Neil Young invites Trump to a concert on his summer tour after previously calling the president a 'disgrace'

Canada-born rocker Neil Young has invited President Donald Trump to come attend his summer concert tour – after ripping the president online for threatening 'our way of life.' Young posted about the president on his blog while extending the possibly mock invitation to the self-described fan who he has also labeled 'out of control.' 'When I tour the USA this summer, if there is not martial law by then which would make it impossible, let's all come together and stand for American values,' the Canadian-American rocker wrote on his 'Neil Young Archives.' 'We will not be doing a political show,' Young explained. 'We will be playing the music we love for all of us to enjoy together. President Trump, you are invited. Come and hear our music just as you did for decades.' Young, whose hits have included 'Helpless,' 'Cinnamon Girl,' and 'Southern Man,' along with ' Ohio,' tore into Trump in an earlier posting on his site. That came after Trump's taunts at rocker Bruce Springsteen, one of numerous celebs and notable politicians and other figures Trump has said he would go after, after speaking of 'retribution' during the presidential campaign. 'I am not scared of [Trump]. Neither are the rest of us,' Young wrote. 'What are you worryin' about man?" Young wrote. 'Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin' kids in Gaza. That's your problem.' He also referenced the Boss in his post dated June 2. 'Bruce Springsteen and many others will be in our country this summer, there for you, playing your favorite music, songs like 'Born in the USA'. We are proud to be who wer are, and must never let our government forget it,' he wrote. 'Thanks, Neil,' he signed off. The Canadian-American was born north of the border, didn't mention Trump's repeated statements about making Canada the 51st U.S. state in his latest post. Trump, who carefully curates the playlists for his rallies with songs ranging from 'Y.M.C.A. to Puccini's 'Nussun dorma', has called himself a fan of the down-to-earth singer. But Young sued in 2020 for playing his 'Rockin' in the Free World' at rallies he called 'divisive.' He was one of a long list of musicians who objected to their music being used. The suit was later dismissed without prejudice. '[Young's] got something very special. I've listened to his music for years…' Trump once told Rolling Stone, even calling Young's voice 'haunting.' Young's earlier May 20 post contained an image of the White House, and said Trump 'shut down FEMA' – although in fact Trump has only vowed to scrap the agency. He also advised the president to 'stop thinking about what rockers are saying.' That could be unlikely. Trump this week vowed to visit Kid Rock's new restaurant in Nashville. He also plans to attend an upcoming showing of Les Miserables at the Kennedy Center, after installing loyalist Ric Grinell and forcing out board members of the D.C. cultural institution. Trump has found time to attend multiple sporting events as president. Should he decide to take Young up on his offer, his U.S. tour takes him to Jones Beach in Trump's former New York stomping ground, along with Virginia, Rhode Island and New Hampshire – plus Toronto.

Ex-Democratic leader warns party is 'dying' as key issues leave voters wanting 'new way forward'

Former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero warned Tuesday that the party she once called home is "on its last stand," accusing its members of abandoning common sense and core American values in favor of identity politics. "It is a dying party. It will go the way of the Whigs in a century past," she said while appearing on "Fox & Friends First." "The new way forward is an America-first party, the Republican Party under Donald Trump… This is really a new party, and it's one that recognizes that borders matter, citizenship matters, safety for all [matters]. We care about the content of one's character much more than we care about the color of our skin, and across the board… we are there together to say, 'Stop the nonsense. Speak common sense.'" Romero said many former Democrats – Tulsi Gabbard, Leo Terrell, RFK, Jr. and herself included – tried to be voices for reform within the party, but saw the writing on the wall and ultimately resigned themselves to leaving altogether. Her comments lambasting Democrats came after Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman bucked his party over the border and antisemitism during a Fox Nation-hosted debate with his Republican colleague Sen. Dave McCormick on Monday. "Antisemitism [is] out of control… Building tent cities on a campus and terrorizing and intimidating Jewish students – that's not free speech, and now we've lost the argument in parts of my party," he conceded. "Our party did not handle the border appropriately. Look at the numbers: 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border. Now that's unacceptable and that's a national security issue and that is chaos." Romero applauded the Keystone State lawmakers for showcasing a commitment to working across the aisle in a way she wishes more politicians would consider. "Sadly, Democrats are still caught in that web, the ideology of identity politics, and it [working across the aisle] has not yet taken root," she HERE TO JOIN FOX NATION "They still stand up and scream that everybody's a Nazi, everybody's racist. Or still defend open borders, deny the rampant antisemitism, and refuse to stand up for America first. But hopefully, with the Fetterman-McCormick discussion debate, I hope it really sends a message across the country that this is what the American people want – for our elected officials to grow up, to listen to each other, and work with each other for Americans."

On Russia, Trump Is More of the Same

Critics and fans alike treat President Trump's Russia policy as revolutionary: His outreach to Moscow despite Russia's war of conquest against Ukraine is either a betrayal of American values or a cold-blooded, brilliant attempt at geopolitical realignment against China. In reality, it's a thoroughly conventional policy, in line with every U.S. administration's approach since 1989. Like the rest, it will fail—unless Mr. Trump tries something truly radical. The Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 presented a unique opportunity to check Moscow's revanchism. With vast territorial reserves and a centralized, militaristic society, Russia had preyed on Europe for centuries. In the 20th century alone, Moscow gobbled up the Baltic states, Belarus and Ukraine and extended its dominion to eastern Germany. World War II left Europe—without America until the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's founding in 1949—too weak to respond.
