‘They Fear Peace': Putin, Trump's Secret Call Sends West Into Meltdown
In a move that has rattled western power centers, Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump held a lengthy phone call focused on the war in ukraine, global security, and bilateral cooperation. Russian officials claim the conversation took place in a constructive atmosphere—but it's the western reaction that's making headlines. Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia's sovereign fund, says the deep state and its media arms are in full panic mode over signs of possible dialogue. He accuses them of fearing stability and depending on perpetual conflict. Details from the istanbul talks and new efforts to resolve the ukraine crisis were also discussed. The call—their fourth since Trump returned to office—lasted over an hour and may signal a shift in global alignments.#putin #trump #geopolitics #UkraineCrisis #USRussiaRelations #WorldPolitics#BreakingNews #Diplomacy #GlobalTensions #PresidentialCall#DeepStatePanic #TrumpVsDeepState #PutinCallLeaked #SecretCall Read More

Trump Official Behind Controversial Russia Move Has Ties to Kremlin
Senior State Department staffer Darren Beattie, a passionate Putin supporter behind the move to dismantle a key agency fighting Russian propaganda, is married to a Russian woman whose uncle is a longtime Kremlin ally, according to The Telegraph. Yulia Kirillova grew up in Moscow, studied abroad in North America, and married Beattie in 2021 in Florida. She moved to D.C. in January. Her uncle Sergei Cherniko is a drinks magnate who had an estimated net worth of $150 million in 2005. That year, he served in Russia's ministry of natural resources and was then deputy governor of Siberia's Nenets region. Cherniko later served in Putin's civic chamber from 2008 to 2010. The relationship raises even greater scrutiny around Beattie's April decision to eliminate the Global Engagement Center, a State Department office tasked with dealing with Russian disinformation campaigns. Beattie has been a staunch supporter of Putin, setting himself apart from the traditional conservative right in Bannon-esque fashion. 'US gov't has been supporting Ukranian neo-nazi groups in its obsessive proxy war against Russia,' he wrote on X in 2022. 'State Department could sell butt plugs and forward proceeds to fund resistance effort in ukraine,' he wrote again that year. 'Iran Contra but with a modern American twist.' 'A big part of American ruling class' hatred of Russia is that Russia is a major power that rejects the woke ideology at the core of American regime,' he wrote in 2021. This is a clear conflict of interest that is extremely typical within the Trump administration. And on top of that, Beattie was initially fired from the Trump administration in 2018 for attending a white nationalist conference. He has a long history of many other deeply problematic views. 'Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work,' Beattie wrote on X in October. 'Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.' On January 6, 2021, he spent the day on X warning Senator Tim Scott, 'BLM,' Ibram X. Kendi, and Kay Cole James to 'learn their places' and 'take a knee' to MAGA. That, on top of this personal in at the Kremlin, is highly questionable behavior for a ranking official, which has been overly normalized by this administration.

"My seven-year-old son Ewan, he's adjusting, but he's also aware of all of it," Vance said. "And then we have our five-year-old son, Vivek, who I think is a little bit less aware of it," Vance continued. "To him, it's just fun. He has a bunch of Secret Service agents to play with, and he gets to go wherever he wants to, and he really likes that." Read On The Fox News App "And Mirabel, who's three, has no idea what's going on," Vance said of his youngest. Vance shared a photo of Mirabel, which he and his wife display in their home in the Naval Observatory, "in her pajamas reviewing this Indian troop formation." Exclusive: Jd Vance Explains Why Meeting Pope Francis Hours Before His Death Was 'A Sign From God' "It's so funny—it's maybe my favorite photo of the entire 100 days that we've had so far—it's very cute," Vance said. "So, you sort of see different levels of kids' understanding of it." Vance said the children "have a good school situation." "We have good friends here, and they spend a lot of time at the White House," Vance said. "Of course, our primary residence—we still have our home in Cincinnati—but our primary residence is the Naval Observatory," Vance said. "It's very isolated, so it's nice, because, for the kids, it's not like growing up in a fishbowl." Exclusive: Vance Reveals 'Empowering' Aspects Of Trump's Leadership That Enables 'Trust' And Squashes 'Turf Battles' Vance said the children "have a lot of room to run around." "There aren't cameras everywhere, and it feels very, very private—very normal for the kids—which is all we could ask for," Vance said. As for his wife, Vance said "each second lady approaches the role differently—there's not like, a manual that says—this is how you will be second lady." "I think what Usha has done is she has focused on some issues she cares about and she is very involved in the Kennedy Center—she really likes the arts and that is a project that she's taken on," Vance explained, adding that she plans to "take on additional projects." "But she also is a mom," Vance said. "And the kids are really young, and she saw this as an opportunity to try to deliver as much normalcy to the kids in a very abnormal situation." He added: "But she's doing well, and she really likes it—I think the role suits her and she's having fun. She's amazing."Original article source: Family matters: How VP Vance, wife deliver 'normalcy to the kids in a very abnormal situation'
