I understand there's a lot going on... But can someone at the DOJ help me find out why DOZENS of donations were made in my name to ACT BLUE Democrats in KANSAS... ...when I've NEVER been to Kansas or donated to any political candidate in my entire life? Something is up...

It was only a matter of time before EU-fanatics would start to change the terms and conditions of EU membership, after countries were already locked in. And govts resistant to the changes? Well they are simply targeted, their opposition funded and supported. See Hungary today.

He’s a Muslim and should abdicate.

When we look back on US foreign policy, we can say the biggest blunder our lawmakers made was telling us post-911 that Islam isn’t our enemy. Humanity will forever be at war with Mohammedans. We need leaders who choose us over the Mohammedans and understand this is a war of us vs them. Until Islam falls, there will never be peace on Earth. It’s just the reality. I don’t think 2 billions Muslims are just going away anytime soon. It’s a shame for the future of humanity that we have all been gaslit into thinking we can coexist with Mohammedans. Lots of tough decisions ahead.

The niece of Qassem Soleimani, who until today lived in freedom on a green card in the US, will be deported. This is a GREAT decision. Thank you, Marco Rubio. DEPORT THEM ALL.

France was the only Western country to vote 'NO' at the UN Security Council to authorize Arab nations to use force to open the strait. France voted with China & Russia. That was yesterday. Today, French ships are passing through the strait. I don't believe in coincidences. - @DavidD_Chapman

BREAKING: Following my report and follow up with the US State Department in which I exposed the fact that Qasem Soleimani’s Niece Hamideh Soleimani Afshar has been living in the United States (Los Angeles, California) where she posts pro-Iranian regime and pro-IRGC content on her social media while she lives a life of luxury, the US State Department and @SecRubio have just revoked her green card and she has been picked up by ICE. She has been arrested and will be deported back to Iran! According to the official @StateDept press release, “Last night, the niece and grand niece of deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s termination of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status.   Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran. In addition to the termination of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter’s LPR status, Afshar’s husband has also been barred from entering the United States.” Over the last few months, I have quietly been documenting all of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar’s social media activity. I uploaded it all to a secure file and shared it with DHS and Department of State, and now she has been arrested and she will be deported from our country. Thank you, @potus @SecRubio @marcorubio @ASDylanJohnson! state.gov/releases/offic…

It doesn’t help Europe’s cause that their citizens enjoy work benefits and social programs Americans can only dream of, because we’re subsidizing their military protection. When I worked heavily with a European workforce in the 2000’s, we basically planned around the fact that nothing would get done in August because everyone over there was on holiday.

@marcthiessen When Macron said that opening the Strait using the military was not an option, he was proving Trump was right. If the Strait cannot be opened now, with Iran at 10% of their militart capability, how could it have ever been opened in the future if Iran decided to close it?

We pour hundreds of millions into Sigonella—the US base in Italy Italy wants our flight plans pre-filed for Parliament to debate and approve. Translation: Every sensitive mission gets broadcast in open debate—tipping off enemies on dates, times & routes—while Rome gets veto power over American security. A funded base we can't actually use when it we need it....Its bullshit and we shouldnt spend another dime on it.

I'm pro-NATO. But I can't think of a single argument to refute what @MsMelChen says here. Not one. If others can, please weigh in.

So many longtime NATO supporters saying the same thing right now. I helped bring Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic into NATO. But denying us basing and overflight is inexcusable, as is their failure to help with Strait of Hormuz. No one asking them to bomb Iran, just let us use our bases and help escort ships. If they can’t do that, NATO has no purpose.

May I offer a different perspective on the whole transatlantic family feud brewing over NATO. Europeans are furious at what they call American unilateralism and "wars of choice," while Americans are done subsidizing allies who won't lift a finger when Washington actually needs them. Given all the sentimentality and historical baggage, there’s been a lot of bad blood and high grade insults thrown both ways. A lot of pride here is at stake. But given that I am not American or European, what I can provide is an Asian perspective. The whole thing looks very different as there are no blood ties or cultural nostalgia to pull me either way. Because of distance, the default Asian lens on America has always been colder, clearer, and far more pragmatic than the European one. Asians have never lived under the illusion that their relationship to the US is one based on shared values. If they ever did, the illusion was shattered during the Cold War. Instead, Asian nations saw the relationship to America as a cold, interest-driven bargain in a dangerous neighborhood full of communists, insurgents, and bigger powers. Fast forward to today, and this lesson still holds. Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore and Indonesia all partner with America because their interests (not values) align - especially when it comes to countering China. These nations have reasons to be alarmed about Beijing's ambitions in the South China Sea, around Taiwan, and across the Indo-Pacific. They don't need lectures about democracy or liberal international order to see the value in US forward presence, intelligence sharing, tech transfers, and security guarantees. It's a straight-up transactional deal: the US keeps the sea lanes open and the PLA at bay. Meanwhile, Asian nations host your bases, buy your weapons, and join your alliances (Quad, AUKUS, etc.). When interests diverge, they adjust pragmatically, without the drama and meltdown. Probably not many in the West know this, but one of the forces that shaped this attitude was the US pullout of Vietnam and the rest of America’s Cold War shenanigans. Lee Kuan Yew was one of America’s loudest cheerleaders in Southeast Asia. In 1967 he flew to Washington, testified to Congress, and begged Lyndon Johnson (and later Nixon) not to cut and run in Vietnam. He warned that a hasty US exit would trigger the dominoes - Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and then pressure on the rest of Southeast Asia. Singapore became a logistical hub, providing a haven for US troops on R&R, oil refineries supplying the American war machine, and Lockheed servicing aircraft. At one point, US military-related spending made up 15% of Singapore’s entire GDP. Singapore didn’t support the war because it loved American democracy but because it kept the communists tied up and bought Southeast Asia time to build up its own economy and military. Then came the pullout - the Paris Accords in 1973 and then Saigon falls in 1975. Despite all the lobbying, despite the blood and resources America had spent, domestic politics in the US (the anti-war movement, Congress, Vietnam syndrome etc.) ended it. LKY watched in disbelief as the superpower that had promised to hold the line simply walked away. The lesson was that American commitments are real only as long as they serve American interests and American voters don’t get tired. It’s a brutal one to internalize. LKY was disappointed and noted American “unreliability” but Singapore didn’t collapse into panic or anti-Americanism. They just recalibrated and kept pursuing pragmatism by building its own deterrent, diversifying partners, and later offered the US naval logistics access (Sembawang port) when the Philippines kicked them out of Subic Bay in the early 1990s. Malaysia drew the same conclusion. The Tunku was pro-Western and anti-communist early on, but Malaysia never joined SEATO and pushed ZOPFAN (Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality) instead. When the British announced their East-of-Suez withdrawal in 1968 and Nixon’s Doctrine (1969) told Asians “you defend yourselves first, we’ll just help,” Kuala Lumpur accelerated its neutralist tilt. The message was clear - don’t count on Washington to bleed indefinitely for distant allies. South Korea is similarly pragmatic but it operates under far higher stakes due to baggage from the Korean War and the ongoing North Korean threat. American intervention literally saved the South from conquest, resulting in a bond that is forged in blood. While South Korea had to learn the same lessons - that the American umbrella isn’t permanent, sharing a border with a nuclear-armed adversary forces tighter coupling with Washington. The reverberations of Nixon’s 1973 opening to Beijing cannot be understated. It shocked the entire region that America, the great anti-communist crusader, suddenly would cozy up to Mao to counter the Soviets. If Washington could flip on core principles when interests demanded it, why should smaller states pretend the relationship was about anything deeper? The core Asian critique of the European approach to dealing with America is that it is entirely bound up in moral values and civilizational kinship. This means that every disagreement feels like a betrayal and breeds resentment on both sides. Because Europe is so hyped up on abstract values, it makes NATO feel like a sacred club that America is disrespecting. Asia's interest-based lens sees alliances as tools - useful until they're not. Maybe Europe thinks the Asian approach is cynical but the irony is that this is actually what keeps Indo-Pacific partners far more reliable counterweights to China than many NATO members ever were against Russia.

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

NATO: Germany is preparing for the US to shutter its bases and to pull out its 100,000 troops. Get ready for Fortress Europe and the rise of German nationalism.

So instead Starmer chooses to be a vassal of another hegemonic power- the EU

I've got a very bad feeling that dumping America for France is not going to serve us well. This is a mistake, we're making a very big mistake.

When Pam Bondi, Elon Musk, and President Trump called me together from Mar-a-Lago in November, 2024 after the election, and asked if I were willing to leave private practice and nonprofit CEO roles to serve in the DOJ, I didn’t hesitate. I respected Pam a LOT, and was Team Trump since 2016. Senate confirmation is no joke and going through it as a new widow and having lost my father weeks before the election was tough, but worth it, and I’m so grateful for a large and loving base of friends and family and fans who had my back. It has been an incredible honor to serve under @AGPamBondi at the DOJ. She is the epitome of grace, class, patriotism, and integrity. She has been a dear friend and worthy of respect and loyalty. She served our country faithfully and well. I will miss her at the DOJ, and wish her the very best. I’ve worked well with @DAGToddBlanche since I was sworn in a year ago, and told him and the President yesterday I look forward to supporting his transition to Acting AG. It is the privilege of my lifetime to serve my country at the DOJ, and I will continue to serve in whatever role the President deems most appropriate for me. Stay tuned — great things ahead at the DOJ! 🇺🇸

🚨BREAKING: Peter Mandelson tried to help convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in arranging for a visit by his 15-year old goddaughter to 10 Downing Street at a time when Epstein was in prison for procuring a minor for prostitution. The Epstein files indicate the 15-year-old girl would later meet then-Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace, emails released by the US Department of Justice reveal.

Time to LEAVE NATO!
