BREAKING: China is operating an intelligence-gathering platform masquerading as an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, America’s Gulf Test Range, where we test military capabilities to defeat China, is currently shut down due to the “discovery” of 51 whales. A serious nation would not sacrifice national security... show more

@RepMattGaetz @kristina_wong Great job Matt! I didn’t know about these whales or the oil rig that China bought from us. Glad to see someone on the hill asking pointed questions.

@RepMattGaetz Do we really care about whales? If we do, then which whales? It's all so confusing. It's save the whales! But, not the whales on the beach in the northeast. Ignore those whales, because wind turbines! Save these whales, because...?

@RepMattGaetz People still don’t seem to get that it’s all part of the WEF Globalist agenda.

@RepMattGaetz Have you ever wondered why Trump had a bank account IN China while he was CinC? Doesn’t seem to be a big concern for New Republicans. If he was a Dem there would be daily hearings on the matter. Right?

@RepMattGaetz It’s pretty apparent that the current administration is just an extension of the Obama administration with Obama pulling the strings! They have always wanted to empower our enemies and most definitely aren’t going to stop now!

@RepMattGaetz Why do we allow China in the gulf?! Farmland too? Send the whales to Jersey, heard the windmills just killed a lot.

There are 51 Rice's whales left on Earth. They exist only in the Gulf of Mexico. The Trump admin just unanimously voted to exempt all Gulf oil drilling from the Endangered Species Act. Deepwater Horizon killed 17% of them. That was an accident. This is a choice. #Trump #RicesWhale #ClimateChange

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 The U.S. just gave China an ultimatum. Buy Iranian oil. Face 100% tariffs. China imports 37.7% of its oil through the Gulf. Much of it from Iran. This is not a warning. This is an economic weapon aimed directly at Beijing. The trade war just became an energy war.

China slaps down Palau’s malicious attempt to hijack South Pacific island nations and manufacture a regional security crisis out of China’s normal missile tests. China tested a missile into the high seas. China is not a subscriber to the Hague Code of Conduct and is therefore not bound by its notification mechanism. Yet China still issued navigation and airspace warnings and notified relevant states in advance. Meanwhile, the United States has conducted more than 300 ICBM tests and roughly 200 SLBM tests. Washington has given China advance notice only once — in November 2024, after China had first notified the US of its own September launch. And now Palau is behaving as though China owes it a permission slip to conduct a lawful military test in the Pacific. This is the most ironic part: Palau has fewer than 20,000 people and its government has convinced itself that the Pacific is its private backyard. The high seas are not Palauan territorial waters. You do not get to turn an entire ocean into your private security perimeter and then demand that another Pacific power ask your permission to operate in international waters. Palau has sovereignty over Palau. It does not have sovereignty over the Pacific. If China conducts a lawful test in the high seas, your displeasure does not magically create jurisdiction. China is a Pacific country too. The Pacific is not Palau’s private swimming pool, and it certainly is not an American-administered firing range where only Washington gets to normalize missile testing. If every Chinese test is going to trigger a regional morality play, then perhaps China simply has not tested often enough for everyone to get used to the fact that it is a Pacific military power. America tested hundreds of times and made it background noise. China conducts a rare public test and everyone suddenly discovers trauma. Maybe the problem is not the missile. Maybe the problem is that the monopoly is over.

Kat Abughazaleh on Breaking Points says the US should codify providing aid to Taiwan in the case of an invasion from China "Any sort of military aid to Taiwan is an absolute last resort. We need to be reinvesting into diplomacy between Taiwan and China. If the Taiwanese people pass a referendum for reunification with China, I'm supportive of that. That is their choice. But invasion is where we draw the line." Ryan Grim clarifies, "does military aid mean shipping weapons or actively participating in and assisting in the defense?" "Shipping weapons. We should not have US troops deployed on Taiwanese soil."

Kebaso Morara is currently in China, and he is saying that a litre of petrol there is going for the equivalent of KSh 597. China is one of the countries worst hit by the Iran War, since Iran was exporting over 80% of all its oil to China.

Not only was Operation Epic Fury in the interest of America’s national security — it also puts Russia and China on notice. They should not test whether America will act to defend our interests and allies.

Now that President Trump is back in the Oval Office, America is once again the most powerful and respected country in the world. This resurgence begins with renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the rightful Gulf of America. It is our military that defends the area from any military threats from foreign countries. Mexican cartels currently use the Gulf of Mexico to traffic humans, drugs, weapons, and God knows what else while the Mexican government allows them to do it. It’s our gulf. The rightful name is the Gulf of America and it’s what the entire world should refer to it as. Congress should immediately pass my bill to rename all maps to the Gulf of America!
