    ”The immigration disaster is a hotbed topic all over the globe. No surprise really; this failed globalist experiment has destroyed the West on a level that is incomprehensible. From Australia to Europe to America and Canada, the globalist agenda of flooding decent, thriving countries with third-world, unvetted illegals and so-called “migrants” has done what it was intended to do: weaken the fabric of nationalism and tradition and create chaos, economic disaster, and division, and it is causing liberal governments to do a massive “about-face” as the public finally starts waking up to what’s actually happening all around them. And nowhere is this course reversal more apparent than in Canada.”

  6. Mike Johnson replaced the conniving Kevin McCarthy, who struck a deal with Biden leaving little room for republicans to curtail spending. Johnson, in the meantime, has been more of a wishy-washy, “nice” speaker, moldable to the demands of the Dems while showing compliance to Trump’s agenda However, he has become unpopular with not only the House Freedom Caucus but also the rank and file Trump base.

  41. “Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected proposals Monday floated by President-elect Trump’s allies to end the war in Ukraine, dealing a major setback for the incoming president’s hopes to freeze the conflict.

    In an interview with Russian state-run media outlet TASS, Lavrov said Moscow has “not received any official signals regarding a settlement in Ukraine” but the Kremlin was resistant to those unofficial ideas.

    “We are not happy, of course, with the proposals made by members of the Trump team to postpone Ukraine’s admission to NATO for 20 years and to station British and European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine,” he said, responding to leaked reports of Trump’s proposals”

    These are not official proposals and it could be just a trial balloon.

    What IS important is that Trump is now saying:

    But he pledged he would not abandon Ukraine amid fears he would give up eastern Ukrainian territory seized by Russian forces in the war without finding a solution that would protect Kyiv.

    I want to reach an agreement, and the only way you’re going to reach an agreement is not to abandon,” Trump said.

    Also his advisers are saying exactly what I predicted, that Trump will threaten Russia with MORE aid to Ukraine and threaten Ukraine with LESS aid.

    “His advisers, including retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, whom Trump tapped for his special envoy to Ukraine, have proposed pushing Ukraine to the table by threatening to cut off aid and getting Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate with the threat of surging weapons.
