Besides your mom and dad and like 3-5 actual legit friends you have, literally no one gives a fuck about you in any capacity whatsoever

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle. The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying to emails with your real thoughts and just being generally fake 8 hours a day for 40 year’s straight and not letting it drive you insane

🚨BREAKING:🚨 New election integrity bill doesn’t only mandate citizenship and ID to vote — it makes states CLEAN THEIR ROLLS of illegals, and penalizes officials who register illegal voters

This would DESTROY the Democrat Party as we know it!

Do you firmly support this?

A. Huge Yes
B. No

IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!

MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO!!!!! 👏

KU BASEBALL WINS A REGULAR SEASON CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆

[KUsports.com @KUsports]

The KU baseball team, which until last season hadn't made an NCAA regional for 11 years, may soon get the chance to host one for the first time.

Here's how KU wants to make Hoglund Ballpark "world class," and more on possible future facility upgrades.

🚨 This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it..

> Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely..

> Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again..

> zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash..

> the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed..

> Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps..

> Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request..

> Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed"..

> a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages..

> oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged..

> Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27..

all of this.. one Friday..

if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

Trump just posted two messages within minutes of each other. Read them together or you miss everything.

The first declares productive regime change, no uranium enrichment, nuclear dust removal under Space Force surveillance, sanctions and tariff relief for Iran, and many of 15 points already agreed. The second threatens 50 percent tariffs on any country supplying military weapons to Iran, effective immediately, no exclusions, no exemptions.

The first is the carrot for Iran. The second is the stick for China. Together they form the architecture of the most ambitious great-power negotiation since Bretton Woods.

Trump did not name China. He did not have to. Russia supplies weapons to Iran but annual US-Russia trade is under $500 million and already sanctioned into irrelevance. A 50 percent tariff on Russian goods costs America nothing. North Korea’s trade with the US is zero. The only country where a 50 percent blanket tariff on all goods sold to the United States inflicts catastrophic economic damage is China, which trades over $500 billion annually with the US and has been proven to be shipping military-grade chemicals to Iran during this war.

Five Iranian-flagged vessels departed Gaolan Port in Zhuhai, China between late February and early April carrying sodium perchlorate, the critical oxidiser precursor for solid rocket propellant used in every Iranian ballistic missile. The ships are the Hamouna, Barzin, Shabdis, Rayen, and Zardis. The cargo is sufficient to reconstitute hundreds of ballistic missiles. The same missiles that hit Israel, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar after the ceasefire was signed. The gCaptain shipping report, the Telegraph investigation, and the Institute for the Study of War all confirmed the shipments. Trump’s intelligence briefings contain the same data.

The tariff post is not about Iran. It is about Beijing.

This is the card Bessent carries to the mid-May summit. The architecture is now visible. At Islamabad on Friday, Vance and Witkoff negotiate the Iran ceasefire terms: nuclear dismantlement, proxy cutoff, sanctions relief. On April 19, the Treasury waiver on 140 million barrels of Chinese-bound Iranian crude expires. If Trump lets it lapse, every Iranian barrel afloat becomes sanctioned cargo and Chinese teapot refineries face secondary sanctions. Now, on top of the waiver, comes the 50 percent tariff threat on military supplies. China is squeezed from three directions simultaneously: its ghost fleet faces the waiver, its arms pipeline faces the tariff, and its rare earth monopoly faces the Bessent negotiation.

The question Xi must answer before mid-May is whether the cost of continuing to arm Iran and operate the ghost fleet exceeds the cost of trading those assets for tariff relief, rare earth agreements, agricultural purchases, and a framework that preserves Chinese access to the American market for another decade. Trump is not asking China to abandon Iran. He is pricing the relationship. And the price just became 50 percent of everything China sells to America.

The molecule crisis connects these two posts at the atomic level. Sodium perchlorate molecules from Gaolan become missile propellant in Isfahan. Petrochemical molecules from destroyed Iranian crackers become the reconstruction that sanctions relief would fund. Rare earth molecules from Chinese processors become the chips, magnets, and motors that justify MAG7 valuations. Every molecule passes through a chokepoint that one of the two presidents controls.

Two posts. Two targets. One table. And the price of every molecule on earth just changed.

Look, I get it, Dems.

You think buying Greenland is dumb.

You think trash-talking NATO is dumb.

You think Hegseth firing generals is dumb.

You think bombing Iran is dumb.

Fine. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. I’ll buy you a beer and we can argue about it.

But that’s not the point.

Every administration in American history has done dumb things.

Jefferson had an embargo that tanked his own economy.

LBJ had Vietnam.

Carter sold the Panama Canal for $1.

W. had “Mission Accomplished.”

Obama had…. where do I even begin?

Dumb is bipartisan. Dumb is American. Dumb is fine. DC runs on dumb decisions.

What NONE of them ever did, what is truly, mind-melting, pants-on-head, clown-car-fire, galaxy-brained, lead-paint-chip-eating, 50-IQ-Neanderthal-ripping-a-bong dumb, was pay NGOs by the busload to smuggle tens of millions of people, including actual convicted criminals, across a border we spent trillions pretending to defend, then hand them free four-star hotels, free cell phones, free ATM cards, and a court date in 2031 they were never going to show up for.

That is not a policy. That is a SNL cold open someone forgot to write a punchline for.

A five-year-old with a juice box could tell you that was Bozo-the-Clown-on-crack, Weekend-at-Bernie’s-running-DHS, “hold-my-beer-I’m-gonna-try-something” levels of stupid. My golden retriever could have run a tighter border. A Magic 8-Ball would have outperformed the entire Biden interagency.

That’s the new threshold, Democrats.
That’s the low-water mark. That’s the floor. That is the Mariana Trench of public policy and you personally rented the Titan submersible.

Argue all you want about the Strait of Hormuz. Write your op-eds. Go on cable TV with Tom Nichols. Clutch your pearls about Greenland.

But until Trump proposes something even half as mind-bendingly, bone-crushingly, civilization-forfeitingly brain-dead as what Biden and Kamala did with our borders, I genuinely do not care.

Zero F’s given by me.
