Diverse Perspectives
Yesterday France's left leaning leader Emmanuel Macron visited President Trump at the White House. European leaders are concerned about the U.S. commitment to help the Ukraine. They kind of want what Biden did, which was unlimited monetary support while managing the Ukrainian response.
Trump has a new perspective on Ukraine, which amounts to the Ukraine entering into a partnership with the US over mineral rights within the Ukraine. That would help the US with its key mineral problem. Kind of like allies working to help one another.
After the meeting Fox New's Brett Baier interviewed Macron. When it came to the question of how much security the Europeans were willing to provide, Macron's answer was somewhat ambiguous:
Macron said discussions are still ongoing about European countries’ roles in maintaining peace in Ukraine once the war is over. "We worked very hard together with the UK prime minister to have a French- UK proposal to say we are ready to send troops, not to go to the front line, not to go in confrontation, but to be in some locations, being defined by the treaty, as a presence to maintain this peace and our collective credibility with the US backup and the US backstop."

Meanwhile a Federal Judge who made his own rules faces impeachment:
On January 29, 2025, Trump's Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a memorandum to all agencies titled "Initial Guidance Regarding President Trump's Executive Order Defending Women." It ordered all agencies to "take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) that inculcate or promote gender ideology," and "ensure that all applicable agency policies and documents, including forms, use the term 'sex' and not 'gender.'"
In response, the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) and the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) removed large numbers of webpages and datasets that used the word "gender" instead of "sex."
On February 4, a medical group named Doctors for America filed an 18-page lawsuit over the Trump administration's removal from the CDC and FDA websites of "a broad range of health-related data and other information used every day by health professionals to diagnose and treat patients and by researchers to advance public health."
On February 11, Washington D.C. federal Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, agreed to impose a temporary restraining order on the CDC and FDA and ordered that any deleted webpages be restored.
On February 24, Tennessee Republican Congressman Andy Ogles introduced an impeachment resolution against Bates.
The article of impeachment states that Bates' ruling was "so utterly lacking in intellectual honesty and basic integrity that he is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors."

Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the confirmation of Representative Elise Stefanik as U.N. ambassador because he can’t afford to lose her vote in the House with various legislation negotiations taking place. Stefanik should have been replaced by now, but New York's radical governor has deliberately slowed down the process in order to gum up the works for House Republicans.

Good morning.
Clint Hill was the Secret Service agent who leaped onto President John F. Kennedy’s limousine as it came under fire in Dallas and kept a scrambling Jacqueline Kennedy from falling. He died at 93.
Joy Reid cried yesterday over her propaganda show's cancellation.
Question: Will her wigs be set free into the wild?
Are the Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham , and Jesse Waters shows propaganda ?
They are opinion based.
Brett Baier's "Special Report" is the only strictly news-based show on Cable news.
They are spin shows, but not racist like Joys.
LOL.
I didn't ask you if they were opinion shows, that is obvious. I asked you if they are propaganda the way you claim Joy Reid's show was.
You regularly cannot even defend your own assertions.
John, I don't know why my answer caused you so much confusion.
You see, when Sean Hannity takes a news story like Lee Zeldin having to sue to get back $20 million that was deposited into a Citibank account because Joe Biden was worried that no government operative could blow through it before Trump took office, that is called news analysis based upon a certain opinion.
On the other hand, when the race obsessed Joy Reid asserts Conservatives would trade tax cuts to openly say the n-word, you have lies and propaganda.
And when you have a news show like Special Report, which has an objective reporting of the news, you have the best of journalism.
No.
Joy Reid's show was nothing more than hate spewing racist propaganda mostly against White people.
Can you refute this? And can you provide evidence that the Fox programs are propaganda?
Who cares.
She's been paid millions of dollars and given a national platform for years to share her views and no one is going to care she's gone. She'll have no career outside of the one MSNBC inexplicably gave her. It's quite amazing when you think about it.
I'm curious, what does someone like Jesse Waters bring to the table? Not to mention Tucker Carlson, who was paid millions for years to spout lies and foster racism on Fox News ?
As for Joy Reid, she will likely have her own You Tube show , podcast, and write books.
I don't watch them but Carlson built a massive audience that followed him fox news.
Joy Reid, she will likely have her own You Tube show , podcast, and write books.
And be as successful as Brian Stelter or Jim Acosta without CNN pushing them
From Greg Gutfeld...........
"Joy Reid provided our show with more material than a seamstress at ‘The View’:
Genius.
Write books about what?
About Thanksgiving being a fairy tale linked to slavery ?
They may even replace her with a felon who blamed "the Jews" for his election loss.
So what? All that speaks to is the stupidity and bigotry of his audience.
lol. THe point is that he built an audience that followed him after Fox, remember? You brought him up.
Isn't that what she was already doing? Level of journalism is about the same.
I have a question for the author of this seed - is the president of the United States still the "leader of the free world" ?
Obviously, he is.
Otherwise, the Europeans would be asking us to remove all our troops from their Socialist countries.
Actually, by voting with countries who are the opposite of the "free world" at the UN yesterday, Trump proved he is not interested in that honorary title anymore.
Now that is a bullshit spin.
Yesterday, at Trumps command, the United States voted against a UN declaration that Russia invaded Ukraine. On what basis can you possibly justify that ?
Have you been keeping up with what Trump has been saying about Ukraine? I am pretty sure you have posted several articles about the subject yourself.
So three years into the war and the UN wants to come up with a resolution that means nothing to anybody and will have no effect on the war just so they can say they are doing something and can now try and blame Trump for the war not ending.
Pathetic
Spot on my friend.
Trump instructed his UN representative to vote against a motion stating that Russia invaded Ukraine, and you think that is ok. America is in real trouble.
So John, how much more free money to Ukraine? and how many American lives are you willing to forfeit?
Actually I don't agree with what they did, but don't let that stand in the way of your narrative. Now how about actually responding to what I posted instead of just trying to tell me (and failing) what I think?
Wrong again. The proposal that Zelensky and friends wrote up was the counter proposal to what the US already proposed.
Now I have a question for you:
Do you have the same gung-ho security guarantees for Taiwan that you favor for Ukraine?
I'll wait for your answer.
That wasn't the issue, and you know it.
A resolution that looks like the treaty of Versailles.
Ukraine hasn't just won a world war, THEY ARE LOSING!
"Yesterday, at Trumps command, the United States voted against a UN declaration that Russia invaded Ukraine. On what basis can you possibly justify that ?"
If Trump gets into negotiations with Putin about the fate of Ukraine, it doesn't make sense to start a pointless virtue signaling pissing contest before talks even start. Even you must be smart enough to realize that.
You would think so but it seems the only thing that will satisfy many on the left is if the borders go back to pre 2014 and Russia pays for the rebuilding. Anything short of that will just be a Trump failure.
Did we? Or did we abstain on French amendments to a resolution we drafted?
" how many American lives are you willing to forfeit?"
As long as Ukraine is doing the fighting, how many American lives have been forfeited?
I have a question John, do you think the leaders of other countries thought Biden was the leader of the free world? or do you think the knew what democrats still won't admit, that he has dementia and was no longer leading anything?
