Trump, impatient for a resolution, is reportedly considering scaling back U.S. involvement while simultaneously blaming the war on his predecessor, potentially signaling a shifting approach to the conflict.

Trump Says He Plans to Issue Unconstitutional Order Requiring Voter ID and Banning Mail Ballots, and this is a really thorny situation, isn’t it? It’s like watching a political tightrope walker without a net. The core issue here, as I see it, is that the former president is reportedly planning to issue an order, potentially an executive order, that would force everyone to show a specific form of identification to vote and, even more controversially, ban mail-in ballots. Now, the immediate red flag that pops up is the legality, or rather, the illegality, of such a move. The president simply can’t make laws like that.… Continue reading
President Trump has been criticized for deploying National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to address a fabricated crime wave, where they have been tasked with menial tasks such as spreading mulch and picking up trash. This deployment of approximately 2,000 soldiers is estimated to cost over $1 million per day.

This is seen as a wasteful use of taxpayer money and an insult to the soldiers’ service.

During a recent event promoting Western independence, former CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, Dennis Modry, claimed that officials in the Trump administration discussed providing Alberta with a $500 million transition loan to facilitate its independence from Canada.

These discussions took place during a meeting in Washington where Modry outlined the benefits of an independent Alberta, particularly its energy resources, to the United States. The separatist movement in Alberta, highlighted at the event, is driven by concerns over federal regulations, immigration policies, and a desire for greater alignment with American ideologies of small government and conservative values.

Anticipating the 2026 midterm elections, President Trump is actively intervening in ways unprecedented for a modern U.S. president. His strategy involves redrawing congressional maps, targeting voter rolls and mail-in voting, and using the Justice Department to investigate Democratic fundraising, actions that draw concerns about democratic integrity.
