What the Bag Boy Said
I let him help me out to my truck. He was a supermarket bag boy. Maybe 19. Nice kid. Reddish hair. Warm smile. He spoke with a significant speech impediment.

My message today may not be a popular one, but it’s time to address the elephant in the room, and I’ll attempt to do it in a fair and balanced way. I want to talk about Donald Trump. I realize I’m walking on thin ice here, because he’s one of — if not the — most polarizing figures in all of American political history. Critics have an unreasonable and largely unsubstantiated hatred for Trump, which has come to be known as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” or “TDS.” Meanwhile, many of his supporters believe he can do no wrong, and are willing to overlook anything he does that they don’t agree with, because after all, he’s “saved us” from the Communist Left.

The five-pointed star was a symbol of harmony, divine order, and protection for thousands of years before Hollywood and occult writers gave it a darker reputation. The Greeks saw mathematical perfection in its lines, Christians saw the wounds of Christ, and the American founders saw a “new constellation” representing a republic of united states. The geometry never changed. The story did. And when the U.S. Army painted a white star on tanks and aircraft, it was not invoking ancient magic—it was carrying forward one of humanity’s oldest and most enduring symbols of order, purpose, and identity.
Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), whom we are very, very fortunate is not Vice President of the United States, in his eagerness to protect illegal immigrants, goes out of his way to pardon an illegal with a past felony conviction, to try to keep him from being deported. From the New York Post: Tim Walz pardons …

For the first time in decades, Washington should be safe and clean enough to visit—just in time for the 250th celebration of independence.
As I’m sure most of you have noticed? Our federal government is a titanic, monstrous mess.
In all of human history, there has almost certainly never been an entity this dysfunctional and disorganized.
And the fact we have allowed something this messed up – to get this huge? May be the most grievous error in human history.
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told the House Oversight Committee that then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was in charge of the Justice Department’s botched release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, acknowledging that there were “redaction errors” in the handling of documents, according to Bondi’s opening statement, which was obtained by MS NOW.
President Trump’s dragon-proof foreign policy systematically targets and reverses Xi Jinping-era Chinese geopolitical and economic gains. It combines economic pressure, targeted regime disruptions, military actions, and hemispheric reassertion to erode China’s influence in key regions, disrupt cheap resource flows, undermine proxy networks, and reassert US dominance. This directly counters Xi’s narrative of inevitable US decline and multipolar “Global South” realignment, and that private meeting between Xi and President Trump in Beijing must have been a doozy!
It’s weird. Being back in America again. For one thing, they don’t call it “America” over in Europe. It’s bad form. They call it “the U.S.”
The top reason, cited by 62% of metro area respondents and 55% of Portland-specific respondents was the high taxes. The second most prominent reason, listed by 36% of metro area residents and 40% of Portlanders was housing costs. Crime was the third most important reason why they are considering moving.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo talks about President Donald Trump’s Iran strategy as the president says a ‘final determination’ is being made on ‘The Story.’
NATO was created to keep Europe from destroying itself again. Instead, decades after the Cold War ended, the alliance kept marching east while pretending Russia would simply accept endless expansion with polite concern and a diplomatic smile. From the Balkans to Ukraine, the promises of “not one inch further” slowly became a geopolitical punchline written in bureaucratic doublespeak and missile deployments. Meanwhile, Europe outsourced its defense, America paid the bill, and the alliance drifted from deterrence into an ideological security machine increasingly disconnected from reality. The question now is no longer whether NATO once served a purpose. The question is whether it still protects peace — or whether it has become a Cold War institution sleepwalking the West toward a conflict nobody truly wants to fight.

I begin today’s newsletter by reminding readers that Asian rhinoceroses live mainly in swamps. All rhinos need water and mud wallows for cooling, skin protection, and parasite control, so they often stay near rivers, lakes, or wet areas even in drier habitats. Asian species have adapted more to forested and wetland environments, while African ones lean toward open plains.
We have had the opportunity to examine real-world events over the past few months. The world has changed dramatically, and we have witnessed the transition of world regions and countries. President Trump and the United States is responsible for the majority of these shifts. Globalism and Globalists have taken a back seat to these initiatives. The United States announced murder charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, a major escalation in Washington’s pressure campaign against the island’s communist government.
