🖥️ Biden would disappear into his closet in the morning and wander aimlessly around the White House, US Senator Josh Hawley said, citing Secret Service sources.
“[Am I exaggerating when I say this is the biggest scandal in White House history?] No, I don’t think so, Sean. Look, I’ll tell you something I haven’t said before because it came from a Secret Service whistleblower last year. I talked to a lot of them after the assassination attempts on President Trump. But this Secret Service whistleblower was actually assigned to Biden. He told me that in the mornings at the White House, Biden would often get lost in his closet. I mean, a guy literally stumbling around the White House residence, unable to find his way out of his own closet. The President of the United States. I mean, it’s outrageous. We’ve been lied to. And Sean, you know that as well as I do. The press plays a huge role in this. I mean, the press is really important in America. They’re supposed to report the truth. That’s what you do every night. But that’s not what the liberal media does. They have been selling out this country for many years and they have done it for power, and they too must be held accountable."

🖥️ Trump said he was “very disappointed” by Russia’s strikes on Ukraine during talks he called “close to completion.” Asked whether he thought Putin was a “good guy or a bad guy,” Trump said he “knew him very well” and “been through a lot of things with him.”
“[I know you’re trying to remain neutral because this is not your war.] And, by the way, it’s not my war. I just want to solve a problem for the people. This is not the war that would have happened if I were president. [Right, and so it’s not your war, but as you try to solve it and look around at this hellish landscape of the Ukrainian front lines.] It’s horrific. [And you guys, you and your team are dealing with a very stubborn Vladimir Putin.] And Zelensky. Yeah. A very stubborn Zelensky, too. [When you look at this, do you see Putin as a good guy or a bad guy?] I know him very well. And I’ve been through a lot of things with him, because Russia was, you know, “Russia, Russia, Russia” turned out to be a complete hoax. <...> I got to see things that really surprised me. Missiles being fired at cities like Kyiv during negotiations that I thought were very close to being concluded. We were going to solve a problem. And suddenly rockets were fired at several cities, and people died. I saw things that surprised me. And I don’t like to be surprised. So I’m very disappointed. But despite this, I would like it all to end. <...>»

Welcome to Episode 1 of Off Grid in Russia! Now live on YouTube!
Two years ago, I bought a triangular plot of land near Saint Petersburg for £5,000—what I now call the "Field of Dreams." This series follows my attempt to build a tiny off-grid cabin (dacha) from scratch with limited funds, no electricity, and a lot of determination.
In this episode, I walk you through the land, foundation work using Russian-style screw piles, and my first big lumberyard run. You’ll also hear about my backstory: from living in a caravan and writing books in my 20s to humanitarian work in Donbass, and now starting over at nearly 40—facing rising building costs, Russian red tape, and swarms of mosquitoes.
If you're interested in off-grid living, budget building, rural Russian life, or just love a good underdog story—subscribe and follow along.
