@GadSaad “Collateral damage”. How incredibly hateful, callous, and ignorant!

Just shared this with my national radio audience. Must-read.

@NickJFreitas You cannot make this stuff up.

@DanielDiMartino It’s crystal clear to anyone willing to listen and think for themselves!

The balls on Becerra - imagine running for Gov of California when you’re the guy who knowingly & intentionally trafficked children through our borders, to use his own words: “in an assembly line”? You have to be a special kind-of evil to send children to be raped, tortured, abused & sometimes murdered. Here he is critical of the staff for not moving fast enough - ie: not sending more children out & doing it faster. He ignored staff who reported children crying & pleading, he ignored reports of children who said they did not know their so-called “parent”, he ignored over 60 000 calls of children to the hotline they were given, children who were begging for help.

Have we completely lost our minds? That people will vote for this man after what he has done? I blame those who stay silent & refuse to face the truth. Why have we yet to hold Becerra & co accountable? WTF? Charge this man for what he has done to these children who came to this country without their parents, without the language most of us speak & without anyone to fight for them. They did not come to the American dream - those who are still alive are living a nightmare that has no end. Unless this Admin continues to track them down & save those who need to be saved.

@Tironianae Wow!

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Jake Tapper recently pulled up an old clip of me to lecture his audience on "principles" and claim conservatives won't call out the White House on restricting press access.

Well, Jake, there’s just one tiny problem with your expert-level reporting... I did call it out.

I stated explicitly on my broadcast that I disagree with this policy. I don't think it's wise policy. I don't like this policy. Just like it was under Obama. But in classic CNN fashion, you conveniently chopped that part out to manufacture a hypocritical hit piece.

You were right when you said that, "if you stand for principles only when they benefit you, you're only borrowing them." But maybe look in the mirror first before you try to use it to dunk on others. Weaponizing half-truths isn't journalism. It’s why your ratings are in the toilet, why no one is watching CNN, and why no one trusts a single word you say.

@PhilHollowayEsq That is some really lame fly fishing technique!

@ReturnOfKappy Karen Carpenter was also very talented but no one could stop her illness from taking her from us. I truly hope AG does not go that way.

Iran attacked a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

And nobody is talking about what the U.S. just erased in response.

🚨 🚨 🚨 THE U.S. STRUCK FOUR IRANIAN MILITARY SITES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ — DRONE STORAGE, MISSILE STORAGE, AND RADAR INSTALLATIONS — ALL GONE IN 90 MINUTES 🚨 🚨 🚨

On June 25, 2026, Iran launched at least four drones at the M/V Ever Lovely — a Singapore-flagged container ship exiting the Strait of Hormuz near the Omani coast. Three were intercepted. One hit the bridge. The ceasefire signed just nine days earlier was over.

THE WEAPON:
→ U.S. fighter jets — multiple aircraft, rapid execution, no warning
→ Operation window: approximately 60 to 90 minutes
→ Four distinct Iranian military sites targeted simultaneously
→ Drone storage facilities — Iran's primary one-way attack drone inventory
→ Missile storage facilities — ballistic and cruise missile stockpiles along the strait corridor
→ Radar installations — the eyes Iran uses to track and target maritime traffic
→ Location: Strait of Hormuz corridor and Qeshm Island
→ Authorization: direct response to what Trump publicly called a "foolish violation" of the ceasefire

THE TARGET:
→ The specific Iranian military infrastructure used to threaten the 20% of global oil that transits the Strait of Hormuz every single day
→ Drone and missile sites that enabled the June 25 attack on Ever Lovely — and every prior attack on commercial shipping
→ Radar systems that give Iran the targeting data to hit vessels at range without being seen first

THE MATH:
→ 1 cargo ship attacked → 4 Iranian military sites destroyed
→ 9 days since the ceasefire was signed → ceasefire is now functionally dead
→ 20% of the world's oil flows through the strait → every escalation here is an energy price event
→ U.S. officials confirmed: they are prepared to strike again if Iran escalates further

Read that again.

💀 Iran's drone stockpiles along the strait — GONE
💀 Iran's missile storage in the corridor — HIT
💀 Iran's radar targeting capability — BLINDED

⚠️ IRGC claimed retaliatory strikes on U.S. positions within 24 hours of the American response
⚠️ The ceasefire brokered around June 17 has now been breached and responded to militarily
⚠️ This isn't a warning shot. CENTCOM called it a "powerful response" — and said the U.S. is ready to go again.

They're showing you the headline: "U.S. strikes Iran after ship attack."

They're NOT showing you that the four sites destroyed were the exact infrastructure Iran needs to threaten every vessel in the most important shipping lane on Earth — and that the U.S. just told Tehran it will keep erasing that infrastructure every time Iran uses it.

You don't destroy drone storage, missile storage, AND radar in a single 90-minute operation just to "send a message." You do it when you want to degrade the capability so completely that the next attack is harder to execute. And you only do that when you're prepared for this to keep going.

Process that.

Most people won't see this. RT to change that. 🔥

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

@PlanetTyrusPod @PlanetTyrus Kudos for perfectly executing what many (most) journalists fail to do - ask a question and wait. Let the silence hang there while the interviewee formulates their response. I apologize if this seems like a petty observation given the gravity of the topic. But this was well done
