[Commentary Donald J. Trump Truth Social Posts On X @TrumpTruthOnX]

Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France. She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!). She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other “so-called” NATO Allies. Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!!! President DJT

Maybe the worst fallout of the Iran debacle is how little we now talk about America and Americans.

As our own people can’t find good work and can’t afford things, 99% of the conversation is now focused on the other side of the world.

Shameful.

Joe Rogan just revealed that presidents and former presidents personally pressured Spotify to have him removed for "vaccine misinformation."

And not one of them apologized when his questions turned out to be right.

He says he still can't talk about most of it. What he will say is that the campaign was coordinated, expensive, and came from the very top.

ROGAN: "They tried to crush my sponsors. They organized campaigns. There was PACs involved."

ROGAN: "I can't even talk about it. But there was presidents involved and former presidents involved that were contacting Spotify. Trying to get me removed for vaccine misinformation."

ROGAN: "And it turned out to be right. All of it."

ROGAN: "Not a single apology from anybody. Not a single retraction, not a single mea culpa, not a single 'we were wrong.'"

The pressure failed. Joe's audience grew. And the people who tried to silence him never had to answer for any of it...

Not sure people understand the CATASTROPHIC consequences of the global oil reserves running dry. I think if more people grasped the fallout from that, they’d understand Trump’s desperation to take a bad deal.

The mistake wasn’t ending it. The mistake was going to begin with.

💥NEW: @glennbeck gets emotional recounting conversation with TRUMP around one year after 2020 election🇺🇸

“He was a different man.”

“He said, ‘You know what I can’t live with? Look at what they’ve done.’ He said, ‘Glenn, I almost had this thing fixed.’ He said, ‘We were well on the way. Look at where we were with the economy — and look what they have done.’”

“What bothered him was: ‘I made a promise.’”

“I’ve never heard a president say anything like this.”

“‘I made a promise to all of those people that are out working every single day — and I had it! We were on the path! We were getting it — and they’ve destroyed it! And I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to get it back to that. I’ve let them down. My mistakes let them down.”

“You don’t hear that Donald Trump anywhere. And that’s who he is.”

June’s top skywatching event is underway: a beautiful alignment of the crescent Moon with three bright planets, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury, visible in the western sky shortly after sunset in the nights leading up to the summer solstice on June 20.

Venus shines as the brilliant “Evening Star,” making it the easiest to spot. Jupiter appears nearby, while Mercury, lower in the twilight, is the most challenging to see. The thin crescent Moon will glide through the lineup from night to night, changing its position relative to the planets.

The best time to view is about one hour after sunset, with a clear view of the western horizon. Because the alignment lasts several evenings, you have multiple chances to catch it if clouds interfere.

Though the objects appear close together, they are actually separated by vast distances, this striking celestial display is simply a beautiful trick of perspective from Earth.

NAILED IT: Vice President JD Vance on ONLY 29% of Democrats being “Extremely” or “Very” Proud to be American: “It doesn’t bother me when Congressional Democrats disagree with our policies. It bothers me that like they are just terrible people, so many of them. But what really does bother me is that they don't show gratitude for the United States of America.”

“If you don't feel grateful to live here and the people that made it possible, then what are you even doing being in public service? Too many Democrats don't show appreciation for the country.”
