IRAN WAR UPDATE & WHY OIL PRICES KEEP DROPPING.
The Iran Regime shoots down one U.S. helicopter (kills no one), then gets obliterated by Trump in "proportionate response."
Meanwhile, the price of oil dropping, now $89 per barrel as I post this.
The U.S. has reportedly destroyed an IRGC command center, and has likely killed much of its leadership.
The U.S. has hit hundreds of military targets. Trump says: "We hit them hard yesterday. We're going to hit them hard again today."
Trump says Iran is just taking too long on negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Trump says about 70 commercial ships have been passing through the Strait every night.
And there's nothing the Regime can do about it. The ships just turn off their transponders so can't be tracked. The U.S. has knocked out all of Iran's radar. So Iran is blind.
The Strait is open for everyone except Iran.
U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND says about 1,000 commercial vessels have passed through the Strait.
Media not telling you any of this.
The Regime says the Strait is closed. But the Strait is only closed for Iran.
The Iran Regime has been shown to be an inept toothless tiger.
President Trump says he wants Iran to sign a deal that ensures Iran can never acquire a nuclear weapon, keeps the Strait open with no tolls, and ends its funding of terrorist proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc.)
But Trump doesn't really care if he gets a deal or not. Either way, the Regime is cooked.
If the Regime signs Trump's deal, this is suicide for the Regime.
Imagine U.S. officials and military personal in Iran removing the Uranium. Footage of this would be the ultimate humiliation for the Regime -- especially in the Arab World.
Plus, Iran would be surrendering to the Great Satan. Iran would be the laughingstock of the region.
And unlike Obama's deal, Trump's deal would be verifiable and have all kinds of enforcement mechanisms.
So Iran can't agree to Trump's terms. Trump, of course, knows this.
But Trump needs to at least look like he wants a deal -- for PR reasons. He has to be able to say: "Look, we gave them every possible chance to sign our deal."
Meanwhile, business goes on per usual. Commercial traffic will continue to increase in the Strait, as it becomes clear there isn't anything the IRGC can do about it. And the price of oil will continue to crash.
Trump's blockade on Iran using the Strait continues to cost Iran $500 MILLION per day. The entire budge of Iran's government is just $56 BILLION.
The Regime can no longer pay its soldiers or security police. Iran's soldiers and police are quitting in droves.
We have been seeing pro-freedom protests rising up in cities across Iran, as it becomes clear to the people the Regime can't do anything and is in a state of collapse.
The Regime keeps saying it won't negotiate until the U.S. unfreezes the $24 BILLION in Iranian assets that we have frozen.
But U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says this money will be used to compensate the 10 Arab countries Iran has attacked.
The damage Iran has done to airports, power grids, buildings, and infrastructure, as well as casualties inflicted by Iran in the region, will be billed to Iran's account.
President Trump has also pointed out that it's quite cheap for the U.S. Navy to keep patrolling the Strait of Hormuz, escorting ships in and out.
Our Navy has to be somewhere. Might as well be there, conducting occasional target practice on whatever is left of Iran's Regime -- more "proportionate military responses" if the Regime does anything we don't like.
No one fears the IRGC anymore.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Arab World has joined with the United States and Israel in an alliance against the Iran Regime, which is now completely isolated.
Even Syria, which is now led by a former al-Qaeda leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is now allied with the United States and Israel.
That's pretty amazing. Thanks to President Trump, the rest of the Arab world is now allied with Israel.
Who would have thought that possible?
Reports are that Israel has many special operators on the ground inside Iran. We should allow Israel to do whatever it wants to do to the Iran Regime. We should not hold back Israel in the slightest.
We should also continue arming the Kurds and pro-freedom groups inside Iran. I assume we are doing exactly this.
When Epic Fury started, the prediction was that oil would rise above $200 per barrel.
This has not happened. Oil is around $89 a barrel and will continue to drop.
The reason we have not seen anything close to $200 a barrel is the United States has ramped up its oil production.
Thanks to President Trump, the United States is a net oil and energy exporter.
With Trump's arrest of Venezuela's Communist dictator Nicolas Maduro, the United States also now has an oil production partnership with the new government of Venezuela, which as the world's largest oil reserves.
Oil production by Venezuela will only continue to increase.
Trump has also chased China out of Panama. China is no longer running the Panama Canal. We are.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait are increasing their pipeline capacity to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, further rendering Iran irrelevant.
Trump is now the world's oil baron.
He controls the oil coming out of the Strait of Hormuz. He now controls Venezuela's oil production and the oil flowing through the Panama Canal.
And the U.S. is the world's biggest oil producer -- bigger than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.
So Trump now controls 40% of the world's oil supply, at least.
This means he has China (and pretty much everyone) by the balls.
Only about 20% of Iran's people are practicing Muslims. 85% of Iran's people absolutely despise the regime.
The odd theocratic ideology that has been imposed on the Iranian people for 47 years is an alien force, out of sync with Iran's 61% Persian population.
We can just continue to watch the Iran Regime implode financially under the economic pressure imposed pressure.
There's no need for a deal. Trump doesn't even want a deal. His public calls for Iran to sign his deal is just for show.
Trump is also something of a sadist.
Reports are that the IRGC leadership has been calling Trump personally begging for a deal. But Trump just keeps telling them "Nope," it's not good enough for him.
Remember, this is the same Regime that tried to assassinate Trump at least twice that we know about. And just a few weeks ago, this Regime tried to assassinate Trump's daughter Ivanka.
Obviously, Trump cannot allow this Regime to survive.
He also enjoys torturing the Regime.
At some point (probably sooner rather than later), the IRGC leadership and Mullahs will receive the Gaddafi treatment.
There was a man at the next table in uniform, and the waitress would not let him pay.
I watched it happen. He reached for the small folder with the bill. She placed her hand flat upon it, gently, the way one stills a sword that should not be drawn.
"Not today," she said. "Somebody already got it. They asked me to tell you โ thank you for your service."
He looked around the room. He did not know who. That was the point.
I set down my fork. I needed a moment to understand what I had seen.
In my homeland, a man who guards the realm is fed by the realm, openly, with ceremony, his name spoken at the gate. Here, a stranger pays for his meal and then hides, so that no debt may be felt. They guard the man even from the weight of being thanked.
"Thank you for your service."
I said it under my breath, testing the shape of it. Four words. A whole code folded inside four words.
(I confess my eyes stung. I blamed the pepper. There was no pepper.)
So I called the waitress over. "The firefighters," I said. "When they come. Their bill. Bring it to me." She blinked. "Sir, that could be a lot of people." "Then bring it to me," I said, "many times."
She laughed, but she wrote it down.
A man in a soft helmet at the counter โ off duty, a firefighter, I learned โ raised his coffee at me from across the room. He did not know the rite I had just sworn. He only saw a foreigner in old armor, smiling too hard.
"You good, man?" he asked.
I was not "good." I was overflowing. But the word for that is not a word they use at lunch, so I said, "I am good," and held the cup up too high, like a banner.
Here, the people who run toward fire are repaid by people who refuse to take the credit. The whole nation passes one quiet gift hand to hand, and no one signs it.
I am keeping a folder now. For the bills. So tell me where to send the thanks โ I have a great deal of it, and I have only just begun.
"๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธICE & FBI Rescue 85 Victims From Trafficking Hell โ 33 Arrested, Secret Prison Found"
In the dead of night, a massive tactical raid in El Paso and Laredo dismantled a chilling, industrial-scale human trafficking and narcotics pipeline. Federal investigators uncovered more than just a smuggling network; they exposed a "shadow logistics empire" built with the direct, high-level collusion of trusted government officials. Using secret subterranean facilities and fake non-profits, the Sinaloa cartel turned a critical stretch of the U.S. border into a managed, protected corridor for billions in illicit cargo. What was once thought to be a failure of border detection was, in reality, a deliberate act of treason. Read the full investigation here.
They shaved my head too.๐
Karmelo Anthony got 35 years for murder. He'll possibly be out in 15 or less.
I got 140 years for calling the police on the gangbangers who just shot through my brand new car and my daughter's bedroom.
When the police got there, I showed them the damage to the car, the house, and pointed out the guys who literally just did it. They lived on the same street and were standing outside drinking and smoking weed like they always did. The officer didn't seem to care at all. His only concern was my own pistol that I had holstered for my family's protection. For some reason he placed me in handcuffs. As I was sitting there trying to figure out what was going on, all of my neighbors and friends came out to testify on my behalf. He gave me an aggravated assault charge against every single one of them including our friend Rachel's new baby she was holding in her arms while she talked with the officer. This is how the officer explained it to me...
" Aggravated Assault because I had a weapon in a public place during an altercation... If this were a walmart, he would have charged me with everybody in the walmart parking lot."
First of all, there was no altercation/assualt. I never went outside until the police got there. Second, I never left my house/driveway. Third, none of the people I supposedly assaulted were present at the time of the altercation that never happened.
โ๏ธ The real kicker is this is all happening to me right after i've given my life to Christ. None of it made any sense, like how could this possibly be happening? Looking back it's clear, the devil tried to take my life.๐
Unfortunately, because these are such serious charges, I had to sit in jail for 6 months while God fought the battle. But God is good amen! He who is in us is greater than he who's in the world!
The 31 year old woke marxist DA (Devil's Assistant), in good health, dropped dead of a heart attack. The new DA was a Christian woman who trained under my Christian JAG attorney. I finally got a court date and ended up with probation. The judge actually thought the case was missing paperwork because it was so ridiculous.
That 6 months proved to be invaluable to me. I had all the time in the world to study God's word. I had to have read the Bible 4 or 5 times during those 6 months. I would read till I fell asleep, wake up and start reading again. I was even given the nickname "preach" and started a little Bible study group right in the middle of the dragon's layer. Every evening, all of us believers would pray in a circle, and God made sure our dorm was the most peaceful dorm that jail had ever seen.
I came out of that jail a new man, trained to rely on the Holy Spirit and God's word in the face of the toughest challenges. I saw the power of God at work inside and outside the jail. Jesus pulled me out of the grip of satan and shut the mouths of the lions in the dungeon. My God what an awesome God!
I even came out with a 15k sack of coin because God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (My retirement kept adding up with nowhere to go๐).
There is so much more to this story, It's still being written. What a journey it has been. I press on toward the goal to win the prize of Godโs heavenly calling in Christ Jesus (Phi 3:14).
This is exactly why I support ICE.
A nation without secure borders cannot protect its citizens, uphold the rule of law, or preserve its sovereignty. Respect for legal immigration starts with enforcing immigration laws.
๐บ๐ธ Strong borders. Safe communities. Rule of law.
๐จ BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a ๐ to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. ๐ค One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.
Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us.
It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously.
The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it.
If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.
THE ENEMY WITHIN: Exposing the Treason of John Thune (THREAD ๐งต)
John Thune is not a leader; he is an obstacle.
To dismantle the establishment, you must first identify its most useful assets. Senator John Thune is not a conservative warrior; he is the ultimate institutional shock absorber. In the Machiavellian framework, the most dangerous threat to a sovereign people is not the enemy who attacks from the front, but the courtier who smiles, wears your colors, and quietly unlocks the gates from within. Thune embodies this political betrayal. He is the quintessential Republican In Name Only (RINO)โa corporate appeaser perfectly engineered to absorb conservative outrage, dilute it into meaningless committee hearings, and ensure the globalist machinery operates without interruption. He offers the illusion of opposition while rubber-stamping the very policies destroying the American working class...
@GuntherEagleman@hines_dian72415 John Thune committed ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE SMURFING ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฐ through WINRED (GOP version of ACTBLUE)
DON'T YOU THINK HE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TOO?????
SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE UNTIL HE IS SO ASHAMED THAT HE STEPS DOWN
It wasnโt.
With rare exception, colonies were unprofitable, meaning more was spent building infrastructure like roads, railways, buildings, etc. than was exported.
And look at places like Singapore and Hong Kong. Both were colonies for a long time and yet they are extremely prosperous.
The older I get, the more I think Thomas Sowell was warning us about problems that many people simply didnโt want to see.
His ability to spot the long-term consequences of bad ideas is remarkable.
Thatโs why his words continue to resonate with so many people.
@elonmusk My favorite quote from Thomas Sowell
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
