Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.
It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran.
A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity.
Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.
Benjamin Netanyahu rejects President Trump’s ceasefire and says the war will continue against Iran at any time he chooses.
Netanyahu says he will achieve his objectives through further military action under his command.
“We are ready to resume the fighting at any moment.”
“Our finger is on the trigger.”
Were you aware that a cancer cure has existed for over a decade, and just approved for lung cancer in Saudi Arabia... however, that same drug is highly restricted in the United States?
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong went on air with Chris Cuomo and dropped a claim that should’ve stopped the country cold.
He says a universal cancer treatment - shown to extend survival in lung, breast, pancreatic, and even glioblastoma - already exists. The molecule (IL-15) was flagged over a decade ago as one of the most promising cancer-killing candidates ever. The trials exist. The survival data exists.
According to him, Saudi Arabia reviewed the science and approved it for lung cancer, while in the U.S., the exact same drug is still restricted to a tiny bladder-cancer use.
More than 13,000 patients are now reportedly requesting access.
Same drug.
Same data.
Different outcome.
If this can save lives, who decided Americans don’t deserve it yet?

🚨WOW. University of Arkansas chapter of Turning Point USA announces disaffiliation from the TPUSA national group one week after Erika Kirk Visits — Citing concerns about direction, and “losing sight of Conservative Values”
President Dino Fantegrossi:
"I joined TPUSA the first semester of my freshman year. That was ten semesters ago," Fantegrossi said. "This chapter has meant the world to me, and I am incredibly proud of everything we have accomplished."
Fantegrossi said the organization gave him "countless opportunities," but leadership at the campus chapter recently became concerned about the direction of the national group.
"It has seemed that this organization has lost sight of what is truly important. We are no longer focused on our guiding north star — that is, fighting for conservative policy, principles, and values," the statement said. "Instead, it feels that we have become consumed with metrics, creating the next viral cultural moment... we have become reactionary when we need to be proactive."
Fantegrossi said the chapter's executive board reached a unanimous decision to disaffiliate with TPUSA and rebrand to Young American Revival.
"We have many grievances with Turning Point USA, which we will shortly make known to them in private, but I will share only one. We are generally put off by how Charlie Kirk has been used by TPUSA since his assassination," Fantegrossi said. "Statements like 'Charlie would have said' and 'Charlie would have wanted' have felt in many instances disingenuous and manipulative."
The statement said that Young American Revival at the U of A will focus on advocating for Christian conservative values and policy and will be able to support "grassroots conservative candidates."

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points.
Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children.
He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself.
On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in.
His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted.
He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders.
His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.”
McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up.
When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”
BUSTED!
Looks like there was a camera in the room after all.
Officials state there are no cameras in the older portion of the Barus and Holley building where the shooting occurred at Brown University.
Google images shows several photos that appear to be from the same elevated location inside of "classroom 166" where the shooting is said to have occurred.
Yesterday, a local news reporter erupted during a briefing by authorities. He claimed his friend is a Detective who is furious that evidence is being purposefully hidden from authorities.
What happened to all the MAGA influencers with their Epstin binders in front of the White House?
I don't see any of them celebrating @RepThomasMassie today.
