Trump insider: "Zelensky's 'Best Bet' is to Leave for France 'Immediately'"
But, but, but whatever happened to Putin going down with multiple strokes, heart attacks, Parkinson's disease, coups, running out of tanks, men, artillery shells and you name it?????? Reality is if and when Zelensky leaves Kyiv it will much more likely be to Florida or Italy where he's reported {by Seymour Hersh} to have villas or Cyprus where his loot is banked. -

Trump Joins the Axis. NATO Dead. WW111 Imminent?
Hummm, According to 3 years of MSM coverage Ukraine have been winning this war from day 1 and Russia was on its arse... but now elections are mentioned the country is under siege and millions displaced. Seems like a bit of a flip-flop to me. -

Trump Joins the Axis. NATO Dead. WW111 Imminent?
Poland is the biggest contributor of Starlink terminals, and is also paying Ukraine;s subscription to the service. https://www.voanews.com/a/poland-pays-for-ukraine-s-starlink-subscription- users subscribing to the service. says-its-deputy-pm/7984648.html SpaceX has a commerical relationship with the Polish government. It is not a servent of the US government. The US government might regard "Starlink" as a controlled export, but they have made no indication they will block Russian subscribers. -

Elon Musk Demands Federal Workers Justify Their Jobs or Face Dismissal
In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the U.S. government, Elon Musk has ordered all federal employees to account for their work over the past week—or risk losing their jobs. The billionaire, who serves as President Donald Trump’s chief enforcer on cost-cutting, announced the directive on his social media platform X, creating immediate confusion and alarm across key agencies. Shortly thereafter, government workers across multiple agencies received a brief email with the subject line: “What did you do last week?” The message instructed them to reply with five bullet points outlining their accomplishments and to copy their manager. The deadline was set for Monday at 11:59 p.m., though the email itself did not include Musk’s warning about potential job loss for those who failed to respond. The directive has thrown government agencies—including the National Weather Service, the State Department, and the Department of Veterans Affairs—into disarray. Senior officials scrambled to verify the email’s authenticity, with some instructing employees not to respond until further clarification was provided. Musk has used similar tactics before, most notably at Twitter, where he demanded that employees commit to an “extremely hardcore” work culture or leave the company. Now, as Trump’s administration seeks sweeping reductions in the federal workforce, the same approach is being applied to government employees. Since Trump returned to office, thousands of federal workers have already been forced out—either through firings or voluntary buyouts—as the White House and Musk’s newly established Department of Government Efficiency push forward with massive job cuts and freezes on federal grant funding. The total number of layoffs remains unclear, but it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of employees across various agencies, including Defense, Health and Human Services, and the Internal Revenue Service, may be affected. Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), condemned the ultimatum as an unprecedented attack on civil servants. “It is cruel and disrespectful to force hundreds of thousands of veterans—who are wearing their second uniform in the civil service—to justify their jobs to an out-of-touch, privileged billionaire who has never performed one single hour of honest public service in his life,” Kelley said. He vowed that AFGE would challenge any unlawful terminations. McLaurine Pinover, a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management, confirmed the directive and stated that individual agencies would determine how to proceed. Meanwhile, leadership at the National Weather Service acknowledged the confusion, urging employees not to respond to the email until its authenticity could be verified. Earlier that day, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to praise Musk’s efforts. “He’s doing a great job, but I would like to see him get more aggressive,” the president wrote. “Remember, we have a country to save.” As federal employees await further clarification, the chaos surrounding the directive underscores the rapidly changing landscape of the U.S. government under Trump’s second term—one in which job security for public servants is anything but certain.
