@VerminusM You said it, baby!

I don't understand why the US is permitting Iranian ships to pass through the Hormuz straits while the Iranians are not permitting American ships to pass. The straits should be open either to everyone or no one.

@C_3C_3 Look at the salaries at the head of these NGO's. They are not calibrated to the work required, but to the amount of the grant. That fact tells you the real intent of these "Saints."

I always knew there was fraud with our tax dollars but I never knew the fraud was this bad. DOGE and Nick Shirley opened my eyes. Then the reaction from the Left opened them wider. It seems like at least 50%-75% of our tax dollars go to fraud. Did you know it was this bad?

@jwilcox79 If you want to see long term damage, look to Democrat governance in California. Just undeniable.

Someone disagreed with my recent take that the Trump presidency will do more long-term damage to the US than 9/11 and its aftermath. But stuff like this is why I mean that. He has broken America in irreparable ways, and shredded alliances & soft power generations had built.

@TonyLaneNV I doubt he'll serve it all, but he's definitely an adult at 18. Was he a repeat offender? The revolving door policies of judges, fashionable today has just increased the level of violence, theft and mayhem. He should have trained to be a trucker, they hire all the time.

18 YEARS OLD… 25 YEARS IN PRISON A Texas teen just got hit with 25 years for a convenience store robbery. The judge made it clear - probation wasn’t even on the table due to his previous record while being held in jail. Said he didn’t have a real chance at success outside. His family broke down in court as the sentence was handed down. At 18… your whole life is just starting - But one decision can change everything forever. Do you think this sentence fits the crime… or is it too much? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@Kingbingo_ Comically short sighted to think a nuclear armed Iran could use the straits to play with the wold's oil supply/price....

Comically short sighted first-order thinking. Hormuz isn’t just oil/LNG: it’s helium, fertiliser inputs, petrochem feedstocks, industrial gases. You don’t get ‘no fuel’, you get cascading industrial failure of which the US is the largest global node. And if the US stops underwriting sea lanes, you’re eroding the very system (petrodollar) that US power sits on.

@DarrigoMelanie Obviously Melanie hasn't seen the recent videos of Californians being paid to sign petitions using other people's names/addresses. Ignorance is bliss.

Only 10 undocumented immigrants have successfully cast ballots over the last 25 years. There are more Trump allies in the Epstein files than there are undocumented immigrants voting. The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression bill that protects Trump and his Epstein allies.

@Microinteracti1 Gotta agree, even though I hate to. Leaders should watch their words. Playing the Cowboy can bite you later.

Europe told Trump and Vance, clearly and seriously, that Russia’s war against Ukraine and its hybrid warfare campaign across the continent represents the greatest security threat Europe has faced since 1945. Europe said this as a NATO ally. As a partner of seven decades. As a bloc that has housed American bases, funded American adventures, and sent its sons to die in American wars without much complaint. Trump and Vance looked at this and said: not our problem. It’s happening on your continent. We have important things to attend to. The important things turned out to be nothing. There were no important things. There was golf, there was television, and there was a remarkable amount of time spent being angry about things on the internet. Then, approximately some months later, the same administration announced it intended to seize Greenland. A sovereign territory. From a NATO ally. By force if necessary. So to summarise: defending Europe from an actively invading nuclear power is not America’s problem. Illegally annexing a Danish island in the Arctic is apparently a matter of urgent national interest. Now. If anyone in the MAGA universe is sitting there expecting Europe to provide diplomatic cover, logistical support, intelligence sharing, or a single sympathetic press release for whatever America is currently doing in the Middle East, I have some news for you. You told us you weren’t our allies. We were listening. You don’t get to turn the alliance on and off depending on which direction the aggression is pointing. That is not how it works. That is not how any of this works. Europe will not be helping. Europe will be watching. You made that bed. Enjoy it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@OunkaOnX Did Tucker ask Kent why the Iranians didn't allow unimpeded inspections by the IAEA? They could have cleared the worry, but chose to bury the facilities deep under a mountain. Draw your own conclusions...

Tucker: "Was Iran about to get a nuke?" Kent: "No. They've had a religious ruling against it since 2004. We had no intelligence that it was being disobeyed." So the entire war-the thousands dead, the billions spent, the American soldiers buried-was based on nothing. No nukes. No threat. Just a lie sold to justify a war that was always for Israel

@DanDePetris WE close the strait too, and seize and send to the U.S. any tankers violating the closure to be drained of their oil as a fine.

Iran isn’t going to allow normal traffic through the Strait of Hormuz until the U.S. and Israel stop the war—and even then, the flow might not reach pre-war levels. The U.S., in turn, won’t stop the war until it has confidence that Hormuz will be re-opened (among other things). Normally, diplomats would be trying to explore whether a mutually-acceptable arrangement could turn this scenario into a reality. Unfortunately, Iran has been burned by Trump’s diplomacy twice before; Trump seems to favor escalation over a deal; and Israel wants to destroy the regime, not see other countries make deals with it. Where do we go from here?

@LilithLovett Simply counterfactual. Cards were required at many events I attended. If one stayed holed up in one's house, the claim could have been true.

I live in one of the bluest cities in California and I’ve never had to use my vaccination card for anything during the entirety of the pandemic.

@RoKhanna Yes, but one successful nuclear strike with a ballistic missile perfected by Iran's considerable missile industry would wipe out that number 10 times over. Waiting to attack Iran would have increased the threat to our fleet by Chinese supplied anti ship ballistic missiles.

$200 billion would pay for free college for every American, $10 day childcare, 1000 new trade schools, the 40% federal share of special needs education and a lot more. What are we even doing here? MAGA is now Iran first?

@AmyMcGrathKY Truly clueless post. Try doing other subjects. What were the pre positioned Marines holding, drone swatters? This thing is totally planned ,except for how to recover the 60% enriched Uranium. Any sentient person knew the straits would be closed during a missile war.

It's not "rooting against America" to point out that after 3 weeks of this war, it's clear the Trump WH didn't plan for Hormuz to be closed, a major strategic blunder. Trump attacked Iran with no allied support. We had no plan to evacuate Americans in the region. No pre-positioned Marines to secure the strait and ensure flow of oil. If you liked the quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, you’re going to love Iran.

@yasminalombaert You mean the Chancellor of the largest Euro economy who literally doesn't have a viable military anymore and has let the heavy manufacturing sector disappear? And he's complaining about planning???

This is the leader of Europe’s largest economy telling Trump: ‘You didn't ask us, you don't have a plan, and we are no longer following you into the dark.' Chancellor Friedrich Merz: "To this day, there is no convincing concept of how this operation could succeed. Washington did not consult us and deemed European assistance unnecessary. Ladies and gentlemen, we would have advised against pursuing this road the way it has been pursued at present. We do not want, dear colleagues, for this war to become a burden on the transatlantic partnership. We want this partnership, and we need it. That is why we are engaging in dialogue with Washington at all levels. In doing so, we are following what I stated a month ago at the Munich Security Conference: We are seeking transatlantic agreement. Therefore, I have always made it clear: We share important goals with the USA. But we must not, and will not, shy away from honestly telling our partners where we see things differently and where we have different interests. Such a partnership must withstand this, otherwise it is not a partnership, dear colleagues."

@TimothyDSnyder No, the huge spending increases since Covid are part of it. The other is " a program for everything " philosophy. And 2 more: NGO bosses collect on the size of the grant, not the work required, and the rampant fraud shows no-one cares or checks how it is spent.

The primary cause of the national debt is that the very wealthy don’t pay taxes. Migrants pay their share. The oligarchs Miller fronts for do not.

@AQuartermain @CBoTheEggman No, the vast majority of spending is always domestic spending. The Democrat trick is to fund all this stuff and then collect kickbacks from the NGO's. The NGO beads salaries are based on the revenue stream and not the work done.

@LarrryC1 @CBoTheEggman The Republicans trick is to cut taxes and increase spending, then once the economy crashes and Dems are in charge use the debt they created to argue against domestic spending.

Crazy to me that 41% of the country can trust Republicans on the economy after every Republican president for the last 50 years has ushered in a recession

@WalshFreedom Well, life's been good to me so far...

Trump’s America is an America no one wants to come to, invest in, visit, work in, go to school in, seek refuge/asylum in, partner with, become a citizen of, do business with, vacation in, and even be an ally of. All the data since Trump was sworn in confirms this. MAGA, MAGA.👇

@David_J_Bier Not anti immigrant, anti uncontrolled, open the border chaos, Ala Biden . Unprecedented and not allowed by ANY country in the world, ever. When a terror cell ,whose individuals came in those 4 years performs an attack here, you guys will hide your posts, or change your monikers.

Many conservatives are remembering how Paul Ehrlich was wrong about all his enviro-pessimism and supposed constraints on growth, but all those views are the same concerns that fuel the anti-immigrant movement. Zero sum. Fixed pie. Misanthropy. People as "takers," not makers.

@GovPressOffice First cabinet meeting is scheduled at the French Laundry.

EVERY AMERICAN FAMILY NOW GETS A “TARIFF AND GAS SPIKE REFUND” TO BUY A CHEAP ELECTRIC CAR! THE COUNTRY IS NOW RUN BY SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY COMPLETE A SENTENCE. AMERICA IS NOW “HOT” BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DYSLEXIC PRESIDENT INSTEAD OF A BRAIN-DEAD ONE. BIG UPGRADE!!! — GOVERNOR GCN

@LePapillonBlu2 Next on the Agenda? Thousand(s) of protesters killed by the Iranian regime recently.

Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz on Trump: "The war against Iran is illegal which took lives of 160 kids & now there is crisis at Strait of Hormuz. Shame on those who align with Trump". 👏🏽

@SenSanders Senator Sanders: the complete lack of management of funds, once appropriated, means I don't care about your post. Rampant fraud exposed in program after program is emboldened by a totally lazy Congress.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers
