Trump dropped an absolute bombshell yesterday. The media focused on him saying "I love the inflation." But did you hear the Venezuela raid-sized news he announced AFTER THAT?
The U.S. military has been secretly taking millions of barrels of oil OUT of the Strait of Hormuz in a massive operation. Not even Iran knew this. Everyone thought the tankers were just sitting there. THEY WEREN'T. That's why oil prices didn't reach deadly levels. That's why gas prices are dropping.
This is one of the most impressive military operations I’ve ever heard about. So why announce it to the world now? Why not let it keep going in secret? Here's my guess: It was a massive poker move against Iran, showing them that they have NO LEVERAGE, it let China know that America still controls the seas, and it let the American people know that Trump has a plan and it's WORKING.
That sure sounds like America First to me.
@reruther@liz_churchill10 They certainly like to incite OTHERS to violence, don't they? It's a form of bullying, and they depend on the other side to keep turning the other cheek. Unfortunately, until it starts happening back- they are going to continue. They've proven it time after time.
🚨JAVIER MILEI DROPPED ONE OF THE GREATEST LINES EVER
"The Left can't applaud me, because their hands are in other people's pockets"
BRILLIANT 🤣👏
AFUERA ‼️
@renabaddie_ If I enter a room with 50 people, the a killer enters and kills 30- there are still 52 people in the room. Just 20 of them are dead.
(50 people + me + the killer= 52.
@tricky_rikke@StateDept You are obviously a selective reader. Pay closer attention. Read a few more of his posts. And btw, there is nothing wrong with respecting our friends and allies in the celebration of their faith. Find something else to grouse about.
@grey4626 Reminds me of the Kennedy Clan re: RFK Jr. Clearly their mama's raised them wrong. You may not agree with family, but you don't bash them in public- save that crap for Thanksgiving get togethers and say it to their face-if you dare!
The MAGA movement isn’t “far-right” in the way it’s constantly framed.
From the outside looking in, it actually looks like a reaction, not a radical shift.
For decades, the average American was already living with diversity - different races, cultures, beliefs. That wasn’t the issue. People generally coexisted without needing to agree on everything.
What changed wasn’t the people.
What changed was the direction of the Democratic Party.
Policies and messaging started moving further left, away from what many would consider everyday common-sense concerns:
- Border control and immigration enforcement
- Election integrity and voter ID
- Cultural issues being pushed into schools and workplaces
- Redefining long-standing social norms without broad consensus
The issue for many Americans wasn’t tolerance - it was being told what they must accept, support, or affirm.
That’s a very different line.
When politics shifts from “live and let live” to mandated ideology, you create pushback.
That pushback is what Donald Trump tapped into.
MAGA didn’t rise out of nowhere. It gained traction because it spoke to people who felt like:
- Their concerns were being dismissed
- Their values were being labeled as extreme
- Their voice was no longer represented
Call it populism, call it nationalism - but at its core, MAGA resonated because it positioned itself as a return to stability, not a leap into extremism.
Whether you agree with it or not, dismissing millions of people as “far-right” doesn’t address why the movement exists.
It just proves the point they’re making.
@haveAcIue@RealJamesWoods@ChatByCC That number has dropped only because many mental institutions were closed. Now they just give them a prescription and let them roam the streets- where no one makes sure they actually take their medication!
