Putin and Erdogan hold call on Ukraine conflict – Kremlin

The two presidents have discussed a US-drafted peace proposal in a phone conversation, according to Moscow

Russian President VladimirPutin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, have agreed to intensify contacts between the two countries’ diplomats on settling the Ukraine conflict, the Kremlin said on Monday following a phone conversation between the two leaders.

Putin and Erdogan discussed a recently leaked US-drafted proposal on resolving the ongoing hostilities. Washington presented the plan to both Moscow and Kiev earlier this month.The details were not officially made public, but media reports indicated that it included de facto recognition of Crimea and Donbass as Russian, as well as a cap of 600,000 personnel on the Ukrainian military and a requirement for Kiev to stay out of NATO.

Putin has confirmed that Moscow received the plan but said it has yet to be discussed “in detail.” Speaking to Erdogan on Monday, the Russian president saidthe proposals were consistent with the understandings reached during the Alaska summit in August, and that the initiative could serve as the basis for a potential peace agreement.

Moscow is interested in resolving the Ukraine conflict through political and diplomatic means, the Russian president stated.

Erdogan reaffirmed Ankara’s readiness to help Russia and Ukraine reach a “just and lasting peace.”

The Turkish city of Istanbul served as a venue for three rounds of talks between Moscow and Kiev earlier this year, yielding some progress on humanitarian issues, including POW exchanges. Putin also said in September that Turkish mediation in the Ukraine conflict continues to be valued and would be desirable in the future.

The phone call occurred while US officials were discussing Washington’s peace proposals with the EU and Ukrainian representatives in Geneva. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said afterward that a “tremendous amount of progress” had been made on the plan but “there is still some work to be done.”

WANTED: One VERY tolerant Lady! Picky aristocrat, 79, launches bid to find a wife. Eskimos, Scorpios, the poor, the short, Guardian readers, Scots and anyone who can't fly a helicopter needn't apply

21:01 EST 23 Nov 2025,

Truly KEK

A controversial aristocrat has launched an appeal to find a bride -and says he'll pay her £50,000-a-year to give him male heirs and help run his sprawling 1,300-acre Somerset estate.

But despite edging ever closer to his eighties, Sir Benjamin Slade, 79, isn't ready to settle for second best and has drawn up a long list of qualities he's looking for in a wife.

The first cut-off point for interested applicantsis age, as the next Lady Slade must be at least 20 years younger - meaning women in their 60s need not apply.

Sir Benjamin says he is after a 'good breeder' to provide him with at least two male heirs, although explains that having already birthed a child is not a dealbreaker.

He added: 'I can have two sons, three would be better, but if I get two sons that saves the situation.

'You always have a lady of the house, women run houses. People think that it is sexist.Jane Austen said if you got a big house, you need a wife.

'The ladies run the house. They run the staff, they have an eye for it.'

However, the aristocrat also has some very specific stipulations,including that his new wife must be taller than 5ft 6ins and can't be a Scorpio or read the Guardian newspaper.

And far from wanting a shrinking violet, the nobleman saysthe woman who wins his heart must have a shotgun and driving licence - while a helicopter licence 'would be beneficial'.

When it comes to hobbies Sir Benjamin is seeking a bride wholoves ballroom dancing, playing bridge and backgammon - and has a flair for administration.

She mustbe able to run two castlesand having estate, legal and accountancy training 'would be useful'.

The candidate would be paid £50,000plus a bonus per year and this includes a car, house, expenses, food and holidays.

Sir Benjamin, a baronet descended from Charles IIsays she can't come from countries beginning with 'I' that have green in their flag, which rules out residents of Ireland, India, Italy, Ivory Coast and Iran.

He said: =•'I don't mind Canadians, Americans, Germans and Northern Europeans - what I like to call similar people. I don't think marrying an Eskimo is for me.==

'What I just need is a nice, ordinary country girl who knows and understands things.

==Fed’s Daly Backs December Rate Cut, Citing Vulnerable Labor Market

Views of San Francisco Fed president are significant because she has rarely deviated publicly from the position of Chair Jerome Powell==

San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly ••said she supports lowering interest rates at the central bank’s meeting next month because she sees a sudden deterioration in the job market== as both more likely and harder to manage than an inflation flare-up.

“On the labor market, I don’t feel as confident we can get ahead of it,” she said in an interview Monday. “It’s vulnerable enough now that the risk is it’ll have a nonlinear change.” An inflation breakout, by contrast, is a lower risk given how tariff-driven cost increases have been more muted than anticipated earlier this year, she said.

Clarence Thomas Becomes Nation’s Fifth Longest-Serving Supreme Court Justice

by Zachary Mettler | November 21, 2025 |GovernmentCongratulations are in order for Justice Clarence Thomas, who just became our nation’s fifth longest-serving Supreme Court justice.

Nominated to the Court by former President George H.W. Bush, the U.S. Senate confirmedThomas as an associate justice on October 15, 1991, in a 52-48 vote after a contentious confirmation hearing.

Thomas began his tenure on the Supreme Court on October 23, 1991. Since then, he’s served for 34 years and 29 days (that’s 12,448 days), beating out Justice Hugo Black.

In roughly five months, Thomas will – God-willing – surpass Chief Justice John Marshall, and Justices John Paul Stevens and Stephen Johnson Field, to become our nation’s second longest-serving justice, behind only William O. Douglass, who served for 36 years and 209 days.

During his time on the Court, Thomas has been the leader of the court’s conservative wing. He’s proved to be an ardent proponent of originalism, the judicial philosophy that asserts the Constitution means today what it meant at the time it was written.

Thomas’ philosophy has led him to dissent from the Court’s conclusion the Constitution guarantees a “right” to same-sex marriage, as it decided in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015.

“Our Constitution — like the Declaration of Independence before it — was predicated on a simple truth: One’s liberty, not to mention one’s dignity, was something to be shielded from — not provided by — the State,” Thomas wrote in his dissent to Obergefell. “[The Court’s] decision will have inestimable consequences for our Constitution and our society.”

In 2022, Thomas joined the Court’s majority in deciding the Constitution does not contain a “right” to abortion. He wrote in a concurring opinion,

I join the opinion of the Court because it correctly holds that there is no constitutional right to abortion. … The Court well explains why, under our substantive due process precedents, the purported right to abortion is not a form of “liberty” protected by the Due Process Clause.

Thomas has also been an ardent defender of religious freedom, free speech, and equality under the law.

Thomas joined the Court’s majority in 2023, ruling that affirmative action and racial quotas in college admission processes violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Thomas opined,

I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law.

In 2008, Thomas released his autobiography, My Grandfather’s Son: A Memoir. The book is as inspiring as it is compelling.

In 2020, filmmakers Michael Pack, Gina Cappo Pack and Faith Jones released a movie about Clarence Thomas’ life. The film, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, does a remarkable job telling the 77-year-old’s life story, his conversion from radical leftist to courageous conservative, and his unlikely ascendance to the highest Court in the land.

If you haven’t seen the movie, it’s well worth your time. You can watch a trailer for the film below:

HARNWELL: another thing I hate about this 28-point “Trump Peace Plan” — it will be “legally binding” on the US

Don’t ask me what “legally binding” means.It could be some kind of international court that will have jurisdiction over enforcement (terrible).

Or perhaps a treaty that will leave enforcement to US (and other) activist judges (even worse).

In any case, this 28-point plan is a giant TURD SANDWICH.

It even sets up the “Mother-of-all-Grifts” we’ve been warning about for nearly four years — the “reconstruction” of Ukraine. Which apparently the US and the EU will be now be committing to.

Oh God: please kill this plan!

I hope this whole negotiation falls apart and the U.S. walks away from the EU trap to keep the U.S. eternally bound that will destroy our country.

Trump should have a tantrum publicly and tell them all, we are out once and for all. Just bomb EU and Ukraine or whatever to hell they want to do.

Inside Secret Florida Enclave Luring Celebrities and Billionaires With Unrivaled Privacy, Military Guards—and Incredible Mansions

BY CHARLIE LANKSTON

An exclusive community in southern Florida is proving itself to be a rising power player in the luxury housing market, going toe-to-toe against the likes of Palm Beach and Miami in a David vs. Goliath-style battle of wealth and privilege.

For years, Florida's most moneyed residents have flocked to Miami and its surrounding areas, seeking out a life of luxury rarely found elsewhere in the U.S. Yet that dominance is now being challenged by a little-known neighborhood located in Delray Beach, about 90 minutes north of "the Magic City."

Just last month, Hollywood A-lister Mark Wahlberg made headlines when he dropped $37 million on a newly constructed megamansion inside the enclave—only to be followed weeks later by Rockstar energy drink founder Russ Weiner, who is in contract on two properties in the community, worth a total of $43 million.

So what is it about this secretive sanctuary that has helped to reel in such high-profile property owners?

On paper, Stone Creek Ranch—a "prestigious" enclave made up of less than 40 luxury homes—is a world away from Miami, Manalapan, and Palm Beach: It offers no beaches, no celebrity-approved nightlife, and no glitzy designer shopping.

Yet it offers one very particular luxury that is proving to be quite the draw among the one percent: total and absolute privacy that is safeguarded by a team of armed professionals who watch over the community 24/7—a majority of whom come from previous jobs in law enforcement or the military.

Prospective residents' entry into the community is policed just as carefully: Any homebuyers seeking to purchase one of just 37 private residences within Stone Creek are required to go through rigorous criminal background checks before they can even attempt to secure a home there.

For the rich and powerful, that level of security and privacy is far more "valuable" than any beach or boat dock could ever be, according to real estate agent Senada Adzem of Douglas Elliman, whose team has been responsible for the sale of a majority of homes inside Stone Creek.

Adzem tells Realtor.com® that she has seen a significant shift in her wealthy clients' demands over the last few years. Those who would once never have considered living in a Florida mansion without private beach access or a dock capable of housing their yacht are now turning their backs on those amenities in favor of seclusion away from prying eyes.

"I'm working with a very high-profile couple right now [who] no longer want to live on Star Island in Miami … because [they feel they cannot] enjoy their pool or their yard with people on boats going past and taking pictures," Adzem revealed.

"They just want to have their peace. And that makes so much sense. [Privacy] is valuable to them. They'd rather have all this privacy where no one is looking at them, they can run around with their kids, they can wear whatever. That's what's really valuable."

In a bid to secure that oh-so sought-after luxury, that couple has turned to Stone Creek, Adzem revealed, noting that she is currently trying to secure them a property in an off-market deal—because none of the community's mansions are actually on the market.

Although each of the properties in Stone Creek offers water frontage, because they overlook a private lake, there is no risk of strangers sailing past in a boat and gawking at your backyard—a threat that looms over even the most exclusive areas of Miami and Palm Beach, including the infamous Indian Creek Island, where the likes of Tom Brady and Jeff Bezos currently reside.

That privacy is amplified by the fact that the majority of properties in Stone Creek offer very impressive acreage, which keeps a good distance between each home and makes it feel "like you don't have neighbors at all."

Another big draw of Stone Creek is one that Adzem says many people "overlook," but has often been one of the most alluring aspects of the community: its access to five of the top private schools in Palm Beach County.

As for the homes themselves, there is an extraordinary level of extravagance and luxury on offer to discerning homebuyers.

Wahlberg's new property, for example, spans 18,206 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a home theater, cigar lounge, wine cellar, gym, sauna, guesthouse, and resort-style pool…

Christened Palazzo di Lago, the mansion was designed by developer Aldo Stark, who drew inspiration from Italian architecture to create an "architectural masterpiece" that was described as offering "the pinnacle of luxury living in South Florida."..
