@John_Mehaffey FQ used to be my go-to casino for VP. Over the last 10 years they've removed probably 60% of the floor VP machines (including the magnificent progressive bank underneath Magnolia). Bars used to be 9/6 now 8/5. I seldom visit FQ these days. Sad

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.

Keir Starmer had the opportunity, authority, and duty to protect these young British girls and he deliberately let off the gang rapists and pedophiles with pathetic warning letters.

It's beyond comprehension.

Europe is burning — literally.

Last night in Paris, “celebrations” after PSG’s win turned the City of Light into a war zone: cars torched, streets trashed, buses and stops smashed, tear gas deployed, hundreds arrested. This isn’t new. It’s the predictable result of decades of mass, unvetted immigration from cultures that don’t assimilate into Western values. They want the money and the lifestyle but they bring their country with them.

France, Sweden, UK, Germany, Italy— the pattern is exactly the same.

They have no desire to assimilate and join, they’re just here to oak in the freebies. What does that leave us with? Parallel societies. No-go zones. Soaring rates of certain crimes (knife attacks, sexual assaults, gang violence) disproportionately linked to non-integrated migrants.

Overcrowded prisons where foreigners punch above their population weight in stats from Spain to Scandinavia. Failed multiculturalism that imports tribal conflicts, welfare strain, and demands for Sharia over secular law.

Birth rates and demographics shifting fast, eroding the cultural cohesion that built the West’s prosperity, freedoms, and safety.

Enrichment? Tell that to the native families avoiding neighborhoods, the women losing streets at night, or the taxpayers funding endless integration failures. When you flood societies with millions who reject the host culture’s Enlightenment roots — individualism, rule of law, women’s rights, free speech — you don’t get vibrancy. You get fragmentation, rising extremism, and cities that feel foreign to their own people.

America, take the warning. Our southern border chaos, catch-and-release, and sanctuary policies are importing the same recipe. Criminal aliens with records, fentanyl flooding in, urban crime spikes in some cities, and growing enclaves rejecting American exceptionalism.

We’ve seen the videos, the stats on encounters, the strain on services. We must not ignore Europe’s lesson at our peril: without secure borders, assimilation as non-negotiable, and prioritization of citizens, we’ll trade liberty and opportunity for the same decline.

Mass immigration without integration isn’t compassion — it’s civilizational suicide.

Wake up, enforce the rules, preserve what makes the West worth living in. Or watch it burn.🔥

Oh, Hillary. Hillary, Hillary. You ignorant slut.

As the Senior Military Aide to President Bill Clinton, YOU’RE military aide — the officer who carried the nuclear football in and out of the White House every single day — I saw the “people’s house” up close alongside you. @HillaryClinton

Spare us the sanctimonious lectures. And turn on your replies, coward.

When you and Bill left in January 2001, your staff ransacked the place. Remember?

“W” keys ripped off every keyboard. Phone lines cut. Desk drawers glued shut. Obscene voicemails and vulgar graffiti left behind.

Presidential seals and silverware stolen. Furniture damaged. The GAO confirmed the vandalism and theft. It wasn’t “transition friction” — it was a disgrace.

You trashed the People’s House on your way out the door and now you’re clutching pearls over Trump?

I remember, Hillary. I was there. Remember?

The hypocrisy is Olympic-level, Ms. Clinton. And you know it! You of ALL people know it!

The American people have long memories. Especially this one! Me!

We remember who actually looted the place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Shut up and color.

* It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that - "I am a Muslim."
* It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi King.
* It was you who sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning America and professing Marxism.
* It was you who exempted Muslims from penalties under Obamacare that the rest of us have to pay.
* It was you who purposefully omitted - "endowed by our Creator " - from your recitation of The Declaration Of Independence.

* It was you who refused to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, but hastened to host an Islamic prayer breakfast at the White House
* It was you who ordered Georgetown Univ. and Notre Dame to shroud all vestiges of Jesus Christ BEFORE you would agree to go there to speak, but in contrast, you have NEVER requested the mosques you have visited to adjust their decor.
* It was you who appointed anti-Christian fanatics to your Czar Corps.
* It was you who appointed rabid Islamists to Homeland Security.
* It was you who said that NASA's "foremost mission" was an outreach to Muslim communities.
* It was you who as an Illinois Senator was the ONLY individual who would speak in favor of infanticide.
* It was you who was the first President not to give a Christmas Greeting from the White House, and went so far as to hang photos of Chairman Mao on the White House tree.
* It was you who curtailed the military tribunals of all Islamic terrorists.
* It was you who refused to condemn the Ft. Hood killer as an Islamic terrorist.
* It is you who has refused to speak-out concerning the horrific executions of women throughout the Muslim culture, but yet, have submitted Arizona to the UN for investigation of hypothetical human-rights abuses.
* It was you who when queried in India refused to acknowledge the true extent of radical global Jihadists, and instead profusely praised Islam in a country that is 82% Hindu and the victim of numerous Islamic terrorists assaults.
* It was you who funneled $900 Million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Hamas.
* It was you who ordered the United States Postal Service to honor the MUSLIM holiday with a new commemorative stamp.
* It was you who directed our UK Embassy to conduct outreach to help "empower" the British Muslim community.
* It was you who funded mandatory Arabic language and culture studies in Grammar schools across our country.
* It is you who follows the Muslim custom of not wearing any form of jewelry during Ramadan.
* It is you who departs for Hawaii over the Christmas season so as to avoid past criticism for NOT participating in seasonal White House religious events.
* It was you who was uncharacteristically quick to join the chorus of the Muslim Brotherhood to depose Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, formerly America's strongest ally in North Africa; but, remain muted in your non-response to the Brotherhood led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.
* It was you who appointed your chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian, who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It was you the whole time who ushered in this mess we are in!
