Zelensky Invites Trump to Ukraine for Brief Lecture on Why War Must Continue.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on Donald Trump to visit Ukraine after the former President claimed he would end the war between Ukraine and Russia within 24 hours of re-entering the White House in January 2025.

“Former President Trump said that [within] 24 hours he can manage it and finish the war, for me… he’s very welcome first of all… So I invite President Trump, if he can come here, I will need 24 minutes… not more, to explain to President Trump that he can’t manage this war,” the Ukrainian President explained.

“He can’t bring peace because of Putin if he’s not trying, if he’s not ready to give our territory to this terrible man,” Zelensky added before going on to emphasize the necessity of further U.S. aid and flagging the importance of the next year in combating Russian invasion. He argued that the cost of support would diminish following the upcoming year, assuming the conflict does not extend further.

Zelensky also praised President Biden for his visit in February on the first year anniversary of the conflict, while assuring that the country will not surrender its independence. Zelensky wrapped up his plea to the American public by saying: “Don’t send your soldiers…believe in democracy, believe in Ukraine”.

WATCH: Protesters Scream ‘ALLAH HU AKBAR’ While Scaling White House Fence.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian and Hamas protesters gathered outside the White House over the weekend, attempting to force the gates open while chanting “Allah hu Akbar” (‘Allah is greater [than your God]’ in Arabic). Footage from Washington, D.C. on Saturday reveals protesters wearing keffiyehs – Palestinian scarves – and climbing on the gates in front of the home of the U.S. President, waving Palestinian flags, and screaming things such as “you stand with genocide” and “f*cking cowards.”

The protest drew tens of thousands of people from across the United States to the country’s capital, with many demanding the Biden government institute a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas under the threat of not voting for the Democrat Party in the 2024 presidential election. Others were seen holding signs reading, “Biden betrayed us.”

“[O]ur message is: No ceasefire, no votes… No votes in Michigan, no votes in Arizona, no votes in Georgia, no votes in Nevada, no votes in Wisconsin, no votes in Pennsylvania,” said Nihad Awad, national director at the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was an un-indicted co-conspirator in the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development.

Protests were not merely limited to D.C., however, as mass pro-“Palestine” demos were held across the United States and Europe on Saturday. A number of Muslim men were seen igniting flares in the German capital of Berlin and attacking police officers in London‘s Trafalgar Square later in the evening.

Kim Reynolds is Endorsing DeSantis. Data Shows Her Support Won’t Move The Needle.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is likely to receive a polling bump of four percent or less – i.e. within the margin of error – on the back of Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’s expected endorsement this week. Reynolds, who had originally pledged to remain “neutral” in the race, is being wheeled out as the Florida Governor continues to struggle in battleground states and indeed with his online operation spiraling out of control.

But Reynolds is one of the least liked Republican governors in the country right now, and pollster Tony Fabrizio has previously pointed out how an endorsement from Reynolds will mean very little to Iowans ahead of the caucuses in January. The same, Fabrizio notes, applies to New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, who DeSantis has spent months wooing.

“When Ron DeSantis finally realizes he can’t win Iowa or New Hampshire on his own merits, he’ll look to his fellow governors as a lifeline… However, what he doesn’t realize is that their endorsements do nothing to change his fortunes. DeSantis is in a house of mirrors, and the only way out is through the floor,” Fabrizio told The Messenger in September.

DeSantis has made numerous attempts to cozy up to both Governors, including suggesting he would nominate Reynolds as his Vice President and recently touring New Hampshire alongside Sununu.

Critics have also noted that there are two critical gubernatorial races on Tuesday – in Kentucky and Mississippi – yet Reynolds, who serves as the Chairman of the Republican Governor’s Association, will snub those races and instead campaign alongside Ron DeSantis.

ELECTABILITY: Trump Now Leads Biden In Five of Six Swing States.

President Donald J. Trump is storming ahead of Joe Biden in five of six key swing states just 12 months before the 2024 presidential election, with the 45th President predicted to obtain more than 300 Electoral College votes: way above the necessary 270 to win, new data shows.

Trump, despite his multiple deep-state indictments and attempts to inhibit his re-election run, is leading by 11 points in Nevada, six in Georgia, five in Arizona, five in Michigan, and four in Pennsylvania. Biden leads in Wisconsin by just two points. Across all six, Trump is averaging 48 percent to Biden’s 44.

The 45th President is also polling at unprecedented rates among ethnic minorities and young Americans. Voters under 30 prefer Biden by just one percentage point. Biden’s lead among Hispanics has dwindled to single digits, and almost one-quarter of black voters – 22 percent – intend to vote for Trump, which is “a level unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times.”

Better still for the former President is almost twice as many voters are prioritizing the economy above social issues, such as abortion or guns. Among those economic prioritizers, 60 percent support Trump, just 32 percent support Biden. An overall 59 percent trust Trump over Biden on the economy. Only two percent of Americans told pollsters the economy was “excellent” under the Biden government.

“Discontent pulsates throughout the Times/Siena poll, with a majority of voters saying Mr. Biden’s policies have personally hurt them,” The New York Times admits.

Fox News Misleads Viewers AGAIN, Airing Incorrect Presidential Primary Poll Numbers.

Fox News is once again misleading its viewers, airing false 2024 Republican presidential primary poll results. The network’s mid-day news program America Reports, hosted by John Roberts and Sandra Smith, this week aired graphics that reversed recent New Hampshire and South Carolina primary polling results for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

The false Fox News numbers showed DeSantis ahead of Haley in both a recent USA Today/Suffolk New Hampshire poll and a CNN South Carolina poll. Haley, according to the actual poll results, holds second place in both state primary contests – with her support at 19 percent and 22 percent respectively. Governor DeSantis has slipped to third place in both state primary contests.

This isn’t the first time that Fox’s cable news programming has aired incorrect presidential polls with the error benefiting Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign. Last month, The National Pulse reported that Fox Business’s Varney & Co. appeared to have intentionally altered a graphic breaking down a Fox News presidential poll, giving the false impression that Donald Trump was running behind Democrat President Joe Biden 46 to 48 percent. The actual Fox News poll results showed the opposite with Trump running ahead of Biden.

Both Fox News and Fox Business are owned by anti-Trump billionaire Rupert Murdoch. The New York Post, another Murdoch owned media property, claimed in September Trump was ‘getting smoked‘ in the Republican primary, despite leading by historic margins.

WATCH: Chris Christie Mercilessly Booed at Florida Freedom Summit.

Former New Jersey Governor and sh*t Peter Griffin impersonator Chris Christie has been mercilessly booed on stage at this weekend’s Florida Freedom Summit.

Christie, who can be heard attempting to negotiate with the audience, continues to poll within the margin of error, near zero, in the GOP primary.

President Trump used the occasion to announce a raft of new endorsements, including some Florida delegates who previously backed Ron DeSantis, and have since changed their minds and defected to Team Trump.

DeSantis Endorsers Defect And Throw Support Behind Trump at Florida ‘Freedom Summit’.

Seven Republican legislators from the state of Florida have handed their endorsements to former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, reducing the total number supporting Floridian Governor Ron DeSantis to 93. Among these seven, five switched allegiance from DeSantis to Trump while State Representatives Mike Beltran and David Borrero, initially neutral in their support, also rallied for Trump. This further boosts Trump’s position in his newly-adopted home state, where momentum from his campaign has started to have an impact on DeSantis’s influence.

These endorsements, announced on Saturday at the Florida GOP’s “Freedom Summit”, follow the endorsement from Florida Senator Rick Scott and a switch in support from former DeSantis ally, Florida State Representative Randy Fine. Additionally, 14 members of Florida’s Republican congressional delegation have endorsed Trump, with only one supporting DeSantis, and five undecided.

Several of the endorsing legislators publicly communicated their choice, citing the need for Trump’s leadership in uncertain times. State Representatives Jessica Baker, Webster Barnaby, Alina Garcia, and Kevin Steele all switched from supporting DeSantis to Trump.

WATCH: ‘Whatever, Man’: Rep. Bowman Dismisses Reporters Who Ask Why He Lied About Pulling Congress Fire Alarm.

Far-left Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) has expressed irritation with reporters asking why he lied about pulling a fire alarm to disrupt a budget debate in Congress, demanding: “Man, why are we still talking about this, man?”

Asked why he pleaded guilty to pulling the fire alarm deliberately, despite having initially claimed he thought the lever would open a door, the New York Democrat insisted: “That’s behind me, that’s been adjudicated, we’re done. Pay the fine, move forward, in three months it’ll be dismissed.”

Reporters pressed Bowman on the fact he had not been “straight” about having pulled the alarm by accident, but he insisted he had been “very straight… from the very beginning.”

Further pressed on the fact his criminal actions were an ongoing subject of discussion in Congress, Bowman grew more frustrated.

“Come on, man,” he said, channeling Joe Biden. “Yeah, whatever, man. That’s all good,” he added.

Many January 6th protesters accused of disrupting Congressional proceedings are facing months or even years in federal prison.

Gaetz Blasts WSJ, Rove & Romney in Stunning Letter On McCarthy Ouster.

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has fired back at critics of his move to oust former-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal that declares: “The Wall Street Journal editorial board has criticized me for my successful motion-to-vacate… This is the first regime change the editorial board has likely ever taken issue with. Would it have been better if I found an extremist Sunni Muslim to become speaker?”

In the weeks following Gaetz’s successful ‘motion to vacate’ that ended McCarthy’s speakership, the staunch conservative and populist lawmaker became the target of blame for establishment Republicans and the corporate media as House Republicans struggled to select a new Speaker.

Gaetz’s letter, however, takes a victory lap over his naysayers, explaining: “I understand why Karl Rove (“The Unmaking of the Republican Majority,” op-ed, Oct. 19) and the Journal are upset. You used to be important. For many years, the Republican Party was controlled by your brand of politics—amnesty for illegal immigrants, intervention overseas and deference to corporate America.”

“Those days are over,” adds Gaetz: “The Make America Great Again movement is ascendant. Donald Trump remains the leader of the party and Mitt Romney is a pariah in the GOP.”

In closing, he writes: “Kevin McCarthy is no longer speaker. Instead, Mike Johnson—a committed conservative who will stick to his word—will lead the House. This might upset fans of the status quo, but the stability favored by the establishment resulted in runaway debt and an open border. I will continue disrupting the system to better the lives of my constituents.”

WATCH: Tucker ‘Enraged’ By Speaker Johnson’s Ukraine-First Attitude.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted the newly-elected Speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), for prioritizing the interests of foreign countries over those of the United States. Appearing on the This Past Weekend podcast with Theo Von, Carlson said of Johnson: “He’s a nice guy and I’m not against him… [but] if you think the welfare of another country is the most important thing for you as one of the leaders of our country – third in line to the presidency – you have lost the thread son.”

Carlson pointed out that “the first thing” Johnson did when assuming the Speakership was issue a “statement on behalf of a foreign country,” adding “I was enraged by that.”

WATCH: 

In a speech after being elected Speaker on October 25th, Johnson stated “We want our allies around the world to know that this body of lawmakers is reporting again to our duty stations.” The Louisiana Republican added, “Let the enemies of freedom around the world hear us loud and clear. The people’s house is back in business.” Republican defense hawks in Congress took this as a signal that Johnson was open to additional aid for Ukraine. On Wednesday of this week, Speaker Johnson announced that House Republicans would, in fact, put a new Ukraine funding bill on the floor – the legislation will also contain funding for U.S. border security.

Johnson’s support for new foreign aid packages for Ukraine and Israel isn’t the only issue drawing criticism amongst conservatives, with new staff hires causing consternation. Dan Ziegler, who will service as the Speaker’s policy director, previously served as a lobbyist with Williams and Jensen. While at the firm, Ziegler’s clients included the bio-tech firm Amgen, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Merck, Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk, and PhRMA
