Trump has won this war 7 times. He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times. And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times. What more do you want from him?

The Iranians will make no deal with Trump. They get the same outcome with or without a deal. This is what will happen next: 1) Counter-value strikes on Israel (civilian targets). This will exponentially raise the pressure on the Israeli government both militarily and internally. 2) Destruction of the GCC as a political entity. Iran has already achieved this by tearing Qatar and Oman away from the GCC's mainline stance, and now they're courting the Saudis to strike a deal. UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait won't survive as countries and will deal with the consequences of their hawkish stance. 3) Fracturing of NATO by making independent deals with the European member states through Turkish mediation. This will isolate the USA and piss them off even more than they presently are at NATO. 4) Reparations from the GCC -- Qatar has already reported paid a $6 billion "bribe" to Iran to exit the war and to apologize for its role in facilitating the US military. The rest of the guilty parties will either pay it by force via political dissolution or via a deal. Their natural gas and oil is useless with Iran controlling the Strait and having the ability to destroy their refineries/industrial operations. 5) An extremely pro-Iran deal with the USA or the unilateral American withdrawal without a deal. Both achieve the same outcome. This is why the Iranians aren't fussed about a deal until steps 1-4 are completed. This war ends soon regardless of Trump's next move as the chessboard has been cleared off already. That the USA had to spend $3 billion dollars in lost air frames just to recover 2 stranded F-15E pilots shows that the entire military campaign is unsustainable at current rates, let alone with a ground war. From my post 3 weeks ago, Iranians are already at step 6) of the strategy matrix. Trump's desperate threats to target Iranian infrastructure and his already on-going counter-value (civilian targeted) attacks on Iran are just hasten 6) earlier than I thought. The Iranians had been holding off from going fully counter-value since their interdiction campaign was unfolding flawlessly -- CENTCOM was destroyed and the US navy was kicked 1000 kilometers away from theater (drastically reduces sortie rates and efficiency). Ontop of that, they have taken out almost half of the total amount of aerial high-altitude refuelers present in theater. Their hand is being forced, and was naturally going to go for the counter-value option soon anyway. But at this stage of the war with the USA and Israel having exhausted >80% of their stand-off munitions and the Iranians activating state-of-the-art anti air systems, Iran has the upper-hand in a counter-value war and that will bring the entire conflict to a close sooner than thought. That's the final act of the war and the most brutal.

WOW. Meatball Ron goes after Trump, but can’t call him out by name. SAD!

The entire Iranian strategy matrix has been easy as fuck to read this entire war: 1) Close the Hormuz to start the timeclock til Trump is forced to TACO 2) Inflict cost on GCC so they pressure Trump to fuck off, while bearing insane costs themselves 3) Destroy CENTCOM (in the GCC countries Iraq) to eliminate US presence in the theater. 4) Destroy all radar equipment, including the Incirlik X-band radar in Turkiye, while striking a deal with Erdogan to let Turkish ships through the strait in exchange (seems like this backdoor deal was done). This will make Iranian ballistic missiles and drones exponentially more effective, and already has been. 5) Effect severe counterforce strikes on Israeli airbases, including if they evac to Cyprus, in order to neutralize all of their offense. 6) Keep the threat of intense counter-value strikes on the Gush Dan (Greater Tel Aviv area) in order to deter any major strikes on Iranian civilians. As Israel panics more and more, we will see #6 happen soon and that is what will ultimately seal the war in Iran's favor.

Top Gun: Maverick is really better than the first once you put aside the nostalgia and see that mentor-era Tom Cruise is the best version of Cruise. The pressure on him to get back in the game and find his mojo is so good.

Thoughts on Venezuela now the smoke has cleared.⬇️ 1. Trump Doctrine. This operation was thematically similar to last summer's attack on Iranian nuclear facilities - billed as a masterstroke, collapses under scrutiny, and gives Trump cover to disengage from a foreign adventure. 2. As an initial matter, this was all flagrantly illegal aggression against a sovereign state on pretenses so flimsy they're not even legally cognizable. We're literally charging Maduro with violating the National Firearms Act. Dude is going to be a martyr for the Second Amendment, I can't wait to see gun twitter jump all over this lol. 3. This was not actually regime change. Maduro was not a totalitarian law unto himself, he's an eminently replaceable Latin American kleptocrat. The Venezuelan government (to include its senior leadership) and military appear to be almost entirely intact. At the moment they're discussing simply implementing the legal line of succession through the Vice President and moving on with business as usual! In any event Trump discussing somehow picking a new government in Venezuela or exercising authority over the country's governance is a fantasy at this point, we're occupying nothing and we have no leverage. 4. Tying back into the above, all of those senior leaders and that military seem to have gotten the memo to change their bed down locations and not show up for duty last night. The assault force, flying in slow and highly vulnerable helicopters, took desultory small arms fire coming in but not the antiaircraft buzzsaw they should have run into over Caracas given the Venezuelans have had four months to prepare for war. It's unclear whether they faced any resistance at all on the ground - for all we know by that point Maduro had already been arrested by his own military and was simply handed over to the commandos. Certainly the troops were in and out very quickly, suggesting actions on the objective were largely pro forma. 5. Trump has immediately pivoted to an offramp in the Caribbean despite the fact that absolutely none of the ostensible underlying causes of our intervention are remotely resolved at this point - drugs, oil, expropriation, etc. In fact he's been quite clear the Chinese will get their oil, so he seems to consider the operation entirely concluded. As I mentioned above, this is identical to his offramp from the 12 Days' War - conduct a strike on Iranian nuclear sites that was far less impactful than it was billed as to the American public and which was actually below the retaliatory threshold of the Iranians, and then immediately declare victory and leave. This operation feels exactly as choreographed as the denouement of the 12 Days' War - conduct a flashy raid while the Venezuelan Army takes a siesta, get a scalp, declare victory and leave, after which the Venezuelan government shrugs and moves on. Perhaps the Venezuelan government will be persuaded to give US companies some oil concessions going forward.

As healthcare and basic costs climb, Trump and his billionaires are stealing this country blind. The corruption is staggering. Silicon Valley’s Man in the White House Is Benefiting Himself and His Friends - The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/11/30/techn…

These fucking grifters are about to loot your tax dollars to bail out their billionaire cronies for their idiotic AI investments

Every company listed below has suspicious revenue recognition. The actual chart with ALL the give-and-take deals would be unreadable. The future will regard this a picture of fraud, not a flywheel. True end demand is ridiculously small. Almost all customers are funded by their dealers. If you can name OpenAI's auditor in 1 hour you win some pride.

NOW - Trump says the U.S. needs H-1B immigrants to make computer chips and "train our people."

NOW - Trump says that H1B immigrants are necessary since there are not plenty of talented Americans. Laura: "We have plenty of talented people here!" Trump: "No, you don't. No, you don't... No, you don't have... You don't have certain talents and you have to... People have to learn."

Tucker Carlson is one of my favorite people. He fiercely loves his wife, children, and our country. Since being fired by the neocon network Fox News, he has more popularity and viewers than ever before. He unapologetically believes the same things I do. That if we don’t fight for our own country and our own people then we will no longer have a country for our children and our grandchildren. And foreign wars/intervention/regime change put America last, kill innocent people, are making us broke, and will ultimately lead to our destruction. That’s not kooky. That’s what millions of Americans voted for. It’s what we believe is America First.

JUST IN: President-elect Trump's Christmas message

Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!

JUSTICE FOR LAKEN RILEY! The Illegal who killed our beloved Laken Riley was just found GUILTY on all counts for his horrific crimes. Although the pain and heartbreak will last forever, hopefully this can help bring some peace and closure to her wonderful family who fought for Justice, and to ensure that other families don’t have to go through what they have. We love you, Laken, and our hearts will always be with you. It is time to secure our Border, and remove these criminals and thugs from our Country, so nothing like this can happen again!

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!
