It's fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope. Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd: "We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice." The account was deleted the day he was elected.

Dr. Oz shares simple ways to keep food cravings under control. “When people drink their calories, their brains don’t register it.” “That’s the big problem with soft drinks, it tricks your brain.” “You gave it something that tastes sweet… and yet it didn’t get calories.” “So it wants you to go back and find calories.” “In every study ever done, people who eat nuts actually lose weight.” “Your brain says, you gave me nutrients, I don’t have to keep eating.” “When I travel, I always keep nuts in my pocket. Everyone should just carry it around with you.” “I soak my nuts.” “The reason for that is you germinate the nuts, they plump up, they become alive again.” @DonaldJTrumpJr

HISTORIC RECRUITING NUMBERS CONTINUE… Just learned the @usairforce & @USSpaceForce met their FY26 recruiting goals 5 months early. Ahead of last year’s record pace. Both @USArmy & @USMC soon to follow. Young Americans surging to President Trump’s @DeptofWar.

Newly released surveillance video just dropped showing the exact moment a 20-year-old coward walked into Pauls Valley High School, Oklahoma with two pistols screaming he wanted “to do another Columbine.” His first target? Principal Kirk Moore. Instead of hiding or waiting for SWAT, this absolute sheepdog charged straight at the gunman. Took a bullet to the leg, ripped the pistol out of the shooter’s hands, and pinned that piece of garbage to the floor. Evil walked through the front doors looking for headlines. A real American hero put it down in seconds. This is exactly what we mean when we say we need more men like Kirk Moore. Give that principal a damn medal. 🇺🇸

2.3 MILLION homes in New York City and on Long Island will soon have access to affordable natural gas thanks to President Trump and the new NESE Pipeline. This is a HUGE win for New York, for US energy dominance, and for common sense. Next up: New York needs to urgently get behind Constitution Pipeline so natural gas can also be delivered to MILLIONS of New Englanders as well!

A US Navy destroyer intercepted two oil tankers attempting to leave Iran on Tuesday and ordered them to turn back, Reuters reported, citing two US officials. The vessels departed Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman and were contacted by the warship via radio communication, the officials said. The officials said the tankers were among six merchant vessels that US Central Command said had been instructed to return toward Iranian ports after entering the Gulf of Oman.

@WallStreetMav TMZ are gossip mongers and false tale tellers.

TMZ is going to bring so much needed transparency to Congress, we’ll have a supermajority for removing freedom of the press in the First Amendment.

This is so bad. White South African murdered in his home, his fiancée gang raped by 6 men. This is what the ‘Kill the Boer’ chants lead to! This stuff never stopped and Continues to happen to innocent people! Something needs to be done.

The Democrats adopted a deliberate policy of mass resettling dangerous and violent migrants from third world into every American town.

Food for thought. Trump’s Deal With Indonesia: Mahan at the Strait of Malacca Hu Jintao warned China about this moment more than twenty years ago. In 2003, the then Chinese president coined the phrase “Malacca dilemma” to describe a simple, brutal fact: the country’s economic rise depended on foreign oil sailing through a narrow strait that other powers could, in a crisis, choose to close. Most of China’s imported crude and gas still squeezes through that same bottleneck between Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The US has just moved to wire that vulnerability, and it is no accident this is happening on Donald Trump’s watch. Washington’s new Major Defense Cooperation Partnership with Indonesia is being sold in the usual diplomatic euphemisms: capacity building, maritime security, joint training. Strip away the boilerplate and you see something far sharper. The agreement’s focus on maritime domain awareness, subsurface and autonomous systems, and special forces training is about giving Indonesia and by extension the U.S. and its allies, a far richer picture of everything that moves between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, and greater ability to shape it in a crisis. As with Trump’s broader Indo‑Pacific posture, this is one more move to reassert the US as the pre‑eminent maritime power of the age, and to ensure China feels that reality every time a tanker clears the Strait. Hu’s “Malacca dilemma” was never only about a single shipping lane. It was about the geometry of China’s energy dependence. Oil from the Gulf and Africa has to arrive by sea. The shortest, cheapest route runs past India, through Malacca and adjacent Indonesian straits, and then up into waters where the U.S. Navy and its partners have operated for decades. A coalition that can see, track and, if necessary, interdict that flow holds a lever over China’s economy that no amount of rhetoric about multipolarity can wish away. More than a century ago, Alfred Thayer Mahan argued that sea power, fleets, chokepoints and maritime commerce, would decide the fate of great powers. The Malacca dilemma is Mahan’s theory rendered in modern energy terms: a continental power whose trade and fuel move by sea lives or dies by access to narrow maritime bottlenecks policed by others. Trump’s Indonesia move is pure Mahan: rather than chasing dominance on land, Washington is tightening its grip on the sea lanes and straits through which China’s economic lifeblood must flow. Beijing has spent two decades trying to escape this trap with pipelines from Central Asia and Russia, a corridor through Myanmar and a “string of pearls” of ports from Gwadar to Djibouti. Yet the volumes tell a less reassuring story: overland routes move at the margin, while the bulk of China’s energy still comes by tanker and still passes through Southeast Asian chokepoints. The dilemma has been managed, not resolved. That is why Indonesia matters. Jakarta insists it is not choosing sides and will continue to balance between Washington and Beijing. It doesn’t have to do more than that for this pact to bite. As Indonesian officers train with American counterparts and integrate U.S.‑supplied surveillance and patrol systems, the operational environment quietly changes. Chinese planners contemplating a crisis over Taiwan, the South China Sea or even a clash around Hormuz now have to assume that traffic through Malacca and its alternatives will unfold under a web of sensors and partnerships that lean, in practice if not in rhetoric, toward Washington. Another move by President Trump, in other words. From rebuilding American shipyards to pouring money into Indo‑Pacific maritime forces, the pattern is clear: the United States intends to remain a maritime superpower, and to make China live with Hu Jintao’s old nightmare instead of escaping it. Mahan would have recognised the logic instantly: in the end, it is the power that commands the sea, and the straits, that sets the terms for everyone else.

RESULTS: Nine minutes after we posted about a Havana Syndrome victim's widow and the struggle to get her late husband's tax forms, the Office of Personnel Management @USOPM stepped in. OPM Director @skupor replied on @X + now the matter is resolved. Thank you! The ability to get issues in front of decision makers is one reason X stands out.

They are calling for the genocide of Whites

This is stunning and says everything about the TDS-afflicted and nothing about @POTUS. The Iranian regime murdered 35,000 of its people (the low estimate) on January 8/9. You can hate Trump but not so much as to cheer on the equal of any evil regime on the planet.

🇺🇸This is why Israel 🇮🇱 fights. Israel’s special force’s known as Shayetet 13, their moto Never Again.🇺🇸

Zero media coverage. ZERO. I wonder why…

BREAKING: President Trump strikes against narco-terrorists — marking the third consecutive day of lethal action. U.S. Southern Command confirms it eliminated four individuals identified as narco-terrorists. No U.S. personnel were harmed.

July 2020: 5 1/2 YEARS LATER and NOTHING has CHANGED! A 31-year-old career criminal with OVER 100 PRIOR ARRESTS casually body-slams a 92-year-old retired school teacher walking to the drugstore. She smashes her head on a fire hydrant, terrified, bleeding, and now scared to leave her own home. And they want to lecture us about “reform”? This monster was out on the streets because soft-on-crime policies and revolving-door “justice” let him rack up arrest after arrest with zero consequences. How many more grandmas have to get their skulls cracked before we say ENOUGH? Lock these animals up for good. No more excuses. No more coddling repeat predators. Protect the innocent. Punish the guilty. America is sick and tired of this garbage. GARBAGE👇🏻
