One last one just because I love celebrating America 🇺🇸 Goodnight my sweet friends. Hope your July 4th has been fantastic! I’ll see you in the morning for coffee 🇺🇸💋☕️
They will not show you this on the nightly news: President Trump riding the Freedom Train, a full cavalry escort on horseback alongside him, celebrating 250 years of American independence. Pure patriotism.
John Travolta practiced the "You Should Be Dancing" solo for 9 months.
He threatened to quit the movie if they used a stunt double. That’s pure "main character" energy.
Damn, we missed it live
because the criminal Mullahs
regime shut down the internet!
But huge respect to the
Iranian people knocking down
the statue of that disgusting
criminal Qasem Soleimani?
Absolutely beautiful
🚨 NOW: The area around ICE Newark is DEAD SILENT after NJSP FORCED rioters out of the area
Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars worth of supplies are just abandoned outside the facility.
It is genuinely mindblowing how much money is poured into riot supplies.
See for yourselves 👇🏻
@WhiteHouse@POTUS I’m praying for the people of Iran that so many promises were made to and now will suffer consequences under the same IRGC that has tortured and tormented them for decades 😢
A sad day for Germany 🇩🇪.
5.000 US 🇺🇸 troops will leave my country.
They defended us for 7 decades and they never misused their power (unlike the Soviets). They acted disciplined and friendly. They taught us a lot. The U.S. is like a big brother for Germany.
But the U.S. administration is right: Germany can stand on its own feed nowadays. The U.S. needs its resources to deter China 🇨🇳. And one day, when we Europeans are strong enough we will do so as well.
Thank you American soldiers for your service for liberty and peace in Europe.

JUST IN: Iran just pulled a thirty-year-old empty supertanker out of retirement and began towing it toward Kharg Island. She is moving so slowly that a voyage that should take a day and a half is taking four days.
Her name is NASHA. IMO 9079107. Built 1996. A two-million-barrel very large crude carrier that has been anchored empty off Kharg for years. TankerTrackers confirmed her reactivation yesterday. Gulf News, Iran International, and Fox News all picked it up within hours.
The reason she is moving at all is that Iran is running out of places to put the oil.
Kharg Island handles roughly ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports. Its onshore tanks had about thirteen million barrels of spare capacity when the US blockade began on April 13. Net inflow since has been running at one million to one point one million barrels per day because exports have collapsed to single digits of vessels while upstream production continues. The math is mechanical. Roughly twelve days of spare capacity. The calendar says that window closes this week.
NASHA is not a strategy. NASHA is what you do when you have run out of strategy.
A two-million-barrel floating storage vessel buys Iran approximately forty-eight hours of continued upstream production. After that, either the wells get shut in or the crude goes somewhere else. The parallel options being pursued, ship-to-ship transfers in the Riau Archipelago, AIS-dark transits, sanctioned VLCCs returning home through the blockade line, are not enough. Lloyd’s List Intelligence has tracked roughly twenty-six Iran-linked vessels evading since April 13. That cannot absorb a million barrels a day.
The wells will shut in. The question is which wells, for how long, and whether they come back.
The Asmari and Bangestan carbonate formations that sit under most of Iran’s giant southern fields are high-permeability, strong-water-drive systems. The Society of Petroleum Engineers literature on this specific reservoir class is unambiguous. Remove continuous pressure support for a prolonged shut-in and four damage mechanisms activate simultaneously: water coning upward through the fracture network, fines migration into pore throats, formation compaction under increased effective stress, and clay swelling under altered salinity and pH. The damage is not theoretical. It is documented. And it is measured in months to years of recoverable production capacity, not days.
Maleki and Gordon estimate three hundred to five hundred thousand barrels per day of permanent capacity loss if the current shut-in trajectory completes. That is a directional estimate, not a lab measurement, but the direction is not in dispute.
NASHA is the archaeological signature of the clock.
When a country with the world’s third-largest oil reserves reactivates a thirty-year-old retired tanker to float on top of its main export terminal and buy forty-eight hours of time, the institutional systems designed to absorb shocks have already failed. The insurance market, the shadow fleet, the diplomatic channels, and the reservoir physics are all converging on the same conclusion at different speeds, and NASHA is the one that shows up on satellite.
The market is pricing a ceasefire.
The Pentagon is pricing six months of mine clearance.
Iran just pulled a corpse out of the Persian Gulf and asked it to buy two days.
That is not how a reversible crisis looks. That is how a regime tells you, operationally, that it has run out of options between the blockade and the shut-in. The reservoir does not negotiate.

Rubio: “Macron acaba de decir que Europa debe separarse de EEUU y no intervenir en sus guerras… Cuando Macron intentó jugar a ser una superpotencia y luchar contra el terrorismo en África, ni siquiera pudo llevar a sus tropas por aire; tuvimos que hacerlo nosotros por él.” 🤣
🇮🇷 El Príncipe Heredero de Irán, Reza Pahlavi, EXPONE a la UE diciendo que están demasiado ocupados criticando a EE.UU. e Israel por eliminar al dictador que ha masacrado a su gente durante 47 AÑOS en lugar de ir tras el régimen que en realidad está haciendo las matanzas.
.@SECWAR "To the regime in Tehran,
The blockade is tightening by the hour. WE ARE IN CONTROL. NOTHING IN—NOTHING OUT.
Iran’s battered military—the IRGC specifically—has been reduced to a gang of pirates with a flag. They cloak their aggression in slogans, but the world now sees them for what they are: criminals on the high seas."
