The fundamental political divide of today is whether the American government should prioritize the safety, prosperity, culture, and way of life of its own citizens — including their ability to afford the American Dream — or should it treat the needs of people from anywhere in the world as equally important?
As President Trump stated in his State of the Union address, the right believes “the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
Many on the left (and some Republicans) take the opposing view: that the government has just as much responsibility to foreigners as to its own people, and that anyone from anywhere should be free to come here at any time, for any reason, without consequence. Their view is that America must absorb whoever arrives, regardless of the cost to schools, hospitals, housing, public safety or social cohesion.
Increasingly, this position is interetwined with open hostility to America and Western civilization and is seen as a tool for cultural transformation.
The Supreme Court just issued two good 6-3 decisions on immigration (TPS and asylum).
Don't let the timing fool anyone.
Soon, the Court will likely issue an egregiously wrong ruling.
The Court will pretend Chinese birth tourists, Tren de Aragua terrorists, Islamist invaders, and other illegals get automatic birthright citizenship.
We The People, the sovereign citizens of America, never agreed to this.
Not at our founding, not after the Civil War, not in any subsequent Congress.
Never.
This will serve as the most serious violation of our most crucial sovereign power:
Controlling who comes and goes--and who becomes one of us.
We The People never agreed to this judicially sanctioned invasion and replacement.
Sou casado há 16 anos, pai de duas filhas maravilhosas e nunca desrespeitei, maltratei ou humilhei uma mulher na minha vida. Jamais o faria com a esposa do meu próprio pai.
Tenho 45 anos de idade, 24 anos de vida pública e sou reconhecido pelo meu equilíbrio, educação e respeito com todos, até com meus adversários políticos.
Em nenhum momento ofendi ou tive a intenção de ofender a Michelle. Se o fiz em algum momento, mais uma vez, peço desculpas. Tenho por ela respeito e reconhecimento pelo trabalho no PL Mulher, pelo cuidado com meu pai e por tudo o que representa para o Brasil.
Toda nossa família está passando por um momento muito difícil. E entendo a angústia da Michelle vendo meu pai, todos os dias, sofrendo com tamanha injustiça.
Eu também sofro, mas sigo firme! Viajando o Brasil carregando o manto que meu pai me deu, passando dias longe de casa, da minha esposa, das minhas filhas, sem poder orar e dar um beijo nelas antes de dormir, sofrendo ameaças de morte e, mesmo, sigo focado na missão. Pois acredito que é um projeto de Deus para o nosso país! Não reclamo do cansaço ou da ausência sentida pela minha família, apenas peço a Deus sabedoria, saúde, força e coragem para fazer a Sua vontade!
Tenho absoluta convicção de que todos nós temos o mesmo objetivo: o melhor para o Brasil e nos livrar da esquerda. É natural que, em determinados momentos, pessoas comprometidas com o mesmo propósito enxerguem caminhos diferentes para chegar ao melhor resultado. Isso acontece nas famílias, nas empresas e também na vida pública. Divergências de estratégia não significam divergências de princípios.
Estou cumprindo uma missão designada por Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Todas as minhas decisões sempre são tomadas com o respaldo dele. Sempre!
O Brasil precisa se livrar de Lula e do PT . Precisamos ter foco nisso!
Ontem (terça) liguei para a Senadora Damares Alves e pedi que organizasse uma reunião, na próxima quarta-feira, com lideranças femininas conservadoras para que eu pudesse aprender, ouvi-las e me ajudassem a construir o melhor plano de país para as mulheres de todo o Brasil.
Ainda ontem pela manhã, também escrevi à Damares: “Se vc achar que é o caso de convidar a Michelle tb, eu tô de coração aberto! Bjs!”
Hoje (quarta) pela manhã, eu mesmo fiz questão de ligar para Michelle e convidá-la, pessoalmente. Fiz mais um gesto não correspondido. Não atendeu. Deixei mensagem. Também não retornou.
Para minha surpresa, na tarde de hoje ela publicou o vídeo.
A reunião na próxima quarta-feira está mantida, para tratar justamente das soluções que proporemos para milhões de mulheres brasileiras que acordam cedo, trabalham, cuidam dos filhos e das famílias.
De coração aberto, fiz o convite à Michelle, justamente porque acredito que o diálogo, o respeito e a união sempre serão o melhor caminho.
O convite segue de pé e o coração segue aberto, pois temos um Brasil para tirar das mãos do PT.
O Brasil precisa de maturidade, serenidade e unidade. Vamos concentrar nossas energias naquilo que realmente importa: construir um futuro melhor para todos os brasileiros!
The situation in Cuba is devolving as the island’s corrupt, brutal and anti-American Communist regime continues to prioritize its own total control over the freedom, opportunity and basic wellbeing of the Cuban people.
The Cuban military-controlled conglomerate GAESA has persistently served as the main vector for regime elites to steal the island’s few resources, diverting them for repression, anti-American subversion and spying instead of schools, power plants, and basic necessities for the Cuban people. Today, I designated additional GAESA network entities associated with moving both its money and its physical assets, as well as entities responsible for exploiting Cuba’s mineral and metal reserves for ill-gotten profit.
Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of being sanctioned themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities immediately.
We welcome the arrival of the United States delegation in #Switzerland.
The United States delegation is on its way to the Bürgenstock as part of the implementation of the MoU signed between the #UnitedStates and #Iran.
Patriotism is not believing your country is perfect.
Patriotism is refusing to let people who hate it be the only ones willing to fight for its future.
גם אצלנו זה כבר קורה. ובאופן אבסורדי, לא רק בשמאל.
הליכוד, שהתחיל את דרכו כמפלגה שהבינה שצריך לשחרר את המשק הישראלי, הופך בשנים האחרונות למפלגה של קצבאות, מינויים, מקורבים, שליטה ממשלתית בשווקים, ניפוח מנגנונים וחלוקת כסף פוליטית. זו אינה כלכלת שוק. זו כלכלת מקורבים.
הדבר המרכזי שהציל את ישראל עד עכשיו הוא ההיי־טק.
לא מפני שהממשלה ניהלה אותו, אלא מפני שהיא לא ידעה איך להתערב בו יותר מדי. הוא צמח כי היו בו חופש, הון פרטי, חיבור לעולם, תחרות, כישרון וסיכון. אבל גם זה נפגע. כבר ב־ 2023 דיווחה רויטרס, על בסיס סקר של רשות החדשנות, שעד 80% מהסטארט־אפים החדשים בישראל בחרו להירשם בדלאוור, לעומת כ־ 20% בלבד שנה קודם לכן. זו אינה סטטיסטיקה טכנית. זו הצבעת אי אמון של האנשים שבונים את העתיד.
קפיטליזם אינו פוטר את המדינה מאחריות. להפך. מדינה קפיטליסטית טובה צריכה להיות חזקה בדיוק במקומות הנכונים: ביטחון, חוק, חינוך, תשתיות, תחרות, בריאות, רווחה בסיסית, הזדמנות אמיתית לילדים מהפריפריה. אבל היא לא צריכה לנהל כל מפעל, לקבוע כל מחיר, להחליף כל יזם, ולחלק כספים כדי לקנות שקט פוליטי.
הבחירה האמיתית איננה בין שוק חופשי לג׳ונגל. הבחירה היא בין כלכלה שמייצרת ערך ואז משתמשת בו כדי לבנות חברה הגונה, לבין כלכלה שמבטיחה צדק ואז הורגת את התמריצים, מבריחה את היצרנים, ומגלה שאין לה מה לחלק.
אם אתם רוצים לדעת איך זה נגמר, אל תקראו תיאוריה. סעו לקובה

ביממה האחרונה סגן נשיא ארה״ב התעצבן במסיבת עתונאים על סמוטריץ׳ ובן גביר, שר החוץ סער ניתק את הקשרים עם שרת החוץ של האיחוד האירופי, והנשיא טראמפ אמר שנתניהו מגלה חוסר אחריות בלבנון. אם לא נחליף מהר את הממשלה הזו, יחסי החוץ של ישראל יימחקו
I am honoured to announce that the historic ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ has been electronically signed today between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Memorandum has been signed by honourable Presidents of both the countries and also endorsed by me as the mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both sides to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Islamabad MoU shall enter into force with immediate effect and as a first step, Islamic Republic of Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade.
I offer my heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution have once again helped end a conflict that could have led to devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the dedication and tireless efforts of the United States negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for their invaluable contributions to this achievement.
I express my profound respect and appreciation to His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran and President Masoud Pezeshkian for their wisdom, foresight and statesmanship in embracing the cause of peace. I also wish to recognize the efforts of the Iranian negotiating team, including Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi and Eskandar Momeni, whose patience, perseverance and commitment to constructive engagement were instrumental in bringing this agreement to fruition.
I would especially like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and constructive engagement of the leadership of the State of Qatar in helping reach this point. I also highly commend the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Türkiye and the Arab Republic of Egypt for their indispensable role and invaluable contributions in this regard.
I would also like to make special mention of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication and instrumental role were critical in facilitating this breakthrough and advancing the cause of peace and regional stability.
May this Memorandum of Understanding serve as an enduring foundation for greater understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the complete region.

There have been have so many memorable days and proud accomplishments for the President and his team.
The G7 was a huge success and an opportunity to make sure the members and other participates see “America First” in action. Not America Only, America First.
The trip was capped off with a beautiful dinner and birthday celebration for President Trump at Versailles. This was truly spectacular - particularly after his blistering schedule of bilateral and other meetings and working sessions. Nobody works harder.
President Trump signed the MOU with Iranians while he was at dinner. While the next 60 days will present challenges as important details are worked out, signing was a great step forward for America and, indeed, the world.
Enjoy this photo of President Trump signing the document (through the flowers) and the Presidential motorcade, entering the gates front gates of Versailles.
Another successful G7 in the books
Reindustrialize is always incredible. I was always taught “show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future”. My friends and peers are winners. America is amazing. X is amazing for bringing so many of these people together online.
I even had the chance to share a cigar with two legends and new friends @BrianNorgard and @Cernovich.
