“I Think I Have the Right.” Trump Claims He Can Run for a Third Presidential Term. U.S. President Donald Trump has once again suggested that he should be allowed to run for a third term. Speaking at a Republican campaign rally in Iowa, Trump declared that he has “the right to run again,” according to Newsweek. Trump initially acknowledged that the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice. “Unfortunately, it's pretty concise. There's not much room for interpretation,” he said. Nevertheless, Trump argued that his situation is exceptional because he supposedly won three presidential elections. He was referring to the 2020 election, in which he still refuses to acknowledge his defeat to Joe Biden. “They cheated us the second time, because we won three times, so I think I have the right to run again. I think I have the right to run again because they cheated me,” the 45th and 47th president of the United States explained.

Perhaps it's time to apologize to Zelenskyy for the way so many people condemned his fierce confrontation with Trump in the Oval Office in 2025. Apparently, even back then, he understood that Trump might be even more corrupt in certain respects than official Kyiv. If Zelenskyy continues defending his country at least at the current pace — without somehow managing to lose even more territory — then perhaps a lot can be overlooked, including human rights issues and corruption in Kyiv. Because compared to Trump and, of course, the great “humanitarian” Putin, Zelenskyy today looks like the only person in the room talking about Europe's international security and reminding the world of Moscow's war crimes. The only thing Ukrainians must prepare for in that case is a genuine, prolonged, full-scale war, possibly following the Afghan or Vietnamese scenario. Such a war could drag on for many more years, or it could end completely unexpectedly and painfully for both the Kremlin and Kyiv. But that is the price of true independence. Nobody is going to hand it to Kyiv as a gift. Independence must be won by force. And by force alone.

Trump’s exact words when asked who called Elon Musk to restore Starlink’s speed: “I don’t want to say. I know it’s a very interesting situation. I don’t want to comment on it. You know, whether I called or someone else did, it makes absolutely no difference. I think the point is that he (Musk) restored it.” As we can now see, Washington is full of cowards. They were all squirming like snakes on a hot frying pan, desperately trying to avoid answering who ordered Starlink to be slowed down in the interests of the Russian occupiers. I don't even want to revisit how they initially denied everything, then started passing responsibility around like a hot potato once their disgraceful actions came to light. I hope the U.S. Congress eventually gets to the bottom of this: whose idea was it, and who gave the orders to act in the interests of the Russian invaders? Trump calls it an “interesting situation.” If Congress starts grilling them mercilessly over this disgraceful act, now THAT will be a truly “interesting situation.” Although these characters are perfectly capable of lying to Congress as well. And that's a whole different story. Lying to Congress can bring serious consequences of its own — provided, of course, that there is enough political will to hold them accountable.

**Zelenskyy Reveals When Ukrainians Began to Hate Russians** **This is impossible to simply forget and forgive.** The crimes committed by Russian occupying forces in occupied Ukrainian territories, particularly in the Kyiv region at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, cannot simply be forgotten or forgiven, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized. He spoke about this in *The Diary of a CEO* podcast, published on October 22. "Bucha was genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people and tortured them. We found a grave containing around 500 people. Five hundred people in one grave. Just imagine — their hands tied, tortured, and then thrown into pits... When we liberated those towns around Kyiv, that's when hatred toward Russians emerged. At that very moment. Not even when they launched the full-scale war. Back then, nobody fully understood what was happening. We understood what war really meant, and what Putin had personally done, when we discovered those mass graves of tortured adults and children," Zelenskyy said. "All of this happened a long time ago, during the first year of the full-scale war. But sometimes people need to be reminded. Imagine — God forbid — discovering a grave today in the United States or Britain containing 500 tortured people, adults and children, along with dogs and animals that had been shot. They were hunting people. People were running, and they were shooting at them. Just hunting. Like some kind of game. A form of slavery. How can you listen to Putin after that? How can you forgive something like that?" Zelenskyy asked. He emphasized that what he witnessed in Bucha changed his entire life. After seeing the atrocities, he wanted revenge against the Russians responsible. "It was a terrifying day. I had never seen anything like it in my life — bodies simply scattered across the roads... You want revenge. I had never experienced a situation where I couldn't forgive someone. I believe people make mistakes. But this is something entirely different. This is evil. The devil came and turned human beings into pieces of meat. Pieces of meat, do you understand? You want to find those people who are not human, and you want to kill them. I had never wanted to kill a single person in my life. I had never experienced that feeling. Only revenge," the Ukrainian president said.

THE RITZ-CARLTON, MOSCOW. NOVEMBER 9, 2013. — Ekaterina Vladimirovna, could you tell us more about the day Donald Trump visited Moscow? What did you see? — What did I see? I've seen plenty in my lifetime. That's my job — seeing all kinds of shit. — I'm interested in that particular day. — Well, I won't say anything bad, of course. Don't get me wrong. You meet all sorts, especially foreigners. Some are very tidy people. Nothing like our lot. Sometimes they leave twenty dollars on the bed. They say "hello" and "good morning" and smile, the bastards. Fake smiles. — But what happened on November 9, 2013? — You know why they smile? — No, but I'd really like to know... — Because they're afraid! That's why! They're afraid of us! I used to think they were polite. That they smiled out of courtesy when I walked down the corridor with my bucket and mop. Bullshit! They're scared! Putin is right about that... — Ekaterina Vladimirovna, please... — If you don't look at them, they pay no attention. But stare straight at them, and they jump in fright and say, "Hello!" Like they're talking to a dog so it won't bite them. — Thank you, Ekaterina Vladimirovna. But we're interested in November 9, 2013, when you entered Donald Trump's room at the Ritz-Carlton to clean it. What happened? Please tell our listeners what you told me. — What did I see? Shame and disgrace, that's what! I walked in because there was no "Do Not Disturb" sign. — Right... — We're very strict about that. Sign on the door — stay out. No sign — get in and clean up their shit. But sometimes they forget to hang it up. So I walk in. There's a table on the left. Except it's not standing anymore. It's lying on its side. Champagne bottles everywhere. A broken vase. And behind the table, bare legs. Though I only noticed those after I'd reached the wall. — Was it Donald Trump? — I didn't ask for his passport. Looked like him. Same funny hair swept to the side. Just like on television. Spitting image. Except naked. — Was he lying down? — Yeah. On the floor. — What was he doing? — Nothing. At first I thought he was dead. Because Lyuska and Mashka were sitting on him. — Who are Lyuska and Mashka? — You know, those... what do you call them? — Girls? — Girls, my ass! Those... well... — Escorts? — Exactly. Whores, in plain Russian. — Did you know them? — Who doesn't know Lyuska and Mashka? Half of Moscow knows them. They come to the hotel like it's their regular job. — What happened next? — Well, I turned around and froze when I saw it. — Saw what? — Sodom and Gomorrah, God forgive me! They're sitting on him completely naked, wearing nothing but stockings and high heels, and pissing all over his head! — What did you do? — I screamed, "Lyuska, you fucking whore! I'll smack you across the face with this rag! You think I'm going to clean up your piss? I'm breaking my back here for four hundred rubles, and you two have pissed all over the carpet!" — What did she say? — She didn't even stop pissing! Just said, "Auntie Katya, please don't shout. He's a VIP. I'll give you a hundred dollars to clean it up." — And Donald Trump? — He spat something out of his mouth and said, "Excuse me." Meaning, "Pardon me, madam, what's the problem?" — And you? — What could I do? I spat in disgust and went on my way. You're not allowed to clean while a guest is there. We're very strict about that. Sign on the door — stay out. No sign — get in and clean up their shit. But sometimes they forget. — And what happened afterward? — I got so furious I couldn't stand it anymore. What the hell was wrong with them? Couldn't make it to the toilet? No, they had to piss right there on the carpet! And I'm supposed to scrub it on my hands and knees? Fuck that! I quit that very day. Took off my uniform and apron, changed my shoes, and marched straight into personnel. I said, "That's it, comrades! Enough! Vasilyich, calculate my final pay effective the twentieth.

Anna Kelly, born in 1996, currently serves as Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary. She earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Auburn University and a master's in political management from George Washington University. A former Miss State Fair of Virginia, Kelly built her political career through communications roles with the Wisconsin GOP, the Republican National Committee, and Trump's presidential transition team before becoming deputy press secretary in 2025. Kelly is reportedly among the leading candidates for the position following Katie Zacharia's brief tenure, although no official appointment has been announced. The position requires neither specific academic qualifications nor Senate confirmation. The president makes the appointment directly, typically prioritizing loyalty, communication skills, and political expertise.

The Economist: The US has reportedly prepared a new peace plan for Ukraine. Ukraine would give up NATO membership, with a demilitarized zone established in Donbas. In return, Kyiv would receive investment and a path to EU membership. Russia would get sanctions relief, US economic deals, and restored relations with the West. The plan also reportedly proposes bringing Russian gas back to Europe and restarting Nord Stream.

11 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTIONS, TRUMP FINDS HIMSELF CAUGHT UP IN A PEDOPHILIA-RELATED SCANDAL The dirtiest election campaign in the United States is unfolding in the race for governor of Ohio. There, Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, trailing Democrat Amy Acton by several percentage points, released a campaign advertisement featuring Amy's mother, who urges voters not to support her daughter, calling her a "liar." Journalists began investigating the matter and uncovered a horrifying story. It turns out that when Amy Acton was 12 years old, her mother's husband — Amy's stepfather — sexually assaulted her. The girl repeatedly ran away from home until police finally arrested her stepfather. But Amy Acton's mother sided with her husband, the man who had sexually abused her own daughter. Social services investigated and removed Amy and her brother from the household, placing them in state custody. Meanwhile, Amy's mother and her abuser fled to another state to escape punishment. Just imagine how fucking horrifying that is! Logically, after learning the circumstances, Vivek Ramaswamy should have stopped airing the advertisement and apologized, since he had not known the full story. But hell no. That bastard kept running it. Then Ohio's sitting Republican governor and other influential Republicans in the state called on him to stop disgracing the party and pull the advertisement. Ramaswamy refused and turned to JD Vance and Donald Trump for support. Vance was the first to spout bullshit: politics is a tough fight. If you're not prepared to play hardball, stay out of politics. So let the advertisement keep running. Then Trump himself weighed in with a post. Here is the direct quote: "The press is trying to convince everyone that this ad is bad because it's so good! Who wouldn't use an ad like that? I would — that's called striking gold." Striking gold... You fucking animal. It seems that the allegations surrounding Trump's association with Jeffrey Epstein have done nothing to inspire any empathy in him for victims of child sexual abuse. And, of course, journalists are now tearing Trump apart over this issue. And, predictably, Trump is making excuses, claiming he knew nothing about Amy Acton's past.

Elon Musk ordered restrictions on Starshield, the military version of Starlink, in Ukraine to punish Kyiv for its strikes on Russian oil refineries, according to The Economist.

My first impression is that he's an idiot. My second impression is exactly the same. And that's not even mentioning the idiots who listen to him.

Chinese company Unitree has unveiled a security robot that is ready to die for its owner. The H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian can protect its owner from robbers, lift a car to rescue someone trapped underneath, and even throw itself under a moving vehicle to save its owner. The instruction manual specifically asks owners to treat the robot kindly. From now on, we're only going into confrontations with one of these by our side! 🤔😅 We no longer understand what's happening in this world, but we're incredibly curious to see what comes next!
