@clashreport Strategic ambiguity has been the policy for decades, I don’t remember reporters cornering Biden or Obama in that way.

Reporter: Would the US defend Taiwan if it came to it? Trump: I don't want to say that. I'm not going to say that. That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, “I don't talk about those.” Reporter: He asked you if you would send troops? Trump: He asked me if I'd defend them. I said, “I don't talk about that.”

@joekent16jan19 @ShawnRyan762 After 40+ years of them being the largest sponsor of terrorism worldwide it may take a few months to break that regime. They thank you for your support though.

The war in Iran has settled into an unsustainable cycle of brief military action, then a return to a costly cease fire followed by rumors of a deal that never seems to materialize. This has left most Americans wondering how we can get out of this war before things get worse. This week I wrote about how we can break this cycle and get out of the war on @ShawnRyan762's newsletter. Subscribe here: shawnryanshow.com/pages/newslett…

@BernieSanders We a republic…

Are we still a democracy?

The @bbc left off Israel from the list of countries who made it to the Eurovision final. This was obviously on purpose - there’s no way you can just forget a country from a list. They were forced to issue a correction…

This is the contradiction many Americans are finally noticing. The political Left constantly speaks about “representation” and “diversity”… until Black conservatives, Black Christians, Black nationalists, or Black Republicans enter the conversation. Then suddenly representation no longer matters. Why? Because for many activists and institutions, diversity was never truly about diversity of thought… it was about ideological conformity. A Black conservative woman running on family, law and order, economic growth, school standards, and constitutional values disrupts the narrative that all Black Americans think alike politically. And that creates discomfort. So instead of engaging the ideas… they reduce everything to race arithmetic, identity politics, or emotional tribalism. That is why so many people are walking away from modern DEI ideology. Because Americans increasingly want competence, leadership, stability, and outcomes… not permanent racial sorting systems where identity matters more than merit or policy. And ironically… The democrats screaming loudest about “diversity” often become the most hostile when someone diverse in political thought appears. That contradiction is becoming impossible to ignore. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

The U.S. just quietly completed a major nuclear security operation, removing highly enriched uranium from Venezuela more than two years ahead of schedule. Weapons-usable nuclear material was transported out of the country with support from the UK and IAEA and transferred to a secure U.S. facility.

Brett Kavanaugh, a man in his 50s, had been valedictorian of his high school, at Yale College and a star student at Yale Law, had clerked for the Supreme Court, had a top career as an appellate lawyer and federal judge and a pristine reputation, and then a random woman from the town he grew up in claimed he had groped her at a party 35 years earlier when they were in high school. Kavanaugh didn’t try to argue that the incident was consensual. He didn’t claim he remembered things differently than she did. He immediately stated that he had never even met the accuser. Denying ever meeting the accuser is a much stronger claim than merely denying assaulting her, and much easier to refute. After Kavanaugh made this denial, Christine Blasey-Ford no longer had to prove he had sexually assaulted her to scuttle his nomination, she only had to prove that the two of them had attended a party together at which such an assault might have occurred. She was unable to do so. She did not know whose house the alleged assault occurred at. None of the people she claimed attended the party corroborated any aspect of her account. Leland Keyser, a friend of Blasey-Ford’s, who the accuser claimed was at the alleged party, said she recalled no such event and had never met Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh produced a detailed calendar he had kept during the summer Blasey-Ford alleged she was assaulted, which included his whereabouts of every weekend night and listing who he was with. Kavanaugh argued that he could alibi himself and provide witnesses for any night Blasey-Ford claimed she might have been at a party with him. Blasey-Ford responded that she did not know the date of her assault and was not entirely certain it even occurred that year. Instead of being seen as persuasive, Kavanaugh’s calendar was mocked in both mainstream and social media because the reason he kept it was for a drinking contest he was having with his friends. Nearly a decade later, there is still not a single shred of proof or a single witness who will corroborate the claim that Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey-Ford were ever in the same room before she testified at his confirmation hearing. Nonetheless, people like Nick Kristof still claim Kavanaugh was “credibly accused” of sexually assaulting this woman.

@washingtonpost Now do Pelosi.

President Trump was months late in disclosing tens of millions of dollars in stock trading, according to his latest investment filings, pushing the legal limits of a financial practice Americans have largely opposed from their elected officials. wapo.st/4drlT67

@SkyNews Why don’t you send Starmer to fix it?

Xi Jinping has promised to send rose seeds to Donald Trump, but has he made any promises on human rights in China? Donald Trump has said his state visit to China was 'unforgettable', but still, the country's record on human rights continues to be an issue on the world stage.

18 months ago we were doing diversity and inclusion vignette training. Today we’re obliterating terrorists, sinking entire navies, and snatching rogue leaders during their sleep. Fort Benning is using bayonets again. Understand how far we’ve come. Not a step back.

Prove the FBI raid on President Trump’s home was both defensive and offensive: they seized the Crossfire Hurricane files that Trump had already declassified to hide the evidence of the Obama-Brennan-Comey Russia hoax and then had Biden’s DOJ reclassify the exact same documents to keep them buried forever. Left side: Trump declassified. Right side: same document magically reclassified by Biden after the raid. This was never about “classified documents” — it was a desperate move to destroy the proof of the greatest political scandal in American history. The deep state literally broke into Trump’s home to cover their own crimes. President Trump was right the entire time and the truth keeps coming out. @AmericaPulseNew Drop a comment if you want every single person involved in this raid and reclassification prosecuted and repost this everywhere — the American people deserve full accountability on ObamaGate once and for all. #MarALagoRaid #CrossfireHurricane #ObamaGate #DeepStateCoverUp #TrumpWasRight #MAGA #AmericaFirst #Trump

Spencer Pratt: I will clean up homeless encampments, address drug addicts, & prevent fires from burning down people's homes. Karen Bass: I will spend your money on teeth for meth addicts. Nithya Raman: I will ban grilling burgers in the backyard. Your choice, Los Angeles.

先程、トランプ大統領と電話会談を行いました。 中国訪問を終えられ、お帰りになるエアフォース・ワンの中から、お電話をいただきました。 トランプ大統領からは、今般の中国訪問について詳細に説明があり、経済安全保障を含む経済や、安全保障など、中国をめぐる諸課題を中心に意見交換を行いました。 また、イラン情勢についても、トランプ大統領に日本の考えを改めてお伝えしました。 日米同盟の更なる強化に向けた協力やインド太平洋、中東などの国際情勢への対応で、今後とも、トランプ大統領と緊密に連携してまいります。

Here ya go👇🇺🇸

There’s only one person I can think of 😂

@nithyavraman Who?

Vote for Cynthia Raman on June 2nd!!

Spencer Pratt broke Nithya Raman so badly she forgot her own name.

@mattvanswol The Left wants black representation until they don't. Their only principle is power.
