Hours After President Trump Cut Off Support, Zelenskyy Retreats and Says Now Willing to Work Toward Peace


Posted originally on CTH on March 4, 2025 | Sundance

No one should trust him, but Volodymr Zelenskyy just caved.

Posting to Twitter (X platform) the Ukraine President delivers the following message:

“I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.

We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.

Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.

Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.”

Too convenient.  Not buying the sincerity.  Let’s watch what happens.

“Seven Ways from Sunday” Group Select One of Their Own to Deliver State of the Union Rebuttal


Posted originally on CTH on March 4, 2025 | Sundance

It doesn’t quite apex the previous selection of Nikki Haley in 2016 to deliver the State of the Union rebuttal targeting then candidate Donald Trump, however it does come close.

The seven ways from Sunday group have this year selected Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin to deliver the State of the Union rebuttal to President Donald Trump.   Slotkin is a CIA operative shifted into congress.

You might remember Slotkin was one of the Senators who attended the Munich security conference to praise Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of the CODEL.

In the CIA’s need to oppose President Trump, they are getting a little sloppy with the transparency of their agenda.

In semi-related news…. Dan Bongino will soon discover for himself, the FBI runs two basic operations as part of their modern mission. Proactive, and Reactive operations.

Operation #1 is best defined as the “proactive mission.” Essentially the autonomic operational objective of the silo as it is administered. This is the resting compass heading of the organization; it’s functional position in statis.

The ‘proactive mission’ is to defend the interests of the DC system of government. The FBI monitors threats to government interests and takes action based on threats to the framework of DC governance.

Operation #2 is best considered the “reactive mission,” where the FBI is forced into investigative footing as an outcome of something that happens.

The ‘reactive mission’ runs first and foremost through the prism of the ‘proactive’ responsibility. The reactive investigative footing is the full deployment of resources to identify if the event presents the possibility of risk to the DC system.

Example of #2, a terror event is a “reactive” focus. The FBI is reacting to something, investigating some event that has already occurred. Often the reactive investigation runs across the proactive activity, and we discover a “known wolfe” who was not a proactive priority, because the threat was not to DC or Govt., specifically. Another example the NASCAR noose nonsense.

Example of #1, the Hunter Biden laptop, Ashley Biden diary, Awan Brothers, Clinton email server etc., these are all considered ‘threats’ to the DC/Govt system, and therefore they gain the full attention of the “Proactive Mission.”

Understanding the FBI is a matter of understanding the priority of the organization is defending the interests of DC/Govt as the primary objective, the Proactive Operation, the standard setting.

The Reactive Operation is considerably less important and encompasses the after-action Homeland Security mission.

The FBI is a sub-silo of the much more significant Parent silo, the CIA.

It is the CIA who controls the operational mission focus of the FBI.

Tariffs Work – Honda Shifts New Production Plan from Mexico to Indiana


Posted originally on CTH on March 4, 2025 | Sundance

Facing the potential for tariffs on Mexican assembled autos, Honda has cancelled plans to invest in a new auto factory in Guanajuato, Mexico, beginning in November 2027.  Instead, the car company will retool the Civic auto production facility in Greensburg, Indiana, keeping jobs in the USA.

TOKYO, March 3 (Reuters) – Honda has decided to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in the U.S. state of Indiana, instead of Mexico, to avoid potential tariffs on one of its top-selling car models, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The change underscores how manufacturers are scrambling to adapt to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. While several automakers have expressed concerns about the levies, Honda’s move is the first concrete measure by a major Japanese car company.

Japan’s second-largest automaker had initially planned to manufacture the next-generation Civic in Guanajuato, Mexico, according to the three people. Production was slated to start from November 2027, according to one of the people.  Mexico was chosen because rising costs were making it tough to produce the car in Indiana and Canada, one of them said.

It now plans to build the new Civic model in Indiana from May 2028 with an expected annual production of around 210,000, one of the people said. Honda would look to import from nations not hit by tariffs if production in Indiana falls short of demand, one of them said. (read more)

Honda also has facilities in Georgia and Alabama. Its plant in the Peach State produces gearboxes, while the Alabama plant produces the brand’s bigger Passport and Pilot SUVs and the Ridgeline pickup and Odyssey minivan.

Separately, Honda is making investments in American production. It has committed $1 billion toward turning its Ohio facilities, including the Marysville Auto Plant, into an “EV hub.”

Ash Wednesday

Joel 2:12-18

Even now, says the LORD,
return to me with your whole heart,
with fasting, and weeping, and mourning;
Rend your hearts, not your garments,
and return to the LORD, your God.
For gracious and merciful is he,
slow to anger, rich in kindness,
and relenting in punishment.
Perhaps he will again relent
and leave behind him a blessing,
Offerings and libations
for the LORD, your God.

Blow the trumpet in Zion!
proclaim a fast,
call an assembly;
Gather the people,
notify the congregation;
Assemble the elders,
gather the children
and the infants at the breast;
Let the bridegroom quit his room
and the bride her chamber.
Between the porch and the altar
let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep,
And say, “Spare, O LORD, your people,
and make not your heritage a reproach,
with the nations ruling over them!
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”

Then the LORD was stirred to concern for his land
and took pity on his people.

Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Take care not to perform righteous deeds
in order that people may see them;
otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
When you give alms,
do not blow a trumpet before you,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets
to win the praise of others.
Amen, I say to you,
they have received their reward.
But when you give alms,
do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
so that your almsgiving may be secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

“When you pray,
do not be like the hypocrites,
who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners
so that others may see them.
Amen, I say to you,
they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go to your inner room,
close the door, and pray to your Father in secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

“When you fast,
do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.
They neglect their appearance,
so that they may appear to others to be fasting.
Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you fast,
anoint your head and wash your face,
so that you may not appear to be fasting,
except to your Father who is hidden.
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.”

Happy Mardi Gras


Posted originally on CTH on March 4, 2025 | Menagerie

Today is Fat Tuesday, the culmination of the famous season of Mardi Gras.

Debauchery. Bacchanalia. Floats, costumes, beads and masks, and lots of drinking and partying. That’s what we think of when we hear the term Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday.

There is a lot more behind it. Also called Shrove Tuesday, it marks the last day of the liturgical calendar before Lent begins.

After Catholicism spread throughout Europe, many cultures celebrated the final day before Lent began in ways unique to that individual  culture. Eggs, and milk were finished off in one day, giving rise to the term Fat Tuesday. In Poland, such things as lard, sugar, eggs, and fruit were forbidden during Lent, and the beloved  pączki became a special treat for Fat Tuesday. In Detroit they still sell many thousands of them to long lines of people.

Enjoy your Fat Tuesday, and spare a thought to the next forty days. Why not observe Lent, and use the time to more deeply appreciate Christ’s sacrifice and his love for us?

I am sure you’ve seen people on Ash Wednesday with a cross traced on their foreheads. Many churches have Ash Wednesday services, and all are welcome. It’s a thought provoking way to begin your journey, to center and prepare yourself to make changes, to clean out some baggage and make more room for the truly important things.

This is a repeat post. I hope you will join us the next weeks as we look toward Good Friday and the Cross, with the goal of making ourselves a little more able to celebrate on Easter Sunday.

If this post isn’t your cup of tea, find another to comment on. The same goes for the Ash Wednesday post tomorrow, and the Sundays of Lent posts.
