The president of Portugal needs some lessons in diplomacy.

President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who represents the Social Democratic Party, made the comments during a recent speech.

“The supreme leader of the world’s largest superpower is objectively a Soviet or Russian asset,” he declared.

“I am saying that, objectively, the new U.S. leadership has strategically favored the Russian Federation,” he continued.

De Sousa added that the U.S. administration “gone from being allies on one side to acting as referees in the conflict,” arguing that Trump only wishes to negotiate “with one of the teams.”

Although the Portuguese presidency is mostly ceremonial, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has often used the office to inject himself into international debates.

A longtime television pundit turned politician, he has been in office since 2016. His reputation has suffered after being embroiled in various corruption scandals.

In Portugal, real executive power rests with the government led by Prime Minister Luís Montenegro of the Democratic Alliance (PSD-CDS coalition).

Since June 2025, he has headed a minority cabinet after winning the most seats in the May snap election but falling short of a majority. Montenegro and its ministers, not the president, direct day-to-day policy and foreign affairs.

However, the only real conservative force in Portugal comes from the Chega party, which is now the country’s main opposition. They control 60 out of the 230 seats in the country’s National Assembly.

The party has campaigned on a variety of conservative proposals, including hard-line law-and-order policies, strict immigration limits, and sweeping constitutional reform.

They have also called for life sentences and chemical castration for offenders, drastic cuts to government spending, and embracing a policy of free-market economics.

President Trump has made it clear on multiple occasions that he is not a fan of wind as a power source. It’s not reliable and it is an affront to the natural beauty of the country.

Trump recently cancelled a major wind project in Idaho that was approved by Biden. Now, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has pulled almost $700 million in funding for twelve planned offshore wind projects.

Green energy activists on the left are sure to lose their minds over this.

The New York Post reports:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy withdraws $679M in funding for ‘doomed’ offshore wind projects – including three in NY, NJ and CT

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Friday that $679 million in federal funding has been withdrawn for 12 “doomed” offshore wind projects – including three in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

The scrapped funding includes $10.5 million for Connecticut’s Bridgeport Port Authority Operations and Maintenance Wind Port project, $20.5 million for New Jersey’s Wind Port at Paulsboro and $48 million for Staten Island’s Arthur Kill Terminal.

The Trump administration plans to spend the withdrawn funds on “real infrastructure” and “restoring American maritime dominance.”

“Wasteful, wind projects are using resources that could otherwise go towards revitalizing America’s maritime industry,” Duffy said in a statement…

“Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg bent over backwards to use transportation dollars for their Green New Scam agenda while ignoring the dire needs of our shipbuilding industry,” Duffy said. “Thanks to President Trump, we are prioritizing real infrastructure improvements over fantasy wind projects.”

Offshore wind should NEVER have been approved! https://t.co/ExSC59ABnn

President Trump just canceled $679M in federal funds for 12 offshore wind projects, including $427M for California, impacting Newsom’s state the most.

Great! Wind energy is too expensive, kills birds and is ugly as hell.

Last week, a liberal woman held up a racist sign to protest Winsome Sears, the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia who is running for governor there this fall.

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat running for governor, offered a tepid response to the sign through her campaign.

The incident brought some great news for Sears, however. Robert Johnson, the billionaire founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET), just donated $500,000 to the Sears campaign. Not bad. Not bad, at all.

The Washington Times reports:

Racist sign prompts BET co-founder Robert Johnson to give Winsome Earle-Sears’ campaign $500K

Robert L. Johnson, the billionaire co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, has donated $500,000 to Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome-Sears’ gubernatorial campaign after she was targeted by a racist sign at a school board meeting.

Ms. Winsome-Sears’ campaign said Mr. Johnson made the donation and condemned the “useful idiot” who displayed the sign at an Arlington County school board meeting.

“Madam Lt. Governor, I was so appalled by the racist diatribe displayed by a useful idiot at a recent press event that I choose to show all the voters of Virginia how Black Brothers stand up to defend and support Black Sisters when confronted with unadulterated racism. I have always been a good investor and that’s why I’m investing in you,” Mr. Johnson told Ms. Earle-Sears, according to her campaign.

A spokesperson for Mr. Johnson and his business, RLJ Companies, did not respond to a request for comment.

The sizeable donation comes one week after Ms. Earle-Sears was confronted by a protester hoisting a sign that said: “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then Blacks can’t share my water fountain.”

Abigail Spanberger has been leading in the polls on this race for weeks, but Winsome Sears has closed the gap just in the last ten days. The race is now almost a tie.

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Trump from rapidly deporting illegal aliens.

In January, President Trump signed an executive order titled, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion.”

“Over the last 4 years, the prior administration invited, administered, and oversaw an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration into the United States. Millions of illegal aliens crossed our borders or were permitted to fly directly into the United States on commercial flights and allowed to settle in American communities, in violation of longstanding Federal laws,” Trump said in the executive order.

“Many of these aliens unlawfully within the United States present significant threats to national security and public safety, committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans. Others are engaged in hostile activities, including espionage, economic espionage, and preparations for terror-related activities. Many have abused the generosity of the American people, and their presence in the United States has cost taxpayers billions of dollars at the Federal, State, and local levels,” the EO said.

US District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, called President Trump’s expedited removal of illegal aliens from the interior of the US a “skimpy process.”

“The procedures the Government currently uses in expedited removal, however, create a significant risk that it will not identify these disqualifying criteria before quickly ordering someone removed. And the lack of available review means that once the removal happens, it is largely too late to correct the error,” Judge Cobb wrote in a 48-page opinion.

Politico reported:

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to expand a fast-track deportation process, ruling that the broadened application of the sped-up process creates “a significant risk” that immigrants who may be entitled to stay in the U.S. will be hustled out of the country.

In a decision issued Friday evening, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb granted a request by an immigrant advocacy group to put a hold on a pair of policies the administration issued in January that made millions more immigrants eligible for expulsion from the U.S. under a process known as “expedited removal.”

During a recent episode of the Politics War Room podcast, longtime Democrat strategist James Carville went off on his party for pushing woke ideas during the DNC summer meeting.

Just a week after being told by a liberal think tank to avoid using certain woke words and phrases, Democrats opened their DNC summer meeting with a land acknowledgement, claiming that Minneapolis is built on stolen land.

In his rant, Carville reminds Democrats that this is not the role of the DNC and that they are basically committing political suicide by continuing to do this.

‘Try To Win F**king Elections!’: James Carville Blows Gasket On DNC Over Land Acknowledgment

Democratic strategist James Carville on “Politics War Room” Thursday expressed outrage at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for beginning its summer meeting with a land acknowledgement…

“Why are you bringing this up in an election!? … This is an election and the DNC is not the place to discuss this! Understand this: the DNC does not exist to right wrongs,” Carville said. “It doesn’t exist to acknowledge the more unpleasant parts of history. It doesn’t exist to make people feel good. It exists— get this through your head — to win elections! Now, do you think that is going to help us win elections … by arguing about land theft from the Dakotas? We’re not!”

“Please stop this in the name of a just, merciful God! Don’t you see what’s happening? Don’t you see where this has brought us to? For God’s sakes, lady!” he added. “And what is [DNC Chairman] Ken Martin doing there? You don’t have but one job, Ken — it’s to win! … You’re supposed to try to win fucking elections! Before we leave this, in case you’re wondering, Fox was over this like stink on shit. They were all over it, as you could well imagine.”

Carville is one of the few Democrats who understands what is killing his party. He keeps pleading with them to change course but they’re clearly not listening to his warnings.
