Halting Ukraine aid sends a signal of US unreliability, and will prompt key allies, most importantly Germany, to re-arm.
Stephen Miller ordering ICE to sweep Home Depot in downtown LA resulting in protests and Trump calling out National Guard goes back to the fact that his wife is sleeping with an immigrant.

Trump implies it's them vs. us. It's a lie.Don't buy it. Stay calm.

Really, when you see this stuff in LA, just six months after being elected, and it was predicted that this would happen, just shows you how useless the democratic messaging was. Let's hope Newsom, Walz and co. step up up as they are going to be needed now.

Inappropriate use of the national guard in LA. It's simply no checks on Stephen Miller.

No matter who sits in the Oval office in 2029, the scepticism of USA will not easily disappear. After all it took less than 4 months to tick Canadians off, so can imagine how it will be after 4 years.

Looks like the paperwork to make Canada the 51st state will have to be put back in the cupboard.

It will come to the stage that the courts will have to appoint persons, who will act to carry out court orders.

George Orwell would view this particular state of affairs in year 2025 in USA, in which children as young as age 4 find themselves in court without a legal representative in deportation proceedings, as too unbelievable for his seminal work, 1984.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia home to his family and 3 kids should be the easiest thing in the world. But when language is twisted to make a father a 'threat' and someone who looks different a "terrorist", then each one returned home is a sign of government weakness and failing narrative.

The tariffs playbook is America First: put a squeeze on trade partners to force production to the US. Their chaos has instead sparked a serious firefight with China with no clear winner, which will hit Trump’s base financially. Tbh. His current team is not really not up to job.
