“They threw everything at him, manufacturing intelligence to frame him as a Russian stooge… they failed spectacularly,” writes NY Post journalist Miranda Devine. “If you come for the king, you'd best not miss.” After reviewing intelligence documents declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, Devine says “We now know that on Dec. 9, 2016, Obama directed his national security officials, DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and others to create an intelligence assessment with the foregone conclusion they all knew to be false: that Russia had influenced the 2016 election to help Trump win.” “…Hillary herself approved one of these plans… to heighten tensions around this Russia hoax… to draw attention away from her and the controversy surrounding her at that time.” Patrick Pennie is a Certified Clinical Perfusionist and Critical Care Registered Nurse.

Send us a textI'm starting with the alarming Putin and Trump Alaska summit where Putin's focused speech about economic expansion into the US and his emphasis on Alaska's proximity to Russia as a former Russian territory really freaked me out, especially knowing his associate Volodin was simultaneously meeting with Kim Jong-un in North Korea which no one covered. I'll tell you why this is important. Then I'm breaking down the most shocking tea that connects Bravo's Next Gen NYC star Charlie Zakkour to one of the most disturbing crypto kidnapping cases in New York history! In this deep dive, I reveal how Charlie wasn't just friends with crypto kidnappers John Woeltz and William Duplessie - he was actually working as their recruiter, bringing models and young women to their Prince Street townhouse where the alleged torture took place for money. I expose Charlie's connection to The Box nightclub scene, how he used Riley Burruss and other Bravo kids as marks to pay expensive bottle service bills while he recruited women for these dangerous men, and why parents like Teresa Giudice and Meredith Marks should be furious their daughters were put on a show with someone involved in this world. I'm also revealing the truth behind Jacqueline Laurita's $750,000 default judgment drama that turned out to be completely misreported by the media plus Todd Nepola's unhinged 10-minute Instagram rant threatening to sue Bravo producers over claims that don't add up with what Alexia has said publicly and what I know. Plus, I'm spilling exclusive new details about the mysterious Montauk murder of bathing suit company owner Martha Nolan O'Ceallaigh, who was found dead on insurance mogul Christopher Durham's boat after a night of partying - and why her naked host running from the scene screaming raises major red flags. Also I wonder if Dorit Kemsley knew her and it was odd RHOBH was filming there when it happened. From Putin's concerning rhetoric to crypto torture dungeons to mysterious boat deaths, this episode connects all the dots you've been missing!For the Full epsodes go here for only $6.00 per month plus more show! https://www.patreon.com/c/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo learn more about sponsorships, email DDDWpodcast@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

Conversations on Groong - August 16, 2025In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we speak with analyst Hamid Bahrami about Iran's shifting role in the South Caucasus following the White House meeting between Trump, Pashinyan, and Aliyev that unveiled the TRIPP corridor, also known as the Trump Route. We examine how the project threatens to bypass and encircle Iran, potentially cutting it off from Russia and the Black Sea, while serving broader US and Israeli strategic aims. The discussion explores Iran's decades of passivity in the region, its missed opportunities, and the wake-up call of the 44-day war, before turning to how Tehran might now defend its red lines through deeper cooperation with Russia, China, and Armenia.

Drawing on insights from Cardinal Burke, Father Charles Murr, and testimonies from those close to Cardinal Ratzinger, John-Henry Westen and Dr. Maike Hickson revisit the long-disputed Third Secret of Fatima, questioning whether the Vatican's 2000 disclosure revealed the full message. Dr. Hickson links the Fatima message to Vatican II, post-conciliar turmoil, and today's decline in Eucharistic belief, stressing that Heaven's requests, the Five First Saturdays devotion, and the precise consecration of Russia, remain incomplete.

This afternoon, President Donald Trump is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. For the better part of a week, the White House has been tempering expectations — with the latest chatter being that this will all be the prelude to a second meeting with Putin at which real progress could be made on a ceasefire agreement in Russia's war on Ukraine. So what would success look like today? And what is each side's strategy going in? Playbook's Adam Wren and POLITICO White House and foreign affairs correspondent Eli Stokols walk you through what you need to know.
The presidents of the US and Russia meet in Alaska with peace in Ukraine on the line.

//The Wire//2300Z August 15, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: PUTIN ARRIVES IN ALASKA FOR SUMMIT. U.K. MIGRANT CRISIS CONTINUES TO WORSEN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: The situation is reaching a breaking point regarding the migrant crisis. On Wednesday evening, a migrant from the Canary Wharf Migrant Center (formerly the Britannia International Hotel) broke in to a nearby apartment. Details are hard to verify (and no names have been released so far), however a woman inside the apartment (who was blind) possibly did not know that the migrant was inside her home. Some time later, the woman's daughter arrived at the apartment, discovering the migrant in the process of assaulting her mother. The daughter managed to get rid of the migrant, but after some time, she decided to approach the entrance to the Britannia Hotel with a meat cleaver. A security guard managed to calm her down, but police arrested the woman at her home some time later.The judge denied the daughter bail, and the status of the migrant who started all of this remains unknown. Authorities have stated that he remains in custody, but that cannot be verified at this point, as British authorities have a long history of secretly releasing violent criminals (especially migrants) without notice.-HomeFront-New York City: This morning a three-alarm fire was reported at a residential apartment building in the Upper East Side, in the vicinity of 95th Street. The fire resulted in an explosion which injured three firefighters.Alaska: This afternoon the peace summit between the United States and Russia began, with both President Putin and President Trump meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.Analyst Comment: So far, the initial meeting appears to be amiable, and today's talks ended several hours early on positive terms. Immediately following the meeting, President Trump conducted a phone call to undisclosed leadership in Europe. Since these are closed-door deliberations, we'll have to wait until morning to determine how things went on the first day (unless there's some kind of unplanned announcement by the White House), but at the moment the general situation looks positive.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: When governments push their populations past the breaking point, things get ugly, and London is rapidly becoming the central focus point for understanding what happens when things come to a head throughout the western world. One woman with a meat cleaver who is at the end of her rope, with no options left, is not likely to result in any change, tactically speaking. Mass protest is unlikely to result in any change in this situation either. However, the rawness and grit of this incident is significant; bottom line, the British government does not know what generational anger they have stoked at this point.The Britannia Hotel is host to significant police activity, and has been turned into an urban fortress by the authorities seeking to protect the violent criminals inside. Roughly 1,000 migrants are being housed at this facility, many of which have long criminal records. British authorities keep shuffling the migrants around in an elaborate shell game, so that no one really knows for sure how many are in a Migrant Center at any given time. This also serves to prevent locals from building familiarity and starting to notice the same faces committing crimes over and over again. This site is also host to significant protest activity, but so far this Key Terrain has not been breached or vulnerabilities exploited. So far, most of the activities surrounding the migrant centers in and around London have been fairly low-intensity, but as more innocent people continue to be harmed, this will not last.Yesterday, London also announced the expansion of surveillance operations in the city. 10x surveillance vans equipped wit

Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project. That's like what Putin is doing in Russia.” - Jason StanleyGuests:• Masha Gessen: Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Author, Surviving Autocracy; Distinguished Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY• Jason Stanley: Author, Erasing History & How Fascism Works; Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto Watch the special report released on YouTube; PBS World Channel August 15th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

A discussion on the Democratic Party's struggle with public perception on crime and the truth behind the Russia-Alaska summit. The host cites a CNN pollster who advises Democrats to stop defending criminals, as their approval on the issue is significantly lower than Donald Trump's. The segment highlights how a focus on "undocumented residents" and sanctuary cities is hurting Democrats with the wider public, even as these stances win over the primary base. The hosts then transition to the highly anticipated summit between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. They delve into the history of U.S.-Russia relations, arguing that the entire "Russia collusion" narrative was a fabrication, from election hacking to the Alpha Bank server story. The host states that these lies were manufactured by Hillary Clinton's campaign and a deep state that sought to justify sanctions, military buildup, and a new Cold War. The segment posits that Trump is meeting Putin in person to offer a long-overdue apology and to have a conversation free from the deep state's surveillance and leaks, with the aim of de-escalating the conflict. The host also suggests that the President is pressuring Putin to de-escalate, while at the same time urging him not to react to provocations from other countries, specifically Ukraine.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine (which Putin started). While Trump insisted Wednesday there would be “very severe consequences” if Putin doesn't agree to some kind of ceasefire, the Russian president has given no indication he plans to give up his goal of eventually taking over all of Ukraine. And Ukraine continues to insist it will not cede any of its territory to Russia. In short: The war is still at a stalemate, and the president of the United States wants to move the needle by hosting the aggressor — an international pariah who faces an arrest warrant on war crimes from the Hague – right here on American soil. Julia Ioffe, a founding member of Puck News and a long-time Russian politics expert, joins us to talk about the Alaska summit and what could come out of it.And in headlines: Trump suggested he may extend federal control of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department beyond the 30-day limit, a panel of appeals court judges opened the door for the White House to suspend or terminate billions in foreign aid funding, and fewer Americans say they're drinking alcohol.Show Notes:Pre-order Julia's book – https://tinyurl.com/2btnv3pkCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
