Here is what someone should tell the President, because it bears on his own political survival.

A well-armed tyranny ruling an unarmed population is remarkably durable under economic pain. The Iranian regime can starve its people and shoot the ones who object. It has done so for decades. It will absorb two-hundred-dollar oil and call it resistance.

A republic founded not on theocratic rule, but on rule of the people, by the people, and for the people is different. It answers to voters — and these voters elected a President on a promise to crush the inflation Joe Biden left behind. Instead, they have watched costs climb under tariffs, trade wars, and now an actual war that has sent energy prices soaring with no end in sight. The mullahs can outlast their economic misery. The coalition that put this President in office cannot. Mr. Trump is betting the American voter has the patience of a captive Iranian. That is a bet he will lose.

The honorable path is also the sound one: finish what we started, or get out of the way of the ally willing to. Reopen Hormuz by force if Iran will not do it by agreement. Stop calling a war a ceasefire and stop dignifying a rout as diplomacy.

Otherwise, the verdict will be brief and brutal. We had Iran beaten. We talked ourselves out of the win. And we let a regime that shoots its own citizens lecture us on what a ceasefire means — while we nodded along, shooting, as the President put it, “in a more moderate manner.”

Lots of pro russian Irish people telling me to ‘go to the front lines & leave Ireland’

I’ve just come here from Nikopol. The press armour is still in my bag. I watched Russian drones hunt civilians with my own eyes. That’s why the indifference here is so despicable, especially while Ireland still supplies alumina to Russias war machine.

I’m not going anywhere. This investigation continues

[Tabitha Stevens8 @TabithaStevens8]

@SpencerJJoseph Where's the outrage?

[Rachel Moiselle @RachelMoiselle]

Ireland now provides Russia with 99% of all alumina from the EU. The utter shame of it. Where is the outrage?

[Ayn Reagan @AynReagan]

Yet another guy who is funnier than Cockroach Dave Smith. Trump has prevented Israel from defeating Hamas and Hezbollah and the IRGC. So the accurate statement would be that if not for Trump the Jewish State would be safe. The mask is coming off.

I am no longer a Democrat. And can't be as long as the Party welcomes Nazis and terrorists.

[LoLNothingMatters @DastDn]

It would have been worth it, were we actually waging a war on Iran.

[Tabitha Stevens8 @TabithaStevens8]

@rezazia Israel needs a friendly Iran. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[Reza Zia @rezazia]

Hopefully, this means Netanyahu is not going to let Trump corner him to end the war before finishing the job, because Marco Rubio speaking before the US senate said the war was over.

[Cathal Kelly @CathalK555]

We are the laughing stock of the western world. More interested in middle eastern politics that we cannot change a single thing about, rather than supporting a democratic European partner defend itself against tyrannical barbarism. The Irish left are an embarrassment.

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

The thing about Lebanon is that the Lebanese government wants Hezbollah gone too, and are working with the IDF to take over those areas.

So when people demand Israel retreat and Hezbollah be preserved, they are literally arguing against Lebanon’s sovereignty.

[Melanie @mheinz16]

Trump is going to implement more tariffs. He really doesn't care that people want lower prices, does he? In addition, he must not realize that tariffs hurt businesses.
Like the IEEPA tariffs, this is an abuse of power. I'm not very hopeful like Somin is here about the chance of them being struck down because I think that tariffs implemented through Sec. 301 are harder to fight.

[Tabitha Stevens8 @TabithaStevens8]

Of course @GiorgiaMeloni hasn't said a word.

[Hamas Atrocities @HamasAtrocities]

2 Italian members of the Flotilla are detained in Libya.
Unfortunately for them, they weren't arrested by the evil Israelis, so nobody gives a fuck about them now 🤷

[Knightly @Ifeanyi_Online]

@HamasAtrocities Nobody has heard Meloni 's voice neither that of half the EU bureaucrats. Hypocrites and wimps.

[Tabitha Stevens8 @TabithaStevens8]

@HamasAtrocities Those 🤡🤡 are still there?

Nothing short of ending the Islamic Republic regime would be a meaningful legacy lfor President Trump. Obama also got a nuclear deal — a worthless piece of paper in the end — without firing a single missile.

NBC says the quiet part out loud

LA won’t have results tonight because tonz of mail-in ballots will be arriving over the next few days which will help the Democrats

This is how they cheat

[Randy Fine @VoteRandyFine]

Never in my lifetime did I think a Jew, @SenSchumer, would stand up and justify electing someone with a Nazi tattoo on their chest.

Democrats are so desperate for power that they’ll embrace evil to win.

People willing to embrace evil to gain power should never, ever have access to it.
