This morning, I was honored to receive President Trump's representative to President-Elect Museveni’s inauguration ceremony, Mr. Nicholas Checker, Head of the Africa Bureau at the U.S. Department of State, accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Uganda William Popp. We later attended a bilateral meeting at State House, Entebbe.

May 4, 2026 will not be just another date.
The Iranian regime is testing the world in the Strait of Hormuz—attacking ships, threatening global energy, and pushing toward confrontation and on top of all this attacking the UAE 🇦🇪
Just like October 7 changed the rules for Hamas…
This moment will define what comes next for Tehran.
This is not a warning.
It’s a turning point. #mariamaalouf
🚨🇪🇺EU IMMIGRATION SHOCK: URSULA’S TOTAL DEFEAT!
The EU just changed FOREVER! In a vote that has left Brussels in total CHAOS, the Parliament just passed the most brutal immigration crackdown in history. Ursula von der Leyen was seen visibly SHAKEN as her "open border" dream collapsed in real-time...
This brought back a wave of emotions for me and I’m certain any other leader who has had to be the notifying officer for someone killed in the line of duty. Agree or disagree w/ the war, the human toll of even one loss of life of any service member is indescribable. Words do not do justice and when the media lies, it only hurts the ones who are already hurting even more.
God bless all our troops and NEVER FORGET the families who also suffer during some very difficult times. May their loved ones rest in peace with the Lord 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Gold Institute for International Strategy President @eligold28 and @RepMcCormick (GA-7) sat down today to discuss a wide variety of topics relating to national security and international relations.
Tucker Carlson: “Let’s DNA-test Jews to prove they’re ‘real’ enough for the land!”
Meanwhile, he ignores the glaring fact: Palestine was never a sovereign state. Not once. Ottoman dirt, British colonial paperwork, no country, no throne, no sovereignty.
And get this, the whole “Palestinian” identity? Born in 1964 by an Egyptian fraud named Arafat.
Before that? No history, no nation, just Muslim invaders who rolled in fourteen hundred years ago on Islam’s blade.
Jews? Three thousand years of unbroken roots and lineage, rabbis, graves, scrolls, kingdoms, temples and every day prayer from exile:
“Next Year in Jerusalem”
Science might swab, but history doesn’t lie.
Tucker must be blinded by hate and anger to take the side of lying invaders.
The Gold Institute is proud to have hosted a historic conference yesterday with leaders from Korea! @GenFlynn@eligold28@GENcharlie@SteveLanceNTD@laralogan If you missed it, you can watch the whole livestream here: https://t.co/KuEeq352PZ
Last week’s Indo-Pacific Conference highlighted the sheer scale of the Indo-Pacific, China’s expanding military and infrastructure buildup, and Beijing’s use of economic pressure across Southeast Asia. In discussion about the Korean Peninsula, our experts focused on the dense concentration of forces near the DMZ and the risks posed by instability in North Korea, including the possibility of internal power struggles and broader regional consequences. @GenFlynn@eligold28@WashTimes Read more here: https://t.co/3aq9jfvDMa
Lebanon in 2025 has reached a stage of structural collapse that now shapes how Washington, Riyadh, and other international actors evaluate the country’s strategic relevance. The decision by the Trump administration to cancel all scheduled meetings for Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) Commander Rodolphe Haykal in Washington constitutes a pivotal indicator of this reassessment. This study examines the strategic implications of this diplomatic shift, contextualizes it within Lebanon’s internal security developments—including the arrest of Nouh Zeiter and the assassination of Hayssam “Abu Ali” Tbatabai—and analyzes how these events reinforce the perception of Lebanon as a state fully compromised by Hezbollah’s influence. @GoldInstituteIS@eligold28@GenFlynn

Sir Stephen Watson, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police:
‘I think it's some very important point to reflect upon that Jewish children are the only children in our country who, day to day, go to school behind large fences guarded by people with busy jackets, and where there are routine police patrols in and around those areas. Our Jewish communities put up with a way of life in our country today that nobody else has to put up with. I do think that there is something very significant in that, something very significant in the realisation of it, and we all, I think need to question ourselves afresh as the dynamic continues to change as to whether what we are doing continues to be adequate.’

By demanding more of Seoul and, in turn, granting it greater agency, he helped catalyze the transformation of the U.S.–ROK alliance from a mentorship into a mutual enterprise, from reliance to alliance.

The terrorist attack on the Khor Mor gas field once again proves that the @IraqiGovt is powerless against the militias. These attacks occurred just before the opening of the new @USCGERBIL and the visit of U.S. Deputy Secretary of State @DepSecStateMR, during which Iran-backed militia groups in Iraq targeted the largest gas field in the Kurdistan. This attack also follows recent comments by U.S. Special Envoy to Iraq @Mark_Savaya, who stated: “The United States stands with Iraq as it moves forward strong, independent, and free from foreign-backed militias.”
If the United States truly seeks a strong and stable @Kurdistan , then now is the time to provide a comprehensive air and missile defense system to the Kurdistan Region as soon as possible. It is clear that these attacks target both Iraq’s economic infrastructure and all U.S. interests, because these attacks have a direct negative impact on global energy prices!
It is time for the @realDonaldTrump administration to demonstrate that its policies toward Iraq are genuinely different from those of the Biden administration…
