Spain, a NATO ally defended by the U.S. and host to a major U.S. Navy base, has now denied access to U.S. Merchant Marine ships not once, not twice, but THREE times for “ideological reasons”

Maybe it’s time to ask what exactly allies are for.

Should we issue work visas to foreign journalists who publish false disparaging claims about American soldiers?

We have more than enough anti-American military journalists here already. There is zero reason for us to import more from India and the UK 👇

@johnkonrad Deport him.

Meet The Economist’s new DC Bureau Chief.

Why did the State Department issue him a work visa AFTER he published all this?? 👇👇

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

Nations are not economic zones.

That matters, because from a pure GDP standpoint the ideal citizen is someone who gets cancer, gets divorced, crashes the car, and hires a small army of professionals before dying.

Nobody contributed more to UK GDP this week than Henry Nowak’s killer.

Think about that.

Police response. Medical response. Detectives. Public affairs officers. Dozens of lawyers. Prison for life. All of it staggeringly expensive. Vickrum Digwa has already made up the entire lifetime GDP contribution of the man he killed. Probably a hundred times over.

Migration isn’t just about votes.

Consider yourself. A patriot who lives a simple life.

You are not a burden on society, so you contribute little to GDP.

You eat well and work out, so your medical footprint is small.

Your wife cooks at home and you read or watch TV, so you barely touch restaurants and nightlife.

You camp in state parks or take the boat out fishing, so the travel industry sees none of your money.

You’re happily married, so no dating apps, no Tinder, no Grindr, no OnlyFans.

You save what’s left, which means you aren’t spending it. Your money sits in an unleveraged fund, so you do little to inflate the stock market.

You don’t drink or gamble.

You don’t screw up at work and force the company to hire more people to fix your mistakes.

You went to trade school instead of college, so you starved the education industrial complex.

You use your car and the airports, so there’s no case for a hundred-billion-dollar high speed rail line on your behalf.

You’re anti-war, so you never call for the stockpiles to be drawn down and rebuilt.

You give through your church, so almost none of it leaks into the NGO machine.

You never defraud or hack anyone, so no one needs new compliance officers or cybersecurity contracts to stop you.

You have never once hired an immigration, prenup, personal injury, divorce, or estate lawyer.

You are not a journalist or a Hollywood entertainer enticing others into making bad decisions.

You have never been to prison.

You drive carefully, maintain your car and your house, own a fire extinguisher, and never dial 911.

You vote against profligate spenders.

You’re not an environmentalist who calls for the end of nuclear power (so we burn more oil) or anti-oil (so we build solar panels) or want to save the tree toad which require million dollar environmental impact statements.

You have few complexities and take the standard deduction so CPAs get nothing from you.

And most damning of all: you have no debt.

That last one matters more than people realize. Most assume the government is the only entity that can create money.

Not true. All Debt creates new money.

Government debt, yes, but every dollar of debt you take on is also new money injected into the economy. Money that can be taxed. Money the wealthy can leverage and compound.

This is why they prefer migrants over you.

This is why they attack family values.

Your pastor told you that becoming an electrician, a plumber, a nurse, a firefighter, a teacher would contribute to society. He told you to live a simple life. To love and protect your family and your neighbors. He told you not to gamble or drink or have affairs.

Don’t you see why they hate the church?

Why they hate you?

In their eyes you are wasted space.

You may contribute enormously on the human scale, the only scale that has ever actually mattered, you may contribute non economic values like love, honor and duty. You might contribute locally on a micro-economic scale.

But in the big picture you are an economic loss. Because you contribute almost nothing to GDP.

You contribute far far leas than a criminal migrant with a mental disorder, gambling addiction and cancer.

You are a great American in the eyes of your church.

But on an economic GDP scale you are the very worst type of American.

OMG check out caption that this person's team posted this video to YouTube under.

"Rubio refuses..." 🤣

She didn't give him any time to speak and then ran out the door before he could answer. She wanted a sound bite for a social media video and that's what she got.

@C__Herridge @SecScottBessent @SenRonWyden @theblaze Adam Wyden, through his ADW Partners hedge fund, held $300M in RCI Hospitality (aka Rick's Cabarets) stock as of late 2025. Rick's is a national chain of strip clubs, not like Hooters, real strip clubs.

I wonder what you would find if you looked closely at Rick's.

[Catherine Herridge @C__Herridge]

DIG DEEPER: After the clash between @SecScottBessent + @SenRonWyden I ran "Adam Wyden" through the DOJ Epstein Files portal:

29 hits including this April 2016 "thank you email" via Epstein’s assistant

We've all seen how 60 Minutes interviews Trump. They go to war with him on every statement.

Scott Pelley has interviewed Biden numerous times. They are always softball interviews but his 2022 interview with Biden was particularly pathetic. Inflation was just off of a 40 year high. Pelley did ask him one question it about inflation in the beginning and then moved on to the fun stuff.

No questions about the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan the year before. No questions about the fact that the border was wide open and had been for two years.

Here's some clips from that pathetic interview.

1/7: Biden claims to have reduced the debt. No correction or follow-up from Pelley.

Never underestimate how far the GOP will go to turn their backs on the American people and hang them out to dry.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yup

[Wade Miller @WadeMiller]

The “fascist right” is actually just fake and funded by the left so they have a boogeyman to attack. Almost unbelievable.

[Wade Miller @WadeMiller]

Deport Harry Litman.

[Jeff Clark @JeffClarkUS]

+1 Fresh off threatening DOJ lawyers to resist Trump or be chased to the ends of the earth and find themselves disbarred, Harry Litman is now warning new lawyers who are needed to fill DOJ vacancies -- vacancies he and his ilk are the ones creating using terror tactics -- that they should turn down offers to join DOJ, or their careers will be "tarred."

Instead, if they help Trump, they will not be able to get high-paying legal work when they leave DOJ.

Watch as he claims it's a black mark on your record, if you agree to work for @DAGToddBlanche. (Only working for Merrick Garland or Eric Holder can advance your career in BigLaw.)

Summary: Communist legal pressure groups are trying to create their own vicious cycle to destroy DOJ and undermine the presidency. If they can't run the place as a Democrat majority operation, then the place must be destroyed. That's their evil attitude.

I illustrate the negative cycle they are trying to create below. And note, they gin up these acts of destruction all while claiming that they really love the institution of DOJ. No, what they love is their own power. Nothing else matters.

No one can disagree with them about permissible options under the law or they will destroy the professional reputations and livelihoods of those who would stand in their way.

It is not an exaggeration to call these Bolshevik/Alinskyite tactics.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

🧵 THREAD: Shashank Joshi, a foreign think tank careerist, has a 16-year record of attacking US foreign policy... and now he's lecturing our military leadership on how to take the oath. Why does he still have a work visa?

He's an Indian national who arrived in April and is already the loudest critic of the Pentagon on social media.

The Economist's new Washington Bureau Chief — an Indian national on a visa who just arrived in April — went on a Canadian national security podcast literally titled "The Problem of America" and said this about US military operations:

"They have attacked scores of small boats in the Pacific and the Caribbean. They've killed dozens of people in a campaign that is, by most accounts, quite illegal and contrary to international law."

That's Shashank Joshi, @shashj . Defence editor turned bureau chief. Two months in the country and he's already built a 16-year paper trail calling American power "malevolent," "predatory," and "quite illegal" — while sitting on the advisory board of a UK think tank funded by the European Commission, BAE Systems, and the US State Department.

And he's now lecturing our military leadership on what it means to take the oath.

I have the receipts.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Funny how the same people saying Spencer Pratt shouldn’t be mayor because he has no political experience were the ones pushing for Mamdani to be mayor of NYC despite never even having a job before.

We see you.
