Multiple media reports indicate that a secret plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war has been drafted and just needs to be agreed to by the warring parties.
Steve Witkoff, President Trump's special envoy, hosted Kirill Dmitriev, an adviser to President Putin, for three days in Florida at the end of October to hammer out a 28-point peace plan.
According to the Financial Times, it demands significant concessions from Ukraine, including recognizing Russian as an official state language and giving up its stockpile of U.S. weapons.
Also part of the still officially secret plan is a requirement that Ukraine half the size of its army and surrenders the Donbas region in the eastern part of the nation.
Ukraine would also grant official status to the local branch of the Russian Orthodox Church, reports the Times of London.
Dmitriev said the Kremlin was likely to accept the plan because "we feel the Russian position is really being heard." He told Axios, which first reported the proposal: "It's happening with the background of Russia definitely having additional successes on the battlefield."
This includes a recent Russian attack on western Ukraine, killing at least 25 people, including children.
The talks between Witkoff and Dmitriev appear to suggest Ukraine and Europe have been frozen out of negotiations. "We don't really care about the Europeans," a White House official told Politico. "It's about Ukraine accepting."
To that end, U.S. Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll arrived in Kiev Wednesday to brief President Zelensky whose administration recently has been rocked by corruption charges.

PALM BEACH, Florida – A powerful public service announcement featuring survivors of Jeffrey Epstein was aired during ABC's broadcast of "Monday Night Football," just ahead of the U.S. House vote Tuesday on releasing the files probing the Palm Beach pedophile.
"I suffered so much pain," numerous women state in the PSA, as they hold photos of themselves when they were girls as young as 14 when they met Epstein. "There are about a thousand of us."
"It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows. It's time to shine a light into the darkness," the women say.
The video concludes with an on-screen message indicating: "Five administrations and we're still in the dark."
There's also a plea to call Congress and demand release of the Epstein files.
"This should have never been a fight," said U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who has been vocal in her push for the public to see the files.
"Raping teenage girls, trafficking victims, and protecting powerful people is not a hoax. I unapologetically and proudly stand with these women."
Human Events host and bestselling author Jack Posobiec shared the video, reminding everyone that "Epstein visited the White House 17 times during the Clinton Presidency."
As WorldNetDaily reported, both Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to appear before Congress to testify in connection with the sordid case of Epstein, according to a member of the House Oversight Committee.
U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., made the assertion Monday, stating: "Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to appear before House Oversight for their depositions regarding Jeffrey Epstein."
"Notice how House Democrats suddenly have nothing to say about it," the congresswoman added.
On Monday, President Donald Trump again directly tied Bill Clinton to Epstein, saying, "All of [Epstein's] friends were Democrats. You look at this Reid Hoffman, you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, they went to his island all the time, and many others. All Democrats."
The survivors' PSA was produced by World Without Exploitation, which calls itself "a fiscally-sponsored project of the Tides Center," which has been linked to billionaire leftist George Soros.
"It's a call to action," one of the women, Danielle Bensky, told NBC News on Sunday. "While we are Epstein and [Ghislaine] Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well."
"Many people scroll and they see our stories, and they want to find a way to advocate, and they're not really sure how," Bensky said. "We really want to tell people that you can get out there and you can do this for yourself and be a part of what's starting to really feel like a movement, in a way."
NBC reported: "Epstein survivor Annie Farmer, whose sister Maria Farmer was the first woman to file a criminal complaint against Epstein, in 1996, stressed the release of the files is not a political issue but one that has been buried too long."
"Please remember that these are crimes that were committed against real humans, real individuals. This is not a political issue. This, this has been going on for decades," Annie Farmer said.
"My sister Maria Farmer reported this under the Clinton's administration, right? There have been mistakes that were made in this case under the Bush administration. So many things have happened over the decades that were law enforcement failures in this case.
"This is not partisan. We're asking for you to stand with us now to release all of the files."

A Colorado family wants to punish the town of Elizabeth for ticketing their son, now an adult, for an alleged curfew violation that was based on an unconstitutional law.
Technically, the family is suing for years of out-of-pocket costs for court battles, compensatory damages, and even punitive damages. Plus lawyers' fees and interest.
It is at Complete Colorado that the situation is described.
Michael and Jennifer Saunders, along with their now-adult son Joseph, are suing the town for the curfew ticket issued to a then 17-year-old Joseph several years ago.
It was in 2021 when he was returning home from a Saturday evening with friends, with his parents' permission.
It was a little after midnight that Elizabeth police officers stopped a group of people and cited the high school boys for the curfew violation.
That law, at the time, banned individuals under 18 from being out past midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. It also barred them from public streets before 5 a.m. on all days.
A municipal court found Saunders guilty, but the case was appealed and a district judge in Elbert County in 2024 declared the ordinance unconstitutional.
The town didn't appeal and the citation eventually was waived and the ordinance changed to comply with constitutional requirements.
Now the Saunders family members are seeking, in federal district court, compensation for their years of trouble and expense.
The parents spent "thousands of dollars defending" this case, according to their complaint, and the "entire family suffered extreme emotional distress from the incident, the Parents were ridiculed by others in the community, and they were afraid to allow their children to travel within the Town of Elizabeth at any time. The Parents feared reprisal from the Town and the Police Department. The Parents experienced great stress and lived in fear that they may be improperly parenting their children."
It cites, specifically, "damages for pain and suffering, physical injury, mental and emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and all other non-economic and economic damages."
Defendants, beside the town, include three police officers involved in the original citation.

Colorado has a long history of extremism, from racism to charges that it is continuing slavery.
One of its counties, Gilpin, a few years back paid out $700,000 after officials in government documents repeatedly referred to a black resident as "N—– Roy."
A pending lawsuit claims the leftist state – it's run by Democrats in the governor's office, legislature and state Supreme Court – is continuing "slavery" in its work programs for prison inmates.
State officials are demanding that taxpayers nationwide fund the lucrative abortion industry, and it long has pushed the radicalism of having boys who say they are girls in girls' showers with the females.
It has had more school shootings that just about anywhere else, the latest just weeks ago in Evergreen.
It also has a long history of attacking Christians. Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop has been in the courts for a decade for refusing to submit his Christian faith to the progressive LGBT agenda in which state officials believe.
That's despite the state losing at the U.S. Supreme Court in the fight.
Same thing happened with the state's demand a web designer give up her Christian faith in order to operate her business. It lost again at the Supreme Court, and taxpayers there were billed millions for state officials to waste in their legal fight.
Right now the Supreme Court is considering whether the allow the state to censor pro-Christian comments by counselors, who are urged to deliver pro-LGBT ideologies to young clients.
Now the state's agenda is spreading to its cities.
A report from the American Center for Law and Justice reveals that town officials in Northglenn, a suburb north of Denver, are attacking three local churches for meeting to "worship, pray, study Scripture, and share meals. …"
"They exercised their constitutionally protected right to freely practice their faith in a traditional public forum – a right that has been guaranteed to Americans since our nation's founding," the report explained.
"Then the city of Northglenn decided their religious exercise was a problem, going so far as criminally citing the pastors for exercising their constitutionally protected rights to religion, speech, and assembly."
The legal team confirmed it is taking action representing members and pastors.
"We will be filing a federal lawsuit to defend these pastors and their constitutional right to freely exercise their faith in a public park and to defend them against their criminal citations. This case represents yet another disturbing example of government hostility toward religious expression – and we won't stand for it."
The ACLJ explained the case involves pastors Brent Denney and David McCamish, of Brave church, and pastor Dustin Mackintosh of Next Step Christian Church, who have been holding weekly ministry gatherings at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park.
"They were peaceful religious gatherings," the legal team said.
For four years, no complaints. They used the park on the same basis as any other group.
Then just last year, "The chief of police informed the pastors he had been 'tasked with shutting down' their weekly gatherings. City officials called a private meeting with representatives from the churches and made the city's position clear: They liked what the churches were doing, but they couldn't do it in Northglenn. The city's objection wasn't to the size of the gatherings or any actual disruption. Their objection was to who the churches were serving and why they were doing it – because of their religious conviction to follow Christ's command to serve 'the least of these.'"
The city formally adopted a resolution attacking the religious meetings.
Officials followed up by having police issue criminal citations to pastors and participants.
"When officers arrived, they didn't just ask about group size – they specifically inquired about church membership, asking, 'How many people are part of your church?' This reveals the true target: not group gatherings in general, but religious gatherings specifically. One of the pastors given a citation wasn't even participating in the religious gathering at the time but was sitting nearby. But because he was the pastor of one of the churches involved, he was still cited," the legal team said.
At the same time, "numerous other groups continue using the same park without interference: adult daycare groups, walking clubs, pickleball groups, and fitness classes that meet multiple times per week."
The ACLJ noted the Supreme Court already has ruled against ordinances "specifically designed to suppress religious practices while allowing comparable secular conduct."

It was called "Operation Dirtbag" and it apparently was well-named as the federal law enforcement sweep apprehended some 150 illegal migrant "sexual predators."
It is a report in the New York Post that described the Florida project's results, as revealed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
They were among more than 230 illegal aliens rounded up in Florida on charges including sexual offenses, drug offenses and even murder.
The "dirtbags" included those who already had been convicted of child molestation and sexual assault, the DHS confirmed.
"This operation was called Operation Criminal Return. I call it Operation Dirtbag, because these individuals were sex offenders, but not just sex offenders, they targeted children," announced Noem in an interview with "Fox & Friends."
"These 150 individuals will be gone off of our streets. Our kids will be safer."
Agencies of the state of Florida, directed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, helped, she said.
"These individuals should have never been in our country to begin with. The fact that they were sexual deviants and perverts, and now we've gotten them off of our streets, it's remarkable. And we need to do more of it," she said.
President Donald Trump's use of the National Guard to address surging crime in various locations already is credited with a 41% decline in robberies and a 35% drop in shootings in Chicago, where state officials have fought the president's every move to help battle crime.

As if the BBC's reputation hadn't already been damaged enough, with President Donald Trump's charge that it acted with actual malice in its misleading story about him, the British Broadcasting Corporation now faces another huge scandal.
It seems its LGBT reporters wouldn't allow anything on the air about LGBT issues unless they liked the stories.
WorldNetDaily already has reported on Trump's charges that the network, which he is threatening with a possible $1 billion lawsuit, acted with "reckless disregard for the truth" and that shows the "actual malice" involved in the BBC's decision to publish false statements.
The firestorm already has prompted the head of the BBC and its news chief to walk away from the company, for the deceptive editing of President Trump's remarks on Jan. 6, 2021.
Lawyers for Trump confirmed statements on the network's "Panorama" documentary were "fabricated."
Now the Christian Institute in the U.K. is reporting that there was a group of LGBT activists within the BBC news organization that censored "news coverage critical of transgender ideology."
"In a leaked internal document seen by The Daily Telegraph, Michael Prescott warned executives of fears that LGBT 'desk staffers' were 'keeping other perspectives off-air,'" the report said.
Prescott worked at the BBC advising in editorial guidelines and standards.
The Telegraph reported Prescott heard reports of "what sounded like effective censorship by the specialist LGBTQ desk within News" while in his advisory role, the report said.
"I was told that time and time again, the LGBTQ desk staffers would decline to cover any story raising difficult questions about the trans debate. The allegation made to me was stark: that the desk had been captured by a small group of people promoting the Stonewall view of the debate," Prescott said.
"There was also a constant drip-feed of one-sided stories, usually news features, celebrating the trans experience without adequate balance or objectivity," he explained.
The documentation seen by the Telegraph also confirmed David Grossman, a senior editorial adviser for BBC, found "unintended editorial bias," a lack of "significant voices," and "little or no coverage" on the extremism involved in transgenderism, the "quality of care given to gender-confused children."
Further, the beliefs on gender identify were referenced as "established fact," not ideological beliefs.
"Referring to the story of transgender wrestler Gisele Shaw as a 'typical example' of bias, the memo said the BBC account 'glossed over how the wrestler, who is a biological male, had repeatedly won trophies by competing in women's competitions,'" the institute explained.
A BBC official confirmed there have been "a number of actions" relating to reports on sex and gender, to include new updates in the news style guide.
The Panorama scandal involves charges BBC literally spliced video together to claim Trump was encouraging the riots on Capitol Hill in 2021.

One of the multitudes of organizations across America that actively promote alternative sexual lifestyle choices as ordinary and normal, even privileged, GLAAD, is complaining that the entertainment industry soon won't have as many LGBT characters.
Originally known as the Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the group's focus now is on advocating for LBGT lifestyles, and it specifically concentrates its activism on making sure those ideologies are in programming, pushing for "acceptance."
However, it now is alarmed because, according to a report at the Daily Wire, soon there will be fewer LGBT characters on television.
The report said GLAAD's "Where We Are On TV" monitor cited a looming 41% drop in the number of characters that are LGBT.
Last season there were 489 in the profile, but many are not returning because of program cancellations, limited appearances or being "killed off" by the writers of their shows.
"There is a definite concern that it's not going to bounce back next year and see a growth just in terms of what's been announced up to this moment," Megan Townsend, of GLAAD, said in an interview with TheWrap. "We have not had a ton of announcements or news about new series and returning series within the research period that would make up for some of these losses."
Her claim is that shows are a "business success" when they are "inclusive," because more than 84 million American adults believe they are more likely to watch a show if it includes LGBT promotions.
Also unhappy, the report said, was GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, who said, "Nearly a third of non-LGBTQ+ Americans say that LGBTQ+-inclusive media has changed their perception of our community.
"Today, we are at a critical juncture, with hateful rhetoric running unchecked from politicians and news media and given a falsely amplified platform, even as the majority of this country overwhelmingly supports the LGBTQ+ community. With so many diverse, entertaining and impactful series being canceled at an alarming rate, it is imperative that networks and streamers do not back down."
Social media commenters actually provided explanations to GLAAD, "They actually track this nonsense? Of course the shows get canceled, no one wants to have this crap shoved down their throat. A DEI statement forced into a script always causes an eye roll and channel change. If it's subtle, no one cares. Instead, they have to go for shock value."
Other verdicts: "Call me crazy but that's the free market. If demand isn't there, characters and shows will be canceled."
And, "If you don't make money, you get canned. Not rocket science."

Multiple radicals have unleashed their violence on American university campuses this week, and whether it's part of the leftist agenda that put Muslim "democratic socialist" Zohran Mamdani into the office of New York City's mayor or not, it's causing alarm.
In both cases students displayed hatred and vulgar language (be forewarned about videos) and attacked conservative expressions simply because the statements were being made.
One was at what apparently was a Steven Crowder event at the University of Oklahoma.
Caught taking down signs about the event, the unidentified girl swatted a phone from a man's hand, suggested obscene actions and more.
Online were dozens of calls for her arrest and expulsion.
One said, "She needs to learn that she can't assault people and have zero consequences. If she does not get taught this lesson she will do it again. Every time she does it and there are no consequences it is a green light that it is ok and to escalate."
And, "Wow! She needs an intervention."
And, "These are the people that vote for a communist in New York."
Another message asked the school for a comment.
Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley highlighted the other situation, at Oklahoma State, where a radical insisted she had the right to shut up anyone with a message she dislikes.
"You don't deserve a conversation," she said.
Turley said it was a "student" that was "trashing" a table at the Young America's Foundation event.
The students had set up a table to support traditional marriage.
The radical student then "tossed their material and claimed the absolute right to vandalize opposing views on campus," he wrote.
"Notably, one of the students involved in the attacks insisted that only the government is prevented from trashing such tables and, as a private citizen, she had a right to do so. The sense of license to do so has been drilled into these students by both educational and political figures. This is a face of rage."
He said in this situation, like the other, the question is what will the university do about the attack.
"This type of political violence or vandalism should be anathema to an institution of higher education. This is not free speech, as the student claims. It is the denial of the exercise of free speech. The student has every right to set up her own table or protest the YAF. What she is not allowed to do is attack other students or their displays.

Ex-FBI chief James Comey, charged with lying to Congress, insists that he's being selectively and vindictively prosecuted and that he never committed the offenses.
But a trove of evidence released in response to his claims by prosecutors undermines his case.
U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan filed a response to Comey's demand that the court dismiss his indictment for vindictive prosecution.
And it includes "bombshell, damning evidence" in his own handwritten note on FBI letterhead confirming his knowledge of and participation in "the Russian collusion criminal conspiracy against Trump."
The exhibits include statements from Comey, "from his burner gmail with his alias Reinhold Niebuhr, that, 'At this point it would shouting into the wind. Some day they will figure it out. And as Jack and Ben point out, my decision will be one a president elect Clinton will be very grateful for (though that wasn't why I did it).'"
He also, responding to a planted New York Times hit piece against Trump, told "FBI special government employee Daniel Richman, 'Well done my friend. Who knew that would. E so uh fun."
Richman was the tool Comey is accused of using to leak government secrets to the media.
"Exhibit 10 shows FBI special government employee Daniel Richman (aka 'Michael Garcia') is leaking–as an anonymous source–to New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt on behalf of then-FBI Director James Comey. Comey testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee he never did this," reports explain.
A report at the Gateway Pundit explains that federal prosecutors have confirmed they have a "trove of personal emails" with Comey openly talking, before the 2016 election, how he expected to work for "president elect" Clinton and he "was being kept apprised by a top FBI aide on efforts to anonymously provide information to the news media."
The report called the court filing responding to Comey's demand the case be dismissed a "bombshell."
"Halligan cited and attached to the filing numerous emails in which Comey was clearly aware that Richman was working to provide information anonymously to news outlets about the Clinton email case and that he expected those outreach efforts would end with Clinton defeating Donald Trump in the November 2016 election," explained Just the News.

SNAP is back, according to confirmation from the White House, but its benefits now are being cut in half because of the Schumer Shutdown. And the White House has advised the judge who ordered all of the available reserves be spent there's now no way to address any emergency.
The government's SNAP program, basically food stamps for tens of millions, was closing down on Nov. 1 when its money ran out because of the government shutdown demanded by Democrats in the U.S. Senate.
While the GOP proposed a clean funding resolution, continuing the spending as it had been for several weeks, Democrats demanded the government raid Americans' paychecks for $1.5 trillion for broadcast propaganda, health care for illegal aliens and more.
GOP members in the Senate, and the White House, said that was impossible, so the government shutdown is into its second month.
Leftist groups sued when they realized food stamps was going bust, and a judge ordered the White House to spend down to nothing all the reserves.
The Washington Examiner reported Trump will "deplete" the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to provide half benefits for November.
"The [plan] will leave a total of $4.65 billion in the contingency fund for November SNAP benefits that will all be obligated to cover 50% of eligible households' current allotments," Agriculture Department spokesman Patrick Penn explained.
"This means that no funds will remain for new SNAP applicants certified in November, disaster assistance, or as a cushion against the potential catastrophic consequences of shutting down SNAP entirely," Penn charged.
It was Judge John McConnell who had said the administration must use contingency funding for November, and claimed that the government could shift funding around to obtain more, a move the White House rejected.
Penn said the government could not access other USDA funding, such as the Child Nutrition Fund, because that would just move the problem "to millions of America's low-income children."
Those funds, he told the judge, are not "a contingency fund for SNAP."
The White House explained earlier it was not allowed to use the contingency funding because that was designated as a reserve for emergencies such as natural disaster.
