BREAKING: Iranian state media reports that the Strait of Hormuz will be jointly administered by Iran and Oman. (Before the war, the strait was fully open and was not under Iranian administration.)

Let me get this straight... I'm supposed to clap like a good little goy because the Strait of Hormuz was opened back up? Exactly like it was before we attacked Iran? Only now: -Gas is WAY more expensive -BILLIONS of dollars wasted -13 American lives have been lost No thanks.

Trump: “I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz…Let the oil flow!” A reminder: the Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump’s stupid and costly war. We achieved NOTHING.
BREAKING: Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announces that a peace agreement between the United States and Iran has been reached. “Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.”

FYI Iran is now rich and will control the strait while selling their oil on the open market. I was critical of Obamas deal, but this makes that look amazing in comparison. Trump F’ed it all up then got bored, but he’s 80. He won’t have to live with the consequences for long. We will
The President has put our country first and negotiated a peace deal that will keep us safe and prevent Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon. From the very beginning, @POTUS maximized our leverage, limited casualties, and brought credible military force to ensure the best possible outcome. This is one hell of a way to celebrate a birthday. Congratulations, Mr. President. x.com/whitehouse/status/2066…

$500 per vote. That’s what the Israeli lobby spent to beat me, and they still couldn’t do it with factual ads, or even fake ads based on policy. They ran with personal lies and AI videos to convince elderly voters I was sleeping with Ilhan Omar and AOC at the same time.

Another example of this administration’s blatant disregard for the rule of law
In court filing, Team Trump said “thunderstorms” caused Kennedy Center to violate court order and fail to remove Trump’s name by deadline Filing doesn’t explain why they waited til last minute to do the job

Elon Musk criou, em um único dia, 4.400 novos milionários. Quase 400 deles ultrapassaram os US$ 100 milhões. Não são banqueiros nem investidores de risco. São funcionários da SpaceX: soldadores, técnicos, mecânicos e até funcionários da cantina. Durante vinte anos, a empresa pagou gente de todos os níveis com ações, não só com salário alto. Quem produziu colheu. Juan Hernandez, imigrante mexicano, aceitou um emprego de soldador por US$ 28 a hora em 2015, sem nem saber direito o que era a SpaceX. Recebeu uma pequena participação de US$ 10 mil e pôde comprar mais por desconto em folha. Hoje sua fatia vale US$ 880 mil. Trevor Hise ignorou os conselhos dos pais para pegar um emprego “seguro” na General Electric. Escolheu a SpaceX, ficou 12 anos e acumulou mais de 100 mil ações. Ao preço da listagem, são US$ 13,5 milhões. Aos 37 anos, ele já pode se aposentar. Palavras dele: “A magnitude disso é ridícula.” O detalhe mais eloquente veio antes mesmo da abertura de capital: mais de 100 funcionários se uniram discretamente para contratar uma gestora de fortunas capaz de cuidar de até US$ 5 bilhões. Muitos nunca tinham precisado de wealth manager na vida. Há décadas os IPOs de empresas de tecnologia enriquecem programadores. Desta vez, o dinheiro chegou ao chão de fábrica. Isso é capitalismo de verdade: quem arrisca, quem trabalha e quem entrega valor colhe frutos proporcionais. A esquerda odeia esse tipo de história. Porque ela prova que a verdadeira ascensão social não vem de dividir a miséria alheia, mas de criar riqueza que eleva quem tem coragem de construir.

🚨 WTF?! A USS Liberty survivor drops a massive bombshell. He confirms they were threatened with prison or worse if they ever spoke about the Israeli attack. Another veteran explicitly states "Israel owns us" after being ignored by Congress for 59 years. Total betrayal!
🚨 DISGUSTING: Patriot Rep. Thomas Massie exposes how the Washington establishment completely ignored the USS Liberty survivors for 59 years! He reveals these brave men, now in their 80s, still have Israeli shrapnel in their bodies that sets off Capitol metal detectors.

The U.S. government ran a budget deficit in May of $293 billion, well above estimates and up 32% from a year earlier. The government also paid a record $133 billion in interest, a 44% YoY jump. Annualized, that's $1.6 trillion in interest, 30% of tax receipts! Disaster awaits!

So what was the point of the whole war? The SOH was already open; they already didn't have a nuke; they already weren't seeking one; the 400kg of 60% HEUs was already designed to trade for sanctions relief, etc, etc. Likewise, they had self-defense missiles and still do. They had alliances with other Shiite regimes and still do. The regime supposedly signing the deal wasn't replaced and hasn't changed.......except there is a younger Ayatollah who is pissed because Bibi/Donnie blew off his chin and left leg and killed his father, mother, wife and niece, among other family members and close associates. So its status quo ante plus sanctions relief and a return of the tens of billions the US stole from Iran in the first place. Oh, and the hard-pressed taxpayers of Flyover America get to pay $100 to fill their gas tank and send $300 billion of reconstruction money to compensate Iran for the damage caused by $50 billion of US bombs and missiles since Feb. 28th. The Art of the Deal (apparently) works in wondrous ways!
🇮🇷🇺🇸 Mehr News Agency reports the full details of the 14-article draft U.S.-Iran MoU: - Immediate and permanent ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon - Lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days - U.S. withdrawal of forces from areas surrounding Iran. - Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian arrangements - Suspension of oil and petrochemical sanctions - The U.S. and its allies would present a $300 billion reconstruction plan for Iran - Release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian funds over 60 days, with half available before negotiations begin - Final negotiations on nuclear issues and full sanctions removal will last 60 days. - The final agreement will be endorsed by a UN Security Council resolution - Discussions on Iran’s missile program and support for resistance groups are completely off the table - U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs. This draft MoU is quite favorable to Iran. Tehran would keep control of the Strait of Hormuz, maintain its missile program and support for proxy groups (Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.), and receive massive economic relief ($24B immediately $300B reconstruction plan). In return, Iran would hand over enriched uranium, limit long-term enrichment, and commit to no nuclear weapons. If signed, it would effectively end the current war (at least temporarily), give Iran major economic breathing room, and represent a significant diplomatic victory for Tehran while leaving several core issues unresolved for the future.

Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants. According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet: “These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

The Donald should be kissing Xi's rump because China's GDP, industrial production, consumer spending and exports, and therefore oil use, did not go on vacation after Feb. 28. So the commies are deeply draining their stocks. But they will likely replace them after Bibi & Donnie's idiotic "excursion" in the Persian Gulf is over. So high oil prices will not "drop like a rock", but stay higher for longer because stocks will be rebuilt in China and the world over for many months after the shooting stops. In turn, this means a GOP wipe-out in November and that Trump will be on the Richard Nixon Memorial Helicopter Ride before June 2027 (to avoid an impeachment conviction in the US Senate).
A key idea in Chinese statecraft since ancient times is that the state has a responsibility to stabilize inherently unstable markets for essential commodities (see How China Escaped Shock Therapy). Public stockholdings like the ever normal granary participated in the market buying when prices are low and selling when prices are high for centuries with the goal of stabilizing supply and demand, prices and ultimately the value of money. Now China is doing just that with the global oil market: It has drastically reduced its imports, hence pushing down demand in a time of global supply shortages. This is possible thanks to massive public reserves and strategic redundancy (some like to call this “overcapacity”). @JavierBlas finds that the number one reason why oil prices have not shot above USD 100 is China, China and China. Imagine how much more stability the world could enjoy, if all countries engaged in such buffer stock stabilization for essentials such as grain. I have been calling for this at the G20 food security task force last year (see link below).
