Trump killed 50 of Iran's top leaders, did at least $1 trillion worth of damage to their military equipment and infrastructure, totally wiped out their naval fleet and air fleets, put their government in a state of endemic internal conflict, and left them totally incapable of meaningfully attacking their neighbors in the region any time soon. By the end of it, all Iran could do is rig the strait with mines and take pop shots at passing ships.
The loss of insurance coverage had more of an impact on the flow of marine traffic than Iran did.
I personally would have preferred the total destruction of the IRGC (which technically isn't off the table if they decide to FAFO) but it would have been difficult to accomplish without more civilian casualties -- something third worldist leftoids were already complaining (and campaigning) about.
In the meantime, consider the following:
No boots on the ground. No prolonged conflict. No permanent occupation. No military draft. No lasting impact on energy prices. No multi-trillion dollar boondoggle. None of the things anti-war retards with Israel tunnel vision like Dave Smith and Candace Owens predicted would happen.
In addition:
- Oil and gas prices are falling in time for summer and the midterms.
- "Free Palestine" third worldists like Graham Platner have less ammo on which to campaign for Congress.
- Russia is bringing in less revenue.
- The U.S. got a foot in the door to block China's Belt and Road projects.
- Trump has greater latitude to tighten sanctions on Russia without exacerbating supply shocks to energy markets.
- Europe and America have agreed to increase cooperation in providing for the national defense of Ukraine.
- Israel isn't a signatory to the MOU and isn't bound by its terms, leaving it free to independently defend itself from threats if necessary.
- America isn't creating a power vacuum for China and Russia to fill by absconding and surrendering its own influence over the region.
The people who say this is a "humiliating defeat" for Trump?
- Russia
- China
- Iran
- Democrats
- The leftist Drudge-led media establishment
All the worst people you know have joined arms and are pretending like Iran pulled one over on the Bad Orange Man in hopes that it will piss off Republicans and Israelis enough to get them to kill the deal themselves.
It's very transparent. Don't let your enemies control you with such a stupid and obvious Reflexive Control op.
You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.
Every decade in modern American history can be identified and defined by its own style, its own approach to music, film, fashion, its own aesthetic. That seems to have stopped right around 2010. The 2010s don't really have their own unique feel, even in retrospect. The 2020s certainly don't. We're more than halfway through the decade. What are the movies, music, style, and trends that this decade will be remembered for? It's like we fell into some kind of cultural blackhole 15 years ago.
Imagine watching the Deep State torpedo Eric Swalwell in less than 7 days, and still thinking there's a magical career-ending bombshell they've had on Trump but not released over the past 11 years.
NEW: The CIA used a secret tool called "Ghost Murmur" that uses AI to find heartbeats to rescue the U.S. airman who was stranded in Iran, according to the New York Post.
The secret technology was allegedly used for the first time in the field, according to the Post.
"The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise," the Post reported.
"It’s like hearing a voice in a stadium, except the stadium is a thousand square miles of desert," the source said.
"In the right conditions, if your heart is beating, we will find you."
"The name is deliberate. ‘Murmur’ is a clinical term for a heart rhythm. ‘Ghost’ refers to finding someone who, for all practical purposes, has disappeared..."
"Advances in a field known as quantum magnetometry, specifically sensors built around microscopic defects in synthetic diamonds, have apparently made it possible to detect these signals at dramatically greater distances."
CIA Director John Ratcliffe appeared to hint at this technology on Monday, saying the CIA possessed "unique capabilities" but said he couldn't "tell you everything that you want to know."
President Trump also revealed during the press conference that the CIA spotted the officer from about "40 miles away."
Insane.
Look, I get it, Dems.
You think buying Greenland is dumb.
You think trash-talking NATO is dumb.
You think Hegseth firing generals is dumb.
You think bombing Iran is dumb.
Fine. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. I’ll buy you a beer and we can argue about it.
But that’s not the point.
Every administration in American history has done dumb things.
Jefferson had an embargo that tanked his own economy.
LBJ had Vietnam.
Carter sold the Panama Canal for $1.
W. had “Mission Accomplished.”
Obama had…. where do I even begin?
Dumb is bipartisan. Dumb is American. Dumb is fine. DC runs on dumb decisions.
What NONE of them ever did, what is truly, mind-melting, pants-on-head, clown-car-fire, galaxy-brained, lead-paint-chip-eating, 50-IQ-Neanderthal-ripping-a-bong dumb, was pay NGOs by the busload to smuggle tens of millions of people, including actual convicted criminals, across a border we spent trillions pretending to defend, then hand them free four-star hotels, free cell phones, free ATM cards, and a court date in 2031 they were never going to show up for.
That is not a policy. That is a SNL cold open someone forgot to write a punchline for.
A five-year-old with a juice box could tell you that was Bozo-the-Clown-on-crack, Weekend-at-Bernie’s-running-DHS, “hold-my-beer-I’m-gonna-try-something” levels of stupid. My golden retriever could have run a tighter border. A Magic 8-Ball would have outperformed the entire Biden interagency.
That’s the new threshold, Democrats.
That’s the low-water mark. That’s the floor. That is the Mariana Trench of public policy and you personally rented the Titan submersible.
Argue all you want about the Strait of Hormuz. Write your op-eds. Go on cable TV with Tom Nichols. Clutch your pearls about Greenland.
But until Trump proposes something even half as mind-bendingly, bone-crushingly, civilization-forfeitingly brain-dead as what Biden and Kamala did with our borders, I genuinely do not care.
Zero F’s given by me.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Greg Gutfeled GOES HAYWIRE after Jessica Tarlov sets him off!
"We had dozens of American deaths where YOU DIDN'T SAY SH*T." 🔥
"I’m absolutely BORED by this. I’m bored by the Nazi stuff, bored by the 'concerned' people in the media that weren't concerned when innocent women were R*PED AND M*RDERED, who didn’t CARE about the 57 who died under Obama!"
"You deserve NO attention on this. You deserve NO credibility on this!"
"It seems like you're ready for another one. You had Renee Good, that went for a couple of weeks. You had this guy, went for a week or so. You're gonna need a third one!"
"I don't care about any of this performance anymore, Jessica. It's done. And you know what? Neither does Trump. People are voting for the law. They want the law."
"If you wanna cry about m*rders and r*pists, DO IT ON YOUR OWN TIME!" @greggutfeld

... this is another excellent point.
The constant piercing rape whistles, the shrieks and constant cursing and shouting of agitators and the car horns are all designed to create an environment of confusion and chaos. They say this in their agitator training materials.
Then one of them brings a loaded weapon with them and physically confronts the police, actively resists them, obstructs them.
This is designed to create a situation where they get martyrs - dead people - at scale that they can then ghoulishly market to their base and to the public at large, with the aim of getting ICE to withdraw and surrender the territory to the leftists
If a police officer pulls me over, and I don’t like the charges, I can have my day in court.
If I get out of my car, stick my phone in his face and cuss him out, I’ll get additional charges and probably arrested.
If I get out of my car and get in a fist fight with him, I deserve to get my ass beat.
If I choose to get in a fist fight with him and have a gun on me, I deserve to get shot if they feel threatened making split second decisions.
All this can be avoided if I simply accept, and respect, the officer’s authority a remain a law abiding citizen.
The fact this is a wild take in America today is laughable.
It struck me last night that a state, specifically a major city, is on the verge of anarchy and civil war because a couple of individuals exposed their mass criminal fraud scheme to the world, and they rallied with the criminal equivalent of a child getting caught stealing money from their mom’s purse.
It wasn’t the population of illegals, because many cities have illegals and aren’t close to burning down over ICE raids. It wasn’t even the criminal fraud itself, as it’s been reported on numerous times over the last decade.
No, it was the mass exposure that a single, viral video unleashed on the public consciousness, thereby forcing the feds to show up in force with the subsequent fallout of the shamed population lashing out with violence when the criminal enterprise convinced them the response to their crimes was “racist.”
We’re going to experience more violence, and things are going to get much worse as a nation, as the full breadth of these criminal schemes, which are bankrupting us and stealing our kids futures, are made known.
It has to happen though. It can’t be avoided, and people will die as a result. Innocent people will be caught in the crossfire, and the results will be reshape this nation. If we don’t do it, the outcome will be the death of a nation. It’s as simple as that.
I have a theory.
Since the war on "Karens" started, the women who would normally keep societal order by complaining about poor service and making sure we all get our lattes on time stopped doing what they're good at.
Eventually, they got bored and needed to channel the control freak mania some where. The only way they can still complain and be a pain in the ass, in a socially acceptable way, is by doing it for liberal causes.
So, now the service industry has gone to shit and moms are harassing ICE agents while their kids are at school.
The Karen meme turned this country to shit.
BREAKING: @JessicaTarlov just got NUKED on Fox by @Gutfeldfox after she tried to justify the LEFTIST who lost her life after attempting to take out an ICE agent.
He asked her how she would respond to news of her sister planning to impede operations, and she was left a MESS.
He gave her the answer everyone knows is true:
"You would say 'YOU NEED AN INTERVENTION.'"
We covered this on Fox. Farve received <$1M in speaking fees and southern Mississippi, where his daughter played volleyball, received $5M for their volleyball stadium. He was called to testify in Congress on this… by Republicans. He was required to pay back the money he received for speaking fees plus $700K in interest to the state.
I think I speak for most republicans and democrats when I say an equal amount of transparency and repatriation with interest would go a really long way in the multibillion dollar fraud allegations in Minnesota.
