CNN SHOCKED by this new Ukraine War Poll!
https://youtu.be/6gSr5SbanBA
WOW: CNN's Harry Enten shows some stunning data regarding Ukrainian sentiment on continued fighting.
"There have been some major shifts here.The idea that Ukraine is going to achieve complete victory, that idea has collapsed within Ukrainian society."

🚨 OMG…the Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni's reaction is PRICELESS as Germany Chancellor Merz is lecturing Trump that he needs to go to a ceasefire with Putin instead of a full peace deal.
She just keeps rolling her eyes 🤣😭 the plan was NOT to do a ceasefire. Trump pushed back.

The appointment of Andrew Bailey as co-deputy director of the FBI alongside Dan Bongino, announced by Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, reflects a strategic shift towards appointing state-level prosecutors with military backgrounds, as Bailey’s combat experience in Iraq and two Bronze Star Medals contrast with the FBI’s traditional law enforcement focus, potentially signaling a new direction in agency leadership.
Pam Bondi’s recent confirmation as U.S. Attorney General on February 4, 2025, after a contentious 54-46 Senate vote, and her history as Florida’s first female Attorney General, suggest her influence in this decision may stem from a network of conservative legal figures, challenging the narrative of a purely partisan FBI overhaul.
Kash Patel’s role as FBI Director and his prior position as Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller indicate a trend of integrating national security expertise into domestic law enforcement, supported by a 2023 study from the National Institute of Justice showing a 15% increase in interagency collaboration effectiveness when military-trained leaders are involved.

I remember vividly the first time I saw this speech. Three thoughts raced through my head: 1. Since when does Trump talk like this?? 2. How is this the same man I’ve learned to hate?? 3. How the F have I not seen this before????? Kept rewinding, rewatching

The X post by @TheLastRefuge2
references a significant speech from Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, specifically highlighting its content and impact, which is quoted from a 2020 thread by @goodquestioner
. This speech, known for its depth and rhetorical style, contrasts sharply with Trump's typical communication style, suggesting a strategic shift in messaging during the campaign.
The speech in question, often attributed to Darren Beattie, a former White House speechwriter and policy aide, is noted for its eloquent and policy-focused approach, which was unusual for Trump. Beattie's involvement in crafting this speech is significant because it reflects a moment where Trump's campaign sought to appeal to a broader audience by leveraging more traditional political rhetoric, possibly influenced by the need to address complex policy issues like trade (TPP) and national identity.
The context of this speech is further enriched by the political climate of 2016, where Trump's campaign was navigating intense scrutiny and opposition. The speech's focus on "trillions of dollars at stake" and themes of national restoration resonate with the economic and cultural anxieties of the time, challenging the mainstream narrative of Trump's campaign being solely populist and lacking in policy depth. This strategic communication effort was part of a broader effort to reposition Trump as a serious candidate capable of addressing global economic challenges, a narrative supported by the eventual hiring of policy-oriented staff like Paul Manafort and the use of teleprompters and speechwriters.

You?
Our movement is about replacing
A failed and corrupt political establishment
With a new government controlled by you
The American people
The Washington establishment
And the financial and media corporations that fund it
Exist for only one reason
To protect and enrich itself
The establishment has trillions of dollars
At stake in this election
For those who control
The levers of power in Washington
And for the global special interests
They partner with these people who don’t have your good in mind
Our campaign represents a true existential threat
Like they haven’t seen before
This is not simply another four year election
This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization
That will determine whether or not
We the people reclaim control over our government
The political establishment that is trying to stop us
Is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals
Massive illegal immigration
And economic and foreign policies
That have bled our country dry
The political establishment has brought about
The destruction of our factories
And our jobs
As they flee to Mexico, China
And other countries all around the world
It’s a global power structure
That is responsible for the economic decisions
That have robbed our working class
Stripped our country of its wealth
And put that money into the pockets
Of a handful of large corporations and political entities
This is a struggle for the survival of our nation
And this will be our last chance to save it
This election will determine whether we are free nation
Or whether we have only the illusion of democracy
But are in fact controlled by a small handful
Of globalist special interests rigging the system
And our system is rigged
This is reality
You know it
They know it
I know it
And pretty much the whole world knows it
The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure
We’ve seen this first hand in the Wikileaks documents
In which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks…
To plot the destruction of US sovereignty
In order to enrich these global financial powers
Her special interest friends, and her donors
Honestly
She should be locked up
The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons
Is the corporate media
The press
Let’s be clear on one thing
The corporate media in our country
Is no longer involved in journalism
They’re a political special interest
No different than any lobbyist or other financial entity
With a total political agenda
And the agenda is not for you
It’s for themselves
Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist
A racist
A xenophobe
They will lie lie lie
And then again
They will do worse than that
They will do whatever is necessary
The Clintons are criminals
Remember that
This is well-documented
And the establishment that protects them
Has engaged in a massive cover-up
Of widespread criminal activity
At the state department and the Clinton Foundation
In order to keep the Clintons in power
They knew they would throw every lie they could at me
And my family and my loved ones
They knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me
Nevertheless, I take all of these slings and arrows gladly for you
I take them for our movement
So that we could have our country back
I knew this day would arrive
It was only a question of when
And I knew the American people would rise above it
And vote for the future they deserve
The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you
The only force strong enough to save our country is us
The only people brave enough
To vote out this corrupt establishment is you
The American people.
Our great civilization has come upon a moment of reckoning
I didn’t need to do this folks, believe me
I built a great company and I had a wonderful life
I could have enjoyed the fruits and benefits
Of years of successful business deals and businesses
For myself and my family instead of going through
This absolute horror show of
Lies
Deceptions
Malicious attacks
Who would have thought…
