You can't make this up: Exactly 23 days into the Iran War, and our "Conflict Playbook" is literally tracking down to the day. President Trump has just announced peace talks between the US and Iran are ongoing, with Step #9 of our playbook imminent. While many called for World War 3, we called for a 2-4 week conflict, and we are right in the middle of that timeline. The S&P 500 just swung $3 TRILLION in market cap, oil prices are below $89/barrel, gold is up +$300/oz in hours, and bonds are rebounding. As we have seen endlessly over the last 12 months, objective investors are winning the most in this market. While there will be much more volatility, it appears that Step #9 and #10 of our playbook are imminent. Keep following our playbook.

@GuntherEagleman He’s addressing the financial markets. Nothing else.

🚨TRUMP WINS AGAIN!

@LauraLoomer You should simply book a seat in business class if you are that bothered by a baby.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@tomselliott @JavierBlas More likely than not, the dumbest declared "excursion"

@JavierBlas potentially the dumbest war in human history

Iran responds to Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum: “… the critical infrastructure, energy infrastructure, and oil facilities throughout the region will be considered legitimate targets and will be destroyed…”

@bennyjohnson His logic is transitory, like his predecessor.

President Trump declares Iran dead, says Democrats are now America’s “greatest enemy”.

@AmyMek @DragonSword778 Utah will not wake up until Temple Square is occupied.

SHARIA UTAH: ANOTHER RED STATE FALLS TO ISLAM Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall turned historic City Hall into a mosque for Ramadan. Proof from her official March 2026 SLC Community Iftar event: Program card (with city seal) welcomes Mayor Erin Mendenhall & Police Chief Brian Redd (in uniform), highlights the Sheikh’s Call to Prayer by Sheikh Ali Yussuf, framed in an Islamic arch, and ends with “Ramadan Mubarak.” The mayor in a full blue hijab (“Hello, my name is Erin”), speaking at the mic inside City Hall. Group photos: her arm-in-arm with women in hijabs/abayas under historic portraits. Live Adhan (call to prayer) performed under the “OFFICE OF THE MAYOR” arch, attendees breaking fast at tables. Floor sign: “Prayer room with the qibla” — Arabic “القبلة” + arrow to Mecca, converting government space to Islamic prayer direction. Iranian women die fighting forced hijabs and Sharia oppression, yet our mayor dons one at an official event and opens City Hall for prayers, adhan, and qibla. Reciprocity? Name one Iranian council hosting Easter with officials wearing crosses and Christians praying inside government halls. It doesn’t exist. This is one-way surrender in Utah, deepest red state: GOP trifecta, R+13, Republican every presidential vote since 1968, Trump landslide 2024, conservative core. Mayor Mendenhall & Chief Redd: Do you support Islam or Freedom, because you can not have both! Utah — wake up. Demand separation of mosque and state. Before tolerance becomes takeover.

petergrandich.com/why-god/ Just this past week, I relived the worse feeling I ever experienced, the loss of my absolute best friend and the pain that became so acute shortly afterwards, that I almost took my own life. I would also learn that one of the most “people-person” I ever knew, took his own life. I then looked at what is happening in the world and asked, “Why God?” petergrandich.com/why-god/

@j_fishback You are subjected to less gas at Taco Bell.

I was denied entry to Mar-a-Lago tonight for a dinner I was invited to last month. I was told it was over my “criticism of Israel and the Iran war.” Next stop: Taco Bell.

@GuntherEagleman Including the Department of War?

I’ll let you in on a little secret… Our government is corrupt.

@mtgreenee Agree. 65 should be mandatory retirement age for all office holders.

This is how all the boomers holding office right now are governing our country. 🤦‍♀️ There are so many great boomers except the ones clinging to power and destroying our future. Retire and live happily ever after but stop ruining America!!!

RIP Chuck Norris. A legend.

@glennbeck Wishful thinking Glenn.

After I saw President Trump call out Israel for striking the South Pars gas field, something clicked for me. He didn't join Israel's war with Iran because he was duped. He stepped in to control the OUTCOME of the war.

@adamtaggart Good interview. Thank you for having Ryan on again in such a timely manner. A bit cynical but, how about “wagflation” as continued covfefe and tail risk, combined, push prices higher.
