President Donald Trump sits down for an extensive interview with Miranda Devine and explains [at 13:22] why the frustration with Israel ended up with some salty words exchanged between himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I did. I always get angry. I was a little bit perturbed at him, constantly fighting with Lebanon. I said, ‘at some point we’ve going to stop this’.”

President Trump is also asked about the perception of President Trump’s policy directive toward Iran being controlled by Israeli interests.  President Trump rejects that perception.  Additionally, Mrs Devine also asks President Trump about the continued efforts of the former CIA to target his administration (impeachment, Hunter Biden laptop, etc.)  WATCH:

Oh, this is just awesome news.  Republicans are going bananas. Democrats, led by senate intel vice-chairman Mark Warner are having fits and meltdowns.  All of it because President Trump announced the appointment of Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard at the end of the month as Acting DNI.

To make the issues even better, Democrats are now threatening to block FISA-702 reauthorization and stop the warrantless surveillance of American citizens unless Pulte’s appointment is withdrawn.  Yes, read that again slowly if needed – it’s perfect. 🤣😂🤣

WASHINGTON DC – […] Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Tuesday to use his influence with the White House to reverse Trump’s move to install Pulte as overseer of the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Warner, who’s been critical in building Democratic support for a bipartisan deal to extend FISA Section 702, made clear to Thune that all options are on the table to reverse what Democrats see as a dangerous Trump pick to lead ODNI. Pulte, who currently leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no national security experience and has used his existing role to exact revenge on Trump’s political foes.

From Warner’s perspective, it’s impossible to convince enough Democrats to support a reauthorization of Section 702 when Pulte would be the one overseeing the program. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has also privately told senators that the Pulte appointment makes passing a FISA deal much more difficult.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.  The U.S. Senate as a whole and members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee specifically, have lost millions of dollars wealth for themselves and their families as a result of Rubio eliminating USAID. As a consequence, while they cannot publicly showcase that specific motive for opposition, the committee as a whole is not happy about losing a substantial portion of their stakeholder interests.

The families of all the senate committee members exist inside the think tanks, NGOs, political orgs, PACs and lobbyist companies for various foreign governments.  Just like Q-Anon advocate ¹Mike Flynn recently taking a job that pays him $100,000/month to lobby for the Republic of Srpska (aka ‘Serb Republic’, for advice, counsel and introductions), so too all the family members of the senate leverage their DC connections to foreign governments for personal gain.

Thus, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now being questioned by the very Senators he has defunded.  WATCH (prompted):

¹Yes, Michael Flynn signed an agreement within the Trump administration not to lobby for foreign governments; but that was only a paper promise. That’s one of the reasons why it is more than a little silly for people to mention Flynn’s name as a potential DNI nomination.

There are a blue-zillion important events and storylines happening today; however, John 15:17: “This is my command: Love each other.” A prioritization is needed.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard shares a moment of pause and thankfulness, as together with her husband Abraham Williams she arrives at the hospital to begin surgical treatment for his bone cancer.

“We are getting ready to head to the hospital for my husband’s surgery and just wanted to say thank you so much to all of who have shared messages, prayers and well wishes for Abraham. We are humbled and so grateful to be surrounded by aloha during this really tough time.” (source)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu representing Israel, and President Donald Trump representing the United States, apparently had a testy telephone call about ongoing Israeli strikes against Hezbollah attacks from Lebanon.

Iran, essentially IRGC control officers who now control the government, had previously said their terms for negotiation required Israel to stop strikes into Lebanon against their allies in Hezbollah.  However, under the cover of that term, Hezbollah restarted rocket attacks from Lebanon against Israel.  Yesterday, Israel began counter-attack operations against Hezbollah, which led to Iran saying the terms of the negotiation were now violated, and they would stop discussions with the USA.

[NOTE – This overall dynamic is very similar to Saudi Arabia coming under fire about a month ago, and their anger toward the USA for essentially saying Saudi had to accept the attacks so that diplomatic talks could continue.   Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon rejected the expectation and challenged President Trump with Saudi allied base cooperation.]

Apparently, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu had a strong discussion, some have leaked a very angered and open exchange, about Netanyahu launching strikes into Lebanon again.

On social media, it looks like this. Netanyahu put’s the Israel position via X:

President Trump responds to Netanyahu’s intentions with a phone call and then a follow-up on his Truth Social Account:

The case of murdered victim Henry Nowak is horrific, and representative of just how far the United Kingdom has fallen.

18-year-old Henry Nowak was violently attacked and brutally stabbed by an Indian man named Vickrum Digwa. When police arrived the attacker claimed the victim called him racist names.  The police then handcuffed the bleeding victim and told him he was under arrest.

Henry Nowak continually told police he had been stabbed by Digwa and could not breathe.  The police didn’t believe him, and fraught with political correctness that demands they protect the minority rights of the Indian attacker, the U.K. police read the victim his rights and dragged him over the ground. Henry Nowak bleed to death and died as a result of his stab wounds.

The police laughed at the white male victim and mocked Henry Nowak while he died.

Eventually, the police realized the Indian man Vickrum Digwa was -indeed- the attacker and video evidence showed young Nowak was attacked and stabbed at random.  Digwa was arrested and forced to stand trial.  With overwhelming evidence against him, he was convicted of murder.  Following the conviction Henry Nowak’s father gave a press statement.  WATCH:

When the public found out during trial that police had actually handcuffed the victim and ignored his pleas for help, outrage grew.

The entire case is stunning in just how messed up Great Britain really is.  The police never even handcuffed the attacker, even after they found out he was guilty of murder. Then, adding salt to the wound of the entire matter, Digwa’s defense team sought to shift blame for the murder from their violent client to the politically correct police.

The Nowak family was barred from speaking about the murder and the police conduct during the trial.  However, as evidence in the trial was shown, the public found out about it.  Demands for release of the officer’s body camera footage were made. No one could believe what they were hearing.  The police and courts refused to release the footage until public and political pressure became just too much.

The body-cam footage is below.
