Now that both teams are eliminated from the World Cup…

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

I’m not exactly sure how this happened, but it seems that, because of the MOU, the Islamic regime believed it had complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the U.S. was escorting commercial ships through the Strait via the Omani route. Iran appears to have felt the U.S. was playing them by “giving them control” while continuing to move ships without their approval. They got angry.

Then came Khamenei’s funeral, where the regime once again reminded everyone that the U.S. had just eliminated their “holy” leader. Not long after, they started firing at commercial ships.

It didn’t seem to matter whose ship it was. Saudi, UAE, Qatari. Even if it had been Pakistani, I think they would have fired. They hit at least 3 ships, high chances that number is higher, but the more interesting question is, how many did they miss? How many drones were intercepted?

The U.S. in now furious that Iran fired on commercial shipping. It revoked the sanctions waivers, and I honestly don’t believe this is over. There is a serious dilemma unfolding, and the U.S. is starting to realize that Iran may not be the “new rational regime” it hoped it would be.

UNBELIEVABLE

TRUMP: "For me, the memorandum of understanding is over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. And if they get a nuclear weapon.. They're liars.. In my eyes, it's a waste of time to continue talking to them. They're crazy, for me it's over."

This is actually very important that progressives are abandoning the “defund the police” agenda. Seems progressives can make progress on a talking point when flat out wrong.

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

NEW: Abdul El-Sayed has insisted he “never, never called for defunding” police and said deleted tweets were taken out of context. But new audio hows that in 2020 he defended the idea in interviews saying, “I believe that we do need to defund the police.”

Catching up this morning on the US footie match. Just too many consequential mistakes from the Americans.

Can’t defend in the box, keeper makes a howler to gift Belgium a goal and likely too much wasted mental energy around Balogun red card u-turn.

Belgium clearly a tier above.

[Matthew Callahan @mtccap]

Looking good Rog. Different look not being behind the 🥁.

Gutted to have missed the show for Wimbledon 🎾.

This should help Trump win the Presidential election in November. Curious how many votes he will gain.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Ted Cruz: "On behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card."

Trump: "That was interesting."

Cruz: “There’s a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did.”

Truly feel for my Mexican friends. Loved hearing the “Si Se Puede” chants. Felt like I was back in Monterrey supporting the Tigres 👏

Harry and Jude show rolls on for England. 3 goals. Huge performances at altitude in Mexico City.

Next up Norway in Miami? All about the recovery now. Keep em away from South Beach.

One of the worst trades in NBA history took place under the cover of the World Cup. The Boston Celtics are on tilt.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

London is better when the football team wins. Appreciate Harry Kane for working his magic.

Hard to disagree with this viewpoint. The Dems are so lost.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

I think the democrats want the GOP to win the presidency in 2028. Wealth disparity in the past was never handled this way. There are way more clever and way more market based ways to handle it but handling it this way will force the electorate over to the opposing party.

This is brutal destruction in wealth and brand value. Nearly every single player on my kids basketball team wears Nike shoes. This isn't a flight from their core market problem.

So what is the problem or were investors just really dum?
