  3. Who else could have given this speech ? "Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts and tired divisions of the past..." "... and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together — not bombing each other out of existence. This great transformation has not come from Western interventionists… giving you lectures on how to live or how to govern your own affairs. No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called ‘nation-builders,’ ‘neo-cons,’ or ‘liberal non-profits,’ like those who spent trillions failing to develop Kabul and Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought about by the people of the region themselves … developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions, and charting your own destinies. In the end, the so-called ‘nation-builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built — and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves...."

  4. Federal Magistrate Drops Charges Against 100 Aliens Trespassing in New Mexico Military Zone Magistrate Wormuth ruled in the dismissals that the federal government failed to prove sufficiently that the illegal aliens facing charges of trespassing onto the designated military property knew they were entering the New Mexico National Defense Area. https://www.breitbart.com/border/2025/05/16/federal-magistrate-drops-charges-against-100-aliens-trespassing-in-new-mexico-military-zone/ .
  5. Where's “No Tax on Social Security? I found out. Congress CAN NOT alter Social Security through budget reconciliation (the Big Beautiful Bill) because of The Byrd Rule. It simply isn't allowed. The Byrd Rule in the Senate prohibits provisions in budget reconciliation bills (which require only a simple majority to pass) from directly altering Social Security. This rule classifies changes to Social Security, such as eliminating taxes on benefits, as "extraneous" to budgetary reform unless they are incidental to the budget process. To eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, Congress would need to pass a standalone bill, which requires 60 Senate votes to overcome a potential filibuster. With a closely divided Senate, securing bipartisan support for such a measure is difficult, especially if Democrats oppose it due to fiscal concerns.
