President Donald Trump completed a successful tour of the Middle East that resulted in foreign investments surmounting to over $3.2 trillion. President Trump believes that $10 trillion in capital will flow to US, a staggering amount of money, equal to over half of the DIJA’s entire market cap. The $10 trillion figure remains aspirational rather than set in stone. American manufacturing declined under the last administration, but we are looking at a sharp uptick over the next few years.
The White House separately publicly disclosed $5.1 trillion in US investments, $2.1 trillion of which were derived from corporate investments and the rest from foreign capital. This falls short of Trump’s $10 trillion figure but still marks an impressive injection of capital into the US economy.
Technology is at the forefront, with investments pouring into Artificial Intelligence (AI). DataVolt, Humain, and G42, and other Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds plan to assist in funding AI development in the USA. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) pledged $1.4 trillion into US tech, AI, industry, and space. Saudi Arabia is also investing in American AI, along with energy, defense, and infrastructure, all to the tune of $600 billion. Qatar is sending $1.2 trillion to the US for developments in tech, infrastructure, and defense.
Japan has pledged to boost US investments by $1 trillion. However, $787.3 billion had been allotted for US investments back in 2023, and new capital from Japan should increase by $216.7 billion, which is still an impressive posting.
SoftBank, Oracle, and OpenAI are planning to invest $500 billion in American AI projects over the next four years, with an immediate investment of $100 billion. Now, $500 billion is an incredible amount that equates to 2% of US GDP.
NVIDIA alone is also planning a $500 billion investment in AI infrastructure. The company has moved its operations from Taiwan to the US to avoid tariffs and will begin manufacturing US AI supercomputers domestically.
Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that his corporation will spend “more than $500bn in the US over the next four years.” A new manufacturing plant is opening in Houston in 2026 and will be dedicated to AI projects. The company’s US Advanced Manufacturing Fund will double from $5 billion to $10 billion and provide thousands of new jobs.
IBM has also notably announced investment into US AI. The company plans to insert $150 billion into the US over the next five years. Over $30 billion will be spend on research and development on domestic manufacturing for quantum computers.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has also pledged $100 billion into US manufacturing. Also noteworthy, Roche ($50b), Bristol Myers Squibb ($40bn), and Johnson & Johnson ($55bn) plan to invest heavily in US biotech and pharmaceuticals.
American manufacturing is finally coming back to life after years of stagnation followed by a contraction. Capital is surging into the US at a rapid pace, although not as rapidly as some are suggesting. I have seen articles claiming that $10 trillion will magically appear in the US over the next 60-90 days but that is simply not how trade functions. US manufacturing should see an uptick, with an emphasis on AI development.

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton slams President Trump for insisting that Americans have more kids, arguing that is what immigrants are for. pic.twitter.com/7j1UeK92as
Hillary Clinton infamously blamed women for failing to secure the presidency. Clinton felt entitled to the female vote, but more women voted for Donald Trump than for Hillary Clinton. Instead of acknowledging that women are permitted to hold independent ideas and beliefs, she continually bashes women at every opportunity for not aligning with her views.
“They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me, because as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect. They were willing to take a risk on Trump, who had a long list of, let’s call them flaws, to illustrate his imperfection, because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander in chief,” Clinton said of her 2016 election fail.
In fact, Rodham–or Clinton, as she prefers her married name– believes that Republican women are unfit to lead. “Well, first of all, don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side of the aisle, except for very few,” Clinton said when asked if she had advice for a potential future woman president. “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood has been a popular portrayal of the far left who believe that allowing individual states to vote for abortion, a motion that was implemented by the US Supreme Court and not the president, is akin to a dystopian society where women are silenced and forced to reproduce.
Clinton said that there are a few conservative women, notably those who have attacked Trump, such as Liz Cheney, who are the rare exception. She then perpetuated the lie that is the Project 2025:
“It’s all in there—the return to the nuclear family, the return to being a Christian nation, return to producing a lot of children, which is sort of odd since the people who produce a lot of children are immigrants.”
Take that all in. Hillary was horrified that voters would like America to return to its roots, believing it would be an absolute tragedy if women had the CHOICE whether to work or raise a family, unlike today, where the economy simply does not allow one income to comfortably support a household in most situations. Children should be placed in expensive child care, run by the state, and parents should continue focusing on churning out taxable wages, and allow the system to raise the next generation.
Project 2025 has been debunked, but repopulation theory is alive and well. Hillary admits that immigrants here “legally and undocumented” produce “larger than normal—American standard—families.” The left in America and Europe are aggressively pushing mass migration not out of compassion, but out of desperation and control. When you destroy the economic incentive for families to grow through taxation, inflation, and debt—you kill natural reproduction. The West has done exactly that. Financial constraints are the number one reason that young adults are refraining from having children.
The left believes migrants will be engineered into dependency, relying on government welfare and therefore voting for the party that promises perpetual handouts. This is why lawmakers want to prohibit voter ID checks. It is why states are spending their funds on countless social programs for noncitizens. Traditional Western culture is conservative in nature. Replacing the population with people who do not adhere to the traditional Judeo-Christian ideology changes the dynamics of the population at large.
The traditional nuclear family does not revere the government. Friedrich Engels (pictured above), a pioneer of Marxism, argued against the nuclear family. He believed that the nuclear family perpetuated capitalism, private property ownership, and familial wealth, calling families a “unit of consumption.” Engels believed in communal living, polygamy or group marriage, and the removal of any private property. He argued that this was a feminist concept, as women in that time period were dependent on their husbands rather than the government.
As he writes in “The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State”:
“The significant characteristic of monogamous marriage was its transformation of the nuclear family into the basic economic unit of society, within which a woman and her children became dependent upon an individual man. Arising in conjunction with exploitative class relations, this transformation resulted in the oppression of women that has persisted to the present day.”
Marxism believes that the patriarchy controls women and the state controls men. It believes we should hand over all power to government who will ensure we are all equal—in poverty, as history has shown time and time again. Traditional roles, and gender roles, threaten Marxist philosophy, which is why we have seen gender identity become a massive controversy in recent years, with the left promoting a genderless society.
Hillary Clinton and everyone on the far left has damned the nuclear family because they uphold Marxist beliefs rooted in centralized government power and control.

The Hungarian Parliament voted to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a move that has rattled the European Union. The move comes weeks after Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, who the ICC wants, traveled to Hungary to visit Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The court of last resort, the idea of a global court came about post-World War II following the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials. The concept gained support once again during the Cold War era amid the slaughter that occurred in Yugoslavia. The Rwanda genocide brought about ad hoc tribunals and led world leaders to seek a global authority to prosecute crimes against humanity, specifically, genocide. The Rome Statute officially established the ICC on July 1, 2002, and received 60 ratifications to officially establish the international court that is located in The Hague, Netherlands. This treaty was negotiated within the United Nations framework, and Article 2 of the Rome Statute requires the ICC to adhere to UN guidelines in the “Negotiated Relationship Agreement.” The UN maintains that the ICC is independent.
Thomas Lubanga Dylio of the Democratic Republic of Congo was the first leader convicted by the ICC for conscripting child soldiers. His 14-year prison sentence ended in 2020. The majority of those who have faced trial are from African nations and have received minimal, if any, international backlash from the West.
Recently, the ICC has been honing in on alleged crimes in Venezuela, Ukraine, Gaza, the Philippines, and elsewhere as its influence expands. Orban has argued that the ICC is “no longer an impartial court, a rule-of-law court, but rather a political court.” Controversy has arrived as of latterly with the ICC hunting down both Putin and Netanyahu.
“Hungary firmly rejects the use of international organisations – in particular criminal courts – as instruments of political influence,” the bill, submitted by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen, said on parliament’s website. The measure to withdraw from the ICC passed in a 134-37 vote.
Hungary has learned a valuable lesson about surrendering sovereignty to a globalist entity where unelected officials create the rules. The ICC is no longer an impartial neutral entity but has been weaponized as a tool of the UN. The UN has failed to prevent virtually every major war since World War II—from Korea to Vietnam to Iraq to Ukraine. It talks endlessly, issues non-binding resolutions, and does nothing of substance except expand its bureaucracy and budget. The media is declaring Orban a traitor of the West, a puppet of Russia and Israel. The truth of the matter is that world leaders are becoming increasingly suspicious of globalist entities like the World Health Organization, UN, WEF, HRC, etc. because they see the clear goal of centralized control.

For seven straight minutes Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat and listened to criminal alien apologist Chris Van Hollen blast him for enforcing immigration laws, supporting MAGA foreign policy and revoking the guest visas for criminal protestors on college campuses. Van Hollen was trying to blast Rubio and fundraise from his far-left communist constituents. Rubio listened respectfully.
Then came the moment, “may I respond” asked Rubio, and within the response Senator Van Hollen completely lost his cool, shouted angrily at Rubio despite being told his time has expired, and was forced to listen to Senator Rubio inform him that yes, Rubio not only plans to revoke the visas of the agitators, but that Rubio had just asked for an even longer list of campus protesters who were recently arrested so he could personally ensure those visas were revoked. WATCH (prompted):

Marco has traveled a long way from his deep state chair on the SSCI.

As President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson departed a Republican conference meeting covering the pending legislative vote on the Budget and Tax bill proposal, they paused to talk to media (two videos below).
President Trump is focused on growing the economy, the Republican budget hawks want spending reduced. President Trump doesn’t want to increase the deduction for State and Local Taxes (SALT), the blue state Republicans demand the red states pay for their state tax policy. WATCH:
.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Trump’s Capitol Hill visit comes less than 24 hours before Johnson wants the House Rules Committee to meet and finalize the bill for a floor vote. Johnson told reporters after the meeting that a Wednesday vote “would be optimal” but acknowledged he had to “tie up a few loose ends” with the various factions.
What’s clear is that Trump himself is not interested in stretching out the talks much longer. He said in response to a question from POLITICO that the hard-liners needed to pare back their demands for deeper spending cuts: “I’m a bigger fiscal hawk,” he said. “There’s nobody like me.”
Despite Trump’s pledges to preserve Medicaid, the bill would have significant impacts on the program. The latest Congressional Budget Office analysis released Tuesday found that 7.6 million people would lose their Medicaid coverage if the House proposal became law. But the hard-liners want deeper, “structural” changes that target the program’s expansion under the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
Meanwhile, addressing the SALT group, he said that the tax break — one he pledged to expand last year while campaigning — mainly served to benefit blue-state governors and that the group of holdouts needed to accept the deal to modestly increase the existing $10,000 cap on the deduction.
A senior White House official said Trump “made it clear he’s losing patience with all holdout factions of the House Republican Conference,” and he “wants EVERY Republican to vote yes.”
One House Republican, also granted anonymity to candidly describe Trump’s attitude, summarized the president’s mood as, “He’s done with this.” (read more)

In order to understand where we are today, we must understand our journey by remembering its origin.
Context is needed in order to truly appreciate events soon upon us. A Big Hat Tip to Daniel Bocic Martinez who provides one of the most succinct encapsulations of the Hillary Clinton -vs- Barack Obama dynamic.
“Hillary Clinton didn’t trust Barack Obama because he was supposed to have waited his turn.
When the Bill Clinton presidential team in 2000 burrowed into the DNC, and installed HRC into the NY Senate seat, through heavy influence in primary machine politics, the Clintons were the happiest Dems in the country when W squeaked by Gore, leaving them in full control of the DNC money laundering operation for the duration of the W years.
“8 years of Bill, then 8 years of Hill,” was all going according to plan, with Hollywood planting Hillary as President “Easter eggs” throughout media of the 1990’s.
The 2008 primary was the culmination of their plan started decades earlier.
Obama’s 2004 DNC Speech and his Jefferson-Jackson speech were to place him as the heir apparent, but their lock over the DNC (and the superdelegates) was fait accompli.
Even Obama running a near flawless campaign wouldn’t have been enough on its own.
The factors that pushed him over the top, and that were outside his control, were 1) Hillary ran an abysmal campaign, due in large part to her abysmal interpersonal skills and genuine dislike of most human beings; and 2) then patriarch of the Kennedy political dynasty, Ted (whose always loathed the Clintons), pounced on the chink in HRC’s inevitability armor highlighted by her loss in Iowa (where she was outhustled in all 99 counties), and literally embraced Obama in New Hampshire shortly before the primary voting, and crowned Obama as heir apparent of what remained of the political capital once described as Camelot.
The superdelegate tsunami was stopped in its tracks and the rest is history.
With an embittered Hillary not ready to abandon decades of planning and ride off into the sunset, she first hoped McCain would somehow best Obama and then moved to burrow into his administration to maintain some level of control/access to the DNC money laundering operation her crime family ruled over for the better part of two decades.
Obama knew she would be disloyal outside of the administration, even worse in the Senate, spending each moment plotting a 2012 primary challenge (same reason she could never have been VP, she would have poisoned him if given the slot).
So, he made the Faustian bargain that would one day destroy his legacy and place in History and made her the one offer he knew she could not refuse, Secretary of State.
Out of sight, out of mind. He always cared more about his domestic agenda than foreign policy, and if she’s too busy selling political indulgences around the world, she’d put off 2012 primary ambitions and keep her eye on 2016.
Obama’s only obligation was to ensure that he did his part and ensure that his VP choose not to stand for President in 2016, which Biden dutifully complied with. HRC’s remaining embeds at the DNC then did their part in the 2016 primary and ensured the “mistake” of 2008 (heavily contested primary and near-infinite debates) was rectified.
The DNC went on to implement the “pied piper” strategy boosting Donald Trump in the early GOP primary, while being caught completely off guard as previously unknown Vermont Senate gadfly rallied the near plurality of Democrat primary voters who found her character and lack of authenticity repellant.
As the frailty of her campaign become apparent to threats from both Trump on the right and Bernie on the left, Hillary’s embeds in the administration at FBI/DOJ put their insurance plan into effect.
The FBI opened investigations into both [political] threads. For Bernie, the investigation targeted his wife and allegations of fraud surrounding a real estate transaction at her non-profit. For Trump, it was Crossfire Hurricane.
Neither was Obama’s operation by design but nonetheless happened under his watch and with the enthusiastic support of then VP Biden.
Once Trump finishes putting Chapter 9 of Art of the Deal into practice, it will be Obama’s lasting legacy.”
