You can always count on something notable happening when President Trump deigns to visit the big building on the East River in New York City. Fireworks, grumpy faces, and news of all sorts tend to break out whenever The Donald confidently strides into the snek pit at Turtle Bay, taking on the sanctioned purveyors and enablers of much of what ails the rest of the world.
Today’s General Assembly gathering was no different.
The Secret Service had already been hard at work and managed to snag themselves an apartment full of servers and SIM cards, ready to attempt to cripple the telecoms and communications of the delegates arriving for the big international do.
The Secret Service dismantled a network of more than 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards in the New York-area that were capable of crippling telecom systems and carrying out anonymous telephonic attacks, disrupting the threat before world leaders arrived for the UN General… pic.twitter.com/sZKUeGqvGY

Some as-yet-unnamed evil doers spent a lot of time and effort putting this sim-farm together.
The Secret Service has disrupted a sprawling telecommunications network in the New York tri-state area that investigators say posed a serious potential disruption to New York’s telecom systems and a possible threat to the United Nations General Assembly meetings this week.
In the largest seizure of its kind, the U.S. Secret Service announced Tuesday that the agency found active SIM farms at abandoned apartment buildings located at more than five sites. In total, law enforcement discovered 300 SIM servers – over 100,000 SIM cards – enabling encrypted, anonymous communication and capable of sending 30 million text messages per minute. Officials say the servers were so powerful they could have disabled cell phone towers and launched distributed denial of services attacks with the ability to block emergency communications like EMS and police dispatch.
“This network had the potential to disable cell phone towers and essentially shut down the cellular network in New York City,” U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Matt McCool said in a video released by the agency.
An official briefed on the investigation told reporters that this week, the sophisticated network “could text message the entire country within 12 minutes,” later adding, “This was well organized and well funded.”
Lucky thing they busted the operation – sounds as if it could have been pretty hairy.
It had a rough start for France’s president, the elfin Emmaual Macron, in town for the big event, himself. It seems France’s diminutive leader found himself stuck in traffic thanks to President Trump’s motorcade and the security measures surrounding it.
Well, sacre bleu, thought the little Frenchman – I know the guy. I’ll just call mon ami Donald and clear these obstinate New York City gendarmes out of my presidential way.
Recognise a Palestinian state, will ya?
TAKE A HIKE
BREAKING: Police in NYC stop Macron’s car because the street is closed for Trump’s convoy.
Macron calls Trump asking to let him pass. Trump tells him to walk instead — and Macron does. 😂

It was only a couple of city blocks – just a good stretch of the legs.
Today, the stage was set at the United Nations Headquarters, but not before a slight mechanical mishap occurred on the way to the General Assembly room.
Inexplicably, the escalator carrying the President and First Lady came to an abrupt and potentially catastrophic – have you seen the heels Melania wears? – stop just as she stepped onto the inclined conveyor.
Brakes on, stopped.
Both Trumps looked swiftly to their right, and then Melania smoothly continued up the now converted staircase, chic and cool as ever, with the president following.
This is insane…
As Trump arrived to the UN, the escalator stopped working the moment he stepped on it.
Then the teleprompter stopped working the moment he got up to the podium to speak. pic.twitter.com/XBTgfr6zJ8

Great start to the moment.
It got worse.
The announcement was made from the dias to the general assembly.
THE ASSEMBLY WILL HEAR AN ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The protocol lady escorts Trump out; he stands to acknowledge the room, which offers polite applause, and then Trump steps to the podium for his speech.
Which he now proceeds into without missing a beat, although he is missing a teleprompter.
At the UN, Trump’s teleprompter failed—and he didn’t miss a beat. Imagine Biden in that spot. @POTUS: “I don’t mind making this speech without a teleprompter — because the teleprompter is not working… I can only say that whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big… pic.twitter.com/l6456SAJ0l

If they were hoping against hope that the escalator and the teleprompter would throw a guy like Trump off his game, they have wasted the past eight years, because they’ve learned nothing. Not a God blessed thing about this man.
Trump didn’t miss a beat, and he didn’t miss a target.
Seven wars ended, said Trump, and all I’ve ever gotten from the UN was a lousy broken escalator and busted teleprompter.
🚨Trump WRECKS the UN for doing nothing to help him bring about peace in global conflicts:
“I ended seven wars…and never even received a phone call from the UN…These are the two things I got from the UN: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.” pic.twitter.com/q2RLVV5sEG

The ‘Make America Great Again’ guy told the globalist assembly that every nation has the sovereign right to self-determination and national security.
🔥 President Trump just destroyed the very idea of globalism at the UN:

That the United Nations was never meant to be in the business of facilitating the infiltration of sovereign countries by foreign invaders.
President Trump just called out the UN for funding the invasion of America’s southern border:

…”In 2024, the UN budgeted $372M in cash assistance to support migrants journeying into the United States… The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation and debit cards to illegal aliens… The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them… In the United States we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime and deplete our social safety nets. We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people.”
The Germans were looking grumpy again, as Trump railed against the possible imposition of Sharia law in Britain.
Schmaybe it hit too close to home?
President Trump expresses his concerns for the UK, to the UN: “I look at London, where you have a terrible terrible mayor(khan)it’s been so changed…

IF YOU DON’T GET AWAY FROM THE GREEN ENERGY SCAM, YOUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO FAIL
President Trump to Europe: “If you don’t get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail. If you don’t stop people that you’ve never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail… You are destroying your heritage.” pic.twitter.com/6sBvSy0lMy

He was unequivocal on the hostages.
President Trump at the UN just berated those who recognised Palestine and called it a “reward for these horrible atrocities”. He said the world should have been united in one message:
“Release the hostages.”
Absolutely correct. pic.twitter.com/oi0x7AVqXA

And challenged the NATO allies to ‘step it up’ as far as following the same sanctions the US is following on Russia. Stop buying Russian oil and gas and paying the Russians at the same time they’re fighting them.
IT’S VERY EMBARRASSING FOR THEM
🚨🇺🇸🇪🇺 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST HUMILIATED VON DER LEYEN 🤣
“They’re buying oil and gas from Russia, while fighting Russia.”
“It was very EMBARRASSING to them when I found out about it, I can tell you that.”
Oh, I bet!

Now the world goes back to its respective corners and caves, licks its wounds, and commiserates with each other in weepy, sniveling messages about how beastly horrible Trump is.
Right in every respect, but he’s horrible to say it in public like that.
The only thing missing was a little climate cult scowl monkey to glare at him, ignoring her as he left, for icing on the American cake.
