This is President Trump explaining to the slow kids who run Europe that Ukraine will never again control the territory in red. The President hosted European leaders along with Ukrainian President Zelensky on Monday. He let them say all their favorite words about “peace,” “strength,” and “stopping Russia.” Then Trump cut through the noise: those leaders don’t have the weapons to take that red zone back, and the U.S. won’t bankroll another attempt. Look at their faces: It looks like the message landed. Their fun little war — which cost hundreds of thousands of lives, wrecked Europe’s economy, and made them look like fools — was for nothing. Trump later said he phoned Russian President Putin after sending the EU kids home, and started setting up another meeting with Putin and Zelensky. His words: “Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine.” The Europeans don’t look happy. And they shouldn’t be. They prolonged a bloodbath on a lie and I hope they carry the shame of that to their dying day! The post Europe’s Leaders Finally Get the Picture appeared first on Redacted.

A 38-year-old man named Tom Artiom Alexandrovich was arrested in Las Vegas last week during a “multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators.” Before he could be prosecuted, he fled to Israel — where, it turns out, he is a senior official in Israel’s National Cyber Directorate. The U.S. State Department insists he “did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the U.S. government intervened are false.” But that statement sidesteps the obvious question: how was he allowed to leave the country at all? Standard protocol in these cases would be to seize his passport. Instead, while supposedly awaiting a court date next week, Alexandrovich boarded a plane and vanished. This case highlights a disturbing pattern: alleged sex offenders fleeing the U.S. to Israel — and Washington rarely, if ever, pressing for extradition. Why would Israelis tolerate this? Aren’t they concerned about living in a country where sexual predators can roam freely under government protection? The Israeli Prime Minister’s office released a statement denying that Alexandrovich had even been arrested — an obvious lie. He also claimed the arrest would have “no diplomatic implications” for the Washington–Tel Aviv relationship. That part is true: no American authority will care, even though the man allegedly tried to “lure a child with mental disabilities for sexual purposes.” By letting him slip out of the country — with his passport in hand — the U.S. effectively chose not to protect the child victim, but to protect the relationship with Israel.

The U.S. will now screen U.S. citizens for “good moral character (GMC).” This isn’t necessarily new, but it is tricky in application. Currently, would-be citizens have to show a clean criminal background check. Now, however, USCIS says that the absence of wrongdoing is not enough. Officers can disqualify applicants for “actions that, while technically lawful, may be inconsistent with civic responsibility within the community — such as reckless or habitual traffic infractions, or harassment or aggressive solicitation.” But wait — aren’t traffic infractions and harassment unlawful? It doesn’t make sense. The new standard says lawful acts can disqualify you, then gives examples of unlawful acts. That’s the problem: the line between lawful, unlawful, and merely frowned-upon behavior is blurred to the point of meaninglessness. The GMC clause has been part of the Immigration and Nationality Act since 1952. Screening for “good” character might sound like common sense, but in practice it’s wide open to abuse. The Supreme Court has ruled that naturalization is a privilege, not a right — but it also requires that the criteria be non-discriminatory and applied consistently. This new vagueness all but guarantees litigation. And here’s where it gets dangerous: the U.S. has already begun deporting immigrants who publicly criticize Israel. Will that now be folded into the “good moral character” test? If traffic tickets and “aggressive solicitation” are enough to deny citizenship, what happens when political speech is labeled as inconsistent with “civic responsibility”?

MSNBC changed its name to MS NOW — but the network is insisting that “journalists must write out MY SOURCE NEWS OPINION WORLD (MS NOW)” on first reference. Clayton’s take: “It sounds like the fake company from Step Brothers. Prestige Worldwide.” The name change comes after NBCUniversal sold the network. CNBC gets to keep its name since it originally stood for “Consumer News and Business Channel,” but it loses the peacock logo. Both MSNBC (sorry, MS NOW) and CNBC now belong to a new parent company called Versant. Versant’s CEO promised the channel will serve a “progressive audience” and “hold political figures from both parties to account.” The network president admitted staff had “a little trepidation” at first, but claimed enthusiasm grew. Sure. And the new logo? No one seems to know. Is it an equals sign? Melted noodles? A microwaved version of the Human Rights Campaign logo? What a trainwreck — and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of professional liars. The post My Source? No Network appeared first on Redacted.

European leaders made a big show of a conference call on Wednesday to support Ukrainian President Zelensky – just in case President Trump makes him stop the war. It could have been an email. They call themselves the “Coalition of the Willing.” Meaning, they are willing to let people die to fight Russia for the corrupt Ukrainian government. They are the usual fools: Ursula von der Leyen, Antonio Costa, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Mark Rutte, Pedro Sanchez. After the call, they made a big to-do of thanking each other on X. You can catch up on the buffoonery on Zelensky’s X account. They are preemptively coming up with excuses not to accept whatever deal is brokered between President Trump and President Putin in Alaska on Friday. Like it matters what they say. The Telegraph reports that President Trump is planning to make a minerals deal with President Putin. The valuable rare earth minerals in Eastern Ukraine now belong to Russia and President Trump undoubtedly wants the U.S. to have favorable access to them. In exchange, the President could offer Russia a good deal to access Alaska’s natural resources. Alaska produces major commodities—zinc, silver, gold, lead, coal, and oil—and still has untapped oil and gas reserves tied up in lawsuits from climate activists. Does Russia need this? Not really. They already have plenty of their own, but if the price is right, maybe they won’t say no to more, especially if it comes with a peace deal.
