Absolutely rock-solid work from Zelenskyy

NOELREPORTS @noelreports.com · 2d

Zelenskyy says Ukraine will nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, if he delivers Tomahawk missiles and helps secure a ceasefire. The missiles, with 1,500 km range, would let Ukraine hit deep into Russia. Trump says he’s “sort of” decided, but wants clarity on how they'd be used.

It’s not a mistake that less than a week ago Tucker was saying “You are being played as a fool and Israel thinks you’re an idiot and they go around saying it” and where we are now

Agree, we keep an ICE SUV for long trips but I’d prefer another EV
