Craig Bannister, MRCTV.org
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy now says he’s ready to follow President Donald Trump’s leadership to quickly craft an end to the Russia-Ukraine war – and to sign the minerals deal with the U.S. he rejected Friday. “My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts,” Pres. Zelenskyy announced on X.com Tuesday, the day after the U.S. stopped providing aid to his country’s fight against Russian aggression. “We are ready to work fast to end the war,” Zelenskyy wrote.

US Tariffs on Canada, Mexico Take Effect; China Levies Double
Andrew Moran, The Epoch Times
President Donald Trump’s long-awaited tariffs on Canada and Mexico have gone into effect, while U.S. levies on China doubled. Beginning on March 4, goods imported from the North American neighbors will be slapped with 25 percent tariffs, the president confirmed. Last year, the U.S. economy imported nearly $1 trillion worth of goods from the nation’s two top trading partners. Trump issued an executive order amending the existing 10 percent across-the-board tariffs on China early last month, raising them to 20 percent from March 4.

The Evil People Surrounding Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Scott McKay, The American Spectator
Zelenskyy blew up that meeting because he was told to. Not by his own people or the Ukrainians who advise him, but by the globalist elite cabal, among whose members are Americans like Susan Rice, Alexander Vindman, Victoria Nuland, and Antony Blinken, who are desperate to keep the Ukraine War going to further their pecuniary and political aims. Even if it means American troops get thrown into the meat grinder that is the Ukraine War. In fact, that is quite obviously the ultimate aim. The evil at work here is astounding.

Tim Walz Says He’s Considering a Run For President in 2028
Debra Heine, American Greatness
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said Sunday that he would “certainly consider” running for president in 2028, despite his disastrous White House bid alongside failed presidential nominee Kamala Harris, last November. “If I think I could offer something … I would certainly consider that,” he told the New Yorker Radio Hour during its March 2 broadcast. One of the reasons Kamala Harris reportedly chose Walz to be her running mate in 2024 was because he had indicated that he had no presidential ambitions. "I was honored to be asked."

Pro-lifers continue to urge DOGE to defund Planned Parenthood, but they aren’t putting all their eggs in Elon Musk’s basket. As pro-life groups fight to remove federal funding from Planned Parenthood in the budget, conservatives warn against allowing pro-abortion misinformation to derail efforts to defund the abortion giant. Pro-abortion activists are citing a 2015 report from the Congressional Budget Office estimating that defunding Planned Parenthood would increase direct spending by $130 million during the 2016-2025 period.

Trump vows to jail, deport campus agitators, cut funding over ‘illegal protests’
Valerie Richardson, Washington Times
President Trump promised to imprison or deport campus agitators and halt federal funding to schools that allow “illegal protests,” weighing in hours after his administration threatened to suspend federal grants to Columbia University over its handling of campus antisemitism. “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” Mr. Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social. “Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came,” he said.
 

The Mendacious Media Coverage of Zelensky’s Stunt
David Catron, The American Spectator
The dust-up was obviously caused by Volodymyr Zelensky. Let's review the guy’s history. As Victor Davis Hanson reminds us, “Zelensky has postponed elections, outlawed opposition media and parties, suspended habeas corpus and walked out of negotiations when he had an even hand in Spring 2022.” This man clearly believes peace will end his brief destructive political career — and he is right. The media have consistently portrayed this character as a Churchillian statesman. It’s balderdash. Time to give this clown the hook.
