CONFIRMED: Peace Talks Between Russia and Ukraine to Take Place This Week in Turkey

Posted on by patriotsheart

Russian and Ukrainian delegations meet back in June 2, in Istanbul/ Wiki Commons.

Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are back on track.

It’s now confirmed that the next round of peace talks between the warring neighbors Russia and Ukraine will be held Wednesday (23) in Turkey – most probably in Istanbul, where the previous rounds took place.

Update: Russians are saying Thursday and Friday. 

Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky stated that this was confirmed by Rustem Umerov, his demoted former Defense Minister turned into the new Security and Defense Council’s head.

Discussions reportedly include a possible prisoner exchange.

DevDiscourse reported:

“Ukraine and Russia are gearing up for a significant round of peace talks scheduled to take place in Turkey on Wednesday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy disclosed this information based on reports from the head of Ukraine’s Security and Defense Council.

In his nightly address, Zelenskiy shared that discussions with Rustem Umerov are underway regarding the preparation for a prisoner exchange. He mentioned that Umerov has confirmed plans for a meeting with the Russian side in Turkey.”

Rustem Umerov, from Ukraine (left) and Russia’s Vladimir Medinsky, will continue to be leading the delegations.

Some may remember NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte dismissing the Russian delegation, saying ‘Putin did not send serious people to the negotiations’, and calling the head of the Russian side ‘some historian’.

Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman Maria Zakharova issued a fiery response: “This ‘some historian’ is an expert in international relations, a scholar, and a statesman Vladimir Medinsky. And the ‘serious delegation’ from Ukraine was headed by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Umerov, who has never served in the army and has been a manager in a telephone company all his life.”

Whatever out opinion on Medinsky’s qualification, he was the head of the Russian negotiators back in the 2022 talks, so it goes in line with Moscow’s treating these new talks as a continuation.

As for Umerov, he was demoted from the position of Defense Minister but still seems to be heading the negotiations for Kiev.

Sputnik reported:

“RUSSIA-UKRAINE TALKS UPDATE: Kremlin confirms delegation unchanged, reveals key details

Ukraine talks: Russia & Ukraine to discuss two opposing draft memoranda – ‘significant diplomatic work ahead’.”

UPDATE: A new round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will take place on July 24-25, a source in Moscow told RIA Novosti

So now we have two different dates for the talks. Stay tuned as we sort this out.

General Flynn Calls on FBI to Raid Barack Obama’s D.C. Mansion IMMEDIATELY Over Criminal Conspiracy in Russia Hoax

Posted on by patriotsheart

In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, former National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn issued a fiery demand for immediate federal action, calling on the FBI to raid Barack Obama’s Washington, D.C., mansion as part of a long-overdue investigation into the criminal conspiracy behind the now-exploded Russia collusion hoax.

Flynn, citing the same standard used to justify the unprecedented and disgraceful FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, demanded that Obama and his deep state cabal be treated the same way—raided, investigated, and prosecuted.

Flynn says this should be just the first step: revoke passports for all involved in the Russia-Gate “conspiracy,” establish task forces, secure private airfields—prevent anyone from fleeing the country.

He even suggests assembling a dedicated DOJ task force, similar to what Hunter Biden allegedly faced, and appoint a “dedicated prosecutor.”

BENNY JOHNSON: General, your name is mentioned in these documents. You’ve been on our program for years. You’ve been writing books. You’ve been crying out from the wilderness about what they did to you. What a remarkable moment. And the floor is yours. The landscape has been set. General, what do you see happening next?

MICHAEL FLYNN: Yeah. Well, a couple of things. I — and I have made this recommendation that I think that all of these people that are involved, starting with Obama on down, they all ought to have their passports revoked, and people need to be checking private airplanes and private airfields for anybody trying to abscond the country and get the heck out of dodge here. So, that’s number one.

I do think that just as was done to President Trump, when they when they raided his home at Mar-a- Lago because they thought that there was — and they planted evidence there in that case — but I do think that what the DOJ should be considering, if not getting ready to conduct, is a raid of Barack Obama’s home up there at Kalorama, in Washington DC where he’s been since he left — you know, physically left the White House. You know, he’s been running the White House, you know, all during the Biden regime.

And I do think that there’s some other places that need to be raided where there are likely, you know, a lot of evidence, a lot of receipts, so to speak, in many of these people that are part of the Obama White House as well as the Biden White House. I mean, I just heard the great David Schoen talking about the former deputy attorney general of Monaco who also was the homeland security adviser to Barack Obama. So that’s number one. That’s — those are, you know, things that need to be considered right now. And I’m — I was ready to wake up this morning to hear about some of these raids that should have been going on.

There should, as a minimum, be a task force assembled by — of federal law enforcement authorities as well as a assigned dedicated, you know, prosecutor at the DOJ level, at the attorney general level, someone who is working directly for her and for the president of the United States. This has gotta happen very quickly.

Gen. Mike Flynn will be one of the featured guest speakers at the most important conference of the decade — “VINDICATED: American Heroes Who Stood Up to the Deep State” — presented by The Gateway Pundit in Las Vegas. Buy your tickets here.

PANIC IN HOLLYWOOD: Netflix Reportedly Begins Using Controversial AI Video Generation Software, Disney Said to Be Testing the Technology

Posted on by patriotsheart

AI-Generated image by Grok – Artificial Intelligence invades Hollywood.

The bots are taking over Tinseltown.

The day many feared and even protested in advance has come: AI video-generating tools are starting to be widely used in the entertainment industry, to the chagrin and desperation of those expendable human professionals.

Netflix has reportedly ‘begun using artificial intelligence video generation software from startup Runway AI’, pioneering the use of the technology that’s bound to generate a lot of controversy.

Bloomberg reported:

“Netflix is currently using the New York-based startup’s tools in content production, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named in order to discuss private conversations. Netflix declined to comment.

Walt Disney Co., meanwhile, has been testing out Runway’s technology and has talked with the startup about possible uses for its generative AI tools, the person said. A Disney spokesperson said the company has no plans to integrate Runway’s software into its content production pipeline at this time. Runway declined to comment.”

As much as it’s going to be unpopular, AI speeds up some video production tasks and saves money – so you bet it’s here to stay.

“In a conference call Thursday, after Netflix released its second-quarter results, co-Chief Executive Officer Ted Sarandos said the company is using AI in content production. That includes creating special effects shots more quickly and cheaply than it previously had been able to with traditional visual effects tools and processes.”

Netflix used the ‘taboo’ technology for the first time on screen to depict a building collapse.

“Runway is competing in an increasingly crowded corner of the fast-growing market for AI tools with established companies like OpenAI and Google, along with a slew of smaller, newer startups.

The startup has more traction than most AI startups in Hollywood, however. It kicked off a frenzy around AI video generators in early 2023 with the release of a model that could produce slightly choppy-looking three-second clips based on written prompts such as ‘drone footage of a desert landscape’. Its technology has since become far more capable and the company has inked a deal with Lionsgate to train an AI model on the studio’s content that can be used in its film projects.”

(VIDEO) Karoline Leavitt Says Maria Salazar’s Mass Amnesty Bill is Not “The Focus of the White House Right Now” – Again Does Not Say What President Trump Wants to See in a “Work Program” for Alien Workers

Posted on by patriotsheart

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt speaks to reporters – July 21, 2025

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday responded to a bipartisan amnesty bill, introduced last week in the House of Representatives, saying “the President does not support amnesty for illegal alien criminals,” but she declined to further explain his past comments on a “work program” for illegal aliens. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Maria Salazar’s (R-FL) Dignity Act, sponsored by ten Republicans and ten Democrats, would grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who are currently living and working in the United States.

The bill would give a seven-year legal status, which can be renewed, to illegal aliens and “legal status and a path to permanent residency” to so-called “dreamers.”

It would even give protections and a pathway to citizenship for criminals like El Salvadoran MS-13 gang member Kimar Garcia Abrego, who the Trump Administration is still trying to deport after a judge ordered his return from an El Salvadoran prison.

The President has said that he does not support amnesty, but that his administration is doing a “work program” for illegal farm and hospitality workers. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer, who previously co-sponsored the Dignity Act in 2023, has said the Trump Administration’s work program will include “streamlining” the work visa process for illegals currently in the country.

It appears, based on public statements and Chavez-Deremer’s past support for this measure, that the President is being pressured by some to support this bill. Asked if Rep. Salazar has spoken to Secretary Chavez-Deremer or anybody from the White House about the leglislation or whether Chavez-Deremer still supports the bill, Rep. Salazar’s office did not respond.

This comes after Charlie Kirk claimed on his show that the President was being pressured by “high-level people” to sign a bipartisan mass amnesty deal to grant amnesty for 25 million+ people who are in our country illegally. Maria Salazar, the bill’s sponsor, stated that “over 10 million” illegal aliens will receive legal status under her bill.

Leavitt told reporters on Monday that Salazar’s bill is currently not on the White House’s radar, but the President does not support amnesty, and she will have more information to share in the future.

“The tragic circumstance that took place in New York City this past weekend underscores the priority of this President to secure our homeland and to deport illegal alien criminals and public safety threats from our country and our community,” Leavitt said.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the assault of an off-duty Border Patrol officer in New York City, where two illegal aliens attempted to rob the officer and one shot him in the face on Saturday.

This is even more reason why President Trump should oppose any form of amnesty or work visa allowances for those in our country illegally.

As Leavitt told reporters in her first press briefing on January 28, “if you are an individual, a foreign national, who illegally enters the United States of America, you are, by definition, a criminal.” If the Trump administration is focused on deporting “illegal alien criminals,” that should go for the farm and hospitality workers too. 

Leavitt declined to say what the President wants to see in a “work program” but reiterated his opposition to amnesty for “illegal alien criminals.” She did not answer a shouted follow-up question.

WATCH:

Conradson: Has the White House taken a position on Maria Salazar’s work visa bill and, ideally, what does the President want to see with a work program for aliens?

Leavitt: I know you asked me about that last week, and I regret to inform you, my answer remains the same. I don’t think that’s the focus of the White House right now in terms of legislative priorities, but, certainly, I promise you we will get a readout on the bill. But as I reiterated to you before, the President does not support amnesty for illegal alien criminals. And I think the tragic circumstance that took place in New York City this past weekend underscores the priority of this President to secure our homeland and to deport illegal alien criminals and public safety threats from our country and our community. That’s this president’s President’s priority.

Leavitt responded to the legislation last week, telling reporters that the President had not seen the legislation and that he “will not support amnesty for illegal aliens in any way.” However, she declined to define the conditions of a “work program” versus amnesty.

SHOCK VIDEO: Illegal Alien Involved in Shooting Border Patrol Agent in the Face Dumps Body of His Wounded Accomplice and Flees (VIDEO)

Posted on by patriotsheart

The illegal alien involved in the shooting of an off-duty patrol agent in New York City on Saturday night drove his moped to a hospital, dumped the body of his injured accomplice and fled.

WATCH:

According to reports, two men on a moped approached the off-duty agent and his female friend while they were sitting next to the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park.

One suspect, Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, an illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, fired shots at the off-duty agent, striking him in the face and arm.

The agent shot back multiple times and wounded Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez.

The Border Patrol agent underwent surgery and is expected to survive.

Both of the illegal aliens involved in the shooting are now in custody.

The Department of Homeland Security released footage of the illegal alien ambushing and shooting the Border Patrol agent in NYC.

WATCH:

The illegal alien who shot the off-duty agent had prior felony arrests and a deportation order.

“The officer, who was off duty at the time, is currently in the hospital in stable condition. One of the alleged perpetrators was an illegal alien with prior arrests for felony 2nd and 3rd degree assault and an order of deportation,” The Department of Homeland Security said.

BREAKING: Ex-Officer Convicted in Breonna Taylor Case Sentenced to Three Years, Despite Not Shooting Her and DOJ Recommending No Prison

Posted on by patriotsheart

A federal judge has sentenced Former Louisville Metro Police Department Detective Brett Hankison to nearly three years in prison for using excessive force during the 2020 deadly Breonna Taylor raid, despite the Justice Department recommending that he not serve any time.

Hankison fired his weapon, but did not shoot anyone during the fatal raid.

Taylor was killed during a knock-and-announce drug raid on March 13, 2020, during which her boyfriend shot at police and they returned fire. LMPD Sgt. Jon Mattingly was shot during the exchange and has now recovered.

During the incident, Hankison fired ten shots through a window, though they are not the ones that struck Taylor. The officers who shot Taylor were not charged because they were returning fire as her boyfriend shot at them.

Hankison was the only officer on the scene who was charged in connection with the incident. The Justice Department argued that Hankison does not need to serve time as he is not a danger to the public.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, appointed by President Donald Trump, stated that not giving him any prison time “is not appropriate” and sentenced him to 33 months behind bars and three years of supervised release.

Taylor’s family had urged the judge to ignore the recommendation and impose a harsher sentence. Lawyers representing the family called it an “insult” that sets a “dangerous precedent.”

Justice Department Says Former Officer Convicted Over Breonna Taylor’s Death During Raid Should Serve Just One Day in Jail

The lawyers added that the recommendation “sends the unmistakable message that white officers can violate the civil rights of Black Americans with near-total impunity.”

Taylor’s death led to riots in the streets during the height of the Black Lives Matter mayhem nationwide.

DOJ Charges Florida Man For Allegedly Threatening to Kill ‘Everyone”on the Epstein Client List, Which the FBI and DOJ Said Did Not Exist

Posted on by patriotsheart

Why did the courts deny The Gateway Pundit a copy of Epstein’s client list based on an anonymous John Doe who was on the list?

The United States Department of Justice has arrested and charged a Florida man with threatening to kill several people on a client list it says does not exist.

Courtwatch reported that Terrell Bailey-Corsey of Manatee, Florida, was arrested Friday for allegedly tweeting at X’s AI agent, Grok, that he would “kill everyone on the (Epstein) list,” including a number of politicians.

Police authorities allege that Bailey-Corsey posted multiple messages on X and Facebook in the last week threatening physical harm against those on the Epstein list.

“Well @grok, you’re wrong. Everyone involved if I see them in real life I will KILL. On sight. With a machete so everyone can see the blood and gore of the moment. You can’t fear death so you can’t understand. I will KILL EVERYONE ON THE LIST,” Bailey-Corsey allegedly tweeted on July 15 at X’s Grok.

He also allegedly threatened to assassinate three unnamed government officials in an R-rated, all-caps post an hour later on X.

Credit: U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida

Court documents reveal that Bailey-Corsey allegedly made similar threatening posts dating back to June 22.

Authorities said they were able to match Bailey-Corsey’s X and Facebook accounts by comparing his profile pictures and account usernames, “enigmagistus” and “enigmagistis.” Neither of his social media accounts revealed his partisan affiliation.

Law enforcement said they interviewed Bailey-Corsey on July 17, where he reportedly admitted his guilt.

According to Courtwatch, Bailey-Corsey faces one count of transmitting an interstate threat.

The FBI and DOJ previously determined Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list that he used for blackmail.

The FBI also determined that Epstein did commit suicide in August 2019.

NEW: Thune Responds to Trump’s Request to Cancel August Recess to Get Judicial Nominees Confirmed

Posted on by patriotsheart

Senate Majority Leader John Thune responded to President Trump’s request to cancel August recess.

President Trump on Saturday evening called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel August recess to get his judicial nominees confirmed.

Trump called on Thune to work through August to confirm the backlog of judicial nominees.

“Hopefully the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed. We need them badly!!! DJT” Trump said on Saturday evening.

On Sunday, Thune slammed the Democrats for obstructing Trump’s judicial nominees.

Thune said the Democrats have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

“[The Democrats] are making it extremely difficult to get any of the president’s nominees through the process here – it’s obstruct, it’s delay – it’s block. That’s been the pattern and it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display here in the United States Senate,” Thune said.

On Monday, Thune told reporters that he’s thinking about canceling the August recess.

“We’re thinking about it. We want to get as many nominees through the pipeline as we can,” Thune said.

“we’re going to be looking at all the options in the next weeks to try and get as many of those across the finish line as we can,” he said.
