🚨📢 Excited to announce that I’ve signed a deal with St Martin’s to write a new book: WE WIN, THEY LOSE: The Untold Story of How the Miracle on Ice Turned the Tide of the Cold War.

It will be the first book to examine the Miracle on Ice not simply as the greatest moment in sports history but as a geopolitical event that helped restore America’s self confidence, rally the country behind Ronald Reagan’s plan for victory, and changed the course of world history. Can’t wait to started!

All true. But ancient housing stock does not prevent installation of window units. And it’s not just the price of electricity, many countries impose exorbitant fines for “illegal” Zac units!

[Barney Hussey-Yeo @Barney_H_Y]

What people in the US don’t understand about AC in Europe is just how much poorer Europeans are than Americans.

They can’t afford it. They can’t afford to install it, and they can’t afford to run it.

We have ancient housing stock not built for AC, which pushes up installation costs, plus sky-high energy bills that make it untenable for most.

Europe’s AC problem is the same as all its other problems: no economic growth + sky-high welfare spending = no capital for investment.

And Romania shut down its airport to civilian traffic to accommodate U.S. aircraft

I know their leaders didn’t publicly support it. But privately, they did.
- 500 U.S. sorties flew from Italy
- U.S. operated out of the UK, and the UK shared intel and conducted air defense in the Gulf
- the French gave full access to their bases and airspace and sent air-defense systems, including a SAMP/T and multiple helicopters, to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Kuwait
- Germany’s Ramstein Air Base is a central command-and-logistics hub for the military campaign

Last month, we put the open borders industrial complex on notice—fraudulent asylum claims would result in fines against attorneys. Today we fined an attorney over $255k for filing multiple fraudulent claims on behalf of Indian nationals. https://t.co/tqskAzbRjM

The new Iran oil sale authorizations quietly hand the regime back what U.S. policy, Under President Obama, took away in 2012: a pathway into the U.S. dollar and our financial system. Based on President Trump’s and Secretary Bessent’s own statements, this may not be the relief they thought they were granting, but at a technical level, it’s exactly what the regime got.

It is still not too late to protect the USD and revise this authorization to align with the President’s stated intent.

[Rebeccah Heinrichs @RLHeinrichs]

Yes. I have genuine objections to provisions of the MOU. But it is simply not honest to make the hard criticisms without appreciating that Ops Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury gives us an entirely different baseline. (Those strawmanning concerns about the deal OPPOSED those ops btw).

Tucker Carlson:

I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party. How could I support a political party that is not loyal to the United States?

I voted Republican my entire life. I have been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party, but there is no defending this.

I'm out.

[Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton]

Senator Sheehy is right.

The Iranian regime cares nothing for gas prices or opening the strait.

Its single, explicit goal is the destruction of America and Israel. https://t.co/y26cfcoR5I

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

There are MINI MAMDANIs popping up all around the country.

It is a dangerous thing — this is NOT a joke.

We are in a fight RIGHT NOW to save the Republic and EVERY AMERICAN needs to take this seriously.

Secretary of State Rubio: “It is impossible to end the war if Iran’s proxies keep launching missiles. The Lebanon file is separate from the Iran file.”

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The situation in Cuba is devolving as the island’s corrupt, brutal and anti-American Communist regime continues to prioritize its own total control over the freedom, opportunity and basic wellbeing of the Cuban people.

The Cuban military-controlled conglomerate GAESA has persistently served as the main vector for regime elites to steal the island’s few resources, diverting them for repression, anti-American subversion and spying instead of schools, power plants, and basic necessities for the Cuban people. Today, I designated additional GAESA network entities associated with moving both its money and its physical assets, as well as entities responsible for exploiting Cuba’s mineral and metal reserves for ill-gotten profit.

Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of being sanctioned themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities immediately.

This is the “Al Jazeera cameraman” Israel killed over the weekend.

Maybe he just didn’t tell his employer he had a side hustle as a Hamas sniper?

[Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen]

Helms-Burton for the win!

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

The 2nd opinion is in Exxon Mobil. The court, by a vote of 6-3 along ideological lines, holds that the Helms-Burton Act itself trumps the sovereign immunity of Cuban agencies and instrumentalities.

Great to join @kilmeade on @foxandfriends to discuss Iran negotiations. The $80B Iran supplemental should be paid for by Iranian frozen assets!

[AEI Foreign Policy @AEIfdp]

All eyes have been on Iran. But what about Ukraine?

In their latest wth episode, @dpletka and @marcthiessen meet with George Barros to discuss how Ukraine is reshaping the battlefield with innovations in drone warfare, logistics, and combat technology.

Truth

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Iran’s World Cup team left behind a handwritten message in its SoFi Stadium locker room following its 0-0 draw with Belgium.

The message was left after Iran’s first two games in Los Angeles — a national team playing inside the country with which it had been at war with.

[Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen]

😂😂😂😂

[Tom Watson @tom_watson]

This is appallingly insensitive.
