Why Tucker’s Traffic Collapsed?

Did Ukraine bombing Russian data centers lead to a collapse in Tucker Carlson’s web traffic? That’s the contention of Ukraine President Volodyrmr Zelensky, defending his bombing spree.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report here shares a clip of his talk with Melissa Chen and Winston Marshall about Zelensky’s claim. The background: After some Yandex data centers were destroyed in Russia, there was a noticeable drop in views for Tucker Carlson. Zelensky says this proves how many of Carlson’s views are being generated by Russian bot farms.

Rubin’s two guests have quite the diverse global perspective. Chen is a social media pundit based in Singapore, while Marshall is a former member of the British folk rock band Mumford & Sons. He now has his own political and cultural podcast The Winston Marshall Show.

 

Ukraine Relations Hit The Skids

President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are heading toward another diplomatic confrontation. After Trump announced an agreement easing restrictions on Russian diesel exports, Zelensky publicly criticized the decision.

Trump responded by questioning Ukraine’s leadership as tensions over the war intensified. Now, new questions are emerging about U.S. intelligence support after Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv without advance warnings from Western partners.

Is Washington reducing its support for Ukraine, or was this a failure to detect a particular attack?

On America Now with Ben Swann, we examine the growing disagreement between Trump and Zelensky, the role of Russian energy exports, Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil refineries, and reports of a proposed peace framework involving security guarantees and territorial concessions. With Ukraine still dependent on American military technology and intelligence, what happens if the relationship between Washington and Kyiv deteriorates further?

Russia Releases Diesel Supplies

Susan Kokinda opens with two announcements: President Trump’s Truth Social post on his call with Vladimir Putin, in which Russia agreed to immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the American and global market, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court.

She argues both are part of the administration’s war on the post-war globalist system and on one of its architects, George Soros.

The episode follows the pressure campaign since the strikes on Iran seven months ago, from shipping insurance in the Strait of Hormuz to diesel prices going into the November 3 midterms, the G7’s release of 100 million barrels, the Treasury license authorizing Russian diesel through April 2027, the President thanking Putin, and the objections from Ukraine’s President Zelensky and the advocacy group Razom for Ukraine.

It then turns to Rubio’s case against the ICC, the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Navi Pillay, a former ICC judge, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and chair of the UN commission on Gaza, the Nobel committee’s statement on international law, and President Trump’s response. It closes with Rubio’s speech on Western civilization in Athens, set against the philosophy of Soros’s mentor Karl Popper, and the President’s Columbus Day proclamation quoting Pope Leo XIII’s 1892 encyclical on Columbus.

The Lion Is Taking Out Jackals

The [Deep State] thought they had President Donald Trump where they wanted him. Now, he has turned the tables on the [Deep State].

He blamed Zelensky, the European Union, Democrats for the gas prices because of the war with Russia and they fell right for the trap.

Trump has taken Greenland away from the [Deep State]. Russian sanction are really against the other countries working with Russia.

Trump, who is the lion, is taking out the jackals one by one. They thought they were in control.

They were never in control. They were brought down a path and now Trump has them exactly where he wants them. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Donroe Doctrine Goes Live

The Kremlin released rare footage of a high-level meeting between Vladimir Putin and Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, followed by their first trip to Kyiv this term and a comparatively restrained response from Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signaling revived U.S. diplomacy on Ukraine.

The script argues Putin views the American team as a more trusted broker than European leaders and notes a recent sequence of engagements, including CIA Director  John Ratcliffe’s public Moscow visit and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s G20 outreach to Russia’s finance minister.

With Kirill Dmitriev present, Moscow described detailed discussions of major U.S.-Russia economic projects, alongside claims that Bessent is choking off offshore and banking channels funding Ukraine via Europe, the United Kingdom and Canada.

It then pivots to Argentina’s renewed Malvinas/Falklands push as Trump publicly and reportedly reconsiders automatic U.S. support for British sovereignty, recalling internal U.S. divisions during the 1982 war. Here’s more from Susan Kokinda with Promethean Updates.

Deep State: Low On Ammo

The [Deep State] is watching their system being dismantled right in front of their eyes. They cannot stop it.

Every time a judge tries a delay tactic, they are building a firewall for the people in the future. Zelensky and the [Deep State] are trying to bring Ukraine into the fight by saying Russia is involved with Iran. The [Deep State] is trying to start WWIII.

Trump sent a message. We are in the 8th round and the [Deep State] is getting tired of throwing punches. They have no ammunition left. The knockout is coming soon. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Now, They All Will Lose

President Donald Trump played the [Deep State] players and they fell right into his trap. First it was Zelensky then Spain. They folded and gave Trump what he wanted. Now, he is using the leverage to Greenland.

The [Deep State] thought Trump failed with Iran with the Memorandum of Understanding. He knew Iran would violate it. He took the time to plan the next move to keep fuel prices steady and monitor everything they were doing.

Harmeet Dhillon put the [Deep State] players on notice, letting them know if you assist in rigging the election or allow non-citizens to vote, you will be arrested. Now, they all lose. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Has Putin Killed Zelensky?

The Russian Army is claiming it has assassinated the Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. In a post on X viewed more than two million times, the Russian Army claimed, “Reports claim a Russian airstrike targeted a secure location in Ukraine, allegedly killing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukrainian media is reportedly covering the incident, though official confirmation remains pending.”

There has been no confirmation from Ukraine or from Western media resources, though, so this report could well be propaganda. Western sources, in fact, scoffed, saying a Russian Army post showing an explosion in Ukraine is actually old footage of a fireworks factory explosion that happened in Communist China a decade ago. Also, the Russian Army account has been traced to southern Asia, so isn’t at all likely authentic.

We’ll bring you updates if there’s any proof a killer strike actually occurred. Here, in a video from APT, Zelensky issued a warning to Ukraine residents of new, massive Russian airstrikes. “Please take care of yourselves,” he told Ukraine listeners.

SAVE Act On Life Support

This weekend, while corporate media chases shiny distractions, five huge Trump stories are breaking that actually matter to your life and to America’s future. First, there’s quiet but very good news on the SAVE America Act. After four Republicans betrayed voters on the first vote, a second vote flipped when Senator Susan Collins changed to “yes” following a conversation with Senator Mike Lee. That gives Trump 50 GOP votes plus VP J.D. Vance for a functional 51‑vote majority. The bill still needs 60 votes under the filibuster, but this proves that if the filibuster ever drops, Trump has the raw votes to ram through major election‑integrity reforms and big pieces of his agenda.

At the same time, the swamp is fighting back hard. A left‑wing federal judge just shredded one of Trump’s common‑sense immigration safeguards, blocking a policy that put green cards, work permits, and some asylum decisions on hold for people from 39 high‑risk countries after an Afghan migrant allegedly shot two National Guard troops. Trump based the pause on security data and taxpayer costs; the judge smeared it as “anti‑immigrant,” reopening the pipeline and putting foreign interests ahead of American workers.

Out in California, confidence in elections is taking another hit as late mail‑in ballot dumps erode Spencer Pratt’s lead and heavily favor far‑left Nithya Raman, while the establishment shrugs and says, “That’s just how mail‑ins work.” And overseas, Trump is walking a tightrope: nearly 100 days into his “Epic Fury” campaign on Iran, U.S. forces are still intercepting drones and missiles while Tehran blames America for “breaking” a ceasefire Iran keeps violating. Meanwhile, Zelensky has suddenly called for direct talks with Putin and a temporary ceasefire, trying to grab the world’s attention before Ukraine falls off Washington’s radar.

Taken together, these stories show exactly where we are: Trump is gaining leverage in the Senate, exposed by activist judges at home, undercut by sketchy election systems, and tested abroad—yet still fighting to put American citizens first. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Putin, Trump Reach Accord

Susan Kokinda argues that a Trump-Putin phone call signaled alignment in blaming Zelenskyy and European governments for prolonging the Ukraine war, followed by the Kremlin confirming a Victory Day ceasefire.

She says the media focused instead on King Charles’ Washington visit, which she portrays as an effort to preserve the UK-led “Special Relationship,” while Chatham House speakers acknowledged that the post-1949 order and US underwriting of European security is ending.

Kokinda then frames the UAE’s exit from OPEC as a major crack in the post-1971 petrodollar system built around dollar-floating, OPEC price control, and Gulf instability, noting new regional security ties such as Israeli Iron Dome support in the UAE.

Finally, she highlights the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital, described as an internal investment bank with about $210B in lending authority to finance industrial capacity and “de-risk” critical production. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.
