US Africa commander highlights terror growth in Sahel and competition with China for influence
Marine Gen. Michael Langley warns Sahel region is the epicenter of global terrorism with groups expanding through West Africa
Louis Casiano, Liz Friden / Fox News
A top United States military general warned Thursday that terror groups in Africa are ramping up their ability to conduct attacks in the U.S.
Gen.
Michael Langley, the four-star Marine General who leads U.S. Africa
Command (AFRICOM), said the Sahel region of the continent is now the
"flashpoint of prolonged conflict and growing instability. It is the
epicenter of terrorism on the globe."
Several terror groups have
expanded drastically in the last three years. Al-Qaeda in the Lands of
the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, is three times the size it was in 2022, he
said, and has spread across Mali, Burkina Faso, and parts of Niger,
which the U.S. military pulled out of last year.
Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin, a faction affiliated with
Al-Qaeda, is now four times the size it was in 2022, expanding mainly in
Burkina Faso.
"We're keeping a good eye on this because they
could have the capacity to attack the homeland," Langley said in a call
with reporters. Read more and see video here.

Trump Clinches BIG Win in Tariff Duel With the Courts
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
Two courts ruled against the tariff policy enacted by President Donald
J. Trump. On Wednesday, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that
Trump’s tariff policy was unlawful, blocking a central tenet of the
president’s agenda on the economy and trade. The Liberation Day
reciprocal tariffs led to scores of nations lining up to renegotiate
their deals. We’ve already inked our new one with the United Kingdom.
D.C. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras also ruled earlier today
that the tariff policy was illegal, though he stayed his decision for 14
days to allow for the appeals process.
Yet, before the anti-Trump clown could celebrate, a federal appeals
court, the full 11-member panel, stayed the ruling from the Court of
International Trade, allowing for the tariffs to remain in place for
now—a significant win (via NY Post):
A
federal appeals court put the brakes Thursday on a lower court order
that overturned most of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs.
A
full 11-judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the federal circuit
stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade
while the White House appeal is heard. Read more, see X and video here.
Putin masses 50,000 troops on Ukraine's north front as Trump again agrees to meet Russian, Ukrainian leaders
Russia pushes second meeting in Istanbul, while Ukraine tells Moscow to pony up ceasefire terms first
Caitlin McFall / Fox News
Russian President Vladimir Putin
has amassed some 50,000 troops on Ukraine’s northern border despite a
united push by the U.S. and Ukraine to get Moscow to enter into
"meaningful" ceasefire negotiations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
on Wednesday warned that Putin is preparing a massive summer offensive
in a move to push Ukraine’s troops out of Russia’s Kursk region, and to
launch a new invasion into Ukraine’s Sumy region — a mere 200 miles from
the capital city of Kyiv.
Zelenskyy reiterated this week that he
is ready to hold direct negotiations with Putin and suggested that if
the Kremlin chief is uncomfortable with a bilateral meeting, a
trilateral meeting could be held with President Donald Trump.
Trump on Wednesday said he would meet with both world leaders "if necessary" but the Kremlin again rejected the suggestion.

Shocking Report Raises Questions About Who Was Running Biden's White House
Jeff Charles / Townhall Tipsheet
A watchdog group focused on energy policy published a report on
Wednesday, stating that there is no evidence to suggest that former
President Joe Biden was aware of several executive orders related to
energy and climate change that he allegedly issued.
"We reviewed eight major executive actions that
fundamentally reshaped American energy policy, from banning offshore
drilling to invoking emergency powers to boost solar manufacturing, and
found no evidence that President Biden ever personally spoke about any
of them. Not in a press conference. Not in a speech. Not even a video
statement."
The organization’s executive
director argued that the public should know whether Biden actually
issued the orders listed in the report or if they were enacted by
staffers using the autopen.Read more and see Xs here.
You Won’t Believe Who Marco Rubio Just Banned From Entering America
Jeff Charles / Townhall Tipsheet
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on
Wednesday that his agency will deny visas to foreign officials who have
participated in censoring Americans.
In a post on X, he slammed foreign governments that silence Americans “for exercising their free speech rights.”
"For too long, Americans have been fined,
harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising their
free speech rights.
Today, I am announcing a new visa
restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who
are complicit in censoring Americans. Free speech is essential to the
American way of life – a birthright over which foreign governments have
no authority."
And the Voter Group That Truly Delivered for Trump Was...
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
There was a deafening silence on election night in liberal America.
Donald J. Trump beat Kamala Harris, and not by a little—he creamed her.
She lost all six swing states, the popular vote, and got bulldozed in
the Electoral College. It’s why there were no tantrums about the
Electoral College that resonated. Trump won the popular vote, too, so
Democrats were stuck.
The Republican Party under Trump is for the better, becoming a
multiracial working-class coalition that is damn near unbeatable. It is
the Obama coalition in many ways. While Trump again performed well with
working-class whites, it’s the Hispanic vote that’s sharply turned away
from Democrats. Patrick Ruffini noted that Trump won this crucial bloc
of voters in 16 states—that New Jersey figure is exceptionally solid for
a blue state. It partially explains why Trump gained so many voters in
these Democratic bastions. It was a historic showing: Read more and see Xs here.

Hamas
tries to pull fast one on Trump’s Middle East envoy after latest
cease-fire proposal: ‘Disappointing and completely unacceptable’
Anthony Blair / NEW YORK POST
Hamas appears to have
tried to pull a bait-and-switch on the latest cease-fire deal by
altering the terms of the proposal that were sent to the terror group,
according to President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Hamas claimed on Monday that it had been presented with a new US
proposal that would see a 70-day ceasefire and the release of five live
hostages on the first and final days of the truce, a Hamas-tied
Palestinian official told Reuters.
The deal Hamas claimed to have received would also include a partial
withdrawal Israeli from the Gaza Strip, the official said. This supposed
deal would also include the release of hundreds of Palestinian
prisoners being held by Israel, many serving lengthy prison sentences.
But a “disappointed” Witkoff blasted Hamas, claiming that the terms
of the deal he had actually sent to Hamas were very different from their
response.
The latest Witkoff proposal includes the release of 10 living and 19
dead hostages in return for 45 to 60 days of ceasefire and the release
of Palestinian prisoners.
Trump fires off Memorial Day message targeting 'SCUM' who sought to 'DESTROY' the US
The president asserts the nation 'WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN!'
Alex Nitzberg / FOX News
President Donald Trump issued one of his signature spicy holiday greetings on Memorial Day.
The
president, who posted the all-caps tirade on Monday morning, called out
the "SCUM" who he said had attempted to destroy the nation.
"HAPPY
MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS
TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO
ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY
OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE, THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER

Deals Made...But At
What Cost
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side
Patriots, Right Side Patriots Radio
The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not
necessarily represent the views of blogspot.comor Google
"I believe there has never been a greater friend to the
Jewish people than my Administration. We will never deviate
from our conviction that anti-Semitism has no place in the greatest
country in the world. As the 47th President of the United
States, I will use every appropriate legal tool at my disposal to
stop anti-Semitic assaults gripping our universities. We will proudly
stand with our friend and ally, the State of Israel. I will
never waiver in my commitment."
- President
Donald J. Trump's statement in a May proclamation marking the
beginning of “Jewish Heritage Month,”
specifically issued before his recent trip to the Middle East.
As I write this article, we're now almost two and a half weeks out
from President Trump's triumphant return to the U.S. after his hugely
successful Middle East trip...a trip the White House called a
“historic return to the Middle East”...a trip that did
indeed open up an entirely new dialog between our country and the
leaders of allied Arab gulf nations. And to that effect, albeit very
briefly, Trump secured financial commitments and reinforced trade
agreements exceeding $2 trillion in investments from Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, and the UAE...great news for America indeed.
In fact, while Trump was in the UAE's capital of Abu Dhabi, Etihad Airways...the Emirates official carrier... announced that they would be purchasing...to a tune of $14.5 billion (which is part of the total $200 billion UAE deal)...28 wide-body aircraft from Boeing...a leading global aerospace company and a top U.S. exporter of commercial airliners...including "a mix of Boeing 787 and 777X aircraft" powered by American made GE (General Electric) engines...how great is that.
Also of note during this trip, President Trump secured the release
of Edan Alexander, the 21-year-old American-Israeli soldier, and the
last of the Americans kidnapped by Hamas on “October 7th”
to be released.A truly brave young man, Edan Alexander
was held captive for over 580 days in the dark, dank, and rodent
infested tunnels Hamas dug under Gaza, and was tortured, beaten, and
at times starved...his survival alone is testament to his will to
survive and return home.
And while on this trip...which included Trump's surprising meeting with former Syrian jihadist...who
until recently had a $10 million bounty on his head...now Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa
to talk about the possibility of lifting of sanctions on Syria...was indeed
successful on so many levels, yet some found it odd, myself included, that President Trump did not stop in Israel to
meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, especially since the
deals and partnerships Trump secured saw him advancing the very
policies that aligned closely with both Israel's and Netanyahu's
interests and priorities. And this including Trump's urging Saudi
Arabia to “normalize relations” with the Jewish State and
to sign onto the “Abraham Accords,” which I believe Saudi
Arabia will sooner rather than later do.
Why so...because as per a May 18th
report in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), “minutes” of
a high-level secret meeting held in Gaza discovered by the Israeli military...the IDF...in a tunnel
beneath the Gaza enclave... “minutes” indicating that Hamas
planned the “October 7th” attack to “thwart the
normalization process between Israel and Saudi Arabia,” out of
their fear that “normalization” would end the supposed
Palestinian cause. In fact, according to said report, Hamas' then but
now thankfully deceased, Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar stated that an
“extraordinary act” was needed to “derail” what was to be
upcoming talks between these two nations. Says a lot now doesn't
it...and I don't think Trump's and America's new friend, Saudi Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is too happy about that.
And yet when directly asked by reporters why he did not stop in
Israel before returning home... something actually viewed as a
misplaced insult by many...President Trump replied that, “This
is good for Israel. Having a relationship like I have with these
countries...I think it's very good.” So while I do understand
where our president is now coming from, and do think it's a good thing as
well, for it helps to temper down the centuries old conflicts while at the
same time allowing for much needed “give and take” dialog to take
place, I still have an underlying and quite uneasy feeling that President
Trump's not going to Israel could send a subliminal message of sorts
to Israel that maybe he, while still wholeheartedly supporting the
Jewish State, might actually be making a conscious decision not be so
publicly vocal or open in his or our doing so.
And why...I believe so as not to upset the sensibilities of the
now friendly Arab nations we are currently making business deals
with, while at the same time making it clear...especially to the
liberal, anti-Israel media...that neither he nor the U.S. will ever
put pressure on the Israeli government or on Benjamin
Netanyahu...whom Trump rightly stated was facing a “tough
situation”...to end the war in Gaza on any but Israel's terms.
So where exactly do we as a nation now stand regarding these
recent newest Middle East developments, and can we trust our new Arab
“friends” to follow through with their promises made?
First, as per a fairly recent State Department “readout,”
our great Secretary of State Marco Rubio...a staunch and unwavering
supporter of Israel... stressed the deep U.S. commitment to its
“historic relationship” with Israel and our “ironclad
U.S. support for Israeli security.” In fact, in a phone
conversation between Rubio and Netanyahu while Trump's trip was
taking place, the two men shared their mutual commitment to make sure
that,“Iran never possesses a nuclear weapon”...something
I 100% do totally agree with.
And
yet some in Israel...and might I add here in the U.S, as well...are
feeling, as per chief political analysis Amit Segal of Israeli
Channel 12 news, that “There
is an uncomfortable experience from an Israeli perspective to see Air
Force One flying over us on its way to countries, some of which are
outright hostile and others semi-hostile. If you are not at the
table, you are on the plate.” No
truer words spoken, but know that right now U.S. policy in regards to
Israel stands strong under President Trump, and will assuredly
remain so for he knows that the more Arab nations that sign onto the
“Abraham Accords”
the safer and more secure both the “Jewish State of
Israel” and the Middle East
will be.
Now as for the Israeli people's
response to the Trump “no show”
in Israel. For many Israelis there remains growing concerns that
their “might makes right”
worldview...a view once totally shared by President Trump especially
in regards to Israel's right to exist...might see Trump tempering it
down a bit, for trust in Trump's new and deepening Arab friendships
is being greeted in Israel not with unwavering support, but with
cautious optimism and hope at best. Why so...because the Israeli's
know well that not only does the Qur'an's own words promote deception and the call to
“deceive” all
nonbelievers...“taqiyya”...but they also understand why none of these rich gulf nations will either take in or give up any of their vast unused lands for a Palestinian homeland. The caste system still runs deep in theses nations as well as their knowing that those who call themselves Palestinians bring trouble wherever they go. And Trump also knows this, but for him to publicly say it would not sit well with his new found Arab friends.
So while Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. do seem, for the most part,
to be or want to be part of the modern 21st century world as they appear to no longer be clinging to what remains Islam's mostly 6th century
mentality, the question is, “Can
these folks ever be totally trusted by either President Trump or by
Israel to do the right thing no matter the monetary deals made?”
Personally
I say, “try to
trust them for now for these nation's leaders do seem, at least on
the surface, sincere in their hopes for a stable, prosperous, and
peaceful Middle East, but as always sleep with one eye opened until it's proven to no longer be needed.”
Simply,
for now hopeful optimism at best coupled with a healthy dose of
skepticism is the best way to go for the Israelis, for they have not forgotten that Qatar not only has been accused
of helping Hamas but that it's playing both sides in the peace negotiations. Also, the Israelis have not forgotten that after Houthi missiles did hit the grounds of
Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, that Trump made a deal with the Houthis to
end what was then the US-led bombing strikes targeting the Iranian “backed” group in exchange for the Houthis promise to stop attacking
ships navigating through the Red Sea toward the Suez Canal. But what
Trump left out of that particular deal was a promise that the
Houthis would stop firing rockets at
Israel...rightfully concerning for many Israeli's.
And as for certain key specifics of Trump's trip, many Israelis were
not happy when hearing of the possibility that Saudi Arabia could
soon gain access to “civil nuclear technology” without
first having to normalize relations with Israel, the very thing
President Trump had always urged Saudi Arabia to do. But when you add
in Trump's not having stopped in Israel...seen as a slap in
Netanyahu's face by many in Israel...you can actually feel many
Israelis concern that Trump has now started focusing more on
securing lucrative business deals with wealthy Gulf nations, than he is in
remaining focused on the all important and quite dangerous
geopolitical issues.
Now when you add into this mix that a number of Israeli foreign
policy experts have started talking about what is a possible
“repositioning” of our long held U.S. relationship with the Jewish State, you can
surely understand why a growing number of Israelis have started to
question not only Trump's talks with Iran and his business deals made
with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, but that ongoing
threats to Israel are not being taken seriously enough or
that they are simply, at least for now, being ignored or put on the back burner.
So while our president has
every right to put “America First”...something we here at
home should all applaud, herald, and be proud of...the fact remains that
while most Israeli's did also herald Trump’s 2024 election win...the
very win Benjamin Netanyahu himself has called “history’s
greatest comeback”...a negative shift in Trump's favorability
rating began for many Israelis soon thereafter.
And this began when Trump’s special
Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff started pressuring Netanyahu into
signing a temporary ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which Netanyahu
was not really ready to do after having found out about Witkoff's
personal business ties to Qatar, a growing number of Israelis began
to fear that Trump’s preference for “deal making” would
negate Netanyahu\s long planned military strike on Iran.
And while a
military strike could well still happen and hopefully will, most
Israelis know that the only thing that will permanently take out the
Iranian trash is simply to take out Iran and the mullahs for only
then will Israel be free to exist no matter how many business deals
Trump successfully makes with her Arab neighbors.
It's a story still in the
making that we yet have a definitive ending to, but know that while
Donald J. Trump is president that neither he nor the United States
will ever turn its back on the Jewish State of Israel...America's
closest and most trusted ally...or on the Jewish people themselves. Case closed.

Honor them everyday...for without their ultimate sacrifice
we would not be free.
Op-ed:
On Memorial Day...And Always
By: Diane Sori /The Patriots Factor /
Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not
necessarily represent the views of blogspot.comor Google
Monday is Memorial Day and while many will go to the beach or enjoy a
hearty barbecue, let’s not forget the real reason for this most special
and solemn of days…a day to remember and honor those who put their lives on
the line for our beloved country…a day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice
for a purpose they believed was greater than themselves…a purpose of
keeping "We the People" safe and free at home.
And while political battles continue in D.C. and across the nation,
Memorial Day offers us the chance for all Americans…no matter our race,
creed, color, religion, party affiliation, or whether this president is our president of
choice…to unite together and remember the one thing we
all we have in common...gratitude...gratitude for those who
served…gratitude for the
brave men and women who proudly wore but sadly died wearing our nation’s
uniform…gratitude
so that we can go to that beach and can enjoy that barbecue.
On Memorial Day there should be no hyphenated Americans (nor should there ever
be)…just Americans bowing their heads together in prayer as the flag of
these United States is raised throughout this great nation, and then
as it's solemnly lowered to half-staff. On this day let us remember the more
than one million American patriots who gave their lives in service to this
country. And when the flag is once again raised high at noon we must
also remember to not allow their sacrifice to be in vain for a nation that
forgets its true heroes is a nation that loses its soul.
Memorial Day is a day when we should teach our children the importance of
the sacrifices made by so many to ensure their freedoms and the freedoms
of generations to come.
Memorial Day is a day when many Americans will visit cemeteries or memorials
nationwide to place small flags at the base of the headstones of the
fallen to let them know they are not forgotten nor will they ever be.
Memorial Day is a day to honor the remains buried at the Tomb of the "Unknown
Soldier" for while he, brave soldier whomever he may be, is home resting
on American soil he is not with his loved ones, but serves as a
reminder of the many who never made it home, and should remind us that
there are still some left behind who must be brought home.
Memorial Day is a day when the "Pledge of Allegiance" should take on a renewed
meaning, and should reawaken in us all the realization that we do live in the
greatest nation the world has ever known, and remind us that some things are
indeed worth both fighting and dying for.
Memorial Day is a day to honor courage for while those lost in battle knew
fear, they sacrificed with courage of heart and strength of conviction,
something that must never be forgotten for without knowing fear there
can be no courage and without courage there can be no victory. Those who
gave all deemed their love of country and duty to freedom were of
greater value and more important then the fears they faced in dying.
Memorial Day is a day to also honor the very freedoms those lost in battle
gave to each and every one of us…the freedom we have in our beloved
America to act, speak, and think as we so choose without hindrance or
restraint…a freedom we intend never to lose…a freedom we will fight for
with just as much passion, dedication, determination, and courage as
those who sacrificed before us…for we will not allow their sacrifice to
be forgotten nor will we allow our freedoms to be taken away.
No…we will never allow their sacrifice to have been in vain.
Memorial Day is a day for prayers for those lost…a day for honoring their
memories not just with tearful remembrances but also with a smile…a day
to rediscover the meaning of what our military fights and dies for…our
liberty, our safety, our individual rights guaranteed us under our
Constitution, and the continuing American story of which we all play a part in.
So on this Memorial Day I will bow my head in solemn prayer and thank and remember those who
made that ultimate sacrifice to keep our nation free…and pray to God
that someday…"nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more." (Isaiah 2:4)
Someday…someday soon I pray. And may God our Father Bless America today, tomorrow, and always. Copyright @ 2025 Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / All Rights Reserved.

BREAKING NEWS: Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Assassinated in DC Tonight; UPDATE: Suspect Identified; UPDATE: Trump Responds
Trump confronts South African president with white genocide claims in surreal Oval Office meeting
Steven Nelson / NEW YORK POST
President Trump confronted South African President Cyril
Ramaphosa Wednesday with claims that the country is carrying out a
genocide of white farmers — ordering the Oval Office’s lights be dimmed
to show an inflammatory five-minute video detailing purported evidence
of crimes against humanity.
Trump, who said he personally hadn’t “made up my mind” on using the
word “genocide,” said that “thousands” of white South Africans are
seeking refugee status in the US and that he wants to “save lives.”
The footage played at the meeting showed left-wing populist leader
Julius Malema calling for the murder of members of South Africa’s 4.5
million-strong white community, which comprises about 7.3% of the
population, and a roadside memorial ostensibly for dozens of murdered
white farmers.
White House urges immediate vote on GOP's 'Big, Beautiful Bill
'Failure to pass this bill would be the ultimate betrayal,' the White House said
Elizabeth Elkind / Fox News
The White House threw its weight behind House Republicans' version of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" Wednesday, pressing lawmakers to vote on the measure "immediately."
"The
Administration strongly supports passage of H.R. 1, the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act," the White House said in a statement of Trump
administration policy obtained by Fox News Digital.
"This bill
implements critical aspects of President Trump’s budgetary agenda by
delivering bigger paychecks for Americans, driving massive economic
growth, unleashing American energy, strengthening border security and
national defense, (and) preserving key safety net programs for Americans
who need them, while ending waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal
spending, and much more."
The Cover-Up of a Cancer-Ridden, Brain-Dead President
Townhall Staff / Opinion
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.
After five years of
taking a vacation, the dishonest, Fake News media is finally admitting
the truth about Joe Biden’s declining mental and physical health. And
they aren’t telling the truth out of the goodness of their hearts or
because they’ve suddenly found their love of real journalism again.
These left-wing media lapdogs simply couldn’t hide what
anyone with eyes could see. And now, they’re trying to regain your trust
after all of their lies and profiting off of YOU.
Two
“journalists” have written a “tell all” book on Biden’s mental decline,
the cover-up by the White House (which the media were complicit in), and
his decision to continue to seek reelection despite everyone knowing he
was unfit for office.
The problem for these “journos”
is they knew about Biden’s decline. They saw what YOU saw, but told you
not to believe your lying eyes. They accused conservatives of posting
“cheap fakes,” claiming videos of Biden staring off into space, freezing
on stage at fundraisers, falling up the stairs of Air Force One,
wandering around aimlessly during international trips weren’t to be
believed.
Democrats shocked, SHOCKED that breaking the law leads to their arrest
Johnathan Turley / NEW YORK POST / Opinion
Across the country, a new defense is being heard in state and federal
courtrooms. From Democratic members of Congress to judges to city
council members, officials claim that their duties include obstructing
the official functions of the federal government.
It is a type of liberal license that excuses almost any crime in the name of combating what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called the “modern-day Gestapo” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The latest claimant of this license is Rep. LaMonica McIver
(D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law
enforcement officers during a protest at Delaney Hall ICE detention
facility in Newark, New Jersey.
McIver is shown on video forcing her way into the facility and striking and shoving agents in her path.
Elected officials joined a mob in briefly overwhelming security and
breaching the fence barrier after a bus was allowed through the
entrance. Federal officials were able to quickly force back the
incursion.

The Final Frontier vs. Budget Cuts
By: Diane Sori /The Patriot Factor /
Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not
necessarily represent the views of blogspot.comor Google
...But the bottom line, in my opinion, is
that when budget decisions regarding allocations and funding are
being considered for certain highly specialized government
agencies...with NASA being such an agency...NASA alone should be
making their own budget decisions not pencil-pushing bureaucrats,
politicians, or even our president. Why so...because few folks truly
understand the
science, logistics, and intricacies involved in NASA's past and future
successes.
And know that NASA is more than
just rockets and spacesuits for NASA not only helps to generate
economic growth and its corresponding benefits, but NASA's space
missions...whether they be robotic or manned missions...helps us to
advance the collective of our scientific knowledge...knowledge needed to help make both the dream of Moon and Mars
colonization not just a someday possibility, but a not so distant
reality. And when you add in all the practical applications NASA's
space technology has here on Earth you might find yourself agreeing
with my belief that NASA's budget needs to be expanded not be cut

Trump Finished a Call With Putin and There’s Big News
Katie Pavlich / Townhall Tipsheet
President Donald Trump held a call with Russian
President Vladimir Putin Monday morning in an effort to bring his war
against Ukraine to an end.
Trump detailed the phone call, which lasted for two hours, on Truth Social.
"Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of
Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately
start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to
the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two
parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation
that nobody else would be aware of," Trump said. "The tone and spirit of
the conversation were excellent. If it wasn’t, I would say so now,
rather than later. Russia wants to do largescale TRADE with the United
States when this catastrophic 'bloodbath' is over, and I agree." See X and video here.
