JD Vance just gave the clearest breakdown of the Trump vs. Obama Iran deal distinction I've heard.
Here it is — the Gulf State test:
The Gulf Coast Coalition loves this deal.
They hated the Obama deal.
Why?
They thought Obama made Iran stronger.
They think Trump makes Iran weaker.
Vance: "They know more about this, and they have more to lose than anybody, including the USA. So I trust their judgment."
The negotiating position:
Obama in 2015: Iran has a sophisticated nuclear program. Let's bribe them with American money to stop it.
Trump in 2026: We already destroyed your nuclear program. Promise not to rebuild it, and you get some sanctions relief.
One is negotiating from fear.
The other is negotiating from rubble.
The substance:
"The Obama nuclear deal allowed enrichment, ours will not."
"The Obama deal allowed the accumulation of stockpiled weapons-grade material, ours is actually leading to the destruction of that stockpile of enriched material."
"The Obama deal gave them over a billion dollars of American money. This deal gives them $0 of American money."
Bottom line from @JDVance:
"We're coming at it from a position of strength, and the fact that our gulf coast partners love this deal."
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
BREAKING NEWS: Washington @Nationals Director of Community Relations Admits on Hidden Camera to Active Religious Discrimination Against Starting Pitcher Trevor Williams, Surveillance of Nationals Fans’ Google History, and Segregated LGBTQ+ Corporate Meetings to an O’Keefe Undercover Journalist
“One of our pitchers, Trevor Williams. He’s super Christian-Catholic, all these tattoos that mean a lot.”
“The Dodgers had a group… who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. He [Trevor Williams] went on social media like… ‘This is my religion. You all are mocking it.’”
“Because of that, we [Washington Nationals] don’t use him [Trevor Williams] on social [media].”
“Like, when they're like, is a hot dog a sandwich? And like, the players come up, you know what I mean? Like, we [Nationals] don't ask him [Trevor Williams].”
“If you ever come to a Nats game, there is someone on our team who is responsible for figuring out everything about you and assigning you into a bucket of people. If you’re accepting cookies, we’re getting a plethora of your Google history.”

Former band members from the popular 90's CCM band Avalon have re-released the song "Testify To Love" as an LGBTQ affirming anthem and claim it's always has been about queer love.
One of those former members, Melissa Greene, writes in her Substack post alongside photos of another band member kissing his husband at the altar that "love is for everyone" and "Michael never needed to be redeemed. He was always whole and worthy."
This phenomenon of believing that we are somehow nicer than God, that Romans 1 is too harsh or that passages affirming the holiness of marriage between one man and one woman are simply too difficult to accept, is false. We go to God's word for what's true about sexuality and marriage.
If something in the Word of God seems wrong, cruel, or confusing to us, the problem is not with God. It’s not with His Word. It’s with us.
“Let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.” 1 Peter 4:19
1. God’s sovereign will decrees suffering for his child.
2. A Christian suffers.
3. The suffering Christian trusts God.
4. The suffering, trusting Christian does good deeds.
Memo to the fake news - the only time I’ll ever actually be concerned about the hit piece lies you write about me will be when you stop. Keep talking, it means I’m doing exactly what I should be doing. And no amount of BS you write will ever deter this FBI from making America safe again and taking down the criminals you love.

Time to get loud for @PeteHegseth
If you strongly support Pete Hegseth and everything he’s doing to help keep America safe, drop a “👍”
I tagged him so he will definitely see it
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
I have heard it said, “God didn’t die for frogs. He died for humans, implying we were worth the sacrifice.” This turns grace on its head. We are less deserving than frogs. They have not sinned. They have not rebelled and treated God with the contempt of being inconsequential in their lives. God did not have to die for frogs. They aren’t bad enough. We are. Our debt is so great, only a divine sacrifice could pay it.
@Pontifex Interesting that Lutherans such as myself are specifically anathematized under the Council of Trent for believing we are saved by faith in Christ alone but Algerian Muslims who forbid Christians from sharing that Gospel are in “communion” with Rome.
🚨BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just released never-before-seen declassified documents exposing a coordinated Deep State conspiracy inside the Intelligence Community used to impeach President Trump in 2019.
The Whistleblower — a CIA analyst and self-declared registered Democrat who traveled with VP Biden to Ukraine and attended official Biden luncheons — admitted in his own filing to having zero firsthand knowledge of the Trump-Zelensky call, lied about contacting Adam Schiff's Democratic staff before filing, and relied on a key witness who co-authored the 2017 Russia Hoax ICA and worked alongside disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok.
That witness admitted he couldn't connect the same dots, had to "read between the lines," and only perceived a quid pro quo "in hindsight."
The documents further reveal the Whistleblower tried to block Devin Nunes — a Gang of Eight member legally entitled to view the disclosure — from seeing it, expressed dislike of current FBI Director Kash Patel, and described NSC staffer Michael Ellis as "slippery and untrustworthy."
IC IG Atkinson never requested the actual call transcript, sent a criminal referral to DOJ on second-hand testimony alone, altered the whistleblower form to remove the firsthand knowledge requirement, and ignored explicit DOJ guidance that the complaint didn't rise to the level of "urgent concern."
He wrote Congress anyway. The DOJ found no criminal violation.
Trump defense attorney Alan Dershowitz: "The evidence about the bias and credibility of the whistleblower was hidden by bureaucrats — a disservice to justice and the American people."
Devin Nunes called it "a staged attack by anti-Trump malcontents who believed they, not the American people, should determine who is president."
The exculpatory transcripts were locked in a safe and withheld from Trump's defense team until House Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford forced their release on March 24, 2026.
If you remember, the censorship was so bad at the time that Facebook and YouTube banned users simply for saying the Whistleblower's name: Eric Ciaramella.
This is Adam Schiff lying directly to the American people on the House floor during the impeachment hearing, claiming he had no idea who the whistleblower was — while his own staff had already been in contact with him.
If you remember, at the time, the censorship was so bad against President Trump and his supporters, that Facebook and YouTube banned users simply for saying the Whistleblower's name: Eric Ciaramella.

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks.
The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people.
ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher.
My Take
The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing.
I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all.

Every Chinese citizen trained at U.S. flight schools expands the Chinese Communist Party’s military options.
I am calling on the TSA to update the Flight Training Security Program so that American flight training serves American interests, not Xi Jinping’s!
John Solomon breaks down the bombshell story that @JustTheNews broke earlier today about the FBI was running multiple investigations into Trump.
We all know about Crossfire Hurricane and Arctic Frost, but Kash Patel’s FBI has uncovered that there were multiple investigations into Trump under Chris Wray’s FBI.
The FBI literally treated the duly elected President as a national security threat for 9 years. Let that sink in! The man the majority of Americans voted into office was treated like a national security threat by the people trying to cling on to power.
“From the moment President Trump secured the nomination in the summer of 2016, to raised his hand for his 2nd inauguration in 2025, he was subjected to four straight consecutive counterintelligence probes… the FBI… essentially treated the man twice elected president, as a national security threat. That’s what a counterintelligence investigation is.”
The four probes (that we know about) are broken out as follows:
1. Crossfire Hurricane (Russian collusion hoax)
2. Round River (treated anyone who looked into Hunter Biden as a national security threat)
3. Plasmic Echo (investigation into Susie Wiles and Kash Patel)
4. Arctic Frost (investigation into Trump & MAGA supporters for the 2020 election)
The levels of corruption just keeps getting worse & worse as we find out more & more. There was no red line they would not cross to get Trump.
People need to go to jail for this - and they will.
@jsolomonReports
The immortal visual of the entire Democrat party—upon explicit repeated invitation—refusing to stand for the core moral principle that US government owes its allegiance to US citizens and not foreign criminal invaders, is the most shocking image in the history of the US Congress.
This is what some folks have been highlighting over the last 5-6 months. The differential privacy algorithm was used, and abused, by Census Bureau in 2020 to manipulate data.
BLACKLISTED: In September the Knoxville Symphony invited me to their blind audition for Principal Clarinet, which I won by unanimous vote. Two days later their CEO called and refused to hire me, citing my ousting from the Nashville Symphony six years ago for resisting DEI as the reason, and instead gave the job to my runner-up, an obvious DEI hire who’s still in college.
In response I sued the Knoxville Symphony two weeks ago for a year’s salary plus $25k for the 100 hours I spent practicing for the audition. This isn’t just about money though, it’s also about pushing back against these symphony CEOs who continue to put race and politics above merit and skill. Someone has to save our symphonies from being sacrificed on the altar of “diversity” and no one is better positioned to do it than me. Wish I didn’t have to do it but I’m doing it anyway.
I was excited to take the stage with the Knoxville Symphony but instead I’ll see them in court. If Knoxville thought I’d walk away from this they were sorely mistaken.
