Former car dealer here. 47 years of desking deals. Guiding the negotiatons. Tens of thousands of negotiatons.
One at a time.
They're all different, and the same, at once.
One thing you come to learn is it's never over.
If it must be done in phases, it's done in phases.
The winning begins when the SIGNING begins, even if it's a ridiculous, unacceptable offer.
There is immense, negotiation-defining POWER, of the psychological kind, in getting a SIGNATURE on paper.
Get it, and you've simultaneously confirmed, and weakened the opposition's position, and you begin another phase.
"Sign 'em up".
If there is anyone who will eventually pay us what we need, it's that person that was willing to take the pen, and sign an offer.
Trump understands this.
Yes, the IRGC retains the ability to close the strait, but has given up all the other chips they swore they never would give up.
And THE PEOPLE of Iran will soon smell this weakness too.
You think you're disappointed, how do you think the disciples of the IRGC feel?
In time, they all will begin to dwell on what the IRGC have given up.
And what they've retained isn't worth as much as they once thought. Sure, the IRGC doesn't ever abide by any agreement, but it won't matter, if they are no longer in power.
They will be seen as weak by everyone that matters.
The final phase is coming. It's next.
Patience, people. It had to be done this way if troops were not to be put in danger.
And that's so obviously one of Trump's main goals.
It's the art of the deal. It's pure negotiating genius. Not really, he's just following the rules.
Coldly, confidently.
I may be one of the only ones, but I'm not worried.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sec. Marco Rubio just CANCELED the legal status of slain Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani's family members living in the US
They're now in ICE custody, pending DEPORTATION. 🔥
Long overdue, thank you Marco! 🇺🇸
🚨 NEW: The dam just broke in Minnesota and it’s uglier than anyone imagined
SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler now confirms the alleged $1 billion Somali fraud ring is so massive that the SBA is expanding its investigation across the entire state of Minnesota.
15 months after shutting down USAID: AIDS cases dropped & African all-cause mortality declined.
The “4 million kids will die” predictions were wrong.
@mikebenzcyber: “Why did AIDS go down when we cut USAID? …was USAID actually killing people, in addition to the USAID funded civil wars, drug dealing, gun running, and pandemics?”
Real world data > bureaucratic models.
The most affordable places in America are the places with the fewest Democrats in office.
The safest places in America are the places with the fewest number of Democrat voters.
There is a lesson here.
Despite the buses, money
& intimidation to pack Khamenei’s
funeral, the real crowd was tiny
& funny as hell.
This is the reality. The rest is just AI.
The United States of America is built on the primacy of the individual over the collective.
It is a concept that permeates literally ever aspect of our founding documents, and to this day anyone who seeks to politically promote the collective over the individual is acting in a manner contrary to the very reason for our nation's existence.
🚨 Breaking and absolutely massive. The DEA just dropped numbers that should shake the entire country awake. Under President Trump, the lethality of fentanyl pills on the street has collapsed. Not dipped. Not slid. Collapsed.
Two years ago, 76 percent of these pills were strong enough to kill you on the spot. Today that number is down to 29 percent. The DEA literally called it jaw dropping. That’s what happens when a real president puts every lever of government on an all hands on deck mission to save American lives.
This is what leadership looks like. This is how you fight a drug war that was killing our people by the thousands. Trump did it. He’s saving lives while the media pretends not to notice.
This is huge. This matters. Thank you President Trump.
I think this whole situation surrounding Mitch McConnell just became far more serious.
What authority was Elaine Chao acting under when she met with a senior CCP while her husband, a sitting U.S. senator, was hospitalized following a reported medical emergency?
Elaine Chao hasn’t held a U.S. government position since January 7, 2021, when she resigned as Secretary of Transportation.
The Logan Act prohibits unauthorized private citizens from conducting correspondence or negotiations with foreign governments regarding disputes or matters involving the United States.
If Elaine Chao was representing the United States with authorization from the U.S. government, the State Department should say so.
If she was acting solely as a private citizen while discussing U.S.-China relations with senior Chinese officials, it raises legitimate questions about whether the Logan Act could apply.
The State Department should immediately explain whether this meeting was officially sanctioned, what capacity Elaine Chao was serving in, and whether she had authorization to engage in those discussions.
President Trump has previously criticized Elaine Chao over her family’s business ties to China. Regardless of politics, the American people deserve transparency about the purpose of this meeting.
These questions are even more important because there are still serious unanswered questions about Senator McConnell’s condition. We still do not know the status of a sitting U.S. senator while his wife was meeting with the CCP.
Finally, has anyone confirmed whether Elaine Chao has returned to the United States? If so, when? If not, where is she now?
This is a national security issue. The American people deserve answers.
If Israel allowed it by not defending itself, Hamas would kill every Israeli child without flinching. And the people of Gaza would celebrate this. Just like they celebrated 9/11 and just like they celebrated the rape and slaughter of 1200 Israelis on 10/7.
If Hamas surrendered their weapons, there wouldn’t be a single Palestinian civilian killed.
That is the difference. And it is fundamental to every conversation on this issue.
The UAE skipped Khamenei’s funeral entirely. No delegation. No condolence message.
Instead, the UAE sent its Al Fursan aerobatic team to fly alongside the US Navy Blue Angels over American skies celebrating Americas 250th birthday.
Egypt to their Palestinian brothers: “We built this 7-layered wall costing billions on our border with Gaza to make sure not a single one of you bastards would flee into Egypt, but here's our football coach waving your flag ♥️🥰😍😘”
Liberals who support this guy have no idea what this dumbass just did to his family.
- NO RETIREMENT
- NO BENEFITS
- NO VA
- FELON STATUS
He’s married with children. So no insurance, pay, health care, or education benefits for him or his kids.
Congrats, liberals. Another useful idiot that wasted his life…and you’ll forget and move on. How compassionate.

🚨 LIVE IN DC: WTH Same old feds (or their assets) dressed up again, marching in formation with masks, shields, and flags.
Tactical gear, coordinated look, balaclavas on — this isn’t organic patriotism.
Real Americans aren’t hiding their faces like this on Independence Day. Eyes open, patriots.
Video proof.👇🏻
The Seattle Slimes is trying to come up with excuses for the 37% vacancy rate in office space in downtown Seattle.
The real reason because Seattle is a shithole.
I was a cop there for 33 years. I know what happened. Left-wing politics destroyed the most beautiful city in America.
The only way to save it, or bring it back from the dead, is to vote for much different people. But that is never going to happen. Seattle is dead.

So let me see if I've got the modern progressive position straight:
My European ancestors who arrived in 1607 were ruthless colonizers who 'stole' the land after undertaking a brutal, risky voyage across the ocean to build a new world from scratch. But an anchor baby born here twelve minutes ago to parents who crossed the border illegally yesterday is somehow entitled to every right, benefit, and claim on that same land?
Get fucked.
The fuel collapse in russia is now so complete that their refineries are deliberately dumping Euro-2 and Euro-3 gasoline on the domestic market. For anyone who missed chemistry class, that means sulfur content 15 to 50 times higher than the Euro-5 standard every modern engine is built for.
This is not an accident. It is a conscious choice by russian companies to poison their own car fleet rather than admit the sanctions and our strikes have broken their supply chain. Mechanics in moscovia are already posting about the sudden rush of blown engines, catalytic converters melted from the inside, fuel pumps shredded. The "grateful" reviews from ordinary drivers are about to flood their own internet, and every one of them should be screenshotted and sent back to the kremlin with a simple caption: this is what your imperial war looks like when it reaches your garage.
This is the same regime that tells its people they are winning while feeding them literal poison to keep the tanks rolling. Every extra ton of this garbage fuel burned in russia is another small proof that their economy is cannibalizing itself to sustain losses on Ukrainian soil. They cannot import enough high-quality components, they cannot refine what they pump, and instead of fixing the problem they simply lower the standard and hope the cars explode quietly.
Meanwhile Ukraine keeps grinding their logistics, hitting refineries, storage tanks, and rail hubs with increasing precision. By the end of 2026 our mid-range strike capability will be two to five times what it is now. Their operational-level supply lines will be burning faster than they can rebuild them. No amount of diluted gasoline or desperate mobilization waves changes that math. Throwing more bodies at the front only accelerates the body count; even their own z-bloggers admit it changes nothing except the speed at which russian mothers bury their sons.
This is not sustainable for them. It is not a sign of strength. It is the slow-motion collapse of a petro-state that chose empire over functioning society. Every driver whose engine dies because of this toxic sludge should understand exactly who sacrificed his car for putin's ego. The war does not stop because someone in Washington or Brussels whispers the word "negotiations." It stops when moscovia is militarily defeated, when its ability to project power is broken, when the imperial project itself is dismantled into something that can no longer threaten its neighbors.
We told you this would happen. The fuel collapse was predictable. The engine failures were predictable. The kremlin's willingness to poison its own population to keep the meat grinder fed was the most predictable part of all. Keep striking. Keep isolating their economy. Keep exposing every lie they sell to their own people. The bill always comes due, and this time it is arriving in the form of ruined engines and furious drivers who finally cannot drive away from the truth.
The climate hysterics shout at me for talking about weather NOT climate
And yet after a year of mostly grey days , many days cooler than average and masses of rain Dec- April , they use two very dubious warm days in the summer months to tell us we are BOILING and we just fear for our lives and pay more tax .
If only we had a Government that was truthful and which truly cared about its people
Admitted warm is good for humanity
Admitted its just normal cycles and we are coming out of a mini ice age and spike facts
Admitted co2 isn't bad
Focused on getting cheap energy to cool and heat our homes
And actively protected our green spaces and cleaned our rivers and sees
There would be no climate crisis , no hysteria
Just calm efficient governance and happy people
But then that seems to be the opposite of what the ruling class want these days
