Mainstream Media Criticizes Ceasefire Negotiations in Ukraine: Don’t Believe Them

The mainstream media continuously points out that while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed readiness to accept the Trump administration’s proposed thirty-day ceasefire without preconditions, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said only that he supports the idea of a ceasefire while attaching preconditions that render it unworkable.

Neither claim is true. Zelensky has attached preconditions, and Putin’s preconditions are not a priori designed to render a ceasefire unworkable.

Zelensky has said, not that he has no preconditions, but that “We do not set conditions that complicate anything.” Though largely omitted from the mainstream narrative, Zelensky has agreed to negotiations with certain key preconditions. According to reporting by The Independent, Kiev stipulates that negotiations must guarantee the return of children abducted by Russia and of Ukrainian civilians illegally held by Russia. Two key red lines are that no territory beyond that already occupied by Russia be ceded and that adequate security guarantees be given. Those security guarantees, Zelensky has previously made clear, must be NATO membership or must be international forces that include the United States.

Though those two key red lines have escaped criticism, they are not categorically different from Putin’s key preconditions. Putin, too, has made territorial demands to address Ukraine’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements and to protect the rights and lives of ethnic Russians in Ukraine. And Putin, too, has made security demands to address NATO’s failure to implement its promise not to expand east, a broken promise that has made its way all the way to Ukraine and threatened Russia’s security. The Kremlin has recently called this its own “ironclad” security guarantee, and the Russian readout of the conversation between Trump and Putin refers to “the root causes of the crisis” and “Russia’s legitimate interests in the field of security.”

President Trump Responds to Report from The Atlantic’s Trump-Hating Editor-in-Chief Claiming that He Was Added to Signal Group Chat Discussing Yemen Strikes

President Trump on Monday responded to a report where the Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief claimed he was included on a Signal group where cabinet officials discussed military strikes on Houthi Muslims in Yemen.

The President delivered remarks Monday with Republican Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Hyundai Motor Group executives to announce a “major economic development project for Louisiana.”

The South Korean auto manufacturer announced a $5.8 billion investment in American manufacturing to build its first-ever steel mill in the U.S., which President Trump said will produce “more than 2.7 million metric tons of steel per year” and create more than 1,400 steel jobs.

“In the next couple of years,” the President said, Hyundai will be investing at least $21 billion in U.S. manufacturing and “massively increasing its auto manufacturing in Georgia.”

“This investment is a very clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work,” President Trump added. “The tariffs are bringing them in at levels that have not been witnessed.”

During an exchange with a reporter in the Roosevelt Room of the White House after the announcement, the President was asked if he had a response to the Atlantic’s reporting on military operations that were allegedly revealed to a reporter.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump-hating crank Jeffrey Goldberg claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

The so-called “Houthi PC small group” allegedly included National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance.

SecDef Hegseth Torches Anti-Trump Hoax Peddler Jeffrey Goldberg Over ‘War Plans’ Conspiracy

In a fiery rebuttal to recent allegations published by far-left The Atlantic, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth firmly denied claims that he and other top Trump administration officials inadvertently shared classified military strategies in a group chat.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Jeffrey Goldberg, the rabidly anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, has cooked up a wild tale about being “accidentally” added to a secure Signal group chat with top Trump officials.

According to Goldberg’s latest hit piece, this chat allegedly contained sensitive details about military strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

Goldberg claims that heavyweights like National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance were part of a so-called “Houthi PC small group,” plotting a long-overdue reckoning for the Houthis.

Let’s be real—Goldberg’s track record is a laundry list of anti-Trump hoaxes, from the debunked “suckers and losers” fabrication to his relentless Russia collusion fantasies. Now, he’s peddling this tale of stumbling into a supposed digital war room, claiming it all started with a Signal connection request from Mike Waltz on March 11.

Goldberg alleges Waltz invited him to the chat on March 13, just days before American bombs began pounding Houthi targets.

Trump’s DOJ Launches Criminal Probe Into Deep State’s NYT Leak Undermining Trump’s Crackdown on Tren de Aragua Terrorists

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed Friday that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into a leak of classified intelligence aimed at discrediting Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA).

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche criticized the leak as a politically motivated attempt by the “Deep State” to undermine President Trump’s agenda, particularly his recent crackdown on the gang.

“The Justice Department is opening a criminal investigation relating to the selective leak of inaccurate, but nevertheless classified, information from the Intelligence Community relating to Tren de Aragua (TDA),” Blanche said in a statement.

He continued, “We will not tolerate politically motivated efforts by the Deep State to undercut President Trump’s agenda by leaking false information onto the pages of their allies at the New York Times. The Alien Enemies Proclamation is supported by fact, law, and common sense, which we will establish in court and then expel the TDA terrorists from this country.”

US Recession Risks Not As High As The Media Suggests

U.S. recession risks have been a headline over the last few weeks as the markets sold off.

“Goldman Sachs and Moody’s Analytics in recent days joined forecasters raising alarm about the increased likelihood of an economic downturn. The warnings coincided with a market plunge touched off by U.S. tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China, some of which were delayed. Retaliatory tariffs issued by China on Monday deepened a trade war between the world’s two largest economies.” – ABC News

That concern is interesting as there was no such concern in January.

“As of January, the risk of a U.S. recession was considered small. A low unemployment rate and rising wages meant consumers were continuing to spend, inflation was drifting down towards the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and the U.S. central bank had cut interest rates by a full percentage point since September. Fed officials considered it a stable foundation for continued growth, and many economists thought the central bank had nailed a “soft landing” from the high inflation of 2021 and 2022.” – Reuters.

Over the last couple of weeks, the market sell-off eclipsed 10% on an intraday basis, sending investor sentiment plummeting to levels usually seen during more significant declines and previous bear markets. While the markets have had a phenomenal run over the past two years, investors seemed to have forgotten that markets tend to correct now and then.

The one thing you can always count on during a sell-off is the media trying to formulate a headline to rationalize investor actions. During this particular decline, it was the return of a U.S. recession.

For First Time in 140 Years Elite Fake News Media Refuses to Toast President Trump at Annual Gridiron Dinner – Instead They Toasted Free Speech, Something They Despise

The elite media is no longer even trying to pretend to be non-partisan. They are out and proud in their hatred for President Trump and the Americans who support him.

Journalist Mark Halperin reported on his 2WAY internet show this week that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will not be attending the annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner this year. Neither will President Trump. They are tired of playing pretend games with a vicious legacy media that hates them to the core.

Halperin also announced that for the first time in 100 years (actually 140 years) the elite press did not toast President Trump this year at their annual dinner.

Instead, the fake news toasted the First Amendment! The gall of these people! They said nothing when reporters and media outlets like The Gateway Pundit were persecuted by the government censorship apparatus and sued by top law firms worth billions of dollars.

These people are just wicked. But at least they are admitting they are on the other side. Give them some credit.

MSNBC host forced to apologize live on-air over false Tulsi Gabbard claims

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle was forced to apologize to Tulsi Gabbard after falsely claiming the Director of National Intelligence praised the ‘good friendship’ between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Appearing on her 11th Hour show on Tuesday, Ruhle delivered the apology live on air after repeating what Gabbard’s office called ‘literal fake news’ during the previous episode.

‘Last night we reported on excerpts of an interview between the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and an Indian TV news network in which she said that Trump was good friends with a world leader,’ Ruhle said.

‘We said that world leader was Vladimir Putin. The full interview shows that Gabbard was referring to Trump and Indian Prime Minister Modi. We’ve cleared that up.’

Guest host Ali Velshi made a similar apology during an episode of The Last Word. 

Their apologies followed the Associated Press deleting ‘erroneous reporting’ in a story by David Klepper titled: ‘Gabbard Says Trump and Putin are “Very Good Friends” Focused on Strengthening Ties’.

The report was changed to remove the false statement with the editor’s note: ‘This story was updated on Mar. 17, 2025, to delete erroneous reporting that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin “are very good friends”.’ 

‘Gabbard was actually talking about Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi,’ the outlet has since added to the bottom of the article. 

The headline has since been changed to: ‘Gabbard says Trump is “looking forward to success” ahead of talk with Putin.’

Fired Boss Of US Institute of Peace Throws Tantrum As DOGE Arrives

Leftist corporate media outlets have been running news headlines suggesting that Elon Musk’s DOGE “broke” into the U.S. Institute of Peace. In reality, however, fired and unhinged President and CEO George Moose denied access to Acting President Kenneth Jackson, a State Department official involved in neutering rogue U.S. Agency for International Development. 

The DOGE team wrote on X, “Mr. Moose denied lawful access to Kenneth Jackson, the Acting USIP President (as approved by the USIP Board). @DCPoliceDept arrived onsite and escorted Mr. Jackson into the building.  The only unlawful individual was Mr. Moose, who refused to comply, and even tried to fire USIP’s private security team when said security team went to give access to Mr. Jackson.” 

That’s certainly a stark contrast to the conspiracy-driven narratives pushed by leftist corporate news networks.

Another unhinged Deep State politician… 

Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) pushed misinformation and information on X, indicating Moose was the “Acting President & CEO.” He was fired last week. Beyer called Jackson’s lawful access with help from DC Metro Police an “illegal power grab.” 

Seems a little dishonest, eh?

Why Is The NYT Admitting the Covid Lab-Leak Theory Now?

Yesterday the New York Times, the written order-of-the-day for the old school left, put out an op-ed admitting, in so many words, the covid lab-leak theory. Check the revealing title: “We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives“. Some were surprised about this.

I am not. I’ll tell you exactly why these prevaricating no-good slime-pushing would-be tyrants are admitting what the rest of us have been saying for years. Because they are scared for their jobs, their funding, their money, their slipping prestige.

Good. Be afraid. We should take it all away. All of it.

Now you’ve heard me many times call for the ending of government having a direct, and the direct, hand in funding science. But it sounds strange to hear. It doesn’t sound sensible. It sounds impossible. But let the NYT itself convince you.

Gain-of-function is the euphemism. Gain-of-lethality is the truth. Scientists, funded by you, dear reader, monkey with bugs to see if they can make them deadlier. To you. Which you pay for. They do this out of morbid curiosity, from the fiction that having created Frankenstein bugs they’ll be able to find cures for their own creations, cures which they wouldn’t need if they didn’t invent Accelerated Death, and because they have money to spend and prestige to seek. Your money.

They made the covid bug in a Chinese lab, which you partly paid for, and they were sloppy and it got out. That story has been told so many times you’re sick of it. But one item I don’t always emphasize. Why did they panic, when it was obvious to the sober there wasn’t any need?

NYT: We Were ‘Badly Misled’ on Covid Lab Leak. But Guess Who’s to Blame?

An Opinion piece in the New York Times by Zeynep Tufekdi made a shocking admission: “We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives.”

Actually, it’s not shocking at all to anyone who has been paying attention for the last five years. 

Tufekdi, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University and a New York Times Opinion columnist, wrote on Sunday: 

Yet in 2020, when people started speculating that a laboratory accident might have been the spark that started the Covid-19 pandemic, they were treated like kooks and cranks. Many public health officials and prominent scientists dismissed the idea as a conspiracy theory, insisting that the virus had emerged from animals in a seafood market in Wuhan, China.

She goes on to detail how scientists and public health officials went to extraordinary Orwellian lengths to cover up any information that pointed to a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology as the cause of the global pandemic that shut down schools, social lives, and the economies of the worlds most powerful countries, including the United States. 

We have since learned, however, that to promote the appearance of consensus, some officials and scientists hid or understated crucial facts, misled at least one reporter, orchestrated campaigns of supposedly independent voices and even compared notes about how to hide their communications in order to keep the public from hearing the whole story. And as for that Wuhan laboratory’s research, the details that have since emerged show that safety precautions might have been terrifyingly lax.

Tufekdi describes high-ranking members of the scientific community using burner phones and making “emails disappear” to keep the bat soup narrative going. Scientists discussed on Slack how they believed the lab leak theory to be plausible even while endorsing the infected bat theory publicly. Evolutionary biologist Kristian Andersen exclaimed in one message, “The lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario.” 

This wasn’t just a case of reporters being tricked into dismissing the lab leak theory — it was a combination of willful blindness and disinformation.
