I was responding to a text earlier today. A good friend sent me this:
"High gas prices, high interest rates, inflation, quagmire in Iran. What did anyone expect was going to happen?
I’m not saying it’s right, I’m saying I’m not surprised. A lot of Trump dissatisfaction."
My Response:
Apparently Americans have abandoned logic. You see, when I get pissed off at a party that I fought to get into power only to have them NOT follow through on their promises, you know what I do? I try to kick the bastards out of power in the primaries.
What I DON'T do is hand the country back to the previous jackasses who:
1) Gave us higher gas prices than we have now
2) Gave us higher interest rates than we have now
3) Gave us higher inflation than we have now
4) Gave us the quagmire of Ukraine/Russia
5) Gave us the massacre in the Gaza Strip
6) Gave us open borders and 35+ million illegal, unvetted aliens/terrorists walking across our border
7) Drained our strategic oil reserve
8) Gave us DEI
9) Gave us lawfare like we've never seen in this country before
10) Gave us a flood of judges that won't follow the law 11 Gave Iran BILLIONS of dollars in cash so they could develop a nuclear bomb which was the entire REASON we are fighting in effing Iran right now
12) Gave us a shadow government behind a president who was nothing more than a dementia patient
13) Nominated for the Senate an America-hating Antisemitic, racist, Jihadist who supports and is supported by terrorists To name just a few.
Pardon my French, but if that is an example of the best f*cking logic this country can muster than we deserve the total destruction that we are now facing in the hands of people who HATE capitalism and HATE America.
What a total cluster frack. But here we are...

No one wants more expensive “green steel” or net-zero nickel.
Carney’s net-zero agenda will gut Canada’s manufacturing base ... the same path that hammered German industry.
Trump is rebuilding America’s manufacturing. That’s what a leader does.
Canada needs new leadership 🍎

✅ TODAY: Mesabi Metallics – New Iowa plant, $15B investment, 1,750 new jobs, 5,000 construction jobs, $92B economic impact in 10 years.
✅ Hyundai Steel – New Louisiana plant, $6B investment, 1,300 new jobs.
✅ Nippon Steel – Acquires US Steel, $14M investment to expand facilities.

❌ TODAY: Stelco – Indefinite shutdown, 350 jobs lost. "Survival mode"
❌ Algoma – 40% work force cut, 1,000 jobs lost. Losing over a million dollars a day despite billions in government support. "Dire"

🚨 ANOTHER MESSAGE JUST REACHED ME FROM INSIDE IRAN: TRUMP, MEET PAHLAVI.
"I am sending you this message from Iran."
That is her first sentence, in Persian. She says the rest in English, so that nobody has to translate it for her: Trump, meet Pahlavi.
People inside Iran send these to me directly, at their own risk, because they have no other way to be heard outside the country. She is asking the President of the United States to sit down with Prince Reza Pahlavi.
One meeting. Nothing else would damage the Islamic Republic more, and nothing matters more right now.
If you want Trump to hear it, say it with her. Repost this and use the words.
And if you are inside Iran, send me yours: t.me/TheArminNavabi

"Dismantling capitalism" is full on Marxism.
NEW: In a 2020 Zoom forum with climate activists, James Talarico spoke of “dismantling” capitalism, grouping it with White supremacy and climate change.
In the same forum, he compared Texas’ oil industry to “cassette tapes,” saying it's "not gonna last.”

I have a new respect for Kim Strassel of WSJ after reading this article from her revealing how the fake news covers the left's lawfare dishonestly, to make anything Trump and conservatives look bad and losing and anything the left does look legitimate and winning. "The state of legal reporting has reached peak national embarrassment."
---
The Media's Lawfare Enabling
The Supreme Court last week allowed Donald Trump’s ballroom construction to proceed, eliciting shock from the press corps. The court on Monday allowed the president’s mail-in voting order to continue, eliciting the same shock. This follows the shock after Trump administration wins on immigration enforcement, personnel firings, DEI and transgender orders, and dozens of other issues.
How long is the public meant to treat the press’s pearl-clutching as genuine, rather than part of a campaign to undermine the administration and the credibility of the high court?
The state of legal reporting has reached peak national embarrassment, a master class in fiction that rivals the reporting about Russia “collusion” and Joe Biden’s undiminished capacity. The media’s contribution to lawfare began in the earliest days of the first Trump term and has become only more brazen. The swings and misses are there for all to see, every day. Yet the formula is now so routine that nobody pushes back.
It works like this: The administration takes an action that offends liberal sensibilities. Interest groups rush to litigate, sometimes with prepackaged lawsuits. The press quotes liberal law professors and the litigators themselves as to why the suits are worthy. A liberal judge issues an injunction, which is treated as further proof of a lawsuit’s merit. The stories omit any critical analysis of standing, jurisdiction, merits or precedent. When a higher court corrects the legal overreach, the media, rather than acknowledge it got it wrong, insists the judges are in the tank for Mr. Trump.
Consider that ballroom case. When the National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit last December to halt the project, the press corps pushed the litigation as a slam dunk. The stories all led with a quote from the suit, presenting as fact that “no president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever.” The pieces cataloged the laws the administration had supposedly violated, and the claim that any building required the “express authority of Congress.” Critics hailed the early August ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to halt the project as evidence of the trust’s legal firepower.
Chief Justice John Roberts’s order last Friday staying that injunction wasn’t accompanied by an opinion and isn’t a ruling on the merits. But any reporter with a half-sharp pencil might have reported the potentially fatal problems with this suit. These were nimbly outlined by Judge Neomi Rao, who dissented from the D.C. Circuit’s injunction.
She argues the trust has no standing to bring the suit: It wasn’t chartered to look after the White House, and its one member who occasionally walks past the complex and expects to dislike the new structure, can hardly claim a concrete “injury.” Judge Rao also makes a persuasive case on the merits, noting that the trust’s ultra vires claim (that the administration is acting in obvious excess of its powers) is “essentially a Hail Mary pass,” since at least one federal law authorizes the president to use funds for the “care, maintenance, repair, alteration” and “improvement” of the executive residence.
The courts will decide the merits. But it’s ludicrous that the country’s ace legal reporters never provided the public even an inkling of these legal defects. It’s much more fun, as numerous stories about last week’s order did, to suggest slyly that the chief justice is doing a personal favor for the president.
This is the cynical game—jerryrigged reporting to give life to lawfare and to set false expectations, the better to smear legal grown-ups. How unrelentingly were we told Mr. Trump’s 2017 “travel ban” would never stand? That there was no such thing as presidential immunity? That of course a president can’t fire independent-agency heads? That the administration’s firings, and DEI rules, and immigration actions all offended the law?
How do we know this misreporting is intentional? The press corps is quite capable of providing good analysis about cases the president is actually poised to lose, as with his emergency tariffs and his executive order on birthright citizenship. It would be easy to call any right-leaning lawyer to get a read on a liberal suit’s flaws. It doesn’t happen.
Don’t expect it to end, since the tactic continues to work for the left. The lawsuits—and the cheering coverage—keep the Democratic base motivated. The flood of litigation—and the hyped coverage—maintains the narrative that the president is daily exceeding legal boundaries. And the purposeful presentation of Supreme Court rulings as political or partisan—rather than straightforward legal correctives—gives ammunition to elected Democrats making the argument that they are justified in blowing up the judiciary to achieve partisan objectives.
The real scandal is the press’s role. No one is surprised to see elected officials or political partisans engaged in partisan tactics, which now includes lawfare. But this particular ruse doesn’t work without the media’s cooperation—its willingness to suspend disbelief, omit key facts, and pretend higher courts are acting out of bounds. It’s doing terrible damage. Where are the professional media critics when you need them?

Larry Summers warned Biden directly... listen to the progressives and sign their insane $2 trillion stimulus, and you will unleash the worst inflation in 40 years.
Summers was right. The progressives and their credentialed “experts” at America’s top universities were catastrophically wrong.
Their arrogance permanently raised the cost of living by $14,300 per household, per year. Americans will pay for their failure for decades.
NYT: "Princeton, Harvard, Berkeley, the University of Chicago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Ohio State University — and many academics do share Mr. Summers’s concerns. A sizable minority said they worry that inflation will rocket higher. And about half of respondents who work in macroeconomics agreed that the latest stimulus package was “significantly” too large.
That’s the view inside the academy. The message from economists currently in power is different. Top Fed officials have said that sustained high inflation is not likely, and that they expect temporary data quirks and bottlenecks will fade."
1 month after this article was published inflation doubled and continue surging for 2 1/2 years… as predicted… the worst inflation in 40 years.
“Summers, the Treasury secretary under former President Clinton, wrote in The Washington Post that the proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus could ignite inflationary pressures “of a kind we have not seen in a generation.”
He said the risk of inflation could have “consequences for the dollar and financial stability.”
“Stimulus measures of the magnitude contemplated are steps into the unknown,” Summers wrote.
Summers’s remarks are notable because Biden has received almost no pushback from Democrats in pursuit of his legislation. Some progressives have griped about Biden not going big enough, but Democrats are largely united behind the bill.
Biden met with Republican senators this week pushing a scaled back $618 billion bill, but the administration and Senate Democrats have given every sign that they’re prepared to pass the $1.9 trillion stimulus without GOP support, if necessary.
The Summers op-ed is likely to be seized upon by conservatives who argue Biden and Democrats are preparing to spend too much”

Here’s my new @townhallcom column on the Mediocre White North!
“Just what the hell are the Canadians thinking? Do they think that if they cry enough, America’s going to roll over? We’re now in another trade war with them, and the Canadians are whining, and the Democrats — who never side with America — are whining right along with them. It’s about time to be done with the country that is touted as America’s best buddy but is actually tied for its most annoying next-door neighbor. They cry that America is being mean because it’s looking out for its own interests. How dare America expect Canada to pull its weight on its own defense? How dare America not want to perpetuate unfair and unbalanced tariff and trade rules in perpetuity? And how dare America not recognize the moral superiority of a country that, if it were a stereotype, would be a fugly, sexually dysfunctional wine woman with a “Hate Has No Home Here” sign on the front lawn of the condo it shares with five cats, all named after characters in "Twilight."”

The Democrats hate Trump. Their RINO friends hate Trump. The media hates Trump. There’s no denying that. All their hatred is spewed to their base and they hate Trump.
The one thing you never hear is why? Why all the hatred? Is it because he delivers on all his promises? Is it because he fights for the people and our country? Is it because he brought our military back to being the most respected in the world? Is it because he brought world leaders and businesses from across the globe and got them to invest trillions into our country? So then why the hate?
A better question is what have the Dems done? What have they done to make your lives better? What have they done to make you feel safer? What have they done to make this world a better place? What promises have they kept? What did they do to make your groceries cheaper? Last I looked we had record inflation under the Biden and the Dems. How about this one. What was their agenda?
How can they stand there for over a year now and tell you how bad Trump is when in fact they haven’t done a fucking thing for the American people and our country? Every day, every media outlet, every Democrat politician, every RINO start every sentence with Trump. They live, sleep, eat and dream of Trump.
None of them understand how an outsider came in and made this entire politics thing look so easy. None of them ever seen a leader make promises and actually deliver. He is making all their professional politicians look like uneducated children. They only wish they ever had a leader with his backbone. They want their own Trump. Look how desperate Newsom is trying to become Trump
Let’s take a look at the people who hate Trump and want you to hate Trump. Let’s look at what they accomplished and why any American would want to support them.
We remember day one Biden. He undid everything Trump and what happened next? Our borders were opened wide by that onion headed prick Mayorkas. The entire world was allowed to waltz into our country unvetted. Gangs, terrorists, murderers, rapists, drug cartels allowed to come in and live off our government. They were rewarded with, housing, food, clothing, free medical and money to live on while millions of our own Americans are homeless.
If that wasn’t enough, they did away with law and order. No one gets in trouble under Dem leadership unless of course you are white or black American. As for our military? The weakest in our existence. Our military built on discipline, respect and heart turned into frolicking grounds. The military under them turned into men wearing dresses, DEI, and Woke. A look so weak to the world it allowed Russia to invade Ukraine a war that even Putin said would have never happened under Trump. China was ready to take Taiwan, ready to take their place as the new number one world power. Iran was rolling in money and funding terrorists throughout the Middle East. Oct 7th would’ve never happened if Trump was President
This isn’t an opinion. These are the facts. This is what was happening in the real world. America was getting weaker, the citizens were getting poorer, our education system became a breeding ground for brainwashing our kids against America. What they did was mentally destroy our future. That was the plan, to get our kids under their control
They even went as far as not allowing parents to make decisions for their own kids. We watched them open our borders, we watched them try and take over our kids. These are indisputable facts. We watched them rig our courts with woke DEI liberal judges. We watched them try and defund the police. We watched them strip all law enforcement from their powers. Imagine this country without law enforcement?
We have two choices. Go back to the Dems way, or get behind the man fighting for us and our country. There is only one choice. The time is now to really open your eyes and stand tall with the man who lives our America. It is time to stand with Trump. We fight till the end. My two cents

The Northern Syndicate: Inside the Covert Democrat Operation to Weaponize Canada Against America
The globalist establishment in Washington has established a subversive forward operating base in Ottawa, coordinating directly with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to sabotage the Trump administration from foreign soil. In mid-July, Carney quietly installed veteran Democrat operative Maia Johnson into a newly manufactured role as Chief Operating Officer of the Prime Minister’s Office, functioning as the direct Canadian equivalent of the White House Chief of Staff and marking the first time anyone has held such a title in their government.
Johnson concurrently holds the position of Senior Special Advisor for United States Stakeholder Strategy, a post handed to her in February of this year. Tellingly, Ottawa completely omitted any official announcement of her hiring on the Prime Minister’s official website. This covert appointment poses a glaring national security vulnerability: because Johnson is an American citizen, she is legally forbidden from receiving a Top Secret security clearance, leaving the public to wonder what classified materials and high-level intelligence she handles daily as Carney’s top deputy.
Johnson's entire career demonstrates deep loyalty to the Democrat machinery. She served as Director of Scheduling for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign before moving to Michael Bloomberg’s now-defunct political consulting outfit, Hawkfish, where she delivered strategic consulting services to the Biden campaign between August and December of 2020. She subsequently transitioned into a role at Bloomberg LP, and while Federal Election Commission records show no direct expenditures indicating formal employment with the 2024 Biden-Harris campaign, she actively financed the operation through ActBlue contributions.
These ties to Bloomberg created the direct pipeline to Carney. As the United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance starting in 2019, following his tenures governing both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, Carney dedicated himself to developing tools, guidance, and products for investors that will combine positive social and environmental outcomes with strong risk-adjusted returns, according to a biography from the World Bank. When Carney co-chaired the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), founded in 2021 with Bloomberg as co-chair and current chairman, Johnson supplied Carney with direct research and organizational support.
Once Johnson embedded herself inside the Canadian government to direct United States stakeholder strategy and bilateral relations, Carney and the Liberal Party dramatically escalated their hospitality toward high-ranking American leftists. Alex Soros visited Canada twice this year alone, while Barack Obama delivered a keynote address at the Canada 2020 gala in Toronto, highlighting Carney's success in bringing them north to strategize against President Trump. This corrupt ecosystem relies heavily on Gerald Butts, the former political adviser and strategist to Justin Trudeau and the well-known architect of the Liberal Party’s net-zero climate agenda, making him a natural ally of Carney.
Butts presently works alongside Carney’s wife, Diana Fox Carney, at Eurasia Group, where both hold titles of senior advisor. Public records confirm that Eurasia Group received multiple consulting contracts from the Canadian government between 2011 and 2024. Both Carney and Butts maintain significant ties to John Podesta, the longtime Democrat powerbroker who served as Bill Clinton’s White House Chief of Staff, chaired Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, and later held multiple climate-related roles in the Biden administration.
The institutional incest between Canadian Liberals and American Democrats spans over a decade. Hillary Clinton was a featured speaker at a Canada 2020 conference in 2014 that doubled as a fundraiser for the Liberal Party of Canada, followed in 2017 by another Canada 2020 conference that doubled as a fundraiser for Trudeau and featured Obama. In 2025, former Stephen Harper speechwriter Matt Taube told the New York Post that Podesta and Butts clearly know each other, but Carney’s campaign has been very careful not to tie him to anyone too specifically. Podesta reportedly helped facilitate a private meeting uniting Carney, Obama, and Soros during Obama’s May 2026 speech in Toronto. Several weeks later, another private gathering took place in Nova Scotia, featuring federal Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, Soros, his wife Huma Abedin, who remains a longtime Hillary Clinton loyalist, and Frank McKenna, who currently serves as deputy chair of TD Bank Group and chair of Brookfield Asset Management.
These intertwined relationships factor heavily into the current collapse of Canadian-American relations. On July 1, United States Trade Representative Jameson Greer issued formal notice that America did not agree to renew the USMCA in its current form, kicking off a review period for each country involved to address the agreement’s shortcomings. After a month of talks failed to produce a deal, Carney announced that his country is now at war with the United States after suspending negotiations with Greer, asserting in a report from Breitbart News that Canada cannot accept what was offered and will not give what was asked. In Greer’s account of the negotiations, it was the Canadians who scuttled the deal with new demands and walk backs of other commitments in the final hours.
President Trump struck back on Monday by announcing a 50 percent tariff on all trucks, cars, and steel from Canada in response to Canadian duties on American agricultural products. On Truth Social, Trump exposed the reality: Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years. Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Trump made it clear that this arrangement is not sustainable and will no longer be tolerated, adding that while Ottawa feels entitled, America does not need Canada, but Canada needs America, since they do 95 percent of their business with the United States while the opposite is true for the American economy.
The Canadian government’s calculated obstruction carries massive implications for the November midterms. At minimum, the Prime Minister’s Office must be forced to become fully forthcoming regarding Johnson’s actual role, her security clearances, and every covert meeting Carney takes with prominent Democrats in their brazen attempts to weaken President Trump’s negotiating leverage and subvert the American government.

Mark Carney is a walking advertisement for the failures of globalist credentialism, a man so catastrophically out of his depth that he makes Emmanuel Macron look like a strategic genius by comparison.
At least Macron understands that when you grovel before power, you do it with some theatrical flair; Carney stumbles into negotiations with all the grace of a drunk economist at a knife fight, waving around climate reports while Trump calculates how much of Canada he can dismantle before lunch. This is a man who spent his career at Goldman Sachs and central banks, surrounded by spreadsheets and Davos cocktail parties, and somehow emerged believing that the real world operates on PowerPoint presentations and carbon pricing schemes. He is a child playing chess against a grandmaster, moving his pieces according to textbook openings while his opponent simply flips the board and takes the pieces he wants.
Carney's stupidity is not merely intellectual; it is a profound failure of instinct, a complete inability to read the room that would embarrass a first-year sales associate. Trump is the easiest leader in modern history to negotiate with if you understand one simple rule: he respects strength and despises weakness. Carney approached him with the posture of a scolded schoolboy, offering concessions before demands were made, apologizing for Canadian success while Trump sized up which industries to carve off next. He threatened to cut off electricity like a petulant child taking his ball home, a bluff so transparent that Trump laughed it off within hours and doubled down on tariffs. He spoke of "standing firm" while the Canadian dollar cratered and workers faced layoffs, a performance so unconvincing that even his own party must wince behind closed doors.
The comparison to Macron is instructive and devastating. Macron, for all his flaws, understands that diplomacy is theater, that you flatter before you fight, that you never show your cards until the final hand. Carney reveals his hand in the opening bid, then wonders why he has nothing left to play. Macron has survived multiple crises, multiple elections, multiple street protests; Carney cannot survive a single trade negotiation without national humiliation. Macron would have found something Trump wanted and traded for it; Carney offered things Trump did not even ask for and received nothing in return. The gap in competence is so vast it suggests different species rather than different leaders.
Carney's economic illiteracy is equally breathtaking. He threatens to cut off energy exports to American states while his own government has spent years dismantling the energy sector that would make such a threat credible. He speaks of "diversifying trade" while simultaneously attacking the resource extraction that provides leverage. He promises "green jobs" while real jobs evaporate, "resilience" while the industrial base crumbles, "virtue" while the nation suffers. He is a man who would rather see Canadians poor and ideologically pure than prosperous and independent, a preference so perverse it borders on sadism.
His personal arrogance compounds his failures. He carries himself with the smug certainty of a man who has never been punched in the face, who has spent his life in rooms where everyone agrees with him, who mistakes academic credentials for wisdom. He speaks in the clipped, condescending tones of a professor lecturing undergraduates, unaware that his audience includes a president who built a real estate empire and survived impeachments, a man who smells weakness like a shark smells blood. Carney's voice, his posture, his entire affect screams "manageable," "predictable," "defeatable," and Trump has responded accordingly.
The result is national catastrophe. Canada faces 25% tariffs on its most vital exports because Carney could not comprehend that bluffs require credibility, that threats require leverage, that negotiation requires something to offer. He has made Canada a cautionary tale, a warning to other nations about what happens when you allow globalist technocrats to manage sovereign interests. He should resign in disgrace, retire to his boardrooms and his climate conferences, and never again pretend to represent the Canadian people. He is a failure, a fool, and a warning: intelligence without wisdom, credentials without competence, and arrogance without achievement are a recipe for national humiliation.

Defenders of the JCPOA never address the glaring structural flaws in the deal. Here they are, stripped down:
1) It treated the nuclear issue like it was completely separate from Iran’s ballistic missiles, drones, and proxy network. The deal only touched enrichment and inspections. It left Iran’s missile and drone programs untouched and removed sanctions that could have pressured them on these threats.
2) It had a built-in expiration date. Key limits sunsetted. It all but accepted Iran becoming a nuclear weapons state in 2031.
3) It gave Iran many tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars upfront and took away sanctions as a tool against their missile and drone buildup. Sanctions were lifted immediately. The cash that poured in directly funded their missile and drone development while making it much harder to reimpose pressure later.
4) It normalized the regime without requiring it to change behavior. The bet was that more trade would moderate Iran. Instead, Iran used the cash to strengthen the regime and expand its influence.
5) It destroyed deterrence. It taught Iran that escalation gets rewarded with capitulation.
Bottom line: The JCPOA wasn’t serious arms control. It was a very stupid bet that the Iranian regime would become more moderate if we drowned it in cash. That gamble failed, and the whole deal fell apart with it.

Anybody who thinks these guys "didn't have a plan" are smoking crack. Bessent also had everything in place to capture maritime insurance from the City of London: everything was ready to go.
They haven't missed a trick. Watch and learn.
WAR: Bessent authorized the sale of 140 million barrels of Iranian oil worth up to $15 billion. Gas prices drop globally. Iran gets nothing. The funds are frozen until a new Iranian government exists. This is what winning looks like.
ALT Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a waiver authorizing the sale of 140 million barrels of stranded Iranian oil worth $14-15 billion, a move designed to flood global markets & drive down gas prices. Iran cannot touch a single dollar. US-controlled financial restrictions lock the funds in escrow for the next Iranian government.
