If it is perceived in the region that a deal with Iran allows the regime to survive and become more powerful over time, we will have poured gasoline on the conflicts in Lebanon and Iraq.

A deal that is perceived to allow Iran to survive and possess the ability to control the Strait in the future will put Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Shia militias in Iraq on steroids.

This guy sucks too.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

History teaches us that peace deals are best made after the enemy is defeated or surrendered.

This guy sucks.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

Hush, child. The adults are talking. I’m not your “bro.”

And young political grifters pushing Iran appeasement are not remotely helping the President.

This guy sucks.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.

President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.

If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.

The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.

President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.

@Ostrakon451 I hear this for sure. When I was a kid. I had a history teacher, Coloner In the army. Ran detention, didn't take shit. Changed my trajectory.

[Tony Pease @apease]

I think about this a lot. Teaching should be a retirement job. We need people with less economic pressure who have knowledge and experience in a field of study. It was never really designed to be a job that was lucrative and it would be impossible to change the government point of view in funding.

[Robert Pondiscio @rpondiscio]

I’m in favor of raising teacher pay. But I’m unclear how this will “fix” education: is it that teachers are not working hard but will for a raise? Or that higher salaries will lure capable people from law, medicine, tech, etc.?

@TheCinesthetic Marty Supreme that movie was the worst.

@RaminNasibov The wire.

I laughed at #2.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

If you want to "raise a D1 athlete" here's what works:

1. Stop trying to raise a D1 athlete

Support your kid. Let them play whatever they want to play. Drive them to practice

But it's got to come from them. They've got to want it. You can't force it.

2. Have great genetics

[Tony Pease @apease]

These guys are the worst.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Mike Johnson says Congress can't survive on $174k because of inflation, and uses that to justify letting members trade stocks.

Incredible take from the guy who decided his only job was taking orders from the President.

[Tony Pease @apease]

@DrDigiPol Let's also not forget about the pension. Life time retirement after 5 years of "service"

[Tony Pease @apease]

@matthewstoller This is definitely not correct but I do wish @PalmerLuckey would focus the work on Star Trek type stuff. We have to much money and minds in war not enough preventing it.

[Tony Pease @apease]

That's just taxes. Social security has a fixed maximum benefit. If you charged someone more, it s would cover the costs of others but they wouldn't see a benefit.

[daz @MetamateDaz]

Most people don't realize but Americans only pay Social Security taxes on income under $184,500. What that means is anyone that makes over that stops paying Social Security at $184,501.

If the Social Security earnings cap were removed they would have enough money for universal health care.

[Tony Pease @apease]

This guy is the worst.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

Communist China’s flagrant disregard of American sanctions against Iran’s oil and gas products needs to be challenged.

China is the largest purchaser of Russia’s oil and gas. China also openly flouts sanctions by buying Iranian oil, propping up the terrorist regime. While we all hope for a better relationship with China, this abuse by China needs to be addressed.

I would urge @POTUS and his team to put China on notice that their behavior regarding Russia and Iran is unacceptable.

@Nithya_Shrii @BenjaminPDixon Maybe start with prisons.

@omgsidewalks Exercise everyday even if it's stretching. Never stay out past 12. Go to church. Call your parents / grandparents every week.

[Tony Pease @apease]

This is art.

[Tony Pease @apease]

@brianonorio I'm confident they would find a way. Grifters gonna grift.

[Tony Pease @apease]

If love to see a graduated flat tax. No income tax below a certain number then some prorated tax to another number the 24% no deductions and states are capped at 7% no property tax and sales tax is state by state.

This would then set the budget. Last year's tax receipt is the budget for next year.

[Tony Pease @apease]

For $800m you could make about 25k homes energy neutral by subsidizing solar and power. Let's do that instead

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

On top of a proposed 15% rate hike, Duke Energy is now asking North Carolinians to foot the bill for an additional $800 million in increased fuel costs. I vetoed Senate Bill 266 for exactly this reason: because it would further expose North Carolina ratepayers to volatile fuel markets and shift the cost of electricity from large industrial users onto the backs of regular people, making your utility bills more expensive. Republican legislators knew this too – but still left North Carolinians holding the bag. The Utilities Commission should step in to secure an affordable energy future for North Carolinians. We must do everything we can to make life more affordable for families, not more expensive.
