Keep the Truth coming Mr. President
Keep on Tweeting!
Awesome picture! Soon after it was taken, one of the planes flew off in the missing man formation.
I read somewhere, that it would be cheaper for Mexico to build the wall themselves than get hit with these tariffs.
too funny !
UGH!! Newhouse is my congress critter. It was to be expected though as we are very agricultural in my district and don’t you know the illegals will do the work Americans won’t. Also our lovely governor </sarcasm off> just made Washington State a Sanctuary State.
Excellent article about the Stalinist methods of our investigative agencies. PDJT is probably the least corrupt person ever to be in the White House. They found Nothing on him despite all their unAmerican actions.
Ah! One of my favorite movies of all times-—”All About Eve”
Oh! THAT would be fun!!
I have White lantana, they are very popular in the desert . Originally from Africa .
Please post the name if you find it. I would LOVE to see that. Thanks.
Agree!!
We had family that owned a hotel, back in the ‘20’s - 30s...they would barter with folks who didn’t have cash, but did have very nice or needed products/goods.
I remember listening to all of the stories, growing up. Fascinating.
My dad was in Italy. Combat vet..brought home a mauser that his younger brother stills shoots. german helmets and an assortment of knives and... gremlins in his head.
He would never talk about WW2.
When I asked he would say, talk to his older brother who had more time in the pacific than he had in service.
So I’d talk with my uncle and would would tell stories about everything but his war experience.
My dad’s therapist was Jack Daniels.
I’ve lived to an older age than he did.
He passed in 1990. Born in 1926.
Last few years with dementia.
Seems he should have been with us longer.
I remember my dad being “paid” with a bushel of pears or a dozen farm eggs Bartering was and still is accepted behavior in our rural communities.

There is overwhelming support for China & Mexico tariffs, big tech regulation, and immigration restrictions among rank and file Republican voters. Call it the new conservative orthodoxy. If you don't understand it, your career in GOP politics is coming to an end.

Whistleblower at centre of ABC raid stands by Afghan leaks
Samantha Maiden
Due to appear in the ACT Supreme Court on June 13, David William McBride, 55, is charged over alleged leaks to ABC journalists Dan Oakes, Sam Clark and Chris Masters and has pleaded not guilty in the ACT Magistrates Court.
Mr McBride is charged with theft and three counts of breaching the Defence Act, for being a person who is a member of the defence force and communicating a plan, document or information.
He is also charged under the Crimes Act, which make it an offence for a Commonwealth official to disclose information without authorisation.
******************************
The charges relate to an ABC investigation published in 2017 and based on leaked documents called The Afghan Files, which included allegations of unlawful killings by Australian troops.
The lawyer says he provided all of the documents in question to the ABC, but has pleaded not guilty.
He said he was compelled to act as a whistleblower over Australia waging an Instagram war after his attempts to complain to the Department of Defense and police did not result in changes.
The Defense Force was being misused to carry out operations that were counter productive and costing lives. We were fighting an Instagram war, he told The New Daily.
******************************
Mr McBride was in Spain when his home was first raided, but was arrested at the airport when he travelled home to visit his daughter in September.
*******************************
He had previously come to the conclusion, after discussions with his children and ex-wife, that he should return to Australia to face trial.
He was held overnight in a Surry Hills lock up and has remained in Australia, on bail, ever since.
*******************************
Mr McBrides journey to becoming a whistleblower started nearly a decade ago.
In 2011, in my first tour of Afghanistan I started becoming worried we were waging an Instagram war, he said.
*****************************************************
I went to work for the Special Forces and again it became apparent that the rules of engagement had changed to make it more dangerous.
I made a complaint about it. I said this is a bad way to run the military. After my complaint they did an inquiry, but my career went downhill over that.
Mr McBride said he undertook more digging because I suspected there was something very wrong in the Defense Department.
The only way to win the War on Terror was just to pretend. The public dont know any different. The only thing that mattered was public opinion, he said.
Mr McBride, who is representing himself, says he is facing many years in jail if convicted.
***************************************
***************************
**************************
It would be about 60 years (in jail). Its basically espionage. So yeah, its for the rest of my life. Its a worst-case scenario, he told The New Daily.
I am representing myself. There are reasons why I am I doing it. The government has said anyone representing me has to have a very high security clearance.
*************************
**********************************************
***************************
Its a complex case, but its also a simple case. It comes down to: At what point are you obliged to basically rebel against the government?
Mr McBride also said the ABC was reckless in publishing documents online that he believed led to his arrest, but accepted that was the risk you take.
At the time I was pretty angry because (the ABC) published the document on the internet and it was pretty obvious where it had all come from. People in Defense could work out that the common link with the documents was me, Mr McBride said.
(The ABC) didnt do it on purpose, but it was reckless.
Anyway, thats the risk you take. At the time, I felt so strongly about what they were doing and what was going on.
ABC leaks David mcbride
The former military lawyer served two tours of Afghanistan.
Mr McBride spent time on the ground in Afghanistan.
I did two tours of Afghanistan and I was also back in the headquarters in between, he said.
I gave Dan Oakes the information in 2016. I had already seen the police. I saw the police in 2014. He ran a different story. My story was about bad leadership and bad generals. He ran a story about bad soldiers [not generals as he wanted].
[Oakes] got another source, but he also used the documents that I gave him.
Mr McBride said there were many reasons why the AFP may have chosen to raid the ABC now.
I dont know. Theres a lot of different permutations. The AFP, they didnt like The Afghan Files because it criticized the SAS, he said.
The cops who were investigating it when they spoke to me they said, How did you feel about the fact the ABC ran an anti-army story? I said, Well, yeah I wasnt very happy with it.
Theres another witness who tells a different story to me in The Afghan Files. Maybe, they want him to go on trial?

Subject: Travel Pool Report #4 Arrival/full POTUS comments
AF1 touched down in Caen at 10:22 AM (x-apple-data-detectors://2) local. POTUS and FLOTUS deplaned at 10:32 AM (x-apple-data-detectors://3) . He is wearing a blue tie, while the first lady is sporting a black dress and matching black heels. Your pooler has asked for a list of individuals who greeted them on the tarmac.
Marine One was wheels up at 10:40 AM (x-apple-data-detectors://4) and headed for the landing zone at Normandy American Cemetery. Pool is following by helo.
Here is a full transcript of POTUS remarks prior to departure:
So were going to Normandy and its going to be something really special. It looks like the weathers beautiful, but who knows, it changes fast. I think its going to be an incredible, special day and in a very special, very important place. So I look forward to that.
As you know, Mexico was in yesterday. Theyre coming back this morning meeting at the White House. I think a lot of progress was made yesterday, but we have to make a lot
of progress. Mexicos been making for many, many years hundreds of billions of dollars. Theyve been making an absolute fortune on the United States. They have to step up and they have step up to the plate, and perhaps they will. Were going to see if we can solve the problem.
The democrats in Congress have been a disaster. They wont change, they wont do anything. They want free immigration, immigration to pour into our country. They dont care who it is, they dont care what kind of a record they have, it doesnt make any difference. Theyre not
going to be changing anything.
We go to em, we say, lets fix the immigration laws. They just want it to do badly. The worse it does, the happier they are. Thats the way it is and I guess thats the way itll be.
Frankly, we could solve this problem so easy if the Democrats in Congress were willing to make the changes. But theyre not... they just want to ride it out. They dont care about crime, they dont care about drugs pouring into our country. They couldnt care less. Its all politics, so thats the way it is.
But were having a great talk with Mexico. Well see what happens, but something pretty dramatic could happen. Weve told Mexico the tariffs go on, and I mean it too. And Im very happy with it. And a lot of people, senators included, they have no idea what theyre talking about when it comes to tariffs. They have absolutely no idea. When you have the money, when you have the product, when you have the thing that everybody wants, youre in a position to do very well with tariffs and thats where we are.
Were the piggy bank. The United States is the piggy bank. It has all the money that others want to take from us, but theyre not taking it so easy anymore. Its a lot different.
Our talks with China, a lot of interesting things are happening. Well see what happens. In the meantime, were getting 25 percent on $250 billion and I could go up another at least $300 billion, and Ill do that at the right time. But I think China wants to make a deal badly, I think Mexico wants to make a deal badly, and Im going to Normandy.
