Trump:

Numerous European Countries have been discussing the imminent implementation of a Digital Services Tax on American Companies.

Some are close to actually doing this.

Any Country that imposes such a Tax will immediately be met with a 100% TARIFF on any and all Goods sent to the United States.

This TARIFF will supersede Trade Deals made with the Country, whether implemented, signed, or not.

The 100% TARIFF will be immediately imposed, if they proceed.

Rep. Elise Stefanik:

The same people who organized that pro-Hamas encampment literally were the boots on the ground for Zohran Mamdani's campaign and then became the candidates who just defeated these Democrat sitting members of Congress.

So we are about to have full-blown communists serving in the United States House of Representatives.

That is un-American.

White House Faith Director Jenny Korn:

When people come to you and say, 'No, no, no, separation of church and state,' you stop them.

Separation of church and state means that the government can't dictate to you what religion you can be.

It does not mean you don't have a voice in your government.

You could say all day long, sure, the church get out of government.

Well, how about the government get out of church.

Iran's IRGC:

The claims by American officials about establishing a direct line of communication with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz are pure fabrication.

Agreement has been reached on two pilot areas from which Israeli forces will withdraw.

The timetable for withdrawal from the two pilot areas is a prelude to a full Israeli withdrawal later on.

Canada is an energy superpower.

Canada's CANDU reactors are used all over the world, in many different places from Argentina to Romania.

As the license holder of this technology, we would like to see further cooperation, particularly in nuclear energy.

I delivered the letter written by Minister Wilkinson to Minister Bayraktar so that discussions on CANDU can continue. These negotiations are still at the very beginning.

Canada is a leading country in these sectors, and we will continue to utilize our strength in this area.

Trump:

Communism is very easy to sell. I’d be the Greatest Communist in History. I’d give free rent, free houses, free food, everything is free. Unfortunately, after two or three years, the Country where this is taking place would fail. It always does, and then you’ll start living in squalor.

There will be no food, there will be no housing, there will be no Military, there will be no nothing. You’ll be Third World every way, and everyone will suffer or die. I’m sorry to say, but Assassinations of those who oppose them is a very important element of their Ideology. They’re animals! In many cases, not smart but, in some cases, they are.

It’s easy for them to get followers because they make promises that they know they can’t keep, and the Dumocrats aren’t fighting back. In many ways, they’re allowing them to go their own way. They’re afraid they will lose their Election, they’re afraid of conflict. They’re not smart enough or tough enough to fight this plague. If they fought them the way they fight Republicans, or me, they’d be victorious, but they don’t have the courage to do so.

These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists. This is the most serious threat to our Country since its existence 250 years ago. Isn’t it ironic, we’re celebrating a very important Birthday, and instead of speaking about Christ, Freedom, and Victories of all different kinds, we’re speaking about yet another threat to the Foundations of America.

These ruthless Communists will attack all Religions but, in particular, Christianity – They always do. All Communist Countries attack Religions violently. As you know, we recently struck Nigeria, and largely ended the slaughter of their Great Christian population. They know that if they go further, the attack will be far greater and, in that, they don’t want to get involved.

I am saving Christians throughout the World, even though we are not in those various Countries, by hitting these Terrorists violently and hard. They will close your Churches, they will kill your people. This is what they’re about. This is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago!

Israel and Lebanon signed a U.S.-brokered framework agreement in Washington, marking the start of formal cooperation talks.

Trump:

Religion is back in our country bigger and stronger than it has been in many many years.

Trump:

To be a great nation, you have to have religion and God.

If you don't have that, it just doesn't seem to work out, does it?
