Barbara Boyd argues that Mike Pompeo’s June 8 X post praising former MI6 chief Alex Younger amounts to a confession that, within weeks of being named CIA director in late 2016, he coordinated closely with British intelligence—linking this partnership to the origins of Russiagate, which she cites The Guardian as attributing to British spies who fed claims to John Brennan. She highlights Richard Moore’s remarks about deep CIA–MI6 integration, points to Pompeo’s appointment of Gina Haspel and his praise of Brennan, and claims key documents were withheld until resurfaced by Tulsi Gabbard. Boyd says Pompeo and Mnuchin discussed invoking the 25th Amendment after Jan. 6, 2021, and frames the motive as opposition to Trump’s “American System” economics, tied to Koch funding and the Mont Pelerin Society. She concludes that Trump is pursuing industrial revival via defense-driven manufacturing, while Britain faces political resignations and fiscal strain.
Is America becoming a manufacturing superpower again?
For decades, globalization hollowed out America's factories, supply chains, and industrial ecosystems. Entire industries were shipped overseas, productive capacity declined, and the nation increasingly relied on financial markets instead of physical production.
Now, President Trump's proposed $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget may signal a dramatic reversal.
While critics see another expansion of military spending, supporters argue the legislation represents something much larger: the beginning of a long-term effort to rebuild America's manufacturing base, restore industrial capacity, and revive the productive powers that once made the United States the world's leading economic force.
In this analysis, Mike examines how hundreds of billions of dollars are being directed toward advanced manufacturing, research and development, shipbuilding, critical minerals, industrial lending, and the restoration of domestic supply chains. Beneath the politics lies a deeper question: what actually makes a nation powerful?
Drawing on the ideas of Alexander Hamilton, Jamieson Greer, the American System of economics, and the nation's history of industrial development, Mike explores why manufacturing ecosystems—not financial speculation—have historically driven national prosperity and technological advancement.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration acknowledges that there are at least 250,000 illegal immigrants driving trucks in America, many of whom aren’t trained to drive the vehicles, and don’t understand English.
At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth. Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity. During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls. With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones. Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive. This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong.
“We extend our gratitude to the Venezuelan security forces for their support to the successful joint operation against a Tren de Aragua compound that resulted in the death of the narco-terrorist organization’s leader Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias “Niño Guerrero.” Guerrero was a wanted fugitive charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with ordering, directing, and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States.” - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan
Earlier this week, the @DeptofWar — in full collaboration with Venezuelan security forces — conducted a kinetic strike on a Tren de Aragua (TdA) compound in Venezuela. TdA founder & leader Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, aka “Niño Guerrero,” was confirmed killed during the…

… strike.
The operation underscores the shared U.S. and Venezuelan commitment to take the fight to narco-terrorists and deny them any safe haven in our hemisphere. We will continue to work closely with security partners, like Venezuela — and counties in the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) partners — to take the fight to our enemies.
Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement. The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands. At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States. We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!
We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week.
… America and Islamic Republic of Iran for their ongoing commitment during the negotiations, and we extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in the region for their support. We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace.
With all the garbage on here, it's refreshing to see folks like Tim, RFK, and hell I'll toss in @SenJohnKennedy keeping it real. This is what life throws at us sometimes. We need more normal people in office.

Respect! This is not at all what I would expect from one of the normal house representatives. Most of them were total whips. Thank you for being able to pick up a snake like a man!
I am used to killing them when they wander in close to the house so they don’t scare by kids but later learned they are actually good as they keep the rodent population in check. Good job sir!!
