2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Let me be blunt: The "Iran deal" hysteria is out of fkn control. Some of you are being played so easily by "anonymous sources" and nefarious chaos agents, it's become painful to watch. Imagine being dragged by a ghost? Couldn't be my ass. Because I know who and what I voted for. I TRUST PRESIDENT TRUMP. THE MAN WHO'S actual public positions have been sitting in plain sight for a OVER A DECADE. 📢From his very first Foreign Policy speech in 2016: 1. Trump does not broadcast strategy in advance: "We should be unpredictable." 2. His position on Iran has been consistent for over a decade: "Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and, under a Trump Administration, will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon." 3. He believed Obama's Iran deal strengthened Iran: "He negotiated a disastrous deal with Iran, and then we watched them ignore its terms, even before the ink was dry." 4. His Middle East goal was stability, not endless regime change wars: "In the Middle East our goals must be, and I mean must be, to defeat terrorists and promote regional stability, not radical change." 5. He explicitly favored diplomacy and cooperation where interests align. (think gulf states ) "War and aggression will not be my first instinct. You cannot have a foreign policy without diplomacy." "seek common ground based on shared interests." So before I let anonymous sources, leaks, and people who have wanted Trump to fail since 2015 dictate my emotions, I'll look at Trump's actual record. The man has been saying the same thing about Iran and the Middle East for a decade: ▫️No nuclear weapon. ▫️Obama made a bad deal. ▫️Diplomacy first. ▫️Strength backed by unpredictability. The consistency is right there for anyone willing to read it. Everyone needs to just calm tf down and TRUST TRUMP. 🔗to full transcript in comments

Are there any republicans who find the Michelle Obama comment offensive? Are there any decent republicans out there.

The fact that John Podhoretz and MTG both dislike the Iran deal, and are losing their brains over it; makes me believe it really is a work of art. Trump and Rubio are definitely doing something right.

The biggest reason everyone is bad at foreign policy on this site, is simply because every person on the planet drops 1 standard deviation of IQ when talking about it. Then people lack the full picture, because a handful of individuals on the planet ever see the full picture. Those people are the DNI, the President, and whoever the President is briefed with.

Are you suggesting that the people with security clearance and get briefings on this, know more about what's happening than random people on X?!?!?!

Hardliners in Iran are furious about the deal. They want revenge. Khamenei’s blood is still fresh, and “now Ghalibaf and Araghchi are signing with the enemy?” The unity against Israel and the US is what held this regime together. As that fades, and the economic collapse continues, expect the cracks to show. One Iranian source on the ground told me the hardliner base wants “Ghalibaf and Araghchi’s heads on a stick”

Unless Trump is playing good cop with a plan to allow Israel to operate unhindered against the Iranian hardliners, the US has squandered what remains of its moral authority in order to appease leftists, the leftist press, woke right isolationists, and Islamists. It’s easy to try for popularity. I’d thought Trump was in the fight for the right reasons, but it’s far easier to join the mob, as history shows.

UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.
