Whose Deal Is It AnywayšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡®šŸ‡·? Ā  Where terms are made up and the outcome doesn’t matter! Ā  News outlets, speaking to unnamed officials, negotiators, & the White House have produced wildly conflicting frameworks. Ā  šŸ‘€It's so confusing, we created an infographic just to keep track.

The details of a deal between Iran and the United States is unclear.
 What is clear, is that Iran has violated EVERY nuclear agreement they've signed on to. @BlaiseMisztal explains to @MarkieMartin @NewsNation

A new report from @jinsadc highlights that Qatar’s billion-dollar ties with U.S. universities go beyond philanthropy, citing access to research, governance, and programming at elite schools. Foreign influence should not have access to America's higher education.

From late 2024, as Corsair broke cover: axios.com/2024/10/30/saronic… "What we're watching: Will the company's mass-production plans match Pentagon dollars? And how will Corsair, fresh off the factory floor, perform under fire?"
🌊 Corsair, unveiled in October 2024, is 24 feet long. It can travel 1,000 nautical miles, carry 1,000 pounds and hit speeds greater than 35 knots. Saronic CEO Dino Mavrookas started his career in the Navy and spent years with SEAL Team Six. @axios axios.com/2026/06/09/drone-b…

In response to media reports on the details of a near-final 60-day U.S.-Iran MOU, JINSA President and CEO @MichaelMakovsky encourages President Trump to reject it and issued the following statement: Ā  If the reported details of a proposed U.S.-Iran MOU are broadly accurate, it would represent a loss of American nerve and damaging strategic reversal in recent American policy, abandoning many of President Trump’s prior redlines, undercutting many of the tremendous achievements of the military campaign, and undermining U.S. credibility. Ā  I hope President Trump recognizes the enormous dangers posed by this reported MOU and rejects this disastrous arrangement. He should reverse course and restore American credibility by resuming military action that further weakens Iran’s conventional military and nuclear capabilities, ensuring the freedom of commerce through the Strait of Hormuz, maintains economic pressure on the Tehran regime, and supporting Iranians seeking to bring about the regime’s collapse, which is the ultimate strategic prize for the United States. Ā  The U.S.-Israeli military campaign made major advances in curbing Iran’s ability to project power and weakening the regime, for which both countries’ militaries and political leaders are to be commended. However, rather than degrading Iran further, this deal would strengthen and enrich it, thereby prolonging its survival. Ā  Comparisons to President Barack Obama’s 2015 JCPOA would be immediate and deserved. The United States would again be financially rewarding the Tehran regime to negotiate on its nuclear program while not addressing Iran’s missile capabilities or its aggressive regional activities. Ā  In some respects, this agreement is worse than the JCPOA, since the United States would be relinquishing leverage accumulated through 38 days of direct military confrontation, strategic isolation, maritime pressure, and visible deterioration of Iran’s internal and regional position. Ā  If Iran would not agree to acceptable American terms on its nuclear program during a ceasefire — while facing a blockade, economic strangulation, internal instability, and the credible prospect of renewed severe U.S.-Israeli military operations — there is no serious reason to believe lifting that pressure will produce a better outcome. Ā  Without the complete, permanent, and verifiable dismantlement of Iran’s entire nuclear program, the regime’s pathway back to nuclear weapons capability is preserved and will restart, no later than after President Trump leaves office. Ā  The Iranian regime and its supporters will rightly see this agreement as a victory over the United States, emerging not only intact but with new life thanks to the unfreezing of assets, the resumption of significant oil sales (mostly to China), and effective control over the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump would also be abandoning the Iranian population, with whom he has repeatedly expressed solidarity and support, by rescuing this brutal and corrupt regime from collapse. Ā  It betrays Israel, our full-fledged partner in the war, which reportedly opposes this deal and was given little say in it. Israel will undoubtedly need to conduct another military action against Iran at some point to undo the damage from this deal. Israel also cannot be expected to adhere to any Iranian veto over Lebanon, and will be compelled to maintain its military action against Iran’s terrorist proxy Hezbollah that continues to threaten Israel’s northern towns. Ā  The MOU also leaves exposed our Gulf Arab allies to an emboldened Iran as America retreats from the region. Ā  The lesson for the rest of the world will be that America can be coerced through brinkmanship, defiance, and threats to maritime commerce and energy markets. China will take note and is a clear winner, and Taiwan a loser. Ā  There should be no memorandum of understanding, interim deal, or partial arrangement with the Tehran regime, as it will not be worth the paper it is written on. (1/2)

There was no genocide. There was no famine. And there are no rape dogs. But on October 7, 2023 Hamas and other Palestinian raiders launched a war with mass rape and murder. Many filmed their atrocities. Here is a conclusive report documenting that horror. cc4e0711-9401-400e-ae14-65ae…

That is some pretty disgusting behavior.
New: Sen. Rand Paul’s son drunkenly accosted and hurled anti-Semitic insults at Rep. Mike Lawler at a Capitol Hill bar on Tuesday night. His son told Lawler that if Rep Thomas Massie loses, it’s going to be because of ā€œyour people.ā€ ā€œMy people?ā€ Lawler asked Paul. ā€œYeah, you Jews,ā€ Paul responded.Ā  ā€œDo you think I’m Jewish?ā€ Lawler asked. ā€œI’m not.ā€ ā€œOh wow, I’m so sorry for calling you a Jew,ā€ Paul said.Ā  He then said that Jews were ā€œanti-Americanā€ and how Lawler and his ā€œJewish supportersā€ served Israel more than America. notus.org/congress/william-p…

Spokespeople for the UAE did not immediately comment.
