ABU DHABI — President Trump’s show-stopping trip to the Middle East — complete with lavish welcomes, diplomatic breakthroughs and business deals worth an estimated $2 trillion — have left even Democrats favorably comparing him to former President Joe Biden, whose fading cognitive abilities and lack of “stamina” are being blamed for preventing similar accomplishments.
“It’s amazing what can be accomplished when the president isn’t f–king brain dead,” a senior congressional Democratic aide told The Post Thursday.
“This whole Middle East trip shows [that] for a lot of these negotiations, you do really need somebody who has that energy and level-headedness,” one high-ranking Biden White House aide confided.

The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president.
Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year.
The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells.

A 19-year-old former Michigan Army National Guardsman was arrested on May 13 after he attempted to carry out a plan for a mass shooting at a U.S. military base in Warren, Michigan, on behalf of ISIS, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ announced in a statement that Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, of Melvindale, a community near Dearborn, has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device.
“The arrest of this former soldier is a sobering reminder of the importance of our counterintelligence efforts to identify and disrupt those who would seek to harm our nation,”

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.

President Trump previously stated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and U.S. emissaries Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg would be traveling to Turkey as part of the U.S. support group to assist in negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. However, the Kremlin has announced the delegation that will represent Russia’s interests and President Vladimir Putin is not attending.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously said he would be attending the negotiations, yet doubted Russian President Putin would be present. It appears that prediction by Zelenskyy is accurate. The Kremlin announcement IS HERE.

f you want peace, prepare for war.
For centuries, those six words kept empires intact. They built walls in Rome, silenced tyrants in Berlin, and kept the peace during America’s rise as a superpower. Today, they’re more than just an ancient motto; they are policy, and President Donald J. Trump knows it.
As Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) put it, that's the difference between the “America First” worldview and the “Blame America First” mindset that preceded it and nearly wrecked us.
Barack Obama’s deal with Iran let the mullahs keep their centrifuges spinning. The regime’s uranium program remained intact, their terror networks well-fed, and their confidence unshaken.

It’s something out of the movie Airplane, but that’s the Biden administration—an epic display of either government incompetence or indifference. This crew didn’t care that Kabul was going to fall to the Taliban, leading to the shambolic exit from the country and, finally, the detached and gross reaction to the 13 American soldiers who were killed during the Abbey Gate terror attack. To this day, I don’t think a senior member of the Biden administration has called the families of these victims. Biden's reputation as Mr. Empathy took an irreparable blow.

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.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar dropped his ill-fated effort to force the House to vote on his impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump following widespread pressure from Democrats to stand down. Thanedar, an embattled two-term lawmaker facing a primary challenge from the left, filed a privileged resolution Tuesday that would have forced House Democrats to vote on seven articles of impeachment brought against the president. Thanedar’s decision to cave to House Democratic leadership and not trigger a vote Wednesday, comes as Democrats viewed his impeachment effort as a distraction from the conference’s united opposition against the president’s “one big, beautiful bill.”

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,

House Bill (HB) 262 would designate “Natural Family Month,” for the period of time from Mother’s Day, which is the second Sunday in May, to Father’s Day, the third Sunday in June.
Though the bill designates but does not define “Natural Family Month,” an explanation for the month can be found on the website of the Natural Family Foundation (NFF), a Westerville, Ohio-based group.

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."

It’s been exactly one year since Joe Biden threw down the gauntlet and challenged Donald Trump to a debate. What a difference a year makes.
At the time, the Biden campaign tried to spin it as a bold, calculated move: sidestepping the traditional Presidential Debates Commission, offering instead two debates on the candidates' own terms. They wanted one in June and another in September. The left-wing media acted like this was a genius play. In reality, was the beginning of the end.
Back then, Biden’s handlers insisted their candidate was sharp and ready to go. It was, to be honest, bizarre. Biden’s public appearances were dumpster fires.

The proposal, billed by labor leaders as the highest minimum wage in the country, would require hotels with more than 60 rooms, as well as companies doing business at Los Angeles International Airport, to pay their workers $30 per hour by 2028. That translates to a 48% hike in the minimum wage for hotel employees over three years. Airport workers

If you listened to Ed Martin naming the people within the lawfare community of DC operatives who are actively working to weaponize the legal system to block and attack reform efforts within the DOJ, then you likely understand the origin of these latest maneuvers. Outgoing USAO Ed Martin, and current head of the DOJ ‘weaponization working group’ has revealed that Lawfare operators have filed ethics complaints in an effort to challenge his legal license. This is what happens when the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, doesn’t face down the internal lawfare operation within Main Justice severely enough.

In 1988, Donald Trump appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and warned that unfair and unfree trade was damaging the domestic economy and particularly decimating the working class. Back then, Trump’s main concern was Japan, which was experiencing an “economic miracle” based on a huge increase in imports of cars, electronics, and other goods to the United States. Today, the United States faces an economic foe that makes the threat posed by 1980s Japan look miniscule. The sudden and spectacular rise of China, especially since it was allowed to join the World Trade Organization in 2001,

Another Tennessee television network publishes a story about how recent ICE arrests will impact the state’s economy without discussing who has been arrested.
On Wednesday, WSMV4 published a story talking about how the construction industry is being impacted by the federal government’s arrest of illegal immigrants.
The Department of Homeland Security announced this week that almost 200 criminal illegal aliens were arrested. Ninety-five of these individuals had prior criminal convictions and pending criminal charges. Another 31 people had entered America illegally after being deported, which is a felony.
The outlet talked to an owner of a construction business,

It’s always amusing when someone who has not been an active conservative and free marketer for over 40 years and did not run his own small business for nearly 30 years, as I have, gets accused of being a socialist because he refuses to pretend that the world is not as it is. I like free enterprise. It’s in my blood – everyone in my nuclear family had his/her own business. And while I am not sure that Donald Trump‘s latest heresies to the Cult of Milton Friedman (and I’m definitely a Friedman believer) will ultimately prove efficacious, I know the current system certainly isn’t doing the job for us.

As the Washington DC U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin was in position to address the known and documented activity of a variety of former DOJ officials. There’s a strong argument to be made that’s the reason why the DOJ’s corrupt allies in congress moved to eliminate the threat Martin represented. However, their collective result didn’t remove him, nor did it change the objective, it just changed Mr Martin’s title.
Washington DC USAO Ed Martin carried the authority of the Attorney General, in the changed dynamic special appointee ADAG Ed Martin now carries the authority of the President of the United States to investigate a weaponized DOJ/FBI apparatus. It became a serendipitous outcome.

President Trump meets with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, Qatar.
For many deep weed researchers and geopolitical followers, Qatar remains an ¹enigma. However, notice the linguistics, the English-speaking pattern of Emir al Thani. This is a man who speaks fluent ‘American’, spends a great deal of time around Americans and is completely comfortable expressing the speech patterns of his familiarity. Qatar is the bank for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Qatar funds Al Jazeera.
The leaders of Hamas all lived in Qatar
When the five Islamic leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were exiled from Egypt, they fled to Qatar for safe haven.

Since President Trump returned to the White House, activist judges — mostly from deep-blue strongholds like California, D.C., and Massachusetts — have lined up to sabotage his agenda.
These judges have thrown out wave after wave of temporary restraining orders and nationwide injunctions to block his key initiatives: shutting down toxic DEI programs, deporting dangerous criminal illegal aliens, and slashing wasteful foreign aid.

These are the rules.
Calling for the destruction of Israel is free speech. Rioting and vandalizing campuses is free speech. Assaulting Jewish students on campus and community members outside synagogues is free speech. Any effort to stop them is an assault on “free speech” and “democratic norms”.
Florida Panthers minority owner Doug Cifu tweeting “Israel now and forever. Until ever last Hamas rat is eliminated” at a troll resulted in him being suspended by the NHL and forced to apologize for “unacceptable and inappropriate” posts.
