🚨Poland is no longer the poor cousin of Europe.

It’s now a $1 trillion economy, NATO’s 3rd-largest military, and the linchpin against Russia.

Trump just promised to elevate Poland to the G20.

This changes the entire map of Europe. 🧵 Image
Image
2/ In 1989, Poland was among the poorest nations in Europe—crushed by Communism.

Today, it’s an economic powerhouse, growing faster than most EU states, and on track to hit $1 trillion GDP in 2025.

That’s why Trump is backing Poland’s bid to join the G20. Image
3/ Militarily, Poland is no joke.

It now fields NATO’s 3rd-largest army, behind only the U.S. and Turkey.

Billions invested in tanks, jets, and drones.

And unlike Germany or France? Poland actually takes defense seriously. Image
4/ Geography makes Poland the pivot of Europe.

It sits:

➡️ West of Ukraine
➡️ East of Germany & France
➡️ South of the Baltic States

If Russia pushes west, it must go through Poland.

That’s why Warsaw actually matters more than Paris or Berlin. Image
5/ Right now, the U.S. has 10,000 troops in Poland.

Trump has promised more.

That presence, combined with Poland’s own firepower, is what turns any future Putin war from a threat…into a gamble he can’t afford to make. Image
6/ Remember: Russia has never fought a full-scale war against a modern NATO military.

Facing Ukraine is one thing. And even that hasn't worked as planned.

Facing Polish and American forces together? That would collapse Putin’s war machine in weeks. Image
7/ This is a big part of why Poland’s rise matters:

✅ Economic dynamism
✅ Military modernization
✅ Geography as NATO’s front line

Poland is becoming the pivotal power in Europe, a true major regional power and the latest entrant on the global stage. Image

🚨 HUGE: Trump is building what Victor Davis Hanson calls a new War Production Board—this time for AI, biotech, and national security.

Just as FDR mobilized industry in WWII, Trump is enlisting America’s tech titans to secure U.S. dominance in the 21st century.

THREAD 🧵 Image
2/ Last week at the White House, Trump assembled some of the most powerful CEOs in the world:

➡️ Tim Cook (Apple)
➡️ Sundar Pichai (Google)
➡️ Mark Zuckerberg (Meta)
➡️ Bill Gates (Microsoft)
➡️ Sam Altman (OpenAI)
➡️ Arvind Krishna (IBM)

Even his critics showed up. Image
3/ The mission? 🇺🇸

➡️ Ensure America dominates AI, robotics, biotech & crypto.
➡️ Stop China from stealing our breakthroughs.
➡️ Keep jobs and innovation on U.S. soil.

Trump’s deal: no picking winners, no EU-style regulation—just unleash American innovation. Image

🚨BREAKING: Trump’s DHS just launched Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago.

It’s targeting criminal illegal aliens protected by Gov. Pritzker’s sanctuary policies—policies that have turned Chicago into a war zone.

Here it comes... 🧵 Image
2/ The operation is named after Katie Abraham—killed by a drunk-driving illegal alien in a hit-and-run.

“This ICE operation will target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago & Illinois because they knew Gov. Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them.” Image
3/ Agents are already stationed at Naval Station Great Lakes, just north of Chicago.

The base is providing logistics, facilities, and infrastructure to ICE.

This is not just talk. It's intricately planned. And it’s happening. Image

🚨 THIS WEEK IN HISTORY 🚨

On Sept. 7, 1630, the Puritans founded Boston—the original “city upon a hill.”

They came for faith, for freedom, and built the seedbed of the American Revolution.

Our liberty story starts here. 🇺🇸

THREAD 🧵 Image
2/ The Puritans were persecuted in England.

So in 1630, 1,000+ men, women, and children sailed across the Atlantic in 11 tiny wooden ships under Governor John Winthrop.

They weren’t chasing wealth. They sought to plant a godly community where freedom could flourish. Image
3/ Winthrop’s vision was clear:

“For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us.”

It was a warning and a mission. America was to be a light to the nations. 🌍 Image

🚨 LET’S HOPE IT’S TRUE 🚨

Democrats are FURIOUS because, by their count, Trump has withheld or canceled $412 BILLION in spending.

That’s right: nearly half a TRILLION in swamp waste frozen.

At that rate of cuts, Trump could eliminate the deficit in two years!

THREAD 🧵 Image
Image
2/ Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) made the claim:

👉 124 programs
👉 $412 BILLION
👉 Frozen by Trump’s Office of Management and Budget

They even built a “tracker” to whine about how much pork Trump is killing. Image
3/ What waste got cut? A few highlights:

❌ $8.9B in NIH “research” slush funds
❌ $500M to CDC bureaucrats
❌ $19.5B in VA contracts
❌ $96.7B in FEMA handouts for illegal aliens
❌ $37B to USAID foreign aid scams

Trump is starving the swamp beast. 🐊🔥 Image

🚨 China just spent $5 BILLION on its biggest military parade since 1949.

But here’s the truth Beijing doesn’t want you to know:

👉 Most of the weapons on display were copied U.S. tech.
👉 Much of it is for show, not combat.
👉 And the cracks are showing.

THREAD 🧵Image
2/ The parade rolled out hypersonics, lasers, drones, & new missiles.

But analysts point out:

• Medium-range missile = copy of U.S. SM-3
• KJ-600 early warning aircraft = copy of U.S. E-2 Hawkeye
• Naval drones = glorified “suicide boats”

💡 China is playing dress-up with stolen blueprintsImage
3/ And that's not all.

Unlike U.S. systems—tested in combat, refined through decades—China’s copies are unproven.

Example: The KJ-600 has never done a carrier-based takeoff.

👉 Beijing skipped testing to “overtake on a curve.”
👉 In reality? It’s racing blind.

🚨 CRACKDOWN: Trump’s border czar just confirmed—more ICE raids on U.S. businesses are coming.

After 475 illegal workers were detained at Hyundai’s Georgia battery plant, @RealTomHoman says:

👉 “No one hires an illegal alien out of the goodness of their heart.”

DETAILS 🧵Image
Image
@RealTomHoman 2/ The Georgia operation shocked corporate America:

• 475 illegal workers detained
• 300 South Korean nationals to be deported
• Footage showed ICE in armored vehicles, shackling workers

Message received: the days of looking the other way are over. Image
@RealTomHoman 3/ Homan was blunt:

“They hire them because they can work them harder, pay them less, undercut the competition that hires U.S. citizens.”

Translation: Illegal hiring = wage theft from American workers. It's also a crime.

And Trump is done tolerating it. Image
