Trump’s 2025 security strategy quietly reclassifies Europe from ally to leverage. It normalizes interference, weakens NATO, turns Ukraine into a bargaining chip, and trades the postwar order for short-term power. The cost will land on ordinary Americans. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/14TB...

A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

Trump's "national security strategy" declares the US will ally with Russia's dictatorship against our NATO allies, and makes the undermining of democratically elected European governments a US foreign policy goal.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.
