As Cypress Hill once warned: When the shizz goes down, you better get ready. According to current CIA director John Ratcliffe, the shizz may come down sooner than some authors of the Russia-collusion hoax think. Thanks to the precedent-breaking lawfare of the Joe Biden Regency, a few of them will have nowhere to hide when it does, too.
Donald Trump is visiting Europe. Upon arriving there, when asked about migration, he had a blunt response, which is that unlimited immigration is killing Europe. The elites were outraged, but I suspect that the common man in Europe had the same response that the dissidents did in 1983, when Ronald Reagan bucked the sophisticated elites and accurately called the Soviet Union an “evil empire.”
President Trump waited for the lights to dim to show a politically charged film to visiting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. He sat patiently until Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy exploded after being lectured by Vice President JD Vance. And on Thursday, Trump confronted Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with a piece of paper he pulled out of his pocket, alleging construction cost overruns.
In each instance, TV cameras were rolling, providing coverage of Trump’s target squirming or arguing with the president of the United States.
President Trump said immigration is “killing Europe” as he arrived in Scotland at the start of a four-day visit.
Speaking to reporters after landing at Prestwick airport on Friday evening, Trump said: “On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore. You got to get your act together.
“You know, last month, we had nobody entering our country. Nobody. Shut it down.”
“On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore…Last month we had nobody enter our country, we shut it down.”

His second administration is off to a very strong — and fast — start.
Over the course of four years’ banishment to America’s political wilderness while subjected to both a would-be assassin’s bullets and the humiliating and unprecedented spectacle of criminal prosecution by his political opponents, Donald Trump seems to have intuited a key life lesson: Time is of the essence. Carpe diem, seize the day. And so it has been. Like a thoroughbred bursting out of the Kentucky Derby starting gate, the second Trump administration has been racing full speed ahead ever since Trump was inaugurated once again as president of the United States. If the Derby is the “fastest two minutes in sports,” then this has surely been the fastest six months in modern presidential history.
Fake MAGA influencers advance agendas aligned with hostile foreign states.
Hostile foreign actors are increasingly using social media to drive a wedge into Donald Trump’s political coalition. Using open-source intelligence and analyses of online activity, we explore this phenomenon, which we call “fake MAGA,” in a recent report for the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI).
Our report defines fake MAGA influencers as those who use “Make America Great Again” or “America First” branding to target these audiences but are in fact linked to large-scale bot farms—as evidenced by the creation of massive numbers of such accounts at opportune moments on X. That is, our analysis reveals coordinated account-creation spikes (for instance, during Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition), followed by synchronized amplification of identical narratives by those same accounts during a crisis.
We aren’t even six months into President Donald Trump’s second term, and so much has changed. The president himself gave us a bracing reminded of that on Tuesday, when he upbraided the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the woke leftist Gen. Mark Milley, for leaving behind billions of dollars’ worth of military hardware as the U.S. ignominiously cut and run from Afghanistan in August 2021.
The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes.
Almost daily during the tariff hysterias of March, we were told by university economists and most of the PhDs employed in investment and finance that the U.S. was headed toward a downward, if not recessionary, spiral.
Most economists lectured that trade deficits did not really matter. Or they insisted that the cures to reduce them were worse than the $1.1 trillion deficit itself.
They reminded us that free, rather than fair, trade alone ensured prosperity.
Republicans on Thursday notched the first major legislative victory of President Donald Trump’s second term, a mammoth tax and immigration agenda the GOP hopes will reshape the U.S. economy and unwind many of the Biden administration’s accomplishments.
The House, in a 218 to 214 vote, passed Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a $3.4 trillion measure to extend tax cuts from Trump’s first term and implement new campaign promises — such as eliminating income taxes on tips and overtime wages — while spending hundreds of billions of dollars on immigration enforcement and defense. It raises the country’s borrowing cap by $5 trillion, staving off a debt default that the Treasury was weeks away from breaching.
President Trump teased plans to “have a lot of fun” with “nut job” socialist Zohran Mamdani if he becomes mayor of the Big Apple — and called New Yorkers “crazy” for voting for him.
“I think we’re gonna have a lot of fun with him,” Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn Tuesday, “because he has to go right through this building to get his money. Don’t worry, he’s not gonna run away with anything.”

We’ve had a big week. We’ve had a lot of victories this week,” Donald Trump boasted on Friday as he made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room after securing a win in the Supreme Court towards ending birthright citizenship. It capped off, a grinning president explained, a great week for his administration.
President Trump blasted Zohran Mamdani’s politics – and looks – Wednesday after the socialist’s stunning upset in New York’s Democratic mayoral primary.
“Democrats have crossed the line by elevating a 100% Communist Lunatic,” Trump railed in a Truth Social post.
“We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” he added.
President Trump says Demcorats have “crossed the line” following Muslim Communist Zohran Mamdani’s primary victory in New York.
“He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart.”

“Iran’s appetite for acquiring and developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them has only grown larger,” Bill Clinton claimed in 1995. “We have tried to stop its quest to acquire weapons of mass destruction, which would make it a threat not only to its neighbors but to the entire region and the world.”
“For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” George W. Bush declared.
President Macron has long sought to cultivate the image of a “Trump whisperer” who handles his unpredictable US counterpart better than any other western leader.
However, President Trump has now dealt a severe blow to Macron’s credibility by mocking him as an attention seeker who “always gets it wrong”.
Like the late David Horowitz, David Mamet, now 77, was a red-diaper baby who, after spending the first act of his career as a prominent member of the left, eventually had second thoughts. Horowitz announced his change of mind in a 1985 Washington Post article, co-authored with his writing partner Peter Collier, headlined “Lefties for Reagan”; Mamet went public with his own political metamorphosis in a 2008 Village Voice essay entitled “Why I Am No Longer a ‘Brain-Dead Liberal.’” In the years since, Mamet, whose oeuvre already included first-rate plays like Glengarry Glen Ross (1984) and top-notch screenplays like Wag the Dog (1997) and Hannibal (2001), has published a slew of wise – and wise-ass – books about politics, culture, and the arts, including Recessional (2022), which I summed up as follows: “What, you ask, does he write about? Answer: What doesn’t he write about?”
