The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

🚨WTF: JD Vance just declared war on our European allies while campaigning in Budapest, Hungary, for Putin’s favorite anti-democratic thug. Viktor Orbán. Is it now official policy of the U.S. to undermine our allies and side with Putin’s buddies? JD Vance is an embarrassment.

The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders. While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels. And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.” Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean. You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

Israel ARRESTED this 13 year old Palestinian girl. According to the law just passed, she could now be executed “legally” in the prison. Please don’t let them kill her. Repost this.

Trump just gave 13 tech billionaires the keys to America's AI policy. But there's a HUGE conflict of interest... The White House just announced the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Sounds boring. But wait until you understand what this is actually about. Here's who's on it: - Jensen Huang. CEO of Nvidia. His company sells the chips that EVERY AI company on Earth needs to survive. Nvidia is worth $4.4 trillion. And Jensen now gets to advise the president on the rules for the industry his company monopolizes. - Mark Zuckerberg. CEO of Meta. Currently planning to fire 20% of his workforce (15,000 people) while spending $135 billion on AI this year. His company just took a Pentagon contract. Now he's advising on AI workforce policy. The same guy firing 15,000 workers will help decide what happens to American workers displaced by AI. - Larry Ellison. Executive Chairman of Oracle. His company is $125 billion in debt. Bleeding cash. Betting everything on AI data centers funded by borrowed money from foreign banks. US lenders already turned him down. And he's now advising on AI infrastructure policy. The guy who can't get American banks to lend him money is going to shape how America builds its AI future. - Marc Andreessen. The venture capitalist who literally wrote the manifesto called "The Techno-Optimist Manifesto" arguing that AI regulation is dangerous. His firm Andreessen Horowitz has billions invested in AI startups. He's now advising on AI regulation. - Sergey Brin. Google co-founder. His company is spending $75 billion on AI this year and just issued $20 billion in debt including a 100-YEAR bond to fund it. - Lisa Su. CEO of AMD. Nvidia's direct competitor. Both CEOs are on the same council. Both will advise on chip policy. Both have financial interests that directly conflict with each other AND with the public interest. - Michael Dell. The guy who just dropped $6.25 billion on Trump's child investment accounts and gained $6 billion in market value the same week. - Safra Catz. Oracle's CEO. Same company. Same debt crisis. Two Oracle execs on a 13 person council. - Fred Ehrsam. Co-founder of Coinbase. The crypto exchange. On a council co-chaired by David Sacks, Trump's AI AND crypto czar. Crypto and AI policy being shaped by the same people who profit from both. - Jacob DeWitte. CEO of Oklo, the nuclear startup Sam Altman chaired until last year. Oklo builds reactors to power AI data centers. Now advising on the energy policy his company depends on. - Bob Mumgaard. CEO of Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Backed by Nvidia and Google. Building fusion reactors for AI data centers. His investors are sitting next to him on this council. - David Friedberg. Venture capitalist. Part of the Sacks network. - John Martinis. Google's former quantum computing lead. Built the chip that achieved quantum supremacy. That's 13 people. Combined market cap of the companies represented: Over $12 trillion. Combined AI spending commitments for 2026 alone: Roughly $700 billion. Zero consumer advocates. Zero labor representatives. Zero independent scientists. Zero ethicists. The people spending $700 billion on AI are now advising the government on how to regulate AI. The people firing hundreds of thousands of workers are now advising on workforce policy. The people $125 billion in debt from AI bets are now advising on AI infrastructure spending. This isn't a "council." Every regulation this council recommends will directly affect their stock prices, their market positions, and their competitive advantages. Jensen Huang advising on chip export policy affects Nvidia's revenue. Zuckerberg advising on AI safety regulation affects Meta's product roadmap. Ellison advising on cloud infrastructure policy affects Oracle's survival. Andreessen advising on AI startup regulation affects his portfolio returns. In any other industry, this would be called regulatory capture. In tech, they call it the "Golden Age of Innovation." 11 more seats are open. The first meeting hasn't been announced yet. But the rules of AI in America are about to be written by the people who profit the most from keeping them loose. What do you think about this?

📑 "The U.S. is Not Obligated," says Trump — What About the Budapest Memorandum? Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy by stating that the United States is not obligated to help Ukraine. Someone should show him the Budapest Memorandum, where the U.S. committed to protecting Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty in exchange for giving up its nuclear arsenal. The Budapest Memorandum (1994): Under this agreement, Ukraine voluntarily surrendered the world’s third-largest nuclear stockpile. In return, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia provided security assurances, promising to: - Respect Ukraine's existing borders. - Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine. - Provide assistance if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression. The "Assurances" Loophole: Critics of the memorandum (and some U.S. legal scholars) argue that the document used the term "security assurances" rather than "security guarantees," claiming it does not legally bind the U.S. to military intervention. However, for Ukrainians, this distinction feels like a betrayal of the spirit of the deal that led to their total nuclear disarmament.

🇺🇸🇨🇭 Trump said he raised tariffs on Switzerland because he didn’t like how the Swiss “prime minister” spoke to him. Switzerland doesn’t have a prime minister. That’s where we are. 🤷‍♂️

🚨🚨🚨America Read This 🚨🚨🚨 You are being lied to by your sitting President on the United States of America. Donald Trump just claimed again that the US donated 350 Billion dollars to Ukraine. Let’s break this down with the facts rather than these random numbers Donnie is trying to sell you after finishing his nap. Independent tracking by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy estimated that between January 24, 2022 and June 30, 2025, U.S committed aid to Ukraine amounted to about $134 billion, not $350 billion….it gets better. Already a $166 Billion dollar difference than what Trump claims. Please understand committed and allocated isn’t the same as what has actually been delivered. 56% ($74.9 billion USD) of all funds “allocated not supplied” were for weapons. HOWEVER the $74.9 of weapons (Allocated and not necessarily all provided) were independently evaluated and subsequently massively overvalued by the US Government. The True cost of lethal aid was predicted to cost around $18.3 billion even by United States weapons pricing. One reason: when equipment is drawn from existing U.S. inventories “drawdown”, the official accounting often uses replacement-cost valuations, rather than the original (or depreciated) cost. To put it plainly, if you give Ukraine one air defense system, you account for the cost of a brand new air defense system to take its place not for the cost of the 45 year old system that was handed over. Many of the weapons provided to Ukraine was soon to be destroyed by the US forces or decommissioned. ALSO it’s important to take note as we all know the American arms industry massively overvalues the cost of all system due to its industry. America prices its systems at anything from 30-100% higher than the cost of European equivalents with the same capabilities. The true value of these weapons could have been anything from $5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion. Even with a significantly lower number of this, Independent analysts suggested that a large share perhaps 60% or more of the nominal military-aid dollar amount may effectively stay within U.S. defense industry…..60%! Out of aid provided $54 Billions dollars was Financial aid consisting of grants, loans, budget support. Of the US $54.0 billion in U.S. financial-aid allocations for that period, about US $19.3 billion was provided as loans, while roughly US $29.7 billion was given as grants. 🚨🚨That means approximately 39–40% of the U.S. financial aid during that time was structured as loans or other repayable/concessional financing.🚨🚨 The US $3.4 Billion in Humanitarian aid. Here is another kicker. After everything I have just said. According to United states press briefings: the U.S. had only delivered around 83% of promised ammunition, about 67% of pledged air-defence systems, and roughly 60% of committed bombs, artillery rounds, other munitions. $5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion $29.7 billion $3.4 Billion That $350 Billion is looking more like it was 38.59- 51.4 billion to me Donnie. And it’s a funny number that. An estimated $30–60 billion dollars was spent by Americans allies fighting alongside the US after 9/11. This included Ukraine. We never once complained about this loss or the lives we lost. Absolutely shameful.

👉Putin yesterday proposed to “formally declare” that Russia has no intention of attacking Europe And here are some other promises he has made over the past 25 years: 📍Not to rewrite the Constitution for himself. 📍Not to seize Crimea. 📍To pursue a peaceful foreign policy. 📍Not to raise the retirement age: “As long as I am president, that decision will never happen.” 🤡 📍Said he would not run for the throne a third time — or more.
