🚨 Reports indicate that about an hour ago, Iran launched an intensive missile and drone attack on a U.S. aircraft carrier, resulting in the immediate deaths of about 200 people, including soldiers and security personnel. 🚀🇺🇸🇮🇷💥
MTG succinctly explains something most Americans don’t know: There are two votes on every bill in the House, and frequently the first (unreported) vote matters more than the second vote for final passage:
The Strait of Hormuz will remain in the hands of Iran. There is nothing Trump can do about it. The Islamic Republic is prepared for an all-out war, and it knows that it can and will crush the US economy if Trump makes the ultimate foolish decision.

NEW: 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Marco Rubio promised him that he will destroy the International Criminal Court for him:
“I spoke yesterday with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and once again he reaffirmed to me the United States' intention to act forcefully against the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The ICC endangers justice around the world, and it also threatens the right of democratic, sovereign states to exercise their sovereignty.
In effect, it seeks to subject their security to the decisions of a corrupt clique in The Hague.”
🗣️ Marc Cucurella:
“I’d never seen this side of Lionel Messi until this World Cup. We always spoke highly of him as someone who was respectful and humble, but this tournament completely changed my opinion of him.
When he reported me to the referee because I slightly touched my mouth, I was shocked. I never expected a player like him to do that.
Throughout the World Cup, I saw him telling referees to book players who tackled him. People call him humble, but I don’t see it that way. Watching everything that happened over the last two World Cups made me question the legacy he’s built.
Cristiano Ronaldo has always been honest about who he is, confident, outspoken, and never pretending to be someone else. I’d choose Ronaldo over Messi any day because I’ve played against both and know what they’re really like.”
🗣️ Luis Enrique: I coached Leo Messi at Barcelona, and today I can no longer stay silent because I want FIFA to treat this issues before the next World Cup.
Messi is undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers I've ever worked with. His talent is unquestionable. But greatness should never be used to justify what many fans now see as controversial decisions.
What I witnessed in this World Cup has left me frustrated and disappointed. The officiating, the inconsistency, and the perception that certain teams receive favorable treatment are damaging the credibility of football.
For me, Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy was built on hard work, discipline, consistency, and merit. Whether you support him or not, his achievements speak for themselves without needing controversy to define them.
As a coach, I will never support anything that compromises the integrity of the game. Football should be won on the pitch-not through decisions that leave millions of fans questioning the fairness of the competition.
I'd rather lose with honor than win surrounded by controversy.
FIFA must protect the integrity of footk before fans lose faith in the beautiful game
In a recent interview, former Barcelona midfielder and ex-Spain international player Xavi Hernandez was asked about Messi and Argentina performance in the final.
“Messi is my friend and a great player We shared so many unforgettable moments at Barcelona. But I also saw how he cheat in matches to win. I saw how they cheated in certain matches. The referee was clearly on their side in key moments. I’m glad the Spanish team conquered them when we faced them we showed what real football is about.”
When the interviewer asked about the 2022 final against France. Xavi shook his head and replied
“France was robbed that night. Messi’s goal was completely offside anyone who understands the game could see it. The decisions went one way the entire tournament. I respect Messi a lot, I really do. But real legends win matches without cheating in the game, without needing help from outside. That’s what separates the good from the truly great.”
