This is hugely... terrible. If this happens, the Iranian regime stays alive a lot longer.
The people behind the Guilfoyle ouster are behind this. They're also working behind the scenes to get the people who've been effective in carrying out POTUS' maritime agenda bounced.
Have been since Mike Waltz and Dan Caldwell were pushed out of the inner circle.
P.S. Noem’s firing had nothing to do with ICE.
The USCG leads U.S. maritime diplomacy in London. Days after Noem was axed, Trump’s man at the Coast Guard, @SeanPlankey, was also ousted.
What did Plankey have to do with ICE? Absolutely nothing. They nailed her to get to him.
I realize @kimguilfoyle rubs plenty of people on the right the wrong way. Her outfits, her ex-husband, her flamboyantly gay staff.
Personally, I think she’s the best ambassador we’ve had in years. But my opinion isn’t the point.
The BIG problem is what happens when an administration starts caving to mainstream media hit pieces.
Every scalp emboldens the press to hunt bigger game.
People dismissed my concerns when Dan Caldwell was pushed out of the Pentagon. Dan was a relatively minor figure. Most Americans had never heard of him.
But the media wanted his head, and they got it.
What happened next?
They went after a their #1 target: @michaelgwaltz, one of the smartest, most capable, and most consequential appointments Trump made.
And they got him, too.
You don’t have to like Kimberly Guilfoyle to understand the danger here.
The moment you start letting your globalist controlled media decide who serves in your administration, you’ve handed them a veto over your own personnel.
And losing Waltz wasn’t just a political setback. It was a genuine loss for the country.
Nobody really cared if Caldwell (since fully exonerated) stayed or went. Fine. But then Waltz was hit.
Nobody really cares that Guilfoyle got axed. Fine. But now they have their teeth in the Chief of Staff’s jugular.
How is this not obvious to everyone???
My team has the honor of helping the Haitian people restore security in their country. The gang leaders are now begging the Task Force we support to cease operations.
These gangs have murdered, raped, extorted, and mutilated tens of thousands of Haitians. They force children to commit atrocities and eat the hearts of humans in front of them. No words can capture the misery they’ve inflicted on the Haitian people.
On my latest trip to Port-au-Prince, I saw normal life coming back. Markets that were once shut down by gangs are now trading again. Police are on the streets. Kids are walking to school in uniform for the first time in years.
The latest UN report confirms that security forces backed by the PNH Task Force have halted the gangs’ advance in the capital and have made progress in pushing them back.
There is more to be done. We will continue to work through the Haitian government for the restoration of sovereignty and security to the Haitian people, and we will finish the job.
So to the gang leaders asking us to leave: choose life and surrender, otherwise expect consequences for your feral murderous behavior. The Task Force will continue helping the PNH reclaim territory, crush the forces of chaos , and end the reign of terror inflicted upon the vast majority of good, decent Haitians.
I'm wheezing. 😂
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, could do a smiling-faced, profanity-filled rant like Scott Adams.
My god, do I miss this man.

Off Leash update 14 October 2026
IRAN
•Two senior Iranian officials told Reuters the IRGC is stepping up its assault on Hormuz shipping traffic as part of a campaign to keep oil prices high ahead of U.S. midterm elections so American voters will punish the party of the president who started the war.
•The IRGC’s targeting abilities had been severely diminished by U.S. strikes on its radar and monitoring systems over the summer, but Tehran has since apparently developed some clever workarounds, like dispatching unarmed spotters in small boats to report potential targets and their positions.
•As a result, Iran’s attacks on commercial vessels have reached their highest level of the war, with eight strikes between Sunday and yesterday. Windward (a maritime tracking firm) counted 16 outbound vessels transiting the Strait in the same period (plus 4-6 dark transits), implying that Iran attacked around half the vessels that left the Persian Gulf. By comparison, Windward estimated that Iran hit only ~2% of transiting ships from July through September.
•As Pres. Trump has noted, some oil is still getting out of the Gulf, but that’s largely because of an unsustainable U.S. military operation to escort ships. It’s also extremely pricy oil, because risk has pushed maritime insurance premiums skywards.
SAUDI ARABIA
•After Saudi strikes targeted Houthi-run oil facilities in Yemen, the Houthis retaliated with strikes on the Kingdom’s largest company (by a factor of 16!), Aramco.
•A Houthi attack on Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran set a building ablaze, but the company said it was “a limited fire” and reported no injuries.
UKRAINE
•Ukraine’s state electricity company announced “new power cuts” resulting from Russian attacks on power plants this week.
•U.S. officials anonymously told the NYT that the energy ceasefire Pres. Trump announced on Sunday covers oil refineries but not power plants, which could then be included in a broader follow-on truce – assuming this one goes well.
•If true, Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian power plants technically don’t violate Trump’s energy ceasefire (which neither Russia nor Ukraine have confirmed they agreed to anyway). But it would make it a bad deal for Ukraine, which has no fully functional oil refineries (and only one that partly functions) but relies on its power plants to heat homes and run businesses.
•Pres. Zelensky said Ukraine received no warnings this week about incoming ballistic missiles from the Western intelligence partners who usually sound alarms in advance. Other Ukrainian officials later clarified that the lack of early warning wasn’t a case of neglectful allies but rather due to technical issues and / or Russia’s use of hard-to-spot missiles.
FALKLANDS
•British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband signed off on a big new oil drilling project near the Falkland Islands, fueling a long-simmering dispute with Argentina over the archipelago, which Argentina also claims (and calls the Malvinas).
•Argentina quickly asked an international maritime tribunal to intervene to “preserve Argentina’s rights.”
•That’s unlikely to stop the project from moving forward towards production in 2028: the tribunal’s rulings are legally binding, but it has no way to enforce them if a country declines to comply – as the UK surely will.
