I'm old enough to remember when Republicans screamed when gas hit $3.00 per gallon under Biden. When Biden left office: $3.10. Now, under trump: $3.96 HOLY SHIT

I agree. The Iranians are at risk of overreach. They are closing to achieving all their objectives. They have survived a joint all-out aerial attack by the US and Israel. They have pushed out US forces and made US bases in the region unusable. They have demonstrated the power of the Hormuz weapon — and held the world economy at gunpoint. They have demonstrated their capability to hold all gulf and Israeli assets and cities at risk. Has deterrence been restored? I think we’re getting close. Despite the low journalistic standards in the West, all serious people now understand that this has been a strategic defeat for the West. Escalating from here or dragging this out may be unwise. It would only force the US to commit ground forces, which will be a quagmire for the Americans, but would be considerably more devastating for Iran. The Iranians should try to secure what they can at the table. Security guarantees may not be forthcoming and are not something that can be extracted by Iranian threats. What they can insist on is money and arms. Sanctions relief from the US. Weapons supply from the other great powers. This will have to enough until Iran can achieve breakout, which they must now do at forced-pace and in total secrecy (see @NicoleGrajewski FA article on this point). The enrichment file may be the sticking point. It is really hard to see how Iran can now allow any kind of serious inspection regime. They must rush to get the bomb. And this is an important reason beyond the Hormuz weapon that the war will continue. The culminating point is hard to identify. But a good case can be made that this is it. If Trump is willing to eat this defeat then they should let him. Even if they agree to inspections, they can run rings around the inspectors or kick them out later.

Many disagree with my view that Iran should now show restraint. They want escalation. They want a decisive finish. History warns against this instinct. In 1982, Iran had pushed Iraq back and held a clear advantage. That was the moment to consolidate. Instead, it chose total victory. The result? The world aligned against it. Years of attrition. Hundreds of thousands dead. And in the end, a forced compromise. That is the cost of overreach. Today, Iran again holds leverage: this time through the Strait of Hormuz. It has the ability to impose real economic pain. But leverage is not an invitation to exhaust it. It is a tool to negotiate from strength. Right now, the world is not aligned with the U.S. But if Iran pushes too far, if global economic pain becomes intolerable, that alignment can change very quickly. And when it does, the balance shifts. The lesson is simple: Victory is not in total domination. It is in knowing when to stop. This is the moment for strategic restraint and smart negotiation from a position of strength.

Massive respect to Szabolcs Panyi for uncovering what we all suspected: the Orbán regime isn’t just "Russia-friendly"—it’s an active subcontractor for Putin’s interference in European democracy. This leaked transcript from 2020 is a disgrace. It shows Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó literally begging Sergey Lavrov to help the Slovak "Social Democrats" (Smer) win their election. While pretending to be "conservatives," they’d rather back a nominal leftist in Bratislava as long as he bows to the Kremlin. It’s a coordinated assault on Central European stability. If you still believe Orbán fights for "Hungarian interests”, you’re missing the fact that those interests now seem to be dictated from Moscow. Share this. Don’t let them bury the truth. 🇭🇺🇪🇺 Transcript: “14.02.2020 PS: Hello Sergey, Peter here. Thank you for talking to me. As I understand you are in Munich, at the conference, right? SL: Yes, I am in Munich. PS: I don’t want to bother you but the Prime Minister asked me to do it, because we have kinda big plea for you. As you know then there are elections coming up in Slovakia 29.02 and it is of key importance to us that the coalition there would continue. I understand it may sound strange coming from Hungarian conservatives but we are hoping for social democrats since they are the only rational force in Slovak political landscape and the only ones who are acting without foreign interference. All others are basically funded by Soros. If the opposition wins then it would be a tragedy for the Central European cooperation. It is also important that the speaker Danko’s Slovak National Party would cross the 5% threshold. We hope they manage it but the only hope for the coalition to continue is when the ruling party wins elections. The prime minister Pellegrini was here yesterday and he told us that if your prime minister would host him even for half an hour it would be of great help for winning the elections. He told us it is way more important for their society than a visit to Washington. So he asked us to ask you, and we also want to ask it ourselves, if such thing could be organized that your PM would host Slovak PM in Moscow somewhere in February... SL: It’s quite a plea but I’ll pass it on to PM. PS: I understand. It would be great if you’d manage to organize it. Pellegrini asked for our help in that regard since he knows we have good relations and that our presidents also have good personal relations. And he trusted us in this matter. SL: Peter, I will pass this plea on today and will be in contact as soon as I have any updates. PS: Thank you. And let me emphasize it once more how important it is for us that the coalition in Slovakia continues. If they can’t continue then there is no hope for pragmatic cooperation in Central Europe and we would lose a lot. SL: I understand. PS: You have no idea how grateful I am that we are having this conversation. It is a sign of friendship. SL: Any time, my friend. All the best.”

🚨BREAKING: Sean Duffy just addressed the deadly collision at LaGuardia Airport and denied the "rumor" that the FAA control team was understaffed. But analyses of the released ATC audio paints a darker story: The tower likely had fewer controllers on duty than they would have. You can hear the controller wave the fire truck on and then desperately say, "Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop, Truck 1, stop. Stop, Truck 1, stop!" and later admit that he was distracted, "We were dealing with an emergency earlier. I messed up.” The fire truck was responding to a United Airlines flight with a “odor” on board. According to the transcript, a man stated that flight attendants in the back of the plane were feeling ill due to the odor. Aviation experts have warned that the FAA is dangerously understaffed - and Trump made it worse, firing hundreds of FAA employees and cutting parts of the system controllers rely on. This is what happens when a strained system gets pushed past its limits by inept leadership.

Some Virginia residents are being offered over $4 million per acre for their land — by a data center developer. Ashburn is in the middle of the state's "Data Center Alley," and an anonymous tech company wants to build six data center buildings on 130-acres.

Let me explain educate you all what just happened, 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… Someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.5 minutes. These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the market at that time. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes, they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are positioned to profit from it. This is not the first time. Major announcements have repeatedly been preceded by suspicious market moves tariff reversals, policy shifts, war decisions. This may be one of the most blatant examples of potential insider advantage in modern American politics. You would go to prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. Yet billion-dollar trades happen minutes before decisions like this and no one asks questions.Nobody gets investigated. Nobody gets charged. By tomorrow, this will be buried under the next headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. The insiders pull the strings and win over and over. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone.

American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged.

Iran came all the way to the UK to burn 4 empty ambulances in a pointless attack that could be used as propaganda by Israel. They think you are stupid enough to believe that.

What makes this even bigger than Signalgate isn't just that it's the POTUS doing this and doing it *intentionally*, but the attack is still in the future—so we don't know if pilots will be killed conducting it *because of Trump*—and what he's threatening *is likely a war crime*.

American media spent weeks on Signalgate—and understandably so. How is this not worse? This is the leader of the entire country deliberately putting American lives at risk by telegraphing future American military maneuvers and doing so purely for his own ego, not even by mistake.
