I don’t think you’ll like doing away with some of the other things that have only existed for 0.1% of human history.

Think about this: The Iranian regime, absolutely desperate for cash, should be on its very best behavior — even temporarily — to unlock that $ and keep it flowing. But they are pathologically incapable of even pretending. And they’re hoping (?) POTUS is so obsessed with a “peace” “deal” that he’ll let them get away with it.

Also, explain how a regime that has been playing games with Hezbollah and refusing (twice!) to fulfill literally the only concession they’ve agreed to so far (opening the Strait of Hormuz) will ever truly dismantle its nuclear program under some “agreement.” They are incapable of honor or improvement. They’re advertising it. Again.

Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion

And if Thiessen is right and the C-in-C wrong, well that's on the C-in-C.

Respectfully, everything the Vice President has said is what the President has said and believes. If you disagree with the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, that’s on you.

Before the King James Bible, there was a translation that changed everything.

Printed in exile.

Smuggled into England.

Hated by kings.

Loved by reformers.

This is the story of the Geneva Bible.

If the goal of this MOU was to salvage Republican chances in the midterms, did they also factor in Republican anger at capitulation? Because my feed is filled with furious and disgusted right-of-center people.

[Aimen Dean @AimenDean]

What I find truly astonishing is that Hezbollah has American blood on its hands on a scale ISIS never came close to matching. The Beirut embassy bombing. The Marine barracks bombing. Khobar Towers. The hostage-taking campaign. The training and arming of Iraqi militias that killed American troops. Decades of terrorist attacks stretching from Latin America to Africa and beyond.

This is an organization designated as terrorist by dozens of countries and linked to the deaths of hundreds of Americans.

Yet somehow, in 2026, we’ve reached the point where Hezbollah is effectively being treated as a protected legitimate entity under the most strategically absurd MOU imaginable. An attack on Hezbollah is now framed as an attack on Iran, thus incurring the wrath of the Trump administration. Think about that for a second!

How does a U.S. president end up granting political legitimacy and strategic cover to a group responsible for killing so many American servicemen and civilians?

The message sent to every terrorist organization on earth could not be clearer: kill enough people, survive long enough, and eventually you’ll get a seat at the table and a security guarantee.

We used to say terrorism doesn’t pay.

Apparently, it pays very well🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al.

Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

Here's the amazing thing about written agreements: they are comprised of words we can all read and then form opinions about! It's really neat! So release the MOU text. Now. Don't keep it secret and then complain that people aren't trusting your version of events.

[Ulrich Speck @ulrichspeck]

The key strategic fact of our times:

With Russia, China, and Iran, there can be no "win-win solutions ", i.e., permanent agreements that allow both sides to live in peace and prosperity.
