The dems in a nutshell.

𝗩𝗗𝗛: "𝗜'𝗩𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗔 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗔" Victor Davis Hanson has a theory about the DHS shutdown that I haven't seen anyone else articulate as cleanly — and I think he'about ICE. Democrats couldn't make the ICE argument because half their party — Ilhan Omar, AOC, the Squad wing — doesn't want any immigration enforcement at all. They can't go on television and explain why shutting down TSA salaries for 39 days is a reasonable response to ICE agents arresting people with deportation orders. Because the honest answer is: we don't think anyone should be deported. And that position polls somewhere near the ocean floor. So what was this actually about? VDH's answer: the midterms. Democrats want to repeat what they did last year — hurt the economy, destroy the airline industry, make Americans angry at the party in power. Canceled flights. Six-hour security lines. Travelers sleeping on airport floors. People missing funerals and high school reunions and business meetings — all of it on camera, all of it attributable to chaos in Washington. They have no agenda. VDH says it plainly — he has never in his career seen a major political party with nothing to offer. No policy vision. No affirmative case for anything. No plan for housing, no plan for crime, no plan for energy, no plan for the border — unless the plan is no border. All they have left is sabotage. Make things bad enough that voters blame whoever is in charge. The problem: it isn't working. Harry Enten reported the worst Democratic polling numbers ever recorded. CNN's own reporters at Atlanta and Houston airports described scenes of near-celebration. An ICE agent in Houston was getting handshakes and thank-yous. A deal using pre-positioned reconciliation funds got TSA workers paid without a single Democratic vote. The strategy failed because Republicans didn't fold. And now Democrats are going home for Easter recess with nothing to show for 39 days of pain they inflicted on the American traveling public. 𝗡𝗼 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮. 𝗡𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗡𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆.

x.com/PrometheanActn… This is an absolute banger… love this lady 🚨 While President Trump was building a new diplomatic space with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan & Gulf States — UK, EU & NATO were NOT at the Table Susan Kokinda delivered a sharp, historically grounded breakdown of a seismic shift in global diplomacy. President Trump is forging direct, back channel talks with Iran through a new regional "Board of Peace" — while the traditional Western players (UK, EU, NATO) are completely sidelined and increasingly powerless. Kokinda frames this as the end of old empire-style leverage games, the weakening of Iran's proxy network, and a harsh reality check for Europe’s self-inflicted energy woes. - Iran’s Proxies Are Crumbling Fast and the new architecture is already delivering tangible wins: Lebanon is moving against Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority is openly condemning Iran, and Hamas is reportedly considering disarmament. Kokinda highlights how these developments strip Iran of its leverage without needing direct U.S. military action. It’s a classic Trump move — use regional players who actually have skin in the game (and shared interests in stability) to squeeze the problem. - No Oil, No Gas, No Seat: Europe’s Self-Made Energy Collapse. Why are the UK, EU, and NATO absent? Because their Green policies and anti-Russia sanctions have left them with absolutely ZERO leverage when it comes to Energy. Kokinda points to rushed LNG imports and a delayed vote on banning Russian oil as symptoms of desperation. Europe literally can’t sit at the table — it has no oil or gas cards to play. This isn’t just about the current talks; it’s the end of Europe’s ability to dictate terms in the Middle East or globally. The old British/EU financial and energy chokeholds (think City of London influence) are being dismantled in favor of American-led manufacturing, AI, and real energy security. - With Europe and Britain stripped of leverage, the endless proxy war in Ukraine is losing steam, and fast. Zelenskyy is scrambling for last-ditch support in London and Washington as the “sponsor” (Western backing) fades. The regional focus on Iran de-escalation redirects attention and resources away from the Ukraine conflict, leaving Zelenskyy exposed. It’s a broader signal that the old globalist forever-war model is over. - Kokinda connects this to Trump’s broader strategy: redirecting Gulf wealth (hundreds of billions) into U.S. manufacturing instead of London banks, promoting nuclear power and critical minerals, and rejecting “Kissinger-style managed conflict.” Iran reportedly gave Trump a “very big present” (likely tied to safe Hormuz Strait passage for oil/gas tankers) as a goodwill gesture. This is the death of the one system (British/EU/NATO-dominated globalism) and the birth of another (transactional, reality-based regional deals).
