‘Putin Would Like to End the War’ With Ukraine, Says Trump
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin “would like to end the war” with Ukraine, according to the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and US special envoy Steve Witkoff, both of whom met with Putin on Tuesday.
‘Decided Not to Do That’: “What comes out of that meeting, I can’t tell you, because it does take two to tango,” Trump declared. “You know, Ukraine, I think we have something pretty well worked out with them. They’re very satisfied, considering.” Trump said he believes that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could have reached a deal under much better terms earlier this year. “When I was in this office and I talked about ‘no cards,’ I said, ‘you have no cards,’ that was the time to settle,” Trump said, referring to his February meeting with Zelensky. “I thought that would have been a much better time to settle. But they in their wisdom decided not to do that. They have a lot of things against them right now.” Related: Brutal corruption scandal has Zelensky supporters shaken and stirred…
DHS Launches Illegal Alien Enforcement Sweep in New Orleans
US Immigration and Enforcement agents are rolling into New Orleans for “Operation Catahoula Crunch,” a blitz against illegal aliens in the Crescent City, the Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday.
‘Restoring Law and Order: “Sanctuary policies endanger American communities by releasing illegal criminal aliens and forcing DHS law enforcement to risk their lives to remove criminal illegal aliens that should have never been put back on the streets,” DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “It is asinine that these monsters were released back onto New Orleans streets to commit more crimes and create more victims. Catahoula Crunch targets include violent criminals who were released after arrest for home invasion, armed robbery, grand theft auto, and rape. Under President Trump and [Homeland Security] Secretary [Kristi] Noem, we are restoring law and order for the American people.” Related: Cashless bail and crime crackdowns: Democrats fumble again…
Trump Grants Pardon to Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar and Wife
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will grant a pardon to Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and his wife, who were indicted on bribery and other charges in 2024. Trump said the Biden administration unfairly targeted Cuellar for political reasons.
‘Weaponized the Justice System’: “For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and [Justice Department] to ‘take out’ a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border ‘Catastrophe.’… Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight – your nightmare is finally over!” Related: Merrick Garland struggles to defend DOJ against bias allegations…

Gov. Shapiro Says Kamala Told ‘Blatant Lies’ About Him in New Book
Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) didn’t hold back on Wednesday when rebuking Kamala Harris’ descriptions of the vetting process she conducted while considering him as a possible running mate during her 2024 presidential campaign. In her recently published memoir, 107 Days, Harris wrote that Shapiro demanded to be involved in every major decision as vice president under Harris.
‘She’s Trying to Sell Books’: “She wrote that in her book? That’s complete and utter bull—-,” Shapiro told The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta in an interview. “I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies.” Shapiro accused Harris of seeking to create controversy to spark interest. “I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her a–,” he stated. “I shouldn’t say ‘cover her a–,’” he quickly backpedaled. “I think that’s not appropriate… she’s trying to sell books. Period.” Related: The burden of being Kamala Harris…
Doctor Who Sold Matthew Perry Ketamine Gets 30 Months in Prison
A former physician who pleaded guilty to selling ketamine to Matthew Perry in the weeks before the Friends actor fatally overdosed in 2023 was sentenced on Wednesday to 30 months in prison.
‘Sought to Exploit’: “Salvador Plasencia, 44, was convicted for “repeatedly selling vials of ketamine to actor and author Matthew Perry despite knowing Perry’s well-documented history of drug addiction and that Perry’s personal assistant was administering the drug without medical training or supervision,” a news release from the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California states. “On September 30, 2023, Plasencia was introduced to Perry by one of his own patients who stated that Perry was a ‘high-profile person’ who was seeking ketamine and was willing to pay ‘cash and lots of thousands’ for ketamine treatment, according to Plasencia’s plea agreement. ‘Rather than do what was best for Mr. Perry – someone who had struggled with addiction for most of his life – [Plasencia] sought to exploit Perry’s medical vulnerability for profit,’ prosecutors argued in a sentencing memorandum.” Related: More layoffs at Disney – desperation or smart business?
