I get why so many people are frustrated or skeptical about this Iran MOU. On paper, it looks like a massive compromise: $300 billion in unfrozen assets, a fixed schedule to lift sanctions, and immediate oil export waivers for Tehran. But what were we expecting when on one side, Trump is facing an apocalyptic regime that wants the world to burn and on the other, an American public that has no stomach for war? He played the cards that were actually on the table.
I’m sick and tired of the politicians and podcasters who bitch and complain no matter what Trump does. They scream that the war has to stop, but the second he stops it, they turn around and yell, "what kind of deal is this?!" If the goal is to actually end Iran’s regime, history shows there's only one model that works: total WWII-style defeat, occupation, and denazification. That requires American boots on the ground and an Iranian people ready to build a free country from the rubble. But NO ONE, myself included, wants boots on the ground.
Is this MOU what Trump wanted? I doubt it. But he did exactly what a leader of a Republic should do: he listened to the people and found a way to end this. A dictator would have kept on going. At the end of the day, a president can only go as far as the people will carry him. Right now, our appetite for war stops at the gas pump.
Lionel Messi’s goal the only difference at HT.
Montiel has not impressed me so far, looks shaky everytime he gets the ball.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Expert pundit Simon Jordan completely destroys Cristiano Ronaldo on live TV.
He confirms the legendary striker is officially a busted flush and severely slowing the team down.
He exposes manager Martinez as an absolute coward for refusing to drop him!
Really good analysis from Henry. This is the Ronaldo issue right now.
He's playing as a 9, but he's never been a 9 and he's not acting as a 9. Not giving Portugal those traits and it hurt them today.
🚨WATCH: I'm American first, not "Black first."
Black people aren't a monolith. Different histories, different countries, different experiences. Leading with skin color over shared values is a box I refuse to put myself in. I believe in this country and what it offers.
Shoutout to @stephenasmith for inviting me on his show! Go give him a follow!
VANCE: “The Epstein Files Transparency Act, the one that president signed, the one that led to all these files that we’re seeing, the emails...”
“By the way Joy, again, I do have to defend my boss.”
“I know you guys don’t always appreciate this.”
“One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump and that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police.”
“That’s one of the things that came out of the files.”
NAVARRO: “They were best friends for about a decade...”
VANCE: “Let me respond to that.”
“Number one is, yes, Donald Trump, he’s said this.”
“He knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s, he also threw Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police.”
“That’s something the media misses when it reports the story.”
“They tell the fact they knew each other in 80s, which the president himself admits. They ignore the fact that he narced on him to police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein’s downfall.”
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
