He was deported once.
The first Trump administration sent him back to Mexico.
He came back. Illegally. To the same state.
He was arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. ICE asked the jail to hold him.
The state refused.
He walked out.
A year later, he stabbed a 23-year-old mother, her 54-year-old mother, and her two-week-old son to death in their own home in Modesto.
He had been told to leave the country. He came back.
He had been caught four separate times for drunk driving.
He had been requested by federal immigration four separate times.
The state of California, on principle, said no every time.
And a two-week-old baby paid for it.
He should be alive.
His mother should be alive.
His grandmother should be alive.
God bless every American who refuses to call this normal.
Last weekend, details about the Iran deal started leaking out in the Iranian press. The White House and, particularly, the Vice President, said those were lies and propaganda.
By Tuesday, the Vice President said it was โIranian propaganda,โ and he blasted the American press for regurgitating them.
When the deal finally came out, after days of the Vice President insisting he did not understand diplomatic protocol and could not actually release the details, it turned out that all the stuff the Iranian regime said was in the deal was actually in the deal.
Yesterday, the Treasury Department freed Iran to start selling oil. Most outside analysts project Iran can, in 60 days, sell $10 billion worth of oil.
Last week, Marco Rubioโs State Department notified Congress that Iran prioritizes funding terrorism with its oil sales.
Last week, Vice President Vance insisted Iran could not sell oil without first performing various actions under the plan.
This week, Iran is getting its oil sales, they have done nothing under the plan, and, based on our Secretary of Stateโs data, we can presume terrorism will be funded.
Iran is also getting an additional $12 billion, out of the gate, without doing anything, as a show of goodwill from Qatar. The money comes from Iranโs frozen assets, helpfully freed up by the President of the United States.
The Vice President now says Iran will buy our agriculture products. Iranโs leaders say that this is not only not true, but Iran would rather starve than fund the Great Satan.
The Vice President also says Iran agrees to allow in IAEA inspectors. Again, Iran says this is not true.
Last week, when Iran disputed American statements, it turned out the Iranian side was telling the truth. Can we believe the Vice President this week?

Where will you spend eternity?
When will it begin for you?

Iran says Strait of Hormuz won't have "tolls" but will have "fees." That's because charging a toll is illegal under international law. But fees are allowed for "services," like the service of not hitting your ship with a drone. https://t.co/6tqK4lKdbG
This is good news for the markets, but what matters is the details. So letโs set objective standards right now:
Good deal:
- Removal of enriched nuclear material
- Freeze of nuclear program with clear inspections and inspection mechanism
- Sanctions relief dependent on ending support for terror proxies in other countries.
- suspension of ballistic missile program
- End control of S of H.
- Tehran does not dictate what happens in Lebanon.
Meh deal (~JCPOA):
- Give up enriched nuclear material and freeze of nuclear program in exchange for some sanctions relief
- Return to free trade flow on SoH
- Sanctions related to terror support remain in place until terror proxy funding ends
Bad deal:
- Financial bailout with no concrete commitment on nuclear material or program and no direct mechanism for enforcement
- No limits on support for terror proxies tied to sanction relief
The MOU can be an intermediary step but can only be considered good if it allows outcome above without US giving up leverage first. Because then step 2 will never happen and no amount of spin can sell a bad deal.
@USATODAY What's more necessary?
Writers with a better command of English?
Writers who proofread and double-check their work before it's published?
Editors who are responsible for eliminating sloppy copy?
In the case of @USATODAY, all the above.
Sadly, AI writes better headlines.
