WHO THE HELL DID MELANIA TRUMP WELCOME TO THE WHITE HOUSE YESTERDAY?
Well, this gets better. And by “better,” I mean a spectacular fucking disaster.
Yesterday, Melania Trump publicly thanked Russian official Yana Lantratova for her humanitarian work.
How sweet.
One tiny detail: Lantratova is under US sanctions, and Ukrainian authorities have accused her of involvement in the abduction and forced transfer of children from occupied Kherson.
But wait. That's just the appetizer.
Lantratova also happens to be co-chair of the International Club of National Unity, a Russian organization established in 2025 to promote Moscow's interests abroad under the charming banner of “traditional spiritual and moral values.”
And what a delightful little club it is!
Her fellow co-chair is Mykola Azarov, Ukraine's former prime minister, who fled to Russia after Euromaidan.
Its leadership includes Aleksandr Dugin, the ideologue of Russian imperialism; Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat forces; senior Kremlin officials, propagandists, and assorted professional Putin enthusiasts.
Now comes the really juicy part.
The club's published membership list includes Sergey Panteleyev, identified by the European Union as an officer of GRU Unit 54777, the Russian military intelligence outfit described by The Washington Post as a nerve center of Moscow's psychological warfare operations.
And sitting on the club's presidium? Aleksandr Ionov, a man the US Justice Department charged with orchestrating an FSB-directed influence operation involving American political organizations, Russian propaganda, and interference in US elections.
Yes. That American Justice Department.
The international cast is equally entertaining.
The club has published the names of Tucker Carlson, Jeffrey Sachs, Scott Ritter, and former CIA analyst Larry Johnson in various roles or membership lists. Carlson's name later disappeared; Ritter has participated in club events, while Johnson remains listed on its presidium. A name appearing on a Russian organization's website does not, by itself, establish someone's consent to membership.
And for a little extra flavor, there's Viktor Bout, the notorious Russian arms dealer once imprisoned in the United States.
This isn't some secret dossier leaked by an intelligence agency.
THE RUSSIANS PUT THE FUCKING ROSTER ON THEIR OWN WEBSITE.
The club produces propaganda programming, organizes international events, and promotes Russian political narratives abroad. Researchers were examining its intelligence connections well before yesterday's White House circus.
So let's appreciate the full absurdity.
At an event supposedly devoted to helping Ukrainian civilians suffering under Russian occupation, the First Lady of the United States publicly honored a Russian official accused of involvement in the forced transfer of Ukrainian children.
An official who also co-chairs a Kremlin-aligned influence network whose published roster includes a GRU officer and a man charged by the US government with working for the FSB.
And Melania thanked her for bringing hope and dignity to victims of the war.
You couldn't write this shit as satire. The writers would reject it for being too fucking ridiculous.
Apparently, the new White House humanitarian protocol is simple:
Accused of taking Ukrainian children? Come on in!
Connected to a propaganda club featuring Russian military intelligence? Lovely!
Under American sanctions? Don't be shy!
Welcome to the White House. Would you like a medal with your propaganda?

After 40 years in the CAF, I can say this outright misinformation. Your petition is pure rage-farming bullshit. Our chaplains are there to support anyone who needs them, and modern service reflects members of all faiths and none. Keep your deceitful narratives out of our military
Freedom of religion and conscience must be protected in our Canadian Armed Forces.
Our military chaplains have a long tradition of providing spiritual support to those who serve. They should not be prevented from expressing their faith through prayer at official Remembrance Day ceremonies.
I encourage Canadians to sign my colleague @StephanieKusie's petition calling on the Minister of National Defence to reverse this directive and uphold religious freedom.

The bots are back in full force helping push propagandist Moose on the Loose’s “warning about Carney”. It’s trending in Canada.
Who is paying for this?
Is this messaging being amplified by foreign adversaries?

These right wing assholes spent YEARS trying to make me quit. They doxxed my family, made deepfakes of me, body shamed me, spread lies about me, and relentlessly ridiculed me. I was literally seventeen years old getting death threats from thousands of strangers because I dared to be a liberal teenager in Texas. They did everything they could to make me stop.
Well tough shit!
I was a nineteen-year-old community college student in Texas who raised $2 million for abortion funds when our state was threatening to put doctors in prison for life. I’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for candidates, helped build the first statewide creator program in Texas history, and spent countless hours knocking doors, making calls, and organizing across this state. From Waco, to San Antonio, El Paso, Houston, Dallas, Fort Bend, and everything in between. Often times on my own dime or without pay because all I cared about was winning.
I’ve spent six years doing this. The candidates, elected officials, precinct chairs, and community leaders I’ve worked with haven’t just gotten to know me. They’ve literally watched me grow up. I’m so emotional because I’m realizing that I spent my early adulthood fighting for a Texas I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to see. I was fighting for the state while growing up and changing myself too. AND CHANGE HAS COME! I moved across the state this year to our beautiful capital and now I intend to be there to help Democrats spread the message to the public about the good things they’re about to do.
That’s all that matters. Doing good for the people of Texas.
So to all those fuckers who tried to make me feel like I didn’t belong or that it wasn’t worth it- get bent. Enjoy your cheaper healthcare and better schools - I worked for you to have them even though you worked against me.

When you get OSAP — at least for my daughter — you can’t misuse it. It goes straight on your tuition and you get the bill for the rest.

“She has lied and people have died.”
Moments ago at Queen’s Park: NDP MPP Robin Lennox is kicked out of the chambers for calling Health Minister Sylvia Jones a liar, following revelations that Ontario refused to fund Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment despite its own health agency’s recommendation.
She really is off the deep end .....

And right on cue, the dumbfuck brigade finds its new grievance- when you’re all out of antivax propaganda, freedumb convoy bullshit, Plandemic nonsense, Allison “inquiry” comedy, Alberta separation & stupid ostrich drama you need to move on to Russian hockey players.
It’s all the same people. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Fucking idiots, all of them. 🇺🇦🇨🇦

1 million views. Before I published this video, I spoke with multiple production studios about a potential documentary. They all passed because it was "too niche" or wouldn't get wide viewership.
So I bought a $700 camera and filmed it in my apartment.
