New York politicians like Kathy Hochul couldn’t be any stupider in their stubborn refusal to reverse the state’s ban on the extraction of natural gas. In the alternative, they should at least allow Constitution Pipeline to be built to deliver PA natural gas through NY and into New England, but even that level of common sense is too much for their low IQ brains to wrap their heads around. So sad the way they are enthusiastically driving their state into the ground.

I was told Communist China was going to step into the void we left and fund all these things to gain influence. Strange.
Hey why didn’t other countries step up to fill the gaps left by USAID? Was it not a humanitarian imperative for France or Germany or the UK to fund those programs? Was it American taxpayers or no one? (Hint: it’s because Jon is full of shit)

𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗝. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 - 𝟬𝟮:𝟬𝟯 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝟬𝟲.𝟭𝟮.𝟮𝟲 At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth. Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity. During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls. With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones. Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive. This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Iranian hardliners are unhappy with the deal — which probably is a good sign
با مشاهده‌ی متن توافق باید اعلام کنم، نسبت به دو نسخه‌ی قبلی، خسارت بارتر و عقب‌نشینی‌های ایران نیز بیشتر شده است

US partnership with “Little Sparta” UAE stronger than ever. 🇺🇸🇦🇪
President Sheikh Mohamed met Mike Waltz, US ambassador to the UN, in Abu Dhabi to discuss strengthening UAE-US strategic relations and regional developments. The talks took place against the backdrop of military escalation that has put a fragile US-Iran ceasefire under strain

Time is not on Iran's side. A lot of people assume delay automatically improves your position. It doesn't. Time only creates leverage when conditions are improving. If they are getting worse, waiting is not a strategy. Appreciate #FoxNews for the conversation. #TikTokPolitics

IRAN GOT THE MESSAGE "When the president uses that phrase, tap, tap, tap... something is going to come tap, tap, tapping on the Iranians... They realized he wasn't kidding about Kharg Island, and now suddenly... we're close to a deal that no American president has gotten." - @VictoriaCoates @AmandaHead @jsolomonReports

"Why are things more modern, prosperous, and high-tech in Saudi Arabia than they are in Iran? That makes no sense. And I think we're going to have some real opportunities going forward." @VictoriaCoates argues that the decisive military containment utilized against Iran has now opened new doors for diplomatic progress across the region. @jsolomonReports @AmandaHead

While Iranians are divided over whether these frozen funds should be made available to victims of the regime's terrorism, or stay frozen to be returned to the Iranian people, one thing is undeniable: Iranians are losing far more every single month the Islamic Republic stays in power. 1. Iran loses an estimated $150B/year in human capital, that's $12.5B/month, as 150,000–180,000 educated Iranians flee the country every single year. Iran ranks #1 globally in brain drain. 2. At least over 35% of Iranian youth aged 15–24 are unemployed. For young women, the rate hits 40% (that's 1 in 3). In some provinces, youth joblessness reaches 50–63%. This is a generation with unmeasurable potential that is systematically wasted. 3. Iran holds world's 2nd largest gas reserves, wastes $15B/year in energy alone: $12B from gas flaring/leaks, $3.5B in power losses. Every single day, 86 million cubic meters of gas disappear before reaching any Iranian home or factory. Ordinary Iranians have to struggle with energy shortages. 4. Corruption linked to the IRGC and the regime-connected businessmen costs Iran's economy $15–25B/year. IRGC control 30–50% of the formal economy, operate 60 unauthorized ports for smuggling, and funnel billions to Hezbollah, Houthis, and proxies, brining Iran to blackouts and shortages. 5. Iran's oil exports have collapsed 89% in 2 months — from 1.9M barrels/day in March to below 100,000 in May 2026. That's a potential loss of $276M/day in export revenue. The $24B in frozen assets that the regime is demanding back is what Iran's corrupt inner circle squanders in roughly 2 months between brain drain, energy waste, and IRGC plunder. The Iranian people deserve a government that invests in them, not bleeds them dry.
The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing. Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts. Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts. Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.

Seeing a different Iran is a feature not a bug sport.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: "Wrong strategies and impulsive decisions will reset the entire board for the worse, explode energy infrastructure and markets and create an endless quagmire that you will be stuck in for years. You will see a different Iran."
