Donald Trump’s decision to deny permission for President Lai to visit New York sends a dangerous signal: that the United States can be bullied by Beijing into silence on Taiwan. This is a victory for Xi — and let us hope it is not indicative of a dangerous change in U.S. policy.

BREAKING: Senate Intel ranking Dem Mark Warner turned away an intel analyst who worked on the ICA & approached his office "numerous times" to blow whistle on CIA Dir Brennan juicing bad intel on Russia and Trump, but Warner refused to even give him email address to send evidence.
Remember when Angela Davis bought weapons for a bunch of terrorists who then used the weapons to take over a courtroom in California and execute a judge with a shotgun. Also remember the time she visited the Berlin Wall on the East German side and laid a wreath for East German…

The Trump administration must reject sham talks with Khamenei’s regime—meant only to buy time to rebuild what the U.S. and Israel wrecked. The regime has never been weaker. Our leverage has never been greater. Don’t waste it. apnews.com/article/iran-u…

I disagree @smerconish @LannyDavis. If White House releases “Epstein files,” it will not be a 1-day story. Big Media will run stories on each nugget, stories on reactions, analyses of every angle. I’m not saying don’t release. I’m saying don’t expect release to change anything.
