Donald Of Arabia
While watching the scenes of President Trump’s arrival in Saudi Arabia this morning, I couldn’t help but remember how Joe Biden was received when he went to Saudi Arabia in 2022.
Before his summer visit, Biden cut off weapon sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to force them to stop fighting the Houthis, Iran’s terrorist proxy. He called the Saudi crown prince a “pariah.” Both nations were so furious with Biden, they refused to take his phone call.
By taking the side of Iran and the Houthis, Biden’s action resulted in a shutdown of international shipping in a very important region. Again, everything Donald Trump is doing is cleaning up the mess that Biden’s presidency left.
Trump dominates the world stage. Biden needed a map to find his way off a stage!
Joe Biden has been wrong about foreign policy his entire life. He is the only man to take the wrong position on every major foreign policy issue for forty years. Then Donald Trump comes along, and the Saudis roll out the red carpet for an American president like they have never done before.
Multiple CEOs, including Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, flew with Trump to Saudi Arabia. The Saudis and the UAE need help with artificial intelligence (AI) and defense, and we need their vast oil wealth to be invested in the U.S.
Today, President Trump signed a $600 billion economic deal with Saudi Arabia. Some analysts believe this deal will create 2 million new additional American jobs.
The sidebar conversations taking place are on another central issue -- Iran. No one in these meetings wants Iran to get a nuclear weapon. Nor does Israel, which is not an attendee.
A day does not go by without President Trump saying, “Iran will never get a nuclear weapon.” In a recent interview about Iran’s nuclear program, Trump said, “There are only two alternatives here, blow them up nicely or blow them up viciously.”
He also said that if Iran doesn’t agree to a verifiable nuclear deal, “I’ll be leading the pack” in destroying Iran’s nuclear program.
Here’s something else that many people have forgotten: Saudi Arabia and the UAE provided critical intelligence that helped to make Iran’s initial attack on Israel such a dramatic failure.
That unprecedented cooperation goes back to the first Trump administration’s success in getting several Arab nations to sign the Abraham Accords with Israel. He did it by getting the region to focus on their mutual enemy -- Iran.
Trump is also telling the Saudis that if they invest in America, we will help them with AI and defense, but there’s one requirement -- they have to decrease their ties with communist China, which desperately wants a foothold in the Middle East.
Here’s the bottom line: Big things are happening. But none of this would have happened under Joe Biden.
America Last
The Newark detention center for illegal aliens has become the Left’s latest pilgrimage site. Leftist political figures gathered outside the center last week to champion the cause of the criminal detainees.
Their level of anger and emotion was revealing. I haven’t seen so-called “progressives” this angry since the Supreme Court said there’s no abortion “right” in the Constitution.
Yesterday, the fake Christian religious Left also showed up in Newark.
Representatives of “mainline” Protestant churches locked arms and sang badly while they blocked the entrance to the Newark detention facility. They demanded the names of the illegal aliens locked up there so they could pray for each of them individually. They condemned the detention of the illegal aliens held inside.
Just to be clear, the illegal aliens in the Newark detention center are not folks from Guatemala who were detained while mowing suburban lawns. They’re not Uber drivers who recently arrived in America and are trying to eke out a living.
These are the worst of the worst. They’re gang members, drug dealers, rapists, child molesters, and murderers.
Never, over the last four years, did I see any “mainline religious leaders” asking for the names of crime victims who were harmed by criminal illegal aliens so they could pray for their families. Not once. I never saw any concern for the children whose bodies were dumped in creeks and ditches by illegal alien murderers.
When praying pro-life Christians were arrested and convicted during the Biden years, their faith was mocked by a judge and they were given long sentences. They were put into a hellhole of a Washington, D.C., prison for praying and singing at the entrance of an abortion clinic.
I did not see one “mainline religious leader” visiting them in jail, praying for them, and demanding their release. All of those pro-life Christians, by the way, are American citizens.
What is wrong with these “heavenly” church leaders who are defending criminal aliens?! They are siding with vicious criminals first and putting their fellow American citizens last.
The Religious Left
I don’t have the names of the Christian leaders who were outside the detention center yesterday. But even without knowing their names, I would bet the farm that they are the kind of people whose churches proudly display LGBTQ flags. I bet their denominations believe abortion is a sacrament that Jesus supports.
These people are not representing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are neo-Marxist leftists dressed up as leaders of the Church. If the Apostle Paul were alive today, he would not write them a letter of correction. He would kick them out of the sanctuary!
One of the many things that Jesus taught was our obligation to care for widows and orphans. There is no way under God’s heaven that Jesus would want Christians to make it as hard as possible to deport violent criminal aliens who create widows and orphans! He would be overturning tables in the church if someone tried to pin that on Him.
Due Process
All of these criminal aliens were hiding from justice, and justice demands that we find them. And because they are all obvious flight risks, they are imprisoned pending justice. As that justice plays out, they will get an appropriate level of due process for someone who evaded the legal immigration process and broke the law by entering our country illegally.
That does not mean every illegal alien gets a trial by a jury of their peers. A trial with a jury made up of other illegal aliens would be absurd. That does not mean they get a high-priced lawyer from a big law firm.
We routinely see trials of all kinds that take months or even years to resolve. That’s exactly what the Left wants for every one of the 20 million illegal aliens in America today. They are demanding due process that outlasts the length of the Trump administration. That’s also what these leftist religious leaders are demanding.
The Rule Of Law
Not only did Joe Biden and these so-called “church leaders” intentionally conduct an invasion of the United States for the basest of political reasons, they also severely undermined the rule of law.
For four long years, the American people saw how easily Biden threw open the gates to our country. Now, they are witnessing how Trump’s efforts to reverse it are being stopped a thousand different ways.
The American people are looking at this and asking, “Where is the equal protection of the law?” The people being protected by left-wing activists, judges, and politicians are not American citizens. They’re illegal aliens!
American citizens lost their jobs for refusing the “Fauci ouchy.” They were kicked out of the military. At the same time, Biden allowed millions of people into the country who were not vaccinated for anything.
Millions of Americans are scrambling to get a little star on their drivers’ licenses so they can board a flight to visit family or travel for business. But illegal aliens who walked into America were put on flights with no identification whatsoever.
The Left says illegal aliens deserve the same rights we have. But when Democrats are in power, they actually have more rights than citizens!
No Whites Allowed
The hypocrisy of the religious Left is on full display right now. Yesterday, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church formally ended the church’s involvement with the federal government’s refugee resettlement program.
The Episcopal Church has gotten tens of millions of taxpayer dollars over the years to bring more migrants into the country. You’ll recall that Bishop Mariann Budde chastised President Donald Trump from her pulpit at the Washington National Cathedral over his policies limiting immigration and refugee admissions.
So, why is the church abandoning its migrant ministry now?
Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe just made it clear that their concern for refugees doesn’t include white refugees. He refused to help resettle white South Africans fleeing persecution. Maybe the Justice Department should investigate the Episcopal Church for its blatant racism.
Wrong Again
For weeks now, all the so-called “experts” have been warning that President Trump’s tariffs would cause inflation to spike. They were wrong. Again.
The consumer price index (CPI), a key measure of inflation, was lower in April than expected, coming in at an annualized rate of 2.3%. That is the lowest level of inflation since the end of Trump’s first term. The four Biden years after that were an inflation nightmare.
Gas prices are down nearly 12% compared to a year ago, and egg prices fell nearly 13% last month, “the biggest decline since 1984.”
President Trump is bringing an end to “Bidenflation.”
