The meeting began at around 2 p.m. EST (9 p.m. Kyiv time) on Dec. 28, and took place at Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago. The talks lasted for nearly two hours, ending around 4:15 p.m. EST (11:15 p.m. Kyiv time). Zelensky arrived in Miami a day prior.

Before the meeting started, Trump and Zelensky took a few questions from journalists.

Trump offered a vague outlook on talks over a revised 20-point peace plan, saying the war could “either end or drag on for a long time with many more casualties.” He also said there was no deadline for reaching a peace deal and added that he believed both the Russian and Ukrainian leaders want an agreement.

We can hardly believe what has happened.  The snow-globe has been turned upside down and it’s raining blessings.  Putin says Trump is in danger of assassination.  But they missed their opportunity, and maybe it’s too late.  Trump’s picks to head agencies have already been announced. Sometimes the ones who will head the agencies have been persecuted by them.  What we’ll find out in the coming weeks and months is anybody’s guess.  I’m guessing corruption.

Can you imagine the panic?  Especially by those who have abused some position to enrich themselves?   Look how everyone’s gone quiet!  There’s nothing left to say.  We won, they lost.  They’ve been calling Trump “Hitler,” now they’re coming to call at Mar-a -Lago, just so there won’t be any hard feelings.  Even Joe and Mika saw fit to pay a visit, as did Mark Zuckerberg.  Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall?  We’ll never know if they’ve rehabilitated themselves or if they’re just trying to make nice after all the things they’ve said and the disgust they’ve shown.  

We can hardly believe that all the woke nonsense will soon be a memory.  They’ve been spoon-feeding us this garbage for nearly 40 years!  Hard to believe it’s been that long, but it has.  We’ve been living with a corrupt media and (we’ll find out) corruption in government, with the understanding that there’s nothing that can be done.  Thanks to tenacity, something can be done and will be done, unless the guy in the beach chair starts WWIII.  Even then, it would be better to have somebody like Trump on our side.

He’s bringing in geniuses to fix the government.  How good can the news get?  We can hardly wrap our minds around what is coming.  We’ve been surprised before, but nothing like what is coming.  All the celebrities who’ve said they’ll leave the country better be going this time.  I think we’re in for blessings we can’t even imagine, unless…

Unless Joe manages to start something huge before inauguration day.  The general consensus is that he wanted Kamala to lose.  He may have dementia, but there’s no hiding the smile he had on his face post election.   Relations may not have been all that good, but how could they be?  Both of them were ruining everything they touched.  The war in Ukraine has been a colossal waste, especially from our point of view.  Maybe Joe ought to stop giving missiles to Ukraine before something bad happens.  

Hezbollah and the terrorists are suing for peace!  All they can do is fire a rocket from some hiding spot and hope to escape before Israel takes them to the grave.  Winning the war is not enough anymore, as we’ve seen.  They never stop.  They haven’t stopped showing their anger and waving their fists since Biblical times.  They always talk tough, even in defeat.  We’d hate to remind them how many times they’ve let their emotions run beyond their capabilities.  Some of us remember.  

We’ve just experienced perhaps the most meaningful Thanksgiving ever.  May we never stop giving thanks.

Weekly Update 

Greetings from Tyler,

It was almost the perfect legal defense.  The CDC has made a big deal of coming out, in the person of Ms. Walenski, and said they didn’t perform up to standards and there’s a shake-up in progress.  That ought to do it.  So, of the lawsuits filed and pending, the CDC has just inoculated themselves.  Mistakes were made, but every effort is being made to piece together some kindergarten talk.  Here and there we find that masks are still being required of school children, and military pilots are banned from training if they refused the “vaccine.”  Who ever heard of a vaccine that would see the recipient come down, maybe twice, with the malady in question?  There are high profile people, like the pretender and his wife who’ve been double vaccinated, double boosted and have had to isolate.  It’s not nearly as bad as it might have been!  Beam me up.

How’s the Ukrainian war going?  Yes it’s still going, and there’s every conceivable prediction as to the conclusion.  Right now concerns are focused on a nuclear power plant that the Russians reportedly occupied last February, and have kept running by forcing Ukrainian workers to keep working.  Word is that Russia might reroute the power produced to it’s own grid.  Does that mean that the Russians didn’t go after solar panels and wind turbines?  Wonder why not.

TV clips are showing Europe’s rivers dried up.  Did this happen overnight?  How did these rivers go from transportation hubs to completely dry?  You can bet we’ll be told it’s man-made climate change.  Maybe you didn’t buy an electric car soon enough?  Officials have already decided that rain is not a solution to the problem.  No, it’s undoubtedly a climate crisis.  And it’s all your fault!

You might have thought we were through with Covid-19.  Not so fast!  Even though the CDC made a huge deal this week about how they’d mishandled the recommendations and were undergoing a huge shake-up, Covid muscles are still being flexed.  So, no matter how cockamamie the rules may have been, they’re still in effect out there and damaging lives.  Those questioning the orthodoxy are still being banned from social networks (hello facebook and Instagram).  Just today RFK Jr.’s organization got banned for something deemed misinformation.  

When the British tried this back in the 1700’s, it didn’t go over so well.  But you’d think the wars were never fought and freedom never established.  The “elite” are using technology to fling people into utter darkness if they depart from the established narrative.  Regardless of how many “followers,” you can’t say something that disputes the party line without getting in trouble, meaning banned from distribution.

It seems every time you turn on the news, you see a drone shot of Mar-a-Lago with police lights reflecting off the walls.  Whatever happened to the 4^th Amendment?  We’ll probably never see the underlying pretense for this reckless action on the part of national “law enforcement.”  There’s all kinds of speculation as to what they may have been after.  All the trial balloons have gone down in flames.  Nuclear secrets, anybody?   Some think that Trump had the goods on agency misbehavior and planned to embarrass the haughty agency in due time.

But the agents had been in Mar-a-Lago only a matter of weeks before, and everything seemed to be proceeding fine.  There’s a letter from the National Archives thanking Trump for his cooperation.    Agents could look EVERYWHERE and take anything.  Even Melania’s wardrobe was fair game.  Some legal experts expect that Trump will be charged with a crime, and that ought to show us wretched right-wingers how things work.

Not that the U. S. doesn’t deserve whatever comes.  We were endowed with certain faculties that were supposed to help us discern.  But you can’t depend on your own discernment any more. We’ll be told what to think, what shots to get, and there better be no backtalk, or else.

It’s starting to look downright totalitarian.  Some have called the raid, The Day America Changed.  We hope not.  Some of us are hoping God will give America another chance.  We’ve definitely been blowing it, government wise, culture wise etc.  Sooner or later it will all work out.  It’s our responsibility to WATCH and warn. 

Mark
