Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Yermak: From Power Player to Courtroom

Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Andrey Yermak Appears in Court to Face Stunning Charges of Corruption and Money Laundering

Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Andrey Yermak Appears in Court to Face Stunning Charges of Corruption and Money LaunderingSundance – Andrey Yermak is not just some random high-level government official in Ukraine. Andrey Yermak was President Zelenskyy’s right hand, chief of staff, organizer of the functions of Ukrainian government and the guy who controlled the systems that keep all other government officials working on the agenda of the President.

If you took Susie Wiles and Marco Rubio’s responsibilities and combined them into one job function, that would be the scale of importance and influence that Andrey Yermak controlled inside the Ukrainian government and the office of President Zelenskyy.

Today, following an explosive criminal corruption charge that surfaced less than 36 hours ago, Andrey Yermak appears in court to face charges of corruption, theft and money laundering. Yermak was under investigation for his role in theft through the energy sector and now stands accused of using construction projects near Kiev as a tool to launder money to himself and other high-level government officials.

Major Victory: US Detains Maduro Amid Regional Power Shift

What a Way to Start 2026

What a Way to Start 2026Clarice Feldman – Christmas week was rather a slow week, with the big news being the further unraveling of the corruption in Minnesota, Washington state, California, and other Democrat redoubts. But like George Washington crossing the Delaware to beat the Hessians as they rested on Christmas, the U.S. pulled off an incredible military operation capturing Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro in his pajamas and bringing him back here to answer to criminal charges.

The Venezuelan military was largely on Christmas leave and Maduro’s international protectors — the Chinese and Russian forces in Venezuela — were caught flatfooted, diminishing their credibility in the Western Hemisphere. The impact of this operation was enormous. Continue reading

How Minnesotan Politics Mirror a Historic Spoils System

Minnesota Proves that Politics is a Spoils System

Christopher Chantrill – Everyone is shocked, shocked, that there is corruption going on in Minnesota, what with Feeding Our Future and Somali immigrants plundering various welfare programs for fun and profit, and top Minnesota politicians posing for photos with an illegal immigrant fraudster from Somalia.

Experts agree that it would be racist not to rename the Minnesota Vikings as the Minnesota Somali Pirates.

You and I, because we are so wise, are not surprised. We understand that, not later than the Roman Empire and its “bread and circuses,” corruption has been the very soul of a government program. Continue reading

How One-Party Control Fuels State Corruption and Cover-Ups

Ending Blue State Corruption

Robert B. Charles – Nationally, only seven states in the 2020s had one conviction for public corruption. If this sounds like good news, it is not. In 2025, 38 states are one-party controlled, some blue ones for years, creating potential for public corruption and cover-ups.

As the late Senator Edward Brooke, enemy of public corruption, warned: “When people treat corruption as a routine part of the process, you have something far worse than wrongdoing or moral failing; you have a political cancer that breeds cynicism about democratic government and infects all society.”

Aesop offered this irony. “We hang the petty thieves, and send the great ones to public office.” Political crimes are always serious. Until corrected, they persist. Continue reading

Democrats May Be Part of a Larger Cultural and Spiritual War

The Democrats Are Not as They Appear

Democrats May Be Part of a Larger Cultural and Spiritual WarTaylor Grant – There is a fundamental misconception about what is happening politically in this country, and it may be helpful to reconsider a particular assumption that is creating cognitive dissonance throughout American culture. That assumption is that Democrats are a political party. Consequently, every measure of their behavior seems unexplainable.

The assumption is incorrect. They have accelerated their devolution as a political entity over the last decade and have now arrived at a stable, if not entirely American, end state. The leaders, elected officeholders, and members have now been completely subsumed into a Communist Death Cult. The recent past is only a prologue for what is to come. Continue reading
