Trump is not even one year into this term and the coalition he has led for 10 years is in danger of completely collapsing.

His neocon foreign policy, deficit spending, and attempt to make the Epstein saga go away without further transparency has alienated his most devoted supporters?

Can he come back from this?

Will he correct course?

The internet, especially the social media part of it, has turned politics into a soap opera. The latest episode centers around Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes.

Carlson did another bad thing by talking to another bad person he wasn’t supposed to. The narrative gatekeepers always lose their minds when respectable people talk to the banished. They did this when Tucker talked to Putin, and they lost their minds when he talked to the president of Iran.

Nevertheless, Tucker’s popularity continues undisturbed, his network continues along on its upward trajectory, and the haters continue providing reasons for people not to like them.

It’s been weeks since the interview and the neocons in the political and punditry clubs are still losing their minds. But few seem to be asking a critical question at the center of all this drama: Why is Fuentes popular?

If you manage to wade through the theatrics, the racist remarks, and other nonsense, you’ll realize that Fuentes rails against problems that we, as a society, should make right. People like that are never totally off. They’re never wrong about everything. They’re using legitimate grievances to build trust.

In this video, I talk about the issues that, should we address them, would make people like Fuentes far less popular.

Have you noticed the massive increase in mainstream UFO-alien coverage lately?

Between nonstop chatter about 3I/Atlas, thousands of reports of UFO sightings on the Enigma app, and congressional hearings on UAPs, UFO talk has increased significantly. Moreover a polished documentary featuring lawmakers and a slew of “former” national security officials is debuting later this month.

Something is going on. But what?

Is our benevolent leadership oligarchy finally ready to tell us the truth? Doubtful.

Whatever the truth about UFOs and aliens is, we know for certain that the powers-that-be have a long, long, track record of manipulating events and crises to suit their agendas. And two of their main agendas have been the eradication of Christianity and implementation of a world government.

Watch this video to hear how these two agendas work with the alien narrative.

Bill Gates doesn’t think climate change poses a disastrous threat to humanity, anymore—like he’d been saying it does for more than a decade.

He recently said this on his blog: “Climate change is not the biggest threat to the lives and livelihoods of people in poor countries, and it won’t be in the future,” he said.

He said something else that made sense. He suggested that people with money and influence should use their powers to do actual good in the world.

It’s an astonishing reversal, begging the question: What gives? What is Bill Gates really up to?

I have a few good guesses.

Globalists want a world war. It would devastate the planet and render the people left alive so desperate for stability that they would accept any system that resembles order. That's when they'd swoop in with the answer: World Government.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told President Donald Trump that Russia is not Iran. The high-ranking Russian official flung off a rare but outright threat.

Russia’s saber-rattling is not the primary concern. It’s escalation over a conflict Americans could care less about, but also one that ultimately birth a global government.

Watch the video to hear why continued U.S. meddling may pave a path toward global government.

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. For two weeks, this story has topped all other news headlines. It has refused to die, to go away, no matter how hard the president has tried to convince his most hitherto loyal supporters to move on.

Why?

What is it about this story that demands so much attention.

Tucker Carlson brought Darryl Cooper on to discuss Epstein. Cooper had put together a six-hour podcast on Epstein. He and Tucker rambled on for three hours. Somewhere near the beginning of the discussion, Cooper blurted out a sentence that I believe encapsulates what makes this story so interesting.

It’s official. American preachers can now endorse political candidates from the pulpit without fear of losing their church’s tax-exempt status.

This comes about thanks to the conclusion of a lawsuit filed by a couple of Texas churches last year.

Even since the Johnson Amendment was added to a broad tax bill in the 1950s, the IRS has banned political endorsements. And while proponents of the rule like to say it was loosely enforced to begin with, it has nonetheless muzzled leaders of faith for decades.

Will this change how pastors, preachers, and other Church leaders behave behind the pulpit?

More importantly—will this lead to a change in the culture?

WATCH the video for my thoughts on the matter.

America is still the greatest country.

You know this is true because people still want to come here.

Another reason we know this is true is because the people who claim to hate this country won’t leave.

Donald Trump has had it with Thomas Massie and his silly principles. The Kentuckian’s latest violations include voting against the One, Big, Beautiful Bill and calling Trump’s unilateral decision to order a military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites “unconstitutional.”

A pro-Trump super PAC is going after the rogue Republican congressman on behalf of the president. Kentucky MAGA recently released a hard-hitting attack ad filled with lies.

I talked to Massie about the ad, and he pointed out the irony that the Senate stripped some of the provisions Massie is falsely accused of opposing—yet Trump still supports it. Massie also told me he’s seen a significant uptick in support, including fundraising. He also told me why he thinks he’ll win this battle.

The match is on!

Watch my video for further analysis.

The Big Beautiful Bill includes $150 billion for defense spending. It’s fascinating to see the technology we’re investing in.

The Big Beautiful Bill military spending section is impressive and alarming. It makes you wonder whether we’re bolstering defenses or preparing for war. The answer is likely both.

The bill allocates money to build a Golden Dome missile system, boost production of every kind of missile, torpedo, mine, and explosive, and to improve the effectiveness of our nuclear weapons system. There’s even piles of money for unmanned underwater robots and lasers.

Watch the video for more details.
