Trump Shocks the World — Again

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/14/2025 1:45:12 PM

Trump has done it again. That much is clear. He has outmaneuvered and out-thought everyone else, and did what many others assumed to be impossible. But what exactly has he done? On Wednesday morning, during his trip to Saudi Arabia, Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who from 2017 until January of this year, was known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Al-Sharaa was the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the “Syrian Liberation Group,” a Sunni jihad group that had been linked to al-Qaeda and was working to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In January 2025, HTS finally attained its goal. Assad fled to Russia. Al-Julani took control in Damascus

How long before John Kerry and Susan Rice go on CNN or MS-13NBC to call President Trump a dreamer and a fool??

I wish President Trump the best in his efforts. #1, I have to respectfully disagree. The 'Rats are no longer capable of playing checkers. These New 'Rats... AOC, the Squat, Camera-Hogg, Jasmine Crockett, etc., cannot play anything more complex than Tiddlywinks.

FTA: "In many ways, Trump’s meeting with al-Sharaa is as momentous, and could be more momentous, than his first-term overtures to Kim Jong Un. The two meetings come from the same wellsprings: Trump is attempting to break longstanding logjams and end the status quo that the foreign policy establishment, both inside the U.S. and elsewhere, had come to take for granted." The international swamp has made big bucks with their forever wars. President Trump is a game changer because he is our first modern president not beholden to the military-industrial complex. He is a Godly man of peace. The man who gave us the "Art of the Deal" is now taking his prowess onto the world stage. Instead of billions of dollars at stake, there are millions of lives on the knife's edge. He's offering new ways of thinking and incentives to think that way. "May you live in interesting times" has taken on a new meaning. Instead of being a back-handed curse, today it is the promise of hope and a brighter future for a beleaguered world. I'm proud to be an American again. MAGA!

New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen, who campaigned for Kamala Harris in 2024 and for every Democrat presidential nominee since John Kerry, had an epic show-long meltdown at the opening concert for his European tour in Manchester, England, Wednesday night over President Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the presidency. Springsteen called Trump and his administration, “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,” and an “unfit president and a rogue government,” among many criticisms. Not a word by Springsteen about Trump working to bring good paying blue collar jobs back to America for the people whom Springsteen has made a career out of channeling their economic woes,

Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump? James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47” “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption. [Instagram] Some interpreted Comey’s cryptic message as a serious threat. [Tweets] It is no secret that James Comey despises President Trump. Comey was fired as FBI Director by Trump in 2017 while he was leading an investigation into the president during his first term. Shortly after the firing, it was revealed that James Comey penned several memos stemming from nine confidential conversations he had with President Trump.

During Supreme Court oral arguments in the Trump v. CASA, Washington, and New Jersey cases, Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a surgical takedown of the legal rationale for nationwide injunctions, using just one line. The case centers around whether lower courts can issue sweeping injunctions that block federal policies nationwide, even when only a handful of plaintiffs are before the court. Representing the United States, Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that such broad orders violate established legal norms and Supreme Court precedent. “We believe that the best reading of that is what you said in Trump against Hawaii,

Ed Martin, the new DOJ pardon attorney and head of the Weaponization Working Group, isn’t wasting time. This week, he announced a review of the shady “autopen” pardons Joe Biden’s team rushed through in its final days. “These deserve some scrutiny,” he said. That’s an understatement. As PJ Media has previously reported, Biden’s White House frequently used an autopen to sign executive orders and pardons, which raised serious doubts as to whether Biden was even involved in the process. In March, the Oversight Project dropped a bombshell memo detailing 32 instances where the Biden White House used an autopen to sign off on clemency warrants —

What happened in Congress this week wasn’t oversight—it was an embarrassment. It was a living, breathing, live-streamed example of why Americans are fed up with the political class, and why the people are rallying around leaders who actually fight for them. You’d think when a sitting Cabinet Secretary shows up to testify before Congress—especially one fighting for better healthcare access—you might get a serious, substantive conversation. But you’d be wrong. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. showed up prepared to discuss budgets, programs, and patient care. Instead, he was met with a political drive-by by Sen. Patty Murray,

Do you think it raises ethics concerns or national security concerns?” “If you’ve ever been to New York and saw the Statue of Liberty, that was a gift too,” he responded.

After the tragic mid-air military helicopter/commercial plane collision that took place near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in late January, the mainstream media and Democrats immediately jumped to blame President Donald Trump for the crash and the 67 people who perished, though he had barely been in office for a week. Every airliner incident since then, they've continued to bang the "blame Trump" drum, with Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), for instance, pointing to Trump after the terrifying crash of the Delta jet that happened in mid-February at Toronto's Pearson Airport. Schumer blamed the Trump administration's "layoffs" of what he described as "FAA safety specialists."

Murray specifically used the story of one of her constituents who is battling stage-four cancer. But when Kennedy offered a direct path to help the woman, Murray seemed more interested in scoring political points than actually solving the problem — if the problem is even real. Murray opened with an emotional anecdote:

The Episcopal Church’s migration service said it will refuse the Trump administration's request to help resettle dozens of White South Africans granted refugee status by the federal government. In a statement, Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe said the Episcopal Migration Ministries will instead terminate its partnership with the government. The announcement came shortly before 59 South Africans arrived in the United States. "In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step," Rowe said of the government's request that the church help resettle the South African citizens.

Democrat Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) is slated to introduce a reparations resolution this week, as she believes it is a “moral and legal obligation” for Americans. The resolution itself involves the U.S. spending “trillions” on reparations for black Americans. The resolution points to Jim Crow laws as part of the justification for the use of U.S. tax dollars going toward this effort. “This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it,” Lee said, enraged that President Donald Trump ended many diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures with the “stroke of a pen.”

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin hinted Monday that he’s preparing to roll back one car feature that every driver “hates.” “Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy,” Zeldin tweeted Monday in a post that has since racked up more than 8 million views. “EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.” The feature kills internal combustion engines at red lights and has been touted by proponents for being able to conserve fuel and cut down on pollution. Critics have questioned whether the feature can wear down the car’s battery or engine more quickly.

Nearly two dozen Tren de Aragua gangbangers in an ICE detention center in Texas have barricaded themselves and threatened to take hostages in a major uprising — days after migrants spelled out “SOS” in the prison yard. Members of the Venezuelan gang threatened to hold ICE officers captive and injure them on April 26 as they barricaded the doors of their unit with their cots, covered surveillance cameras, blocked windows, and flooded the unit by clogging the toilets, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The takeover attempt lasted “several hours,” with the detainees ignoring the orders of ICE agents.

Walmart said Thursday it plans to raise prices on some goods beginning later this month, in response to President Trump’s tariffs. “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon is expected to say during a Thursday earnings call, according to prepared remarks obtained by several media outlets. The U.S. and China agreed earlier this week to lower their respective reciprocal tariffs for 90 days as they look to end a bruising trade war

California Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he wants the state to stop enrolling more low-income illegal immigrants in a state-funded health care program, beginning next year. Under Newsom’s plan, the state would not end coverage for illegal immigrants who are already enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. However, the state would begin charging adults with “unsatisfactory immigrant status” a monthly premium of $100 beginning in 2027. Newsom’s announcement comes after the governor previously said in March he was not considering rolling back health benefits for low-income illegal immigrants, even as the state contended with a $6.2 billion Medicaid shortfall.

The case of around 50 white Afrikaner refugees from South Africa has turned the political discourse upside down. After years of never finding a migrant they didn't approve of, Democrats and their press allies are suddenly greatly offended that President Donald Trump would dare grant asylum to a statistically insignificant number of people.

Notably, Afrikaners, who migrated to South Africa some 400 years ago, aren't from Germany,
