Trump tells Russia he will lift sanctions and buy lots of Russian oil. Of course, Putin responds to the influx of American money by refusing to negotiate the end of his attack on Ukraine. Then Trump tells Ukraine they need a different president. No, we do! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/10/w...

General Keith Kellogg: “Russia has been targeting schools, churches. Ukraine is attacking military targets. Russia is not winning and Ukraine has been really putting pressure on. (…) Ukrainians will not stop hitting Russian refineries, as they should. It’s a war and they are attacking correctly.”

We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

Trump strikes deal with Putin to supply Russian diesel to U.S. and global markets
President Donald Trump has few options to reduce diesel prices given the destruction done to refineries by the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Old enough to recall when I chose her over the bloated soulsuck that was Roger Ailes. No regrets given that situation, of course. But what's clear now is that years at Fox News molded both Ailes and Megyn Kelly from the same substance into a matched set of colon-clogging fistulas. Same inhumanity.
