According to Trump, vote-by-mail is cheating when a busy mom of three kids with two jobs uses it, but perfectly fine when he uses it himself. His polling location is less than a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago. His decision to vote by mail shows just how hypocritical his lies about fraud and cheating truly are. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

MAGA aren’t drawn to Trump because he is smart, competent, or “Christian”. They are drawn to him because he tells uneducated, insecure, angry people that their stupidity, ignorance, and racism are actually strengths.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran wants to negotiate with Vance, not Witkoff or Kushner Tehran passed word through back-channels that it doesn't trust Witkoff or Kushner. Can you blame them? These were the two guys sitting across the table from Iranian diplomats in Geneva days before the war started, shaking hands and talking peace while the U.S. and Israel quietly moved strike assets into position. Iran walked out of those talks and into a bombing campaign. That kind of betrayal doesn't get forgotten. Vance is different in their eyes. The vice president who was described as "less enthusiastic" about the war is now the person the enemy specifically wants at the table. Iran sees what everyone else sees: Vance built his career opposing exactly this kind of conflict, and that makes him the most credible American to deliver a deal both sides can live with. Trump says everyone on his team is involved. But Iran just told him which card to play, and it happens to be the one that signals Washington is serious about ending this rather than running the same playbook that got them bombed last time.

Iran must dismantle its nuclear facilities, end uranium enrichment, grant IAEA full access, and abandon regional proxies. Source: @NicoleGrajewski

Doctors are manually operating ventilators in order to keep babies alive in Cuba. The U.S. is laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel, power is out, leaving hospitals without electricity. Dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others will die. This’s a crime against humanity.

BREAKING: “TOUGH SPOT” — Trump’s former Defense Secretary reveals what’s really happening in the Iran War. In a jaw-dropping reality check, Donald Trump’s own former Defense Secretary just blew the whistle on the chaos unfolding behind this reckless war—and it’s worse than anyone thought. Retired General Jim Mattis didn’t sugarcoat it: America is “in a tough spot” with “not a lot of options.” Translation? This war has spiraled into a strategic nightmare with no clear path forward. Even more alarming, Mattis warned that if Trump abruptly ends the conflict now, it could hand control of the Strait of Hormuz—one of the most critical oil chokepoints on Earth—straight to Iran. That’s the narrow passage where roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows. The result? A potential global economic chokehold, where Iran could effectively “tax” international shipping and send prices skyrocketing. So let’s get this straight. Trump launched a massive military escalation with no clear objective. Now he’s pausing strikes after weeks of destruction. And his own former Pentagon chief is admitting there’s no good outcome. That’s not strength. That’s reckless improvisation with global consequences. Meanwhile, oil prices have been swinging wildly—spiking near $120 a barrel before dropping again—leaving American families and businesses stuck in the crossfire of Trump’s erratic decision-making. And here’s the kicker: even after all the bombs dropped, Mattis says it hasn’t achieved any meaningful strategic gains. None. Because, as he bluntly put it, air power alone has never changed a regime. In other words, all this destruction—and for what? No victory. No stability. No plan. Just more uncertainty, higher costs, and a world pushed closer to the brink. This isn’t leadership—it’s a dangerous gamble that’s backfiring in real time. And now even Trump’s own former senior military advisor is sounding the alarm. Please like and share to spread the news!

This is the pastor Pete Hegseth brought into the Pentagon during working hours to lead a prayer service. Will Hegseth disavow him now? Of course not, because Hegseth is a fanatical Christian nationalist.

This is objectively extraordinary: x.com/clashreport/st… Jake Sullivan, one of the most senior former U.S. officials, says that the U.S. is in a war aimed solely at destroying Iran, one of humanity's oldest civilizations, against the U.S.'s own interests, at the behest of Israel, a 76-year-old state. Listen to the video: he says that Israel's objective in the war "is just break Iran -cause chaos," basically destroy the country, "because as far as they’re concerned, a broken Iran is less of a threat to Israel." Which he says is not in the US's interests "because a broken Iran means a broken global economy, as they continue to threaten the Straits of Hormuz. It means a potential refugee flow, like we saw after the war in Syria into Europe." He also says the Trump administration cannot answer what their own objective is in the war "because they don't know why they're there in the first place," implying that they're there mainly at the behest of Israel (otherwise they'd be able to articulate at least one reason). The curse of the "former official" strikes again... This is the same Jake Sullivan who, as National Security Advisor, oversaw the unconditional U.S. support for Israel's destruction of Gaza. Apparently breaking a people at the behest of Israel is only bad when a different administration does it...

This makes me increasingly convinced the US is heading for dictatorship. If figures linked to Trump are so outrageously engaged in insider trading, they know they could end up in prison for a very long time. Unless they're convinced something will make sure that'll never happen

Terrifying revelation. Trump is fabricating fake peace talks just to keep the stock market stable while he secretly rushes thousands of Airborne troops and Marines into position for a massive ground invasion of Iran. There was never any real plan.

BREAKING. The United States Treasury’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025 report $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities. That is a negative net position of $41.72 trillion. And that number excludes Social Security and Medicare, which CBO projects add another $50 to $70 trillion in unfunded obligations over 30 years. Steve Hanke and David Walker wrote in Fortune on March 23 that these numbers constitute insolvency under any standard accounting framework. The Treasury has not used that word. No sovereign government that issues its own reserve currency calls itself insolvent. But the numbers are the Treasury’s own. They are published on Treasury.gov. They are audited. And they show a government whose liabilities exceed its assets by a ratio of nearly 8 to 1. Now layer the war on top. Annual interest on the national debt reached $1.22 trillion in fiscal year 2025. That is more than the defence budget. More than Medicare. The war supplemental request for the Iran conflict exceeds $200 billion. The Federal Reserve cannot cut rates because Hormuz-driven energy inflation has pushed PCE to 2.7 percent and rising. Every basis point the Fed holds is a basis point that compounds against $39 trillion in gross debt. The war that was supposed to last weeks is now costing hundreds of billions while the borrowing cost of financing it rises with every barrel of oil that does not transit the strait. The arithmetic is circular and accelerating. The war spikes energy prices. Energy prices spike inflation. Inflation prevents rate cuts. Higher rates increase the cost of servicing $39 trillion in debt. Higher debt service costs expand the deficit. The expanded deficit requires more borrowing. The borrowing occurs at higher rates because the war is still running. The circle has no exit as long as the strait is closed. Japan is watching from the other side of the carry trade. Life insurers hold $5 trillion in foreign assets, heavily weighted toward US Treasuries. The BOJ is tightening. The 10-year JGB hit 2.278 percent. If Japanese institutions begin repatriating, the largest marginal buyer of American debt becomes a seller at the exact moment the US needs to borrow $200 billion more for the war. The yuan is entering the gap. Every tanker that pays $2 million in yuan at the IRGC toll booth is a transaction that does not require dollar settlement. Every bilateral deal between Russia and China in rubles and yuan is a trade flow that does not pass through SWIFT. Intra-BRICS trade reached $500 billion in 2025 with over half settled in local currencies. The dollar’s share of global reserves has fallen from 72 percent in 2000 to 56.9 percent. The Hormuz toll booth is not just blocking molecules. It is demonstrating in real time that global energy can settle without the dollar. And the demonstration occurs while the dollar’s issuer publishes financial statements showing $41.72 trillion in net liabilities. The Treasury is not insolvent. A sovereign that prints its own reserve currency can always meet its obligations. But the mechanism for meeting those obligations, borrowing at ever-higher rates, printing when borrowing becomes untenable, inflating when printing becomes visible, has a cost. That cost is measured in purchasing power, in credibility, and in the willingness of foreign holders to continue financing a government whose own statements show liabilities eight times its assets while fighting a war it cannot afford to win or afford to lose. The molecules are trapped behind the strait. The fiscal credibility is trapped behind the numbers. And the numbers are the Treasury’s own. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

From @politico: “Several people close to the White House said they were baffled by the president’s remarks.”
Jennifer Jacobs@JenniferJJacobs

NEWS from Oval - Trump told us: "We've won this. This war has been won." He said Iran gave the US an oil- and gas-related “gift" that showed him "we're dealing with the right people.” It's "related to the flow, to the Strait," he told me. "It was a very significant prize, and they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it," he told @edokeefe. Trump: "We have, really, regime change. You know, this is a change in the regime. Because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with, that created all those problems." Trump said @VP Vance, @SecRubio, @JaredKushner and @SEPeaceMissions Steve Witkoff currently doing negotiations with Iran. Hegseth told us: "We see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs." At that, Trump said two people were "quite disappointed" when the president said the conflict could be settled soon: Pete Hegseth and Dan Caine.
