Pay attention to meeeeeee !!!!

Who else could have given this speech ? "Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts and tired divisions of the past..." "... and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together — not bombing each other out of existence. This great transformation has not come from Western interventionists… giving you lectures on how to live or how to govern your own affairs. No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called ‘nation-builders,’ ‘neo-cons,’ or ‘liberal non-profits,’ like those who spent trillions failing to develop Kabul and Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought about by the people of the region themselves … developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions, and charting your own destinies. In the end, the so-called ‘nation-builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built — and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves...." From President Trump's speech in Riyadh. https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/05/in-riyadh-president-trump-charts-the-course-for-a-prosperous-future-in-the-middle-east/

Federal Magistrate Drops Charges Against 100 Aliens Trespassing in New Mexico Military Zone Magistrate Wormuth ruled in the dismissals that the federal government failed to prove sufficiently that the illegal aliens facing charges of trespassing onto the designated military property knew they were entering the New Mexico National Defense Area. https://www.breitbart.com/border/2025/05/16/federal-magistrate-drops-charges-against-100-aliens-trespassing-in-new-mexico-military-zone/ .

Where's “No Tax on Social Security? I found out. Congress CAN NOT alter Social Security through budget reconciliation (the Big Beautiful Bill) because of The Byrd Rule. It simply isn't allowed. The Byrd Rule in the Senate prohibits provisions in budget reconciliation bills (which require only a simple majority to pass) from directly altering Social Security. This rule classifies changes to Social Security, such as eliminating taxes on benefits, as "extraneous" to budgetary reform unless they are incidental to the budget process. To eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, Congress would need to pass a standalone bill, which requires 60 Senate votes to overcome a potential filibuster. With a closely divided Senate, securing bipartisan support for such a measure is difficult, especially if Democrats oppose it due to fiscal concerns.

JOE CONCHA: Jake Tapper’s ‘bombshell’ book on Biden’s decline is a laughable attempt to rewrite history. Thompson’s claim that every White House “is capable of deception” again makes the hilarious case that reporters believed what the Biden team was telling them without raising any questions. Remember, this was the same White House that insisted inflation was transitory or was part of the mythical “Putin price hike.” This is the same team that claimed the border was secure. It’s the same team that actually accused Republicans of wanting to defund the police. And the same team that said Hunter Biden’s laptop was a product of Russia and COVID-19 didn’t come from a lab that literally studies coronaviruses. Not exactly a track record of honesty. Tapper and Thompson’s Original Sin is on track to be a bestseller when it hits bookstores next week. The authors will profit nicely from it. But in terms of something that can’t be bought, a thing called integrity, both men can kiss that goodbye. Just like most of the rest of legacy media that took part in the worst “cover-up” in modern American history. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3412008/jake-tapper-book-biden-decline-laughable-attempt-rewrite-history/

I don’t understand why anyone feels that they have to default to assuming either good intentions by Comey or that they must somehow explain that we are overreacting to his childish, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, murder the president post. It is essential that we treat this creep, exactly the same way, and with exactly the same ruthlessness as we would be treated in similar circumstances. This is the only way to either return to the old rules, or ensure that our enemies do not profit from our unilateral disarm. You’re not better than that. You’re just weak, and you empower the enemy. Stop doing that. Fight viciously and ruthlessly over every little thing every single time without remorse or hesitation. And, even if you lose, at least you will never be a serf.

Progress: Russia, Ukraine Agree to POW Swap Following Peace Talks Susie Moore There's a bit of progress to report out of Turkey as initial peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have resulted in an agreed swap of prisoners of war. Initially, the plan was for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to meet face-to-face on Thursday. However, that fell apart after Putin announced he would be sending a delegation rather than attending himself. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/05/16/progress-russia-ukraine-agree-to-pow-swap-following-peace-talks-n2189174

Democrats put a guy in prison over an election meme. Trump has an OBLIGATION to address Comey’s message now. Retribution. It’s the only way to make the madness stop. https://x.com/Oilfield_Rando/status/1923393554178519351

Judge Who Ordered Admin to Process 12,000 Refugees Tucks Tail After 9th Circuit Corrects Him...Again By Susie Moore https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/05/15/judge-who-ordered-admin-to-process-12000-refugees-tucks-tail-after-9th-circuit-corrects-him-again-n2189147

Comey deleted the Instagram post, and tried to explain: “I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message,” Comey said in a statement, posted on Instagram. “I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.” This seems to me to dig the hole deeper. I think there is almost no chance that Comey happened upon these shells, arranged by someone else. I think he did it himself. And he admits that he “assumed [it was] a political message.” Why? Because “47” obviously referred to Trump. So that leaves “86.” Comey says he “didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.” I don’t believe it. If it is a political message, and it refers to Trump, what did he think the “86” signified? Just two random numbers? So that, without understanding the message, he somehow thought the arrangement was “cool” enough to post on Instagram. Murder the President! How cool can you get? Comey is a rabid and thoroughly dishonest Democrat, as he proved during his tenure as FBI Director, and subsequently. Fantasies about assassinating Trump are widespread among Democrats, and it seems plain that Comey indulged such a fantasy here, in a message to his fellow Democrats who follow him on Instagram. This would be contemptible if done by anyone, but by a former FBI Director? Appalling. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/05/assassination-threat-by-comey.php#google_vignette .

Illegal Alien Teen Kills Young CO Woman in High-Speed Racing Crash, Serves No Time By Bob Hoge If you’re like many of us, you read the headlines and are regularly wondering, wait, what?! This serial criminal or that illegal alien gangbanger or this savage attacker was roaming the streets despite numerous prior crimes and they just struck again? There is a time for mercy and second chances, but the progressive left has made such a mockery of those notions that violent thugs are treated as victims rather than criminals—and the actual victims are often left in the dust by our system. Unfortunately, we have another incident to add to that list: a teenage Colombian illegal immigrant was racing his compatriots at speeds of over 90 miles an hour in the Denver suburb of Aurora when he plowed into the car of 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver, instantly killing her. For this tragedy, the perp was sentenced to... probation and community service. As we’ve seen all too often, the miscarriage of justice was courtesy of a woke prosecutor, the kind that has infected all too many jurisdictions in our country https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2025/05/16/american-justice-2025-illegal-alien-teen-kills-young-co-woman-in-high-speed-racing-crash-serves-no-time-n2189164 .

Common sense is returning.

Man Who Turned World Into Dumpster Fire And Covered Up Biden's Senility Says Trump Sucks at Diplomacy David Strom Jake Sullivan has been, along with Anthony Blinken, one of the top players in the Democratic foreign policy world for a decade and a half. He is so good at his job that you could call him a key architect of the great policies that brought us the color revolutions, the Libyan collapse, the "Arab Spring," the Syrian Civil War, the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Ukraine War, and then the October 7th attacks and the war in Gaza. Sullivan famously penned an article for Foreign Affairs bragging that the Middle East is at peace under Biden and that the US could finally turn its attention elsewhere. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/05/16/man-who-turned-world-into-dumpster-fire-and-covered-up-bidens-senility-say-trump-sucks-at-diplomacy-n3802813
