Zelensky Rejected Peace, MS-13 Ran Free, and Trump’s Taking the Gloves Off
From foreign aid to food dye bans, the regime is melting down—and the America First counterpunch just landed.
Good Morning, it’s Thursday, April 24th, 2025.
Zelensky just slammed the door on a U.S.-backed peace deal, and J.D. Vance is warning that Ukraine's war subsidy is about to dry up. Meanwhile, the left’s “immigration victim” turned out to be a human trafficker, an illegal immigrant who killed two teens is up for early release, and RFK Jr. wants to ban Skittles while fentanyl pours across our border. Trump? He’s done playing nice—DEI discipline bans, new tariffs, and a federal court shake-up are all coming in hot. If you’re feeling like the narrative is crumbling, that’s because it is.
If you know someone still clinging to the script, send them this issue and watch the meltdown begin.
And if you’ve had enough of the gaslighting, hit reply and speak up—we’re listening.
Zelensky Just Spit in Trump’s Face—and Vance Says Ukraine Might Get Cut Off
Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly rejected a peace plan being floated by the Trump administration to finally end the war in Ukraine—and the backlash is already here. Senator J.D. Vance made it clear: if Kyiv won’t come to the table, America’s not going to bankroll this forever. Translation: the blank check is about to bounce.
Zelensky isn’t looking for peace—he’s looking for perpetual conflict, as long as U.S. taxpayers keep footing the bill. The left and the defense lobby want the gravy train to keep rolling, and Zelensky’s become the poster boy for a war that justifies endless spending, censorship, and NATO expansion. But Trump’s America First doctrine is flipping the script: no peace, no money.
This matters because Trump is finally putting limits on a war that’s drained our treasury, weakened our alliances, and pushed us to the brink of a hot war with Russia. Conservatives should be watching this moment closely—because it marks the first real test of whether foreign aid has to earn its keep again. The establishment media is already trying to bury Vance’s warning under spin, pretending this is about “abandoning allies.” No. This is about stopping the bleeding—financial, political, and moral.
Here’s the real story: The Trump peace plan reportedly offered a roadmap to stop the bloodshed and stabilize the region without dragging the U.S. further into the conflict. But Zelensky’s team—despite knowing American support is fading—dismissed it outright. Why? Because peace doesn’t pay. Defense contractors aren’t cashing in on diplomacy. NGOs and global elites don’t rake in consulting fees when the missiles stop flying. They want this war to continue indefinitely because it’s profitable, and because it keeps Washington focused on foreign battles instead of fixing our border, our economy, or our cities.
Senator Vance didn’t mince words. “If it becomes clear that the Ukrainians won’t come to the table, I think the American people are going to say, ‘Why are we spending all this money?’ And they’d be right to ask that question.” That’s the warning shot—and it’s one hell of a shift from the Biden-era foreign policy of write a check, look away.
“If it becomes clear that the Ukrainians won’t come to the table… the American people are going to say, ‘Why are we spending all this money?’” —Sen. J.D. Vance
Bottom line: Trump’s trying to shut the door on a war that should’ve ended years ago—but Zelensky and the swamp are addicted to your tax dollars. The moment America walks away, the charade collapses. And it looks like that moment just got a lot closer.
The Left’s “Wrongfully Deported” Hero? Turns Out He Was a Human Trafficker
The man at the center of a Democrat-backed immigration sob story—a so-called wrongfully deported “victim of Trump’s cruelty”—was actually working for MS-13 and running a human trafficking ring, according to a bombshell report. His name? Ever Valles. And the left fought to keep him here.
This is why border security isn’t just policy—it’s survival. While Democrats cry about “compassion,” they’re championing criminals who exploit our open-door insanity. In 2017, Valles was arrested and deported under Trump’s immigration crackdown. Progressive groups and media outlets painted him as a misunderstood youth swept up by ICE’s bigotry. Now, The Blaze confirms he was directly involved in organized trafficking tied to MS-13.
They’re hiding this because it shatters their narrative. The truth is, left-wing immigration groups aren’t vetting these cases—they’re weaponizing them. Every “injustice” is just another brick in the wall of their open-borders agenda. Meanwhile, real families are being torn apart by the crime and chaos these policies unleash.
The real impact? Stories like this are why Americans support a secure border. Not because they hate immigrants—but because they want the criminals out. Valles wasn’t a victim—he was a predator. And the people who defended him owe this country an apology.
Illegal Immigrant Killed Two Teens—Now the Left Wants Him Released Early
An illegal immigrant convicted of killing two teenage girls in a drunk driving crash is up for early release—and Karoline Leavitt from the Trump administration says not a chance. The Biden-era leniency that let criminals skate is over, and this case is the line in the sand.
This is what happens when you prioritize politics over justice. The left fought tooth and nail to end ICE detainers, reduce sentences, and give “second chances” to people who should’ve never been here in the first place. Now a man who took two innocent lives is being considered for release—and Democrats are silent.
Here’s the hypocrisy: if a conservative state tried this with a January 6 defendant, the media would riot. But when it’s an illegal immigrant with blood on his hands? Crickets. The Trump administration’s message is clear—there will be no mercy for those who kill American citizens while here illegally.
What’s really happening is the fight to restore law and order is clashing with the left’s obsession with criminal coddling. And for once, the system’s being forced to choose.
RFK Jr. Targets Synthetic Food Dyes in 'Make America Healthy Again' Initiative
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a plan to phase out eight petroleum-based synthetic food dyes, including Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, from the U.S. food supply by the end of 2026. This initiative is part of his broader "Make America Healthy Again" campaign, aiming to address potential health risks associated with these additives, particularly in children.
While some studies suggest links between these dyes and behavioral issues like hyperactivity, the FDA maintains that they are safe when used within current regulations. Kennedy's approach relies on voluntary cooperation from food manufacturers to reformulate products using natural alternatives such as beet juice and turmeric.
Critics argue that this focus on food dyes may divert attention from more pressing public health concerns, such as the prevalence of ultra-processed foods and high sugar consumption. Nonetheless, the initiative has garnered support from consumer advocacy groups and some industry players, while others remain hesitant.
The real-world impact of this policy will depend on the food industry's response and the effectiveness of voluntary compliance. As the 2026 deadline approaches, it remains to be seen how these changes will influence consumer health and industry practices.

"The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants."
— Albert Camus
Every headline in this issue is a crack in the foundation of the globalist fortress. The lies are louder because the truth is finally gaining ground. They’re losing grip on the war machine, on the border, and on the narrative—and that’s why they’re panicking.
Zelensky wants your money, RFK wants your pantry, and the left wants you blind. But the tide’s turning—and they know it.
~ Scott 🇺🇸
P.S. Here’s my take: The old playbook isn’t working anymore. Trump’s not just undoing Biden’s damage—he’s rewriting the rules. Peace through leverage. Justice through action. And maybe, finally, some damn consequences. What do you think—is this the pivot we’ve been waiting for? Or just another skirmish in a longer war?

If Deporting MS-13 Gang Members is a Constitutional Crisis, Then Let the Crisis Begin

I hope this is the pivot. It's long overdue. I want to see charges and prosecution of some of the swamp creatures. Without consequences, the swamp will continue.
I think Zelensky just 'shot himself in the foot.' I'm frankly at the point where I no longer care if the Ukraine falls. We've wasted enough money on this debacle. The EU can support this endless war, or Ukraine can make a peace deal. Either way, we need to exit.
