Higher utility bills can be stressful. We have options to help make your bill more manageable. Level Pay can make budgeting easier by spreading costs throughout the year. Need more time to pay? Ask about a payment extension. We also have no-interest, no-fee payment arrangements.

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.

While I love Trump and I’ve never had much time for missile-wielding mullahs, this just isn’t how human psychology works. It can only be explained by a mystical, chiliastic faith in democracy. I wish my public servants would be more consistently cynical and realistic

What you will quickly find as you enter The Amazing USAID Vortex Of Despair is that virtually every powerful political & financial motor of American society that promotes & lobbies for USAID is either directly on USAID’s payroll, works at a place that is, or his/her donors do.

USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which then used U.S. taxpayer funds to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab—research that likely led to the creation of COVID-19.

The CIA’s deception regarding COVID-19 origins becomes much clearer when considering USAID's long history of serving as a CIA front organization.

With an annual budget exceeding $50 billion and activities in over 100 countries, USAID has repeatedly been linked to intelligence activities. Former USAID Director John Gilligan once admitted the agency was “infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people,” explaining that “the idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas: government, volunteer, religious, every kind.”

In 2013, a U.S. cable published by WikiLeaks outlined the U.S. strategy to undermine Venezuela’s government through USAID by "penetrating Chavez’s political base," "dividing Chavismo," and "isolating Chavez internationally."

In 2014, the Associated Press revealed that USAID funded the creation of a Twitter-like platform intended to incite a rebellion in Cuba.

USAID funding has been linked to coups in Haiti, Ukraine, Egypt, and other nations.

From 2009 to 2019, USAID partnered with EcoHealth Alliance on the PREDICT program, which identified 1,200 new viruses, trained 5,000 people globally in disease detection, and enhanced 60 research labs.

This partnership provided the CIA with a direct channel for embedding human assets within biological research facilities worldwide in exchange for funding and technology transfers.

In 2022, Dr. Andrew Huff, a former Vice President at EcoHealth Alliance, publicly revealed Dr. Peter Daszak’s alleged ties to the CIA.

The core issue?

The CIA lied to the American public about COVID-19’s origins because acknowledging the truth would expose its likely role in funneling taxpayer money through USAID to finance gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.

The United States seized 43 pounds of Fentanyl at the Canadian border last year alone. That’s enough Fentanyl to KILL 9,700,000 Americans…and that’s what we caught. Imagine what got through…and Trudeau is upset about tariffs? Mexico and Canada KNOW DAMN WELL what to do.

[Commentary Trump Daily Posts @TrumpDailyPosts]

South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!

Why is USAID running a global Internet censorship program, which pools together 100s of censorship NGOs into a common network, with the USAID program’s express stated goal being to pressure foreign governments to pass laws and regulations to censor speech on social media?

[Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber]

Why did USAID pay $20 million to hit piece journalists to dig up dirt on Rudy Giuliani and use that dirt as the basis to impeach the sitting US President in 2019?

MASSIVE win for @SecRubio

Following his meeting with the Panamanians, the country’s president announced that it will not be renewing its deal with China’s Belt and Road
