Zelensky:

I would not want us to lose America, in one form or another, in these negotiations.

I believe that this war is a priority for Europe, because the war is in Europe, and Europe is providing a great deal of assistance.

But when we talk about security guarantees for the future, we are talking about America.

Zelensky:

We expect to have the technical capability to produce our own missiles, as well as American missiles, using our own team by the end of 2026.

Iran sent Vice President JD Vance a private message accusing Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff of exploiting inside knowledge from U.S.-Iran negotiations for financial gain and leaking information, according to an anonymous Iranian official.

The Trump administration flatly denied that any such message was received and rejected the allegations as false.

Trump:

One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers. They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built.

Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State.

These Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD!

New York State has made a terrible decision. All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs.

They must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community.

Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them.

New York should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY. The Radical Left Dumocrats must not be allowed to cause us to lose Data Centers, AI, and all of this incredible new Technology, to China, and other countries!

Trump:

Amy Klobuchar, the lightly respected Senator from Minnesota, is running for Governor to take the place of the current Corrupt and Incompetent Tim Walz.

I have gotten to know Klobuchar over the years, and find her to be equally as incompetent as Walz, and probably equally as corrupt in that, as a high Government Official from Minnesota, she knew everything that was going on.

If the Elections in Minnesota weren’t RIGGED, any Republican could win, but they were, and that is why nobody has won there since Richard Nixon many years ago.

I thought I won it all three times, only to be disappointed in the end.

Vote for Mike Lindell for Governor, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and forget about these Corrupt Dumocrats like Amy Klobuchar.

MAKE MINNESOTA GREAT AGAIN!

Iran's Ghalibaf:

We have never welcomed war, nor do we welcome it now, but we must always be prepared for battle and stand firm to protect our national security and interests.

We must also use diplomacy and negotiation to achieve and solidify our national interests.

Iran's Ghalibaf:

Are we seeking war? Will the war and the shadow of war end?

Can we achieve our goals through negotiation?

What is the point of negotiating with a deceitful America?

Iran's Ghalibaf:

America seeks to strike at Iran and advance its interests at any time it can, and this is not limited to war, negotiation, or just the current U.S. president.

Our approach, whether in war or negotiation, must be based on national interests and security, realistic, and long-term.

Therefore, we have no choice but to rely on our own capabilities and become stronger.

Arab leaders have been telling President Trump that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an obstacle to regional peace, a message that is said to be influencing his views.

CENTCOM:

At 3 p.m. ET, U.S. forces launched operations for a second wave of strikes today against Iran.

The strikes are targeting Iranian military capabilities used to threaten vessels freely transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, an international waterway vital to global commerce.

The U.S. military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief's direction.

JD Vance:

Epstein clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence.

Epstein seemed to be connected to the elements of the Israeli deep state that were left of center. I've always found that fascinating.

It wasn't like he was super connected to the right of center of Israeli politics.

Hungary's former Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has resigned from parliament to join Chinese EV giant BYD in a senior global role, effective immediately.

Szijjártó — one of Orbán's closest allies and the face of Hungary's pro-China foreign policy for over a decade — will lead BYD's external relations and new business development at the group level.

He was the key political facilitator behind BYD's massive Hungarian investments: an electric bus factory in Komárom, Europe's first BYD passenger car plant in Szeged, and a European HQ and R&D center in Budapest — all backed by significant state subsidies.

Fidesz is framing it as "the most significant Hungarian corporate leadership position in the world."

New PM Péter Magyar called it what it looks like: "From now on the actual employer pays him, not Hungarian taxpayers."

JD Vance on Trump:

The idea that Donald Trump is being blackmailed is crazy to me. I see the way that he processes this stuff.

The idea that he picks up the phone with anybody and says, "Hey, I'm going to take orders from you"—no.

That's just not how Donald Trump operates.
