Here’s what a deal negotiated from a position of strength looks like:

Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. lifts its naval blockade.

Iran dismantles its nuclear program.
The U.S. provides phased sanctions relief.

Iran stops funding and arming its proxy network.
The U.S. provides additional sanctions relief.

Iran abandons its long range missile program.
The U.S. provides additional sanctions relief.

Iran ends its systematic human rights abuses and opens the country to meaningful reform.
The U.S. and its allies support economic reconstruction and investment.

Hezbollah withdraws from southern Lebanon and disarms.
Israel fully withdraws from Lebanon.

Everything is based on performance.

No upfront rewards. Iran acts first. The benefits come after.

Yes, military flyovers look cool. But taxpayer-funded military hype for private sports events is still weird—and a little creepy.

THIS POST IS MISLEADING ON PURPOSE!
Central Oregon saw a real 19% drop in homelessness per the 2026 PIT count, statewide & especially Portland/Multnomah: numbers surged (61%+ increase in Tri-County 2025 count) one area saw successfully while another grew.
This is not sucessful

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

It’s bitches like this the reason why they only serve you two drink max in public spaces. You sat your grown ass up there and ordered 14 shots, then got mad when they gave them to you? 😒

Sec. Rubio: The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars and we have. But when we had a need, it didn’t get positive responses from NATO. A couple leaders said that Iran was not Europe’s war. Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone.

I saw this headline from @OPB: "With gas prices rising, Oregon drivers are paying some of the highest prices in the country."
...and thought "oh wow - they're going to explain why fuel is more expensive in Oregon and on the west coast..." NOPE - not one mention of the extra $.23/gallon Oregon is paying in a hidden gas tax through LCFS and other "clean fuels" schemes (also this is verified by Oregon DEQ). Really no explanation at all. Why even write the story... The closest they got was "environmental policies that deter increased gasoline production in the region." Ummm... kinda sorta? Here's some help.

You know one reason gun owners get upset at new gun laws? Because the ones that are common sense that we support universally don't get enforced.

He got off for THREE straw purchases with an APOLOGY LETTER. AN APOLOGY LETTER.

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

The man charged by DOJ for selling the gun used by the ODU terrorist was caught straw purchasing three guns in 2021 (all of which were later recovered at crime scenes, including a homicide) but the Biden DOJ declined to prosecute. He got a warning & signed an apology letter.

To get a gun permit in Honolulu, you have to apply in person at the police station and must bring (among other things) a valid photo ID and proof of citizenship. If approved, the permit is only valid for 26 days: https://t.co/8ojNN5dnMz

I am not a naval warfare expert.

However, the “experts” that are upset about the American sub sinking an Iranian naval combat ship, are absolute scum of the earth. Especially Americans or supposed allies.

This is warfare. Not a boxing match, football game, or some other sporting match.

It wasn’t “fair” for Iran to use IED’s. It wasn’t “fair” to use suicide bombers. Especially children.

You know what also wasn’t fair? It wasn’t “fair” for our supposed leadership to handicap our ground forces with patently stupid ROE’s.

When American lives are on the line I don’t want fair. I want overwhelming force and technological supremacy so that fanatics, fascists, dictators, communists, and anyone else who thinks to harm Americans instead has the images of us killing, destroying, and sinking our enemies burned into their brain.
