Redistricting Battle

Friendly & Constructive

… Holy See. The Holy See also arranged for Rubio's motorcade to enter through the "Arch of Bells," usually reserved for the head of state, a special mark of respect for Rubio.

More: the Vatican sent the Prefect of the Papal Household, Archbishop Peter Rajik, to greet Rubio as he arrived in the San Damaso Courtyard, where Rubio and his delegation were then greeted by the full Swiss Honorary Guard.

Additionally: a State Department official tells the Daily Wire that conversations between Pope Leo and Sec Rubio were "friendly and constructive."

The convos with Holy See leadership included U.S. work with the Catholic Church and Caritas in Cuba.

Savanah Hernandez’s Attorney

I Have 30 Apples

… federal court, and the ability to compel testimony under oath with a threat of contempt if they refuse.

This is a new ballgame played by different rules.

Mayor Admits Reservoir Was for Wildfires

… attorneys have consistently fought Spencer Pratt and the 10,000 other fire victims by claiming the reservoir she had drained was for drinking water and not for firefighting purposes. Victims' attorneys have been fighting her on this for like 16 straight months and she just...admitted it. An incredible liar just made an incredible mistake last night and she will be hearing from a LOT of lawyers today.

… know who Karen Bass is, you should watch this video and ask yourself why are there so many Democrat politicians training in Cuba before being elected into powerful positions in American public office?

A Promise Was Made

I had a great call with The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. We discussed many topics, including that we are completely united that Iran can never have a Nuclear Weapon. We agreed that a regime that kills its own people cannot control a bomb that can kill millions. I’ve been waiting patiently for the EU to fulfill their side of the Historic Trade Deal we agreed in Turnberry, Scotland, the largest Trade Deal, ever! A promise was made that the EU would deliver their side of the Deal and, as per Agreement, cut their Tariffs to ZERO! I agreed to give her until our Country’s 250th Birthday or, unfortunately, their Tariffs would immediately jump to much higher levels.

Wall of Steel

Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave! A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST! Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.”

US Central Command

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.

Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.

CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.
