Trump and Vance

INTERESTING NATIVE FACTS: — Native Americans serve in the U.S. military at the highest per capita rate of any race in our country, including white Americans — Native Americans created the first constitutional republic on American soil in the form of The Great Law of Peace — Benjamin Franklin was inspired by this and other Native forms of governance in his Albany Plan, which some historians speculate led to our own Constitution — During WW2, Navajo Code Talkers sent up to 800 coded messages per day, and considered the only unbroken code in modern military history. These brave soldiers have largely been credited with turning the tide of WW2 — The first Native American congressman and senator were both republicans — Meanwhile Democrats denied Native Americans the right vote. And it was Republicans who reinstated it — Democrats orchestrated and led brutal western expansion efforts that murdered countless Native Americans, destroying entire cultures, in the pursuit of greed — Federal Government orchestrated the Federal Indian Boarding School program which seized Native American children from their homes, sending them sometimes hundreds of miles away, to often be abused or sexually assaulted. The program didn’t end until the 1970s — Federal Government via IHS also horrifyingly sterilized unsuspecting Native American women throughout the same time period. — Democrats built toxic uranium mines on Navajo Nation, creating one of the worst environmental health disasters in US history, with awful rare cancers, and hid it for decades — While Democrats fought against Native American Civil Rights, Republicans fought for Native American tribal sovereignty rights via the Snyder Act — Due to legal decisions like this, Supreme Court justice Neil Gorsuch has been one of the most powerful voices for Native American rights and tribal sovereignty in supreme court history — Countless Native American households do not have running water, including up to 30% on the Navajo nation — Extreme bureaucratic failure (and Democrat apathy) has led reservation communities to some of the worst critical infrastructure issues in our nation, and we have no honored our treaties to help them with this — Due to federal leasing of land, Native Americans can often not obtain a bank loan to build property or businesses on their home, which has devastated their ability to pursue the American dream — Much like the misaligned federal VA hospitals that were struggling before Trump went and fixed them during his 45th presidency, Indian Health Service hospitals are even worse with some of the lowest patient outcomes and physician vacancy rates in the world — Unfortunately, Native Americans currently have the lowest life expectancy of any race in America, but we never hear about it because they are largely a rural population — There are 574 federally recognized tribes and each have different customs, laws, DNA, demographic footprints, and cultural identities — And yet, as a large coalition, they have fiercely maintained their treaty obligations to the US government. Despite being abused and mistreated by an overreaching (but ineffective) federal government — For their loyalty to the US, we have not always honored our treaty rights to them — It’s time to help Native Americans build a better future for their tribes. One with less inflation, more jobs, better infrastructure, and more safety for their communities — One that honors our word, our treaties, and builds these communities to the greatness our First Americans deserve — They serve us, they fight for us and they saved the world’s ass during WW2. We owe it to Native Peoples #MakeNativeAmericaGreat #NativesForTrump

@maziehirono Lies.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Seven times. That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities. How despicable.

This should have been on the front page of The New York Times. I speak to students in America and most have no idea that more than 30,000 Iranians were killed for protesting and demanding freedom. No names. No faces. No coverage. This silence kills me.💔 Thank you, Australia.

@RoKhanna “working class” Khanna:

Dems should be for the working class, not the Epstein class. I plead guilty to coining the phrase.

🚨BREAKING: Sen. John Kennedy is moving to put the SAVE America Act as RECONCILIATION, which only needs 50+1 votes. Reconciliation means they can pass it with 50 votes, not 60. If the SAVE America Act is written as a budget-related bill (money, funding, enforcement) it qualifies for reconciliation which allows it to pass with a simple majority. Why has it taken so long to come up with this? Why is Senator Kennedy coming up with it? … Instead of our leader John Thune? Thune has to go! Whether corrupt, compromised, or utterly incompetent, he has to go!

You put a bill on the floor for *one day* and look what happens.

@alfaromeo071 @drewgrey Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is such a great leader. She’s going to take Japan to new heights We Americans are so grateful to have such strong allies in Japan. 🇯🇵 🤝 🇺🇸

一度しか言いません。 高市首相がやりました！！ 中道の原油の代わりをアラスカで確保！！ しかも中東なら輸送に20日以上を要するが、アラスカ州から日本へは12日程度と短縮！！ 日米首脳会談で合意です！！！！！ 🇯🇵政府「日米首脳会談でアラスカ産原油の調達要請へ」🤝 アラスカ州での原油の生産量は1日あたり40万バレル超 ・現在は大半がアメリカ国内で消費されている ・今後、増産の余地も残されている ・輸送に要する日数 約12間 中東に比べ輸送リスクも少ない ・インフラ投資 80兆円規模の投資案件の1つとして検討 一方で、エネルギー産業の効率を大きく変える材料技術が、日本で静かに完成している。」 大阪の小さな素材メーカーが開発した次世代触媒。 精製効率＋40％、 生産コスト−30％、 設備稼働効率＋25％。 すでにシェルやシェブロンの案件で採用が進んでいるそうです。 それでも株価は、まだ100円台前半。ただ言いたいのは。「来年、早く自由になる人も出るかもね。」私は多くを聞かず、静かに28000株だけ買った。 この件についてはもう公には話せません。 来年の今ごろには、車も家も買い替えられる。そんなレベルだよ！ 迷っている間にもう動いている者と、あなたの差は開いていく。 来年の今頃、現実が変わっていないのは、今動かなかった者だけだ。 よく「なぜ有料にしないの？」と聞かれますが、株の発信はあくまで趣味。経済的に困っていないので、無料でシェアしています 👍「いいね」で即座に銘柄をお知らせします。

BREAKING: 6 American allies including Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands just pledged support to secure Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes, per Fox News.

BREAKING: The Islamic regime in Iran hanged the 19-year-old wrestler and anti-regime protester Saleh Mohammadi today

🚨 JUST IN: Japan PM Sanae Takaichi gives HUGE praise to President Trump in the Oval Office "I firmly believe it is only YOU, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world."

@nicksortor When we see all the chaos and battles in the world today — let Japan & USA relations be a reminder that was once fierce enemies of WW2 could evolve into the most loyal of allies Sanae Takaichi is an incredible leader, and we are so grateful to have a true ally in Japan

@jackunheard How on earth do 190 Democrats vote against this?? Like, we as Americans, all Americans, really are incompatible with 180-190 Democrats in the House. Scary, really.

🚨BREAKING: The United States House of Representatives just passed the BOWOW Act. Non-citizens who assault federal working dogs now face automatic deportation, 228-190. Love it

.@CIADirector: "Iran possesses at least 440kg of uranium enriched to weapons-grade 60% — which doesn't have a civilian use. The only use for that would be the development of nuclear weapons."

"Was Iran developing a nuclear weapon prior to our military action last June and did Iran remain committed to developing a nuclear weapon in the lead-up to this conflict?" @CIADirector: Yes "If left unchecked, do you think Iran would have the ability to develop missiles capable of reaching the United States?" @CIADirector: "Yes."

I think another factor is — Americans have had to live for 4 decades with the looming threat of Iran Both parties. Both warning for 4 decades Meanwhile, no real progress to nullify the threat except to send money That sense of dread wears people down, over time. That little vestige in the back of one’s mind that all Americans have to worry about Europe doesn’t have that with Iran. Then, the killing of 32,500 iranian protestors is really what broke it for Americans. Hard to go and protest a war when your compatriots protesting in said country are brutally murdered and hung Add in random drone strikes to civilian hotels, and even the most dyed in blue leftist is like — ugh… We also just went through Leftist hysteria over Venezuela. And turned out to be a roaring success, with diplomatic relations already being re-established and the Venezuelan people happy — in short order. Becoming harder and harder to empathize with Europe when we have to be the bad guy to safeguard the world from a regime that would slaughter 32,500 protestors in a week — and all they do is stick their nose at America. Especially after everything we’ve contributed to their Eastern Europe battles. And bankrolling NATO for decades. As you pointed out in your other piece, Europe seemed more interested in pushing socialist carbon taxes on American ships — while making no real advancements in the act of protecting maritime ships and shipping lanes. Europe thinking they could bully us around with policy, while we do the dirty protective work. And EU policy patronizing extends to every sector.

Dear Europe, I know you feel outrage. I have talked to many of you on the phone. I know politicians and media on both sides of the Atlantic are furious. I attended a conference with mostly Europeans. The worry and frustration was palpable. I get it too. You are dependent on Middle East oil and aluminum and fertilizer and shipping and LNG. Dubai is a vital travel hub for you. Vital. But don’t worry. Trump will lose the midterms and Congress will flip and side with you. Or maybe not… I live in the bluest town in the bluest state, where protests are practically a seasonal sport. I drove over eight hours across New England this week past the usual corners where outrage normally lives. This time? Nothing. Left, right, center. I’m hearing almost no one talk about this war. MAGA doesn’t even care. Ask someone and you’ll get the expected talking points. But in coffee shops, kitchens, real life? Silence. Hard truth: most Americans just don’t care. And since the weather warmed, not a single keffiyeh in sight. So when Trump says you need to go protect the ships and airports that are vital to YOU, I think he means it. Because the vast majority of Americans don’t care. And it’s not that we want to see you spin into an energy and food shortage. It’s that even the most TDS-inflicted liberal American is getting tired of your BS. Hating Trump is one thing. Almost half of America is OK with that. But your anti-American vitriol and arrogance and weakness is exhausting. Nobody likes a needy person who is angry and thinks they are better than you. It’s literally the worst combination in a person. And you might not want to admit it, but you are needy. You need us to reopen Hormuz. You need our banks and our markets. You need a lot. “We will not participate in this war” is fine. Nobody is asking you to bomb civilians. What’s weak is you won’t surge defensive missiles and planes to protect European-owned ships and property. When exactly did defense make you a participant? Defense of innocent life and property isn’t a “war crime.” And you DO own the majority of ships getting attacked. Ships that you are unwilling to defend maybe because you outsource the labor to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Ukraine. You are the wealthy lords who abandoned the mansion but told the help to stick around and defend it. So you might want to send a few warships and missile defense units to protect YOUR property. Or at least leave them at anchor and send the innocent crews home. You want us to defend the Strait because we started this mess? That’s reasonable. Problem is the reaction from most of America to your demands is: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And now we have three oil markets: Asia (Oman oil at $167), Brent ($113) and US (WTI $97)

🚨 Trumps approval rating now at 100% among MAGA supporters.

🇺🇸Kash Patel’s FBI had an insane year in 2025. They crushed violent crime arrests, dropped homicides and robberies by 20% each, wrecked 1,800 gangs and criminal networks, seized over 2,250 kilos of fentanyl (enough to wipe out 178 million people). They rescued 6,000+ child victims, busted 1,700 child predators and 300+ human traffickers, and nailed seven of the Ten Most Wanted fugitives. Source: FBI

@MarioNawfal Mario, would love to hear your thoughts on John Konrad’s viral take on the Strait. Long deep dive, but interesting and makes a lot of sense:

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The U.S. is pulling out all the stops to reopen the Strait of Hormuz: * Navy escorts already running for some tankers * Heavy pressure on allies (UK, France, Gulf states, even Japan) to send warships * Threats of direct U.S. action if Iran keeps laying mines & hitting ships * Diplomatic push (talks with Oman, Qatar, UAE) + economic leverage (waiving some Russian oil sanctions to calm prices) Why it matters: - 20% of world oil + huge LNG flows through that 21-mile choke point. - Iran’s blockade = global energy shock. Trump wants a coalition so the U.S. doesn’t pay the full bill but so far it’s mostly American ships & threats. Source: Reuters, CBS
