The discourse and political culture of the current U.S. ruling establishment—especially those among them who suffer from sexual disorders and dysfunctions—has deteriorated to such an extent that they no longer feel any need to conceal their own vices. They openly take pride in acts of piracy and in stealing from Iran.
It is nauseating.
Several European countries have lower GDP per capita than the poorest US state, Mississippi.
The real story isn’t that Mississippi got rich. It’s that Europe spent decades choosing stagnation, regulations, and overtaxation over growth, and now the gap is impossible to ignore.
Iran’s series of ballistic-missile salvos aimed at Israel signal Tehran’s desire to project power across the region, put Washington on the defensive and demonstrate that it retains significant strike capabilities https://t.co/ijK1bsiZ2f
Trump exclaimed in an interview with the FT on Sunday: “I call the shots. I call all the shots. [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.” US president’s frustration with continued Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Iran erupts as he pushes to end the war. https://t.co/aGpSZOBTCC
Trump on Iran:
If we go and bomb, which we can do very easily if we want, and we spend another two or three weeks bombing, they'll have nothing left whatsoever.
But you won't have the strait open for months. Uh, if we do the bombing, you know, a lot of people are going to be killed. Who wants to do that? I don't.
And we'll get—we'll have a signed document that's actually stronger than doing the bombing.

BREAKING: US President Donald Trump has told reporters that Israel and Iran will leave each other alone for at least a week, after he had a “very good conversation” with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Sky News: “If Netanyahu goes back to war with Iran, will you be with him?”
Trump: "I don't think it'll happen. It's all working out very well. Iran is doing what they have to do; I don’t think that's going to happen, ok?”
RECAP:
Israel struck Iran in two waves overnight. The IDF officially confirmed strikes on "military targets belonging to the Iranian terror regime in central and western Iran"
Iran fired back with multiple ballistic missile salvos toward Israel.
The White House said the US had no involvement in the Israeli strikes. CNN then reported that American forces did not intercept any Iranian missiles fired at Israel. A departure from previous rounds when the US actively defended Israel with its own systems.
Washington coordinated the offense and sat out the defense. That distinction was deliberate.
Channel 12 filled in the backstory: Trump called Netanyahu twice. The first call came before the strikes, warning against escalation. Netanyahu struck anywaye.
After Iran's final barrage, Tehran signaled readiness for a ceasefire. As Israel prepared a third, larger strike with aircraft already on the runway, Trump called again: "You did what you did. Now hold your fire. We are heading toward an agreement."
Netanyahu cancelled the operation.
Stay tuned for more. Unfortunately
Iranian offical to Al Jazeera: Tehran says U.S. revisions to the draft deal are unacceptable, warning an agreement cannot be reached without sanctions relief and access to frozen funds.
BREAKING: Iran rejects Trump's claim today that a deal is "very close" and that Iran is "interested" in signing it, with an Iranian official telling CNN that Iran "has no objection to talking with the US," anymore, and the reason for Trump's call to Netanyahu to stop the planned much larger third Israeli attack on Iran today was not any imminent agreement or ceasefire like Trump claimed.
