Kristi Noem Will Be Moving to Be Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas

I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at “Homeland.”

Serving 10 years in the United States House of Representatives, and 3 in the Senate, Markwayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful People of Oklahoma, where I won all 77 out of 77 Counties — in 2016, 2020, and 2024! A MAGA Warrior, and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Markwayne truly gets along well with people, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Markwayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security.

Donald J Trump

Islam is an eminent threat to America and the western world. Shariah law is not compatible with our values. Neither is communism or cartel corruption. That is why the left uses all three!

As the war in Iran continues to escalate, people in the country are facing explosions, limited access to the internet and shortened business hours. For their safety, children are not going to school and many adults are not going to work.

President Trump is defending his decision to launch the war with Iran, saying in the Oval Office Tuesday there would have been a nuclear war without intervention, and that Iran "would have taken out many countries."

There Is No International Law in the Pure Sense, Only Power

For a long time there has been a recurring debate about whether international law truly exists, and even more fundamentally whether “law” itself is as solid as people assume. The uncomfortable conclusion is that in many circumstances there is no law in the pure sense, only power.… pic.twitter.com/n86StMPLBL

… In openly despotic systems this is obvious. What surprised many people during the Covid period was how quickly the same dynamic appeared in countries that pride themselves on the rule of law.

It took very little to destabilize the system. Almost overnight people were locked in their homes, businesses were shuttered, and churches were closed, yet liquor stores and big box retailers stayed open. Vaccination mandates followed. None of this arose from the deliberate machinery that is supposed to define law. It flowed from whoever happened to hold authority at that moment, and many officials quickly discovered that they enjoyed exercising it.

The situation is even starker in the realm that calls itself international law. There the system is largely a political power contest dressed up in legal language. Consider the advisory opinion urging Britain to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, delivered under the leadership of a Chinese “judge.” That itself reduced the entire spectacle to a farce. But even when such bodies are not openly compromised, the rulings often amount to little more than political preferences written in legal prose. And when a decision happens to be technically sound, there is no mechanism to enforce it. The ruling that China has no legal claim to vast swaths of the South China Sea, including shoals belonging to the Philippines, illustrates the point perfectly. The decision exists on paper while the occupation continues in reality.

All of this underscores a broader truth. International order ultimately rests on power, not on courts or advisory opinions. Which is why the character of the dominant power matters enormously. Of course there have been plenty of mistakes and misadventures, but an international order anchored by American power is vastly preferable to one run by despotic regimes.

Today’s Democrat Party Is Reverting Back to Its Confederate Roots

This proposed Virginia law is blatantly unconstitutional and illegal.

Any Virginia official who attempts to arrest federal ICE agents for doing their jobs will almost certainly face federal felony charges for assault, obstruction, kidnapping, conspiracy, harboring, and the like. https://t.co/wGG9n4VeNV

… arrests inside Virginia courthouses, ban ICE from making arrests within 40 feet of a place that serves as a voting location, and criminalize ICE agents if they wear facial coverings in the field.

Virginia Senate Democrats already approved the bills, so they now go to Gov. Abigail Spanberger for her signature.

It is also textbook insurrection and seditious conspiracy for state and local officials to use force, such as an arrest, to prevent federal agents from enforcing federal laws.

Today’s Democrat Party is reverting back to its confederate roots.

This is unacceptably dangerous.

That’s why we partner with large customers with clear requirements that they pay their fair share. This approach supports continued investment, keeps costs down for existing customers, and helps ensure the benefits of growth are shared by everyone we serve.
