It is a significant moment when an institution committed to serious strategic thought expands its reach beyond borders. The Gold Institute for International Strategy is doing exactly that, formally taking its place as an international organization with the First European Economic and Security Summit in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on 27 and 28 May 2026.
The Summit will convene senior policymakers, security experts, and economic leaders from across the European Union, the United States, the Middle East and other allied and partner nations for a thoughtful and timely dialogue on the future of the Balkan region and beyond. Discussions will address the evolving transatlantic security architecture, economic resilience and regional integration, hybrid threats and information operations, energy and infrastructure corridors, and the role of democratic institutions in underpinning lasting stability.
The Gold Institute's emergence as an international convening body reflects a growing recognition that cooperation between people, cultures, religions, and nations requires shared forums, shared analysis, and shared resolve.
This is challenging but principled, forward-looking work, and the conversation in Banja Luka will help shape it.
I have spent my life serving this country, and I still believe the American people are our greatest strength. But we cannot afford to sit back and assume someone else will secure our future.
There is too much at stake for complacency. Take your frustrations, your concerns, and your love of country to the ballot box. I voted early. Make your plan and follow through.
America is worth fighting for.
Peace through strength requires an America capable of producing what its military needs.
In more than 33 years in uniform, including as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, I learned that secure supply chains are essential to military readiness. We cannot afford to depend on foreign adversaries for the critical metals that equip our forces.
Rebuilding American production strengthens our national defense, creates American jobs, and gives our nation greater control over its future.

Taking the Oath.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 — Presidential Oath of Office — a duly elected President of the United States swears (or affirms) their oath of office, below is that oath:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, PRESERVE, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
I capitalize the word PRESERVE because this oath, unlike others taken by federal officials, is the only one to use the word PRESERVE. The POTUS has a duty to not only protect and defend, but to PRESERVE our constitution.
Pray that our leadership understands this. I believe America is moving into previously uncharted waters, and our constitution is (will be) tested in the years ahead as maybe only one other time in U.S. history. Can it stand the test of the past of our American experience?
I pray it does for the sake of our freedoms, our civic responsibilities, and especially our ...
Our Constitution is not negotiable. Period.
Sharia imposed through government power is a direct attack on freedom of speech, religious liberty, women’s equality, and the right to question or leave a faith. No religious authority gets to strip Americans of their constitutional rights.
Sharia Law is NOT compatible with Constitutional Law. It simply will not work in America. Accept our way of life or leave.
America’s Future is calling this out because defending liberty starts with recognizing the threat.

Let me tell you something straight up—President Trump’s tariffs are a bold, decisive strike for America’s soul. This isn’t just about trade; it’s about taking back what’s ours—our jobs, industries, and our pride. For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.
