I am curious. Did the Pentagon give the Qataris all the highly classified engineering and drawings for AF1 defensive systems that will have to be installed? Much is built into the body of the plane. Not exactly aftermarket floor mats and racing stripes.

“Musk told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills” nytimes.com/2025/05/30/us/…

Elon is responsible for intentional chaos and ending critical biodefense programs through his fraternity of unqualified yes-men, yet he wouldn't even be able to get a secret-level clearance, let alone a TS/SCI. He may have left government, but DOGE and his impact will linger.

NEW: The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. This is the kind of leadership Leo’s picking.

Trump is scrambling to spin this. Netanyahu wasn’t trying to help diplomacy; he was trying to destroy diplomacy. How do we know? They reportedly targeted and killed Iran’s chief negotiator with Trump.
