President Trump Delivers a Speech from The Department of Justice


Posted originally on CTH on March 14, 2025 | Sundance

After an introduction from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, President Trump delivers remarks to an audience at the Department of Justice.  Video Below:

WASHINGTON DC – President Donald Trump on Friday walked into the Department of Justice and labeled his courtroom opponents “scum,” judges “corrupt” and the prosecutors who investigated him “deranged.”

With the DOJ logo directly behind him, Trump called his political opponents’ lawbreakers and said others should be sent to prison.

Trump charged the DOJ with spying on his campaign, raiding his home, persecuting his “family, staff and supporters,” launching “one hoax and disinformation campaign after the other” and breaking the law “on a colossal scale,” making clear the glee he has taken in undermining the department’s typical independence and wielding it to achieve the White House’s objectives.

“First, we must be honest about the lies and the abuses that have occurred within these walls,” Trump said. “Unfortunately in recent years, a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and goodwill built up over generations. They weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people.” (more)

Secretary of State Marco Rubio Outlines Steps Toward Peace in Ukraine v Russia Conflict


Posted originally on CTH on March 14, 2025 | Sundance

At the conclusion of a G7 summit in Quebec, Canada, Secretary of State Marco Rubio talks about the geopolitical realities of coming to a place where a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia is possible.

This is a very solid outline from Marco Rubio who appears to have found his ideal career position as U.S. Secretary of State.  Rubio simply shines in this role.  This is a 20-minute press conference where Rubio weaves through the narrative engineering, and puts the bigger picture of national security, economic security, and pragmatic U.S. foreign policy into a very well-presented package.

As the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick interview yesterday was a ‘must watch’ segment, so too is this press conference by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.  WATCH:

President Trump asks President Putin to Spare the Lives of Ukraine Soldiers Surrounded in Kursk Region


Posted originally on CTH on March 14, 2025 | Sundance

After a daring maneuver, the Russian military have completely surrounded Ukraine forces in the Kursk region.  The Ukraine soldiers seemingly have been instructed to continue trying to fight on behalf of Zelenskyy.

President Trump is asking Russian President Vladimir Putin to spare the lives of the Ukraine troops.

[SOURCE] 

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real “mess” with Russia (and EVERYTHING ELSE!), but I’m going to get us out. Millions of people are needlessly dead, never to be seen again…and there will be many more to follow if we don’t get the Cease Fire and Final Agreement with Russia completed and signed. There would have been NO WAR if I were President. It just, 100%, would not have happened.”

“Likewise, there would have been no October 7th with Israel, the pullout from Afghanistan would have been done with strength and pride, and would not have been the most embarrassing day in the history of our Country, it could have been a moment of glory. Also, there would not have been any perceptible inflation – Instead we had Record Setting, Country Destroying Inflation, like we have never seen before. Also, we would have had an impenetrable Border, with very few illegals getting in. Oh, what a difference A RIGGED & CROOKED ELECTION HAD ON OUR COUNTRY, AND THE PEOPLE WHO DID THIS TO US SHOULD GO TO JAIL! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”  (Source)

The Kursk Tweet appears to be for public consumption.  It certainly appears to be a strategic message, likely coordinated by both the U.S. team and Russia.

Trump Envoy Steve Witkoff Departs Airport


Posted originally on CTH onMarch 14, 2025 | Sundance

Just as Trump envoy Steve Witkoff departed Vnukovo airport, near Moscow, a series of inbound drone strikes from Ukraine (EU/NATO/UK) hit the area.  The airport was closed immediately following Witkoff departure.

This timed and targeted drone strike is yet another example of Ukraine/NATO/EU/UK provoking and antagonizing Russia as President Trump tries to assemble the outlines of a ceasefire.  This is the 3rd coordinated attack on Russia timed to coincide with President Trump’s team meeting with Russian and/or Ukranian officials.

Fortunately, Steve Witkoff was already exiting the airspace as inbound drones began hitting their targets.

The inbound drones in combination with the outbound Witkoff flight likely complicated the use of Russian air defenses.  The NATO team within Ukraine are playing with fire.

CTH ignores the western media reporting as we await President Trump and Steve Witkoff’s statements on the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Obviously, the U.S. team must be noticing the timing of the NATO attacks as they relate to the ongoing effort toward peace.

(VIA MSM) – Ukraine staged major drone strikes on Russian capital Moscow soon after accusing Vladimir Putin of seeking to thwart Donald Trump’s ceasefire demand.

A major oil refinery was also hit in a strike, triggering ten explosions followed by a massive inferno – just 55 miles from Putin’s £1 billion clifftop palace on the Black Sea.

Vnukovo airport – used by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff to leave Moscow after meeting Putin and his top officials – was closed.

It was the second major Ukrainian attack on Moscow in three days, and appeared to be a direct response to Putin setting multiple conditions for any ceasefire.

The inferno at Tuapse Oil Refinery came after ten deafening explosions, thought to be orchestrated by drones.

Huge flames and thick black smoke rose after the strike and the fire spread quickly. More than 120 firefighters fought the blaze.

Krasnodar regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said: ‘The Kyiv regime attacked the oil complex in Tuapse. One of the gasoline tanks caught fire.’

Moscow was also rocked by drone strikes, causing car alarms to go off ‘en masse’, according to an eyewitness.

The strikes were close to Putin’s usual highway route from his official residence in Moscow to the Kremlin.

Another strike was close to a metro station, with further ones damaging roofs and windows of residential buildings. (more)

Starmer: “wait, Emmanuel, you’re going to do this while Witkoff is there?”

Macron: “Listen you little shit, he just put Tariffs on my wine. You want the money or not?”

Zelenskyy: “Eh, ok, ok, but this one is all you Frenchie.”

Ahead of Meeting with President Trump Envoy Witkoff, Russian President Says He Agrees in Principle With Ceasefire Proposal


Posted originally on CTH on March 14, 2025 | Sundance

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he agrees in principle with a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, but the terms need to be worked out, and he emphasized that it should pave the way to lasting peace.

The “root causes” of the conflict need to be discussed in advance of a cessation of hostilities in order for Russia to evaluate terms of a ceasefire, and who would ultimately be in charge of ensuring peace along a 2,000km point of confliction.

President Putin notes a discussion between himself, and President Trump is needed in order for both principals in control of the conflict to understand the terms of any agreement. Keep in mind, this press conference happens as President Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff prepares to enter a discussion with President Putin.

Beyond the Kursk operation where Putin has encircled the remaining Ukraine ground troops, an issue of importance to Russia, it appears that President Putin might be looking for President Trump to be the ‘peace enforcer.’

There’s going to be a lot more that comes very soon; however, it is prudent to be very careful when looking at western media on the issue of Russia’s response.

Putin will never trust the word of the EU, NATO, Ukraine control agents or Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  There is only one person to whom President Putin is willing to give a modicum of respect and trust, that’s U.S President Donald Trump.  It is an amazing dynamic.

President Trump Holds Oval Office Press Conference During Meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte


Posted originally on CTH on March 13, 2025 | Sundance

President Trump holds a press availability in the oval office with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, an effeminate man of insufferable disposition.

During the press availability, President Trump took multiple questions from the media about the Ukraine-Russia war and current geopolitical events. Trump talks about trade practices with the EU and the end to the 1945 Marshal Plan that is scheduled for April 2nd with reciprocal tariffs.

Schumer Caves – Tells Democrats to Vote for Trump CR to Avoid Musk-Vought Controlling Shutdown


Posted originally on CTH on March 13, 2025 | Sundance

As expected, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has caved on the continuing resolution bill from the House.  Schumer called the decision a “Hobsons choice,” supporting the Trump CR vs letting OMB Director Russ Vought control the government in shutdown mode.  Schumer doesn’t want to see Elon Musk, DOGE and OMB downsizing government by giving them the power within a ‘shutdown.’

WASHINGTON DC – […] In a speech on the Senate floor on Thursday night announcing he would support the House-passed stopgap, Schumer said he had little choice as the Friday shutdown deadline loomed.

“Musk has already said he wants a shutdown, and public reporting has shown he is already making plans to expedite his destruction of key government programs and services,” said Schumer. “A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, the state and the country.”

The White House would not telegraph its shutdown plans, including whether it would unilaterally halt federal programs and furlough workers. Nor would it detail the work DOGE could undertake if most of the federal government were non-operational.

But on Capitol Hill, Republican lawmakers were saying the quiet part out loud: By opposing the GOP’s funding plan in protest of Trump’s dismantling of government, Democrats would, in fact, be helping his cause. (more)

“Resist they much, and they must, about that, they much be committed”…

Happy Schumer Shutdown Day!


Posted originally on CTH on March 13, 2025 | Sundance

This is a big day for potential winnamins.  We may just reach the “too much winning” phase.

Democrats are threatening to shut down government by not supporting the Continuing Resolution (CR) measure that passed the House and is about to reach the floor of the Senate.  This threat is awesome, and we can only hope it happens.

Personally, I think Chuck Schumer will tell eight of his Senate members to vote cloture on the CR (they need 60 votes) and then tell them to vote against the underlying bill on the floor (where only 51 are needed for passage).  However, the looney leftists in the base are stomping their feet and telling Schumer not to support the Trump CR measure.

If the CR is not passed, the govt goes into “shutdown mode” at midnight tonight and all “nonessential” employees, as determined by the Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, are laid-off.

This is perfect for DOGE and the objectives of shrinking government very quickly.  Even Politico notes the Democrats are about to step on a rake.

WASHINGTON DC – […] There’s another reason the White House isn’t sweating a shutdown: Senior officials agree that when coffers run dry, the Trump administration — specifically Vought, the longtime cost-cutting conservative now running OMB — would have unprecedented flexibility to choose which agencies get to stay open and which don’t.

[…] It’s not hard to see Musk getting out his chainsaw and Vought finding a hammer.

“Musk in charge of furloughs in a shutdown? He’d be giddy. He’d be beside himself with joy,” the official joked.

A Democrat-triggered shutdown would be tough for the party for another reason as well: For weeks they’ve been lambasting Trump and Musk for tearing apart the government. Democrats in a shutdown would effectively have to argue that they’re trying to protect the government by shutting down the government.

Good luck making that argument to anyone outside the Democratic base. (read more)

Of course, Majority Leader John Thune could mess this up and give Chuck Schumer something in exchange for votes that we really don’t want, but that’s the problem counting on the UniParty to drive MAGA strategy.

The best-case scenario is that Schumer listens to his base, refuses to give Senate republicans any votes and then we watch the government “shut down.”  President Trump, Elon Musk and Russ Vought then decide which agencies and operations are essential while the rest of the government is closed. 😊 Perfect!

The bonus prize is that all the left-wing investments into Lawfare against Trump for reducing the size and scope of government, become moot.  In shutdown mode, all the lawsuits are useless.  lolol  Happy Winnamin Day!

Russian President Vladimir Putin Visits Frontline Troops in Kursk Region Ahead of U.S. Envoy Witkoff Traveling to Moscow


Posted originally on CTH on March 13, 2025 | Sundance

There are multiple media reports outlining ‘terms’ that Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced in order to establish the framework for a ceasefire. Every single one of those ‘western media reports‘ are fake news.  Putin has not made any statement of terms or conditions for a ceasefire.

What the media are doing is extrapolating on the prior terms Putin announced when he was trying to avoid war with Ukraine.  Those terms included: (1) No NATO membership for Ukraine, (2) no western boots-on-ground peacekeepers (IC ops), (3) Ukraine is denazified/demilitarised and (4) the 4 Donbass regions are accepted by Ukraine/NATO as Russian territory. Again, these were the previous pre-war terms.

President Putin visited the Kursk region where fighting was previously intense as Ukraine mounted a counteroffensive last year, and Russia has just completed retaking most of the area.  During his visit Russian President Putin made the following statement. [Source Kremlin]

“In this regard, I would like to, as you have already noted Some units that have shown themselves in the best way, I hear almost and you have named some of them every day, lately both in the morning and in the evening, I still want to name those that I have heard of.

These are the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, the 106th Guards Air Assault Division, 11th Guards Separate Air Assault Division brigade and 83rd Guards Air Assault Brigade, 56th Guards Air Assault Regiment of the 7th Air Assault Division, 155th Guards Separate Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet, 810th Marine Brigade Infantry of the Black Sea Fleet, 177th Guards Separate Marine Regiment of the Caspian Flotilla, the 34th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade – in the last time, in the last week, probably, she acted especially actively, on the 22nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 72nd Motorized Rifle Division, 1220th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 3rd motorized rifle division and the Akhmat special forces, which have already sounded here, the volunteer formation “Veterans”, which is distinguished by special audacity and efficiency, and all those who acted together with them. I would also like to thank the leadership of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff for what has been done Work.

Indeed, our task in the near future, in the shortest possible time to finally defeat the enemy entrenched in the territory of the Kursk region and still fighting here, to completely liberate the territory of the Kursk region, to restore the situation along the line of the state border. And, of course, it is necessary I would like to ask you to think in the future about creating a security zone along the state borders – this also needs to be thought about.

There is something else I would like to draw your attention to.

All people who are on the territory of the Kursk region, commit crimes against the civilian population here, counteract Our Armed Forces, law enforcement agencies and special services, in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation, are terrorists. So their actions are qualified by the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia, and it is under these articles that “terrorism”, a criminal case was opened against them by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

Valery Vasilyevich has just mentioned the prisoners. But these people, of course, first of all, we must treat as terrorists in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation. We treat all people and must treat all people humanely in the future – everyone who has fallen into our hands. Together At the same time, I would also like to remind you that foreign mercenaries do not fall under the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War.

And of course, I ask you to convey my gratitude to everything personal squad for what has been done recently. I very much hope that All the combat missions facing our units will certainly be have been fulfilled and the territory of the Kursk region will soon be fully liberated from the enemy.”  ~ Russian President Vladimir Putin, 3/12/25

That’s it.

That’s the total confirmed commentary from Russian President Vladimir Putin in advance of President Trump special envoy traveling to Moscow to discuss terms and conditions for a ceasefire as a result of the U.S-Ukraine delegation discussion in Saudi Arabia.

Putin would not make a statement before listening to Witkoff.  The Russian President is strategic, not emotional.

Western media are insufferable in their narrative spin and attributing statements that are non-existent.  Do not fall for the fake news.
