    It’s over…

    President Trump has called off negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the conflict in Ukraine after a tense Oval Office meeting in which the two leaders sparred over U.S. support for Kyiv.

    “We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure,” Trump posted on Truth Social after the meeting. 

    “It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” Trump continued. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

    Shortly after Trump’s post on Truth Social, Zelensky’s motorcade pulled up to the White House, signaling negotiations had ended.

    The two leaders had been scheduled to hold a joint press conference and sign a deal giving the U.S. access to Ukraine’s critical minerals supply later in the day. The press conference has been canceled, and the minerals deal was not signed.

    Trump’s post followed a stunning exchange in the Oval Office in which the president and Vice President Vance teed off on Zelensky, accusing him of being ungrateful for U.S. support and of having little leverage in talks.

    Watch:

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted publicly for the first time since his Oval Office blowup with President Donald Trump on Friday with a social media post thanking the United States.

    “Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit,” Zelenskyy posted on X. “Thank you @POTUS. Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.”

    Trump To Sign Executive Order Making English Official Language of US

      President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order that will make English the official language of the U.S., Fox News Digital confirmed on Friday morning. 

      Trump will sign the executive order later on Friday, which rescinds a mandate issued by former President Bill Clinton in 2000 that required federal agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers, a White House official shared with Fox Digital. 

      Fox News noted that the U.S. has never had an official language across its nearly 250-year history, though every major document such as the Constitution and Declaration of Independence has been written in English. About 180 countries of the 195 countries across the globe have official languages, leaving the U.S. as one of the few countries that has not officiated a language, a White House official shared. 

      The order is intended to celebrate multilingual Americans who have learned English and passed it down to their family members, while also “empowering immigrants” to reach the American dream via a common language.

      Trump Urged To Intervene After Vance Relative Reportedly Denied Organ Transplant Over Covid Vax

      President Donald Trump is facing pressure to use his executive power to block hospitals from denying organ transplants for people not vaccinated against COVID-19 after reports emerged that Vice President JD Vance’s 12-year-old relative was reportedly denied a heart transplant over her COVID-19 vaccination status

      In a letter to President Trump, Rep. Michael Rulli (R-Ohio) alongside Rep. Erin Houchin (R-Ind.) called on Trump to take action. Rep. Rulli said he was partially moved to act after hearing about Vance’s relative.

      The letter, signed by Rulli, Houchin and five other House Republicans, cited Trump’s executive orders ending COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools and reinstating military service members who were discharged for not getting the vaccine.

      “Over the past week, it has come to light that multiple desperate Americans have been denied life-saving organ transplants due to their COVID-19 vaccination status,” the letter said. “This outrageous denial of care has affected some of our most vulnerable citizens – including a child from Indiana and a veteran from Ohio.”

      Houchin told Fox News, “Patients – especially children – should never be turned away from care due to government-imposed mandates. This effort urges President Trump to take action to ensure no hospital or transplant center can discriminate against patients based on their decision to decline the COVID-19 vaccine.”

      “President Trump has done such a great job recently on executive orders,” Rulli told Fox News Digital in an interview. “And I am asking President Trump if he sees this, to please do an executive order… because you could save someone’s life today.”

      “The timing is everything. If we don’t get this done, people’s lives could be at risk.”

      The girl’s mother, Jeneen Deal, told the Daily Mail that giving her daughter the vaccine would violate the family’s religious beliefs.

      Vance said in comments to the Daily Mail that he would try to help.

      “I guess it’s been circulating on social media, but I was made aware of a couple days ago, and we’re trying to dig in and trying to help, obviously, as much as possible,” he said.

      Woman Gets Instant Dose Of Karma After Making Assassination Threat

      What goes around comes around…

      A woman may be facing a visit from the Feds after threatening to kill Trump senior adviser and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.

      TikTok user @sarahcroberts shared a now-deleted video calling for the Tesla and X owner to be assassinated.

      “We need to X him [Musk], and by X I mean, formally known as assassination. And it’s a warning from the FBI is going to f*cking show up. Arrest me. You don’t have enough people to even investigate me at this point. I haven’t filed my taxes in, like, eight years and yet, nobody has come for me. So, I’m going to f*cking say it. Let’s assassinate some motherf*ckers,” the woman said in the video.

      Her video captured the attention of the federal government, setting @sarahcroberts up for a very uncomfortable road ahead.

      Ed Martin, the US Attorney for Washington, D.C., responded on X saying they’ll “talk soon” and she’s going to be put “in the system.”

      The Daily Caller reported that she deleted her entire account following the video going viral.

      Musk has faced a growing number of threats since associating with President Trump.

      The incident comes months after a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

      A U.S. Army soldier drove the Cybertruck, which he rented from Turo, outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Monday morning. Upon arriving, the vehicle was detonated by explosives in the car.

      Investigators found fireworks, gasoline canisters and camping fuel in the remains of the vehicle. The soldier was believed to have fatally shot himself shortly before the explosion.

      On the day of the attack, Musk commented on X that the individual “picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack” because the “Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.”

      GOP Congressman Threatens Tucker Carlson

      Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) threatened former Fox News host Tucker Carlson during a Monday interview, saying if he ever met the pundit, he would “f‑‑‑ing kill” him.

      Speaking to British journalist Steven Edginton from GB News, Crenshaw slammed Carlson for his opposition to sending funds to Ukraine.

      Earlier in the interview, Edginton had asked Crenshaw about the argument that money being spent on Ukraine could be spent on other things.

      “Just coming back to this $100 billion to Ukraine, I know that people like Tucker Carlson will make the argument that there’s a real opportunity cost there, we could have spent that money on the border or fixing issues in America,” Edginton said in the interview clip. “What do you make of that argument?”

      Crenshaw replied that “you can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.”

      “We spent 75-80 percent of our budget on a welfare state in America, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. I would love to ask Tucker what he thinks that $100 billion should be spent on and if he would vote on it as a conservative,” Crenshaw said. “Tucker doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

      “Have you ever met Tucker?” Edginton asked after the interview ended.

      “We’ve talked a lot on Twitter,” Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who has a history of trading online insults with Carlson, said. “If I ever meet him, I’ll f‑‑‑ing kill him.”

      “He’s the worst,” the Texas lawmaker added.

      In his post on X, Edginton noted that Crenshaw said he would kill Carlson, adding: “I laughed it off. He said: ‘No seriously, I would kill him.’”

      The congressman later implied he was joking while replying to outrage from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

      Crenshaw’s reply was met with an X Community Note that read, “Dan Crenshaw did threaten Tucker Carlson’s life. His comment was caught on ‘hot mic’ A/V recording.

      Carlson replied to the lawmaker in a Monday post and invited him to sit for an interview.

      “Why don’t you come sit for an interview and we’ll see how you do?” Carlson said. “I’ll send you my address, @DanCrenshawTX.”

      Super Bowl Champions Respond Following Bogus Reports Team Will Snub White House Invite

      The Philadelphia Eagles will reportedly go to the White House if invited, pouring cold water on the online firestorm after bogus claims said the Super Bowl champions rejected the invitation

      ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday evening that the team “looks forward” to receiving an invitation from President Donald Trump.

      “To those wondering,” Schefter said in a tweet. “Eagles sources say the team is planning on visiting the White House this off-season and looks forward to receiving its invitation.”

      That tweet came after a multi-day social media frenzy that began with a bogus claim that the Eagles had already turned down the president’s offer. The rumor was based on a weeks-old report from The U.S. Sun, which claimed an anonymous player told the outlet that everyone on the team decided days before Super Bowl LIX that they would not visit the White House if they won the game.

      The rumor drew the ire of a number of prominent conservative voices, including Megyn Kelly. Hours after lashing out at the team, however, Kelly acknowledged the possibility that she’d been duped amid the social media outrage.

      According to additional reporting from insider Ian Rapoport, the team would be “honored” to receive an invitation and are excited about going to the White Hous

      The tradition of Super Bowl-winning teams visiting the White House began with the Pittsburgh Steelers after their Super Bowl XIV victory in 1980 during Jimmy Carter’s presidency.

      While most teams have visited over the years, the tradition has increasingly become political, with players and teams sometimes declining the invitation based on personal or political reasons.

      In 2018, President Trump notably disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles after reports emerged that multiple players planned to skip in protest.

      Trump Calls Ukraine’s Zelenskyy A ‘Dictator Without Elections’

        President Donald Trump blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator without elections” on Wednesday.

        The blistering comments come after the U.S. left Ukraine out of initial peace talks with Russia this week. 

        “A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,” Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. “In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only ‘TRUMP,’ and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going.”  

        Trump added, “I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..”

        Describing Zelenskyy as a “modestly successful comedian,” Trump said the Ukrainian leader “managed to talk the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and ‘TRUMP,’ will never be able to settle.” Trump decried that the United States “has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back.” 

        “Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation,” Trump posed of former President Joe Biden. “On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is ‘MISSING.’ He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden ‘like a fiddle.’” 

        Zelenskyy criticized Trump earlier Wednesday in comments to reporters in Kyiv after canceling a trip to Saudi Arabia, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Special Envoy Ambassador Steve Witkoff held talks with Russian counterparts earlier this week centered on negotiating an end to the three-year conflict with Ukraine. 

        “Unfortunately, President Trump – I have great respect for him as a leader of a nation that we have great respect for, the American people who always support us – unfortunately lives in this disinformation space,” Zelensky said.

        Nearly one year past the expiration of Zelenskyy’s first five-year term, the U.S. and Russia are in agreement that Ukrainians must go to the polls and decide whether to keep their head of state. 

        Russia has insisted it will not sign a peace agreement until Ukraine agrees to hold elections, and the U.S. is now “floating” the idea of a three-stage plan: ceasefire, then Ukrainian elections, then inking of a peace deal.

        Zelenskyy’s term in office was supposed to end last May, with elections originally slated for April 2024. But the president’s aides have said elections will not be held until six months after the end of martial law. The Ukrainian constitution prohibits holding elections under martial law. 

        Disturbing Threat Against Elon Musk Scrawled On NY Overpass: Photos

          Residents in Rochester, New York, noticed an apparent threat against billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chair Elon Musk.

          The Daily Wire spoke to two residents who saw the graffiti, photos of which have been posted online. The graffiti reads, “Who will kill Elon?” It was plastered on a 490 off-ramp bridge to Howell Street.

          Barbara Pierce, Director of Bureau of Communications & Special Events for the City of Rochester, told The Daily Wire via email on Thursday that the “offensive graffiti” was removed “as soon as the city became aware of it.”

          The Daily Wire also reached out to the Rochester Police Department and New York State police about the incident, but has yet to receive a response.

          In recent weeks, Democrats have picked up their attacks on Musk, whom they suggest is causing a “constitutional crisis” as he finds waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

          This past week, for example, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) called Musk a “d***” who is “harming the American public in an enormous way” and called for Americans to bring “actual weapons to this bar fight.”

          “What I think is really important and what the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight,” he said on CNN airwaves. “This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country. And it’s important to push back on the chairperson of this committee.”

          Report: Trump Proposes Changes To White House Landscape

            President Donald Trump is reportedly mulling making significant changes to the White House Rose Garden.

            The New York Times reported that designers have already drafted various options. One of the variables that they are considering is whether to use “limestone or an easily interchangeable hard surface, with the possibility of installing hardwood floors for dancing.”

            White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to the story by saying that Trump was seeking to spice up the historical structure.

            “The White House has not been given any tender, loving care in many decades, so President Trump is taking necessary steps in order to preserve and restore the greatness and glory of ‘the People’s House,’” he said.

            During his first term in office, First Lady Melania Trump redesigned the Rose Garden. It’s not clear what she thinks about the new plans.

            The Department of the Interior’s National Park Service maintains the White House grounds, including the Rose Garden.

            The report said that Trump also wants to “hang a grand chandelier from the ceiling of the Oval Office” and is thinking about building a ballroom inside the White House.

            Trump Confirms US Military Airstrike Killed Al-Qaeda Official

            A member of a group linked to al Qaeda has been killed in a U.S. airstrike.

            On Saturday, U.S. forces “conducted a precision airstrike in Northwest Syria targeting and killing a senior finance and logistics official in the terrorist organization Hurras al-Din (HaD), an Al-Qaeda affiliate,” U.S. Central Command said in a press release.

            CENTCOM said the airstrike was part of its “ongoing commitment, along with partners in the region, to disrupt and degrade efforts by terrorists to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against civilians and military personnel from the U.S., our allies, and our partners throughout the region and beyond.”

            “We will continue to relentlessly pursue terrorists in order to defend our homeland, and U.S., allied, and partner personnel in the region,” Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla said in a statement.

            President Donald Trump congratulated U.S. forces following the mission.

            “US forces conducted a precision airstrike against a member of al-Qaeda in Syria this weekend,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The terrorist leader was working with al-Qaeda across the region.”

            “Congratulations to CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla, and the US warfighters who dealt Justice to another Jihadi threatening America and our allies and partners,” he continued.

            Hurras al-Din was formed in 2018 after the Nusrah Front terror group broke off from Al-Qaeda. The group operates primarily in Syria’s Idlib Province and could have as many as 2,500 members, according to the National Counterterrorism Center.
