FOX NEWS: Shipping data shows that just 10 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, less than 10% of what normally goes through. When you say the strait is open, what do you mean?
TRUMP: Uh, it's open if people want to go through it. We're coming up with great alternatives, including Texas and Alaska
@mehdirhasan Yeah, sure. "Football's coming home" Mehdi. To Madrid. It's not all grim. Boys down the Horse and Hound will get to watch final on TV. It would be insane to break from such a grand losing tradition. Unthinkable even. It's a Spain -Argentina final. And that's just the way it is.
What a bizarre way for France’s brilliant World Cup to come to an end.
What on earth happened?
Anyways, I guess it’s England vs Spain on Sunday then 😉🤞🏽🏴
@MickMoloney23@RTEsport A clueless bunch. You mention RTÊ, imagine the round-table discussion that led to the hiring of Kelly and Doyle. Only the best for RTÉ. Nobody I know is paying that licence.
@ODubhedir@RTEsport They literally didnt analyse one bit of good play from Spain who put in the performance of the tournament and totally nullified the french attack but they were unable to show us how. Mother of god no wonder we cant be arsed paying our TV licence. Have to do the analysis myself
@RTEsport RTÉ studio "analysis", pre and post match, is shockingly bad. Nobody on the panel, and especially host Hurley, know any of the Spanish players despite them playing for Europe's largest clubs, including Barcelona and Real Madrid. More panel chat about England than France or Spain.
Full Time: 🇫🇷 0-2 🇪🇸
Spain takes out France in Texas and will now await Argentina or England in the World Cup Final.

Spain double their lead; a quick one-two between Poro and Olmo puts the right back in on goal and he makes no mistake

US President Donald Trump has stepped back from a proposal to charge a 20% fee to guard the Strait of Hormuz as part of the conflict with Iran, saying he would instead seek investment deals with Gulf states rte.ie/news/middle-ea…
@RobertKennedyJr MAGA cultists dropping like flies these days. Has Trump asked FBI to check the whereabouts of notorious "Pope slayer" and coach "hopper" JD Vance?
In November 2019, I ran into Senator Lindsey Graham in the Capitol Rotunda while I was giving a speech during a demonstration for clean water. Although we stood on opposite sides of the political spectrum at the time, he invited me into his office and made me a cup of coffee.
He was a fierce advocate for conservative values, but he never lost his Southern gentility.
His passing is a significant loss for the American people. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, staff, and the people of South Carolina.
@piersmorgan@HKane Absolutely. Virtually all the players on the England team qualified to play for countries they were born in or had family ties to under "granny rule". Let's not forget what an achievement it would be for England to win WC managed by the most patriotic of Germans Thomas Tuchel.
England are two wins away from being crowned football World Champions in America, just days after the U.S. celebrated 250 years of kicking us out. If that doesn’t inspire @HKane and his team to glory, nothing will. Come on lads, do it for King George III.
Tonight, Iran will be blown to pieces.
Lindsey Graham would be so happy.
It’s sad that we lost one of the only Senators who actually understands the threat of Islam.
That’s something I always respected about Senator Graham.
@SportsUncensrd@piersmorgan Never quite understood why McCarthy, born, educated and raised in England, didn't opt to play for England. Likewise, Roy Keane never understood why English Mick didn't wear the Three Lions shirt either.
🤝🏴 “Tuchel’s playing down the England nationalism!”
🌟 “Jude Bellingham is omnipotent… he ain’t leaving him out the team!”
Mick McCarthy reacts to the Bellingham vs Tuchel drama and why both sides have a point.

I asked President Trump who exactly is going to reimburse the United States after he said America was “going to get paid for guarding” the Strait of Hormuz.
@ConorPKav@DavQuinn@Independent The Gardaí look incompetent, or maybe it's a lack of transparency in the investigation. More likely is Interpol sent a Red Notice Request to Jordan to locate/detain the "suspect" if found in the country. I'd imagine Turkish police tracked his movements, alerting police in Jordan.
@DavQuinn@Independent The RTÉ report states 'senior gardai are unclear as to why (the unnamed man) was detained'. Really? The 'person of significant interest' as the report describes him ,fled the country and made for Jordan. We can assume Interpol, Turkish police and FBI were tracking the killer.
We are not given his name or told he was her boyfriend in this piece. He is simply 'a man arrested in Jordan'. (@independent names him and has printed his photo).

@nypost There's a lack of transparency in the Garda led investigation. Indications Jamey Carney was fatally attacked at 11pm. Body found after 1pm. Unsure if daughter was in the house when attack happened. I suspect there will be twists, turns and surprises as investigation progresses.
"We certainly got a bit of luck at times, no question about it"
Jack O'Connor disagrees with Keelan on the penalty but conceded Kerry got a bit of luck
@atrupar Tapp Tapp Tapper. Hey presto, Jake now resides in Drumpft's colon. Well done Jake. Only "men" with no spines are agile enough to occupy that space.
TAPPER: I know you don't want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime, because I do have a lot of other questions for you
TRUMP: Sure. We're trying to have CNN go on a normal path
TAPPER: Well I'm on a normal path right here, sir
TRUMP: Good. You are.
