Kilmeade: What do you say to people like Bernie Sanders who says billionaires don't pay their fair share? Dimon: I don't know what he means by fair share
Beyer is making no sense because he's deliberately creating a false equivalence between two completely different things. His tweet quotes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's announcement and claims: "Just 3 days ago Trump was awfully concerned about the “pallets of cash” sent to Iran a decade ago, but is now going to give them nearly 10x that amount in the middle of a war." This is partisan spin that ignores the actual policy details Bessent laid out (which Beyer is replying to). - What Trump criticized Obama for in 2016 Obama's administration released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets (plus interest) directly to the Iranian regime. This was a cash settlement for a pre-1979 arms deal the U.S. never delivered after the revolution. It was sent in actual pallets of cash (euros, Swiss francs, etc.) that Iran’s central bank could spend freely. Trump repeatedly slammed it as ransom money that funded terrorism. - What the Trump administration is actually doing now (March 2026) Temporary 30-day sanctions waiver only for ~140 million barrels of Iranian oil already loaded on ships and stranded at sea (mostly bound for China, where it was being hoarded at a steep discount). This oil was already sold by Iran before the latest disruptions. No new Iranian production or sales are allowed. Explicit goal (per Bessent): Flood global markets to lower oil prices and counter Iran's attacks on energy infrastructure and the Strait of Hormuz during Operation Epic Fury (the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran's regime). Bessent said verbatim: “In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down…” Crucially: “Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system.” In short: This is not the U.S. giving Iran $10 billion (or any money). It's releasing Iran's own pre-existing inventory onto the market so the world benefits from lower prices, China doesn't get it cheap, and sanctions still block the mullahs from cashing in. It's wartime economic warfare against Iran. Beyer is pretending it's the same as Obama shipping literal cash pallets to Tehran. It's not. One empowered the regime with usable funds. This weakens it by flooding the market while the U.S. is actively fighting it. The hypocrisy claim falls apart the second you read the Treasury statement Beyer quoted. It's classic gotcha politics that falls apart on the facts.
Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.
For nearly 200 years, these iconic — and Ionic — columns have welcomed visitors to the White House. Trump has privately mused about changing them to his preferred style, Corinthian, and now his top arts commissioner has proposed a plan to do exactly that. with @asteckelberg
BREAKING: Trump says U.S. forces will begin special operations & land strikes on Mexican soil.
It is shocking to me that so many left wing politicians attack the idea of prayer in response to a tragedy. Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action. We pray because our hearts are broken and we believe that God is listening.
