REPORTER: Whose idea was it to put ICE agents in the airports? @POTUS: "Mine... you know the story of the paper clip? 182 years ago, a man discovered the paper clip. It was so simple, and everybody that looked at it said, 'Why didn't I think of that?' ICE was my idea."

Trump is handing Iran $14 billion in oil revenues which is TEN TIMES the amount of money he criticized that they received from the Iran deal.
He is panicking over explosive gas prices he caused and now he is fueling a lifeline for Iranโs military and terror machine while they fire missiles and drones on our servicemembers and allies.
Trump is funding both sides of this war.

SMS was never designed for speed. It runs on a protocol called SS7 built in 1975 where getting a message delivered at all was the achievement, not getting it delivered in three seconds. Every OTP you request travels through at least three separate systems before it reaches you: your appโs server, an SMS gateway, and your mobile carrierโs network. Each one has its own queue. Each one has its own definition of โdelivered.โ
Network congestion is what happens when that chain gets overwhelmed. An SMS gateway processing millions of authentication messages simultaneously from banks, apps, and platforms all firing OTPs at the same time starts to back up. Your carrierโs network, handling voice calls, data traffic, and SMS all at once, adds another queue on top. During peak hours, public events, or widespread outages, that congestion compounds at every layer. Your message isnโt dropped. Itโs waiting silently, with no status update, no progress bar, no indication that anything is moving at all.
This is also why hitting resend often makes both OTPs arrive together. The second message enters the same congested pipe. When the congestion clears and it usually clears in a sudden flush everything queued behind it releases at once. Two messages. Same destination. Same moment of delivery.
The deeper problem is that SMS was never architected with reliability guarantees. Unlike data packets on the internet, which have error-checking, rerouting, and delivery confirmation built into the protocol, SMS operates on a best-effort model. The network will try. It wonโt promise. And during congestion, trying is sometimes all it does.
An OTP with a 30-second expiry sitting in a queue for 45 seconds isnโt a security feature working as intended. Itโs a 50-year-old protocol meeting a modern expectation it was never built to meet.
