ addresses rather than provide the information to ICE.

 

Still, it would amount to a major shift by the agency. Requests would need to be submitted by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem or acting ICE director Todd Lyons, and must include the name and address of the taxpayer, and the date of their removal order, which would allow the IRS to confirm the information.

 

Two immigrant rights groups in Chicago sued the Treasury Department and IRS earlier this month and asked a judge to block the agency from sharing taxpayers’ identifying information with ICE or DHS, as Trump pushes for more deportations.

 

The groups claimed federal law “forbids” the IRS from giving this data to immigration authorities, because ICE and DHS aren’t listed as exceptions to the confidentiality rules in the tax code.

Members of British Punk Band UK Subs Detained and Denied Entry into US

Bassist Alvin Gibbs believes his "regular and less than flattering public pronouncements" about the Trump administration could have been a factor

 

March 21, 2025 | 3:04pm ET

British punk pioneers UK Subs have revealed that three band members were denied entry into the US over the weekend.

 

Bassist Alvin Gibbs shared his account of the incident in a lengthy Facebook post on Wednesday.Gibbs, guitarist Marc Carrey, and drummer Stefan Häublein were all detained by immigration officers, while vocalist Charlie Harper was granted entry.

 

This left Harper to perform their scheduled appearance at LA Punk Invasion 2025 with a lineup of stand-in musicians while his bandmates were deported back to the UK.

 

In the post, Gibbs stated he was flagged for questioning upon landing in Los Angeles with his partner, andinformed he lacked the proper visa. Gibbs added that there was an undisclosed issue raised by the officer, which he speculated might be related to his band’s criticism of President Trump.

 

“I’m now wondering if my regular and less than flattering public pronouncements regarding their president and his administration were a factor; or maybe that’s just me succumbing to paranoia,” he wrote.

 

Gibbs was then escorted to a “very cold holding pen” in another part of LAX, where Carrey and Häublein were already detained. “My luggage, phone and passport were all taken from me,“ he shared, noting that he was called for a second interview at 4:00 a.m. — several hours after landing at 7:00 p.m.

 

After being held for “25 hours without sleep,” Gibbs was finally released and reunited with his partner, Roz.

 

“Although not being something I’d want to replicate, it was actually an educational experience,” Gibbs concluded. “I’m kind of proud of myself for being thrown out of America at the age of 67, now knowing that my relationship with that country is over for the foreseeable future.”

 

Earlier this month, the French government said a researcher was denied entry into Texasand deported because his phone contained texts expressing his “personal opinion” about the Trump administration’s science policy.

 

A spokeswoman for the Department ofHomeland Security has since issued a statement claiming the researcher was “in possession of confidential information on his electronic device from Los Alamos National Laboratory — in violation of a nondisclosure agreement— something he admitted to taking without permission and attempted to conceal.”

Exclusive: 20% of Americans support boycott of firms aligning themselves with Trump agenda

New poll also shows that a significant share of Americans will avoid companies that drop social-inclusion policies

 

Lauren Aratani

One in five Americans plan to turn their backs for good on companies that have shifted their policies to align with Donald Trump’s agenda, according to a new poll for the Guardian.

 

As high-profile brands including Amazon, Target and Tesla grapple with economic boycotts,research by the Harris Poll indicated the backlash could have a lasting impact.

 

“Companies and consumers are playing a high-stakes game of chicken – corporations betting on convenience winning out over conviction, while consumers wield their spending power like a weapon,” said Libby Rodney, chief strategy officer at the Harris Poll.

 

“The data suggests this is a miscalculation,” she said. “When 20% of Americans are permanently changing their consumption habits and nearly a third of boycotters say they’ll hold out indefinitely, convenience may no longer be the decisive factor companies think it is.”

 

When asked about the boycotts that have been making headlines over the last few weeks, 36% of Americans said they are or will be participating.

 

The strength of feeling varied significantly among people of different generations, races and political views:

 

53% of gen Zers and 46% of millennials said they are participating in boycotts, compared with 30% of gen Xers and just 22% of Boomers.

 

Over half of Black (53%) and Hispanic (51%) Americans are boycotting, compared with 29% of white Americans.

 

Democrats (49%) are far more likely to be boycotting now than independents (32%) and conservatives (29%).

 

When given a list of reasons why they are boycotting, Americans said the top reason was they want to show companies that consumers have economic power and influence (53%) and express their dissatisfaction with current government policies (49%).

 

Nearly half of those boycotting (46%) also pointed to companies rolling back their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies as a reason behind their boycott.

 

It’s difficult to track the tangible impacts boycotts have on companies and exactly how many people participate in them. Many start on social media, but other consumers have said they made the decision to move away from companies on their own.

 

Some groups have coordinated boycotts within their communities in recent weeks, particularly in response to companies like Target, Amazon and Walmart rolling back DEI measures. Target, for example, ended hiring goals for marginalized groups, while Walmart said it will no longer prioritize finding suppliers that are women- or minority-owned companies.

 

Some Americans feel companies are giving up core moral values in bowing to the president.

 

The Rev Jamal Bryant, a pastor based in Baltimore with a large social media following, called on his followers to give up spending money at Target for Lent, which started on 5 March and lasts until 17 April.

 

“These rollbacks represent more than just corporate decisions; they reflect a deeper erosion of the moral and ethical commitment necessary to build a just society,” Bryant wrote on the website he made for the boycott, targetfast.org. “This Lent, we will begin a corporate fast, starting with Target, as a spiritual act of resistance.”

 

Hispanic activists have similarly called on their community to boycott companies, calling it the Latino Freeze Movement. The movement calls for a boycott on companies that have scaled back their DEI initiatives, and asks for participants to not spend money on non-essentials “until they show us that they care about our minority and immigrant populations”.

 

Last month, a Harris poll found that 31% of Americans have reported similar goals to “opt out” of the economy this year in light of the changing political climate.

 

The companies have said that they are responding to a changing legal environment around DEI. DEI has been a flashpoint in the culture wars for years, with conservatives arguing that it unfairly discriminates against groups that have historically been in the majority, like white Americans.

 

On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to abolish DEI, and he signed multiple executive orders ending DEI programs within the federal government as soon as he came into office. The impact that the administration can have on efforts in the private sector is still unclear,but some companies appear willing to risk losing customers instead of taking their chances.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats’ 10-Part Strategy to Stopping Trump (At Any Cost)

Despite their unprecedented unpopularity, Democrats aren’t operating in a nihilistic vacuum.They are currently carrying out a a highly organized counter-agenda. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down this agenda into 10 key themes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

 

Democrats think “ Donald Trump must be considered, as Chris Matthews just said, a Mussolini-like figure. He must be opposed in every aspect. He must be demonized. Everything he does is evil. And by extension, the same is true of Elon Musk.

 

“ The second thing I’ve noticed, very quickly, is ICE is wrong. You have to stop ICE from deporting anybody, even if they’re a criminal.

 

“ There should be no cuts. No cuts in the federal government. We have a $1.7 trillion deficit. … We’re not going to discuss it. All we know is there should be no layoffs.”

EU strategy towards Ukraine is ‘rudderless’ – Orban

 

Brussels risks being left out as Washington negotiates agreements with Moscow and Kiev, the Hungarian leader has warned

 

The EU has messed up its policy on the Ukraine conflict, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said. He reproached Brussels for its pro-war stance, while Washington is actively negotiating with both Moscow and Kiev to end the hostilities.

 

Earlier this week,Hungary refused to endorse the EU’s joint statement on Ukraine following the European Council meeting in Brussels. The document reaffirmed the bloc’s uncompromising stance on the conflict and its intentions to further supply the country with weapons.

 

“I’m trying to find a good word that isn’t offensive to them, but accurately describes the situation; perhaps ‘rudderless’ is the right term,” Orban said on Friday in an interview with Kossuth Radio, when asked to assess the EU’s strategy regarding Ukraine and during the post-war period in general.

 

The Hungarian leader warned thatat some point, Europeans will find themselves in “a situation where everything is already settled,”emphasizing that Brussels won’t even be needed for the agreements that could eventually be reached by Washington.

 

Shortly after taking office on January 20, US President Donald Trump launched a diplomatic campaign aimed at mediating an end to the conflict. His special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, recently suggested that a complete ceasefire between Kiev and Moscow could be reached within several weeks.

 

There will be an American-Ukrainian agreement, an American-Russian agreement, and even a Russian-Ukrainian agreement brokered by them [the US],” Orban said, stressing that the bloc had “messed up.”

 

The prime minister recalled thathe had warned earlierthat unless the EU “changed our pro-war position and started outlining and standing for an independent European stance, we would find ourselves exactly in the position that we are in now:the future of Europe is being settled without us.”

 

The Hungarian authorities have long criticized the EU’s approach to the Ukraine conflict as being incapable of ending the hostilities and damaging to the bloc’s member states. Orban has urged EU leaders to align the bloc’s stance with that of the Trump administration. He stressed that while the US is opting for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, the EU is pursuing a policy of more war.

US sets Easter target for Ukraine ceasefire deal – Bloomberg

Moscow has accused Kiev of multiple violations of the partial truce imposed earlier this week

 

Washington is still hoping to broker a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict by Easter, Bloomberg wrote on Sunday, citing sources.

 

US President Donald Trump has vowed to bring a swift end to the hostilities in Ukraine, and has moved to restart diplomatic relations with Russia, which were frozen during the term of his predecessor, Joe Biden.

 

Russian and US delegations are set to meet in Riyadh on Mondayfor the second round of high-level talks since the apparent thaw.

 

Following Tuesday’s phone conversation between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow agreed to a mutual temporary halt on strikes against energy infrastructure, which it says Kiev immediately violated.

 

The White House aims to have Russia and Ukraine agree to a full ceasefire by Easter Sunday – April 20 – but realizes that the timeline could be delayeddue to significant differences between the sides, Bloomberg wrote, citing anonymous sources familiar with the discussions.

 

Prior to talks with Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in Moscow last week, Putin stated that while he is open to a 30-day ceasefire, all military supplies to Kiev as well as the Ukrainian draft campaign need to stop to avoid strengthening Ukraine during the pause.

 

Washington, which briefly stopped intelligence sharing and military aid to Kiev earlier this month, has not agreed to any of the demands, US officials told Bloomberg.According to the newspaper’s US sources, Trump wants any potential deal to be acceptable to Kiev, and isn’t prepared to concede too much.(Bloomberg is propaganda)

 

Despite agreeing to the terms of the US-brokered partial truce, Ukraine struck an oil depot in southern Russia the day after the agreement, and blew up a gas metering station in Russia’s Kursk Region on Friday.

 

The violations show that Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky is not trustworthy, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview on Sunday. “The Kiev regime’s words and Zelensky’s word are not worth much,” he said.

 

Ukrainian claims that Russia shelled its own gas metering station in Sudzha are “absurd,” he added.

 

Earlier this week, Putin stressed thatRussia needs to hear a concrete plan on how a full ceasefire would be enforced and regulated before Moscow agrees.

Zelenskyy Rejects Idea of U.N. Peacekeepers in Ukraine – Yet Two Years Ago He Wanted Them

 

March 23, 2025 | Sundance |

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected the proposal to use United Nations (U.N) peacekeepers in Ukraine as part of a ceasefire operation. Two years ago, Zelenskyy was asking for U.N peacekeepers [SEE HERE] so, what changed?

 

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is asking for “security guarantees” during a ceasefire. The U.N peacekeepers are proposed as a potential peacekeeping group to provide those “security guarantees” he says are so important.Zelenskyy rejects the idea, seemingly demanding that NATO put their troops on the ground. This guy is something else.

 

UKRAINE – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to deploy United Nations (UN) peacekeeping forces to Ukraine. According to Zelensky, such a move would not provide effective security guarantees and could ultimately benefit Russia.

 

During a press conference in Kyiv, Zelensky emphasized thatUkraine requires a long-term protection strategy, not a temporary solution that could jeopardize the country’s sovereignty. “We will not accept a scenario that risks giving an advantage to Russia or limiting our freedom to defend ourselves,” Zelensky stated.

Every country should walk away on trying to help Ukraine, because Ukraine wants to create more chaos in Europe and America. He will lose when the US agencies are revealed that they gave him every option. He rejected all peace. I wonder how much they were promised?

Sunday Talks – Attorney General Pam Bondi Outlines Politics Against Lawfare

 

March 23, 2025 | Sundance |

Attorney General Pam Bondi makes her 69th Fox appearance this year to talk about how the Biden and Congress approval ratings are terrible when contrast against their opposition to President Trump’s deportation program.

 

As a political pundit Mrs Bondi is an effective communicator as she outlines how Judge Boasberg made her work on weekends. However, as the head of the United States Dept of Justice, those political skillsets just don’t transfer to legal acumen. What we end up with is performance #69. WATCH:

 

We worried that AG Pam Bondi would be performative. We didn’t know each performance would be on Fox

Emissary Witkoff Says He was “Duped” by Hamas

 

March 23, 2025 | Sundance

Within the recent interview between President Trump’s emissary Steve Witkoff and Tucker Carlson, there was a very weird segment where Ambassador Witkoff was heaping praise upon the Qatari government. [SEE HERE] Carlson sat there nodding and affirming his support for Witkoff’s opinion of Qatar. It was really bizarre. {GO DEEP}

That segment of the interview was bizarre because there is zero doubt that Qatar is a bad actor in all things related to the middle east and U.S. domestic policy outcomes. For Ambassador Witkoff to be that wrong about such a big item puts a question mark behind his judgement and the influences on his opinions toward the relationships in the middle east.

Qatar is bad news. President Trump has previously, correctly, called out the nation of Qatar for being the center of support for radical extremism throughout the region. Qatar is also connected at the hip to the CIA.

Qatar funded and supported the original “Arab spring,” more accurately known as the Islamist Spring.Qatar is the banker for the Muslim Brotherhood.The Qatari government fund Al Jazerra. When the Arab extremists were exiled from Egypt the leaders fled to Qatar. The leaders of Hamas also live in Qatar.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) eventually had to confront Qatar with sanctions and ostracization due to the Qatari support for radical Islamic extremism. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain, all of which barely survived in the Arab Spring uprisings, all put pressure on Qatar to stop their support for radical Sunni extremists.

Qatar is a supporter for Hamas, and Qatar is in cooperative alignment with the Iranian influence in the region. When Biden released the $6 billion for Iran, it was deposited in a Qatari bank. When the 5 Muslim Brotherhood leaders were released from Gitmo, exchanged for Bowe Bergdahl, they went to Qatar. When Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta sent surface to air missiles into Libya, Qatar organized the transfer.

Within the USA Qatar funds the same groups the USAID (technically the CIA) funds that stir up trouble domestically. Those groups include The Brookings Institute, who in turn fund Lawfare, =specifically the efforts of Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen.== Qatar spends money on issues in/around the USA that are against the interests of our country and President Trump specifically.

 

All of this activity is well documented, none of this is supposition.So, when Steve Witkoff sings the praises of Qatar,it really calls his financial relationships with the Qataris into question{SEE HERE}.

 

Again, remember, the Hamas leaders live a life of affluence and influence from their homes and safe harbor in Qatar.

 

This reality leads directly into a segment on Fox News earlier today when Steve Witkoff now says he was “duped” by Hamasin his negotiations for peace between Israel and Hamas leadership. WATCH:

 

If Steve Witkoff is listening to Qatar and shaping his opinions and perspectives as an outcome of those discussions with the Qatari government, it makes sense Witkoff would be “duped” by Hamas. Ultimately, he would be getting duped by Qatar.

 

Lastly, Witkoff cannot be that gullible not to know that listening to Qatar, advocating for the positions espoused by the Qataris, would put Witkoff on the opposite side of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the voices of Arab leaders who have been dealing with the mess the Qataris always end up creating.

 

The Muslim Brotherhood as a political arm of the extremists in the region, could not exist without the support of Qatar. Heck, Hamas itself could not exist without support from Qatar.

 

This is not to say that Witkoff cannot be effective within the ongoing negotiations around the issue, he certainly can. However, he would need to reorient his thinking toward Qatar and based on the Tucker Carlson interview, that type of self-reflection does not appear present.

 

I hate to call the baby ugly, but being this wrong on a BIG ISSUE ITEM is either a major blind spot for Witkoff or something else entirely. I have spent the past 36 hours trying to figure out how Witkoff could hold these opinions, andthe only thing that makes sense is that Witkoff has some kind of financial relationship with the government of Qatar.

 

Qatar is in a strong relationship with the CIA.

 

The neocons in the USA also take Qatari money.

 

Qatar is bad news; really bad news. It has been this way for a long time.

 

We need to watch this carefully as it unfolds.

Waltz: Trump Administration Seeking ‘Full Dismantlement’ of Iran’s Nuclear Program

National security adviser Mike Waltz said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that President Donald Trump was working towards “full dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program.

 

Partial transcript as follows:

 

MARGARET BRENNAN: Good morning and welcome to “Face the Nation.” There is a lot to cover on the home front, but we begin first on national security. In just a few hours, U.S. officials will be holding talks with Ukraine, and tomorrow a separate round with Russia, in pursuit of a 30 day cease fire. In the meantime, the Trump administration is ramping up the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, sending a second aircraft carrier to the region. We begin this morning with White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Good to have you here.

 

WALTZ: Thanks Margaret.

 

BRENNAN: So the Iran-backed Houthis, they continue to fire at Israel. What has the last week of bombing achieved? And if you’re holding Iran responsible, what’s next?

 

WALTZ: Well, we’ve taken out key Houthi leadership, including their head missileer. We’ve hit their headquarters. We’ve hit communications nodes, weapons factories, and even some of their over the water drone production facilities. Just in the last couple of days, President Trump has decided to hit the Houthis and hit them hard, as opposed to, in the last administration, where literally weeks or months would go by with these kind of one-off, pinprick attacks. And as a result, we’ve had one of the world’s most critical sea lanes get shut down. I mean, these guys are like al Qaeda or ISIS with advanced cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and some of the most sophisticated air defenses, all provided by Iran, Margaret. Just to- so everybody understands the impact here, the last time one of our destroyers went through the straits there, it was attacked 23 times. 75% of our U.S. flag shipping now has to go around the southern coast of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal. And keeping the sea lanes open, keeping trade and commerce open, is a fundamental aspect of our national security. The last administration was not effective. The Trump administration and President Trump have decided to do something much harder, much tougher and much- and what- you know, we’ll see, but I think will be much more effective.

 

BRENNAN: So the president said he’s going to hold Iran responsible as well. Envoy Steve Witkoff said in an interview that Iran had responded to this U.S. outreach via multiple channels. In regard to a letter sent by the president, Witkoff described it as an offer to Iran to “create a verification program so [that] nobody worries about weaponization of [your] nuclear material.” Can you clarify? Is the U.S. seeking the dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program, or verification, like what President Obama put in place back in 2015 and President Trump pulled out of?

 

WALTZ: Full dismantlement. Iran has to give up its program in a way that the entire world can see. And this is- look–

 

BRENNAN: Have they said they’re interested?

 

WALTZ: –as President- as President Trump has said, this is coming to a head. All options are on the table, and it is time for Iran to walk away completely from its desire to have a nuclear- nuclear weapon. That- and they will not, and cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapons program.

 

(BEGIN CROSSTALK)

 

BRENNAN: Have they responded —

 

WALTZ: That’s enrichment–

 

BRENNAN: –to the president’s call for peace talks?

 

(END CROSSTALK)

 

WALTZ: That is weaponization, and that its- its strategic missile program. Can you only imagine? We’ve seen the death and destruction that they’re doing through its proxies, between Hezbollah, the Assad regime, the Houthis, and what have you. If they had nuclear weapons, the entire Middle East would explode in an arms race. That is completely unacceptable to our national security. I won’t get into what the back and forth has been, but Iran is in the worst place it has been, from its own national security, since 1979, thanks to Hezbollah, Hamas, the Assad regime, and its own air defenses being taken out by the Israelis.

 

BRENNAN: So there’s still a chance for diplomacy? I know you won’t get into- okay.

 

WALTZ: Well, of course, I mean, the President has all options on the table. But we want to be clear, this isn’t some kind of, you know, kind of tit for tat that we had under the Obama administration, or Biden. This is the full program. Give it up, or there will be consequences.

Rolls-Royce Planning to Shift Production to United States to Avoid Trump Tariffs: Report

Kurt Zindulka23 Mar 2025

 

British engineeringgiant Rolls-Royce is reportedly preparing to increase manufacturing production in the United States to avoid tariffsimposed by President Donald Trump.

 

London’s Daily Telegraph reported that Rolls-Royce is currently drafting contingency plans to avoid the impact of trade restrictions imposed by the Trump administration. The plans are said to include ramping up production in America and hiring more workers in the United States.

 

According to the report, the aerospace and defence company is considering shifting production from countries impacted by the trade war, such as China, Canada, and Mexico, where it currently has around 6,000 workers.

 

A source told the British broadsheet, “If you are making something in countries like China, then you’ll be looking at whether you can do it in the US instead.”

 

Additionally, Rolls is also considering potentially shifting production from the UK and Europe should tariffs threaten its manufacturing sites in the regions.

 

In a message to shareholders, the firm said that trade restrictions “could lead to increased costs and consequently realign the global supply chain”.

 

“Market exposures are being monitored, and we are adapting supply chain strategies to ensure resilience amid potential protectionist measures and evolving trade dynamics.”

 

The United States is a critical market for the British firm, accounting for around a third of its global turnover. Top buyers include the U.S. Department of Defence, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin.

 

Last year, Rolls took in £5.94 ($7.67) billion from its North American operations, compared to £2.6 ($3.36) billion from the United Kingdom and £6.5 ($8.4) billion throughout Europe.

 

Therefore, it may be advantageous for the company to shift production to the United States amid President Donald Trump’s efforts to rebalance global trade to bring back manufacturing to America.

 

A Rolls-Royce spokesman said: “We have additional capacity within some of our U.S. operations and continuously seek to explore options to ensure that our global internal supply chain is optimised for delivery to customers in the U.S.”

 

The report comes ahead of what President Trump has dubbed “Liberation Day” on April 2, when “fair and reciprocal” tariffs will be enacted.

 

“We’re getting back to some of the wealth that very, very foolish presidents gave away because they had no clue what they were doing,” he said last week.

 

The Trump White House’s trade actions have already borne some fruit, with major firms such as Apple, Oracle, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) already announcing billions in investments in manufacturing projections in the United States.

 

There have also been reports that major car manufacturers, including Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Audi, are looking at moving production to the U.S. to avoid the impact of tariffs.

 

(Our President Trump Is Brilliant, all of this is to have European countries to cut their tariffsAnd their companies agree with Trump)

Gallup Poll: Majority of Gazans Would Relocate if Allowed

Joshua Klein23 Mar 2025

 

A majority of Palestinians would leave the Gaza strip if they were able to, according to a Gallup poll of the coastal enclave’s residents, which found that 52 percent would leave either temporarily or permanently if given the chance.

 

The findings, which were reported in the British Telegraph on Saturday based on data collected by Gallup from more than 500 Gaza residents between March 2 and 13, revealed a striking 52 percent of Gazans expressed a desire to relocate, with 14 percent saying they would leave permanently and 38 percent seeking temporary refuge abroad.

 

Only 39 percent said they have no intention of leaving the war-torn enclave.

 

Germany emerged as the most desired destination, followed closely by Egypt, Qatar, and the UAE — countries that already host significant Palestinian populations.

 

The poll found younger residents, especially those in devastated areas such as Khan Younis and Gaza City, most eager to leave.

 

The matter comes as Israel remains locked in conflict with Hamas following the October 7, 2023, massacre — the worst terrorist attack in Israel’s history, which saw thousands of terrorists burst into Israel and gun down participants at an outdoor music festival while going door to door hunting for Jewish men, women, and children in local towns who were then subject to torture, rape, execution, immolation, and kidnapping.

 

President Trump unveiled his vision for Gaza during a press conference in February with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His plan calls for resettling Gaza’s population and rebuilding the strip into a thriving economic hub, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy and setting the stage for a bold new strategy in the Middle East.

 

Israel has since announced a new department to oversee the voluntary relocation of Gaza residents to third countries, a move ordered by Defense Minister Israel Katz. The plan aligns with Trump’s approach, emphasizing regional solutions over past failed policies.

 

“I welcome President Trump’s bold initiative,” Katz stated, calling it an opportunity for Gaza residents to seek a better future while ensuring Israel’s security.

 

According to a recent report from the Jerusalem Post, Israel plans to use its renewed ground offensive to advance the migration plan from Gaza, as Hamas remains “unwilling to compromise” in hostage talks.

 

Breitbart News reported that PresidentTrump’s plan to rebuild Gaza by resettling its citizens has significant support among many Gazans and is the “only solution” for struggling civilians, according to the Center for Peace Communications, which is fighting for Gazans to be given a chance to leave the war-torn enclave “to find a better life” for themselves and their families “before it’s too late.”

 

WATCH: (https://youtu.be/Tta2rkmpRH0

 

The growing movement of Gazans speaking out comes as critics and mainstream media label President Trump’s plan unethical, while overlooking the real humanitarian crisis —Gazans who want to leave but remain trapped under Hamas rule.

 

For U.S. interests, a potential outflow from Gaza could ease military tensions, reduce the influence of Hamas, and shift the regional burden of humanitarian care to wealthier Arab states and Western allies. It may also open new avenues for cooperation with Israel, Egypt, and the Gulf states on long-term stabilization.
