How come they all have the exact same head shot from the exact same photo shoot? Did they all get these professional photos taken together? Or just another coincidence I'm sure.



🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump: "We are totally loaded up; we are much more powerful than we were before the ceasefire. We used the ceasefire to restock, and they have probably done a little restocking."








🇺🇸 The U.S. is borrowing at historic rates to fund a war whose real bill hasn't arrived yet. The U.S. posted a $164 billion deficit in March alone. Adjust for shifted benefit payments and the real number was $250 billion. Through the first 6 months of fiscal 2026, the total hole is $1.17 trillion, the 3rd worst first-half deficit in American history. The other two were COVID and 2008. Here's what makes that number genuinely alarming rather than just large. Military outlays in March were only up 3% year over year. The Iran war hasn't meaningfully hit the federal ledger yet. The carrier deployments, the munitions burn rate, the naval blockade, the mine-clearing operations in the Strait... none of it has fully landed. It's coming. Layer on top of that oil approaching triple digits feeding into every government contract and logistics operation, a strategic reserve that costs money to replenish, and tax receipts getting crushed by an economic slowdown. Trump's own economic adviser Steve Moore warned this weekend that without securing the Strait immediately the whole world economy could tip into recession. $1.17 trillion is the first-half bill. The second half hasn't started. @KobeissiLetter
