Iranian Protesters Say They Were Betrayed by Trump

May 24, 2026/in Anti-Semitism, Assassination attempt, Culture War, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Islam, News, Radical Islamic Terrorism, The Truth, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Amil Imani

Donald J. Trump has officially taken to social media to boast about a backroom deal cooked up in the Oval Office. The image of his announcement paints a desperate picture of diplomatic theater: a flurry of phone calls with regional leaders, culminating in a planned signature between the United States of America and the terrorist regime ruling the Islamic Republic of Iran. The White House is eager to spin this as a triumph that will open the Strait of Hormuz and bring a heralded PEACE.

But let us strip away the public relations gloss and look at the brutal reality. If President Trump believes he has secured peace, he has instead fallen for a lethal trap. Pushing a temporary 30- to 60-day pause or accepting vague Iranian promises to discuss nuclear limitations is not a victory — it is a historic capitulation. Engaging in any deal with the Mullahs means America is defeated.

The fundamental flaw in American foreign policy — regardless of which party occupies the White House — has always been a profound, naive misunderstanding of Islamist ideology. The average American policymaker tries to apply Western geopolitical logic to a regime rooted in Velayat-e Faqih (the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist). This is not a conventional nation-state seeking economic stability; it is an extremist, apocalyptic dictatorship centered on martyrdom and global jihad.

When a regime’s eyes are fixed on the afterlife, traditional deterrence fails. To the Mullahs, a nuclear weapon is the ultimate tool for regional intimidation and blackmail. They will not negotiate it away. Every diplomatic dance, every relaxed sanction, and every dollar released to this illegitimate government is an injection of life support into a dying beast. History proves that when the regime is cornered, it uses its sophisticated propaganda machine to create smoke, mirrors, and regional crises — using proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis — to successfully distract the West while advancing its nuclear ambitions.

To understand why a deal with this regime is a moral and strategic disaster, one must look at the ground reality inside Iran. Since 1979, the Iranian people have lived under a ruthless, non-Iranian occupying force. For nearly five decades, the Mullahs have turned an oil-rich, culturally magnificent nation into a domestic warehouse of human suffering.

Domestic Terror: The regime has systematically produced unprecedented levels of poverty, hunger, frustration, and systemic corruption.
Human Rights Atrocities: Mass executions, child executions, and the systematic torture and rape of political dissidents in prisons like Evin are daily tools of state survival.
Religious Cleansing: The regime has waged a relentless campaign to completely wipe out the Baha’i minority, routinely desecrating their cemeteries, alongside the continuous harassment of other religious minorities.
Economic Siphoning: While the Iranian populace starves, billions of dollars are funneled out of the country to finance regional terror networks and proxy forces.

The great majority of the 92 million people living in Iran utterly despise their rulers. It is a telling fact that throughout decades of state-mandated protests, not a single authentic Persian citizen has willingly used the regime’s slogans of Death to America or Death to Israel. These are phrases manufactured purely for state television and domestic consumption by an illegitimate ruling class that fears its own shadow.

The Iranian people love the idea of American liberty, and they have previously looked to Donald Trump as a leader who might finally break the back of their oppressors. When the Trump administration initially applied the Maximum Pressure campaign, it severely crippled the regime’s lifelines by blocking oil sales and international banking access. The Mullahs were faced with a stark choice: starve financially or play high-stakes poker.

By engaging in this current deal, the administration is folding its hand right as the pressure was working. This deal abandons the people of Iran and the people of Israel. It tells the millions of brave Iranian students, women, journalists, and workers who have risked their lives in the streets that their sacrifices mean nothing to Washington.

While the international community rushes billions of dollars in military aid to defend other sovereign nations, the occupied nation of Iran receives nothing but empty rhetoric and political double standards. The Iranian people do not want a revised nuclear treaty; they want a complete regime change through a free, democratic referendum. By sitting at the negotiating table with their executioners, America is legitimizing a terrorist cabal that has hijacked a nation.

Those blindly defending this proposed deal within the political establishment are not doing so out of strategic wisdom. They are doing it out of partisan loyalty and fear of contradicting the Oval Office. But this goes beyond modern partisanship — it is a matter of global security.

Let there be no mistake: any signature on a document alongside the Islamic Republic of Iran is a lease on life for an IRGC dictatorship. If the United States relaxes sanctions, looks the other way on covert oil sales, and allows the Mullahs back into the international financial system, the regime wins an unearned, monumental victory.

The Mullahs have successfully called Washington’s bluff. They threatened to disrupt the Gulf’s oil shipping lanes, and the West blinked. Every single concession granted to the Islamic Republic today will eventually be paid for in blood — first across the Middle East, and inevitably, on the streets of the West.

If America deals with the Mullahs, America loses.

Inflation Slowed to 2.4% in January

March 6, 2026/in Budget and Finance, Economy, Elections, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Social Issues, The Truth/by Conservative Commandos Radio Show and AUN-TV

The January inflation reading offered encouraging signs for consumers and the U.S. economy, with the Consumer Price Index coming in below Wall Street expectations and falling to its lowest level in nine months.

“Inflation fell to the lowest level since May, and key items such as food, gas and rent are cooling off,” Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said in an email. “This will provide much-needed relief for middle-class and moderate-income families.”

Here are five takeaways from today’s CPI report, which tracks changes in prices of goods and services across the U.S. Inflation came in cooler than expected. Friday’s report showed that inflation in January dipped to 2.4% on an annual basis, a shade below economists’ forecasts of 2.5%.

“HOTTER THAN EXPECTED”: Consumer Confidence Is UP in February

February 27, 2026/in Economy, Elections, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Tariffs, Taxes, The Truth/by The Geller Report

After a dip in January, consumer confidence is coming back. ebruary’s Consumer Confidence Index rose to 91.2, beating forecasts.

he Expectations Index—how Americans view the next six months—also posted a solid gain.

And expectations improve before spending accelerates.

The Conference Board reported Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 91.2 in February, up from an upwardly revised 89 the month before. While still subdued, the increase suggests a slight stabilization after January’s sharp drop. A measure of short-term expectations for income, business conditions, and the labor market climbed four points to 72. That figure remains well below 80 — a level often viewed as a recession warning signal — marking the 13th straight month below that threshold.

According to the Conference Board’s February survey, Americans also showed greater willingness to spend on big-ticket items in the months ahead. Plans to purchase used cars, furniture, televisions, and smartphones increased. Expectations for home buying were largely unchanged — unsurprising given that February is typically a slower period for housing, which has struggled through a prolonged downturn.

Associated Press: The American consumer’s confidence in the U.S. economy improved slightly in February after cratering a month earlier. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 91.2 in February from an upwardly revised 89 last month. A measure of Americans’ short-term expectations for their income, business conditions and the job market rose four points to 72, remaining well below 80, the marker that can signal a recession ahead. It’s the 13th consecutive month that reading has come in under 80…. According to the Conference Board’s February survey, consumers’ plans to buy big-ticket items over the next six months rose, with plans to buy used cars, furniture, TVs, and smartphones leading the way. Home-buying expectations were little changed in February, generally a slow time for the housing market, which has been mired in a yearslong slump.

Nonprofit Launches to Implement Trump’s Election Integrity Executive Order

February 17, 2026/in America 250, Election Fraud, Elections, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism, Voter REAL ID/by The Daily Signal

A new Trump-aligned nonprofit is launching to fill a gap in enforcement of the president’s election integrity executive order.

Nicole Kelly, senior counsel at Lex Politica, the law firm that represents Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and other Republicans, is the president of a new 501(c)4 called Save Election Day to lead the fight in battleground states to implement the initiatives identified by President Donald Trump’s executive order last March.

“President Trump’s executive order that came out last March that really sparked the initial idea here because this organization was founded for one single purpose,” Kelly told The Daily Signal, “which we believe is existential to the future of the United States democracy, which is to lead the fight in the states to implement the key initiatives that were identified and outlined by President Trump.”

Save Election Day is particularly aimed at implementing several policies nationwide: one single Election Day; requirements of photo ID to vote; elimination or reduction of mail-in balloting and early voting periods; elimination of post-Election Day ballot receipt periods; and bans on noncitizen voting.

“This organization is specifically designed for state law and to lead the fight specifically in the states to implement the executive order,” Kelly said.

While other conservative groups have fought bad election laws with litigation, Kelly said Save Election Day will work to actually change those laws.

“This organization is actually going to be focused on changing the laws that are on the books through legislation, through ballot initiatives, through administrative actions, constitutional amendments,” Kelly said.

“It will, in some cases, necessarily involve litigation, just because, of course, Democrats are going to sue over some of the changes that they don’t want made in elections to clean them up,” she said, “but the focus here will be changing the law that’s on the books, so that when it comes to election integrity operations, whatever is being enforced is actually good law, not just trying to be defensive.”

While Kelly says conservative legal organizations have done great work in elections, the needle hasn’t moved enough.

“The president has a lot of passion and fervor, and we wanted that same energy for this type of organization to be very action oriented, to make sure that these very important election reforms are made,” she said.

While many states have already passed election reform, a lot of work remains, Kelly says.

Fourteen states currently do not require any ID to vote, and 11 states currently have ID requirements considered “weak,” allowing voters to sign an affidavit or vouch for identity without presenting photo ID or undergoing a signature comparison.

Furthermore, 14 states currently allow mail ballots to be received after Election Day, and 32 states lack any explicit noncitizen voting ban in their state constitutions.

“Our priorities are going to be battleground states that have significant impact for Republicans in 2026 and 2028,” Kelly said, “but again, and we’re not going to stop this mission until 50 out of 50 states have all of these tenants of the executive order implemented.”

EPA Exonerates Carbon Dioxide

February 16, 2026/in Climate Change, Elections, Energy, Environment, Featured, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Regulation, Science, Social Issues, Technology/by Family Research Council

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Thursday committed “the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history,” as EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin described it, by eliminating an Obama-era verdict against carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The 2009 Endangerment Finding functioned as the bottommost block in the Left’s Jenga tower of climate regulation, and the Trump administration hopes to save U.S. taxpayers more than $1.3 trillion by knocking it clear.

“The Trump EPA is strictly following the letter of the law,” Zeldin proclaimed, “returning commonsense to policy, delivering consumer choice to Americans, and advancing the American Dream.”

America’s two-decade mistake of treating carbon dioxide as a dangerous pollutant began during the Bush administration, when left-wing activists and progressive-leaning states sued the administration for not regulating carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act of 1963.

On April 2, 2007, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, in which a 5-4 liberal majority determined that carbon dioxide was a pollutant under the Clean Air Act, finding that its definition includes “any physical, chemical … substance or matter which is emitted into or otherwise enters the ambient air” and “embraces all airborne compounds of whatever stripe.” It directed the EPA to study whether carbon dioxide was worthy of regulation.

Of course, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant under any common understanding of the word. A pollutant is a substance that contaminates the surrounding environment with something foreign or harmful — like an oil spill or the harmful compounds that cause acid rain. Carbon dioxide, however, is the primary product of human (and animal) respiration and the primary input to the photosynthesis of plants.

Along with water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced in any combustion reaction involving hydrocarbon-based (CHX) fuels and oxygen gas (O2) — whether in a simple fire or in cellular energy production. It is therefore the natural byproduct of any carbon-based form of energy production, whether by wood, charcoal, coal, natural gas, oil, or some other product.

However, on December 7, 2009, Obama administration EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson found that atmospheric carbon dioxide (and five other gaseous compounds) “threaten[ed] the public health and welfare of current and future generations.”

This finding “led to trillions of dollars in regulations that strangled entire sectors of the United States economy, including the American auto industry,” Zeldin lamented. “The Obama and Biden administrations used it to steamroll into existence a left-wing wish list of costly climate policies, electric vehicle mandates and other requirements that assaulted consumer choice and affordability.” Since then, the U.S. government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars propping up green energy projects that were not ready for economic prime time, leading to widespread blackouts and lost investment in impractical electric vehicles. At the same time, the endangerment finding has been used to rachet up the fuel efficiency requirements on cars, making those cars more expensive in the process.

However, the EPA cited two more recent Supreme Court decisions that it said justified its decision to rethink the law. The first was West Virginia v. EPA (2022), which struck down a Biden-era carbon tax scheme based on the Endangerment Finding on the ground that such “major questions” of policy should be decided by Congress, not an agency. In 2024, the Supreme Court issued Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overruled the infamous Chevron test and reframed the level of deference due to agencies in rulemaking.

Following these decisions, President Trump issued a day-one executive order, “Unleashing American Energy.” In the order, Trump authorized an “immediate review of all agency actions that potentially burden the development of domestic energy resources,” which would include the 2009 Endangerment Finding.

The EPA’s decision came after an extended public comment period of 52 days, four days of virtual public hearings with testimony from more than 600 individuals, and approximately 572,000 public comments on the proposed rule. The extent of the feedback illustrates the magnitude of its consequences for American energy and business.

As a result of that review, the EPA concluded that the Clean Air Act “does not provide statutory authority for EPA to prescribe motor vehicle and engine emission standards in the manner previously utilized,” and therefore “the 2009 Endangerment Finding made by the Obama Administration exceeded the agency’s authority to combat ‘air pollution’ that harms public health and welfare, and that a policy decision of this magnitude, which carries sweeping economic and policy consequences, lies solely with Congress.”

Notably, the EPA ran “the same types of models utilized by the previous administrations and climate change zealots” and found that, “even if the U.S. were to eliminate all GHG emissions from all vehicles, there would be no material impact on global climate indicators through 2100.” The only effect such auto emissions standards would have is to make life more difficult for American consumers.

President Trump was present at the White House press conference announcing the EPA’s decision. “We are officially terminating the so-called endangerment finding, a disastrous Obama-era policy that severely damaged the American auto industry and massively drove up prices for American consumers,” he said. “This determination had no basis in fact — none whatsoever. And it had no basis in law. On the contrary, over the generations, fossil fuels have saved millions of lives and lifted billions of people out of poverty all over the world.”

Naturally, the left-wing response to the announcement was furious. NBC News memorialized the 2009 Endangerment Finding as “the legal finding that it [the EPA] has relied on for nearly two decades to limit the heat-trapping pollution that spews from vehicle tailpipes, oil refineries, and factories.” Unmentioned was the way that carbon dioxide also “spews” from human lungs with every exhalation, or the way that its “heat-trapping” quality prevents the earth from turning into the dark side of Mercury at night.

Of more substantial impact, major environmental groups have promised to challenge the decision’s legality. The Trump administration would likely have to ask the Supreme Court to overturn Massachusetts v. EPA.

In the meantime, however, the Trump administration has smashed the rule “referred to by some as the ‘Holy Grail’ of the ‘climate change religion,’” as Zeldin put it. It “didn’t just regulate emissions, it regulated and targeted the American dream,” he said. Even more fundamentally, the Trump administration has exonerated the essential, natural compound of carbon dioxide. As Interior Secretary Doug Burgum weighed in, “CO2 was never a pollutant.” And it should never have been regulated as one.

The Conundrum of President Donald J. Trump

February 15, 2026/in Commentary, Elections, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues/by Linda Goudsmit

I have learned to trust my instincts and that when things don’t make sense something else is going on. America 1st President Donald J. Trump has done extraordinary things to strengthen the United States and Make America Great Again (MAGA). Journalist Joan Swirsky lists the extraordinary first-year accomplishments of President Trump ’45 (2016-2017) in her September 6, 2025, article posted on The Post & Email, “A Fitting Diagnosis: Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

The 2016-2017 Trump presidency was remarkable for its stunning accomplishments… high employment across all demographics, energy independence to last a thousand years, foreign actors paying their fair share into NATO (for the first time), a significantly strengthened U.S. Military, widespread deregulation resulting in billions of dollars saved, the unprecedented Abraham Accords in the Middle East that helped lessen long-standing Middle East tensions, expanding access to affordable healthcare choices, and lowering drug prices, on and on and on.

Swirsky continues listing the accomplishments of Trump ’47 with:

… employment is high, Wall St. is pipping and popping, cesspools of crime like D.C. are being cleaned up, illegal criminals are being deported, wars that raged on for years are being ended, vicious anti-Semitism in American colleges and universities is being aggressively sanctioned, but the derangement and obsessiveness only grow. In fact, writer Zoe Tillman documents that just since President Trump’s second term began this year [2026], 74 Lawsuits Have Already Been Filed. But records show that he has been largely successful in fighting this rabid lawfare onslaught by dozens of partisan leftwing judges, to the everlasting handwringing and hysteria of the Get Trump cabal.

The virulence with which President Trump’s steadfast commitment to his America 1st MAGA policies and protocols have been attacked by the radical leftist Democrat party and its globalist handlers is staggering. Yet recently there has been a deeply concerning shift in President Trump’s own Middle East policies and protocols that threaten his own America 1st MAGA commitments. We begin with President Trump’s steadfast commitment to peace in the Middle East and his unwavering commitment to the sovereignty of the State of Israel––the singular democracy in the Middle East.

The land of Israel is the seed and source of Western civilization where Judaism, the first monotheistic religion, was born over 3,000 years ago. Israel is also the birthplace of Jesus Christ, born a Jew who became the first Christian approximately 2,000 years ago. Israel is the birthplace of the Judeo-Christian infrastructure of Western civilization, and its global importance in geopolitical policies and protocols cannot be overstated. Islam, which came into being approximately 1400 years ago, six centuries after Christianity and sixteen centuries after Judaism, has laid its claim to Israel because Muslims consider Jerusalem the third holiest city after Mecca and Medina. According to Islamic doctrine the Prophet Muhammad’s Night Journey miraculously transported him from Mecca to the “Farthest Mosque” in Jerusalem where he prayed, ascended to heaven, and received instructions that include praying five times a day.

Doctrinal Islam is central to the illusiveness of peace in the Middle East (ME). All religions are not the same and all ideologies are not equal. The United States of America is the greatest experiment in individual freedom the world has ever known. It is the first system of governance to establish a separation between religion and state. This separation is an essential component of Americanism. Islam has no such separation. To the contrary, five-times-a-day prayer is a daily reminder to Muslims worldwide that no separation exists between their religious selves, their personal life, and Islam’s religious governmental authority. Religious sharia law governs all aspects of Muslim life; there is no individual freedom in Islam.

Islam is not a religion like any other. Islam is a theocracy. It is a supremacist, expansionist, binary, sociopolitical replacement ideology with a religious wing. Islam distinguishes itself in its founding 7th-century doctrinal text, the Qur’an, as the only “religion” on the planet that advances genocide against non-believers––Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians. For 1400 years Muslims have been taught that there will only be peace on Earth when all the world is Muslim, which means after the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate. The tactical method for achieving the Islamic caliphate is jihad which has two faces. Violent Islamic terrorism that specifically targets civilians, and polite stealth jihad that pretends peace while making war on non-believers using its twin signature tactics––taqiyya (lying in the service of Islam) and hudna (ceasefire pauses used to rearm, resupply, and reattack).

“Death to America” is not an empty threat, it is the expression of religious Islamic doctrine and its stated expansionist goal of establishing a worldwide Islamic caliphate. Israel is the West’s Middle East sentinel and bulwark against Islamic expansionism. President Trump’s steadfast commitment to his America 1st MAGA policies necessarily require support for Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East (ME) and the symbol of our Judeo-Christian tradition. The President’s recent shift in ME policy does not make sense and requires examination.

When things don’t make sense something else is going on––the shift.

1. After the savage October 7th (2023) Hamas invasion and attack on Israel, President Trump was squarely committed to protecting Israel, America’s ideological and strategic ally in the ME.

2. In September 2025 President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the Gaza Peace Plan. During the announcement President Trump specified that if Hamas does not accept the peace deal, “Israel would have my full backing to finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas.” The announcement was reported on The Geller Report and posted on Dr. Rich Swier’s blog, September 30, 2025, “One of the Greatest Days Ever in Civilization”: Trump and Netanyahu’s Gaza Peace Plan.” The article includes the text of the plan:

Trump’s full 20-point plan to end Israel’s war in Gaza:

Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.
If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.
Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.
Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1,700 Gazans who were detained after Oct. 7, 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.
Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty.
Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the Jan. 19, 2025.
Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties.
Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic. … Trump will chair a supervising “Board of Peace” to oversee the new government, set to include and former British Prime Minister and others.
A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East.
A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.
No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.
Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form.
A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.
The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza.
Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw.
In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.
An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis.
While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

The article quotes President Trump:

The President also criticized the countries that “foolishly” recognized a Palestinian state but explained that they did so because “they’re tired of what’s been going on for so many decades. The Presidents and Prime Ministers, when they deal with the Middle East, talk about the same thing over and over.”

Reviewing the history leading up to the war, he recounted: “The Palestinians elected Hamas. Israel withdrew from Gaza, thinking they would live in peace, remember that? But that didn’t work out; there was the opposite of peace. I never forgot that, because I said, ‘That doesn’t sound like a good deal to me, as a real estate person, they gave up the ocean.’ They gave up the most magnificent piece of land in the Middle East and said all we want to do now is have peace, and that request was not honored.”

“Instead of a better life for the Palestinians, Hamas diverted resources to build over 400 miles of tunnels and terror infrastructure, rocket production facilities, and hid military command posts and launch sites in hospitals, schools, and mosques, so if you went after them, you’d end up knocking out a hospital, school, or a mosque.

“I challenge the Palestinians to take responsibility for their destiny.”

3. Hamas and Islamic Jihad immediately refused to disarm. An October 17, 2025, article by journalist Joshua Klein describes the situation, “Hamas and Islamic Jihad Defy Trump’s Ceasefire, ‘Negotiating with Himself’; No Disarmament Commitment.” President Trump’s 20-point peace plan was met with derision and disrespect from Mohammed Nazzal, a Jordanian-born senior Hamas politburo member based in Doha, Qatar:

Speaking Wednesday from Doha, where Hamas’s political leadership has resided for years, Nazzal went further — declaring Hamas intends to maintain armed control over Gaza indefinitely. “On the ground, Hamas will be present,” he stated, directly contradicting Trump’s plan requiring the terror group to cede all security functions to a technocratic civilian administration overseen by international monitors.

Islamic Jihad deputy secretary-general Muhammad Al-Hindi told Qatari news media outlet Al Jazeera, that “Hamas and the resistance have not agreed to disarm,” and dismissed Trump as “fundamentally ignorant of the region.”:

“He does not understand the history, beliefs, and culture of the region,” the Islamic Jihad official claimed, adding that Trump cares only about “deals and investments.” Al-Hindi also rewrote history entirely, claiming “Islam has been in the region for less than 1,400 years. Where was Israel 3,000 years ago? It existed for a little more than 70 years” — erasing millennia of Jewish civilization in the land of Israel.

President Trump responded:

On Thursday — one day after Nazzal’s interview and two days after Al-Hindi’s rejection — Trump escalated his ultimatum in response to Hamas’s continued killings and violations.

“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” Trump wrote on Truth Social following a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The president also told reporters Thursday he expects Hamas to honor its word. “We have a commitment from them, and I assume they’re going to honor their commitment,” Trump said.

Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad have now made explicit they will not disarm until Palestinian statehood is achieved — inverting Trump’s framework entirely by demanding political concessions before security guarantees instead of the reverse.

That position is fundamentally irreconcilable with both Israel’s core security requirements and Trump’s peace plan, which makes immediate disarmament a precondition for any reconstruction or governance transition. Their defiance now threatens to collapse the agreement altogether — and Trump has made clear that further violations will be met with force.

4. Then Saudi Arabia weighed in. Journalist Danny Zaken reports on October 16, 2025, “Trump Gaza plan on verge of collapse, warns Saudi Arabia and UAE.” Excerpts from the article:

Due to what they describe as the mediators’ leniency regarding Hamas’ refusal to disarm, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain have issued warnings that the effort to end the war is at risk of collapsing. Arab and US diplomatic sources confirmed to Israel Hayom that messages to this effect were sent by the Gulf states of the moderate Sunni axis to the White House and to the architects of the Gaza plan, President Donald Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. …

In their latest communication with Washington, the Saudis warned that unless there is a decisive US response and a change in approach by the mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey—to enforce the plan’s terms on Hamas, Saudi Arabia will not participate in the continuation of the process. A Saudi diplomatic source confirmed to Israel Hayom that such messages were delivered to the Americans.

He said that for months Saudi Arabia has made clear its position: there is no viable solution to the war in Gaza or to the future of the Palestinians in general as long as Hamas remains part of the equation. “This organization has inflicted enormous harm on the Palestinian people, a war that led to the deaths of tens of thousands of its own, the destruction of the entire Gaza Strip, and now it insists on preserving the muqawama (armed resistance)?”

He added that it is “a resistance that has caused a catastrophe even worse than the Nakba. It is absolutely clear that Hamas will sabotage any force—Palestinian, Arab, or international—seeking to restore order in the Strip. As long as there is no serious move to eliminate Hamas’ influence and control over Gaza, there is no chance of its rehabilitation and reconstruction.”

In the messages sent to the US, it was explicitly stated that Saudi Arabia is downgrading its level of engagement in the implementation of the Trump plan, and that it is unlikely to attend the reconstruction conference Egypt plans to host next month.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed did not attend the Sharm el-Sheikh meeting in Egypt hosted by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. According to a Saudi source, “Qatar was expected to help Hamas maintain its presence and return at an opportune moment.” This is a very credible statement considering Gatestone Institute contributing writer, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury’s November 28, 2025 article, “Qatar’s Campus Conquest: Importing Muslim Brotherhood Policies in a War for the Future of the West.”

Qatar continues to conduct one of the most extensive foreign influence operations in modern history. Through hundreds of billions of dollars — estimated at up to a trillion dollars — funneled into Western universities, research centers, media platforms and political advocacy networks, Qatar has become the leading global patron of the Muslim Brotherhood in pushing an ideological agenda aimed at reshaping democratic societies from within.

New findings by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) show that Qatar’s funding is not benign philanthropy; it is a strategic investment in Islamist soft power, with far-reaching consequences for the United States, India, Europe, and beyond. According to a shocking new report by the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), as well as Jihad in America: The Grand Deception, a 2012 film by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, the Muslim Brotherhood, along with its major patron, Qatar, has a dangerous ideological agenda aimed at undermining the West from within.

5. Hamas (Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya, or Islamic Resistance Movement) was founded in 1987 and is an offshoot of the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s 1988 Charter defines itself as “one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine” and states that the Brotherhood is the universal Islamic movement. Qatar donates huge sums of money and political support to both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Since 2012 it is estimated that Qatar has transferred over $1.8 billion to Gaza under Hamas rule and has been home to much of the Hamas senior leadership.

6. The Israeli hostages have finally been returned home to Israel, dead and alive, but Hamas has steadfastly and vociferously refused to disarm. In his February 6, 2026 report, “Former Israeli Hostage Revealed the Shocking Truth He Was Told by a Senior Hamas Official,” Avi Abelow quotes Segev Kalfon, who was “kidnapped from the Nova music festival and held for hundreds of days inside Hamas terror tunnels, has come out with testimony that should shatter every fantasy still floating around in diplomatic circles. Senior Hamas officials told him directly:

They have no problem promising Netanyahu that there would be no more October 7th massacres, as they would then massacre Jews on October 8th and October 9th instead.”

From Hamas’s perspective, concepts like peace, de-escalation, or restraint are not end goals but tactical language— deception used as a tool of strategy. They frame temporary truces as pauses—much like the early Islamic precedent of a hudna, a time-limited truce, exemplified in 628 with the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah when Muhammad agreed to a ceasefire with the Jewish tribe of Quraysh of Mecca after a failed confrontation. A pause that gave Muhammad the time to regroup and attack again at a later date, upon which he succeeded in conquering them.

President Trump’s envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff reflect a seismic shift in President Trump’s attitude toward Islam from naming it as an existential threat to managing it. Journalist Aynaz Anni Cyrus offers an incisive summary in her December 30, 2025 article, “When the Deal Replaces the Fight: Trump 2.0’s Islamist Turn.” I encourage you to read this important article in its entirety. I have excerpted the text below.

Tone and Narrative: From Naming Islam to Managing It

The difference between Trump’s campaign language in 2015 and 2016 and his presidential language in 2025 is not subtle. In his first run, he spoke openly about Islam as a civilizational problem, insisted on using the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism,” and attacked political leaders for sanitizing the threat. Naming the ideology was part of the message. Refusing to name it was framed as weakness.

In 2025, the vocabulary has changed. Trump’s speeches at the United Nations and across the Middle East emphasize peace, stability, and shared security. His partners now include Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and a post-Assad Syria led by a jihad commander. The language is managerial rather than confrontational. Islam is no longer described as a system that produces conflict, but as a world that must be balanced, negotiated with, and brought into functional arrangements.

Trump still speaks forcefully about border security and crime. He still uses harsh language when discussing migration and violence. But the target has shifted. The problem is no longer Islam as an ideological project with legal and theological demands. It is an abstract pool of bad actors from bad places, detached from doctrine, structure, or religious law. Meanwhile, specific Islamic regimes and Islamist actors are praised as partners, mediators, or guarantors of order.

The narrative shift is straightforward. Trump 1.0 cast himself as the barrier between Western civilization and political Islam. Trump 2.0 presents himself as the dealmaker who can integrate that same Islamic world into managed outcomes. The threat is no longer confronted. It is administered.

7. For me, the danger of the disparity between Trump ’45 and Trump ’47 is best understood with reference to an essential reference document, “The Explanatory Memorandum from the Archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” My dear friend Valerie Price, owner, editor, and publisher of Act for Canada, provided the summary below to familiarize her readers with its content:

April 24, 2019

Dear Members of ACT! For Canada:

Most people understand the threat of Islamic terrorism. Far fewer, however, understand that terrorism is merely one strategy of Jihad – holy war against Islam’s enemies – and actually a relatively ineffective one. Terrorism alerts people to danger. Although it may scare them into submission, it may also unite them against an easily identifiable and morally clear threat.

There is another form of Islamic holy war that is far more subtle, sophisticated, and difficult to oppose. It is called civilizational Jihad and it operates through peaceful methods, seeking to weaken western peoples from within by leading them to under-estimate the threat of Islam.

Civilizational Jihad involves diffuse forces that mingle in civilian life, deploying propaganda and misinformation. It infiltrates the school system and the culture at large to indoctrinate the youth and the general public to misunderstand the intentions, objectives, and methods of Islamic supremacism. It encourages non-Muslims to welcome Islamic operatives into government and other positions of influence.

The “Explanatory Memorandum” of the Muslim Brotherhood is a short document that explains the intentions behind pre-conquest Islamic infiltration. The document was discovered by the F.B.I. in a secret sub-basement in the Virginia home of a top Muslim Brotherhood operative and was later published by the Center for Security Policy. It outlines Muslim Brotherhood goals and strategies to establish Shariah Law in North America, stating that its plan involves “eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house.” It provides a comprehensive strategy as well as a convenient list of 29 Muslim Brotherhood-controlled groups, many of them still in operation in North America today.

This short, clear document is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the determination and long-term tenacity of those who wish to fundamentally transform North American society.

WE URGE OUR MEMBERS TO READ IT.

https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/CSP-Explanatory-Memorandum.pdf

The Explanatory Memorandum is a tactical manual for doctrinal Islamic expansion and conquest. It is the equivalent of reading The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx to understand the existential threat of communism. Israel is the bulwark against Islamic expansionism in the Middle East; the Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum documents its civilizational jihad against the United States. This means that Qatar and every other Muslim nation that supports Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are enemies of the United States. Trump ’45 understood the existential threat. What happened to Trump’47?

How is it possibly America 1st to embrace Qatar as an ally and peace partner?

What is going on?

I am a businesswoman and always always always follow the money. I was shocked to read Garrett Downs February 8, 2026 article, posted on Patrick Wood’s Technocracy News, “UAE ‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret 49% Stake In Trump Crypto Company, World Liberty Financial.” Patrick Wood’s introductory remarks provide an excellent article summary:

This is a stunning revelation into the mind of Donald Trump. Just before the inauguration, Trump’s crypto company, World Liberty Financial, struck a secret deal with the head of security in the UAE for a 49% stake for $500 million. The quid pro quo was for Nvidia’s AI computer chips. The reverse quid pro quo is that Islam gains another foothold in America. Why is Trump unequally yoked with one of the worst violators of human rights in the world? If you dance with the devil, your clothes will get burned.

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International describe the UAE as “severely restricted” in human rights: no elected legislature, no legal political opposition, no free speech, criminalization of most dissent, pervasive surveillance, and harsh treatment of activists and critics. In other words, it is a dictatorship. Other monarchies in the region are no better off.

Trump’s 2025 “Gulf investment tour” alone featured headline pledges of roughly $3.2 trillion dollars in announced deals and investment frameworks with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE—many overlapping with or reinforcing pre‑existing business relationships.

The Pax Silica Declaration was recently signed by the UAE and Qatar. Prospects are high that Saudi Arabia will join soon. Pax Silica tightly binds those nations to the US AI policies.

Trump is building his legacy as the Islamic President who bound America’s future to the mortal enemies of freedom and liberty. This is another level of the betrayal that we brought out in our book, The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America. This is not “Making America Great Again.” ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.

President Donald J. Trump and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are co-founders emeritus of World Liberty Financial which is run by members of the Trump and Witkoff families. This, in my opinion, presents a serious financial conflict of interest regarding United States foreign policy in the ME in addition to doctrinal Islam’s ideological conflicts with our Judeo-Christian infrastructure and sovereignty.

Additionally, on March 21, 2024, Forbes journalist Zachary Folk posted an article, “Jared Kushner’s $2 Billion Investment from Saudi Arabia: What to Know After Republicans Delay Subpoena,” reported details of Jared Kushner’s private equity firm, Affinity Partners, and its windfall from Saudi Arabia. Under the heading Key Facts:

* After Trump left office in 2021, Kushner quickly set up a new private equity firm, Affinity Partners, which raised over $3 billion in capital by 2022, with about $2 billion coming directly from the Saudi Public Investment fund, the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund.

* Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman serves as the chairman of the Public Investment Fund, and reportedly personally intervened to approve the investment and overruled a panel of advisors who called the sum “unsatisfactory in all aspects.”

* Kushner developed a close relationship with bin Salman while he served as a White House advisor during Trump’s presidency, helping to approve a $110 million weapons sale to the kingdom after it faced public backlash for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi—which the Department of National Intelligence later reported was directed by the crown prince.

Qatar’s particular role in civilizational jihad is in funding pro-Muslim anti-American educational indoctrination, a tactical operation of polite stealth jihad. Qatar has donated billions of dollars to buy chairs for “Islamic Studies” at universities which explains the pro-Muslim, antisemitic, anti-Israel, anti-Christian, anti-American indoctrination emanating from their curricula. Follow the money going to universities across America and you will understand the doctrinal roots of the anti-American sentiment of American students. This is civilizational jihad waged by Muslim nations that Trump ’45 knew were a threat.

Qatar’s funding includes buying media influence. Journalist Ariel Zilber explains in her December 11, 2025 article, “Dems rip Paramount Skydance’s hostile WBD bid over Saudi and Kushner-linked funding: report.” The recent hostile takeover bid of Paramount Skydance against Warner Bros. Discovery had backing from Saudi, Qatari, and UAE wealth funds and Jared Kushner’s private equity firm Affinity Partners. This is a national security threat. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff should immediately be relieved of their duties as special envoys to the ME and should be replaced with Secretary of Defense Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth who represent and embody the America 1st MAGA principles that elected Trump ’45 and Trump ’47.

On September 29, 2025, President Trump issued a shocking executive order “Assuring the Security of the State of Qatar.” It is difficult to understand Trump ’47’s stupefying action that guarantees the security and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar––an ideological enemy of the United States––against external attack. Only President Donald J. Trump can resolve the disparity conundrum between Trump ’45 and Trump ’47.

President Trump needs to end the charade of “peace deals” in Gaza and return to his America 1st MAGA tone and narrative that recognizes the existential threat that Islam poses to the United States of America. Demography is destiny and Islam is a replacement ideology that threatens Western countries with uncontrolled Muslim immigration accompanied by its hostile supremacist Islamic doctrine and its five-times-a-day prayer asserting there will be peace on Earth when all the world is Muslim. The societal ramifications of this are enormous.

Multiculturalism is a fiction regarding Muslims because there is no multicultural tolerance in Islam. There is only Islamic compliance to sharia law. Business deals and peace deals are all made in service to Islam’s long-term religious imperative to make the world Muslim. The world is in a 21st-century religious war between the Western Judeo-Christian tradition and Islamic doctrinal expansionism that demands conversion or death. The Jewish State of Israel is the current target of Islamic expansionism, but it is the Christian United States of America that is Islam’s primary target.

Islamic expansionism is visible and very real in Western Europe. It forecasts the future of the United States if we do not stop Islamic infiltration and expansion in our government institutions, our educational institutions, and our political institutions.

The fall of Britain began with the election of London’s Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan in 2016. The parallel election of New York’s Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani in 2025 is the beginning of the end of America as a constitutional republic. Mamdani’s brazen rejection of U.S. Constitutional law in favor of Islamic sharia law is his opening salvo. The United States Constitution and Islamic sharia law have irreconcilable differences, and America must divorce herself from Islam.

The laws of every country define and reflect its culture. Creeping Islamism is incrementally redefining Americanism in its effort to Islamize and conquer the United States of America exactly as it is written in the Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum––the Islamic manual for civilizational jihad in America.

Silence is no longer an option. It is time for all freedom-loving Americans to share and discuss this information with their family and friends. We must pressure our elected officials, including President Trump ’47, to reject Islamism and reclaim America to Make America Great Again!

EXCLUSIVE: A Look Into Trump’s Plans For ‘Rededicate 250,’ A Day Of Worship On The National Mall

February 13, 2026/in America 250, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Religion, Social Issues/by The Daily Caller

The Trump administration revealed to the Daily Caller its plans for an event on the National Mall focused on commemorating America 250 through worship early this summer.

President Donald Trump announced last Thursday that his administration plans to hold a faith event on the National Mall over the summer, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. The event, titled ‘Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving,’ is set to take place on May 17.

Acts will include Christian singers, religious leaders and personas, and members of the president’s cabinet. The events will take place over the course of the entire day, from 6am to 6pm. Doors will open at 4:30 am.

The festivities hope to “rededicate” the country by means of “speech, song, and storytelling,” according to Freedom 250, an organization created to plan the celebrations in conjunction with the White House.

Senior Advisor to the President Vince Haley spoke with the Daily Caller about these upcoming events. He shared how he hopes to redirect the country into one that prays for its leaders and adheres to the pledge of “one nation under God.”

The event will not just be a day of prayer, Haley explained, but a day of worship through speech and song, and a day of giving thanks for country’s history of success and prosperity.

“This particular event will surely remind people of the work of God in American life,” Haley told the Caller.

“So many messages don’t reach people because they are culturally not valued, but we value celebrating and recognizing people of faith, and how people of faith have understood God to be active in the 250 year history of our country,” he added.

Haley said the administration is in “deep conversation” with a number of musicians, artists, and other potential participants in the day of worship.

“So let’s say Secretary Hegseth speaks there. He could talk about the details behind Washington’s evacuation under fog from Brooklyn in 1776 otherwise the army is decimated, and people consider that to be a miraculous event,” Haley said when mentioning potential speakers.

President Donald Trump has often spoken about his hope to redirect the country towards faith, saying at a July 2025 rally, “As we chart our course toward the next 250 years, let us rededicate ourselves to one nation under God.”

Haley noted that the president considers himself to be a fierce defender of religion. He told the Caller that President George Washington’s farewell address has shaped Trump’s vision for the future of America.

Washington famously stated, “Religion and morality are indispensable supports” for “political prosperity.”

The country has been on a religious rise in the last year, especially among Generation Z. 45% of Americans between the ages of 18-29 consider themselves Christians, according to a 2025 Pew Research poll. President Trump proudly mentioned in his National Prayer Breakfast address that church attendance had gone up almost twice the rate as the year prior.

“Like President George Washington, we believe that religious people and religious institutions are at the heart of American success,” Haley told the Caller.

The event is set to take place on the 250th anniversary of the Second Continental Congress’s observation of a day of “fasting, humiliation, and prayer” in hopes of seeking divine fortune for the future of the colonies. This day of observance came just two days after a resolution was passed that instructed the Congress to propose the Declaration of Independence.

“We want to support a culture in which people feel emboldened to live out their faith and go to church,” Haley told the Caller.

Maduro’s End of an Era: Under President Trump, That’s What American Leadership Looks Like

A President Who Acted While Others Hesitated

President Donald J. Trump will be remembered by many Americans as one of the most consequential presidents in U.S. history not because he sought approval from elites or foreign capitals, but because he governed with clarity, resolve, and a belief in American strength at home and abroad.

From trade to border security to foreign policy, President Trump pursued his campaign promises with uncommon determination. His guiding principle was simple: America should never apologize for defending its interests or its people. That philosophy sharply contrasted with years of hesitation, indecision, and symbolic politics that defined prior administrations.

Holding Nicolás Maduro Accountable

One of the clearest examples of this contrast is U.S. policy toward Venezuela.

Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were indicted in the Southern District of New York on serious charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine trafficking, and weapons offenses against the United States. These indictments sent a powerful message: no dictator, no matter how entrenched, is beyond the reach of American justice.

Under President Trump, the United States treated Maduro not as a misunderstood strongman, but as what many Venezuelans and international observers recognize him to be a destabilizing force tied to criminal networks that threaten regional security.

The Biden Administration’s Words Without Action

President Joe Biden has acknowledged the brutality and corruption of the Maduro regime. Yet acknowledgment without decisive action changes nothing.

For years, Democratic-led administrations have relied on what critics see as a familiar pattern: sanctions without strategy, press conferences without results, and moral outrage without enforcement. Europe, too, has largely recognized the danger Maduro poses, yet remains paralyzed by indecision.

In contrast, President Trump demonstrated that leadership is not about appearing “politically correct,” but about being effective.
Media Silence and Political Double Standards

Perhaps most revealing has been the reaction or lack thereof from much of the Democratic Party and left-leaning media. Any success associated with President Trump is often minimized, ignored, or reframed negatively. Critics seem less interested in outcomes than in preserving a narrative.

Had similar actions or policies occurred under a Democratic president, they would likely have been celebrated as historic. Instead, what many Americans see is what they call “Trump Derangement Syndrome” taken to new extremes.

An Irony the World Can See

The irony is hard to miss.

Many Venezuelans both inside the country and across the diaspora have expressed appreciation for firm U.S. leadership and hope for accountability.

Meanwhile, some American political voices appear more eager to criticize their own country than to stand with people suffering under authoritarian rule.

When citizens oppressed by dictatorship wave American flags, while some Americans wave the flag of a failed regime, it raises an uncomfortable but necessary question about priorities and patriotism.

Conclusion: Leadership Still Matters

This is not about personality it is about results.

President Trump governed with the belief that American power, when used decisively and lawfully, can deter criminals, confront dictators, and inspire those who long for freedom. Whether one agrees with him or not, many Americans believe his record shows that strength, not hesitation, is what keeps the world safer.

History will judge. But for millions, the contrast is already clear.

LAWFARE AGAINST AMERICA: Soros-Backed Group Trains Jurors to Sabotage Trump Trials

December 29, 2025/in Courts & Law, Hot Topics, Lawfare, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism, Techno-Fascism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Geller Report

There is a war being waged against these United States, and pretending otherwise is an act of surrender, our defeat inevitable.

A Soros-backed NGO network is now openly working to subvert the American justice system from the inside. A newly formed Washington, D.C. group, Free DC, tied to Community Change and Community Change Action, is reportedly training residents to infiltrate juries as so-called “skeptical jurors” in federal cases involving President Trump and his administration.

Co-founder Alex Dodds openly boasted that jurors possess “enormous power” not merely to weigh evidence, but to judge the administration itself.

Critics warn that these sessions amount to instruction in jury manipulation and trial rigging — conduct explicitly prohibited under 8 U.S.C. §1503, which bars efforts to corruptly influence jurors or obstruct justice.

This is not activism. It is lawfare — and it strikes at the heart of the rule of law.

George Soros is, in some form, behind every action designed to destroy this country. Despite a crowded field, Geroge Soros has singlehandedly did more harm to individual freedom and the advance of life, liberty and Americanism than any other single individual.

Why hasn’t domestic enemy Soros’s citizenship been revoked? Why is this hostile foreign actor still allowed to undermine and sabotage our system of governance and law and order? He is, in some form, behind every action designed to destroy this country.

The ruin of this great nation is a longterm project for Nazi collaborator George Soros, who described his work confiscating property from the Jews as “the happiest days of my life.” In a CBS 60 Minutes interview, George Soros reflected on his time collaborating with the Nazis, “for me, it was a very positive experience,” “it was a very happy making, exhilarating experience,” “for me it was a very positive experience.”

“The Soros agenda is one of death and destruction in the name of open borders and ending Western Civilization,” warned Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project at the Conservative Heritage Foundation.

President Trump: “Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess. I’m fixing it.”

December 18, 2025/in America 250, Elections, Energy, Featured, Hot Topics, Labor & Unions, News, Policy, Politics, Promoted Video, Science, Social Issues, Taxes, Technology/by The White House

President Trump delivered a powerful year-end address from the White House’s Diplomatic Reception Room, emphasizing his administration’s achievements in his first 11 months back in office.

WATCH: A message of hope for an American Revival.

He described the first year of his consequential second term period as an “historic comeback,” blaming the previous Biden White House for economic and security failures and promising an unprecedented American Renaissance of economic prosperity ahead.

Inherited Challenges and Rapid Fixes: Trump repeatedly stated he “inherited a mess” from the Biden administration, including high inflation, an open border, and economic ruin. He claimed his team turned things around quickly, saying, “Over the past 11 months, we have brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in American histHe added that the U.S. went from “worst to best” on the border and halted “the Democrat inflation disaster.”
Achievements and Future Boom: Trump highlighted declining costs for gasoline ($2.50/gallon in much of the country), cars, hotel rates, airfares, and mortgages (down $3,000 annually). He touted a “national energy emergency” declaration, reverse migration creating more jobs and housing for Americans, and securing $18 trillion in investments for jobs and growth.
“The largest tax cuts in American history,” saving families $11,000–$20,000 yearly, and the biggest tax refund season ever in spring 2026. Trump also mentioned health insurance reforms for better benefits at lower costs, dramatic reductions in prescription drug prices via “TrumpRx,” and an upcoming “aggressive housing reform” plan. He described the nation as “poised for an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen,” crediting tariffs despite public concerns over costs.
Border Security & Immigration: He claimed the border is now “the strongest in the history of our country,” with mass deportations of criminals, a 94% drop in drug inflows by sea, and reduced crime in cities. Trump blamed immigrants for stealing jobs, inflating costs, and straining resources, including false claims about Somalis in Minnesota. He also mentioned “decimating” drug cartels through military strikes on boats.
Foreign Policy and National Security: Trump boasted of restoring American strength, settling eight wars in 10 months, destroying the Iran nuclear threat, ending the Gaza war (bringing “peace for the first time in 3,000 years”), and securing hostage releases. He notably avoided discussing escalating tensions with Venezuela, such as the recent oil tanker blockade.
Military Support and Cultural Issues: A key announcement: a “Warrior Dividend” of $1,776 sent to over 1.45 million military service members before Christmas, funded by tariffs and honoring the nation’s 1776 founding.
Ending gender bending nonsense: Trump told Americans his administration has “broken the grip of sinister, woke radicals in our schools” and opposed men competing in women’s sports.
Debunking Democrat Blame Game: President Trump correctly pointed out that the Democrat “Affordable Care Act” is anything but affordable. He pledged to end the insane waste of Billions of dollars in federal tax credits bloating the profits of big insurance while Americans still struggle with medical costs. He is strongly advocating for a strong common sense Republican alternative which would send those billions instead to Americans through health savings accounts. that wouild allow consumers to shop for affordable coverage. it would also unleash the free market by driving down costs through real competition.

American Fusion Will Drive America’s Energy Renaissance

JD Vance Is Getting Ahead Of Democrats’ Biggest Midterm Weapon

December 12, 2025/in Assassination attempt, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Regulation, Social Issues, Social Media/by The Daily Caller

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are hitting the road to tout the administration’s economic policy, and Vance is seemingly playing the long game in combatting Democrats’ effective “affordability” messaging.

Trump visited Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, kicking off a year-long tour across the country to ease voters’ concerns about the economy. The affordability crisis has been top of mind for the GOP going into a midterm year following some key wins from Democrats who campaigned on the issue.

Vance, who is set to appear in Allentown, Pennsylvania, next Tuesday, has typically acknowledged voters’ struggles when talking about the economy and requested patience as the administration works to make things more affordable. Trump, contrastingly, has shown frustration with Americans’ feelings on the issue as polls continue to show voters aren’t satisfied with his handling of the economy.

“I inherited a MESS from the Biden Administration — The Worst Inflation in History, and the Highest Prices our Country has ever seen. In other words, Affordability, just 13 months ago, was a DISASTER for the American People, but now, it’s totally different! Prices are coming down FAST, Energy, Oil and Gasoline, are hitting five year lows, and the Stock Market today just hit an All Time High. Tariffs are bringing in Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we are respected as a Nation again,” Trump wrote in a Thursday TruthSocial post.

“When will I get credit for having created, with No Inflation, perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country? When will people understand what is happening? When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time, and how bad it was just one year ago?” he added.

While the president has repeatedly posted about and addressed questions on the affordability crisis, the vice president’s first extensive remarks on the economy came at a Nov. 20 fireside chat with Breitbart News. Vance asked voters for patience before repeating some key talking points the president has hammered — namely that Democrats are the ones responsible for Americans’ pain.

“The thing I’d ask for the American people is a little bit of patience. This economy was not harmed in 10 months,” Vance said. “And as much progress as we’ve made, it’s going to take a little bit of time for every American to feel that economic boom, which we really do believe is coming.”

The president and the vice president have largely hit the same message when talking about the economy. Both emphasize the strength of the economy and how their administration has made things more affordable. The duo also has branded Democrats campaigning on making things more affordable as a “hoax,” arguing that it is the party that made things so difficult.

But Vance has conceded that they haven’t achieved total success yet and has declined to dismiss Americans’ dissatisfaction.

“My message to the American people who are still feeling like things are unaffordable, who are still feeling like things are rough out there, is, look, we get it and we hear you and we know there’s a lot of work to do,” he said. “There’s a lot of wood to chop because the Biden administration put us in such a very, very tough spot.”

Joe Biden’s insane policies left American families unable to afford a decent living in their own country.

Through tax cuts, better paying jobs, and investment in American industry, President Trump is making America affordable again for working families one step at a time. https://t.co/XuynesfyEN

— JD Vance (@JDVance) December 10, 2025

Vance’s admission that things still need to get better seems tonally different from Trump’s more defensive posture on the issue, as the president has called people who question how much time he is spending abroad “stupid” and suggested such complaints don’t come from his supporters. He has vacillated between asserting to Americans, “You’re doing better than you’ve ever done,” and reassuring that prices will come down further throughout his presidency.

Trump has long taken pride in his economic success, especially during his first term. Vance notoriously comes from a rough, poor childhood in the Midwest.

A White House official told the Daily Caller that there’s no contradiction between Trump and Vance’s message.

“Even [Trump] has stressed that there’s more work to do, but our policies have a proven track record — just see [the] first Trump term — which is why they have made great progress and will continue to do so,” the official told the Caller.

In the first stop of his tour, Trump, after touting the prices his administration had lowered and the current strength of the economy, did admit there is more work to be done.

Prior to his softer tone on the tour, Vance seemed to echo the president’s frustration with Americans’ sentiments on the economy.

“I think I would certainly say voters are impatient. I think voters have every right to be impatient,” the vice president noted. “We are impatient, too, and we’re going to see if what we do and what we think we have to do converges with what the voters think we should be doing.”

Trump most frequently takes an aggressive tone. In his most recent cabinet meeting he blamed the media for drumming up concern about the economy.

“When you talk about affordability … are the American people, do you believe getting impatient with the reforms that you are making?” Fox Business White House correspondent Edward Lawrence asked during a cabinet meeting.

“I think they are getting fake news from guys like you. Affordability is a hoax. It was started by Democrats, who caused the problems of pricing. And they did not end it,” Trump said, going on to recount how he was elected because affordability was a problem.

“So we are bringing prices down. Way down. Beef is coming down now. We have done certain magic. Beef is coming down. We inherited horrible prices. We inherited really the worst, again, the worst inflation in history. We inherited that. When I came in, that was what he had and we fixed inflation. And we fixed almost everything if you want to know the truth, including eight wars. We got one to go, including eight wars,” the president continued.

Kevin Hassett, a top White House economic adviser, has also similarly appealed to Americans’ struggles while emphasizing that “Trumponomics” is going to work.

“We understand that people understand as they look at their pocketbooks and go to the grocery store, that there’s still work to do,” Hassett said.

In an interview with Politico which published on Tuesday, the president gave himself an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” grade on the economy.

“The word affordability is a Democrat scam,” Trump said during his most recent cabinet meeting.

Trump’s Resolute Stand Ensures Legitimacy in Executive Actions

In a move that underscores a commitment to transparency and proper presidential authority, President Donald J. Trump announced on November 28, 2025, the nullification of executive orders and other documents issued by the Biden administration that were signed using an autopen without the president’s direct involvement.

“I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally,” Trump stated in a post shared via the White House’s official X account.

This declaration highlights longstanding concerns about the authenticity of signatures during Biden’s term, suggesting that aides may have overstepped by using the device without explicit approval, potentially compromising the integrity of key policies.

The autopen, a mechanical tool designed to replicate a president’s signature for efficiency, has been a fixture in the White House since the mid-20th century. First popularized under President Franklin D. Roosevelt for wartime correspondence, it allows leaders to handle voluminous paperwork remotely.

Legal experts have long affirmed its use, as outlined in a 2005 Justice Department opinion during the George W. Bush administration, which deemed autopen signatures valid for legislation if authorized by the president.

However, Trump’s announcement pivots on the allegation that Biden’s team bypassed this critical step, estimating that up to 92% of Biden’s directives were handled this way.

This raises questions about whether such actions truly reflected the will of an engaged executive, especially amid reports of Biden’s delegation-heavy approach.

Trump’s initiative builds on his first-term practices and second-term promises to streamline government and reverse what many see as burdensome regulations.

Upon returning to office in January 2025, he swiftly revoked numerous Biden-era orders on issues like border security, energy independence, and federal equity programs — moves praised for restoring focus on American priorities.

The latest blanket revocation targets an estimated 149 out of 162 executive orders from Biden’s presidency, including those on environmental protections, vaccine requirements, and diversity initiatives in government contracting.

Supporters argue this ensures that only duly authorized actions endure, preventing unelected staff from wielding undue influence and safeguarding the constitutional chain of command.

Reactions from Capitol Hill and beyond reflect the polarized landscape, yet many view the move as a bold correction to perceived administrative overreach.

Figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have echoed sentiments that this could extend to revisiting other autopen-affixed decisions, such as pardons, to uphold accountability.

On social media platforms like X, discussions have surged, with users highlighting the need for presidential oversight in an era of complex governance.

One post noted, “Every time Trump has done an executive order/pardon, you see him signing it. He is not using autopen,” emphasizing a contrast in leadership styles.

Viral memes and commentary, such as “Arrest the AutoPen,” capture the public’s frustration with what some call a “puppet presidency,” fueling calls for greater scrutiny.

Critics, including Democrats, have labeled the announcement as unnecessary theater, with former President Biden dismissing it as baseless.

Legal scholars point out that while presidents can rescind prior orders, challenging them solely on the signature method is uncharted territory. “Autopens have been used by every modern president,” noted one expert, though acknowledging the debate over authorization protocols.

Environmental and civil rights groups are preparing challenges, arguing that abrupt changes could disrupt ongoing programs tied to international commitments like the Paris climate accords.

Yet, proponents counter that such reversals allow for policies better aligned with economic growth and national security, free from what they describe as unchecked bureaucratic expansion.

The broader implications touch on executive power in a divided nation. Trump’s post, garnering millions of views, amplifies discussions about trust in government processes.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has commended efforts to “restore presidential integrity,” while international outlets report allied concerns over potential shifts in aid and trade directives.

Domestically, federal agencies are reviewing impacts, potentially pausing initiatives on green energy and immigration that many conservatives argue have strained resources and borders.

At its heart, this development addresses deeper anxieties about leadership authenticity during Biden’s tenure, marked by perceptions of heavy staff reliance amid health speculations. White House logs suggest routine reviews, but investigations have uncovered instances of autopen use for sensitive matters, prompting Trump’s team to act decisively.

This isn’t unprecedented — presidents often undo predecessors’ work, from Obama’s reversals of Bush policies to Trump’s dismantling of the Iran nuclear deal. However, the scale here emphasizes a return to hands-on governance, appealing to those who prioritize direct accountability.

As courts prepare for inevitable challenges, possibly escalating to a Trump-influenced Supreme Court, the episode reinforces the dynamic nature of American policy. Federal actions embedded in law may require congressional input to fully unwind, but the initial stroke signals a proactive agenda.

For many, it’s a welcome reset, clearing the path for initiatives focused on prosperity and sovereignty.

Trump framed the action as essential housekeeping, a “beautiful resolute” step toward efficient rule. In a time of rapid change, it reminds us that enduring policies demand unquestionable legitimacy. As 2026 approaches, this could energize efforts to fortify borders, boost energy independence, and curb federal overreach – priorities long championed by those seeking a stronger America.

Stop Dragging the U.S. Military Into Anti-Trump Politics

November 26, 2025/in Commentary, Elections, Hot Topics, Marxism, News, Policy, Politics, Propaganda, Regulation, Socialism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Oladigbo Oluwasogo Olalekan

One of the great strengths of the United States has always been the clear separation between civilian politics and military professionalism. Presidents change, parties rotate in and out of power, and political arguments flare up—but the armed forces remain steady, disciplined, and loyal to the Constitution.

Today, however, many Americans are becoming increasingly uneasy. They worry that certain Democratic lawmakers, driven by intense political hostility toward former President Donald Trump, may be crossing lines that could unintentionally sow discord within the ranks of the U.S. military.

This concern is not about disagreement. Democrats and Republicans have always disputed policy. That is the heartbeat of a healthy democracy. The issue arises when political rhetoric touches the military chain of command—one of the most sensitive pillars of national stability.

Recent comments by several Democratic lawmakers—including individuals with military or intelligence backgrounds such as Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan—have sparked controversy. Their public discussions about resisting what they describe as potential “illegal orders” from President Trump have been interpreted by critics as blurring the line between necessary constitutional caution and political messaging that could create confusion within the armed forces.

To be clear: elected officials absolutely have the right to warn against unlawful directives from any president. That safeguard is part of the American system. But when members of Congress make statements that can be read as urging the military to distrust or pre-judge the commander in chief, they risk undermining the unity, discipline, and non partisanship that America depends on.

President Trump responded forcefully, calling such rhetoric “seditious.” The lawmakers in question then portrayed themselves as victims, accusing Trump of incitement. But they have largely dismissed concerns about the potential implications of their own messaging.

Even if these Democrats intended to promote constitutional vigilance, the perception created is dangerous. When military officers hear politicians imply that the armed forces should be prepared to question the legitimacy of presidential orders based solely on political fears, the seeds of division can be planted—whether intentionally or not.

With Secretary of War Pete Hegseth now reportedly investigating the matter, the stakes could not be higher. America cannot afford even the appearance of political parties attempting to shape military loyalty.

At a time when global adversaries are eager to exploit any sign of internal weakness, U.S. leaders—on both sides—must treat military cohesion as sacred. Political disagreements should never spill into the chain of command. No hatred for a political figure, Trump included, should ever justify messaging that risks confusion or distrust among the men and women who defend the nation.

Democrats, like all political actors, must remember that presidents come and go, but the nation remains. The military is not a tool for partisan battles. It is a national institution that deserves protection from political chaos.

America needs its leaders to rise above resentment, reject rhetoric that threatens unity, and reaffirm their commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the armed forces. The country is stronger when political fights stay in the political arena—not in the barracks.

Arctic Frost Only The Tip

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed Tuesday that the FBI’s election-related investigation into President Donald Trump, launched in 2022, swept in dozens of Republican entities, including the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. Speaking during a hearing focused on oversight of the FBI, Grassley said the investigation, which the bureau called “Arctic Frost,” was partisan in nature and that its expansive scope was evidence of that.

“In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump,” Grassley said. “It was a vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”
