Trump in April saying: I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing swimming pools. I'm going to send my contractor over.

I backed Crockett in the Texas primaries. But you better believe Ima use everything I have and get all of my tribe in Texas to support Talarico and keep that demon Ken Paxton out of the Senate.

I'm backing Abdul, but if Stevens pulls this off, Ima do my best to ensure she wins over the Republican.

Why?

Because literal Eugenists and Fascists have full control over the government and are executing their plan to destroy the Republic and keep as many of us as sick as possible.

All this sore loser shit gotta go because, most importantly,

MAGA has to go.

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: A source close to Iranian officials says Tehran has documented a pattern of oil market manipulation tied to Axios reports and Trump administration insiders, including evidence of a $9 billion insider trading operation linked to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

Some of the documented timeline from the $9 billion insider profit:

Between April and May 2026, a series of suspiciously timed trades in oil futures markets preceded major Iran war announcements—each tied to reporting by Axios.

On March 23, approximately $500–580 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump announced he was postponing strikes on Iran. Oil dropped.

On April 7, roughly $950–960 million in shorts were placed hours before Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Oil fell around 15 percent.

On April 17, around $760 million in shorts were placed 20 minutes before Iran's foreign minister announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil dropped.

On April 21, approximately $430 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire. Oil dropped again.

On May 6, nearly $920 million to $1.7 billion in crude oil shorts were placed approximately 70 minutes before an Axios scoop claimed the U.S. and Iran were near a "14-point agreement." Oil dropped 12 percent. Traders made an estimated $125 million. Iran called the report "the Americans' wish list."

Previously, a senior Iranian official told investigative outlet Drop Site News that Tehran privately warned JD Vance during Switzerland talks that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations—"more interested in exploiting insider knowledge to profit in financial markets than reaching a deal."

💥 Statement of the Day

Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei claimed that Ukraine apologized for the attack on an Iranian ship, prompting Tehran to call off its planned retaliation.

“They contacted us themselves and said, ‘It was a mistake, we made a mistake.’ We had already prepared strikes against three targets in Ukraine, but after they said it was a mistake, we called them off. We are genuinely not seeking to escalate the war, and we do not want to start a new conflict.”

1. Last week, we revealed that the @nypost published a fake cover story claiming "thousands" of 9/11 families were trying to ban Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero.

Instead of admitting its error, the Post quietly edited the article, adding even less credible info.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Billionaires use "Buy Borrow Die" to never pay tax.

They BUY assets like stock.

Instead of selling and getting taxed, they BORROW against them.

When they DIE, heirs sell tax-free.

Meanwhile, you pay your taxes on every paycheck.

It's a scam and they wrote the rules.

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: Iranian officials believe Donald Trump will ultimately be forced to make major concessions—including $300 billion reconstruction package—and accept Tehran's core demands as Washington falls into a strategic stranglehold, according to a Reuters.

Reuters reports that Tehran is pursuing a strategy of calibrated escalation, steadily increasing the economic and political costs for the U.S. and its allies until Washington becomes more willing to compromise—particularly over the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials believe sustained pressure will leave Donald Trump with little choice but to negotiate on Iran's terms.

It's also worth being clear - that's what this is all about.

If you look at the members of Congress who are upset about federal regulation on prediction markets:

-They all come from states with *billions* in casino revenue.

-They all have donations from casino lobbying based groups.

-Nearly all of them supported the legislation that allowed sports gambling to aggressively advertise nationally.

Prediction markets make less on user trades as they are peer-to-peer regulated financial entity taking a trade fee, not the other side of the bet.

So even if you taxed them in each state, they'd pay less tax.

Lobbyists don't like that.

But they love the narrative of "they don't pay tax"

The president lives in an alternate reality manufactured by his messianic ego. He is clinically psychotic—totally unable to interface with the real world non-destructively.

We are being forced to live at the fault line between his grandiose delusions and objective reality.

In Trump’s mind, refusing to affirm his own twisted version of reality is the unpardonable sin. We either agree to frolic in his land of make believe or we are the enemy.

🇺🇸 Trump says the CEO of Chevron, who just gave an interview with Fox News, didn't sufficiently praise him...

"The only thing he conveniently forgot to mention is that, without the genius, foresight, strength, and stability of the TRUMP Administration, the oil industry, and our country itself, would be DEAD!"

Trump wants his credit. Always. 😂

The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.

[Tom Winter @Tom_Winter]

The answer to this question is mathmatic.

Japan owns $1.143 Trillion in US debt, according to the US Treasury.

So if Japan needed to defend its currency without the US buying Yen it would almost certainly sell its US debt.

That would lead to a rise in the interest rates.
