“In my judgement, Tulsi has been one of the most effective members of @realDonaldTrump ‘s cabinet all while dealing with obvious internal disagreements and tensions.”
Verdict: true.
Every day Michael shows what an OG Statesman looks like.
General Mike Flynn@GenFlynn
Breaking @DNIGabbard Departure; Might it signal other issues? One thing for sure is that Tulsi’s departure signals personal sacrifice amid extraordinarily difficult duties and circumstances. However, the optics during wartime (yes, our nation is at war) will be amplified by many with conspiracies, perceptions of conspiracies, and many credible and incredible social media observations of instability inside the administration, transition friction, or unresolved internal debates over the war’s direction, purpose and/or justification. History will be the best judge of those decisions that caused the U.S. to enter this war in the first place, but for now, we’re in it and it has to be resolved in our favor. In my judgement, Tulsi has been one of the most effective members of @realDonaldTrump ‘s cabinet all while dealing with obvious internal disagreements and tensions. The “Acting” leadership might fill the immediate gaps, but sustained effectiveness depends on how quickly a permanent replacement is confirmed and whether the IC maintains coherence during this transition. While everyone is replaceable, Tulsi brought a unique no nonsense approach to her job as the DNI. That will be a huge void to fill. The bureaucracy will move quickly to fill in holes but instead of maintaining her level of transparency, the holes will be filled with concrete and fences will be erected around them. Wars test institutions. Our President understands there is already a serious deficit of trust between the Intelligence Community and the people it is suppose to serve. Tulsi was well on her way to closing that deficit. The President also has a big task on hand to quickly fill the gap or risk serious concerns about trust as the nation rolls into another challenging political season, one this President and our nation can ill afford to be on the losing side of. Leadership changes is a stress point in the mildest of situations. However, in this era of uncertainty where great challenges and threats face our nation, this change is one that must be handled with great skill. Lastly, this leadership change is not necessarily fatal, but the transition of another cabinet member, one of such prominence as the Director of the United States intelligence system, rates more than a footnote in the Trump presidency. This loss may require a chapter all by itself.

@RickJacksonGA @burtjonesforga Trump supports jones, you should too.

Cat got your tongue, @burtjonesforga? Still no comment from you on selling Chinese vapes that President Trump has banned, or on using your vote to expand gambling in Georgia so you could profit.
Rick Jackson@RickJacksonGA
No, you're lying. I did more to defeat Stacey Abrams than almost any other Georgian. Maxed out to Gov. Kemp and spent another $100k to bury her. Meanwhile, all you do is sell Georgians out to the highest bidder no matter who they are. You protect the Chinese vape industry President Trump is cracking down on because you need their dirty money for your campaign and pocket their money at your family gas stations. You worked a bill so your gas stations would profit from gambling. THIS is the cartel. And I'm running to break it up.

If vodka-infused watermelon is the next-level inspiration for a casual Texas cookout on a random Saturday afternoon, friends… it’s time to visit the Lonestar State. 🌵🥃🍉
This pit sits right on the water, slow-smoking brisket while fresh watermelon gets blended into epic cocktails—sweet, icy, with that perfect vodka kick. The whole gang’s here: boots in the grass, laughter rolling louder than the waves, cold beers sweating in the sun. You can smell that mesquite smoke and sizzling meat from a mile away. Pure Texas vibes—good food, better company, zero plans except soaking it all in.
Who’s driving? See y’all by the pit. 🔥🤠

I strongly disagree with the push for a constitutional amendment to bar foreign-born legislators. foxnews.com/politics/mace-… While I have suggested the possible tinyurl.com/f86u4tce, I cannot think of anything more antithetical to our founding than barring foreign-born citizens from Congress. As a nation of immigrants, it is a reaffirmation of our heritage to have these citizens serve in government...

@madison982599 An idea for a higher trust society than currently exists.

Breaking (the internet):
CCP President Xi’s use of the term, “Thucydides Trap” during his opening comments to @POTUS has everyone wondering …
WHAT THE …. ?
Xi’s remark on the Thucydides trap is a classic piece of Chinese diplomatic signaling; polite on the surface, however, very sharp and pointed underneath. It’s a reminder to our president (and the world) that Beijing (Xi) sees itself as the rising power in a structural rivalry with a (supposedly) established hegemon (the U.S.), and that any failure to accommodate China’s ascent risks major conflict which the United States cannot afford (and there is practically zero support from the American people currently for more war and Xi knows it).
Examining it another way, President Xi stated it intentionally to show China as Sparta (rising, dynamic, rightful heir to greater influence) and the U.S. as Athens (established but fearful and in decline). To some students of warfare, this may be an imperfect analogy, but the fact he used this phrase must be clearly and thoroughly examined.
Xi is signaling that the U.S. should step back gracefully, especially on Taiwan (and never lose site of what Xi has already said about Taiwan; One (1) China, and he’s not backing down), checking trade & tech restrictions, and increasingly regional dominance, rather than the U.S. attempting to further impede China’s “rejuvenation” efforts.
Essentially, it was a veiled warning:
Push too hard (ie., on Taiwan or decoupling), and structural tensions could lead to an extremely dangerous place.
Lastly, I believe Xi’s use of this ancient theory on warfare is explicitly tied to Taiwan tensions. At the same time, it’s cooperative language as well. Typical use of smart diplomatic double speak the Chinese are masters at.
Xi addressing a new paradigm, a brighter future for humanity because he knows the world is watching and listening and studying.
This is standard CCP diplomacy that keeps the door open for deals while putting the onus on the U.S. to avoid escalation.
Bottom line, and like it or not, he let Trump know you’re in my house now and we set the rules here.
FYI only, Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War. The War (431–404 BC) was a devastating 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. It was driven by Sparta’s fears of growing Athenian (ie., U.S.) imperialism, the war ended with the total defeat of Athens, fundamentally altering the ancient Greek world and ending its “Golden Age.”
The Peloponnesian war lasted more than two decades. I’d say we’re somewhere in the late third quarter and time favors the watchmakers and not the watch-watchers.
We need to keep in mind that @realDonaldTrump isn’t the only one who understands nor read the art of the deal.

Please listen to every word of this woman's testimony. She alledges she was in a romantic relationship with Thomas Massie within 2 months of his wife's passing. According to her story:
Thomas Massie aggressively pursued her, pressured her to leave her job to follow him to Washington DC.
She alledges Massie secured a job for her with one of his collegues, Rep Victoria Sparks (R-IN), to bring her to DC with him.
She alledges Massie attempted to pursuade her to participate in behavior she was uncomfortable with and became very angry when she refused.
After breaking off the relationship and pursuing ethics complaints against him, are was retaliated against and fired.
She claims Massie became very angry when he learned of her ethics comparing, and attempted to buy her silence with a $5000 bribe with his untraceable proceeds from the sale of his livestock kept in cash.
She claims there is a pending workplace retaliation claim with a settlement of $60k from Congress she is refusing due to the requirement that an NDA would need to be signed.
Thomas Massie, Victoria Sparks, and House Leadership must be forced to respond to these allegations.

⚜️ The Thomas Massie Files Have Been Released, & They're Quite Disturbing ⚜️ Cynthia West, a Florida School Board candidate for Okaloosa County District 5 has been carrying a secret, & she didn't know who to turn to for advice about how to handle it. So, she met up with @marcuscarey, a prominent Kentucky attorney, to seek advice & he interviewed her where she agreed to go on the record with what has been unfolding in her life, involving Thomas Massie, another Congresswoman, attempts to bribe with cash & silence with an NDA. Two months after Massie's wife, Rhonda, passed away, she entered into a romantic relationship with him, which was in August, 2024. Totally normal behavior from a new Widower. The pair went on trips & she'd visit him in Kentucky, in Rhonda's home. Things heated up pretty between them, & he gave her a promise ring. Things were going great between them. In fact, Thomas helped West get a job working for Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz. This way, she could travel to DC to spend more time with him while she was there. Then, the relationship took a weird turn. He began requesting she do s*x acts for him that made her uncomfortable. When she refused & objected to it, she expressed that he became angry & emotionally abusive towards her. West ended the relationship, but continued working for Rep. Spartz. Shortly after the breakup, she said she got a text saying she was fired. Cynthia stated she never got written up, or did anything to warrant this other than expressing concern for Spartz' well-being, so she went to Ethics to put in a complaint. Then, she notified Thomas that he would be named in this report. She said he got very angry, & said to her: "you're just one person, you can't make a difference, & you need to just walk away." Cynthia said he then did what any other principled conservative would do: he tried to bribe her with $5,000 in cash & wanted her to sign an NDA. Cynthia refused the cash & the NDA. Cynthia said Massie has cash that he calls "cow money", which is untraceable & that he doesn't report it. Who knew, the guy who demands transparency in DC, did all he could to be the least transparent in this situation. Same goes for the guy who acted disgusted about Epstein survivors being silenced, yet he tried to bribe off a woman he mistreated in order to prevent this from seeing the light of day. I think the DOJ should investigate this "cow money." It's safe to say Massie is done, & this explains A LOT!

There is a new lane that is forming made up of people from the right and left that are fed up with both parties because both parties have failed the average American.
The new center shares a common America First perspective and arguably could be bigger than both parties.
Americans who no longer want to fund foreign wars, want the hard earned dollars they work for to comfortably afford a good life, and want corrupt elites like the Epstein class held accountable.
These are the basic common ground issues that bring independent minded common sense Americans together.
And it’s the most refreshing thing happening, mostly among the younger generations, to organically be happening in America in a very long time after so many years of toxic political divide.
We need to lean into this.
United we stand.
Divided we fall.
