Tough-talking White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller has been on a roll lately, dropping brutal hot take after hot take and explaining to the lamestream media just how the Trump administration has been killing it despite the whining liberal naysayers.
You’d therefore have to expect that he’d have something to say about the epic SmackDown at The Oval™ Friday afternoon between President Donald Trump, VP JD Vance, and the ungrateful Volodymyr Zelensky. As we’ve reported, the Ukrainian president seemed to think he held the winning cards and was the man in charge, even though he was sitting in the office of the most powerful man in the world.
We know how that went.
Miller, who’s quite adept at breaking things down in a forceful and succinct manner that drives liberals insane, was deeply unimpressed. Appearing on Fox News’ Jesse Watters show Friday night, the Trump advisor was appalled that the Ukrainian leader seemed to have no interest in an immediate end to the bloodshed:
Miller: There are many remarkable and disturbing things that Zelensky said. He repeatedly rejected President Trump’s statement that we should pursue a ceasefire.
Watters: Right. What is that?
Miller [gettin’ fired up]: How could you reject a ceasefire?!
And you know, he kept saying Europe’s doing so much more than us. Well, then, what do you need us for? If he’s saying Europe’s so great, then why are you coming and begging and pleading to us for money and protection and guarantees?
President Trump is a peacemaker—he will fight for peace. He had peace for four years under his previous term, and today we saw what it’s like to have a strong leader in the White House, and the whole world saw what it’s like to have a strong leader for America. […]
🚨 Stephen Miller just laid the HAMMER down on Zelensky

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
