@RodDMartin He committed treason

And...the other shoe drops. BREAKING: The FBI is investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over alleged classified information leaks, with the probe predating his resignation, according to sources. Kent stepped down Tuesday, citing opposition to the U.S. war against Iran.

@EmmanuelMacron But you won’t send warship to Hormuz. Did I get it right?

I have just spoken with the Emir of Qatar and President Trump following the strikes that hit gas production facilities in Iran and Qatar today. It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water supply facilities. Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation.

People try only to see bad things. No one knows the good.

The Iran Conflict will end soon It has been and will be a decisive victory The "Peace Dividend" will be huge for American and the world (oil prices will get back on track), There has been no inflation spike.

@DrJStrategy Too Late is an understatement. Incompetent suits Powell better. When a Fed Chair isn’t doing what would benefit America, it’s a crime.

For the record. Excuses Aren’t Policy: The Fed’s Crisis of Competence. The Powell Fed’s latest decision shouldn’t surprise anyone, by now, incompetence is the baseline. Shocks don’t need central bankers to “manage” them; they dissipate naturally. That’s first‑year economics. Yet the Fed continues to treat every temporary disturbance as a crisis of their own invention. When the results inevitably disappoint, Powell hides behind the platitude that “it’s a difficult decision.” It isn’t. Monetary policy is difficult only for those who refuse to learn from their own mistakes. And when cornered, the Fed retreats to the tired excuse that “it’s always in a different position.” It’s not, and that is no justification for the steady degradation of judgment we’ve seen under Powell. Consider inflation expectations: before the Powell circus arrived, the five‑year five‑year forwards were the gold standard. Today, at 2.12%, they remain well below long‑term averages—proof enough that expectations are firmly anchored. Rate cuts, we’re told, are blunt instruments that “affect the whole economy.” They don’t. Real estate is in recession, and an insightful Fed, if such a creature existed, would already have moved toward 2.75%. But insight has never been this institution’s strong suit. The Fed clings to lagging indicators like inflation and employment while ignoring the leading signals flashing red across credit and housing. They remain unmoved by the inconvenient truth of policy lags that stretch two years or more. So yes, the Fed made another mistake. And no, it shouldn’t surprise anyone. High energy prices are not inflationary in any sustained sense. They drain real incomes, crush discretionary spending, and deter investment—classic deflationary dynamics. The logical result is weaker growth, not runaway inflation. Yet the Fed remains trapped in a 1970s hallucination, reacting to every cost spike as though OPEC were plotting at midnight. It’s the same textbook error they made with wages and tariffs: mistaking a negative supply shock for a permanent inflation regime. After half a century of economic evidence to the contrary, the persistence of this misunderstanding can only be described as what it is, total incompetence dressed up as vigilance.

Another win from @dannycheng2022 Buy alert came out last week with his system. Awesome

@visegrad24 @grok is this real and when was this video taken

Iranians are out in the streets of Karaj tonight, dancing and chanting: “Long Live the Shah” 🦁☀️

@Suffragent_ “When I was growing up”, why does this sound like Kamala?😂😂😂😂😂

"We stand with Iran. We won't enable Trump's attack." Starmer is so terrified of upsetting muslims and losing their vote that he'll alienate the US President. 🇬🇧

@Osint613 @POTUS doesn’t need any help from any country. Any country that don’t help is telling President Trump if they are foe or friend. And next time they need help, it’s an easy no.

MACRON: ANY ROLE IN HORMUZ WOULD BE ONLY IF THERE IS AN END TO HOSTILITIES

@KobeissiLetter Horrible account that spreads fear

BREAKING: US Energy Secretary Wright says the Iran conflict will end in the “next few weeks,” with oil supplies rebounding and energy prices falling once the war concludes, per ABC News. This likely won’t be enough to calm oil markets.

@MarioNawfal You don’t know Trump and quite obviously so

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN ISN’T VENEZUELA, AND WASHINGTON JUST FOUND OUT Earlier this year, Trump pulled off a Hollywood-style operation in Venezuela. Maduro was gone, power shifted, and suddenly Washington had a cooperative government where a hostile one used to sit. For the administration, it looked like proof that bold moves work. So naturally the same thinking drifted toward Iran. There’s just one problem, Iran isn’t Venezuela. In Caracas, the regime capitulated once the leader disappeared; in Tehran, the system hardened. As former U.S. General David Petraeus put it, Washington hoped for a compliant deputy. What it got instead was something closer to Kim Jong-un 2.0. Timing didn’t help either. When protests were erupting across Iran earlier this year, that was the moment when outside pressure might actually have tipped the scales. But the U.S. military’s attention, and hardware, were busy with Venezuela. Aircraft, intelligence, political capital, all focused on the Caribbean while the Iranian protests burned. By the time Washington looked back toward Tehran, the moment had passed. For Trump, victory usually means total defeat of the other side. For Tehran, victory simply means not losing. If the regime survives… it wins. If it forces the United States into a prolonged standoff… it wins. And right now, by Iran’s definition, the game is still very much alive. That’s the danger of applying the Venezuela playbook to a country that has spent four decades perfecting the art of strategic stubbornness.

@aj_inapi He always has a plan. And what should be alarming would be the Americans that want America to lose. That’s evil to the core.

I’m going to bet my car that the very people saying President Trump underestimated the Iranian regime, had no plan, or didn’t know what he was getting into… …are the same people who had ZERO idea where Kharg Island was or why it matters until it was bombed a few hours ago. Let me explain why this place matters. Kharg Island is not just some random island in the Persian Gulf. It is the economic jugular vein of the Iranian regime. • Roughly 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports move through this single island. • It hosts Iran’s largest oil export terminal. • It has a loading capacity of ~7 million barrels per day. • Tankers leave from here carrying oil primarily to China and India. In simple terms: No Kharg Island. No oil exports. No oil exports. No regime revenue. And without oil revenue, the Iranian regime has a serious problem funding: • The IRGC • Proxy militias across the Middle East • Weapons programs • Regional destabilization This is why Kharg Island has always been considered one of Iran’s most strategic assets. If you were looking for a pressure point on the regime without launching a ground war… this is exactly where you would look. So before the usual commentators start declaring “no strategy” or “reckless escalation,” it’s worth asking a simple question: Did they even know this island existed before today? These people need a class on geography by AOC.

We're going to win this war. The stock market will rally. Gas prices will plummet. The GOP will win the midterms. It's inevitable.

@BoujeeFinances Yes. Thats a much better view than the nonsense being spewed. People gravitate towards bad news

The stock market will open GREEN on Monday

@MitchMartan98 You are absolutely right. I stopped following @KobeissiLetter . It has become The Doomsday Letter

Short positioning is at aggressive levels as per this note… All Trump needs to do is tweet one really positive thing about war developments and well you can assume what would happen next. $SPY $QQQ $IWM $BTC $ETH

Never allow your attitude to be a liability. Be positive and strong. Set your mind on winning-- and keep it there.

@KobeissiLetter More fear mongering. This is a pathetic attempt on you

Bearish positioning by hedge funds is at extreme levels: Hedge fund short positions in US-listed ETFs surged +10% on Thursday, the 2nd-largest single-day increase in data going back to 2016. The only bigger day was April 2nd, 2025, "Liberation Day," when shorts jumped +16%. As a result, US-listed ETF shorts soared +12% this week alone, following a +8% increase last week. In total, short positions are up +23% over the last month. Meanwhile, hedge fund short positions in US macro products, including index futures and ETFs, are up to 11.5% of total US exposure, approaching the 2022 bear market peak of 11.6%. Over the last 5 years, short exposure has only been higher in 3% of cases. Hedge fund shorts are at extreme levels.

@BullSyndicate @KobeissiLetter @KobeissiLetter Why are you constantly posting news that are unverified and in the process creating fear?

BREAKING: US officials say Israel is running "critically low" on ballistic missile interceptors as the Iran war hits week three, per Semafor.

@aleabitoreddit Wow. Amazing

Just looked outside my little bubble. Majority of folks on X are: - posting deep red portfolios. - doomposting 1W charts - fearing about oil Feels like most of my individuals stock 1W returns are way in the green? $AXTI up +46.9% $SOI up +48.59% $NBIS up +29.59% $IQE up +27.92% $TSEM up +13.99% And so on… maybe luck?

@DrJStrategy youtu.be/fWrcP6ruJ6k?si… The final move is imminent. The true Iranians will reclaim their country.

For the record. Critics who argue that President Trump misjudged Iran or acted impulsively fail to grasp the strategic coherence underpinning recent U.S. operations. Many of these same commentators, until hours ago, could not have pointed to Kharg Island on a map, yet it is the core through which the Iranian regime’s economy breathes. Nearly 90% of Tehran’s crude exports run through Kharg, a terminal capable of handling roughly seven million barrels a day. Disrupting or seizing control of this node strikes at the regime’s primary revenue artery without requiring a ground war or full-scale confrontation. The precision of the U.S. campaign underscores this logic. American strikes have degraded Iran’s military infrastructure while sparing oil export sites, signalling a strategy not of regime change but of coercive stabilization. The objective is clear: reopen the Strait of Hormuz, restore safe Gulf exports, and pressure Iran toward internal reform rather than external collapse. Securing transit routes and establishing U.S.-supervised flows from Iranian facilities like Kharg would not only stabilize global supply but also weaken China’s energy leverage across Eurasia. In that sense, what critics call “reckless escalation” may instead be a calculated rebalancing of power using economic geography, not ideology, as the primary instrument of statecraft. The question is not whether Washington has a plan, but whether its detractors have the strategic literacy to recognize one.
