J.B. White dives into Trump’s strategic chess game as he forces the world to recognize that Ukraine isn’t calling the shots...America is. As Trump and his team orchestrate peace talks in Riyadh, Zelensky’s absence is glaring, and NATO is beginning to realize that its days of dictating U.S. foreign policy are over. Meanwhile, J.D. Vance’s speech in Munich is making waves, laying out a vision for regional responsibility and cooperation that leaves the old globalist order scrambling for a response.

Back in D.C., the lawfare battle over Trump’s executive power is heating up, with lower courts trying, and failing, to block his authority.
