The 2026 midterms exposed the growing divide between Trump's MAGA movement and the old GOP. From political warfare and American manufacturing to Ukraine and a new global order, the battle for America's future is entering a new phase.
Barbara flips the Daily Beast's Goebbels smear of Stephen Miller: who financed Hitler, how Nazi propaganda worked, and why the Ark Trump is building—and Miller's mindset—will decide whether the Republic lives or dies.

Trump has opened a new diplomatic space with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, and Gulf States to de-escalate the Iran conflict—while the U.K., EU, and NATO are absent and increasingly irrelevant.
Susan Kokinda argues President Trump has opened a new diplomatic space to de-escalate the Iran conflict by working through a regional roster—Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Gulf States, and back channels into Iran—while the U.K., EU, and NATO are absent and increasingly irrelevant. Citing reporting that ministers met in Riyadh and that Egypt, Turkey, and Oman carried messages, she says this “Board of Peace” architecture is isolating Iran and weakening its proxies, pointing to Lebanon’s move against Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority’s condemnation of Iran, and Hamas considering disarmament. Kokinda links Europe’s exclusion to self-inflicted energy weakness from Green and anti-Russia policies, noting rushed LNG moves and a delayed Russian oil ban vote. She concludes Ukraine’s outlook darkens as Europe and Britain lack leverage, highlighting Zelenskyy’s scramble for support in London and Washington.
