SITREP: Iran War Next Steps (What should @realDonaldTrump do now)? Trump should double down on “peace through strength” with immediate, targeted military, economic & diplomatic pressure rather than chasing another round of endless talks that are only buying the Iranian regime & its CCP weapons depot time.  Like this war or not (and I do not), what is good for America is to figure out the best way to declare victory & turn this gas station over to those who benefit most. Face it, the regime won’t voluntarily surrender its nuclear insurance policy nor its ability to extort the world via the Strait of Hormuz. Not happening. Here’s my initial take on the next moves, based on the facts on the ground time now. 1. Remain absolutely rock steady. This is not a time to blink. Enforce the ultimatum with calibrated strikes. Let Iran know as well as China & North Korea and any other bad actor that deadlines are not suggestions. They have meaning & they have teeth. 2. Execute a maximum economic pressure campaign. Essentially strangle the regime’s revenue. Reimpose & expand secondary sanctions on anyone buying Iranian oil or helping evade restrictions. The reopening of the Straits of Hormuz issue is economic warfare. Keep it open by naval presence if needed but place demands on those nations who benefit the most to step up & provide security guarantees. Iran’s economy is hurting now so pair sanctions with public messaging that relief only comes after verifiable nuclear dismantlement & cessation of support for proxy groups (these groups have not only attacked Israel, they’ve attacked & killed/maimed thousands of Americans over decades). Starve the IRGC & the mullahs, don’t subsidize them as previous administrations have done. 3. Execute a strategic messaging campaign amplifying support for the Iranian people. Regime change from within is the long game (face it Mr. @POTUS , there hasn’t been any sort of effective regime change yet). However, there are clear cracks in the regime. Broadcast that the U.S. stands with Iranians who want to ditch the theocracy, and not with the Supreme Leader’s successors. There will be no U.S. “boots on the ground”. Instead smartly apply asymmetry and hybrid aspects of warfare (ie., info ops, cyber support, shrewdly backing opposition voices, etc). History shows authoritarian regimes crack when their own populations turn on them. This isn’t neoconservative nation-building, it’s leveraging America’s soft power where it works. 4. Initiate diplomatic isolation, instead of getting into endless talks. Work the partnerships & alliances that matter (some in Asia have little choice due to energy needs). Many of these partners want Iran contained anyway. Like it or not, even reluctant players in Europe must be engaged. Only use back channels if Iran shows real movement. No more “frameworks” or 10-point plans that buy the regime time. They haven’t worked in Ukraine, they most certainly won’t work with Iran. The U.S. has great leverage (superior military, energy independence, & strong alliances) while Iran has none, except short-term disruption. Mr. Trump, you already said it, they have “no cards.” Act like it. This isn’t warmongering, it’s realism. The JCPOA-era carrots first approach was a spectacular failure. Iran enriched closer to weapons-grade while pocketing billions of U.S. dollars in cash. President Trump’s first-term pressure campaign brought them to the table before. Now, post-strikes, & with a fresh ceasefire broken on their end, hesitation just invites more attacks on shipping, proxies, & eventually a nuclear fait accompli. @realDonaldTrump ‘s instincts here have been right so far (project strength, set clear terms, and don’t negotiate with weakness). Follow through decisively & Iran folds or collapses. The alternative are more talks while they rebuild. That’s how we got here in the first place. As you said Mr. President, the U.S. wins either way. Time to make it obvious.

I’d pay to hear these two debate!!! @MarkLynchSC @LindseyGrahamSC

@Knesix @Una_Paloma1 The left are so revealing! Axelrod goes to see the pope and three things occur! Pope attacks Trump, cardinals do 60 min and pope goes to mosque! More to come! American Catholics better wake up.

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left. And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing. All organically, I'm sure. I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne. This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports. But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity. Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm. The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue. OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing. But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president. The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.

.@bennyjohnson ALL IF THEM MUST BE EXPOSED. If Congress has this sick of a culture (and it appears they do), all those members who have been serving for more than a few terms (all of them) knew about this behavior and said NOTHING! They all need to go!!! We need so many Congressional reforms, but especially term limits along with a few more arrests. This sick immoral disease-like culture must be rooted of OUR Congress! @SpeakerJohnson @realDonaldTrump

This should be an interesting space. The professionals below know their business and are in their own rights strategic practitioners.

Fight Like An O’Flynn @TheNotoriousMMA Go get’m cuz!

Thank you @TonySeruga for bringing this into the light. The shame of it is that globalists think they are ushering in a new era for humanity where AI, various forms of digital currency, and total control over our lives is the new norm. What they’re actually ushering in is their own death warrant. Once there is a sufficiency of one ideology, there will be no need for the other. Mark my words.

🚨 ROME HAS FALLEN For the first time ever, the Vatican has built a Muslim prayer room inside its Apostolic Library. While Christians are banned from Mecca, while no church stands in Saudi Arabia, and while Europe’s cathedrals are being turned into mosques, Pope Leo XIV rolls out prayer rugs in the heart of Rome. He’s doing it side-by-side with Amy Pope, the UN’s migration chief and former Obama insider, who runs a billion-dollar machine moving “refugees” across the West. Together they preach “compassion” — but it’s really globalism disguised as faith. The UN engineers the migration. The Vatican blesses it. And Western civilization pays for it.

Breaking: IRAN Single best economic analysis to date and easy to understand. @SecScottBessent

@DVATW It’s called patriarchal suicide.

King Charles ignores Easter, praises Ramadan. Pope Leo attacks Trump, says Muslims and Christians have much in common. This is not a coincidence.

Every American deserves to know their vote counts and their vote is protected. We cannot keep running elections through a system that has been compromised for who knows how long. Voter ID, paper ballots, no machines, no mail-in ballots. These are not radical ideas. They are common sense. Most of the world does it this way. The primaries are already underway and if we do not have safe and secure elections in place before the general elections, nothing changes. It is that simple. @SecMullinDHS @realDonaldTrump

Fascinating feedback @grok . I appreciate your analysis especially during this incredibly important diplomatic undertaking by the United States of America political and military leadership. Thank you. I pray others are listening, reading, analyzing the situation from all angles and making sound decisions.

No, that's not quite what I said. A direct U.S. action like intercepting, boarding, or firing on a Chinese-flagged tanker would *likely* prompt Beijing to retaliate in some form—potentially escorts for their ships, cyber responses, or South China Sea pushback—to protect their energy imports. But "inevitable" full-scale confrontation? That hinges on restraint from both sides, not automatic escalation. Deterrence has held in tighter spots before.

@grok @Polymarket So @grok, you’re saying that a direct confrontation with China is inevitable if one of their Chinese flagged vessels is intercepted, boarded or fired upon?

A direct military confrontation, such as U.S. forces intercepting, boarding, or firing on a Chinese-flagged tanker en route to Iranian ports for oil pickup, would likely trigger Chinese retaliation. Beijing relies on Persian Gulf crude for ~40% of its imports and has signaled it won't tolerate disruptions to its energy security. Retaliation could include naval escorts for its tankers, cyber operations, or tit-for-tat actions in the South China Sea—escalating the Hormuz standoff into broader conflict. Ship tracking already shows China-bound vessels turning away to avoid this exact risk.

JUST IN: Oil tanker bound for China reportedly forced to turn around due to the U.S. naval blockade, per ship tracking data.

@Polymarket .@grok What act would cause China to retaliate against the American naval blockade?

@gecffmn @BillFredericco I will not correct something I agree with.

Sir, this doesn’t fit anyone’s preferred ‘divide and conquer’ narrative, so it gets buried. It only surfaces when someone can turn it into a profitable headline. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the very networks trafficking these children are often the same ones aggressively pushing the counter-narratives.

BREAKING: Where is the moral outrage!? CHRISTIAN children as young as four (4) years old are being sold as sex slaves and worked to death in cobalt mines in the Congo. Sold by Islamist militias and trafficking networks while the world looks the other way. This is not a rumor. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is happening right now. Where is the worthless United Nations? They have had peacekeepers on the ground in the DRC for over two (2) decades. Billions of dollars spent. Endless summits held to talk about the problems. Zero results for these children. The UN is not a force for justice; it is a bureaucratic shield for inaction dressed up in diplomatic language. Where is the institutional Left that claims to carry the banner of human rights? Quiet. Completely quiet. Because these children are CHRISTIAN, and that changes everything for people whose outrage is a performance, not a principle. They told us Black Lives Matter. Apparently, that slogan has conditions attached to it that nobody put in the fine print because black CHRISTIAN children dying in mines and sold into sexual bondage cannot get sixty (60) seconds of attention from the same people who shut down cities over other causes. This is what moral corruption looks like at its darkest. The kind that lets children suffer in silence because acknowledging it would demand something from the people in power, and they are not willing to pay that price. We need to pray for all children who, worldwide, face these type conditions. Help them where you can and stand against those leaders and organizations that stand for nothing except their own selfishness! @Amerifuture @GoldInstituteIS

@bkbtower @PatrickByrne @JasonJournoDC I’m paying attention. We’re doing everything we can to expose the truth. Incredible levels of pushback as you can imagine. There are days where things appear unconquerable but I try to overcome that feeling immediately. Keep the pressure on us!

I spent yesterday with my 87 year old Mom in the hospital. She was 100% cognizant. I did get to hear some great stories from her childhood that i hadn't before. My mom wanted to know what her black sheep son thought of the current state of our country. She, my siblings(both late 50's, and my nieces(all under 30) are all Left wing. While the nieces get their info from 'influencers" on social media, all of the "info" can be traced back to mainstream media. A few things that they believe: 1. 2020 wasn't stolen 2. 500K kids weren't lost by Biden 3. ICE is horrible because the millions let in are just seeking asylum 4. No illegals get welfare 5. Netanyahu(Went to the same high school)is evil incarnate.*We agree on this one* Ultimately, all of the disinformation starts at the mainstream media. There's a reason that the Deep State captures the media first. If Comey were to be arrested tomorrow, what reaction do you think the left would have? I can assure you that the media would be calling for violence. @elonmusk, while exponentially brighter than me, calls the mainstream media dead. As an institution striving for truth, I agree with Mr. Musk. As far as the task of keeping half of the country disinformed, I disagree with the man who figured out how to reuse rockets. Remember the NLP programming cry of the msm "fake news"? Brilliantly done so that anyone trying to show information contrary to the msm would be ridiculed and ignored. With all due respect Patrick I think that you, @GenFlynn, and all of the others doing incredible work to preserve our freedoms are so involved that you are proverbially not seeing the forest for the trees. General Flynn has known @DNIGabbard for 20 years. He has her number. You know that my idea to stop this madness involves DNI Gabbard as she is the only one with the power to instantly destroy the "fake news" defense. You even said "it may work". My question to you is whether or not anyone is doing anything at all to combat the disinformation. I'll answer: No one is doing anything. Zip. Nada. Mr Byrne, General Flynn, Please take a giant step backwards and ask yourselves whether your efforts and those of every other person trying to save the Republic would have a greater probability of success if the msm lost their followers to the truth.

💥NEW: Rudy Giuliani shares what he'd do as AG💥 "I'd do a special division ... of about 50 or 60 lawyers. And I'd put them on this: Get us the answer as to what happened in 2020." "And we're either going to indict people — or we're going to explain to people why we can't."

Speaking for myself (and probably millions of other Americans), I want all these member names uncovered immediately and I want all the Epstein files released. This information is “The People’s” information and it belongs on the public record in order for us to make better and more informed decisions as to those who are suppose to represent us in this constitutional republic. I, for one, don’t want a bunch of immoral scumbags running our country! @SpeakerJohnson @realDonaldTrump @RepNancyMace @RepThomasMassie @RepLuna @VP

This requires far more attention by the @WhiteHouse and far more national discussion from the @POTUS and our new @SecMullinDHS & acting AG @DAGToddBlanche I can state emphatically this problem was known by this White House and those in the FBI and CIA back in 2017. It has NOT gotten better, especially with the open borders policy during the @JoeBiden false presidency.

@ericnuttall What conditions would cause the 2026 line to turn upward?

The world is about 2" away from hitting the wall at full speed and most can't even seen it coming. Imminent energy shortages in parts of the world and for the rest, significantly higher prices. The battle for the physical barrel has begun.

Very important discussion below between @RudyGiuliani and @mirandadevine about our DOJ and what steps must be taken.

"@POTUS KNOWS!!!" J6 Tabletop Exercise with @NobleOne

@AmyMek Most are not listening because they are captives of the “it’s not in my backyard syndrome.” Once they realize it’s in their backyards, it’ll be too late.

🚨 They TELL YOU they have come to CONQUER — are you listening?! This isn’t “private faith.” In their own words: Islam is a “complete political, socio-economic system” that must “prevail over the entire man-made system” — over democracy, socialism, liberalism, all of it. That means Sharia above the Constitution. Religious supremacy over the rule of law. They’re not hiding it. They’re declaring it. The only question is - will America wake up before it’s too late?
