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.

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

Trump rushed into this confrontation aggressively without calculating the real cost. Now he’s rushing to get out of it without understanding the cost of backing down.

He’s making the same mistake twice:

first underestimating the enemy, and now underestimating how much credibility America is losing by appearing weak and desperate.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

"Proportionate" response is Jimmy Carter language.  The Iranian regime will never give up its nukes, no matter what they say or sign.  We must be honest with ourselves.  Time will prove me right, and others who understand this.  It's now or likely never.

If we cannot remove the uranium, then seriously consider contaminating the sites so no one can go anywhere near them for 100 years or more.  Remember the 1966 Palomares accident (you can look it up).

Any further delays in taking out this regime, and that includes arming the people, will result in both unforeseeable and predictable consequences that will be severe and constant for us, our allies, and the West generally.  If not immediate then over time.  No amount of negative PR campaigns against Israel or Netanyahu, who best understand the nature of things in that region, will change that.  No amount of lobbying by Arab states and Turkey, who have their own interests and priorities (sound familiar) that may not and, in some cases, clearly do not align with ours, should sidetrack us.  

Yes, we may lose the midterm elections, for a host of reasons that have not changed even before the war with Iran.  It would be disastrous in many ways, given the radicalism of the Democrat Party and its intent to destroy our constitution, border, and economic system.  But if we are perceived as losing this war, or as failing to finish the job, or declare victory without victory, it will be used against us.  Victory just happens to also be good politics.  The longer it takes, the more difficult it becomes.

Iranian leaders are escalating, not Israel — and with four waves of Iranian missiles fired at Israel today, the IDF must hit back hard. The U.S. should retaliate against Iran, as well. President Trump, it’s time to #FinishTheJob.

Seize the Uranium, Change the Course of History

We started this campaign together with the Americans. We must finish it together.
Airstrikes hit the sites but Iran still possesses roughly 440 kg of 60% enriched uranium, enough for multiple nuclear bombs. This material is stored in heavy steel cylinders deep underground, especially in the Isfahan facility.

Extracting it would be an extremely dangerous operation. Israeli special forces would need to insert deep into Iran, breach fortified tunnels, secure the site under fire, safely handle radioactive cylinders, and successfully extract the material, all while facing Iranian retaliation.

We know the risks and logistical nightmare involved and Israel is prepared to lead it. Our soldiers have the experience from Gaza and Lebanon and we’re willing to take the risk.
But we need sustained American air cover and real-time intelligence support to succeed.

The window is closing fast. Iran’s brutal summer is just weeks away. Once the extreme heat hits, such a ground operation becomes nearly impossible.

President Trump cannot make a deal that leaves this uranium in Iranian hands. He cannot hope that Iran will simply hand it over. He made promises to his voters, to Israel, and to our Arab allies. He must fulfill them.

Walking away with a weak deal would be catastrophic. The entire region and the world will pay a heavy price for generations.

We went in as partners. We must come out as partners with the uranium in our hands, not theirs.

@realDonaldTrump — let’s finish the job together.

[General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn]

Dear Mr. @realDonaldTrump

The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end. Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal.

How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on this Memorial Day weekend). Yes, we are all sick of it.

And yes, the people of Iran must step up, but we need to signal to them, we will not concede their freedoms to the insane regime in Teheran. They deserve better. If we don’t, we will cause an entire population to be enslaved. For this, we have to smartly use our Middle East partners to support them along with our covert and clandestine operators. Trust me, if you support, this is very doable.

Anyway, I’m watching everything (like most of the world is) and admittedly I do not have all the information. But if we pay tribute to the regime to the tune of $25B, I’m concerned they’ll use it for nefarious purposes down the road.

No nukes in Iran may be a noble idea (an end goal for your administration) but the regime has blatantly lied to our faces before, why do you now believe they will tell you the truth?

Give it some thought. Get some out of the box solutions, and rethink your position. The art of the deal tells you to do that from time to time.

Now may be that time.

Thank you to all the voters who turned out to vote against this egregious power grab. The race was much closer than the left expected because Virginians know a 10-1 map is not Virginia. I urge the Virginia Supreme Court to rule against this unconstitutional process that will disenfranchise millions of Virginians.

This would have helped Virginia tremendously.

🚨 SCOTT JENNINGS JUST DROPPED TRUTH NUKES:

"Virginia had literally had the FAIREST maps in the nation. They had a 6-5 map."

"In terms of proportional representation, they had the fairest map in the nation."

"Now they will have the LEAST fair maps in the nation. And I'm not surprised that the YES vote won. They had all the money and all the lies!"

"Sometimes in politics, when you've got those two things, you can put something over the line, even something as egregious as this."

"This whole thing has driven Spanberger's approval ratings down into the toilet. She lied to the people of Virginia. They had to write a ballot question that was a joke. They drew maps that were a joke."

"Now you're going to have huge chunks of rural Virginia represented by five or six Democrats who all live in northern Virginia within about 15 miles of each other. It's a complete joke. Everybody knows it."

"And there's a reason that all these national Democrats and all their money came into Virginia, because they don't really care about the people of Virginia."

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

This is insane…

The Virginia redistricting amendment on the ballot today is framed as a vote to "restore fairness in the upcoming elections."

In reality, it turns a state that Kamala barely won by 5 pts from 6D-5R to 10D-1R.

What will the Artemis-2 astronauts do during the entire 10-day mission?

Day by day overview:

Day 1. Launch.
Launch on the SLS rocket, stage separation, orbital insertion. Maneuvers around the spent stage, initial system checks, change from spacesuits to everyday clothing.

Day 2. Beginning the journey to the Moon:
Simulator exercises, then the main maneuver—translunar injection (TLI), which places Orion on a trajectory to fly around the Moon and return to Earth.

Day 3. Preparation
Rehearsals for lunar observations in zero gravity, corrective maneuver, emergency procedures training (e.g., CPR).

Day 4. Course correction
Second minor maneuver, communication with Mission Control, media sessions, photography of Earth and the Moon at the midpoint.

Day 5. Lunar Entry
For the first time since 1972, humans will be in cislunar space. Spacesuit tests: rapid pressurization, life support systems checks. Another course correction.

Day 6. Lunar Flyby
The main day: The Orion spacecraft will fly at an altitude of 6,400–9,650 km above the lunar surface.

This distance is approximately 15–24 times greater than the orbital altitude of the ISS. Plus, the Moon itself is smaller. Visually, the Moon will look like a basketball at arm's length to the astronauts. There will be only three hours for observations during closest approach. The astronauts will take photographs and record geological data. Depending on the launch time, the Artemis 2 crew could break the record for the longest distance from Earth.

Day 7. Lunar Exit
Data transfer to scientists, psychological and physical debriefings. Symbolic call with the ISS crew. First maneuver of the return trajectory.

Day 8. Demonstrations
Radiation protection training (using water and thermal protection as barriers). Testing the Orion attitude control systems in various modes.

Day 9. Preparing for reentry
The last full day of the flight. Technological demonstrations, course corrections, fitting of compression suits to help the body adapt to weightlessness.

Day 10. Return
Final maneuver, atmospheric reentry, during which the temperature will reach 1650°C. Parachute deployment, splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off San Francisco. Crew pickup by US Navy ships.

This is an absolute scandal.

Serbian football team Crvena Zvezda has been fined €95,500 after fans choreographed a motif of Jesus Christ!

UEFA fined them for "displaying a message not fit for a sporting event and bringing the reputation of football and UEFA itself into disrepute".

The image was a traditional Orthodox tifo of Jesus Christ or Saint Simeone the Myrrh-flowing, while the text underneath read:

“May our faith lead you to victory".

UEFA has stopped games for Ramadan and openly promoted BLM and LGBT campaigns during tournaments.

But Christianity is ‘inappropriate’?!
What an utter disgrace.
