Mike Pompeo has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know.

Who would you pick if you had to listen to one CFB Play-By-Play Announcer the rest of your life?

🚨 WOW! The White House just DEMOLISHED former Sec. of State Mike Pompeo after he slammed President Trump's Iran negotiations STEVEN CHEUNG, WH: "Mike Pompeo has no idea what the f*ck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know." Cheung does NOT hold back!

There is a lot of noise surrounding the potential US/Iran deal. Here’s what the rumors are so far: - Iran has agreed to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Iran currently has 400 kg of highly enriched uranium. Enough for 11 nuclear bombs. - The US would begin a phased unfreezing of Iran’s $6b to $30b in cash. - The Strait of Hormuz will open up. - Iran won’t charge a penny for ships to pass through. No $2m toll fee. - The US agrees to relieve some of the sanctions. - War ENDS on all fronts with Lebanon. - US forces near Iran to withdraw. - 30 to 60 days to finalize the nuclear deal. If true, that’s a massive victory for the President. Here are the winners and losers. Winners: 1. American people. Oil prices will likely fall. Shipping insurance costs drop. Inflation pressure eases. 2. The President 3. Global markets. 4. Stock market. 5. Gulf states. Temporary tension eliminated. I have them as both winners and losers. 6. IRGC gains legitimacy. They’re not Venezuela. Whether anyone likes it or not. Including myself. 7. China is a major winner. The Strait of Hormuz hurt them the most. They can spin this to their people that the deal got done after the President left China. 8. Russia relies on Iran being a bit more stable. 9. NATO nations were starting to worry. They were pansies shivering about having to help the US. (They’re also big losers in my eyes) Losers: 1. Iranian people. No one knows what the IRGC will do after this deal to their own people. Their media outlets will say they beat America. That message will 100% be pushed. The Iranian people will be under even more scrutiny by the IRGC. 2. Obama’s administration. This sounds like a much stronger deal than Obama’s administration made. 3. Netanyahu. He wanted regime change or collapse for his legacy, but Trump wasn’t on the same page at the end. 4. NATO was exposed. They showed they don’t have America’s back if shit were to hit the fan. Terrible moment for them. 5. Reza Pahlavi. Another year of not being able to help his people become free. This point will lead to more memes by the RP loyalists but it’s the truth. 6. Gulf states. The IRGC still controls a neighbor capable of firing rockets at surrounding Gulf nations. 7. Iranian proxies and non state actors. Hezbollah, Houthis, and Shia militias will not receive the same funding flow if sanctions are removed under limitations tied to the agreement. 8. Defense contractors and war hawks. They wanted this thing to continue so they could land massive contracts. I’m sure they’re not happy. 9. Oil producers benefiting from high prices. 10. Political extremists on both sides. Those who wanted to see the President lose (woke right) and those pushing for nuclear war. 11. Democrats. They desperately needed this to continue heading into the midterms. They will HATE this deal. Don’t worry, they’ll still find a way to blame Trump. But independents won’t fall for the BS. Democrats and the woke right will follow suit, but not reasonable independents who can see through the nonsense. I predicted this would be done before June 14th. Lots of people pushed back. Obviously, it’s not done yet, and anything can happen, especially when dealing with Iran, but if the President pulls this off, the news outlets, pundits, and influencers will move on to the next issue after they’re done crying nonstop. The greatest 60 days of positive distractions are around the corner. President Trump’s birthday: June 14th US 250 year anniversary: July 4th World Cup: June 11th to July 19th The world will move on, and the President can focus on driving results toward the midterms, Cuba, affordability and other issues. Love him or hate him, he continues to show how fluid his mind is and that he can change his approach depending on whether things do or don’t go his way. Future Looks Bright.

President Donald Trump weighs in on the Abdul Carter post:

During the NFL draft, Abdul Carter (@1NCRDB1) wore an Islamic political chain while his family showed up in full burqas. Funny how Abdul loves shoving his religion and politics down America’s throat but melts down when his teammate Jackson Dart (@JaxsonDart) attends a Trump rally. The left are such hypocrites.

This is why everything is locked behind plexiglass. And it’s unfixable.

The CIA tried to remove a sitting United States President. The evidence has been released. The issue is no longer a matter of opinion or debate. Now, watch the silence. The CIA tried to remove a President.

The Senate GOP just proved they’re nothing but a pack of spineless, self-serving cowards who care more about protecting their establishment club than saving the damn country. Ken Paxton played them like a fiddle. He offered to step aside if they’d simply nuke the filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act ... the single most important election integrity bill on the table. He handed John Cornyn the rope. The Senate refused to pull it. They could’ve whipped the usual RINO suspects ... Collins, Murkowski, Curtis, McConnell ... bent the rules, and forced the bill onto Trump’s desk. Instead they sat on their hands like the gutless wonders they are. When Trump backed the fighter Paxton and let Cornyn twist, these clowns threw a full-blown tantrum and said “screw your border security and ICE funding.” Then they bailed early for vacation. Actively spiting the American people. Pure, unadulterated betrayal. And the woke right isn’t off the hook either. MTG ran straight to Alex Jones screaming that Thomas Massie’s loss in KY-4 was “rigged and stolen.” The actual numbers laugh in her face: Gallrein crushed it by nearly 10 points. Even if you burn every absentee ballot, Gallrein still wins by 7,850 votes. The math doesn’t lie. The emotional graphics and conspiracy cope sure as hell do. Here’s the brutal truth: We can’t spend years screaming about real election corruption and then cheapen the entire fight with sloppy, math-free meltdowns every time our guy loses. That’s not resistance ... that’s self-sabotage and amateur hour on steroids. The Senate showed its ass. Parts of the movement just showed they can’t count. Time to grow a spine, demand receipts, and stop torching our own credibility. The country is watching. (article below)

Once the American people experience an economy WITHOUT a Federal Reserve — no inflation, no income tax, cheap energy, rising wages, dividend checks — they are NEVER going to want to go back. Just like people are now questioning why they were ever forced to take a COVID vaccine — they are going to ask: why did we ever allow a private bank to control our currency? Why didn't we stop this sooner?

Some people STILL don’t understand how the game is actually played. Tulsi did exactly what she came to do. Now they roll out the usual Kabuki theater exit on “cue”… While Trump drops the next ACTING DNI — hand-picked, zero congressional approval required. Positioned to hammer the lob Tulsi just laid up for them. Same move Blanche made after Bondi. Timeline just kicked into another gear. Pay attention

🚨 JUST IN: When CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Havana, Cuba recently, he brought a paramilitary operator who helped KILL Cuban personnel during the Maduro raid — and Ratcliffe *made a point* of introducing him that way, per CBS Talk about sending a message! 🔥 32 Cuban military and police were killed during Trump's Maduro raid "The presence of a paramilitary officer who was involved in capturing a key partner of the Cuban government just months earlier may have been intended to send a signal," CBS reports DOWN WITH COMMUNISM! 🇺🇸🇨🇺

⚡️Children remember the moments when the family becomes fully alive. That is the core. Vacation is just the common vessel. A child does not encode childhood as a spreadsheet of responsible parenting. They encode atmosphere. They remember the motel pool, the gas station stop, the smell of sunscreen, the weird restaurant, the long drive, the sunset, the parents laughing differently, the feeling that normal life cracked open and something larger appeared. That is why ages 5 to 10 hit so hard. The child is old enough to form durable narrative memory and young enough for the world to remain enchanted. Parents still feel mythic. A beach, cabin, lake, theme park, road trip, or even a cheap rented house can become sacred geography. The real mechanism is interruption of routine plus emotional safety. Ordinary life teaches stability. Trips create myth. The family leaves the repeating loop of school, work, chores, screens, exhaustion, and time pressure. For a few days, the child experiences parents outside their normal roles. Mom and dad are no longer just managers of homework, food, discipline, bedtime, and logistics. They become companions inside an adventure. That imprints. The money matters far less than parents think. Luxury is mostly adult vanity. Children remember intensity, freedom, attention, surprise, and togetherness. A $200 trip can beat a $10,000 trip if the child feels wonder and the parents are emotionally present. Many adults are starved because their childhood had no sacred interruptions. Everything was duty, stress, survival, noise, pressure, or emotional absence. No mythic family scenes. No private homeland in memory. No recurring proof that life could be warm and strange and alive. That matters for the adult psyche. People draw from childhood memories during loneliness, fear, ambition, loss, and love. Those memories become inner architecture. Deepest compression: a good childhood is not built only by protection. It is built by unforgettable shared worlds. Take the kid somewhere. Break the loop. Make the ordinary world disappear for a few days. That becomes part of them forever.

@aj_inapi I’m referring to the endless war drivel.

@KingClubs Were you referring to Ron Paul or me?

Ron Paul's argument reflects a long-standing libertarian view: America’s foreign engagements have become an unsustainable empire that drains resources, fuels inflation, and raises costs for everyday Americans. His solution is to “retire the empire gracefully” by ending wars, closing overseas bases, and bringing troops home. He argues President Trump chose instead to prolong it, provoking the wrong enemies and pulling the U.S. deeper into economic strain. That message appeals to people exhausted by endless wars, rising debt, and economic pressure. But allowing that mindset to become mainstream would be a serious mistake, especially for younger Americans. The world does not run on cooperation and good intentions alone. International politics is driven by power competition. Nations aggressively pursue their own interests, whether people want to acknowledge it or not. Ignoring geopolitics does not make it disappear. It simply leaves you vulnerable to forces that will eventually hit your wallet, job prospects, energy costs, and national security. WHY RETREAT IS NOT THE ANSWER: A sudden withdrawal from global influence creates power vacuums that countries like China, Russia, and Iran are ready to fill. Secure trade routes, energy flows, technological dominance, and supply chain stability do not maintain themselves. They are protected through leverage, strategy, and presence. Pull back too far, and the consequences are real: - Higher energy prices - Disrupted supply chains - Lost manufacturing leverage - Strategic dependence on rivals - Vulnerability in critical sectors like semiconductors, rare earth minerals, and global shipping chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz The economic pain Ron Paul warns about does not disappear through isolation. In many cases, it gets worse when adversaries exploit the vacuum left BEHIND. Younger generations especially need to understand this. Their future cost of living, job market, energy security, and economic opportunities are directly tied to geopolitics. Foreign policy is not some distant issue happening “over there.” It shapes globalization, trade, manufacturing, technology, energy markets, and the balance of power that determines economic stability. This is exactly why a resource like "Foreign Policy is Survival" matters. The ebook breaks geopolitics down into practical, understandable terms without academic jargon or partisan nonsense. It explains: - Power competition between nations - Energy and resource control - Global trade and supply chains - Economic leverage and dependency - Technology as a strategic weapon - Information warfare and narrative control - The shifting global balance of power and America’s role in it After reading it, people will better understand: - Why foreign policy affects their daily life - How globalization created both prosperity and dangerous dependencies - Why nations continue competing in an interconnected world - Why the current global system is entering a period of instability and transition The book is written for ordinary people, especially younger Americans who want to understand how the world actually works without needing a political science degree. Its purpose is simple: to help people think clearly about the systems shaping their future. BECAUSE FOREIGN POLICY IS SURVIVAL. It directly impacts your economy, your opportunities, your security, and the kind of world your generation will inherit. Ron Paul is right that overreach has costs. But the answer is not retreating into isolation and hoping the world becomes peaceful on its own. The answer is informed, strategic engagement rooted in reality and an understanding of how power actually works. Check out my pinned post and grab a copy.

17 million for the President's Choice you say?

@AwakenedOutlaw @drawandstrike I wouldn’t count on it.

Tulsi is gonna deliver some bangers on her way out.

@Whiplash437 You mentioned United Nations so hell no

Saudi channel Al Arabiya reported on a draft framework agreement between Iran and the United States that is currently awaiting approval by both sides and includes nine clauses: 1. An immediate, comprehensive, and unconditional ceasefire on all fronts 2. A commitment to refrain from attacking military, civilian, or economic infrastructure 3. A halt to military operations and an end to the media war between the countries 4. Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and non-interference in internal affairs 5. Guaranteeing freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Arabian Sea 6. Establishing a joint mechanism for monitoring and resolving disputes 7. Beginning negotiations on the remaining disputed issues within 7 days 8. A gradual lifting of American sanctions in exchange for Iran’s commitment to the terms of the agreement 9. Compliance with international law and the United Nations

Ken Paxton has surged to a 21-point lead over John Cornyn in the Texas Primary Runoff. You're next, Thune.
