In recent developments President Trump’s ‘project freedom’ operation to open the Strait of Hormuz for captured shipping interests has been paused following Saudi Arabia’s withdrawal of support and their revocation of Saudi air bases for U.S. operations.

The issue behind the Saudi decision is not that complicated if you understand the longer-term background.  However, the issue behind the Saudi decision also highlights a key ¹flaw in the Promethean analysis of the relationship (and the reason I caution everyone to sip slowly from this information source).

The cliff notes version is that Saudi Arabia and many of the Gulf States look at the negotiations between President Trump and Iranian interests with skepticism.  The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) wants a complete and final elimination of the threat Iran represents. They do not believe Iran can be negotiated out of that threat.  The GCC view negotiations as an Iranian delay tactic.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon, the main voice in the GCC position, has clear eyes and a long historic view on the threat Iran represents. They accept the people in control of the Iran regime will do and say anything to pause or remove the military confrontation; but they will never stop building the arsenal for war. There is zero, absolutely zero trust in anything the Iranians say on this matter.

As a consequence, Saudi Arabia understands the intent of President Trump’s request to support ‘project freedom’, however Saudi Arabia is not going to accept continued missile attacks from Iran during this ‘humanitarian’ effort to reopen the Strait. [Remember, this is also a Muslim Brotherhood issue.  The Brotherhood is the political network behind extremist Islam.]

President Trump is asking Saudi Arabia and the GCC states to view the continued Iranian attacks as small slights, small provocations, while he diplomatically tries to negotiate with the Iranian regime.  MbS and the GCC are unwilling to take this position, to accept these continued attacks against their nations, simply to give President Trump the political benefit of his policy.

Again, the Saudi’s and GCC have been dealing with this extremist threat for decades. They are unwilling to compromise in order to give space for negotiations they view as futile.  The U.S. can use all Saudi support venues to confront Iran militarily, but they are not going to support the political and diplomatic effort behind ‘project freedom’ while they are simultaneously expected to accept continued attacks from Iran.

Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action PAC does a great job with this video presentation of how Canada is the tip of the spear in how the EU and Commonwealth are trying to undermine President Trump.  In the background, this is where it becomes important for President Trump and President Putin to organize a strategic alliance.

“As attention focused on President Trump’s Iran breakthrough, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met European and Commonwealth leaders in Armenia and said the rules-based international order is over, arguing it will be rebuilt out of Europe around Canada, the EU, the UK, and Australia. The episode frames this as a rival power center consolidating against Trump’s America, then highlights Carney’s appointment of Louise Arbour as Canada’s Governor General, emphasizing the office’s powers and Arbour’s role as a UN tribunal prosecutor and advocate for creating the International Criminal Court, alongside references to George Soros’s Open Society support for the ICC and Jack Smith’s work there.

The script then covers a Trump administration press conference on beef, citing declining cattle numbers, ranch losses, and consolidation among four meatpackers controlling 85% of processing, and links this to decades of cartelization and foreign influence in food and commodities.”

During a White House event to celebrate Moms, President Trump introduced several prominent Moms in and out of government and celebrated their achievements.  As he often does, President Trump also delivered unscripted remarks to accompany the themed script of the event.

I’m highlighting one specific impromptu, off the cuff remark that deserves a little attention.  I’m certain somebody around Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will also bring it to her attention.  The moment happens at 35:51 of the video below. Watch (prompted):

…”drugs coming in by sea are down 97% and now we’ve started the land force, which is much easier.  And you’ll hear some complaints from some people in, like, representatives from Mexico and other places, but if they’re not going to do the job, we’re going to do the job and they understand that.”… 

Last week the DOJ indicted Mexican Governor Ruben Rocha Moya along with nine current and former Mexican officials for participating “in a corrupt and violent drug trafficking conspiracy with the Cartel to import massive amounts of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine from Mexico into the United States.” {GO DEEP}

Keep in mind, while the U.S. media are not reporting on the issue; however, every ground report indicates that indicted Sinaloa Cartel Governor Ruben Rocha is being protected in an undisclosed location by the Mexican National Guard.  Essentially, the Mexican military is protecting an indicted drug trafficker and politician in Mexico, while avoiding extradition to the U.S. That’s further context for President Trump’s remarks.

MEXICO CITY, May 6 (Reuters) – A U.S. indictment announced last week accusing several Mexican politicians, including the governor of Sinaloa, of having drug cartel ties is triggering a rift in the ruling Morena party as factions jostle ​over how to respond, posing a significant challenge for President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Publicly, Sheinbaum has denounced U.S. interference and said the evidence Mexico has seen so ‌far is not sufficient to arrest and extradite the 10 current and former Mexican officials accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of colluding with the Sinaloa Cartel to traffic drugs into the United States.

Indiana Governor Mike Braun is celebrating along with President Trump after the intransigent republican state senate refused a redistricting push and an upswell of support for primary challengers has delivered a resounding victory.

In the seven target races it looks like six of the weak Republican state senators have been defeated with one race too close to call.

INDIANA – Indiana Republican voters decisively sided with President Donald Trump’s call for political vengeance against state senators who defied him and voted down congressional redistricting.

Results from Tuesday’s primaries showed at least five Republican senators defeating challengers endorsed by Trump, with another Trump-backed candidate winning an open seat primary. Only one of the eight senators opposed by pro-redistricting groups — Greg Goode of Terre Haute — was a certain winner.

Those incumbent senators defeated were Travis Holdman of Markle, Jim Buck of Kokomo, Linda Rogers of Granger, Dan Dernulc of Highland and Greg Walker of Columbus. All their challengers received 60% of the vote or more, according to preliminary tallies compiled by The Associated Press.

Sen. Spencer Deery of West Lafayette was leading by just three votes at 11 p.m. Tuesday. And Sen. Rick Niemeyer of Lowell was down 1,300 votes with 87% reporting.

Gov. Mike Braun, who joined Trump in endorsing their challengers, cheered the results.

“Historic night for Indiana as Republicans stood with me and President Trump to nominate some great America First conservatives,” said a Braun social media post. “I look forward to winning big in November and serving Hoosiers with this team in the statehouse!”

In the Ohio Republican primary race for Governor, Vivek Ramaswamy has easily defeated Casey Putsch the anti-Trumper who burned his MAGA flag and took a position against the President.

Folks, as the data constantly confirms, social media is not real life.  The self-described MAGA republicans who now stand against President Trump are few in number.  In real life, the Make America Great Again movement is strong, smart and understands the motives of the Trojan Horse opposition.

OHIO – Vivek Ramaswamy coasted to the Republican nomination for Ohio governor on May 5, easily defeating primary rival Casey Putsch in a race that was called by NBC News and Decision Desk HQ not long after polls closed.

The 40-year-old biotech mogul, who ran for president in 2024, will face Democrat Amy Acton, a 60-year-old physician who ran unopposed, in November.

Ohio hasn’t elected a Democratic governor in roughly two decades, and Trump won it by 12 percentage points two years ago, but experts believe this could be a competitive contest given the current political environment. (read more)

My opinion on our current FBI Director is the same as it was the day his nomination was announced.  The best, the most competent, the smartest, the most insightful and stable thinking people do not originate on a track from inside government work.  The most effective way to get the best outcome is to approach and enlist the smart ones from outside government to come and assist.  Patel was always an insider.

The FBI is an institution built upon corruption and fraud.  Unfortunately, neither President Trump, nor the American people, will ever get the vindication and accountability he/we deserve until Kash Patel is no longer the one in charge of delivering it. It’s just that painfully simple.  Trying to reform a corrupt system while maintaining the structures that enabled the corruption leads to endless discussions and ‘trust me bro’ delays.

In this interview FBI Director Kash Patel sits down with Sean Hannity to discuss current and prior events within the FBI.  Patel’s primary objective is the performance; the presentation of what he thinks will endear him to President Trump the most. This is not effectiveness; the outcome is the illusion of leadership.  The video is prompted. WATCH:

Kash Patel is to the FBI as Pam Bondi was to the DOJ.

I find it hilarious that Club for Growth ‘CONservative’ voices who pontificated through their x-ray specs for decades about the U.S. consignment as a “service driven economy” now mount their high horse in discussion of the opposite; about which they have zero knowledge.

President Donald Trump has seemingly unending patience for these air breathing pontificators who attempt to retain their status, while no one of any intellectual honesty pays attention to the Salem Media economic gibberish. That said, on the issue of Iran, Salem (GOPe) wants more intervention, and on the issue of Ukraine Salem wants the U.S. to assist Zelenskyy more. WATCH:

Anyone who has ever dealt with a toxic narcissist understands the psychology behind their manipulative language, words and intents.  What Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing here is very dangerous, particularly for the Canadian people.

After a year of increased provocative language intended to confront President Trump for U.S. nationalist policy changes on economics, trade and security, Prime Minister Carney travelled to Europe where he again delivered strong remarks saying that Europe is now the center of the “rules based international order,” the western government control mechanisms that have maintained economic and security relationships for the past one-hundred years.

Essentially, Carney, after saying the USA was no longer a reliable or obedient partner, emphasized the opposition to state nationalism must come from a collective decision to retain the old geopolitical structures.  President Trump must be opposed, and Europe -according to Carney- represents the assembly that will not permit state government nationalism (sovereignty) to replace their long-constructed globalist systems.

Today, Prime Minister Carney faced questions about those remarks. I don’t want to influence the audience, but with the context in mind, watch and listen closely to his response. [Prompted]

[NOTE: The question comes from the Toronto Star, the only ‘conservative’ media outlet permitted under the rules of the Canadian regime to ask questions.  All other outlets who might challenge the government viewpoints are strictly controlled and not permitted audience.]

Notice how Carney divides the world of opposition to President Trump, indicating the 5-Eyes nations of Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand are in opposition to Trump and in alignment with the old control mechanisms.  Adding to this grouping, Carney pulls in the entire European continent and boldly proclaims his position as lead diplomat and representative for their effort against the USA.

This is a very dangerous game that Prime Minister Carney is choosing to play here.  This is the behavior of a person who is toxically narcissistic and prepared to claim victim status as soon as his target hits back.  Carney has carefully and purposefully deceived his domestic audience, and things are about to get very ugly.
