President Trump stared down Xi Jinping and delivered a masterstroke that left the room in silence:

“I brought the 30 most powerful business leaders on the planet to these talks… and they all said yes. I didn’t send the second-in-command or the vice president.

I wanted the number one from each empire! Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and the other titans… the best in the world are here, right in front of you.”

Then, with his winner’s smile, he sealed the deal:
“They’re here today to pay respect to you and to China. They come hungry to do business, invest, and create. From our side, it’ll be 100% reciprocal.”

The message is clear: America isn’t coming to beg. It’s coming with the supreme bosses of global innovation to lay all the cards on the table.

This isn’t normal diplomacy… this is high-voltage diplomacy!

Maybe my eyes were playing tricks, but did the soldiers who goose stepped past DT and Xi all look alike. I'm not talking about westerner perspective of Asians looking similar, but did Xi "bring in the clones!"?

Don't do that. You don't want to do that here.

LMAO! The President is on fire....

Trump says U.S. kills Islamic State leader in Nigeria

President Trump announced Friday evening that U.S. and Nigerian military forces had killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, a leader of the Islamic State group, in a "meticulously planned and very complex mission."

Mr. Trump described al-Minuki as the Islamic State's second-in-command globally and "the most active terrorist in the world."

"He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans," Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. "With his removal, ISIS's global operation is greatly diminished."

A native of Nigeria, al-Minuki was described by the U.S. State Department in 2023 as a leader of the Islamic State, or ISIS, in Africa's Sahel region. At the time, he served as a senior official in one of the Islamic State's General Directorate of Provinces offices, which "provide operational guidance and funding around the world," according to the State Department.

He was placed on the Treasury Department's specially designated global terrorist list in 2023, hitting him with steep sanctions.

The Islamic State has diminished significantly since the U.S., its regional allies, Iran and other forces wrested large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria from the group's control starting in 2017. But the U.S.-designated terrorist group and its affiliates have remained present in parts of the Middle East and Africa since then, carrying out insurgent attacks.

The group's West Africa branches have a presence in Nigeria and in the Sahel, particularly in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. Suspected attacks by the Islamic State have been reported in all four countries in recent months, including an offensive on a military base in Nigeria and clashes with other Islamist groups, according to the International Crisis Group.

Mr. Trump ordered an earlier round of strikes on Islamic State targets in Nigeria in Christmas Day last year. The U.S. military's Africa Command said "multiple ISIS terrorists" were killed in camps.

The president pressed Nigeria last fall to take more action against terrorism, accusing the country of failing to deal with rampant violence against Christians. The Nigerian government has denied that the country allows religious persecution, and analysts say large numbers of Muslims and Christians have been harmed by insurgency in northern Nigeria.

Anna Paula Luna

Did she turncoat? What did she do? MTG is a wack job. Boebert is a self absorbed bimbo like Noem and Bondi is just plain lazy and ineffective. I thought Luna was pretty solid.

Luna is eccentric, but I wouldn't put her in MTG territory. Her big things were claiming we'll finally know the REAL truth about the JFK assassination and the government's UFO knowledge.

Marco Rubio backs JD Vance in 2028.

I’m going to be in this job for the next two and a half years. I’m going to do that job. I’m going to finish the job for this president. I’m enjoying it very much. I think we’re going to make a lot of good things happen. JD is a very good friend of mine. If JD runs for president. I think he’d be a phenomenal candidate. I’ve said publicly, and I’ll say it again, I’ll be the first person to sign up and support him. I think JD would do great.

He did not flat out state he would not run in 2028, but I think this takes some of the gossip out in regards to Rubio wanting to run for POTUS in 2028.

LMS, you are spot on!

Vance then Rubio would take me nicely to my golden years. I think both men are solid choices although I lean towards Rubio if I had to choose.

It’s possible that Rubio’s declaration of support for Vance is a tactical move. Politics isn’t necessarily WYSIWYG. Both are solid MAGA folks.

Hmmmm maybe the reason Biden wanted to forgive all loans made by the government, it appears to be another avenue to grift funds illegally from the Federal Taxpayers

Is Rubio willing to be Vance's running mate? He's still young, but that means potentially waiting for eight more years. It will certainly give him time to build his already impressive credentials, but sad to say no party has ever held on to the Presidency for more than three terms.

What a loser.

You'd better hope he's not.

Here's Massy's position on 2A, no I'm not a fan of his, but he has taken strong 2A positions...

Historically, Thomas Massie has voted with Republicans 91-95%. Since he grew his beard, it's now 71% of the time...AND he's voted against the Trump MAGA agenda (when it REALLY counts!) virtually 100% of the time! Good Riddance...

Unfortunately, KY representatives to the house and Senate have been disappointing as far as MAGA is concerned....
