HOLY CRAP ๐จ: CNNโs Jake Tapper after speaking with President Trump on the phone: โโRight now, we want everyone [in Iran] staying inside. Itโs not safe out there.โ And then the president said, itโs about to get even less safe. He said, โWe haven't even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon.โโ
Wowโฆ!
NEW - The US is reportedly considering renewed strikes against Iran on Monday, as the new moon could provide "favorable conditions" for military operations.

JUST IN: ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท President Trump says he may have to destroy Iran soon.
"I would rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but maybe I'll have to. You'll know soon enough."
๐บ๐ธ Something is happening at the White House.
Several vehicles were filmed arriving at the West Wing about an hour ago, including one reportedly carrying General Dan Caine, America's top military officer.
Trump is weighing another major attack on Iran, while Qatar is pushing a possible nuclear deal and Israel is dealing with political turmoil of its own.
Caine has already been involved in high-level discussions about military options against Tehran.
Whether tonight's visit is connected to Iran remains unconfirmed.

๐จ๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Unreal scenes in Tehran as a Trump lookalike is reportedly hanged in a staged execution
47 years ago today, Iranian revolutionaries stormed the US Embassy and held 52 Americans for 444 days, and this year the regime added an election celebration.
The actor had been locked in a mock jail cell above Tajrish Square before he was reportedly strung up tonight, while across town at Enqelab Square, crowds burned a poster of Trump, Vance, Witkoff and Netanyahu to cheer the GOPโs midterm losses.
Seems like the regime is celebrating the midterm results more than Americans ๐

You need to embed this clip into your brain.
โYou must settle these things in your mindโ
God has not spared us, Trump was his judgement, and all these things will come to pass.
๐จ๐บ๐ธ Donald Trump Jr. just reposted JD Vance's reflections on last night's brutal GOP defeat:
"Every word of this is ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ"
From Vance's tweet:
"The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night."
At this point, if you think anything else, I can't help you!

๐จ JUST NOW โ JD VANCE reacts to historic losses for Republicans last night, blaming it SQUARELY on the Iran war
โThe reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost.โ
My wife and I had a son 5 months ago.
We were both uncertain if we wanted him.
Why? We really enjoyed our life and the fear of a new variable disrupting that was very scary.
And the first 2 months into it, we were still uncertain. It felt more like a nuisance than a benefit.
We also lived a life of extremes. Each with 120+ nights per year in a hotel, hiking every weekend, racing cars and a ton of solo time. The relative change was real.
There's a mourning of your old life.
But then the postpartum hormonal extravaganza ends, you settle into the change and adapt to the new.
You realize how incredibly special a child is.
It's difficult to explain until you have one, but I liken it to the gut punch feeling and chemistry you experience with a first love. There's a draw to that person that is more important to you than anything else. And the weirdest part is no one else feels this same yearning.
If you don't have a kid, this might also help you understand how looking at your kid is way different than looking at someone else's... because I really don't care for anyone else's.
But mine? When I'm away for more than 4 hours I catch myself smiling at a photo of him and anxiously anticipating when I get to see him again
You solidify the family unit. And imagine a future together that's much greater than "happy".
Then there's a wonderful realization you can still thread in the parts of your old life that mattered.
Prioritization becomes clear.
My wife and I learned how to work even better together for each other, ourselves and the family.
Could we have been fine without kids? Probably. We're pretty adaptable as humans.
But does the good outweigh the bad and is that worth taking a chance on the regret index? Absolutely. 100x.
It's difficult to explain, but I suppose anything encoded into us over millions of years is.

Typically, when governments across the world tell folks to start stocking up, Iโm inclined to agree!
