A few hours before the fights, Daniel Cormier, a heavyweight fighter who retired in 2020, posted screenshots of D.M.s between him and Eric Trump, in which the president’s son asks if any of the bouts are going to be rigged so he can bet on them. https://t.co/OitRgIeniO

None of this makes any sense, except as desperate rationalizations from a man who cannot face facts and admit defeat. The president of the United States seems to be losing his grip on reality itself.

Iran says the deal to end the war with the US requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanon https://t.co/JrebcYy84R

[Carlos Abadi @NewSamawal]

The US secretly approved a financial and maritime arrangement between Qatar and Iran, under which billions of dollars were paid to Tehran in exchange for free passage for Qatari tankers and ships through the Strait of Hormuz, three diplomatic officials now confirm.

This was a deliberate and conscious course of action by the US administration, which allowed its navy to turn a blind eye to the arrangement, in complete contradiction of its declared policy. The move was intended to ease the crisis in global energy markets and curb rising oil prices.

Israel has said it will not withdraw from Lebanon, something Iran considers a 'prerequisite' for the deal 👇

Trump: We had two big moments—when I terminated the JCPOA, the Obama deal. It was a horrible deal for the United States. It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. They tried to bribe them to make a deal. That never works.

As I said (and this story confirms) Trump is keeping the tarp up.

His spun-glass ego can't handle this. Meanwhile, we're losing a war, gas is still expensive, and some guys are gonna kick each other on the South Lawn. *golf clap*
