Trump tells France ‘you would be speaking German right now’ if not for America as he touts Army parade

President Donald Trump needled France Tuesday saying ‘you would be speaking German right now’ had it not been for the U.S.’s involvement in World War II, as he again touted Saturday’s Army parade.

‘We’re going to celebrate our country for a change,’ Trump said, expressing frustration that the U.S. hasn’t held military-centric celebrations to mark significant milestones.

Trump then told reporters how he had recently called up France as they were celebrating the World War II victory.

BBC accused of downplaying white farmer killings in South Africa

The BBC has been accused of downplaying the killings of white farmers in South Africa in its reporting.

Robert Hersov, an influential South African businessman, criticised the broadcaster as “Leftist” and “woke” in its coverage of the issue, which rejected Donald Trump’s claims of a genocide.

Mr Hersov said the broadcaster “should be disbanded”, adding: “There is no nuance in their coverage – they are just Leftist.”

Trump Refuses To Live By South Africa Lies

President Donald Trump is a world-historical bad ass. What else can one say after his stunning performance in the White House yesterday, in defense of the persecuted white farmers of South Africa? I’ve cued this long clip of the entire meeting between Trump and South Africa president Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday to the point where they began talking about the attacks in South Africa on white farmers. Note that it all started when a reporter asked Trump what it will take for him to be convinced that there is no such thing as “white genocide” in South Africa. Ramaphosa jumped in and said, “I will answer for President Trump.” Bad mistake:

Bruce Springsteen’s feud with Trump takes a new twist as President’s shocking fake video goes viral

Bruce Springsteen and President Donald Trump’s feud hit a new high on Wednesday after the commander-in-chief clapped back with a fake video targeting the rock icon — following Springsteen’s stinging insult on stage.

The clash reignited last week when Springsteen, 75, slammed Trump during his concert in Manchester, England, calling him an ‘unfit president’ and slamming his administration as ‘corrupt, incompetent and treasonous.’

Trump, 78, fired back with a scorched-earth Truth Social post, calling the musician ‘a dried out prune of a rocker’ and ‘a pushy, obnoxious JERK.’

The gold-plated peacenik in the White House

(JNS) When Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election last year, many in Israel thought they’d dodged a bullet. The Democratic Party was viscerally hostile to Israel, while Trump was considered the greatest friend the Jewish state had ever had in the White House.

Now the Israelis are wondering whether they have escaped one nightmare to find themselves in another.

They were blindsided by the Trump administration’s decision to stop attacking the Houthis after the Islamist group promised to end its attacks on shipping in the Red Sea while continuing to fire missiles at Israel.

Another view point …

Donald Trump has scrambled the old class allegiances

US president Donald Trump has disrupted the nature of class politics. In a reversal of long-standing allegiances, working-class Americans – including many minorities – have shifted towards the MAGA right. Meanwhile, the well-educated, the corporate elites and the government-dependent have generally veered leftwards.

Rather than the relatively simple Marxist notion of a proletarian conflict with the bourgeoisie, we are seeing a more splintered and nuanced class politics across the West. These divisions are not simply driven by income, race or education, but increasingly also by how people earn their living, and how tariffs, policies and regulations impact their daily lives. These new class tensions threaten to push politics towards the fringes, both left and right. As society frays, the era of consensus politics is firmly at an end.

Meet the Maga moms inspired to have children for Trump

Los Angeles-born and Ivy League-educated, Peachy Keenan isn’t the typical picture of a pro-natalist.

Yet the married, mother of five is part of a growing movement of mostly Catholic, well-educated women in deep blue California inspired by Donald Trump’s calls to have more children.

“To save the country, we need to get out and push the babies out, and to do it in mass scale,” she said.

Trump to build national center for homeless veterans with funds previously spent on housing for illegal aliens

President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order to establish a national center for homeless veterans with redirected funds previously spent on services for illegal aliens, Fox News Digital has learned.

The president’s order directs the secretary of veterans affairs to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence on the Veterans Affairs campus in West Los Angeles.

Trump makes a simple act of decency seem out of the ordinary so used are we to a political class of self serving incompetents.

Trump grants ‘persecuted’ white South Africans refugee status

The first white South Africans to be granted refugee status by President Trump are set to arrive in the US next week.

More than 50 Afrikaners, descendants of mainly Dutch colonisers, are expected to arrive at Washington’s Dulles airport as early as Monday. The group have been granted P1 refugee status, which, according to the US State Department, is given to individual cases “by virtue of their circumstances and apparent need for resettlement”, sources said.

Why Trump?

The question comes to me from more and more Europeans these days: “Do you still support Donald Trump after all of this?”

By “all of this,” they usually mean the bizarre and destructive tariffs regime the White House rolled out in April, on what Trump called “Liberation Day.” But there is more, of course: Trump’s harsh deportation regime against illegal migrants, his substantive assault on universities, his wrecking of the NATO alliance, his weird trolling of Canada (“America’s 51st State”) and Denmark, over Greenland, et cetera.

From One Fake Left-wing Hysteria to the Next

The decade-old age of fables like Russian collusion, laptop disinformation, or the pangolin/bat cause of COVID is not over; it is just hitting midstream.

For much of April, amid stock downturns, in the classical paranoid style, we were assured by the Wall Street Journal news reporters and the liberal press that Trump had either a) guaranteed an inevitable recession, b) engineered a losing trade war he likely regretted, c) crashed the stock market, d) lost his once majority favorability ratings, e) mostly had a failed first 100 days, or f) all of the above.

Some of us thought these diagnoses and prognoses were absurd. How in mediis rebus, during a radical counterrevolution never quite seen before, could anyone issue such bleak predictions? Would these same observers have said the U.S. was doomed to lose World War II after the bleak first five months of mostly failure in the Pacific, or North Africa, after the utter U.S. army disaster at the Kasserine Pass?

The California ‘surfers for Trump’ revolting against Gavin Newsom

Along an idyllic stretch of the California coastline, a gaggle of bronzed surfers tackle magnificent waves whipped up in the Pacific Ocean by gale-force winds.

Most of the time, Huntington Beach is a surfing haven – but even when it isn’t, nothing stops the long-haired, wetsuit-clad crowd who turn up with their boards in all weathers.

This is America’s “surf city”, a title it fought a 15-month court battle to keep.
