Zelensky is moving against all opponents.

As we have been reporting here in TGP, the leader of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, is flexing his power, setting his security agencies against all his political rivals in the country.

Yesterday (14), in as move many see as illegal, Zelensky revoked the citizenship of Odesa’s mayor and instituting a military rule in the important Black Sea port.

Mayor Trukhanov was targeted for supposedly ‘having a Russian passport’.

With a military administrator chosen by him in charge of the city, Zelensky would obtain more direct control over the city.

Reuters reported:

“Hennadiy Trukhanov, 60, an elected official, said he would take his case to court, denying having a Russian passport and insisting that he remained mayor. Ukrainian officials are prohibited from holding dual citizenship.”

Zelensky vowed to appoint someone soon to head up the military administration of the city.

“’Too many security issues in Odesa have remained unresolved for too long’, he said.

The remarks echoed his comments from last week, in which he accused Odesa’s ‘local leaders’ of failing to do enough to protect residents from flooding last month that killed 10 people.”

The Ukrainian domestic security agency SBU stated that it had evidence Trukhanov had a valid Russian passport, posting a picture on Telegram that many see as a crude falsification.

“Trukhanov said in a video address: ‘I will appeal the decision to strip me of my Ukrainian citizenship in the Supreme Court. And, if that is not enough, I will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights’.”

Trukhanov became a target of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis for speaking out against the Ukrainian movement of ‘de-Russification’ and the dismantling of Odessa’s statues to Russia’s Catherine the Great – who founded the port in 1794 – and to Alexander Pushkin, the Russian playwright.

RT reported:

“In an interview with the New York Times […] Trukhanov said that he was against renaming the city’s central Pushkin Street, named after the famous 19th century Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.

‘I would not support that. [Odessa] is the intercultural capital of Ukraine. I am worried by the growth of hatred of all things Russian’, the mayor claimed.”

‘Trump’s Favorite Democrat’: Pennsylvania Dems Start Planning Senator John Fetterman’s Ouster

Pennsylvania Democrats are reportedly planning the ouster of Senator John Fetterman in the 2028 elections.

Fetterman, who won his Senate race in 2022 against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, has become a thorn in the side of some Democrats who perceive him as too moderate for their liking.

While Fetterman’s views mostly align with those of the Democratic Party, he has taken a vocal stand on the matter of Israel’s war in Gaza and shown a willingness to work with the Trump administration.

Yet Axios reports that many Democrats are already on maneuvers.

Their report states:

Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest, threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation.

Democrats haven’t flipped a GOP Senate seat since Fetterman did it in 2022. He’s still popular with Pennsylvania voters, even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.

Potential Democratic challengers are already bashing Fetterman — and each other — years ahead of schedule.

Some Democratic officials are openly contemplating running against Fetterman or keeping the door open to a Senate bid in the event he retires.

Fetterman’s most important contribution involves improving civil discourse, insisting that he will not follow the lead of fellow Democrats in calling Trump and Republicans fascists.

He said during an event this week:

I know and I love people who voted for President Trump. They are NOT fascists, they’re NOT Nazis, they’re NOT trying to destroy the Constitution. I REFUSE to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody — anybody to Hitler.

Like Charlie Kirk, all I could say is let people grieve — give people the space. I’m not going to use that terrible thing and that assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views.”

It’s like, my God, he’s a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet. And now people have forgotten: President Trump was in my state — was shot in the head. Could you imagine where our nation would be if he were hit in the same way as Kirk? We really got to turn the temperature down,.

NEW: Appeals Court Upholds Biden Judge’s Block on Trump Troop Deployment in Chicago

Published

By

A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld a Biden judge’s block on Trump’s National Guard troop deployment to Chicago.

A federal judge last Thursday issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) blocking President Trump’s National Guard deployment in Chicago.

US District Judge April Perry, a Biden appointee, said Trump’s troop deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act as well as the 10th and 14th Amendments.

President Trump mobilized Texas National Guard Troops and sent them to Chicago to protect ICE agents from violent far-left Antifa terrorists.

“The National Guard’s mission in Chicago is to protect federal lives and property that are facing constant criminal assault. The guard protecting DHS is activated under *federal control* and therefore, like any federal troops, can emanate from any state if such resources prove necessary to DHS (the way troops are pulled from any base). They are operating as a federal force protecting federal assets,” White House Advisor Stephen Miller said.

Last Saturday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals lifted Judge Perry’s Temporary Restraining Order on Trump’s mobilization of National Guard Troops.

However, the Seventh Circuit left in place Judge Perry’s block on troop deployment in a one-page order.

Now this…

On Thursday, the Seventh Circuit unanimously upheld Judge Perry’s order blocking President Trump’s troop deployment.

The three-judge panel included: Rovner (George H. W. Bush), Hamilton (Obama) and St. Eve (George W. Bush).

The appeals court judges agreed with Judge Perry’s assertion that there was “insufficient evidence of rebellion or a danger of a rebellion.”

The judicial coup continues.

Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, recently blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.

Last Wednesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously voted to lift Judge Immergut’s Temporary Restraining Order on Trump’s mobilization of Oregon National Guard Troops.

However, the Ninth Circuit left in place Judge Immergut’s block on troop deployment.

Victor Reacts: Bad Guests Get Asked to Leave! – Student Visas Are Not a Right (VIDEO)

Person speaking in front of a neutral background discusses the State Department's visa revocation for foreigners celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder.

People who are in our country as guests with student visas should be on their best behavior.

They should honor the fact that they have been allowed to come to this country and not go around acting foolish or causing trouble.

Instead, some visa holders decided to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

The State Department has started revoking visas for foreigners found to have celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Following Kirk’s brutal assassination during a speaking event at Utah Valley University last month, many leftists took to social media to celebrate his death.

Some of those individuals happened to be guests in the United States.

In a post on the X platform, the State Department said it had “no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”

“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the department wrote.

“President Trump and Secretary Rubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws,” they added.

“Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”

The State Department is absolutely right to ask bad guests to leave.

If you invited me to stay at your home as a guest, and I decided to mock the recent passing of your loved one, you would surely revoke my invitation to stay there.

Visas are no different. If they are going to cause trouble and be a bad guest they should be asked to leave.

22 CFR § 42.82:

“A consular officer, the Secretary, or any Department official to whom the Secretary has delegated this authority is authorized to revoke an immigrant visa at any time, in his or her discretion.”

The Secretary of State has the full legal authority to do this.
