Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs – Mysterious Camp David Cabinet Meeting Moved Back to White House

Earlier today the New York Post (Murdoch Inc.) was reporting a cabinet meeting was scheduled to take place tomorrow at Camp David, in Maryland.  The unusual location for this meeting stemmed from information the Post obtained via an anonymousWhite House official.

For some reason, every media report felt it was important to emphasize that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard would be in attendance at the cabinet meeting.  Gabbard’s departure is openly well known and not expected until June 30th, but for some reason the DC media stenographers were quite interested in whether DNI Gabbard would be in attendance.

After about 8 hours, President Trump announced the cabinet meeting was moved back to Washington DC, due to an inclement weather forecast.

[WEATHER]

Terrible weather. Horrible stuff. 40% chance of rain even.

Cloudy, with a chance of meatballs.

During the eight hours between the leaked location report and the sudden reversal in venue, something else happened.

Vice President JD Vance Holds State AG Roundtable on Federal Investigation into Fraud Cases

Andrew Ferguson is the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which actively investigates and warns against fraud and scam. Andrew Ferguson is also the Vice Chair of the Federal Anti-Fraud Task Force.

Vice President JD Vance was joined today by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Vice Chair Andrew Ferguson, as they held brief public remarks before a closed-door meeting with several state attorney’s general.

Both Miller and Ferguson emphasized that the benefits within our nation were constructed on the ‘honor system’ for people who need financial support. Unfortunately, this system collapses when tens-of-millions of illegal alien migrants are permitted to just cross the border and start applying for assistance. The results surface not only in billions of fraudulent payouts, but also in the smaller visible indicators of “deodorant being locked behind plexiglass shields to prevent theft.” WATCH:

John Solomon’s “Trust me Bro” Reporting is Dangerous

The alternative media and even President Trump himself are promoting a story from notoriously sketchy John Solomon again.  This time it is important to point out how dangerous he has become – perhaps President Trump (or someone close) will take note.

The core of this latest story centers around a reported email chain from a Biden-era DOJ/FBI official who had serious reservations about the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. [Story Here] However, in typical Solomon fashion there is no source citation for the email itself, nor any explanation of where it came from.  Instead, it’s another story written from a ‘trust me bro – because, reasons‘ interpretation of a claim that cannot be reviewed, because the actual email itself is not disclosed:

….”a newly-unearthed email obtained by Just the News shows.”

That’s it. ….”a newly-unearthed email obtained by Just the News shows“…

That’s the sum total of the citation for source, content and origination.  The reader doesn’t get to look at the email.  The reader doesn’t get any explanation of who, what, where, when or why it was given to Solomon.  Heck, “newly unearthed” could be a retread of an email that was likely discussed several years ago, perhaps part of a congressional review.

However, this specific email is sold as new information from inside the DOJ/FBI that is under review by South Florida USAO Jason Reding Quiñones.

♦ Why can’t Solomon share the email?

When mainstream media report on media reports that come from media reports, we call this circular nonsense garbage. It’s no different when alternative media do the same without specific citation or source information that can be reviewed.   No doubt, dozens of alternative media have already started running with this story without pause.

The danger is not just about hopium promotion. In this example, it’s worse.  Let’s take this claim at face value, assume Solomon isn’t lying, and consider that he cannot provide a direct link to the email(s) because the physical documents represent a risk.  Under these assumptions, the email is evidence from the DOJ/FBI provided to the USAO in Florida for grand jury review.  Solomon has received leaked grand jury material.

President Trump Updates on Current Status of Negotiations With Iran and Desire to Bring all Nations into the Abraham Accords

Both President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have provided updates on the current status of negotiations with the Iranian regime.

President Trump delivered an update from his Truth Social Account:

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!

During my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, I stated that, after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.

Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!). It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be.

The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the Countries involved (The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), a Financial, Economic, and Social BOOM, even during this time of Conflict and War, with the current Members never even suggesting leaving, or taking so much as even a pause.

The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have been great for them, and will be even better for everybody, and bring true Power, Strength, and Peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years. It will be a Document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled! It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and everybody else should follow suit. If they don’t, they should not be part of this Deal in that it shows bad intention.”

President Trump Reminds Texas to Vote for Ken Paxton in Tomorrow Senate Republican Primary

Delivering a reminder from his Truth Social Account, President Trump reminds Texas voters of the disappointment that John Cornyn represents and the endorsement for Ken Paxton to replace him tomorrow.

[Truth Social] – “TEXAS, REMEMBER! Ken Paxton was a GREAT Attorney General, probably the best in the Country. He was also very loyal to your favorite President, ME, as the Dumocrats played their ultimate game of Weaponization, and failed, BADLY! I LOVE Texas, and WON it all three times, getting, by far, the highest (A Record!) Vote in the History of that Great & Beautiful State. Ken’s opponent was VERY disloyal to me, as President, and didn’t fight hard enough for the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT – VOTER I.D., PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (with exceptions for Military, Illness, Disability, or Travel!). What more needs to be said??? Vote for Ken Paxton on Tuesday, HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!! ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Intelligence System and Why Tulsi Gabbard Was Essentially the First DNI

Against the backdrop of Tulsi Gabbard resigning her position as Director of National Intelligence, there is an opportunity to explain how the Washington DC Intelligence Community functions in real life.

ODNI Tulsi Gabbard has rightly been receiving a lot of praise for her efforts at removing the shroud of secrecy that is often used by an intensely territorial IC network.  Simultaneously, she has received criticism or what Machiavelli called, “the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution”; because, in reality Tulsi Gabbard might be considered the first functional DNI.

One of the reasons Tulsi Gabbard was effective was her willingness to answer this question:

It was DNI Tulsi Gabbard who released the receipts showing how the CIA and IC ran an impeachment operation against President Trump.  CIA operative Eric Ciarmella, ICIG Michael Atkinson and HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff all collaboratively involved.

Here it becomes more important for the next sequence of events to fully understand what it was about Tulsi Gabbard in the position of DNI that made such a big difference.  What was it about her approach to the office of the DNI that made Gabbard stand out?  This is a discussion worth having.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar Hold a Press Conference

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar hold a press conference in New Delhi during Rubio’s first official trip to India.

In continuation of President Trump’s Indo-Pacific strategy, Secretary Rubio notes that India has become one of America’s most strategic partnerships in the world.  Both nations represent the world’s largest democracies, and both nations face internal scrutiny as an outcome of their need to be open and accountable to the people they represent.  Additionally, the trade and economic partnership between the USA and India is critical to hedge against the influence by Chinese expansion.

The question and media answers begin at 16:10, with the first question asking about U.S. policy that no longer supports mass visa opportunities for Indian residents.  Rubio notes the same visa restrictions that are in place now against India are the same visa limits now in place against the entire globe.  The process to reform and/or change how immigration takes place always creates some friction points.  WATCH:

President Trump Notes the Outlines of a Negotiated Deal with Iran – Some Details Emerge

Delivering two messages today from his Truth Social account, President Trump notes the Pakistani and Arab negotiating teams are close to terms of an agreement. However, President Trump emphasizes that any negotiated end to the conflict must include the complete elimination of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet. So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don’t make bad deals!” ~ President DJT

EARLIER – “One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration – THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact! The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes! Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. I would like to thank, thus far, all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well! Thank you for your attention to this matter. ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

It is doubtful the finalized terms will be released today.  However, Scott Jennings is reporting on some of the outlines of the agreement after he had discussions with a “senior Trump official” directly involved in the negotiations.

Following Phone Call with Arab Allies, Turkey and Pakistan, President Trump Notes Memorandum of Understanding with Iran to Be Announced Shortly

The Gulf Arab allies had been negotiating through Pakistan with Iran.

Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are now joined by Turkey in the construction of the agreement, which is important because Turkey now represents the figurative center of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The GCC and President Trump are not going to end Iranian Islamic extremism without the umbrella political organization of the Brotherhood accepting terms.

[VIA TRUTH SOCIAL] – “I am in the Oval Office at the White House where we just had a very good call with President Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, of The United Arab Emirates, Emir Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, and Minister Ali al-Thawadi, of Qatar, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, of Pakistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Türkiye, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, of Egypt, King Abdullah II, of Jordan, and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran, and all things related to a Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE. An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed. Separately, I had a call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, which, likewise, went very well. Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly. In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

~ President DONALD J. TRUMP
