On the anniversary of his attempted assassination, President Donald Trump takes questions from the media after arriving at Joint Base Andrews.
Thoughts on the anniversary: ““God was protecting me. Maybe because God wanted to see our country do better, or do really well. Make America great again.”
Thoughts on Russia: “I am very disappointed with President Putin. I thought he was somebody that meant what he said — and he’ll talk so beautifully, then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.”
Thoughts on Patriot Missiles: I haven’t agreed on the number yet, but they’re going to have some because they do need protection, but the European Union is paying for it. We’re not paying anything for it, but we will send it. … we will send them Patriots which they desperately need.”
Thoughts on Bongino Staying: “”Oh I think so. I did, I spoke to him today. Dan Bongino, very good guy. I’ve known him a long time. I’ve done his show many many times. He sounded terrific, actually. No, I think he’s in good shape.” WATCH:
.
I know one thing, we’ve got to “make hay while the sun shines,” we’ve got to get out there and start Making America Great Again. The world doesn’t turn on what Tucker Carlson or anyone else says. Quibbling and bickering is a ball and chain – MAGA is in motion.
That’s the spirit!
Amen!
4years. It took 4 years for the Biden handlers to completely corrupt, pervert and destroy our country. If the evil is not dealt with then this is all for naught. Ignoring Epstein is ignoring the long term.
Correct, they gave us 50 years of inflation in like 2-3 years….. this problem must be resolved and that starts with eliminating taxes across the board.
Excellent. Meanwhile we do whatever we can whatever else new demon “shenanigans” come up. Keep praying for PDJT ad his family, his helpers and allies. We wait with faith and fortitude for when in good time, all the perps will be in chains. I post on Truth and many do too, with encouragement and how we the people are all better off now, and with prayers. It can be lonely at the top.
No doubt!
Goose gonna spread your msg around. Definitely what everyone needs to hear. God bless
Susie Wiles knows how to make hay while the sun shines and not chase rabbits down unending holes.
True that🇺🇸
Very true!
PA Trump Rally Shooter Building Reportedly Owned by BlackRock, Managed by Frmr Executives from Pfizer | The Gateway Pundit:
Pretty sure we knew all this
We, yes. But not “we”.
“We” don’t even know why Crooks had so many cell phones. Or why his house was scrubbed right after the incident. Or why a white-shoe Pittsburgh law firm began representing his decidedly not-rich family. Or …

Alarming Report: Current Secret Service Director Sean Curran Signed Off on Unacceptable Security Plan the Day Before Butler Rally Where Trump Was Nearly Killed | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger https://share.google/DtF1YrSL8okULJb7i
Moreover, Curran was responsible for promoting the two, and all three have escaped discipline. Crabtree then highlights an interesting fact from a Homeland Security Committee report on the assassination attempt, which was authored by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY): the details on these disciplinary actions were hidden from the committee until Paul issued a subpoena for them on July 1, 2025.
Under a Trump-appointed director, no less.” …….
1 year later…
And what do I know about the Butler Attempted Assassination???
Not much more than I knew in the immediate aftermath.
“Nothing to see here”
(Sarcasm)
“Hey, there’s a rooftop about 150 yards from where the candidate for president will speak, and we have no plans to watch it.
What could go wrong?”
yep. And pretending about him could be deadly.😳
So what? Doesn’t hurt anybody to repeat it.
Actually no, that piece of news I missed.
how and when? i don’t remember.
Bizarre because he was in a Black rock commercial in high school.
Means, motive, opportunity
Every single bit of it cuz Hillary wasn’t supposed to lose
If I recall correctly, the golf course shooter a couple of months later (I forget how to spell his name) was also connected with Blackrock in some way, wasn’t he?
If I recall correctly, the golf course shooter a couple of months later (I forget how to spell his name) was also connected with Blackrock in some way, wasn’t he?
Routh, Ryan Wesley.
Don’t think he was/is connected to BR at least not on paper.
He appeared at a pro-Ukrainian rally in Kyiv and was photographed and at some point he allegedly gloated about recruiting ‘freedom fighters’ or mercs for the military of the Ukraine.
His trial starts September 8.
He filed a motion to fire his court appointed attorneys and represent himself.
The judge is Aileen Cannon.
The trial will probably be quite the circus.
Not sure if it will be televised; if it is, Court TV might carry it.
0.o
Federal district court, no TV coverage.

In other news, Glass House Brands owns the mariquana operation, where illegals were arrested in Camarillo CA by ICE. By gateway pundit. Those company names are similar🤔
Laura Loomer on X:
WHY IS THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE BUILDING NOT TALKING? AND WHY HAVE THEY NOT RELEASED A STATEMENT?
A veritable Who’s Who of Deep State Scumbags, Globalist Grifters, China Whores and CIA Cut-Outs.
Holy smokes….thanks for posting. I just wish more people would pay more attention to data like this….
Most people are caught up in dislike of the messenger & so they tune out the message.
Loomer, like AJ’s persona is off putting therefore the messages are not given attention.
Ignoring the fire because they don’t like the curtains…
Also look into the connection between the company that was ran out of there prior to the sale around early-2024. The ceo/founder had ties to the “Rino” representative (it’s been a year since I dive into it, but I think state rep).
Who was involved in choosing this site for “the rally”?
Some wily operator steered him there.
Really, then he should Sue!
Don’t know. But considering that CNN was covering it (since when do they cover a Trump rally in bum-f*ck PA?) AND the BBC was there, uh, they planned on capturing Trump being splodey-headed on live TV. They wanted a JFK Part II. Kill the opposition AND potential civil unrest as a big bonus. I often think about how things would have played out if they were successful. We’d be living in a very different world. Too bad it didn’t work out as planned for them. That sh*t goes deep. I only think that HRC wasn’t behind it because he’s still alive.
Actually, it was the Secret Service, Butler Police and PA State Police who were inside the building. From what I remember they had a command post there. The idiot kid was apparently only on the roof of the building which he used a small step ladder to climb on. I don’t think the building owners had anything to do with the shooting.
The third time is enemy action, Mr. Bond.
My feeling has always been that Cheatle , head of Secret Service, manipulated the security to make it very weak at Butler. Jill Biden had a huge detail that day in Philly and Trump was given an inexperienced (mostly) team who set up the event incompetently.
In addition, Crooks walked around undisturbed, even flying a drone earlier in the day, and somehow having access to the rooftop and a rifle (was it left up there earlier in the week) by someone?
There is a thin veneer of plausible deniability for the agents, but it reeks of set up to me. The crowd spotted Crooks, the local police interrupted him. Who took him out? He got off quite a few shots before he was neutralized. Then he is cremated before too many investigations cn occur.
And when you think of Russiagate and the way the FBI and CIA through Comey and Brennan deliberately and illegally framed that story against Trump, it seems clear this was another operation by team deep state to remove Trump.
Pretty sure the Biden’s knew an attempt would be made as well from a remark by Biden that” Trump would have other problems to worry about “shortly before the attempt.
Crooks was a willing patsy with a hero complex? He probably thought he would escape after the shooting. He was a small town guy and didn’t see the big picture, and lost his life deservedly.
A year later… and the assassination attempt on DJT has been mostly ‘buried’ by the msm.
The doj/fib/ss have done their best to do nothing.
“Nothing to see here” seems to be the mantra of the day.
Sometime in the next few months, it will be ‘revealed’, probably by a well-placed leak – that the ‘investigation’ is over… and that there is
‘No Evidence’ that the alleged shooter –
Crooks – was anything but a ‘lone gunman’.
And that
Nobody
Nowhere
Did
Nothing.
The doj/fib/ss are following the same playbook with each of the issues they need to deal with.
The “nothing to see here” refrain, along with the
always-popular ‘no evidence’ theme, will be repeated
For
Each of the issues regarding corruption.
By using it first on the Epstein issue… TPTB are looking for
the public to ‘buy in’ on the concept that:
‘Epstein isn’t important’.
The same will be used:
‘The 2020 election isn’t important’.
‘The Russia-Russia-Russia hoax isn’t important.’
‘Julian Assange isn’t important’.
‘Anti-Trump lawfare isn’t important.’
The DNC ‘pipebomb’ scare isn’t important’.
The murder of Ashli Babbit isn’t important.’
The treatment of J6 protesters isn’t important.’
And numerous other issues… will all be addressed the same way.
TPTB want you to accept the idea, that
‘Equal justice isn’t important.’
Jillbilly was an hour south in Pittsburgh, Mrs. Emhoff was in Philly that day.
Their denial is only plausible legally. We have eyes. That was left open deliberately. I can’t pretend to know who called the hit, but nobody with a functioning cortex can think that kid, acting alone managed to get off even one shot. Let’s project ourselves into that f*cking nerd for a moment. If he were (somehow) acting alone, drone flight and all, how would he know where to go? He’d likely be paralyzed with indecision and not do anything, much less confidently go where he needed to go where a rifle was likely waiting for him.
Did they promise him that if he took out the Orange Man that they’d protect him, and he’d finally lose his virginity to hot, liberal women that actually shave their armpits or something? We’ll never know.
This one and more besides, Gipper.
A warren that makes the ones in “Watership Down” look positively shallow.
We say NO to sweeping this under the rug and we speak exposure and Justice, Lord Jesus, Amen!
I truly believe it is Justice, with a capital “J”, we are all asking for, dear Gipper….in all things. A moral centre which has been destroyed in our nation.
How hard should that be?
Very to impossible from the looks of it.
Betsy, that’s because you’re making the mistake of walking by sight – not by faith.
All is not always as it appears to be…
But God…nothing is impossible for Him!
He is the God of Justice, don’t sell Him short. He’s likely getting ready to move.
He needs PDJT to get all the ducks in a row ready to be taken down – in God’s timing, and no one else’s.
To God Be All the Praise and Glory!
Amen!
I speak of earthly justice here, want.
Never do I lose sight of the Justice which awaits us all in the world which we itinerant travellers make our way towards.
We have been promised by the Lord Who keeps His every promise.
I keep my lamp lit and my armour on…
Impossible to man…
Yes…
Our moral center must be established again!
It’s 2025. Real justice looks a far way off. Pam Bondi is the AG. It’s a cruel joke.
And just you wait…
And maybe, let’s say, that on a Friday afternoon, the news dump will include a ‘leaked memo’ from the doj, saying:

A tangled nest of Snakes is often found under rocks.
Dear Mr. President,
Don’t forget to keep all your promises you made to me and MAGA nation! That’s all I ask.
My question is about ICE. Why are they so focused on the states that voted against trump and deporting illegals. Why not make states that want the illegals gone a priority?
Sevier County in East Tennessee is overwhelmed but no ICE.
It’s entirely possible that their intel leads them to where the worst can hide in; easier to get lost in metrosewer than a smaller town or medium city in a red state. You gotta fish where the fish are.
I don’t think ICE has enough agents to take on multiple cities at once so they concentrate their resources on a few cities at a time, Jenzi.
Because that’s where they mostly are. And at same time you make those states less blue.
East TN is a blip on the map compared to a single block in east LA.
AMEN!!!
Chicago is about a 12 hour road trip north and west….
I guess that there are not enough ICE agents and U.S.Marshals to get to every city. They are overwhelmed since the democrats let over 20 million illegals into America. You’re not alone with being overwhelmed. I don’t want to scare you, but if you have a weapon, don’t leave home without it. Getting dicey up here in the Philly area, and many other cities.
I read that they are trying to get the illegals out and take another census before 2026.
just a guess, but I think the strategy has multi pronged.
a. you go where the highest numbers of criminal actors are located. I mean homeland is obviously prioritizing criminals with records or in areas where illegals have been committing high percentage of crimes. That doesn’t really happen in red states relative to blue states
b. this action in blue states transfers power away from sanctuary city embeciles and politicos and does it in a clear and resounding way. The political after effects are yet to be seen, but I think generally you are going to see more centrist democrats move toward a conservative make america great vote. Remember, lots of these people got no security from their own leaders, with bass and newsom being the most obvious stupidos.
c. there is a political agenda also…it diminishes newsom as a candidate, as well it puts the records of city and state officials on the line and exposes them.
d. it forces businesses who dodge the law to reconsider whether it is a good gamble to “hire” illegals and defend them. Again, juxtapose that kind of insanity..where you prefer an illegal or hiring a citizen?
e. moreover, in red states local officials are cooperating with ICE and priorities are happening to follow up in those areas. Blue states are NOT cooperating, so that has to be a priority. You do the hard thing first, then you pick up the easier tasks.
f. Homeland/ice has recently indicated a hiring need for about 20,000 NEW agents. I believe this will get approved by Congress, but the BBB did not realize this in the budget, so I don’t know where the money will actually come from to pay for it. What this means at least is that homeland understand that in order to accomplish these tasks, they will need far more people to do the work. This is a good sign, that they are talking about more recruitment. I will probably look into it myself in a “different role” than the typical street LE. Depends on what their needs are and if they are open to a different kind of “contractor” relationship. I’m not the only person thinking what I could be doing to help protect my nations’ sovereignty and deport these criminals post haste. I have ideas.
these are just some general guesses.
God Bless America
To encourage the others.
Illegals = illegal votes
I think it’s because of prioritizing the very worst offenders who have taken shelter in mostly blue states
The OBBB was just passed. It increases funding for more agents, but you have to be patient while they are onboarded. Rome wasn’t deported in a day, you know.
Easy to identify those who don’t belong in a smaller environment, and then too pick them up when their turn comes. Similar situation in my area-I’m just gonna have to have a little faith.
Red states already cooperate with ICE. When someone gets arrested and found to be here illegally, the red states call ICE and hold that person until picked up.
No need to go where the system is already working. You gotta go where the system is broken.
Because the states targeted are also sanctuary states; this addresses other political matters. Plus the red state governors could do something on their own and work with ICE using state/local law enforcement.
Maybe now with the BBB and ICE expansion in the works, if you call, they will come. Even in rural areas in blue states, illegals are everywhere and no ICE. I think it’s the massive numbers, with fierce resistance, that ICE makes the most arrests so media can scream, hopefully scaring invaders to self deport!
I can’t answer that fully, but I can only guess that they’re focusing on where the biggest problems are. If I were trying to stop the national infestation, I’d be focusing on LA, SF, SD, NY and CHI. Don’t get me wrong, I have no trouble believing that a county in Tennessee is overwhelmed, but that’s like saying you saw a few roaches (no racial stuff intended at all) when you know that other building are absolutely infested. Eastern Tennessee has no idea what it’s like in Southern California, or South Texas, or ANY major city.
I’d like to believe that ICE will get there eventually, but resources are limited and priorities must be set. Personally, I’d love to see everyone illegal gone. I’ve has certain life experiences and have lived in different places in the country, and I can say first hand, that the “jobs Americans won’t do” is a complete fiction. Anywhere illegals that undercut local wage demand aren’t, Americans do those jobs.
In really infested areas, it’s all turned on its head. For example, Americans WANT construction jobs, but they are HARD to get, because the market is TOTALLY CONTOLLED by illegal Mexican labor. Also. guess what? They don’t follow the same “diversity” rules as legit businesses, and will not hire English-speaking (ESPECIALLY WHITES) people. Even if you’re Hispanic, but you speak English (bilingual is too much lol) you’re out! Local, Hispanic, English-speaking CITIZENS can’t stand this, not to mention the sizeable minority of LEGAL immigrants from Not Mexico.
I understand your frustration, but you have to cut out the worst parts of the metastasized cancer before even trying to get to the other places it may have taken hold if you want to even try to attempt to keep a dying patient (The US as we know it) alive. It sucks. I’d wish them all to the cornfield it I could.

Stop messing around w/Ukraine. Stop listening and playing up to Wimsey.
Exactly the right attitude.
The future must be the U.S. aligned with Russia vs China, on the international stage. The Chinese CCP are the remaining open communists, and any communist strain is pernicious. Any challenge to that alignment (eg. Ukraine) must be retired – the sooner the better.
Why would we align ourselves with the CCP, open communists?
Read it again…
My apologies. I skipped the “vs”.
An interesting proposition…
Perhaps; it may be difficult as Russia and China seem to be diplomatically quite close and not at present inclined to budge on that. And there seem to be other countries that are quite happy that they are so close.

Absolutely right. It is not accurate to say we are not paying for the arms going to Ukraine through NATO. The money is most likely an offset to member nations commitments on what they should be paying.
When it comes to Ukraine, Trump is aligning with NeoCons like Lindsey Graham. It is absurd.
Je needs to go very far away from Ms Lindsey, very quickly.
If you go back and listen to President Trump’s response to this question, he stated clearly that the European Union will be reimbursing the USA for the weapons HE chooses to send to help with Ukraine’s defense.
He explained that the USA has given more than 340 Billion and the EU has given about 120 Billion, so the USA will NOT be giving anymore; that the EU will have to PAY for the weapons that HE chooses to deliver for help with Ukraine’s DEFENSE.
You have to listen closely to what he says in his responses to the reporters questions.
I found him to be very clear in differentiating on this matter.
Well, they can pay for weapons, but that doesn’t replace the inventory.
Someone commented on here yesterday that part of that deal is our getting rare earths.
I know no more than that.
One Year after Butler, Secret Service, FBI Face New Questions | RealClearPolitics:
“…After hearing about the light suspensions this week, his widow, Helen Comperatore, lashed out at the Secret Service, calling it “garbage” and a “hot mess” and complained that neither Curran nor any Secret Service agents had ever met with her to explain how they allowed shooter Thomas Crooks an opening to kill her husband.
“We were all sitting ducks that day. Our blood is all over their hands. I am angry. I lost the love of my life. They screwed up,” Helen Comperatore told Fox News, while demanding far more accountability from the Secret Service.
Trump called Helen Comperatore after watching her interview and pledged to always be there for her. Curran phoned her as well, saying he felt heartbroken after hearing how she felt ahead of the one-year anniversary of the shooting in Butler. He agreed to meet with her to review the case.
Many Secret Service agents watching the heart-wrenching spectacle play out over the last 48 hours sympathized with the Comperatore family’s resentment.
The Secret Service press release announcing the slap-on-the-wrist penalties “might as well have been a Babylon Bee headline or a twisted episode of Antiques Roadshow,” one agent remarked to RCP. “Secret Service Appraises the Life of Corey Comperatore as Being Worth Somewhere Between 10 and 42 Days of Unpaid Suspension.”
“God bless the Comperatore family,” the agent added. “They deserve better from us.”” …….
Yes, especially given how a different administration is now in office. An administration which one would think would have more empathy for the Comperatore family.
You would think.
Why aren’t ss agents at least fired?????
The ss is now security theater.
The fib is America’s FSB.
Think about it.

It’s Sunday, a day to count blessings.
We had a huge blessing last year and in November and every day since inauguration day.
The dogs bark but the wagon keeps moving through town.
MAGA! President Trump deserves a salute and a little latitude to maneuver as he sees fit.
May God bless America and may God direct and sheild President Trump.
“I am very disappointed with President Putin. I thought he was somebody that meant what he said — and he’ll talk so beautifully, then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.”
Couple that with his kind words for the NATO representatives after his recent attendance at the NATO summit, and it appears President Trump has a new understanding of why European countries trust Putin about as far as they could throw the Kremlin. Perhaps it is dawning on others that Putin really does want ALL of Ukraine, and will sabotage any peace plan that would leave him with only the four provinces Russia has already annexed.
Russia has the GDP of Spain and up until the Ukrainian provocation had a military about 1/10th the size of NATO and a budget about 1/20th of NATO. In fact the Russian Army was actually just a home guard. Russia was never a threat to Europe or anyone else and still isn’t unless it’s attacked.
… until Putin invaded another country, causing Sweden and Finland to promptly join NATO. And as far as the size of the Russian army, they are largely using paramilitary mercenaries. Putin is the problem. Even 47 now recognizes him as a liar who can’t be trusted. Oh, and Russia wasn’t attacked. Russia invaded Ukraine.
If Putin really wanted to mess with their heads, he would send in an application for Russia to join the EU, or …. to join NATO. Uh … uh … uh … but … but … but
Russia was attacked. We staged a coup in Ukraine to overthrow the previous pro-Russian government with our own, and then promptly started building up our proxy state for the war we had planned with Russia.
Lindsey Graham in Ukraine in 2016, speaking to the Ukrainian military —- “Your fight is our fight, 2017 will be the year of offense”.
Nothing you have said falls within the definition of the word “attack.” Provoked, maybe, but not attacked.
@ Trapper provoked not attacked?! You sound like my worst toxic boss.
This is on the level of Union provocation at Fort Sumter in 1860.and the sanctions levelled on the Japanese by the US immediately prior to Pearle Harbour (and yes the provocative parties were in the wrong in those cases). This was such a high level of provocation it amounted to an attack.
And I hate Russia. It’s interference and that of the US and Europe lost me and my family our two countries in Africa but I will call out the truth.
Rosie? Is that you?
So what? Why should we care if Russia takes ALL of Ukraine? The Ukrainians would almost certainly be better off under Russian rule than European rule. Have you seen what the Euro rulers are up to these days? These are evil people.
Comment deleted by Admin…
That whole rant is insane, wishing death and destruction on Americans. Anyone who hates America that much, well, planes leave for other countries every hour, and once they get there they can say “hi” to Rosie and stay there.
Why should we care if Russia takes all of Ukraine? I don’t. Care, that is.
If Putin wanted all of Ukraine, then why didn’t the Russian military plan to supply and stage their paratroopers better the first few days when they nearly made it to Kiev? If he had wanted just the eastern part, why didn’t the Russian military blow the Dnieper bridges?
Was it “being humanitarian, Christian, and moral”? — that argument has been bandied about, but after 3 plus years of bloodletting it falls a bit flat; besides, it wasn’t believable in the first place.
Was it incompetence? — that’s a lot of incompetence of the most glaring kind
Was it brave Ukrainian resistance and military prowess? — while I take nothing away from the average Ukrainian, their military was improving but not by that much; Russia and Ukraine are near peers with regards to their warfighting ability with the Russians having a very large advantage in troop and equipment numbers; western aid came rather later on and should not have been a factor.
So…what is it then? By every rational presumption this war should have been won by the Russians by now, yet here we are.
Perhaps I’m not cognizant of all the facts. Still, one has to wonder just what exactly is going on.
And yes, I have my biases, which simply stated are that I don’t much care for either Putin or Zelensky and their respective governments. About the only use of them has been to kill Russians and Ukrainians and waste a lot of money — for what?
An excellent comment and an excellent question. Russia got the 4 Eastern provinces by a referendum the entire world views as rigged and refuses to recognize. Beyond that, it all seems like tragic, miscalculated futility. That is, of course, unless there are interests attempting to maneuver the US and Russia into a nuclear exchange so that those interests may then step in and form a new world order out of the rubble. Don’t laugh. There are indeed people that insane.
NWO, WEF, Chyna, ME, CIA…elimination of Christian countries…
I’m well aware that there are those who are indeed that insane, and that is a perspective worthy of consideration.
I’ve often wondered why the Russians went in when, with a bit of patience and diplomatic maneuvering, they could have kept their influence in Ukraine and perhaps extended it.
Tragic, miscalculated futility indeed.
This war has never made much sense tbh.

“Thoughts on Russia: “I am very disappointed with President Putin. I thought he was somebody that meant what he said — and he’ll talk so beautifully, then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.””
Certainly calling Putin a Two-face. Pretty close to calling Putin evil. Very close if not there. Clearly President Trump is not blind.
Tomorrow should be ‘interesting’.
Um , Trump has bombed people at night.
Um, what ‘people’ are you speaking of?
Uh oh…….

President Donald J. Trump, phone home.
“Serpentine, Shel !!!
President Trump: “We’re Going to Teach them How to Run Away” at Alligator Alley”
😂
”Oh I think so. I did, I spoke to him today. Dan Bongino, very good guy.
I’ve known him a long time. I’ve done his show many many times.
He sounded terrific, actually.
No, I think he’s in good shape.”
Me:
Gee thanks, you have convinced me with all that winning facts and evidence…
At least he spoke to him.. I really would hate to lose Bongino
The Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son of a #itch, barbarian, and chronic drunk. From Genghis Khan to Stalin. They have not changed. They never will and we will never learn, at least not until it is too late.
(General George S. Patton)
Somehow I think Putin has more fans here about than American Hero Patton.. But then, maybe there’s a slim chance I’m wrong.
Putin is less obviously a threat to our lives and freedoms than our own government is.
And I know Patton was no great historian, but you’d think he would at least know that Genghis Khan was Mongolian and Stalin a Georgian.
There’s an old saying “scratch a Russian and you find a Tatar.”
You should move back to Ukraine, Lol.
Let me guess…… You’re a fan of Zelenskyy’s piano playing talent.
Coming up on another American anniversary…

One of those lifetime events that you always remember where you were. (If you are “of the age” 😁)
I think Trump is making leverage out of nothing, like he has a talent for (such as tariffs).
Arm Ukraine to the teeth, and then Putin will agree the further bloodshed will be too high a cost. Then we can figure out the new lines on the map.
It’ll be tough for Trump because any movement that is positive for Ukraine will result in all the warmongers begging to keep it up. And Putin still distrusts the West, as he should. It’s tough, but I trust Trump.
Putin would be an idiot to agree to a ceasefire, which Russia’s enemies would simply use to resupply their Ukrainian proxy and continue the war.
Trump has basically done a complete 180 on his foreign policy positions from when he was running for office. Backing Graham for another six years in the Senate is a big “tell’ that they have gotten to him.
Ukraine would not “desperately need” Patriot missiles if they’d make peace. But they have zero incentive to make peace as long as Uncle Sam keeps shoving them back into the ring.
makes one wonder, seriously consider, who got what on the BBB, doesn’t it? like what kind of “concessions” were made on former red line principles.
I am not fan of perfect, good enough always works for me. but there are a few things that are not going to fly in my neck of the woods: when you promise to get us OUT of a war, to end the killing, you don’t send patriot missiles AND OTHER WEAPONS OF WAR THAT WILL BE USED TO KILL AND CONTINUE A WAR. That is not to suggest I am or was opposed to the bombing of the Iranian nukes sites. there were zero civilians losses there…none from our side, and by every account, both sources open and “other” Iran was given a very point blank warning and heads up to evacuate those facilities…and they did..they said so…So this is different. Not even the same thing as Ukraine. Not even close. A caliphate with nuclear weapons is unacceptable now or ever. Ukraine should be given zero weapons from President Trump whether directly or through the Nato. Europe has more than enough weapons to supply and furthermore it is Europe’s problem…they created it. encroachment and nulling the minsk accords led to this…and of course Obama…But that is what President Trump said he would do…end this war. Patriot missiles, f16, armored tanks, satellite guidance networks, Intel and “other” (contractors …”advisors”) is doing just the opposite.
and this is how President Trump expects will end this war. nonsense. I sense there were concessions made in the BBB…some give and take. the question is:
what exactly did President Trump get in return?
and was it worth the compromise?
serious questions. We ought to be given some answers about the 180 here.
because it matters. lives depend on it. We are now going to see a test of wills against a Russian military that has proven itself quite capable, is a nuclear threat and has made several public comments about using them. We all need to seriously think about what that really means.
God Bless America
If President Trump wanted to end the war, The US would stop funding all of Ukraine’s government and stop sending weapons. Let the Europeans step up in their back yard.
The war would end immediately.
Ukraine attacked the strategic bombers of Russia’s nuclear triad without President Trump’s knowledge. We are playing with fire thousands of miles away from the USA.
The TRUTH is always the best answer not the most popular or the easiest and it always works.
Trump should have understood that Putin is a Commie loving dictator with delusions of grandeur, who will lie, cheat and kill anyone who gets in his way, then there should have been no surprises about the invasion and reluctance to end the war and the millions he has killed.
““I am very disappointed with President Putin. I thought he was somebody that meant what he said — and he’ll talk so beautifully, then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.””
Stalin Putin Similarities
Vladimir Putin and Joseph Stalin share several notable similarities, particularly in their leadership styles, use of state power, and historical narratives. Both leaders have been compared for their autocratic tendencies, control over the secret police, and the use of fear and repression to maintain power. Additionally, they both have a shared view of history that downplays the suffering of non-Russians, particularly Ukrainians, and emphasizes Russian dominance.

Fragment found from the mostly destroyed library of H.G. Wells and dated April 26, 2131 –
Donald Trump was that rarest of commodities in the 21st century: a brilliant strategist, who also was a tactician par excellence, able in the heat of battle to adapt his plans to his foe’s forces and movement — and amazingly, to defeat them repeatedly, even when they had far louder media propagandists propping them up. Donald Trump had the last quality which defines genuine greatness in a movement leader: he foresaw the dangers of his foes, and prepared for them with care; he used ground, time, place, and fierce loyalty of his supporters to offset his foe’s greater airwaves weaponry; third, he adapted, again and again, to the enemy on the battlefield, shifting to compensate for the unforeseen and seemingly unforeseeable.
“Oh, I think so. I did, I spoke to him today. Dan Bongino is a very good guy, I’ve known him a long time. I’ve done his show many, many times. And he sounded terrific actually. No, I think he’s in good shape.”
And as RedState says tonight:
“So much for MAGA is crumbling, and cue the leftist tears. While nothing will be certain until Bongino returns to his post in D.C., it sounds as though a unified front is forming. With Thursday’s ICE raid on Glass House Farms in Camarillo, CA, which netted 361 illegal alien criminals and 14 unaccompanied minors, it is clear that this type of sting operation is only the tip of the iceberg.
Those who myopically focus on the Epstein files alone are missing the bigger picture.”
I call it kabuki theater, just like Musk
If Epstein was a CIA asset, it seems to me focusing on the FBI/DOJ “Epstein list” angle is diverting attention from what’s under the hood in the Brennan (CIA) and Comey (FBI/DOJ) criminal probe…BTW, anyone besides me find it odd that a criminal investigation of TWO ACTORS FROM TWO SILOS are packaged together as a single “entity” in terms of the news cycle narrative? We hear about the Epstein crap in February, then Bondi calls it a dud “nothing new in here”, and screeches “SDNY”, THEN “it’s on my desk”, THEN Kash and Dan fire blanks, THEN we hear there’s a criminal probe cooking after a Ratcliffe referral. Here are my questions:
1) Has the FBI actually completed their vetting of evidence not “disappeared” (pre-#47) from their agency?
2) Is FBI vetting the evidence provided by the CIA referral to assess stuff “disappeared” from FBI’s stash, or
3) Could Ratcliffe’s CIA referral be managed outside of FBI’s industrial size “Event Horizon” dual-action wiper/shredder machine?
That smarmy little weasel Andy McCarthy smugly pointed out there’s no jury in BarterTown that would even entertain the prospect of prosecuting either one of these DC darlings, so it seems to me this would leave us with “tribunal or bust”
Anyone?
Simple solution to the Bongino situation….
Fire Curren and put Dan in charge of the SS…
“I am very disappointed with President Putin. I thought he was somebody that meant what he said —”
Sounds like Trump is talking about himself. When trump said he was going to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, it was not Putin that stood in the way, it was western Intel. So it is western Intel that he should be disappointed at, as well as himself for not being able to control western Intel.
All what he says does, is show his own inadequacies, albeit unforeseen, not Putin.
Thank you, Sundance!
The hand of God saved Trump but I suspect He did not do it to raise tariffs or pass the BBB, or any other mundane act or policy.
Reading the mind of God is for the Prophets, but a consistent theme in the Bible is turning the people back to righteousness, and away from sin.
Hate to tell you this, Mr. President, but the Russians are going to achieve their stated goals. They are “bombing targets at night” because NATO was once poised on their borders prepared to invade. It was “WW3 by proxy.” So, Russia seized the military advantage by striking first. They’re not going to be “talked out of” an operation that is essential to their national security. You would feel the same if long-range missiles were, not in Cuba, but in Mexico or Canada – and being fired at you every day.
God knew all of this. Operatives know this at a point. It is upon each of us to live with honour, integrity, value, virtue. No matter what, it is upon us.
More of the same…sure much has a “nice” face to it to appease us, but the tells are there.
I consider this a short reprieve before it really gets nasty.
After the Soviet Union’s collapse, Ukraine had approximately 1,700 nuclear warheads.
The decision to disarm was influenced by the desire for international recognition and security guarantees from major powers.
In 1994, The Budapest Memorandum was signed by Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia, promising to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The United States and Great Britain are members of NATO.
20 yeas later Commie dictator Putin reneges on Russia’s agreement with the invasion of Crimea as he begins to fulfill his lifelong ambition to reestablish the glory of the old Soviet Union.
In 2000, Yeltsin tells associates/President Clinton that his biggest regret was appointing Putin as his Vice President/successor. Yeltsin, together with Mikhail Gorbachev, publicly criticized Putin’s plan as a step away from democracy in Russia and a return to the centrally-run political apparatus of the Soviet era.
So why is Trump so disappointed? He’s dealing with a filthy Commie dictator who puts no value on human life.
None of that spew is actually true. Russia is not a “Commie” country, and it was looking over its borders into Ukraine at a very large proxy army that was poised to invade. It decided to strike first, instead of pretending. It stated then what its objectives were, and weren’t. And they haven’t deviated from that. Yet.
If Russia wanted to be “the enemy of the world,” they could be. Maybe they want to be left alone.
There are many people in Europe who want to defeat Russia, divide her up into about 45 impotent little countries, and steal all of her natural resources. (They even published a map, where they gave each one a name and a flag.) They don’t understand the impossibility of doing that: their greed blinds them.
NATO’s biggest problem now is that “Blackrock” doesn’t know what “World War” is, and doesn’t fear it. But, Russia does remember, and will never forget. Once every year, their “Ghost Regiment” marches again, in somber black-and-white procession. NATO does not know what they do, but Russia does. And that’s our best chance for peace. NATO would stupidly plunge straight into War – and off the cliff.
I said Putin is, was and will always be a Commie. Never said Russia currently has a Communist economic system, but their political system is very similar and it is why Putin has been the dictator-in-charge for 25 years. You sound like a Russian lapdog.
Interesting stuff.
Journalist John Solomon on The War Room says that there is a big DOJ investigation of the attempts to sabotage Trump’s election and presidency by government officials and that it will be in the news within a week or two. Hoping it’s true.
A zerohedge reporter is speculating that Bondi may be appointed Special investigator of the Russia hoax and if this happens it would solve the Bongino/Bondi problem. We shall see.
