Trump floats plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza

Trump wants Jordan and Egypt to accept more Palestinian refugees and floats plan to ‘clean out’ Gaza

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday he would like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip, potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate. During a 20-minute question-and-answer session with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump also said he has ended his predecessor’s hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. That lifts a pressure point meant to reduce civilian casualties during Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, which is now halted by a tenuous ceasefire. “We released them today,” Trump said of the bombs. “They’ve been waiting for them for a long time.” Asked why he lifted the ban on those bombs, Trump responded, “Because they bought them.”

Trump has built his political career around being unapologetically pro-Israel. On his larger vision for Gaza, Trump said he had call earlier in the day with King Abdullah II of Jordan and would speak Sunday with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt.

“I’d like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”

NN: One can hope!

Trump lifts hold on sending 900kg bombs to Israel

United States President Donald Trump told reporters that he’s releasing the United States’ hold on the supply of 900kg bombs to Israel. “We released them. We released them today. And they’ll have them. They paid for them and they’ve been waiting for them for a long time. They’ve been in storage,” Trump said. When asked why he released the hold he replied “Because they bought them.” Earlier, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that “things,” Israel had paid for were now being sent.

Putin Says He’s Ready to Discuss Oil, Energy Issues With Trump

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he’s ready to discuss crude oil prices and other energy issues at a face-to-face meeting with US leader Donald Trump.

Both Russia and the US are top global oil producers and consumers, Putin said in an interview with state-owned Rossiya 24 TV. Price movements in the commodity impacts both economies, he said.

“We have a lot to discuss here, and there are other energy issues that might be mutually interesting,” Putin said. “I doubt that Mr. Trump — even if we are hearing about the possibility of additional sanction on Russia — would make decisions that could hurt the US economy.” Putin’s comments follow Trump’s Thursday address to world leaders in Davos, when he urged Saudi Arabia and other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to “bring down the cost of oil.”

“If the price came down, the Russia-Ukraine war would end immediately,” Trump added.

Earlier this week, Trump also stepped up pressure on Russia to make a peace deal with Ukraine “soon,” or else he would “have no other choice” but to impose additional taxes, tariffs and sanctions on Russian imports to the US, along with “other participating countries.” Earlier this month, the US imposed its harshest sanctions so far on Russia’s energy industry, the key source of the Kremlin’s revenue that funds the war in Ukraine. The restrictions could disrupt Russia’s exports of petroleum and reduce the global supply surplus.

NN: This is a very significant development. you need to understand that Russia’s real price for oil is $20 to $30 lower than published.  In the real market for black market Russian oil  massive discounts apply. They have to give enormous price discounts to pay for black market operations. Add the fact their exports quantities are deeply restricted. So obviously they have room for movement.  The war has been fought to stagnation, the losses on both sides are massive. Ukraine  does not have the budget or manpower to continue this war. And the recession in Europe is drying up war donations.  Ukraine has exhausted its goodwill with Trump. He’s not willing to give them more money. So the smartest thing Ukraine can do is realize that it got its ass kicked.  Give Russia the territories they already control and accept the fact Ukraine cannot get back these territories militarily or through negotiating. Arrange the best terms of surrender and everyone goes home happy. I want to  add here that trump has rightly stated that Russia was right to go to war from their perspective. Ukraine was the red line for Putin.  Russia expressed extreme concern about Ukraine becoming a member of NATO.  They do not want NATO taking former Soviet Union territories. There was a signed agreement that  NATO wouldn’t expand into Ukraine. Sleepy Joe ignored that agreement and (after payoffs to his druggie son)  was going  to let Ukraine  join  NATO.   Russia is right,  under a  Trump administration this never would have happened.  Trump back in power now, means peace.  No NATO for Ukraine  and the bonus will be oil prices will fall  back to their normal mean  around $35 for Texas intermediate. Everyone goes home happy, The war is over. The global money drain and the destruction of cities and carnage ends.  Russian assumes sovereign control and assimilates  Russian speaking parts of the Ukraine it has captured. The war ends, the peace dividend is much lower oil prices and we wind down world tensions. Trump gets what he really wants and that is cheap oil to bring down inflation and stimulate the US economy. Trump’s $35 oil and drill baby drill will give him the cash he needs to do great things in America.

Trump confronts California Democrats over wildfires

There are at least nine active fires in Southern California, where red flag warnings were extended through Friday morning.

President Trump toured the wildfire devastation in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon, pledging to work with Gavin Newsom, the state’s Democratic governor, to address recovery efforts. “We want to get it fixed. We want to get the problem fixed,” Trump said of the fires before embarking on a helicopter tour of the areas impacted. Newsom, who has clashed repeatedly with Trump about the cause of the fires, struck a welcoming tone when he greeted Air Force One at Los Angeles International Airport. “We’re going to need your support. We’re going to need your help,” Newsom said. “You were there for us during COVID. I don’t forget that, and I have all the expectations that we will be able to work together.” Firefighters continue to battle multiple wildfires in Southern California as the return of strong Santa Ana winds and critical fire weather conditions have fueled new blazes in the drought-stricken region. Two fires erupted in the San Diego area on Thursday afternoon, prompting evacuations. The Border 2 Fire, which broke out in the Otay Mountain Wilderness area east of Chula Vista and north of the U.S.-Mexico border, has burned more than 5,000 acres, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Mandatory evacuations and warnings were issued for nearby residents overnight. Another fire, the Gilman Fire, burned several acres south of La Jolla, briefly forcing residents to evacuate before the fire’s forward progress was stopped, fire officials said. Firefighting crews continue to make progress on the massive Hughes Fire, which erupted near Castaic Lake, Calif., on Wednesday, quickly burning more than 10,000 acres. According to Cal Fire, the fire is now 56% contained. The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings through Friday morning, but much-needed rain is expected this weekend. So far, the wildfires have scorched more than 35,000 acres, destroyed over 14,000 structures and left at least 28 people dead.

NN: Everything these liberal  woke spoke joke LGBGT bacon lettuce tomato binary FAGTS touch turns to shit. A fire department is not a place to affirm your feminine or masculine sex change agenda. It’s not a place to expose your lesbian belief system.  Its their to put out fires and save lives.  Its not a place to go and propitiate the woke  opportunities and missed opportunities and all that crazy shit that’s going on now in California with his lefty liberal agenda. Proof enough is their was no water in the fire hydrants. Kinda of a basic resource for a fire department. The colossal  failure to put out fires is a testament to that stupidness of the liberal lefty system of governess. How much longer does this continue before people wake up and say hey put the water in  the damns for the fire hydrants. Fill the ponds instead of trying to reduce the salinity in the ocean for the smelt fish experiment. Give the water to the farmers so they can grow food for people. Stop experimenting with Natural Bambi Forest Reserves. Clean out the fallen trees, clean out the brush and remove the fuel that feeds the fires. They were too busy with their liberal lefty woke spoke joke agenda to do the job and people are paying the price.

Hegseth narrowly confirmed as defense secretary…….Its a great day for our freedom fighters

Pete Hegseth will become the next secretary of defense after a Senate majority confirmed President Donald Trump’s choice despite his lack of high-level experience and allegations — which he denied — of alcohol abuse, sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement of organizations he previously led. The move by the Republican-controlled Senate was a testament to Trump’s ability to maneuver his narrow control of Congress, as lawmakers voted 51-50 to back Hegseth, a 44-year-old former Fox TV host, largely along party lines.

Three Republicans traitors — Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine — joined Democrats in opposing his confirmation as Vice President JD Vance cast his first tie-breaking vote.

Hegseth, who served in the Army National Guard in Iraq and Afghanistans,  Hegseth’s new job will require rapid learning as he takes control of the Pentagon’s complex bureaucracy, with a budget of more than $840 billion. In his confirmation hearing, Hegseth pledged his priorities would include reviving the US defense industrial base, overhauling the acquisition process to open up more opportunities for defense startups and rapidly adopting emerging technologies. Those plans drew scrutiny from some Democratic lawmakers who questioned his ability to execute them given his relatively limited management experience. Casting himself as a “change agent,” Hegseth said he would surround himself with people who are “smarter and more capable than me.” That will include billionaire financier Stephen Feinberg, co-founder and majority owner of Cerberus Capital Management LP, who Trump has nominated to serve as Hegseth’s deputy.

Hegseth has vowed to rid the military of what he and Trump have called “woke” policies.

“The US military needs to confront the reality and perception that it has become too focused on political issues of social justice, political correctness, critical race theory, climate change, etc.,” Hegseth wrote in response to written questions from the Senate Armed Services Committee.Hegseth and his deputies will be expected to deliver on Trump’s pledge to end US involvement in existing wars while deterring future aggression. An early test will come in deciding whether to continue providing US weapons to Ukraine as Trump pushes for a rapid end to the war that began with Russia’s fullscale invasion of its neighbor almost three years ago. Hegseth also is likely to press Trump’s case that allies and partners in Europe and Asia should spend more on their own defense so the US can spend less protecting them.

nn: fagots, wok dopes, commies, liberals, DEI ASSHOLES, foreign enemies of America and Israel should be very very scared

Trump: OPEC cutting prices will stop tragedy in Ukraine

United States President Donald Trump shared on Friday that The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) slashing the prices of oil would end the “terrible tragedy” happening in the Ukraine war. “A tremendous number of Russian soldiers are dead,” Trump stated during his visit to North Carolina, reiterating his previous call for Russia to end the conflict. The leader also addressed the devastating fires in California, announcing changes in the state’s water policy and criticizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) response. He further noted that states will have to “take care of disasters” and promised additional funds to help the victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

Putin: Russia is ready for negotiations on Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on Friday that Moscow is ready to enter into negotiations on Ukraine. Addressing the issue, the leader said he shares “trusting and pragmatic” relations with his United States counterpart Donald Trump. He went on to say that he believes “Kiev sponsors” will force Zelensky to reverse his decision to ban negotiations with Russia. The move comes after Trump called on Russia to end “the ridiculous war” with Kiev, threatening sanctions on everything Russian being sold in the US if Putin does not oblige.

 Trump has threatened to impose ‘massive tariffs and sanctions’ against Russia if the war did not end immediately.  “If they don’t settle this war soon, like almost immediately, I’m going to put massive tariffs on Russia, and massive taxes, and also big sanctions,” the Republican leader added during a Fox News interview on Thursday. Putin had also indicated his willingness to discuss Ukraine and nuclear arms with the new US administration earlier this week in a congratulatory message for Donald Trump. Putin also insisted that he wanted to secure a long-lasting peace in Ukraine rather than a short ceasefire. “We see the statements by the newly elected president of the United States and members of his team about the desire to restore direct contacts with Russia. We also hear his statement about the need to do everything possible to prevent World War Three. We of course welcome this attitude and congratulate the elected president of the United States of America on taking office,” he had said on Monday. NN: peace is in the air. Millions kilted for nothing. Lots of oil will soon be coming to market

Trump: Energy, tariffs to lead the way to wealth

United States President Donald Trump said in an exclusive interview with Fox News that energy and tariffs would lead the US to wealth. Trump stressed that the US has “more oil and gas than any other country,” unlike China which has to get it “the old fashioned way and buy it.” Trump said that energy would lead the US on its path toward becoming a “wealthy country again.” But “there will be other things also,” he said, pointing to tariffs. He also praised natural gas for being a “powerful, clean and consistent” source of energy, unlike wind. “We’re putting an order out. I’ve already sort of done it. We don’t want windmills,” he insisted.

Trump reiterates call for stopping Ukraine conflict

United States President Donald Trump said during a Fox News interview that he hoped to lead settlement negotiations for the Ukraine-Russia conflict, though he once again vowed “massive sanctions,” if Russia refused to settle. “If they don’t settle this war soon,” Trump said, “I’m going to put massive tariffs on Russia and massive taxes and also big sanctions.” He then clarified, “I don’t want to do that, I love the Russian people, they’re great people, but we got to get this war ended.” Trump added that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “wants to settle now, he’s had enough,” saying of the Ukrainian people that “they were brave but we gave them billions of dollars.”
