BREAKING: In a SCATHING statement, Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton just called out Donald Trump's War In Iran for what it is: a complete and utter FAILURE.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Iran war by the numbers, and none of them are good… -$29 billion spent by the U.S. military -$58 billion in Gulf energy infrastructure damaged or destroyed -Global growth slowing from 2.9% to 2.5% -The World Bank downgrading two-thirds of countries -Gas hitting $4/gallon nationally and $6 in California 127 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz in the entire 3 weeks between May 18-June 7, before the war that number was 100 ships per day. 15 Asian countries are now seeking emergency loans, the Philippines declared a national energy emergency and bought Russian oil for the first time in 5 years, and Sri Lanka moved to a 4-day work week. A deal was agreed to yesterday and the Strait will reopen Friday after it’s made official… but the bill for this war will be paid for years to come. Source: Financial Times / Writer: Michael

"A team of career lawyers who had spent months scrutinizing the deal were leaning toward recommending a lawsuit challenging it," the WSJ reports

Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world. And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

President Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities in the first three months of the year — an unprecedented sum for a sitting president. cbsn.ws/4eqg612

We spent over $70B bombing them. We will spend $300B to rebuild them. We lost this war, and now we will be funding Iran.

Mamuka Artmeladze was 43 years old. He had no criminal record. No charges. No court date. He entered this country legally and was swept up in a mass enforcement operation targeting truck drivers. ICE’s own records confirm he posed no threat and should not have been detained at all. After 4 months inside Winn Correctional Center, a for-profit facility already under federal investigation for banned chokehold use, falsified medical records, and inhumane conditions, Mamuka was found unresponsive in his cell. He was pronounced dead less than an hour later. The cause of death is still pending autopsy. ICE has offered no answers. This is not an isolated incident. Fifty people have died in ICE custody since this administration took office — the deadliest period for immigration detention in over two decades. This is a system. 🎥: @hereswhykevin

BREAKING: An Economics Professor Just Made A Pretty Stunning Argument About Elon Musk. According to the professor, Musk spent roughly $250 million during the 2024 election cycle. He claims that's just 0.025% of Musk's wealth. In other words, the amount spent was so small relative to Musk's fortune that he could theoretically spend the same amount thousands of times over. That's a democracy question, not just a money question.

28 years and Hegseth cancels it. This isn’t anti-DEI. It’s hate designed to push them out of service. — Air Force cites DEI ban in cancellation of wreath-laying honoring women vets militarytimes.com/news/penta…

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII. His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General. Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

“President Trump himself will occupy an arena-level seat, positioned like a Roman emperor in his pulvinar—the imperial box—and surrounded by senators and dignitaries, if not the traditional six Vestal Virgins” theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

We’ve had few military heroes greater than Chappie James. This is nothing more than rank racism, plain and simple, and utterly despicable and disgraceful to the Office this traitor holds.

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning? TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.
