Mark Rutte to Meet Trump at WH Amid NATO Friction
VIDEO
By Jim Thomas | Friday, 19 June 2026 04:25 PM EDT
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte will sit down with President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday, the alliance announced Friday, part of a three-day Washington visit aimed at steadying a relationship strained by U.S. moves to scale back its military commitments to European allies.
The trip, running Tuesday to Thursday, lands one week after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth used a Brussels ministerial to brand NATO a "paper tiger" and launch a six-month Pentagon review of U.S. force posture in Europe.
Hegseth told allied defense ministers the review would push the alliance "fast and irreversibly toward Europe leading," though he stopped short of committing to a troop drawdown.
Rutte will also meet senior administration officials during the visit and join an E5 leaders' meeting virtually from Washington, according to NATO.
On Thursday, he is set to see members of Congress and headline a discussion at the Atlantic Council.
The agenda is shadowed by a clear shift in U.S. posture.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a longtime Iran hawk, said that he agrees with President Donald Trump’s assessment that Iran’s military has been significantly degraded by U.S. strikes against the country, rebuffing claims that Tehran has become stronger after a memorandum of understanding was hashed out between the two countries this week.
“Completely agree with President Trump’s analysis that Iran’s capability to generate another October 7 or continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet has been massively degraded,” Graham wrote in a statement posted to X on Friday.
He said that “those who say Iran is stronger now than before” are effectively insulting the U.S. military’s ability, adding that Iran’s economy is “in shambles.” He was responding to a social media post made by Trump in which he said that Iran lacks a navy, air force, and other necessary equipment needed to defend itself.

U.S. President Donald Trump on June 19 responded to criticism of a memorandum that Washington signed with Tehran to end the Iran war, saying that the Iranian regime is finished and doesn’t have much of a military left.
The memorandum included a provision that starts a 60-day negotiating clock to reach a final deal on the future of Iran’s controversial nuclear program. The Trump administration, in the memorandum and in public comments, left open the door to carry out more attacks if Iran does not comply.
“We didn’t meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED!” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social. “We’ll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!”
Trump said that the war had “diminished Iran,” which doesn’t have “an Air Force, a Navy, Antiaircraft Equipment, Radar, or practically anything else.”

Taiwan’s president has asked U.S. lawmakers to support pending legislation aimed at streamlining trade between the two nations while calling for deeper cooperation in technology, trade, supply chains, and defense.
President Lai Ching-te made the request on June 18 during a meeting in Taipei with Reps. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) and Valerie Foushee (D-N.C.). McBath, vice chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, led the delegation.
The president said he hoped the U.S. Congress would swiftly complete legislation on avoiding double taxation between Taiwan and the United States in order to improve bilateral trade and investment.
Taiwan became the United States’ fourth-largest goods trading partner last year. U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Economic Analysis data show U.S. goods exports to Taiwan totaled $54.7 billion in 2025, while imports from Taiwan totaled $201.4 billion.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man will come and take you away.
"For What It's Worth," a 1966 Buffalo Springfield hit, written by band member Stephen Stills, was an anti-Vietnam War song aimed at American college students.
It's now 2026 and the song has hit its mark; the 90 million Iranian citizens oppressed by the Ayatollah and his 47-year reign of terror.
With a certain amount of trepidation, I will try to make some sense out of the American-Iranian War (and Peace deal) simmering in and around the Strait of Hormuz in the Mediterranean Sea.
This past weekend I had the honor of interviewing college professor and anti-Iran activist on the past, present and future geopolitical status of Iran. His name is Amir Fakhravar and he teaches at Texas State University.
He is an author of books on Iran and Constitutions. He is an American citizen and patriot.
The lead question in the interview asked whether "President Trump has given up on regime change." Amir's answer surprised me. He said that President Trump is "playing with" the Iranian negotiators; dangling the possibilities of removing sanctions, unfreezing bank accounts, and rebuilding Iran as a way to keep them coming back.
Amir argued that there are 90 million Iranians, almost all opposed to Islam and the current regime. He also argued that Christianity is spreading faster in Iran than in any other country on earth.
He also reminded us of Iran’s current 300% inflation rate and 50% unemployment rate.
He considers real regime change inevitable and sees Trump's stop/start negotiating techniques as a continual stalling to further impoverish the current regime.
As the interviewer I did not engage in any direct disagreement, nor did I complain about the lack of "bombing them back to the Stone Age" activities.
Amir has expressed a need for arming the Iranians. Amir and the rest of us think that there can be no real peace deal with religious fanatics. He believes Trump knows that.
Many of his supporters are not so sure. Probably, neither are you.
Amir's second major point involved the word "God" in Iran's Constitution. Amir correctly pointed out that the United States Constitution never mentions the word "God" or any specific religion. Amir believes that having "God" or "Allah" or other specific religious terms makes the success or failure of your country the result of God's will.
Not having "God" in your Constitution makes the success or failure of your country's "Free Will." Indeed, the world looks at many Islamic states and sees failure; ascribing their conditions to their God. The world also looks at many successful (mostly Western and Judeo-Christian) countries and ascribes their conditions to their people.
So, what does the future hold? More war? More negotiations? Regime change?

The world also looks at many successful (mostly Western and Judeo-Christian) countries and ascribes their conditions to their people.
So, what does the future hold? More war? More negotiations? Regime change?

So, what does the future hold? More war? More negotiations? Regime change?
Here's is my best take. The facts that we can all agree on include:
-You can’t negotiate with religious fanatics;
-The Islamist goals of "Death to America and Israel" will never change;
-The regime breaks the current ceasefire on almost daily;
-The regime only understands force;
-President Trump sees and knows all of this; and,
-One should never bet against President Trump
Therefore, I come down on the side of President Trump and Amir. The regime is going to fall. (Think Syria, not Venezuela). The 90 million Iranians will get their act together, acquire arms, include the Kurds, take to the streets, confront their oppressors, and ultimately prevail.
____________
THANK YOU.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made a major move on her final day in the Trump administration on Thursday, announcing that she would release a series of communications and documents that she says show Dr. Anthony Fauci directed millions of taxpayer dollars toward gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, worked to suppress the COVID-19 lab-leak theory and later lied about those efforts to Congress under oath.
"Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024," Gabbard wrote on X. "It’s time you know the truth."

Fla. AG to Newsmax: TikTok Will Answer for Child Safety Violations
VIDEO
By Theodore Bunker | Thursday, 18 June 2026 01:35 PM EDT
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Thursday defended the state's lawsuit against TikTok on Wednesday, arguing that the social media platform deceives parents about the safety of its content while exposing children to addictive features and harmful material in violation of Florida law.
Speaking in an interview on Newsmax's "National Report," Uthmeier said Florida has gathered substantial evidence to support allegations that TikTok misleads parents and contributes to harms affecting young users.
"We have strong evidence to support our arguments that A, they've told parents this is safe for kids and B, it's not," Uthmeier said.
The comments come days after Florida filed a lawsuit against TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, alleging the platform violates the state's online child protection law and consumer protection statutes by allowing underage users on the app and misrepresenting the nature of content available to minors.
The lawsuit, filed in St. Lucie County, seeks penalties, damages, and court-ordered changes to TikTok's operations in Florida.
