Washington's managed-decline crowd said America had to accept industrial decay, energy dependence, and endless trade deficits.
The latest trade report says otherwise:
ׂ✅Record exports.
✅More capital-goods imports to help rebuild industry at home.
✅A shrinking trade deficit.

“This is a coordinated effort between federal, state, and local law enforcement under the HSTF. We have dismantled the leadership and fully disrupted the criminal operations of the Trinitarios transnational gang operating in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and the surrounding areas.” —Jeff Grimming, Acting Special Agent in Charge, @HSI_HQ New England
The Trinitarios is a violent Dominican-American transnational criminal organization founded in New York City in 1993. Members, primarily of Dominican descent, are involved in drug trafficking, murder, assault, robbery, extortion and firearms crimes. They have chapters across the Northeast US, including Lawrence, Haverhill and Boston, Massachusetts. Federal prosecutors just charged 26 alleged leaders and members with RICO conspiracy tied to five murders and 19 attempted murders there as part of a larger takedown.
@thwolff3@BrennpunktUA You are aware that Russia has been seeking to conquer Ukraine, much like Nazi Germany once did with Poland, since 2022? And that, by 2014 at the latest, Russia was infiltrating terrorists (aka "separatists" like Girkin) into eastern Ukraine in order to annex this area indirectly?
.@epaleezeldin is right.
NY has natural gas beneath our feet, yet Albany would rather block development than help lower energy costs.
Working families are paying the price for their failed leadership.
One faction of the regime: "We didn't do it."
The other faction of the regime: "And we'd do it again."
The conflicting statements following the helicopter incident tell you everything you need to know about the state of decision-making within the Islamic Republic right now.

The robber, identified as Michael Austin Dona (then 28 years old), was arrested on the spot on August 1, 2022.
Dona has had multiple subsequent run-ins with law enforcement in the Los Angeles area (e.g., 2023 arrests involving threats of violence and revocation of post-release supervision).
This suggests he was likely released from custody after the 2022 incident (common in California for certain felony cases at the time, especially with overcrowded jails and plea deals), but he continued to have legal issues.
@LizaRosen0000 Those who strictly adhere to Sharia principles while working in healthcare may limit themselves in providing care, which could affect the extent of treatment a patient other religious groups receives.
This updated list of Chinese military companies is a warning to American businesses, all levels of government, and the American people. These Chinese companies are working with the Chinese military against our national interests. Any of them that are publicly traded on U.S. exchanges should be immediately delisted and their products should be removed from supply chains our country depends on. American companies must stop doing business with these threats to our national security, otherwise they are enabling China’s military ascendance. https://t.co/j1nQ2sJuEV
@CENTCOM@RisingLioness The Islamic Republic will continue testing and crossing red lines until it faces meaningful consequences. Proportional responses mean little to a regime that views restraint as weakness.
@bbrandtmedia51@Marc_Kenyon@WesleyHuntTX 📌 Think about what you are saying. Experimental creation of ‘colored’ military units in WWII was necessary to prove a point. It is in this day and age that DEI has become an anachronism.
@PamelaHensley22 Lesley Stahl used to be a trusted journalist. But that was a long time ago. She is overtly invested in partisan politics and no longer knows what journalistic ideals are. She is a disgrace and not to be trusted.
@Mylovanov 📌 In Kasparov’s fantasy, Putin’s regime is neutralized, or its armies defeated, or both. Then the world would finally be rid of a persistent Russian menace. Unfortunatly, the russian zeitgeist is indefatigable, so we’re stuck with it, one way or another.
