American Renewal
Tonight at 9 PM EST President Trump will address congress. The purpose of the speech is to address the President's work thus far and to present to the American people what comes next. The topics likely to be covered are the dashed hopes of reaching a peace deal in the Ukraine War, the anxiety some have over the cutting of waste in government, the need for tariffs, steps taken to address inflation, and border security and deportation efforts. Many in Kyiv and Moscow will be watching.
Of course, the President will also give some insight into his future course of action. There are also many cases heading for the Supreme Court, which will likely reinforce the authority of the President to run the executive branch of government. Some of it comes by way of resistance judges who have exceeded their authority and are simply trying to impede the Trump agenda and there is also Trump's pushing the envelope to see what he can do.
Although it is not a State of the Union address, the frustrated democrats will respond to the President's speech. They have chosen Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin. Democrats are expected to bring guests who have been harmed by policies put in place since Trump took office, including people who have been fired, or laid off, or have some claim of victimhood.
In the news:
Trump halted military aid to Ukraine with immediate effect. The order affects more than $1 billion in arms and ammunition. Officials said Trump would rescind it once Ukraine showed a good-faith commitment to peace negotiations. Maybe Zelensky will realize that he is the beneficiary, and President Trump is the Patron.
The Senate confirmed Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education.
Democrats voted down a bill that would have protected women from biological men in women's sports.
Arab leaders plan to meet in Cairo today to discuss the future of Gaza and President Trump's ideas on it.
A 40-year-old man drove a car into a crowd of people during lunch hour in Mannheim, Germany, killing two and injuring 11.
TSMC, the world’s largest computer chip manufacturer, plans to invest $100 billion over the next four years to expand its operations in the U.S.

Good morning and welcome to the news section of NT
Former Israeli hostage Noa Argamani will attend President Trump’s first formal address to Congress as one of the many guests of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
It's telling that the very people that badger others about being "Putin Puppets" routinely show Russia published nonsense.
Zelensky releases statement saying Ukraine is ready for real peace instead of endless war. He says that what is needed to accomplish that is security guarantees.
So, Ukraine gets security guarantees and Russia will pull out?
Got it.
what was the issue(s) that got POS/POTUS elected? what's about to happen to that issue(s) now?
ukraine had our common enemy russia and putin on the ropes and trumpski is about to rescue the commies.
Yes, that would be crazy. An aggressor who invaded your country and is trying to steal it from under you while hundreds of thousand's of Ukrainian countrymen have already made the ultimate sacrifice i8n an attempt to fight for their OWN Country, that Zelensky fellow has a lot of balls demanding that the wanna B dictator tot Trump and his Vice, felt that their needs for stroked ego and fealty, trumped that of a TRUE LEQADER, attempting to fight for his countries right to exist and the safety of his countrymen, was somehow on a higher playing field than that of the mental midgets maniacal miscreant missing mind, somehow, ore other....?
Yep, go figure////
hostile takeover trumpski admires illegal land grabs, war criminals, and dictators ...
Do you have a source for that?
That equals a grand total of 58,000. stop with the bullshit propaganda.
Interewsting how you are able to catch my mislabeling of Ukraine's losses to that of Putins', yet Trump, Elons mandate and that other human Vice, JD are out LYING to you daily, and you just accept them. And I'd bet Ukraines' numbers are higher, and what are Russia's numbers, liker over a half million I B leave
I wonder how the pro-palestianian idiots are going to defend how Ms. Argamani was treated while she was held hostage.
probably the same way the pro-israeli ultra nationalist idiots will defend israeli apartheid atrocities ...
And here I thought we would get today's WSJ editorial to 'brighten' the day ... meh, some days it's all about the joy of being wrong.
I ended my subscription to the WSJ when they brought in Molly Ball.
I got tired of reading about what Trump can't do.
I've just started one.
Evidently your outgoing PM has also become a subscriber.
Tell him for me that the reason he is on his way out is because the world is changing .... for the better.
No, he's on his way out because he overstayed his welcome. I will say this for him, he never sucked up to dictators. But hey-diddle-diddle-me dictators are 'all' for the better and especially the 'benevolent' ones.
He's a meaningless midget living like all Canadians, under the protection of the US.
So goes the myth. Who is the US protecting us from today, their BFF Vlad the Putz?
Female voters, please take note.
Here are the democrats who voted against keeping men out of women's sports:
All 10 of them, no excuses ... /s
Womens sports is not a refuge for those inferior males who can't compete with actual real men.
another christo-fascist non-issue issue ...
Some believe counterculture was/is a restaurant.
It sure seems to be an issue with the progressives, and a losing one at that.
But hey Dems, keep up the self-destruction, we're loving it.
I don't understand why maga short-timers would be concerned.
Hell if they are dumb enough to let Walz even consider a presidential run...
Dude is clueless.
They voted in lock step against 79% of the American people.
Not a smart move.
I guess they're learning that from his self-proclaimed majesty.
Learn?
As Talleyrand once put it: "They learned nothing and forgot nothing."
Canadians drink rye, not bourbon.
The weak men will participate in women's sports.
The weak minded will celebrate them.
At this rate, the dumb Dems are well on the way to losing the midterms.
After This Vote, the Dems Show They Really Haven't Learned Anything From Their 2024 Loss
They don't understand why they lost in the last election and they will still won't understand why they will lose the next election.
They weren't able to change. The radical left runs that party.
There really is no "radical left", just "rational left" versus a bunch of poorly educated religious bigots on the right.
We see the proof of the radicalism right here every day. Imagine defending men in women's sports.
That is the funniest thing I've seen today. Thanks for the laugh.
After failing this many times I would think at least a small group would learn. Apparently that's not as possible as I give them credit for.
The democrat party is a revolutionary party firmly committed to an ideology. The problem is getting around or REPLACING American voters.
Could be why they were supporting the Biden Open Border Policy?
That was exactly why Biden opened the border.
In response to the rise of the populist right there has been a rise in the populist left. Fortunately what some here claim is 'radical' is only just opposition to the shit stain currently holding office.
And where is the picture of the Republicans who voted against keeping men out of women's bodies and personal health decisions? Oh, that's right, it would be hard to get all the rightwing thumpers in one shot who believe men should get to decide what's best for a woman if she happens to get raped or dares to have a fertilized egg in her uterus.
I think it's clear which issue is actually important for rational women with more than half a brain. The others of course would never dare to speak out for fear of being "corrected" by their male masters. As one of my Trump supporting cousins in Arkansas once said "What do you tell a woman with two black eyes? Nothing she ain't already been told twice...".
I'm guessing there was probably .00037 % of the male population attempting to be the big bitches on Campus, whilst millions upon millions of women are affected by these GOP Federalists recommended judges and Republican attempts to control females.
As he should have done. Zelensky come to the WH with his hand out and it was slapped away. What's striking about this is that prior to Zelensky's arrival the Ukrainian government was expecting to sign a deal that would start the peace process and for the US to recoup some of the money Ukraine has received (about $16.3 billion). Democrats had a meeting with Zelensky prior to him meeting with the President. That is when things went sideways. Can't help but wonder why the Democrats would meet with him before he met with Trump and what role the Democrats had in the deal going sideways.
OK, who is surprised about this one? I'm not.
I’m sure those massive European armament factories that have equipped the top of the line modern European armies won’t miss a beat in keeping Ukraine provisioned. At least that’s what I was told
The Europeans can sure talk the talk. Zelensky just can't come to terms with the fact that his fate isn't linked to the Europeans or the American left. His fate is in the hands of those he really doesn't like... aka: MAGA.
If Zelensky wanted peace he would have signed the deal. But he doesn't want peace because he would lose all the power and money and adoration of the uneducated masses. Ukraine has to replace him and Europe needs to wake up and pay their fair share for the common defense.
I will leave the country if Trump will simply show his TRUMP GAZA video on a big screen at his speech tonight.
Reading this "news" column every day reminds me of an old saying - "there are Trump cultists, and then there are TRUMP CULTISTS, if you know what I mean".
It's the other side of the TDS coin ... Trump Devotion Syndrome.
Two wings of the same bird.
And yet here you are every day with the option so scroll right past it and save you the TDS episode and save the rest of us from having to endure it.
WADR, you aren't "the rest of us".
You apparently don't understand what I said. Not like it's my problem to solve.
You mean like:
There are woke radicals, and then there are woke radicals!
They work for Musk.
Speaking of Musk's team, whatever happened to "Big Balls?' He came on NT once to speak on the fat cutting and that was it.
I was hoping to have him contribute to the column.
Immigration will bigly factor into the address. That's the hook to tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Anyone happen to notice that Mexico is stepping up to the plate. Maybe Sheinbaum is only stroking Trump's ego but she really is delivering tangible results. And those results are going to pay dividends for Mexico no matter what. Quite the contrast to Trudeau's NY whine.
Trump withholding aid to Ukraine offers Europe a chance to demonstrate what they can do. Starmer can guarantee the UK will fight a nuclear war to secure Ukraine. But can Starmer bring Macron on board? Can Starmer counterbalance Erdogan's political potshots? C'mon, Europe, show us what you got.
Trump will probably lay out how gutting the Federal workforce opens the door for 'private sector entrepreneurship'. The whole damned DOGE flimflam may only be a prelude to privatizing Social Security. The private sector needs to capture those FICA taxes so they can cheat Amurican workers and invest more in cryptocurrency and AI. Yes, the United States is home to business leaders that really are that stupid. Gold Card Visas for Golden parachutes. Taxpayers have to save the rich because Elon Musk has proven the rich cannot save themselves.
Trump's accomplishments so far has permanently removed Reagan from the political landscape. It looks like DOGE is clearing the last vestiges of Reagan deadwood from the bureaucracy. On top of that, the TEA Party brand has been so tarnished that it's dying out fast. Sorry, Newt, your toast is done. Trump is opening the door for a Democrat resurgence if and only it Democrats will change their own party. The simpering gaslight schtick won't cut it from now on. Democrats are gong to have to deliver tangible results to make a beachhead on today's political stage.
The world is changing.
I'll be back for my President's speech.
