Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğa spotted clamping down on French President Emmanuel Macron's finger.

 

The incident took place at the European Political Community summit in Albania yesterday.

 

Turkish media is claiming that Macron was attempting to "establish psychological superiority."

 

"The point is that Macron tried to establish psychological superiority by putting his hand on President Erdoğan's shoulder,but Erdoğan did not allow it, he held his finger tightly and did not let go," Turkish media claimed.

Sunday Talks – Secretary of State Rubio Discusses Ongoing Russia Negotiations and Geopolitical Events– Video and Transcript

 

May 18, 2025 | Sundance |

Rubio Outlines Ongoing CIA Attacks Against Trump Administration!

 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears on CBS Face the Nation to discuss on going geopolitical events. In addition to the discussion and outline of the ongoing talks with Russian officials, Secretary Rubio makes an interesting point about Tren de Aragua and an intelligence assessment made by the CIA sub-silo, the National Intelligence Council.

 

You might remember the recent report about DNI Tulsi Gabbard taking the National Intelligence Council out of the CIA parent silo and replacing both heads of the agency. I think Secretary Rubio just outlined why Director Gabbard made that decision. It appears the CIA-NIC was weaponizing the intelligence against the President Trump administration. WATCH BELOW and see it.

W.H.O. Cries Poor as It Faces ‘Existential Crisis’ After U.S. Funding Cuts

Simon Kent19 May 2025

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) began its annual nine-day meeting Monday on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland, with upwards of eight thousand attendees flying in for the event from all around the world.The elites gathered as the United Nations subsidiary began crying poor and publicly doubting its ability to ever again meet crises like the coronavirus epidemic after U.S. funding cuts struck at the heart of its finances.(The WHO along with the UN’s goal was to destroy America and the Trump populist movement. Plus they plan pandemics to control every country WW, they are not a health org they are a political org for world domination, that’s why you have so many countries supporting it)

 

AP reports Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has been grappling with aresponse to the U.S. cuts as well as reduced outlays from other traditional Western donors who are favoring defense over humanitarian aid.(just another USAID scam)

 

President Donald Trump confirmed the U.S. was exiting the agency on the first day of his return to office in January.

 

Matthew Kavanagh, the director of Georgetown University’s center for Global Health Policy and Politics,said other countries have used the “U.S. disruption” — the cut in aid — “as cover to do their maneuvering, with many countries in Europe reducing aid.”

 

“The WHO faces an existential crisis that goes well beyond a budget gap to the question of whether this sort of multilateralism can succeed in addressing global health in this new era of nationalism and misinformation,” he said, the AP reported.

 

It is also grappling with countries questioning the W.H.O. and the efficacy of its response to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

In the run-up to the assembly, W.H.O. has been slashing cutting costs.Its management has presented a budget for the next two years at just under $4.3 billion, which is 22 percent less than originally planned— largely in response to Western funding cuts, the AP report notes.

 

A former Ethiopian health and foreign minister, Tedros announced a shake-up of top management that included the exit of key adviser Dr. Michael Ryan from the job as emergencies chief.

 

As Breitbart News reported, as the coronavirus pandemic first began picking up speed in 2020,Ryan indicate during a press conference that individuals infected with the Chinese virus should be removed from their homes and families to prevent further spread of the deadly disease.

 

He spoke in the wake of the W.H.O. clearing China free of responsibility for the deadly outbreak.

 

Tedros previously mourned the loss of U.S. funds and other assistance have left the W.H.O. with a salary gap of more than $500 million.

 

W.H.O. is “confident” it has commitments for 60 percent of funds for the next two-year budget cycle,but it faces a budget gap of $1.7 billion.(kill the WHO that kills millions around the world.)

Trump’s tariff onslaught casts shadow over European economy, even in best case scenario

AP19 May 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff offensive has led European officials to cut their growth forecasts for this year and next, even in a best-case scenario in which the highest rates on most goods could be negotiated away

 

Trump’s tariff onslaught casts shadow over European economy, even in best case scenario.

 

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff offensive has led European officials to cut their growth forecasts for this year and next — even in a best-case scenario in which the highest rates on most goods could be negotiated away.

 

The forecast for this year for the 20 countries that use the euro currency was cut to 0.9% from the previous forecast in November of 1.3%, the European Union’s executive commission said Monday in its regular spring forecast.

 

The forecast for 2026 was cut to 1.4% from 1.6%.

 

One reason for the lower growth estimate was the stagnating economy in Germany, where growth is expected to be zero this year after two years of shrinking output. Germany’s economy is heavily dependent on exports but has faced strong headwinds from higher energy costs after the loss of Russian natural gas due to the invasion of Ukraine as well from lack of pro-growth infrastructure spending and competition from China in autos and industrial machinery.

 

The proposal for a 20% U.S. tariff, or import tax, on goods from Europe in addition to its suspension for 90 days have meant uncertainty “not seen since the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Economy Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis.

 

He said the European economy remained “resilient” and that the jobs market remained robust, with the commission predicting a fall in unemployment to a record low 5.7% next year.

 

And the risks are “tilted to the downside,” he said. One reason: The forecast assumes that the proposed 20% rate can be reduced through negotiations with Washington to the base tariff rate imposed on all countries of 10%.

 

While the EU’s top trade official, Maros Sefcovic, has spoken several times with administration officials it remains uncertain how willing Trump might be to reduce the rate. European officials have paused any retaliatory tariffs for 90 days and made a “zero for zero” offer in which each side would drop tariffs on industrial goods such as autos.

 

The forecast assumed that 25% tariffs on steel and autos from all countries will remain in place, as would exemptions on computer chips and pharmaceuticals.

 

The eurozone economy grew 0.3% in the first three months of the year, amid hopeful signs of a stronger upswing. But the mood was darkened just two days after the first quarter ended, when Trump on April 2 announced a slew of new, higher than expected tariffs on almost all US trading partners.

 

(Europe deserves whatever pain they receive! Trump warned them 9 years ago they didn’t listen or change.)

Portuguese Populists Score Best Result Ever amid Mass Migration Backlash

Simon Kent19 May 2025

 

Portugal’s populist anti-immigration Chega Party has scored its best ever election result with arecord vote share confirmed Monday that marked the end of the country’s two-party dominance.

 

Chega recorded the voting triumph in Portugal’s just-concluded snap parliamentary elections – the third in as many years.

 

The BBC reports Chega leader André Ventura said the “historic” result marked the end of two-party dominance in Portugalas voters moved to reject mass immigration plans touted by the current government.

 

Ventura’s campaignhad focussed on the issues of immigration and corruption, and Chega was helped by the fact this election and the previous one were both triggered by scandals involving the prime minister of the day.

 

Socialist leader Pedro Nuno Santos announced his resignation after his party finished in second and lost so many seats it ended up neck-and-neck with Chega.

 

Portugal’s governing Democratic Alliance (AD) won but fell short of an overall majority.

 

The final results showed the AD coalition won with 32 percent of the vote, followed by the Socialist Party at 23 percent.The Chega party comes in third with 22.56 percent.=

 

The tie between Chega and the Socialists could still be broken when votes from overseas are counted.

 

“The system has been shaken,” said Chega lawmaker Pedro Pinto, Politico reports. “And we represent a governing alternative.”

 

Portugal has been caught up in the rising European tide of populism with Chega surging into third place in last year’s election and repeating that triumph again.

 

The government, led by theSocial Democratsin an alliance with a smaller party, fellamid a controversy centred on potential conflicts of interest in the business dealings of Prime Minister Luís Montenegro’s family law firm.

 

Montenegro, who has ruled out any deal with Chega, said he hoped to form a minority government.

 

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/05/19/portuguese-populists-score-best-result-ever-amid-mass-migration-backlash/

 

AfD in Germany won as much, the populist movement is catching on and will destroy the corruption in the EU and Europe.

Starmer Doubles Down on Tough Migration Talk, But Set for ‘Brexit Reset’ to Increase EU ‘Youth Mobility’

Kurt Zindulka19 May 2025

UK Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer continued his hardline rhetoric on migration over the weekend, admitting that the country has become “addicted to cheap” migrant workers to the detriment of young Britons.Yet the PM is reportedly on the cusp of a deal to open up more youth migration from the EU to Britain.

 

Despite the fervent backlash from the open borders wing of his left-wing Labour Party base, Prime Minister Starmer has doubled down on his tough talk on immigrationas he seeks to fend off the rising popularity of Nigel Farage’s populist Reform UK party.

 

Taking to social media on Saturday, the PM said: “For too long, Britain has been addicted to cheap overseas labour — while 1 in 8 of our own young people aren’t in education, employment or training.

 

“I’m putting our young people first, investing in skills they need and ending our dependence on foreign labour.”

 

“If you work here illegally or employ people who do, we’re coming for you. Illegal working raids are up 40%. And we won’t stop there,” Starmer added on Sunday.

 

=The comments come after the left-wing leader drew the ire of progressives in the establishment media and backbenchers of his own party, who accused Starmer of supposedly playing into the hands of the so-called “far-right”by admitting that mass migration has failed to deliver on its key promise of producing economic benefits to Britons and risked turning the nation into an “island of strangers” if continued.

 

However, though this marked a significant rhetorical change, undercutting the decades-long establishment narrative,Starmer’s government has faced accusations of only pursuing half measures to confront the issue.

 

Indeed, Labour’s “white paper” on immigration merely said that numbers could drop by 100,000 by the end of the decade,likely meaning that millions more foreigners will be imported into the country under his watch. Gross immigration has soared to over a million following the ‘Boris wave’ post-Brexit liberalisation of immigration under the so-called Conservatives, so a reduction of 100,000 from such an unusually high level will not make a meaningful difference to the forces of change on the British population.

 

Despite vowing to put “our young people first” on Saturday, Starmer is also reportedly set to bring Britain back into the EU’s “youth mobility scheme” as part of his so-called “Brexit reset” with the bloc. The scheme would allow EU migrants between the ages of 18 and 30 to stay in the UK for up to three years.

 

While the government is reportedly seeking to put an annual cap on the number of those allowed in,critics have warned that it will merely exacerbate the issues of young Britons, who have faced particular struggles getting on the property ladder amid the migrant-exacerbated housing crisis.

 

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “This scheme could open the floodgates to tens of thousands or more flooding into the country, including people who recently entered Europe illegally and then got citizenship.”

 

“Last week, Starmer said he wanted to clamp down on immigration, but he’s now on the verge of throwing open the doors. He is a disingenuous charlatan when it comes to our border security.”

 

Meanwhile, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, whose party has soared to the top of the polls amid growing anger over the government’s failures to crack down on immigration, has vowed to scrap Starmer’s EU “reset” if he is elected as the next prime minister.

 

“The whole thing is an abject surrender from Starmer and politically, something he will come to regret,” he toldThe Telegraph.

“A Reform government would undo all of this with legislation. We’d tell the EU that any agreements are no longer legally bindingon the UK, because a general election has said so. ==That’s what Brexit was all about. It was about us governing ourselves, well or badly.”=

 

(The leaders regret leaving the EU, so they are trying a secret do over.)

Peaceful solutions preferred for Ukraine conflict goals – Kremlin

Moscow values Washington’s mediation efforts in the settlement of the conflict, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Russia remains open to achieving its goals in the Ukraine conflict through peaceful means, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

 

Peskov, speaking before President Vladimir Putin’s scheduled phone call with his US counterpart, Donald Trump,expressed appreciation for Washington’s mediation efforts, noting that “if it really helps us achieve our goals by peaceful means, that would certainly be preferable.”

 

He also recalled that Putin’s 2021 proposal to address Russian security concerns over NATO expansion was rejected by the US-led alliance and then-President Joe Biden’s administration.

 

Moscow’s stated objectives include keeping Ukraine out of NATO, ending Kiev’s policies that it considers discriminatory against ethnic Russians, and curbing the influence of extreme Ukrainian nationalist groups.

 

In a recent interview, Putin said Moscow wants to “eliminate the causes of this crisis, create conditions for long-term sustainable peace and ensure the security of the Russian state and the interests of our people” in former Ukrainian territories where people voted to join Russia following the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev.

 

Last week, Russian and Ukrainian representatives held their first direct talks since 2022, when Kiev backed out of a proposed peace deal that had been agreed in principle by both sides in Istanbul. The U-turn was influenced by the then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, according to Ukraine’s lead negotiator David Arakhamia.

 

The latest round of Istanbul negotiations has led to a proposal for the largest prisoner exchange between the two countriesand a pledge to continue dialogue.

 

Trump has claimed that he alone can broker peace between Russia and Ukraine and suggested that a breakthrough could come as early as this week, following his conversation with Putin.

Kremlin reveals timing for Putin-Trump call

 

The conversation is scheduled for 5pm Moscow time and will be based on the results of recent talks in Istanbul, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a phone call with his US counterpart, Donald Trump,at 5pm Moscow time (2pm GMT) on Monday, the Kremlin has confirmed.

 

The upcoming conversation was initially announced by Trump on Saturday. He said the discussion would focus on “stopping the ‘bloodbath’” between Russia and Ukraine, along with trade issues. He also noted plans to speak with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky and NATO leaders afterward, expressing hope that a “productive day” would lead to a ceasefire.

 

Speaking to reporters ahead of the highly anticipated call,Peskov described talks with Trump as “important” in light of the recent Turkish-mediated meeting between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul – their first direct peace talks since 2022.

 

During the meeting, both sides exchanged lists of conditions for a potential ceasefire, agreed to a large-scale prisoner exchange, and discussed the possibility of a follow-up round of talks.Moscow also did not rule out direct talks between Putin and Zelenskyif the peace efforts result in progress and firm agreements.

 

“Regarding [the Istanbul] talks, we’ve already made our positions clear, now we await the results of the dialogue,” the spokesman said.

 

Peskov reaffirmed Moscow’s willingness to engage with the US in its mediating role. “We highly value the United States’ mediating efforts– if they truly help us achieve our objectives by peaceful means,” he told reporters, stressing that Moscow seesthe diplomatic path as “preferable.

 

Asked about the prospect of a future summit between Putin and Trump, Peskov said the potential meeting and its timing “depend on what they themselves decide.” He stressed that any such talks must be “well-prepared” in order to be “result-oriented.”

 

Meanwhile, the Washington Post has reported, citing a US official familiar with the matter, thatZelensky and his top aides are concerned that the Trump-Putin phone call could “deliver a fait accompli that Ukraine can’t accept,” with the Ukrainian leader meeting Vice President J.D. Vance to prevent that from happening.

 

=Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy and a key figure in Ukraine peace process, has expressed hope that the call would be “very successful”and could help clear “some of the logjam” in the talks.==

Trump envoy believes Putin call will be ‘a success’

Steve Witkoff says the first direct Russian-Ukrainian talks in three years were an important step to peace

 

US President Donald Trump’s upcoming phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be “very successful” and could help clear “some of the logjam” in peace negotiations over Ukraine, American special envoy Steve Witkoff has said.

 

Trump announced that he will speak with Putin on Monday, several days after Russia and Ukraine held their first direct negotiations in three years. During the talks in Istanbul on Friday, the sides agreed on a major prisoner exchange and to continue dialogue after each submits a detailed ceasefire proposal.

 

Witkoff hailed the talks in Türkiye as “good achievements,” and reaffirmed that Trump would like to broker a stable ceasefire followed by a “final peace deal.”

 

“I believe that the president is going to have a very successful call with Vladimir Putin,” Witkoff told ABC’s This Week on Sunday. “They know each other. The president is determined to get something done here… If he can’t do it, then nobody can.”

 

Asked whether Moscow’s terms were too harsh, Witkoff said the conflict was “very complicated”and that the sides must find compromises.

 

“I think in a negotiation like this, people take positions,” he said.“The art here is to narrow that wide berth. And I think to some extent we’ve done that. Monday will go a long way towards identifying where we are and how we complete this negotiation.”

 

Trump also expressed hope that Monday will be a “productive day.” He added that he plans to speak with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and “various members of NATO” after his call with Putin. At the same time, he warned that Moscow could face “crushing sanctions” if no progress is made, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Washington is determined to avoid “endless talks” without results.

 

Moscow has rejected demands for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, insisting that talks must address the “root causes” of the conflict, including Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO – which Russia considers a threat to its national security.

 

Putin has maintained thata lasting truce would require Ukraine to halt its mobilization drive, stop receiving weapons from abroad, and withdraw troops from Russian territory. He warned that Kiev would likely use a temporary ceasefire to rearm and regroup.

Moscow has described the upcoming conversation between the two presidents as “important,” with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating the call will be based on the results of the recent Turkish-mediated meeting between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul.

19 May 2025

15:28 GMT

The phone conversation between the two presidents is still going on, the New York Times has reported, citing White House officials.

 

15:20 GMT

During the call, Trump could potentially offer Putin unspecified “economic benefits” and the restoration of ties between Russia and the “rest of the world,” US Vice President J.D. Vance has said.

 

“The proposal from the United States has always been: Look, there are a lot of economic benefits to thawing relations between Russia and the rest of the world, but you’re not going to get those benefits if you keep on killing a lot of innocent people,” Vance stated.

 

14:44 GMT

The conversation between Trump and Putin has begun, US media have reported, citing White House sources.

 

14:40 GMT

Trump has grown “weary and frustrated” with both Moscow and Kiev and is seeking to bring the hostilities to an end as soon as possible, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said.

 

“He has made it clear to both sides that he wants to see a peaceful resolution and ceasefire as soon as possible,” Leavitt told reporters during a press briefing shortly ahead of the scheduled call between Trump and Putin.

 

14:26 GMT

Moscow is prepared for “painstaking” and potentially “lengthy” efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. He was commenting on remarks by US President Donald Trump, who appeared to express frustration with the ongoing low-level negotiations.

 

“There is quite painstaking and, perhaps, in some areas, lengthy work ahead on the settlement, connected with a large number of nuances that need to be discussed. The Russian side is ready for this work,” Peskov has stated.

 

14:07 GMT

If Russia is not “willing to engage” to end the Ukraine conflict, “eventually, the US has to say this is not our war,” US Vice President J.D. Vance has warned. He claimed that the Russian leadership “does not seem to know” how to get out of the hostilities.

 

“We realize there’s a bit of an impasse here,”Vance told reporters on Monday.

 

14:02 GMT

Donald Trump is reportedly considering a new sanctions bill targeting Russia if no progress is made on ceasefire talks with Ukraine, Bloomberg reported ahead of the phone call with Putin, citing unnamed European officials.

 

Trump could deliver the warning to the Russian president during their conversation, US officials privately told their European counterparts, according to the outlet.

Poland heads to runoff in tight presidential race

Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski is narrowly leading his conservative rival, according to a poll released after voting concluded

 

Poland’s presidential election is set for a runoff, with Rafal Trzaskowski narrowly leading rival Karol Nawrocki in the first round of Sunday’s vote, according to exit polls.

 

=•Right-wing candidates collectively secured a majority in the first round, signaling a potential shift in the nation’s political landscape.==

 

According to an Ipsos exit poll, WarsawMayor Trzaskowski, representing the pro-European Civic Coalition, led with 31.1% of the vote.

 

Conservative historian Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice (PiS) party,followed closely with 29.7%.

 

Right-wing candidates Slawomir Mentzen and Grzegorz Braun garnered 15.4% and 6.2% respectively,bringing the total right-leaning vote share to around 51.3%.

 

Mentzen, the leader of the right-wing New Hope party,is known for his criticism of the EU, opposition to immigration, and support for low taxes and limited government intervention. His platform emphasizes national sovereignty and conservative social values.

 

The runoff will be held on June 1, and the new president will take office in August.

 

Trzaskowski, who narrowly lost the last presidential election to incumbent President Andrzej Duda five years ago, has pledged to support government reforms, including reversing PiS-era judicial changes. He has also advocated for increased defense spending and continued support for Ukraine.

 

He is seen as the most pro-Ukraine contender, though he has pledged to cut social benefits to Ukrainian nationals. His main rival, Nawrocki, also supports military aid to Ukraine; however, he opposes NATO and EU membership until Ukraine addresses historical issues, particularly the exhumation and acknowledgment of Polish victims of the Volyn massacres during World War II. He has also called for prioritizing Polish citizens in public services.

 

His campaign gained momentum following a meeting with US President Donald Trump, who reportedly told him, “You will win.” Right-wing sentiment is growing across the EU, as evidenced by recent electoral gains and shifting political dynamics in several member states.

Biden Pardon Probe Will Include Autopen Subpoenas, Pledges Top Republican. PULSE POINTS:

 

❓What Happened: Pardon Attorney Ed Martin confirmed an investigation into Joe Biden’s end-of-term pardons, including those for Hunter Biden and Liz Cheney, amid claims they were signed with an autopen while Biden was mentally unfit.

 

👥Who’s Involved: Ed Martin, President Donald J. Trump, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, and former President Joe Biden.

 

📍 Where & When: Washington, D.C., with Martin’s announcement on May 19, 2025.

 

💬 Key Quote: “The integrity of the American Pardon system requires that we examine the Biden pardons and who did what,” Ed Martin stated.

 

⚠️ Impact: Trump’s DOJ, led by Martin, is exposing potential abuses in Biden’s pardons, reinforcing America First accountabilitywhile uncovering who truly ran the White House during Biden’s decline.

 

IN FULL: Newly appointed Pardon Attorney Ed Martin has confirmed that pardons issued by former President Joe Biden at the end of his term are being investigated.

 

“The integrity of the American Pardon system requires that we examine the Biden pardons and who did what,” he said of the pardons, issued to controversial figures including Biden’s son, Hunter, and members of the January 6 Committee, such as Liz Cheney.

 

We will get to the bottom of it. Count on us,” Martin vowed.

 

A prominent America First voice, Martin initially served President Donald J. Trump as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia but could not continue after Republican-in-name-only Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) blocked his confirmation. President Trump has now appointed him as Pardon Attorney and leader of a Weaponization Working Group in the Department of Justice instead.

 

Martin’s confirmation of an investigation into Biden’s pardons comes as James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, says evidence has been uncovered that,“[W]hat we’ve found is, not just with the pardons he issued, but many of the executive orders that the courts are now using to Trump-proof many of the executive orders that President Trumpis trying to implement to make government more efficient…these were all signed with the autopen.”

 

“Joe Biden wasn’t capable of making decisions; he wasn’t coherent,” Comer said of the period when these pardons and executive orders were signed. “We think we’ve identified who the staffers are… We’re going to bring everyone that we believe was involved in any role in the use of the autopen. We’re going to invite them to come in for a transcribed interview; if they won’t, then they will receive a subpoena and they will have a full-blown deposition—but we want to find out who was actually making the decisions in the White House during the last nine monthsof the Biden administration when he was clearly in decline.”

 

President Trump has also argued that Biden’s autopen pardons should be considered “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT,” suggesting his predecessor “did not know anything about them!

 

”Further questions over Biden’s mental and physical health were raised over the weekend, when it was revealed he is suffering from “aggressive” prostate cancer, likely present during a significant portion of his time in office.
