If you’re a conservative political commentator or conservative media and you’re calling out how bad affordability is and you’re calling out neocons BUT unwilling to acknowledge and name Republicans in charge right now and unwilling to call out President Trump and his administration who is directly in charge, waging a war driving inflation and gas prices, then you cannot be taken seriously.
And you just recently got brave enough to dip your little toe in the water and say it out loud.
If you’re afraid you won’t get your little influencer invites, occasional reposts, or might get kicked out of the talking point group chats, then you have no credibility and you’re a big part of the problem.
You are no different than the press during Biden/Harris presidency that never questioned or challenged a thing.
You might want to wake up to reality that Trump won’t be in office much longer so you’re kissing up to a lame duck who has completely lost support of America First and the young generations of voters.
Don’t make me name names.
The future is ours.
Trump is the past.
BREAKING: President Trump says Chevron and ExxonMobil are “making too much money” and should return a portion of their profits to the American people.
The remarks mark a notable criticism of two of the nation’s largest oil companies from a president who has often championed expanded domestic energy production.
I'm sorry to sound like Cato the Elder, repeating the same warning over and over again, but the reality remains unchanged: no matter what President Trump says or threatens, Tehran shows no indication that it intends to back down.
As long as the maritime blockade remains in place and Washington continues to enforce it, Iran is likely to continue targeting commercial shipping transiting the southern channel of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as U.S. military facilities in the Gulf and Jordan. This is not a prediction with certainty; it is the baseline assumption that should guide policy based on the Islamic Republic's behavior and strategic logic.
The problem is that threats lose their value when they are not backed by a willingness to act. Every warning that is not enforced weakens American deterrence and raises doubts among U.S. partners about Washington's credibility. If the United States has no intention of following through, it should be far more cautious about issuing ultimatums. If it does intend to act, it must be prepared to accept the costs that come with that decision.
The larger problem is the refusal to acknowledge the strategic reality. The administration faces only difficult options. It does not control the Strait of Hormuz, it is not prepared for a large-scale war with Iran, and it is unwilling to accept an Iranian-dominated security order in the Strait. That strategic deadlock has encouraged the search for a "third way," but there is no magic solution to the Iran challenge.
Washington ultimately faces two broad choices: adapt its policy to the reality on the ground, or embark on a much broader military confrontation with Iran, one that would likely be costly, prolonged, and offer no guarantee of achieving America's political objectives. Trying to preserve the current status quo is not a sustainable strategy. There is little reason to believe Iran will stop attacking shipping or that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen under the current conditions.
The longer Washington avoids making this strategic choice, the greater the damage to American credibility, regional influence, and deterrence. Strategy begins with accepting reality as it is, not as policymakers wish it to be.

NEW:
🇺🇲🇮🇱 Marco Rubio officially announced that anyone who dares to criticize Israel will NOT be granted a visa to enter the United States.
Btw this doesn't apply if you criticise the US itself.
טראמפ הבין ושינה את דעתו: מאחורי הזיגזג מול איראן
לארה"ב יש יכולת להסב לאיראן נזק חסר תקדים, אבל לא בטוח שהוא יוביל לפגיעה אסטרטגית • המשטר בטהרן, מצידו, מוכן לשלם מחיר כבד • שלוש האופציות שעמדו לנגד עיניו של טראמפ, והשיקול שגרם לו לבטל את התקיפה - לפחות על פני השטח

🇺🇸 "Jeśli przegramy midterms, Demokraci pójdą po rodzinę prezydenta, cały gabinet, jego sponsorów, przyjaciół i was wszystkich, którzy popełniliście przestępstwa", mówi Mike Johnson, speaker Izby Reprezentantów. Gdzie wady?
Unfortunately the Rule passed just now and no debate or vote was allowed on section 219, integration of US military technology and supply chains with Israel’s.
The NDAA will receive a recorded vote tomorrow with section 219 in it. I’ll vote no.
