    I want to take a second and share my thoughts on how Trump handled his trip to Beijing. He flew 20 hours from Washington, D.C. to Beijing. His schedule was "extreme", including intense meetings, a state banquet, visits to historical sites, working dinners and lunches, and private discussions. He helped arrange billion-dollar deals, discussed critical issues such as Taiwan and Iran, and met one-on-one with Xi Jinping. His day was so packed that much of it was scheduled in 15-minute segments. At the end of the trip, he did a one-hour interview with Sean Hannity. He sounded lucid, level-headed, and capable. His confidence and clarity during the interview were impressive.

    I mention this because there has been a good deal of speculation that Trump has dementia or is experiencing cognitive decline. Even if you hate Trump, it’s hard to honestly believe he is impaired in any way, given his performance over the last three days. The media and Democrats will take words, facts, and events out of context in an effort to make people believe this lie. Don't fall for it. If you hate Trump for his policies, that is understandable, but if you repeat the lies of the media and those attempting to destroy the West............well, that is another thing altogether.

    For the first time, a U.S. president has called for a “national Sabbath.”
    From Friday evening to Saturday night, Jewish Americans are being encouraged to pause - to rest, reflect, and give thanks.
    It’s part of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States.

    US President Donald Trump encouraged Americans to observe Shabbat ahead of a national prayer rally marking the country’s 250th anniversary, drawing both praise and criticism from Jewish groups.

    Is Trump’s Shabbat Call a Prophetic Sign?

    Messianic
    @paulwilburmin
    claims America had lost touch with the Sabbath.

    “Trump has become the first US president to call for a national Shabbat. Did I see this coming? Honestly, never in a million years.”

    Personally I think there's evidence that Biden's and Trump's dementia are managed by the zionist deep state. By means of drugs or other mind control methods. Yep, Biden and Trump have many similarities.

    Much of the policies and decisions that they've been implementing were based on irrational and even fraudulent premises that Biden and Trump seem to have little control of: open borders with mass immigration of illegal aliens, bioweapon labs, covid scamdemic, tocix covid jab, active participation in Israel's genocide of Palestinians, cover up of the Epstein files, unprovoked attack on Iran that cause the entirely predictable closure of the strait of Hormuz that could tank world economies, etc.

    The latest is that Trump is now claiming that his attacking Iran is helping China!

    Trump Walked Into China and Killed Kissinger's Thucydides Trap



    Promethean Updates
    May 17, 2026
    Summary:
    00:00 The Saturday Wrap-Up - Trump Walked Into China and Killed Kissinger's Thucydides Trap - May 16, 2026
    02:43 The Real Power Trump Brought to Beijing
    09:56 Inside the British Cookbook

    Susan Kokinda analyzes President Trump’s May 14 post responding to Xi Jinping’s remarks about the “Thucydides Trap,” arguing media coverage framed the U.S. as declining while Trump asserted America’s renewed strength. She says the summit’s real significance was Trump bringing an unprecedented delegation of top U.S. CEOs into the bilateral meeting and including the Defense Secretary, breaking a post-1972 pattern.

    Kokinda highlights Trump raising denuclearization directly with Xi and rejecting war-driven “geopolitical trigger points,” including on Taiwan, emphasizing avoiding a distant war.

    She contends the Thucydides Trap concept popularized by Graham Allison is British-influenced “fake history” that obscures imperial manipulation, and claims Trump is dismantling that paradigm by reviving the American System—tariffs, manufacturing, and energy independence.


    Susan Kokinda quote ... " British geopolitics in fermenting most of those wars. But look at number 11, the one that didn't result in war. The one where America outpaced the British without a war. Well, that's not an anomaly.

    That's actually the key because during that same period, British financial and foreign policy institutions, the round table, Chattam House, the Council on Foreign Relations, they systematically colonized the American foreign policy establishment from the inside. There didn't have to be a war because Britain took over America's foreign policy institutions by and large.

    Now that's over. Trump and his team have exited that imperial world. They're openly rejecting globalism. They're kicking over the geopolitical chessboard.

    And most importantly, they're reviving the American system, which gives the United States the independent economic strength to act.

    Again, look at the industry leaders that Trump brought with him to China. and look especially at the manufacturing revolution that is underway in the United States right now and the fact that Donald Trump has established our energy independence.

    All of this gives us the freedom to act in our interests and not be controlled by the empire. This is not happening by accident. It's happening because the Trump administration has not only thrown off British geopolitics, it has thrown off the British system of and it is publicly reviving the American system of political economy."

    Thomas Massie: "This race turned into a referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress."

    "Rep. Massie (R-KY): I’m walking to an airplane to rejoin the most expensive congressional race in U.S. history. It’s turned into a referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress. And what they found out is that my seat is really expensive. By the time this is over, they will probably have spent $20 million and come up short.
    I’ve never seen Great Britain, Australia, or even Germany play in our elections here in the United States. But Israel gets so much from the United States.
    It’s a one-sided relationship. They get us to be their proxies in wars they want against their enemies. They get our military assistance. They get our technology. They get our bombs. They get our tax dollars.
    And I think it’s a very one-sided relationship. At least with NATO, we pretend that they would come to our aid someday if we needed it—and even that’s a ruse."

    MILITARY OPERATION AI DATA CENTERS: A Special Report
    THIS. IS. THE. HILL. TO. DIE. ON.

    (by Administrator, The Burning Platform)

    May 16, 2026

    Editor’s Note: It simply does not get bigger than the ongoing “MILITARY OPERATION AI DATA CENTERS”. Which means that this one really is the hill for every American to die on lest they be exterminated in those communities under direct attack by this long planned, highly organized and extremely stealthy conspiracy to commit genocide against the American people.

    “If humanity doesn’t stop the data centers soon……”
    People, Patriots & Populace: Nothing will bring wreck and ruin to the American Republic like OPERATION AI DATA CENTER. (See: Exposing The Dark Side of America’s AI Data Center Explosion)

    Talk about “The Barbarians Are Inside The Gate” as they push a massive herd of AI Trojan horses into every locale across the USA that they have targeted for destruction and complete control.

    OVER 3,000 SURVEILLANCE CENTERS BUILT OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND…..
    Truly, that the NWO predatory perps have even gotten so far so quickly with OPERATION AI DATA CENTER ought to tell every single one of US that if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu. Which means that, going forward, all of US are facing existential threats from one direction or another, and not just from this rapidly unfolding AI cataclysm.

    KEY POINTS: Trump has consistently proven to be a very willing genocidal maniac by way of various highly misguided presidential initiatives. There was the unparalleled catastrophe known as Operation Warp Speed which saw the extremely deadly and dangerous Covid ‘vaccines’ rolled out as a completely untested and highly weaponized injection. Prior to that, Trump initiated the military deployment of 5G across America without any testing for safety and adverse effects on human health. At the start of his second term, his very first announcement was about the “Stargate Project”—an unprecedented $500 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure initiative to build a colossal nationwide network of AI data centers without any public input or consideration of the calamitous effects on numerous cities and counties in all 50 states. (This military op is being executed under the false rubric of “National Security” in order to swiftly overcome any resistance whatsoever in locales that are dug in against it.)

    Now here’s a brief overview excerpted from the exposé posted below of this perfect superstorm now blowing across America leaving unprecedented damage to communities large and small.

    The quite predictable and therefore highly intentional catastrophic AI data center impacts which are already destroying communities are as follows:

    First, thermal pollution: data centers dump immense heat into the environment, raising nighttime temperatures and disrupting local ecosystems.

    Second, the water crisis: billions of gallons are stolen from communities, as documented in my report on the backlash.

    Third, massive energy consumption is driving up costs for everyone and forcing reliance on fossil fuels. Texas has approved the nation’s largest air pollution permit for a 7.65-gigawatt natural gas and data center complex — a verdict of death for air quality.

    Fourth, air quality degradation, noise pollution, and wildlife devastation create a perimeter of death around every large-scale data center.

    Fifth, land use displaces ranching and farming, logging and mining, with no oversight.

    Sixth, the PJM Interconnection has warned of a grid collapse as AI servers and retiring coal plants collide, with servers now consuming twice as much power as older models.”

    (The online article has an interactive map of USA AI data centres, and full report by Mike Adams of Natural News)

    As a Canadian who's posted many comments critical of I$rael on social media, I know that I need to stay away from USA like my life depended on it. They'd put me in jail the moment I step into the country. Looks like folks from many other countries feel the same.

    Must read the online comments below the following video.

    "Our latest report indicates a significant "tourism decline" in the "united states", with fewer foreign visitors spending in 2025. This trend, highlighted in recent "us news", signals a potential "economic crisis" impacting local businesses. The slowdown in "international travel" to the "usa" is a key factor in this shifting economy."

    "In this segment, Jimmy says that the only way for Americans to regain control of their government and intelligence agencies is through a worker strike—railroad workers, port workers, UPS drivers, Amazon fulfillment workers, and grocery workers refusing to work for a week—to bring capitalism to its knees, but that union leaders must be willing to go to prison because these strikes will be criminalized. He contrasts this with "no kings" marches, which he says are “psyops" designed to funnel revolutionary energy back into the two-party system because they have no concrete demand—noting that when a giant protest lacks a demand, it is a setup."

    "Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson suggests that Russia's collapse in the 1990s and recovery under Putin offers a model for how societies can emerge from "totalitarian" systems, but warns that America must first pass through a "very dark time.” Jimmy concludes that those who voted for Biden or Harris have no moral superiority over Trump voters, pointing out that Democrats crushed a railroad strike, forced experimental medical treatments on workers, started a proxy war with a nuclear power, and funded a genocide—and that the only way to escape the oligarchy is for workers to rise up with a single demand: publicly funded elections."

    Barbara Boyd argues the key outcome of Trump’s China visit was the personal trust between Trump and Xi, symbolized by Xi’s “secret garden” tour previously reserved for Putin, and framed as establishing guardrails for U.S.–China strategic and tech competition amid the Iran war and energy geopolitics.

    She says London and Democrats are “screaming” because Trump is reshaping global economic relationships while Treasury Secretary Bessent lifts U.S. sanctions on Russian exports.

    The episode targets Mark Carney and Keir Starmer as City of London figures who tried to capture China finance, advance BRICS as a dollar alternative, promote a synthetic reserve currency via CBDCs, and steer $130T through green finance—efforts Boyd says have failed as Trump reverses “Green New Deal” policies. She highlights DOJ election-rigging probes, renewed scrutiny of “Russiagate,” anti-fraud prosecutions, voter backlash, and insurgent politics in Los Angeles and London.

    As a Canadian who's posted many comments critical of I$rael on social media, I know that I need to stay away from USA like my life depended on it. They'd put me in jail the moment I step into the country. Looks like folks from many other countries feel the same.
    Well ... maybe if you're as famous and influential as John F Kennedy or Charlie Kirk were ...

    But that's not the USA that the rest of us here know.
    Maybe you haven't heard about this, but many Canadians have actually been detained without charge in ICE prisons for extended periods of time, and in terrible conditions. Many are still behind bars. Here's just one example:

    I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

    Wait until this little firecracker goes off, when the world finds out the Ballroom is in actual fact a Throne room.

    The extra Billion is the peoples donation for all the bells and whistles.

    How many emperors had thrones built onto lakeside structures?

    I don't know, and will probably never have access to, the real reason those Canadians were imprisoned.

    In other words, I've little doubt but that many Texans have been similarly imprisoned. I'm a Texan myself. Perhaps those imprisoned Texans are imprisoned for what I would consider good reason, perhaps not. If that issue rises to near the top of my list of things to fuss over this week (the list of issues with the potential for justifying such a fuss is way longer than I will get to in this lifetime), then I might well agree with the imprisonment, or I might well be outraged.

    But just because "He's Texan, he's in prison; I'm Texan, therefore ARRGH - the bars are already closing around me!" does not follow in my book.

    This is sure getting international attention, because it has big international implications, such as potential WW3.

    Trump vs Massie in Kentucky: Is Israel breaking MAGA?
    The Israel lobby is breaking spending records to oust Rep. Thomas Massie


    The most expensive primary election in US history is underway in Kentucky, as President Donald Trump and the Israel lobby try to unseat Representative Thomas Massie, a hardline conservative who broke with the president over Israel, Iran, and Epstein.

    Pro-Israel groups have pumped more than $10 million into Tuesday’s primary, which pits Massie against Ed Gallrein, a military veteran who ran an unsuccessful Senate campaign in 2024.

    The election is a flashpoint in a wider battle being waged on the American right, with an ever more neoconservative Trump embracing the Bush-era interventionism of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senator Lindsey Graham, and publicly denouncing former ‘America First’ allies such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson.
