The Bush family, whose neoconservative war-hawk policies dragged America into catastrophic Middle East quagmires costing trillions and countless lives, is plotting a brazen political comeback, even as voters from all sides have rejected their reckless globalist agenda.
Despite George P. Bush’s humiliating 2022 defeat in the Texas attorney general GOP primary, Jonathan, a former health care executive, is testing the waters with an exploratory committee and a new nonprofit, “Maine for Keeps,” aimed at tackling the state’s economic and housing woes. The Bangor Daily News reported that George W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush rolled out the red carpet for their cousin at a swanky Kennebunkport fundraiser this week.

According to Brandon Rottinghouse, a University of Houston political science professor, Bush-style politics are “like the anti-MAGA” and that the “tone and issue profile of most modern Republicans are different from the Bush family politics,” adding “Republican primary audiences are now conditioned to a more aggressive breed of conservatism, one district from the Bush family political legacy.”
Meanwhile, Ronald Schmidt, professor of political science at the University of Southern Maine, told Newsweek that there are still Republicans in the state who would support a Bush.
The face of yet another elite faction vying for American power.
I would not be at all surprised if this faction were behind the assassination attempt on Trump, or closely associated with whomever did it.
I do see the notion that the assassination was political theater made to help Trump, but believe the odds of that are low.
There are many elite factions who bear on USA — European royal families, Jewish Supremists, the Bushes, often aligned with the Clintons. We also have Thiel, Musk, and the tech bros; the CCP and more.
This list is long depending how far down the power structure you go or how widely you cast your net. ABN
A great and very successful day in Alaska! The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European Leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up. President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people’s lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Fox News host Bret Baier was given exclusive access to President Trump during the much-anticipated summit in Alaska.
Baier interviewed President Trump on Airforce One going to Anchorage and during the day’s events. In this interview, Baier asked President Trump what his expectations were going in. Trump noted it is not his place to negotiate the terms of a ceasefire on behalf of Ukraine; however, he is willing to be an intermediary in a focused effort to stop the conflict.
Stopping the killing is President Trump’s main priority and peace is the elusive prize. In the background, as previously noted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the administration accepts the conflict in Ukraine is essentially a proxy war between the former Biden administration officials, NATO warmongers, international banking interests and Russia.
In a moment of genuine sunlight upon the backstory, President Trump notes he told President Putin, “There’s no way we are going to make a deal” … “impossible” … “because I have wise guys who created a phony deal,” the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, “and until those things are settled up” a reset in the relationship with Russia is impossible. WATCH:
This framework essentially validates what a small group of deep weeds walkers, including myself, have suspected. From the perspective of Trump and his big picture objectives, the recent Russiagate releases and declassifications are not so much to get accountability upon the perpetrators, but rather to make the backstory so well known that a strategic reset with Russia is no longer impeded by manufactured domestic issues inside the USA.
The value in Russiagate declassification and information releases, is more about laying the groundwork for a reset – and stopping the political opposition therein. That’s the Big Picture value to President Trump.
That is quite a big and significantly magnanimous position to take by President Trump.
Hopefully, the MAGA base will eventually come around to this understanding, because right now they are intensely expecting criminal accountability. That’s not President Trump’s goal, he’s thinking much bigger and more consequential that holding the irrelevant gnats accountable.
Apparently, Hillary Clinton can see that. It’s such a big altruistic position her tribe appears genuinely stunned. Hopefully, the base of MAGA will also accept this strategic purpose.
While the 885 fake websites were not established to influence public opinion, today, the U.S. government sponsors thousands of journalists worldwide for precisely this purpose. Earlier this year, the Trump administration’s decision to pause funding to USAID inadvertently exposed a network of more than 6,200 reporters working at nearly 1,000 news outlets or journalism organizations who were all quietly paid to promote pro-U.S. messaging in their countries.
Oksana Romanyuk, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Mass Information, warned that nearly 90% of her country’s media outlets rely on funding from USAID to survive. A survey of 20 leading media organizations in Belarus revealed that 60% of their budget came from Washington. In Iran, more than 30 anti-government groups came together for a crisis response meeting, while in Cuba and Nicaragua, anti-government press resorted to soliciting donations from readers.
The CIA has also successfully infiltrated the largest and most popular social media networks, giving the agency substantial control over what the world sees (and does not see) in their news feeds.
Facebook has hired dozens of former CIA officials to run its most sensitive operations. Perhaps the most notable of these individuals is Aaron Berman.
As the platform’s senior misinformation manager, Berman ultimately has the final say over what content is promoted and what is demoted or deleted from Facebook. Yet, until 2019, Berman was a high-ranking CIA officer, responsible for writing the president’s daily security brief. It was at that time that he jumped ship from Langley to Facebook, despite appearing to have little relevant professional experience.
Google, if anything, is even more saturated with former spies.
I doubt the idea of this is new to readers of this site. The article above provides a concise overview of how some of the spying and mind-control has been done, both domestically and abroad. Well-worth a quick read. ABN
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Alaska.
Trump shared the ground-breaking statement via his Truth Social social media platform where he described the meeting as ‘highly anticipated,’ though few details were provided.
The summit would be the first face-to-face meeting between the two world leaders since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine in 2022 under President Joe Biden.
‘The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,’ Trump wrote.
‘Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’
The insane level of cope since Sunday’s EU Trade deal announcement has been hilarious to watch… from the US haters who believed their own bullshit about American weakness as well as from the Europhiles who somehow really did think the US needs the EU to prosper.
It seems the counter narrative that has been hastily ginned up is, “This will never pass the EU Parliament…so it’s all bullshit from Trump,” however is the absolute worst.
Because, let’s think this through shall we…
1) Von der Satan just barely passed a vote of No Confidence earlier in the month. She’s already damaged goods.
2) Trump has the goods on EU and UK malfeasance involving the 2016, 2020 and 2022 US elections, and he sent @DNIGabbard over to London before dropping the bombs on them. What was presented is likely a lot bigger than just rigging our elections, think Pfizer shots, biolabs, NGO money laundering in Ukraine and more.
3) If the EU parliament goes against Von der Fuhrer over this deal, then that weakens the EU even further as countries who can get a better deal from Trump individually will do so.
4) Parliament will be a mess as an aftershock. Old coalitions held together through blackmail, arm-twisting, threats to withhold funding, etc. will splinter.
5) Chaos in Brussels will be met with across the board selling of EU debt as the only hope the market has right now is the promise of them spending “trillions” on defense. This is why the DAX is up 21% in 2025, and trading at near all-time-highs both in nominal and valuation terms (P/E ~19).
For these reasons (and more), the whole talking point about parliament is a non-starter. None of the feckless Eurocrats who hold marginal power in that chamber will do anything other than froth at the mouth like @guyverhofstadt.
But, they will always, in the end, vote for more of what got them here.
Now, if you want to talk why this deal may have a silver lining for the EU, it would be this… that Trump used their desperation for 1) a deal, 2) his support for their insane war in Ukraine and 3) to collapse their economy to consolidate power in Brussels to get everything he wanted…
He can then do what he did today, issue a stronger message to Russia to end the conflict on less than perfect terms for them while he guts their biggest threat (the EU) through reversing the capital flow back to the US.
There may still have to be a NATO attempt in Ukraine which will be bloody for everyone if it happens. But it may be the only way for the people in Europe to be shocked out of their complacency.
First Trump crushes their EU leadership, then add in a couple hundred thousand dead in Ukraine… that’ll leave a mark politically.
The reality of the U.S-Canada economic relationship and the position of President Donald Trump is not that difficult to understand if you take all the disparate datapoints and quotes from Trump and put them into context.
During a White House meeting with Mark Carney, President Trump essentially told the Canadian Prime Minister why he was in no hurry to get to a deal with Canada.
The 35% tariffs on non-USMCA goods are going to trigger on August 1st, because the main priority of Trump -looking toward Canada- is to dissolve the USMCA.
During the May 6th oval office meeting with Carney, President Trump was discussing the USMCA and said: ” “as you know it terminates fairly shortly. It gets renegotiated fairly shortly.” … “This was a transitional deal, and we’ll see what happens, we’re going to start renegotiating that” … “I don’t know if it serves a purpose anymore.” …. “And the biggest purpose it served was, we got rid of NAFTA.”
To understand why President Trump wants to dissolve the USMCA {SEE HERE}. To understand the technical value of dissolving the USMCA {SEE HERE}. It’s not a complicated economic analysis; it’s common sense.
Currently, approximately 60% of the traded goods and services between the U.S. and Canada are covered by the USMCA, the remaining 40% will be hit by tariffs on August 1st at a 35% rate.
When the USMCA is renegotiated, predictably dissolved in favor of two bilateral trade agreements – one for Mexico and one for Canada, all of the U.S-Canada trade sectors will be part of the enlarged free trade negotiation. As a result, there is absolutely no motive to engage in trade discussions now.
