Russia’s Missile Strikes To ‘Sink Ship Carrying UK Ammo to Ukraine’

March 4, 2025 — bunkerville

The United Kingdom should have supported peace. They are in no position to call the shots.

Rule number 1: Don’t poke the bear. Rule number 2: Never forget rule number 1. Europe is in no place to play the big man. Bad stuff happens. How bad was the attack? USAID pays 90 percent of the media, so who knows for sure. But the Hindustan Times is usually on target.

The makings of World War III.

 

So how is this going?

Macron’s 24-Hour Disaster? Zelensky & Starmer Axe France’s Ukraine Plan? What Went Wrong In 1 Day…

The last thought on this.

Ukraine Building $1.4 Billion Holiday Ski Resort Amid Russian War

March 3, 2025 — bunkerville

Are those U.S. tax payers great or what? As Ukraine continues to defend its eastern front from the Russian invasion, the country is simultaneously working on an ambitious new project—a massive holiday resort on its western border. If anyone thought last week’s bizarre Oval Office meeting with the comedian took you off the chart. Try this one on.

The GORO Mountain ski resort, a £1.2 billion development, is under construction in the Lviv region, near the border with Poland. This sprawling project will feature 25 hotels with 5,500 rooms, covering 2,965 acres. It will include 41 ski slopes spanning 46.6 miles, 846 acres of snow-covered terrain, over 10 miles of ski lifts, two modern gondola lifts, and 11 chairlifts.

Construction began in October 2024, with the first phase slated for completion between 2028 and 2029. The entire project is expected to take 15 years to complete. ( looks like Zelensky expects we will have our boys over there for at least the next 15 years.)

Funding for the resort comes from a mix of sources, Ukrainian company OKKO is expected to invest £400 million in the venture. (Go ahead laugh. Bet $1 Billion plus comes from USAID – How much did Hunter get, and the 10 for the big guy?)

In addition to the hotels, the development will include various recreational facilities such as spas, swimming pools, restaurants, and dedicated spaces for children and business events.

The GORO Mountain Resort project was first proposed in 2017 and was initially scheduled to start in spring 2022. However, construction was delayed due to the Russian invasion.

OKKO Group, Ukraine’s largest network of gas stations, is leading the project alongside globally recognized experts. Partners include ILF Group, renowned for their contributions to ski resort developments like the Remarkables in New Zealand and Austria’s largest resorts, such as Sölden and Kitzbühel.

Despite ongoing challenges, Ukraine’s west is focusing on long-term growth and development, symbolizing resilience and a vision for the future. Source

Here is one for Elon and his boys to get to work on. For more from the OKKO home page, Check the EN at top the page for translation here

Back in the U.S, we learn that Ukraine’s top joker has been a busy man. And our congressmen including our gal Susan Rice have been filling his head with sugar plums that will be given. Telling him not to sign.

So the whole meeting was a setup with Zelensky never planning on signing anything. The media triumphantly determining for anyone dumb enough to believe them, that the whole thing was Trump’s disaster. As Miranda Devine states in the New York Post:

Now Trump’s creative “Art of the Deal” effort to end the war lies in tatters, just as his enemies here and abroad wanted. They could not tolerate that Trump, who thumbed his nose at all their sacred cows, would be successful in ending the war. If Trump succeeded, then it would expose warmongers on both sides of Congress and in Europe as incompetent or far worse.

So Trump’s enemies are now using the million dead souls of the Ukraine war to spawn a new Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, their fourth by my count. (Source)

Meanwhile US Atty Warns Susan Rice After ‘Concerning’ Logan Act Violation

A group of former Obama- and Biden-era officials is allegedly calling on Ukraine to reject President Donald Trump’s minerals deal.

Such acts, critics say, may violate the Logan Act, the law that bans U.S. citizens from negotiating with foreign governments on behalf of the United States without prior authorization.

Despite these legal restrictions, former Domestic Policy Council Director Susan Rice scolded Trump’s deal as “horrible” because it does not extend security guarantees to Ukraine.

Rice made these remarks on Friday during an MSNBC interview about her reaction to Zelenskyy’s temper tantrums in the Oval Office. Clips of her comments went viral on social media, with some users affirming her comments violated the Logan Act.

‘There is no question this was a setup’: Amb. Susan Rice on Trump’s Oval Office ambush of Zelenskyy

Former United States Ambassador to the United Nation joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss the impact that Trump’s Oval Office outburst will have in the War in Ukraine, and what the events of today say about where America stands in the democracy coalition.

Epstein File Dump Fiasco – What’s Going on with Patel and Bondi?? UPDATE

February 28, 2025 — bunkerville

After the much heralded announcement of the release of the Epstein files with everyone at the ready for some steamy stories that will bring down the high and mighty, we learn so far it appears to be a dud. Worse, defiance may be the order of the day pitting the DOJ, the President, Kash Patel as head of the FBI against a New York field office.

UPDATE: Located at the bottom of the post. A bit of a different view.

The other possibility is that Bondi got over her skis. Reports are that the early release of the Epstein file binder to certain reporters was unexpected by all concerned in the White House. The FBI was not prepared to release the files.Then again would they ever.

After her remarks on Fox that she had the files did she believe she had to move forward? Either way what was in the files seems to be what already has been out there. Then again, she may have been trying to put pressure on the FBI. There are still holdovers in the FBI who would not like anything better than to jam Bondi.

This isn’t looking good. Kash Patel, as head of the FBI, should be on a plane headed to the New York FBI office by now and straightening this out. Whistle blowers have been reporting that the FBI has been destroying evidence since the election.

Either way, Bondi is in trouble after this embarrassing fiasco. It is a cluster.

I think Glenn Beck puts the worst pieces of the possibilities out there on the table. The facts of the matter probably lie somewhere in the middle.

UPDATE: Perhaps I have been a bit too hard on Bondi  Worth a look

Biden Judge Orders Trump to Pay USAID Contracts, Blasts Trump Attorneys

February 27, 2025 — bunkerville

A Biden-appointed Muslim judge on Tuesday blasted DOJ lawyers over USAID disbursement and ordered the Trump Administration to pay the foreign contracts by 11:59 pm on Wednesday evening.

Muslim “judge” Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali is trying to force the American tax payer to send “aid” to Muslim countries, against President Trump’s orders

UPDATE:

 

The court system is not handling the lawfare well at all (understatement). The Supreme Court needs to intervene here and in other cases to save the judiciary from itself.

UPDATE 10 P.M.

Chief Justice Roberts, the Justice assigned to cover the DC Circuit, has issued a stay:

UPON CONSIDERATION of the application of counsel for the applicants, IT IS ORDERED that the February 25, 2025 orders of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case Nos. 1:25-cv-00400 and 1:25-cv-00402, are hereby stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court. It is further ordered that any response to the application be filed on or before Friday, February 28, 2025, by 12 p.m. (EST).

On Tuesday, Judge Ali dressed down DOJ lawyers over the disbursement of funds.

“I don’t know why I can’t get a straight answer from you. Are you aware of an unfreezing of the disbursement of funds for those contracts and agreements that were frozen before Feb. 13?” Judge Ali said to the DOJ lawyers according to a telephone hearing attended by Politico reporter Kyle Cheney.

39-year-old Canadian-born Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali, the first Muslim and Arab DC judge, clerked on the Supreme Court of Canada and later led a radical leftwing group that called for defunding the police. In the lame-duck session after Democrats lost the White House and Senate on November 5, 2024, Senate Democrats confirmed Ali on November 20 with a vote of 50-49.

How does someone become a US FEDERAL JUDGE ONLY 5 YEARS AFTER BECOMING A US CITIZEN?? 

Image

Gateway Pundit:

Earlier this month, US District Judge for the District Court of Columbia, Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, temporarily blocked President Trump from cancelling foreign aid contracts.

Judge Ali ordered the Trump Admin to restore funding for the foreign aid contractors after Trump froze US foreign aid for 90 days last month.

Last month, after Trump’s executive order to halt foreign aid grants, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued new guidance to temporarily pause spending on most foreign aid for 3 months.

The judge?

“Mr. Ali’s tremendous legal career, including his extensive work protecting the rights of people involved in the criminal-legal system, has had a profound impact and demonstrates his deep commitment to equal justice. Mr. Ali also becomes the first Arab American judge and first Muslim judge to serve a lifetime appointment on this D.C. court. These underrepresented perspectives are critically needed in our judiciary and will help build trust in our courts, improve judicial decision-making, and strengthen our democracy”. (Source)

A brief refresher.

 Bonus: Here we have another Muslim Palestinian Judge thanks to Biden.

The Ali confirmation was made possible by the absence of SenatorBraun (R-IN), who, if present, would have made the vote 50-50. Vice President Kamala Harris, who would typically cast a tie-breaking vote, was in Hawaii and unavailable, so it would have FAILED! Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) joined Republicans in voting against the nomination, but the absence of Braun ultimately allowed the confirmation to proceed.

Kash Patel Starts Investigation of Comey’s ‘Two Honey Pots’ who Infiltrated 2016 Trump Campaign

February 26, 2025 — bunkerville

That didn’t take long. No better news for a mid-week break then to know our man Kash is on the job. Kash is out there tracking down the two gals who reportedly were sent to infiltrate Trump’s operation back in the day. According to the whistle blower, one gal moved on to the CIA and the other a “high level executive” in a FBI field office. That shouldn’t take long to find them.

FBI Director Kash Patel has launched an investigation into former Director James Comey’s secret “honeypot” operation involving 2 female undercover agents who targeted President Trump’s 2016 campaign, according to The Washington Times.

Here we go:

FBI leadership is starting an investigation into the origins of the agency’s plan a decade ago to infiltrate the campaign of presidential candidate Donald Trump using two female undercover “honeypot” agents.

The off-the-books investigation, launched in 2015 by FBI Director James B. Comey, was revealed by an agency whistleblower in a protected disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee last year and first reported exclusively by The Washington Times in October.

In the intelligence community, a honeypot commonly refers to an undercover operative, usually a woman, who feigns sexual or romantic interest to obtain information from a target.

Mr. Trump launched his presidential campaign on June 16, 2015, about a year before the FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane.

The whistleblower agent “personally knew” that Mr. Comey ordered an FBI investigation into Mr. Trump and that Mr. Comey “personally directed it,” according to the disclosure.

The investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find anything incriminating against Mr. Trump.

The whistleblower said the undercover operation was obscured from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, who investigated misconduct in the bureau’s probe of the Trump campaign.

The FBI whistleblower employee noted in the disclosure that one of the undercovers agreed to be transferred to the CIA so she would not be available as a potential witness.

The other undercover employee was rewarded for her activities through a promotion in the bureau and is now a high-level FBI executive in a major field office.

No one believes their lies anymore.

Showdown -The Cabinet Versus Musk Over the Email Ultimatum

February 25, 2025 — bunkerville

Confusion about whether to respond to the email was still abounding as the deadline of Monday 11:59 p.m. ET approached.

Musk first announced the emails on Friday at 2:46 p.m. ET, saying that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk posted on X:

Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

The email also prompted confusion after some supervisors at some agencies, including at the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Health and Human Services, told their employees not to respond immediately to the email.

There was even more confusion after some top officials at some agencies told employees not to respond. Including the State Department and the FBI.

President Donald Trump on Monday endorsed an email sent by Elon Musk via the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to federal workers on Friday afternoon asking them to reply with five bullets of what they accomplished last week.

“I thought it was great because we have people that don’t show up to work, and nobody even knows if they work for the government. So by asking the question, ‘Tell us what you did this week?’ What he’s doing is saying, ‘Are you actually working?’ And then, if you don’t answer, like you’re sort of semi-fired, or you’re fired because a lot of people are not answering because they don’t even exist,” Trump said during a press conference.

H/T: Breitbart

Let’s not confuse cutting waste fraud and abuse from dealing with 3 million federal employees. When the dust settles, and Musk gets finished slashing and burning, there will still be millions of people that will be needed to run the government.

How you treat people does matter. As the excitement grows over the purge, let us not forget that these are people that have real lives, and threatening to throw them out of a job may not be the best method of encouraging the work force to be productive.

Especially I think about the thousands who are on probation for jobs that they thought they had. Giving up their previous positions that paid the food and rent, maybe moving the family, and now treated in a cavalier way of “your fired.”

This wasn’t the President who sent out the letter on Friday. It was Musk. Now Trump comes to the rescue and says it’s a great idea. Maybe it is. I have my doubts that it will make Wharton’s management class in Human Resources.

I was glad to see the State and FBI departments inform their employees not to comply. Hegseth and Patel are wise enough to know they will have to count on these same people to want to continue to do their best in their work performance. This is not how to get it. If there was to be a letter, it needed to come from the department leadership. It did not need to be a three day demand letter. People could be simply on vacation. If the department is to have layoffs, it needs to come from the departments. Not Musk.

More concerning is that we learn apparently that Musk did not clear the ultimatum with Trump ahead of time.While we appreciate all that Musk has done in righting the ship, he would be wise to consider the human factor. Stealing money from the government, and fostering the idea that all federal employees are drones, are two separate matters.

Musk risks a major backlash anyway with deep cuts to popular programs such as access to the National Parks and Recreational areas. He would be wise to consult with others regarding the fallout of his decisions.

Susan Rice Laments the ‘Dismantling of the U.S. Federal Government’

February 24, 2025 — bunkerville

One constant across the ages: Any time the left trots out Susan Rice, that means some major league, outlandish, criminal lying has to get done. The Luca Brasi of the Democrats.

Explain to me what part of General Milley wasn’t full-on political! Explain to me what part of Lloyd Austin wasn’t full-on political!

 Rice met up with former Obama White House bff, Jen Psaki to complain. Elon Musk telling federal workers to fill out a simple job questionnaire rattles her chain.

Nothing like memory lane.

Susan Rice continues to lie: Benghazi hero. First published 7 years ago. Time is a wasting.

 

It’s time.
