Don Surber asks Is Zelensky finally surrendering? "Sure looks like Trump finally got the Ukrainian clown to end Putin’s War." "KILMEADE: “Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the way it is right now?” PRESIDENT ZELENSKY: “Yes. I think this is a real way to end this war.” I totally support his call for an armistice and I will refrain myself from pointing out that he should have done this 3 years ago. Oops, I did." Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks European leaders are Getting It Completely Backwards, Which Explains So Much. News Wax cites Trump: Hubbard's Release Not Part of Russia Swap. "President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Russia had released American Stephen Hubbard after four years in custody following a personal appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The United States, out of respect for President Trump, was not required to give anything in return – an unprecedented situation for Russia," Trump wrote on Truth Social early Wednesday. "There was no 'swap' necessary for this release," he added." But I'm sure he's hoping for something in return. RedWave Press @RedWavePress, "Reporter: “Have you spoken to Zelensky recently, and is there any way for the U.S. and Ukraine to repair ties after this meeting?” Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “I spoke to him today. We had a 45-minute conversation. Look, I'm seeing a lot of things in the media that are not accurate, so let me clear those up. And as I did in my conversation with him, number one is the Department of War. Everything they've been doing with Ukraine remains the same. That has not changed.” “The second is intelligence sharing. The president made it very clear. He's ordered no such changes. So none of that has changed, none of it. And I see reporting that it has, but it's just not accurate. It's not true. And so that was important to clarify.” “Now, you asked about sales. I know one of the things that President Zelensky has been talking about is that he's been trying to buy interceptors. And I understand. So does every other country in the world. I also talked to Saudi Arabia today. They'd like interceptors. Israel would like interceptors. We would like interceptors. Every country in the world would like interceptors. And many parts of the world are asking for that....”

Polls suck, and midterm polls suck worse for any number of explicable easons, but fake polling is just sabotage, and should be criminal. PJM's Matt Margolis hears A Pollster Just Admitted Faking Its Numbers, and the Fallout Is Huge!

"In addition, California admitted to a federal court they have no mechanism whatsoever to verify that voters are legally eligible and rely exclusively on the voters' say-so that he can cast a legal vote. The federal government just arrested 28 people living in California for illegally voting while being Maryland Fathers." Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "Remember, the communists always process their "myths" in 3 phases: 1) X is not happening, fascist. 2) OK, but X so small, it's insignificant, fascist. 3) X is happening a lot & actually it's a GOOD thing! Fascist. Every time. We now have Sparkle Beach Ken at phase 2." Quote Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice, "Any credible allegation of voter fraud should be taken seriously and investigated.

"A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments and congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in November’s midterm elections, according to people involved in the effort. The group includes about 10 current and former officials with experience in the Defense Department, some of whom have previously focused on countering authoritarianism abroad."" So, the spies who lie? Viva Frei @thevivafrei, "CIA Deep State Asset Elissa Slotkin one year ago vs last week: Every accusation hides their confession. They are the weaponization of which they warn."

Another one to put in the "what Democrats plan to do if they take power" file: "If Donald Trump loses the House and the Senate, I would worry. I'd be worried if I were him." "So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's not on the list? He's at the top of that list." "He has a very big sense of fate. And I think it's coming for him. And real hard."

Well, there's no official government statement that a DNA match Ilhan Omar was found to be married to her brother for immigration fraud, (I wouldn't expect it until they're ready to indict), but Matt Vespa says The Ilhan Omar Search Warrant Reveals Something Interesting About Her Name: Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain, "BREAKING: the federal search warrant against Ilhan Omar names her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar," indicating that DOJ believes she is present in the United States under a false identity! Revealed in a scheduling order today from DDC." In a Larry video at Hat Hair, Ilhan Omar Breaks Silence After Federal Search as Trump Blasts Her. From Ace, America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Releases Fundraising Video as the Walls Close All Around Her, "Someone on Twitter pointed out that the trees in the background of this typical left-wing woman car video were all full and green, whereas the trees in Minnesota are of course going bare.

Dave Strom, Macron Now Saying the Images of the Riots Are Misinformation, Muslims Not Involved and John Sexton claims French Looters Aren't Revolutionaires, They're Just Revolting. Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf, "Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates. She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range. The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France." Tom Knighton at TAW wonders How can we sleep while...everything is burning. "For example, the riots in France don’t feel at all like any kind of spontaneous protests that got out of hand about the state of education. Not when all of the rioters happen to Muslim “immigrants” who have already made parts of France into no-go zones before it." Matt Vespa is amused when Scott Jennings' Remarks About the French Riots Caused This Lib Guest to Blow Up on CNN. " “Absolutely false. These things that happen in France are because a bunch of students started it because they didn’t like the way that the country was being run. They weren’t getting enough. It’s the same problem that we have all over the world right now. There is not enough for the people that aren’t at the top. There is not enough education. There is not enough money. We are not being paid enough for our jobs. They were French students that started this protest. Has it gotten out of hand? Absolutely. Are terrible things happening there? Absolutely."
