One of the most loathsome figures in Deep State circles got owned over the weekend by Ric Grenell, the Trump administration’s special presidential envoy for special missions. Rice insulted President Trump and flipped out over allegations she played a role in the White House blow-up on Friday involving Trump, Vice-President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that President Trump and Vice President JD Vance teamed up during a fiery White House meeting on Friday to epically put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his place. The disgraced Ukrainian leader arrived in Washington, D.C., to meet with Trump to discuss his rare earth mineral rights proposal.

Let's start off with something useful and uplifting. I don't want to talk too much about the specifics of what is going on in The World right now... around that pinheaded... Loony Tune... Zelensky and his sycophantic catamites or any of the rest of the clueless yahoos in search of self-immolation. This is Smoking Mirrors... where we are supposed to talk about these things, BUT... I am in the delightful position where ONLY God tells me what to do, and what he tells me... nearly all of the time... is to not get in his way while he handles every detail of my existence. Interfering with God is probably the most ubiquitous activity carried out by the people in this world at any time of day.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting Tuesday, in addition to doubling the 10% universal tariff charged on imports from China. In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump said illicit drugs such as fentanyl are being smuggled into the United States at “unacceptable levels” and that import taxes would force other countries to crack down on the trafficking. “We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA, and therefore, until it stops, or is seriously limited, the proposed TARIFFS scheduled to go into effect on MARCH FOURTH will, indeed, go into effect, as scheduled,” the Republican president wrote. “China will likewise be charged an additional 10% Tariff on that date.”

Opinion editor leaves as Amazon executive and newspaper owner says ‘viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others’. Jeff Bezos, the self-proclaimed “hands-off” owner of the Washington Post, emailed staffers on Wednesday morning about a change he is applying to the paper’s opinion section that appears to align the newspaper more closely with the political right. “I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,” Bezos said.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired more than 100 intelligence officers from 15 agencies for using a government chat platform for discussions that included topics like polyamory, gender transition surgery and politics. “I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked,” Gabbard told Fox News on Tuesday. The chat tool was overseen by the National Security Agency, according to Gabbard. Each intelligence agency has internal collaboration chat tools, former intelligence officials said. Gabbard said the fired intelligence officers’ conduct represented “an egregious violation of trust” and violated “basic rules and standards around professionalism.”
A video has emerged showing the ambush and slaughter of what sound clearly to be American soldiers - likely young Mercenaries - by ?? Russian ?? troops inside Ukraine | Words that can be heard from a guy wearing a body camera is "It's a trap, get down" as he gets shot and falls to the ground, still alive. Others - also speaking English - are also gunned down. ● Toward the end of the 30 second video, a Russian soldier comes out and finishes-off the American, who is already shot and laying on the ground. The last word the American said, as he held up his hands, was "NO!" as two pistol shots were fired from what sounds like a silenced weapon. The video was reportedly recovered from a bodycam worn by the American. ● Here's the problem: NUMEROUS Ukrainian outlets are admitting it was UKRAINIAN TROOPS killing Americans because the U.S. is "betraying them."

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem revealed she has caught “some” of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who were leaking details of raids on criminal illegal aliens. Criminal illegal alien gangs have been able to escape deportation after getting tips from ICE insiders about DHS’s planned deportation efforts. However, during an interview on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Noem revealed that she has “found some leakers.” Noem told anchor Sean Hannity that the leakers “will be fired.”
A male predator arrested on multiple charges for exposing himself to women and children has defended his crimes by citing his alleged “civil rights as a transgender person.” 58-year-old Richard Cox, a man who claims to be a “transgender woman,” told police that his “civil rights” allowed him to expose himself sexually to women and children in two different female locker rooms. Cox told investors that his sexual crimes are protected acts because his “civil rights” allow him to use bathrooms that correspond with his “gender identity.”

The Russian president believes his US counterpart is in a “unique position” to act openly and directly. US President Donald Trump has said Russian President Vladimir Putin treated him with “great respect” during their phone call earlier this month. According to Trump, Putin expressed a clear desire to end the Ukraine conflict and normalize relations between Washington and Moscow. Contacts between the two nations, largely nonexistent for years, have intensified since Trump was inaugurated on January 20. A phone call between Trump and Putin on February 12 was followed by high-level Russia-US talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last week. Putin described the discussions as “the first step” toward normalizing relations, a view Trump echoed on Monday.

An official trip will be possible once the Ukraine conflict is “settled,” according to the US president. US President Donald Trump has expressed openness to visiting Russia, contingent on progress in peace negotiations to end the Ukraine conflict. Trump made the statement during a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Washington on Monday. When asked by a reporter about his plans to visit Moscow, Trump responded: “If all this gets settled down, which I think it will, sure, I would go there, and he’d come here too,” seemingly referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin potentially visiting the US.

The UK prime minister is mulling sending troops to Ukraine – but his ignored and alienated citizens won’t follow. Following the Munich Security Conference last week, European Union leaders appeared shell-shocked by US Vice President J.D. Vance’s scathing attack on Europe. He criticized the continent for multiple reasons, including the lack of free speech, arrests of European citizens for inflammatory social media posts, insufficient commitment to security, and destabilization due to both legal and illegal migration. Although Vance seemed to address Western European politicians and officials, it is likely he was speaking over their heads, directly to the public. His words resonated with widespread discontent about politics and politicians across the region, aligning with the prevailing sense of unfairness felt by many ordinary citizens.

If foreign policy is human, then the war in Ukraine killed the prodigal child of Biden and many European leaders. If foreign policy is human, then the war in Ukraine killed the prodigal child of Biden and many European leaders, leaving them bereaved. Proof of death occurred when the 2023 Ukrainian summer counter-offensive failed. Eighteen months on, Zelensky and European leaders remain unable to break out of the cycle of grief. Trump has unwittingly become their therapist. Loss is devastating. I lost my mum to cancer in 2008, and it was the worst day of my life. Hundreds of thousands of people in Russia and Ukraine have had to confront a premature reckoning with grief of much younger relatives, and in many unforgivable cases, children, in the teeth of this pointless war.

These moves signal not only a major change in geopolitical strategy but perhaps even a fundamental tossup of the post-WWII world order. Perhaps in an attempt to have their cake and eat it too, the post-WWII vestige of the European Union issued its own mineral deal to Ukraine following Trump's original mineral deal. The move may be seen as an attempt to undermine the actions of the U.S. in its attempt to bring the war to an end. On Tuesday it was reported that the United States sided with Russia twice at the United Nations on resolutions related to Ukraine. The first vote the U.S. sided with Russia with was a Western European-drafted resolution condemning Russia for its Special Military Operation in Ukraine and support for Ukraine keeping its territory the country had lost to Russia during the war. The U.S. did not vote to condemn Russia’s actions nor support Ukrainian ‘territorial integrity’. The second resolution the U.S. voted for was one it had drafted itself. It was made at the U.N. Security Council and called for an end to the Ukraine war while containing no criticism of Russia. That resolution passed the Security Council despite lacking support from the U.K. and France, which abstained after their attempts to amend the wording were vetoed.
U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden has rejected an Associated Press (AP) emergency motion to restore their access to the White House press briefing room and Air Force One. Following the ruling, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declared, “The winning continues.” The AP has been barred from White House and Air Force One access for nearly two weeks after the corporate media outlet refused to update its style guide to reflect President Donald J. Trump‘s order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Notably, major tech companies that provide map and direction apps, like Apple and Google, have made the change. The AP remains an outlier in refusing to make the name change even among their corporate media colleagues.
A coalition of seasoned military contractors, spearheaded by former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and ex-Blackwater COO Bill Mathews, has presented the Trump White House with a plan to deliver mass deportations. The proposal, outlined in a comprehensive 26-page document delivered to President Donald J. Trump’s team before his inauguration, promises to deport 12 million illegal aliens by the 2026 midterms using “processing camps” on military bases, a fleet of 100 private planes, and a citizen-led “small army” empowered to apprehend violators, at a projected cost of $25 billion. The plan, seen by POLITICO and marked “unsolicited,” says deporting 12 million people within two years “would require the government to eject nearly 500,000 illegal aliens per month,” necessitating a “600 percent increase in activity.”
During the era of tyrannical enforcement of the COVID-19 shot mandate by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), a few hundred medical exemptions were processed, but strangely, nearly 2,000 religious exemptions were not. Sonny Fleeman, a combat veteran and federal whistleblower, once considered his role at the Department of Veterans Affairs to be “a sacred extension of his service” that helped secure benefits for fellow veterans. But after discovering that he and other employees were targeted for their faith-based rights, the claims rater is now beginning to question his calling.
Algorithms created by the United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), have finally achieved what they are calling "God Mode" access to every Executive Branch Agency spending system. | Algorithms are now inside all the Executive Branch systems actively tracing ALL transactions, cataloging all the requisite information, and creating output files for Executive (Presidential) Review. No expenditure of money can be hidden by vast networks of "pass-throughs" as was possible for the past fifty years. No bank account destinations can be shielded anymore. All the secrets about government money spending will be reviewed and, if the President chooses, revealed publicly, continued, or stopped. The masks used to hide what was going on, have now ALL been penetrated by this level of access.
The Associated Press (AP) has LOST a lawsuit against President Trump and other officials in the White House after AP was kicked out for refusing to refer to the Gulf of America. | AP insisted they would continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico because no international organization had agreed to rename the Gulf. The White House informed AP that if they did not obey President Trump's Executive Order, they would lose access to the White House and to the President. AP refused and was denied access. AP sued claiming the White House was violating their First Amendment-protected rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the Press. Today, a federal judge sided with the President and the White House, ruling media outlets aren’t entitled to special privileges.
