While President Trump has been trying to make progress on a deal to end the war in Ukraine, the US has also been negotiating a mineral rights deal designed to pay the US back for some of the support we’ve given Ukraine over the past three years since the Russian invasion. Today, both the US and Ukraine say a deal has been reached.

The US and Ukraine have agreed to terms on a deal over natural resources and reconstruction, according to a Ukrainian official.

The source said the terms were agreed after “everything unacceptable was taken out of the text and it is now more clearly spelt out how this agreement will contribute to Ukraine’s security and peace.”…

“I hear that he’s coming on Friday. Certainly it’s okay with me if he’d like to, and he would like to sign it together with me. And I understand that’s a big deal, very big deal,” US President Donald Trump said from the Oval Office on Tuesday.

For the moment it seems no one knows exactly what is in the final deal. All we know is that President Zelensky had rejected a previous version of the deal.

Mr. Zelensky has been pressing for days to finalize any agreement with Mr. Trump in…

Speaker Johnson Just Delivered a Budget Resolution Stunner
February 26, 2025
Let’s be honest here: we have a long way to go. The budget reconciliation process, including provisions for no tax on tip, border security, extending the Trump tax cuts, etc., will take weeks, with many avenues for legislative derailment. The Senate version is different, filled with Ukraine nonsense. The blueprints are set, but the House looked like it was veering toward delivering a body blow for the Trump White House.

Trump Admin Unveils New Stricter Performance Appraisal System for Top Career Officials
February 26, 2025
Top career civil service managers will no longer be judged within rules that allow almost everybody to rate highest. WASHINGTON—Trump administration officials at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) are set to introduce a comprehensive set of reforms to how the performance of top echelon of career executives is appraised. There are more than 7,000 members of the federal government’s Senior Executive Service (SES), which represents the highest level of career management authority in the civil service. The reforms coming from the Trump administration are the most thorough since the Reagan administration in the 1980s. “This new governmentwide SES Performance Appraisal System and Performance Plan will deliver enhanced accountability and help restore a ‘government of the people, by the people, for the people,’” a Feb. 25 memo to all department and agency heads from Acting OPM Director Charles Ezell reads. “It will ensure that senior executives are responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the Nation and otherwise is of the highest quality.

Monica Lewinsky says President Bill Clinton should’ve resigned after affair impeachment
February 26, 2025
Monica Lewinsky believes former President Bill Clinton should’ve resigned from the Oval Office as Congress voted to impeach him for lying about his affair with the then-22-year-old. “I think that the right way to handle a situation like that would’ve been to probably say it was nobody’s business and to resign,” Lewinsky told host “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper in the episode released Tuesday night. Lewinsky, who interned in the West Wing between 1995 and 1997, suggested Clinton should’ve been truthful about the pair’s alleged sexual relationship as a solution to finish out his second term amid the scandal. Monica Lewinsky talks about the Bill Clinton schedule on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Feb. 25, 2025. Call Her Daddy / YouTube “Or to find a way to stay in office that was not lying and not throwing a young person who is just starting out in the world under the bus,” Lewinsky, 51, added. The remarks are a first of its kind for the activist who revealed she has never been asked the question. Lewinsky felt she was being too lenient with the former president and the magnitude of what a resignation could’ve… Read the full article here […]

February 26, 2025

Covered in a blanket, her body was then put on the vacant seat next to Mr Ring and Ms Collin. The couple were even asked to move over to make room for it. For more than four hours, the pair were forced to sit next to the corpse – and the experience left them traumatised. A tearful Ms Colin told A Current Affair: “My husband turned around and asked me to move to make space. I was pretty shocked and I said, ‘Are they going to put her there?'” Mr Ring added: “They went to try and move her, they brought this chair down… and they put her in it and tried to… Read the full article here […]

Prime Minister Albanese Pressed About Conflicting Timelines of Chinese Warship Drill
February 26, 2025
The flotilla of ships is now passing by Tasmania down the southernmost part of Australia. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has pressed the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for not answering “basic questions” about the timeline of a live fire drill staged in the Tasman Sea by a flotilla of Chinese warships. As first reported in The Epoch Times on Feb. 24, Airservices Australia only found out about the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships intentions at 9.58 a.m. on Feb. 21 after a notification from a Virgin Australia commercial pilot. The pilot overheard a warning from the Chinese ships on a radio (guard band) frequency monitored by pilots but not by air traffic control. All pilots in the area, and those scheduled to fly later that day, were warned two minutes later as a result. Later, an Emirates flight spoke to the Chinese ships and was told the exercise had begun at 9.30 a.m.—meaning there was 30 minute gap between when the apparent exercise began and when Australia’s official flight traffic controller knew it was happening. Civilian aircraft were likely flying through the area during that time before being told to re-route—49 flights were impacted by the… […]
