Cruz. in his news conference said: President Zelensky's address to US Congress was powerful and it was compelling.

The most significant war in Europe since 1945 since the end of World War 2.  Cruz then explained the 2 specific mistakes that caused this war. He said: There were tw...

Ukraine is a disaster. China is a disaster. But there may be no part of the globe more dangerous in the Biden foreign policy than Iran.  From the first days of the Biden-Harris administration, the Biden foreign policy team set its top foreign policy goal. To negotiate a brand-new nuclear agreement with Iran, the Obama Nuclear Agreement was catastrophically dangerous. And President Biden wants nothing more than to re-enter a deal that is even worse than the Obama deal.  In Vienna, Joe Biden's diplomats have been furiously bending over backward to surrender to the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah who is a theocratic despot reg...

Cruz said 'The White House's Talking Points Are Written By An 18-Year-Old Intern'. Addressing the media with GOP leaders, Cruz said: President Biden and the white house's talking points on energy are both inane and contradictory. The Biden white house maintains that decreasing supply does not impact price if you look at How Joe Biden started his presidency? He started it with a war on u.s oil and gas. You know President Biden tried to say this week the increase in gas prices is due to Putin.  I understand the Russians are the favorite talking point for democrats. We spent four years under Donald Trump hearing, democrats say Russia Russia Russia. And now the Biden White House wants to say all of the disasters of inflation that's Russia's fault too. The one problem is the facts on day one asPpresident Joe Biden can...

Cruz said Joe Biden Becoming President 'Best Thing That Ever Happened' To Putin.  I will say Joe Biden's becoming US president was the best thing that ever happened to Vladimir Putin. Biden began his presidency by surrendering by Putin surrendering to Putin waving the sanctions on Nordstrom 2 sanctions bipartisan sanctions that I authored that had stopped that pipeline that had stopped an invasion of Ukraine and Biden decided to surrender to our adversary was a better policy as Neville chamberlain has demonstrated appeasement doesn't work the state of America is strong.  But the state of the union in the state of the federal government in Washington is disastrous, but the one bit a bright light on the horizon that I'm confident president Biden will not point to is that the American people will vote in November and I believe they w...

Watch: Karoline Leavitt Discusses The Admin’s Decision To Pick The Press Allowed To Ask Trump Questions

  Karoline Leavitt Karoline Leavitt Discusses The Admin’s Decision To Pick The Press Allowed To Ask Trump Questions Washington, D.C. – During Tuesday's White House Press Briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed questions regarding the Trump Administration's new policy on selecting reporters who will be granted the opportunity to cover President Donald Trump in high-profile settings.

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
