My daughter Brie went to heaven early this morning, ending her long battle with brain cancer. It is an incredibly difficult time for all of us, but the lord did answer our prayers. We had prayed for complete and total healing which she is whole, healthy, and perfect in heaven right now. We had also prayed for a peaceful and quick passing with as little suffering as possible. Please keep the family in your prayers and thank you all for the support during this time.

Somebody gotta stop her 🤣

I don’t want to hear one more fucking criticism of Trump’s new ballroom at the White House.

I know a lot of Republicans are probably sad about their democracy being taken from them, but they should consider that we never had a democracy. It’s actually a Republic.

I'm sure it was incredibly painful to write this letter. Short term, you'll absolutely get roasted by the judge & by everyone. It's a PR nightmare. And yes, you may even get fired. But by owning responsibility for the mistake and taking the initiative to find *other* unsurfaced mistakes to mitigate them, you take one small step towards earning that trust back. In my opinion, how you respond when you mess up is a huge sign of whether or not you can be trusted in the future.

We are in a far worse situation than before. IRGC has demonstrated its effectiveness in the Strait of Hormuz control today. Politicians and diplomats have no control of the forces on the ground. Hardline stance is expected. Trump will now need to escalate further in order to de-escalate. Meanwhile, we keep losing 11-13 million b/d.

I think Hormuz has broken Trump. We always say he's inconsistent and changes his mind. But this is different. I don't think he's ever been this all over the place on an issue in such a short period of time. "OPEN HORMUZ OR YOUR CIVILIZATION DIES." "We don't need Hormuz, it's Europe's problem." "Oh actually, we're probably going to have a deal with the Iranians to run it together." "It's great Hormuz is not open, we get to sell more oil!" "Actually, Hormuz is open! The media is lying again." When he's been inconsistent before, usually he cycles through different positions, at least showing some consistency for a short period of time. Here he's constantly saying contradictory things in the same breath, over and over again. I think he realizes he's stuck. He can let Iran have Hormuz and say it doesn't matter or lie about what happened. MAGA idiots may believe him, but he'll be a laughing stock to everyone else. Or he can pivot back to "DESTROY THEIR CIVILIZATION," send oil to $150, and hope it works. Either 1) more war, which wrecks the economy going into the midterms, or 2) total loss, and maybe the economy recovers if Iran allows enough traffic through, but this goes along with what is probably the worst strategic defeat in American history. Just terrible options all around.
