Trump is in the Middle East, drumming up investment for the country and for himself. It’s the “for himself” that is so worrisome. The Saudis have now agreed to spend more than $142 billion on the most advanced American weaponry over the next four years. Do we know, are we certain, that Saudi Arabia will […]
Qatar mobilizes support for Syrian president as Trump to remove US sanctions on Syria in major policy shift
A MEMRI article entitled, “Qatar Continues To Finance Terror With U.S. Consent: Will Fund Syria’s New Regime, Led By HTS Terror Organization, Just As It Funded Hamas,” examined the terrorist history of Syrian leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani, who reverted to his original name Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, to create a false impression that he had changed, even […]
Trump meets with Syria’s al-Sharaa, who led jihad group against Assad
In many ways this is as momentous, and could be more momentous, than Trump’s first-term overtures to Kim Jong Un. The two meetings come from the same wellsprings: Trump is attempting to break longstanding logjams, and end the status quo that the foreign policy establishment, both inside the U.S. and elsewhere, had come to take […]
Is a Biden Envoy Still Negotiating With Hamas?
“When I first got in and I was talking to Brett McGurk, who was the envoy on behalf of Biden” This may be a simple error by a media outlet, but if it’s not, this is deeply troubling. In response to an inquiry from Ynet, the White House did not deny reports of indirect contact with […]
Syria’s jihadist president offers a Trump Tower in Damascus if Trump will meet with him
He saw that the Qatari plane worked, and now all the jihad leaders think Trump can be bribed. That was just another reason why the Qatari plane was unwise to accept. “Report: Syria’s Jihadi Leader ‘Wants a Trump Tower in Damascus,’” by John Hayward, Breitbart, May 12, 2025: Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, the leader of […]
Trump hails ‘free’ plane as pro-Hamas Qatar in discussions to supply aircraft for use as Air Force One
Air Force One is not the personal property of the occupant of the White House, and so the criticisms about Trump enriching himself from a foreign government are out of focus. If Trump survives his presidency, he doesn’t get to take Air Force One home with him. Claims to the contrary appear to be unsubstantiated. […]
With a New Statue in the Oval Office, the Statue Wars Have Begun
New in PJ Media: As many have noted, there are in many ways two Americas now, with vastly different values. And just as all cultures celebrate their heroes in art, so also do leftists and patriots in America today. Leftists just installed a twelve-foot statue of an anonymous black woman who is very clearly not […]
Trump Announces US-Brokered India-Pakistan Ceasefire
New in PJ Media: Donald Trump promised to bring peace to global conflicts, and here we are. On Saturday morning at 7:55 a.m. ET, Trump posted this on Truth Social: After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE […]
Trump Asks Muslim Leaders ‘Do You Want to Die?’ and ‘What About the 38 Virgins?’
New in PJ Media: For the umpteenth time, Trump has just said some “bizarre” things that, upon closer examination, turn out to be entirely reasonable. As the establishment media is almost exclusively leftist, most reporters cover Donald Trump and his supporters as if they were strange alien beings. Tim Walz just boasted about his ability to “code […]
Liberation Day 2.0: Trump Terminates Federal Funding for NPR and PBS
New in PJ Media: On Thursday, President Trump gave Americans another Liberation Day: He signed an executive order ending federal funding for two of the left’s principal propaganda organs, National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean that these two vicious taxpayer leeches and leftist disinformation entities will disappear, […]
