Comments by Jared Kushner about a possible "win-win" situation for Ukraine and Russia were slammed by an appalled national security expert.During a Monday appearance on CNN, Alex Plitsas responded to Kushner's idea that Russia can get a win out of the war in Ukraine without infringing on territorial rights and sovereignty. Kushner suggested a "win-win" outcome while meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday as part of President Donald Trump's envoy, along with Steve Witkoff, to Ukraine and Russia."The sound bites that came out of Kyiv and Moscow from this trip, I'm sorry, were nothing short of embarrassing for the United States and were absolutely abhorrent," Plitsas said. "The idea that we should give in to Vladimir Putin's aspirations as part of this is absurd."The weekend visit by Kushner and Witkoff marked the envoys' first trip to Kyiv since the war began, but no major breakthroughs were announced.Plitsas said that Putin's troops have "killed hundreds of thousands across Ukraine" and noted "documented heinous war crimes, including raping and pillaging and hundreds of thousands dead." Those actions are meant to meet Putin's "aspirations to take the rest of the country," Plitsas explained."So while there's a recognition that there may have to be some territorial swaps, the language that is used in diplomacy is important," he said.Plitsas also ripped into Witkoff for comments he made while meeting with Putin on Saturday. Witkoff said that he and Kushner plan to reminisce about his meeting with Putin after their retirements."The language that was used about what fond memories they would have of negotiations in Moscow, followed by the idea that Vladimir Putin's aspirations are valid to be taken into account, is absolutely absurd," Plitsas said. "I was actually pretty disgusted with what I heard."Plitsas added, "It's the first time I've used that type of language to describe this, but this was embarrassing."

President Donald Trump has launched a new offensive in his trade war with Canada, aiming this time at a Canadian airplane manufacturer.The president targeted Bombardier on Truth Social Monday, claiming the company would be banned from selling their products in the United States.“NO MORE SELLING," Trump declared. "Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER!”Trump then delivered a slew of vague demands. “If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank.’ BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST!”According to Reuters, this isn't the first time Trump has lashed out at Bombardier. “In January, Trump said the U.S. was decertifying Bombardier Global Express business jets and threatened 50% import tariffs on all aircraft made in Canada until the country's regulator certified a number of planes produced by U.S. rival Gulfstream," Reuters reported.The news outlet also noted nothing came of the threat.

A deported alt-right provocateur claims he's siccing lawyers on the "proud Islamophobe" conspiracy theorist he blames. On Monday, Milo Yiannopoulos posted on X what appears to be a letter from attorneys at Muslim Legal to Laura Loomer regarding her claim she helped get him deported. "Our office has been retained by Mr. Milo Yiannopoulos in connection with civil claims arising from reported statements, communications, and conduct concerning his immigration status," the letter states. "You have been identified as a potential party to reasonably anticipated litigation."Wrote Yiannopoulos in his post, "Let’s playyyyy." As a reminder, Yiannopoulos is a former Breitbart editor, forced to resign over statements regarding pedophilia, who made a career for himself by publicly calling Black people "apes" and embracing the online bullying of women. Yiannopoulos reappeared in headlines late last month when President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained and deported him back to the United Kingdom.Loomer, whose conspiracy theories include the baseless 2024 claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets and that 9/11 was "an inside job," has claimed credit for the deportation."I was the first person to report on the fact that Milo was in the US illegally," Loomer wrote on X. "I reported him to ICE and the FBI."On Monday, Yiannopoulos claimed he had retained lawyers who are now demanding Loomer not delete or destroy any communications regarding his immigration status. "Given that litigation concerning this matter is reasonably anticipated, this letter constitutes formal notice of your obligation to preserve potentially relevant evidence," the lawyer's letter states. "You are hereby requested to take immediate and reasonable steps to preserve all documents, communications, electronically stored information ("ESI"), and other evidence within your possession."

A bold Labor Day prediction made two months ago by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was dredged up Monday and trolled by a smirking MS NOW host.Peter Alexander repeatedly shared a clip of the self-assured member of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet claiming Americans would see the return of $3 gas by Labor Day. "Inflation is going to come back down," Bessent assured Americans in July. "It's largely dominated, as you said, by gasoline. In many states, we're back to around $3.50. I think we can get back to $3.”When a CBS News reporter pressed Bessent to put a date to the pledge, he replied without pause, “Maybe by Labor Day.”After the clip ended, Alexander's eyebrows were raised. “It is Labor Day," he said. "Gas prices, as you are well aware, are nowhere close to $3 than they were a month ago. Right now, the national average is $4.15 per gallon — that's not three bucks. It's way higher than prior to the Iran war, when they were sitting below $3 a gallon.”Alexander noted Vice President JD Vance defended Bessent's comment, putting emphasis on the word "maybe."This did not stop Alexander from sharing some definite facts with his viewers. ”This is the most expensive Labor Day on record," he said, "with travelers facing higher costs on everything from airfare and gas prices.” - YouTube youtu.be

President Donald Trump's recent dump of "New America" AI-slop spurred a former GOP House member on Monday to make a surprising claim.Ex-Rep Charlie Dent (R-PA) grimaced on air when MS NOW host Peter Alexander revealed the president had once again posted an image on Truth Social that referred to New Mexico as “New America.”“I think most Americans look at this and they say, ‘What is he doing?’" said Dent.Dent urged Trump to stop slapping America's name on states and lakes and start addressing the issues affecting everyday Americans.“The president of the United States needs to be focusing on the hard issues, resolving this war, dealing with affordability," Dent said. "He continues to obsess over the ballroom and the Kennedy Center and the reflecting pool — I mean, all these sorts of things that are completely irrelevant to Americans' lives.”Dent called Trump's name obsession "bizarre" and then dropped a surprising theory.“These are not helping the president or his party — it's hurting his own team," said Dent. "It's almost like there's an intentional act to undermine your own party's prospects in the midterms.”
