[I present this with a qualifier that will become clear in a few days. Christmastime is not the time for such conversations, yet. However, thankfully we do not yet need to go too deep into motivations – we will soon.]

Secretary of State, National Security Advisor and National Archivist Marco Rubio, presents a short year in review recap of some of the topline geopolitical issues. WATCH:

Secretary Rubio has been doing a stellar job in his dual role as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor.  He has been one of the standout cabinet members in 2025 and deserves thankful recognition for his efforts.

Keep in mind, I spent 12 of his 14 years in the Senate skewering him for: (1) complying with McConnell, (2) going with the amnesty agenda (gang of eight), (3) supporting an interventionist foreign policy, (4) defending the corrupt elements in the deep state, (5) covering for Mark Warner’s covert activity on the SSCI (Russiagate), (6) and supporting sketchy shit.

That’s why I was blown away when Rubio, in 2025, admitted: (1) the Ukraine war was a proxy conflict between the USA and Russia, (2) the intelligence community lies, (3) the state dept has a duplicitous agenda, (4) USAID needed to be dissolved, (5) UNRWA was a corrupt money laundering operation, (6) and he would never get the votes now to be confirmed as Secretary of State.

Rubio made all of those six statements in 2025, while saying “this is the first time” he is not “constrained by the politics of running for office.”

I keep watching to see if there are backup boats on the horizon we do not see, because with absolute certainty, Rubio has burned all his Senate/Deep State support in his position as Sec of State/Nat Sec Advisor.

An absolutely stunning reversal is an understatement.
