“There have been these extraordinarily well-funded efforts to tank the negotiation, to prevent us from reaching a deal..”
Time to end ALL foreign money in U.S. politics.
J.D. Vance just revealed how foreign interests are trying to undermine Iran peace efforts.
“There's this Times article that came out yesterday. A friend sent it to me. It's like worth reading because it lists a bunch of people who have quite literally been paid by a former Trump campaign person who was himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government. And those people are attacking me viciously for quite literally trying to accomplish the negotiation objective that the president set for the country."
“We should just keep the military campaign going indefinitely. And that is that is their explicit position.”
“People are always going to try to influence the United States of America, whether they're allies of ours or whether they're enemies of ours.
But again, when I open up the pages of Time magazine and I see that there's a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing, and oh, by the way, many of the people who were receiving that money were actually attacking me in completely dishonest ways, you know, my response to that is, well, go to hell. I'm going to do what I have to do for the American people. I represent Americans first, and that's the way that I've I've tried to to do this job.”
Amen. Ban all of the foreign money in American politics. It’s time.
Marco Palestra on his favourite position:
🗣 "If I had to choose, I would say the right, but I'm fine on the left too. I started out playing in midfield until the Under-17s, then they had a shortage of left backs due to injuries, so the coach put me there.
I was really angry at first, I didn't like it, but after three games I was moved to right back, and there I realised this could be my position. If I had continued as a midfielder, maybe I wouldn't be where I am now. I wasn't exactly someone who stood out."

🚨💣 REAL MADRID OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
“In response to reports in various media outlets regarding an alleged interest from our club in Bayern Munich player Michael Olise, Real Madrid CF wishes to state that it has not had any direct or indirect contact with the aforementioned player, his representatives, or anyone in his entourage.
Real Madrid also wishes to highlight the excellent institutional relationship it maintains with Bayern Munich, with whom it shares a long history of mutual respect, collaboration and admiration, and regrets the spread of speculation that does not correspond to reality.
Both clubs have always maintained a relationship based on trust and mutual respect, which is reflected, among other aspects, in the shared conviction that any potential interest in a player belonging to the other club must be dealt with first between the entities themselves, in accordance with the principles of institutional loyalty that have historically governed the relations between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.”
🚨 JUST IN from @David_Ornstein:
Arsenal are demanding up to £20m for Gabriel Jesus this summer. 🇧🇷
Enquiries from multiple clubs for the striker and quoted £18-20m.
He can go as free agent when contract expires in 2027 but Arsenal are not considering cheap sale before then.
