With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Pretty clear

Trump thoroughly enjoys kissing Putin's ass. Think about the faces of women, like Leavitt when they exited that meeting space. What leverage did Putin use? Child rape tapes?

Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

Trump over explains why he spoke to Putin in the AM, opposed to last night. It's his deception tell. This was so he could say that Putin told him his house was bombed that night. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5UZ...

It's a good commentary on 2025 that the US President announces a major military attack on a foreign country and even the straightest arrows think, 50% chance it's an attack, 50% chance president is on another cognition bender.

Back in 2006, Turnpike CEO/felon Joe Brimmeier vowed to bring in local brands. The speculation was Primanti’s or a Philly cheesesteak brand. Nope. We got The Doggery, a defunct Pittsburgh hot dog shop owned by his friend. Now they’re all Burger King’s or Roy Rogers. www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

Restaurants on the turnpike have a captive audience and are part of a 30-year lease agreement. That’s made for some interesting — and nostalgic — options for travelers.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

This New Year’s Eve, Ukrainians are reclaiming Malanka and Vasyl.

The tradition lives on through street performances, with a goat that dies with the old year and revives with the new, played in the Kyiv metro by Laima.

As his granddaughter puts it, “Norman Rockwell was antifa” — literally.

New: Trump could be referring to theories about a fire on Christmas Eve at a Venezuelan facility that deals with chemical raw materials. Social media users began speculating it was a US attack, but a local reporter near the scene said "People were calm and no one mentioned any strange theories."

Either Trump believes the US struck a Venezuelan facility on Christmas Eve because he was told that erroneously, or he's conflating different stories, or we actually did what he claims. Regardless of explanation, we need that information.

He has no idea what he is saying anymore. The distance between reality and fabrication it’s almost nonexistent for him. He’s tangled up in his own inconsistent statements and memories. His brain is sticky pile of silly string.
Q: Can you say any more about the explosion in Venezuela that you mentioned in a radio interview. Did the military do that?

TRUMP: Well, it doesn't matter. But there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. We hit the area.

Sounds most likely:
There was reportedly an actual explosion at a Venezuelan port on Dec. 24.
The rumor-mill / conspiracy theorists said (as one does) the Spanish for "Bet it was the US that did it."
Putin told Trump he heard the US blew stuff up.
Trump now believes the US blew stuff up.
