“Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” he added.
Trump then said the United States knows where Khamenei is located." Breitbart

"Anti-Israel activists clashed with Egyptian authorities and fed-up locals during a doomed attempted march to the border of the Gaza Strip by a disorderly rabble of protesters.
Naive demonstrators taking part in a sit-in at a checkpoint outside the city of Ismailia, some 130 miles from the Rafah border crossing into the Palestinian territories, fought with both cops and Egyptian locals on Friday and Saturday, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Footage over the weekend showed activists wearing keffiyehs — the checkered calling-card of the pro-Palestinian cause — clashing with fed-up Egyptian locals, some of whom could be seen hurling clubs and water bottles at the hapless protesters.
Frustrated Egyptians, some little more than children, could be seen pulling the activists off the road as they staged a sit-down at the checkpoint.
One clip showed “free Palestine”-chanting activists — who were waving several different countries’ flags — being attacked by what they claimed were plain-clothes officers." NYP

"Zelensky fired off over a dozen paragraphs in his latest tweetstorm.
He demanded the imposition of more sanctions against Russia’s banking and energy sectors, complained about the “warm” tone of the US-Russian dialogue, expressed worries about reduced aid, fearmongered about Russia’s military-industrial complex, and pushed backagainst claims that he’s oppressing Russians, Russian speakers, and Russian Orthodox Christians. He’s clearly panicking.
Altogether, his tweetstorm says a lot about Ukraine’s increasingly difficult position if one reads between the lines, with this being brought about by Russia’s arrival in Dnipropetrovsk. Even if only some of what Zelensky is worried about comes to pass, especially reduced US aid and forthcoming American pressure upon Ukraine to comply with Russia’s demands, then the conflict might end sooner than expected. To be sure, this can’t be taken for granted, but it’s realistic enough of a scenario to make Zelensky panic." ZeroHedge
