Now we know why he was so rude and disrespectful. 

Disaster in the Oval Office: Dems lead Zelensky, Ukraine off a cliff with pressure to reject mineral deal

"......Before meeting Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).

“Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine,” Murphy’s office posted on X at 11:15 a.m. Friday.

He attached a picture of Zelensky at a conference table, with Murphy seated on the opposite side. ...."

DOGE is waging a class war on America's new clerisy

Good read if you have time.

DOGE is waging a class war on America’s new clerisy

"....... Given these attitudes, it’s not surprising that large sectors of the private-sector economy are fed up with the clerisy’s accretion of wealth and power. People who work with their hands and small business owners tend to be on the receiving end of the bureaucracy’s sometimes draconian regulations. These groups support the GOP by wide margins.

The Florida Voter Fraud Case That Could Overturn Democrat Cheat-By-Mail

These fraudulent clones are digital people created based on the identities of real people, with minor variations in name spelling, birth dates, and addresses. Multiple clones can be made based on the identity of a single real person. As a result, fraudsters can manufacture unlimited numbers of these cloned voters in the cyber world.

They estimate approximately two million cloned voters just on the Florida voter rolls alone.

The Ticktin team has also developed an algorithm that can scan the voter rolls and identify these clone voters. They found that whoever created these clones in the voter rolls was using sophisticated encryption on a level that the National Security Agency might use. ....."
