A Great Deal of Mutual Respect for Each Other

… many masks; however, unlike many leaders he does so publicly. He will say whatever is needed to make the ‘West’ think they have upper hand, while doing exactly the opposite.

Erdogan will decry terrorism, take in Syrian refugees and simultaneously kill Kurds and provide safe harbor for the worst elements of The Muslim Brotherhood (political Islam). No one sleeps in Erdogan’s camp without one eye open and a weapon under their pillow.

The ‘west’ hates his duplicity and leverage. The Russians don’t trust him an inch. The Arabs think he’s sketchy and the Persian’s tolerate him. However, Erdogan is centered in the Gateway between the Middle East and Europe; even Turkey’s geography is critical.

There is only one guy in global politics who interacts with Recep Erdogan in a way that generates mutual respect; that guy is Donald Trump. The skillset that Trump carries is his lack of pretending, his brutal honesty in every interaction.

Trump could be standing next to Erdogan as a presser, answer a question and say, “He’s a strong man, he’s probably lying, but that’s ok, I like him, it’s strong politics, you can’t be weak, we will figure it out.”…. To wit Erdogan won’t flinch an inch but smile inside.

In a weird way, 99% of the viewing public will not understand the dynamic of this relationship, but it’s funny. If there was one global leader who would be disliked by NATO more than Erdogan, it’s probably Trump.

The two non-pretending leaders -absolutely critical for everything- have a great deal of mutual respect for each other.

And there’s a reason why the notoriously insufferable NATO manipulator met President Trump at the airport, with an official greeting.

Senator McConnell Has Been Hospitalized for Three Weeks

… is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?


Lara Logan

I just met Desiree Townsend in DC & was impressed - she has forced/shamed the mainstream media into covering this by doing her job the way they should have been doing theirs, tracking down the 911 calls, constantly going back to the hospital for updates, keeping pressure on his office/staff etc. If you’re interested in this, folo her reporting.

… update on the condition of a sitting U.S. Senator. The lack of transparency has been outrageous and has left people wondering whether he’s being kept alive on life support or whether the full truth simply isn’t being told… has he already passed???

Then there’s Elaine Chao, McConnell’s wife, traveling to China to meet with a CCP leader just days after McConnell was hospitalized. Maybe there’s an explanation, but the timing is undeniably odd. Would you leave your husband to travel to China if he is so ill he’s in the hospital for over 20 days? I sure wouldn’t.

Something about this entire situation doesn’t add up, and the American people deserve answers.

WE NEED PROOF OF LIFE!

… 14, his staff issued a statement claiming he continues to improve and is working closely with his office. 🙄

However, anyone with extensive bedside experience knows that for an 84-year-old frail patient who has sustained an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest requiring full resuscitation, the idea that he is actively participating in daily Senate business is highly unlikely.

The brutal physical trauma of chest compressions combined with the high risk of acute neurological insult makes a return to a high-functioning baseline virtually impossible for someone with his preexisting vulnerabilities.

From my clinical perspective, the statistical chances of a full recovery are slim to none, serving as a stark reminder that political status cannot override physiological limits.

Who agrees that his constituents and the rest of America deserves the truth? 🤔

Barbara Boyd, 6 July 2026



Barbara Boyd argues that recent speeches by President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance offer an antidote to communism, socialism, and what she calls Democrats’ targeting of Gen Z and millennials through a counterculture shaped under Obama and Biden and teachers’ unions. She describes escalating attacks on Trump’s planned Freedom 250 celebration, including musicians withdrawing, blue states refusing to join the Great American State Fair, a Patriot Front march, and Chatham House commentary highlighting U.S. “fault lines.” Boyd highlights New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s July 3 City Hall speech criticizing inequality and “oligarchs,” including Elon Musk, and notes online satire in response. She then recaps Trump’s Mount Rushmore remarks defining American liberty, culture, self-reliance, and patriotism, and Vance’s New York Harbor speech invoking Washington, the Declaration, and builder Henry Kaiser.

We Canceled Those Grants

… we canceled those grants, called off 900 DEI trainings, and began reorganizing USDA to refocus the Department on its core mission. That was a good start—but there is much more work to do.

For too long, Washington prioritized a radical political agenda over the people who feed, fuel, and clothe our nation. Meanwhile, input costs soared, family farms struggled, and in 2023 America became a net food importer for the first time in generations.

Our measure of success is simple: prosperous farmers and ranchers, a stronger rural America, lower costs, and restoring America's food security. 🇺🇸🧑‍🌾

This Tragedy Never Should Have Happened

… inspection.

Bon was ALLOWED into our nation by the Biden Administration in 2024 as a parolee. In June 2025, his parole was terminated, but Bon REFUSED to leave the country.

This tragedy NEVER should have happened. Our prayers are with Trooper Pahira’s family, friends, and loved ones during this time.
