A personal account…saying what others won’t,knowing what others don’t.

Gotta say, this held up pretty well.

Felt a little lonely writing it. Those who tried to block it know who they are. Now we have multiple deputy oil ministers in custody and the chain reaction is still going ...

Worthwhile read. Points to a fundamental truth so many fold overlooked in 2023-2026, often for reasons of personal or institutional gain. I.e., that Sudani's anti corruption witch hunts were always the actions of a man throwing stones, while himself living in a glass house of corruption.

This is why I laughed out loud in amazement at a DC think tank event where Sudani was cringingly introduced as "Mr White Gloves" because he was supposedly so absent of corruption.

This case is a total setup for the public. The figures being presented here are peanuts compared to what's actually there. It’s all pure theatre. They show you a few millions and some properties to make it look like they’re fighting corruption, while hiding the real billions. All of this is just a fraction of what he actually has, and they want you to look no further. It's an internal political game, not justice.

Talk about a desperate headline.

Let's look at reality

He pleaded guilty to a minor misdemeanor trespass charge, not a violent crime.

He completed his degree with top honors at a military college.

He received a legal presidential pardon.

The Pentagon explicitly confirmed he's fully qualified. Move on.

@MikeLevin Fake news.

It was gifted to the US Air Force, not Trump.

The Air Force explicitly said it cost under $400M, not a billion.

It goes to a presidential library, not a hotel.

Take a seat and delete this embarrassing fan fiction.

Speaking at the G7 summit, President Trump says he's "not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon" as he discussed the proposed peace deal with Iran

[Trey Yingst @TreyYingst]

Spoke with President Trump. He says the deal with Iran is expected to be signed in the next 2-3 hours.

President Trump said he asked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu “what the fu*k are you doing?” on a call after the Israeli strikes against Beirut. He told Netanyahu not to conduct additional strikes.

The President told me he will ask Iran not to respond with missile fire toward Israel.

Qatar Foundation International is "winding down." But QFI is one small piece of a much larger picture. Qatar has spent at least $400 billion in the United States — across defense, education, media, real estate, and tech.
