Pete Hegseth: The problem with Iran is it spends money on weapons and missiles instead of improving life for their people.

Going to war with a country, then immediately floating the idea of lifting sanctions on its oil to prevent your own economic collapse, is the definition of strategic failure

🚨 The United States is allowing Iran to collect $14 billion in oil revenue.
The first time America has bought Iranian oil since 1996.
In the middle of a war against Iran.

Jay Nordlinger saw it coming. His article laid out the architecture. Now comes the confirmation: JD Vance is flying to Budapest to campaign for Orbán. Washington and Moscow, same direction, same result.
This is no longer subtext. It is policy.
Which is exactly why European leaders and NATO allies need to stop whispering and start speaking on the record. Publicly. By name. The American vice president is actively working to keep a Kremlin-aligned government in power inside a NATO member state. That sentence should be causing emergency sessions, not diplomatic silence.
Nordlinger wrote the diagnosis. Europe needs to find its voice before the patient is gone.

Since this article of mine was written, it has been announced that Vice President JD Vance will go to Hungary to campaign for Orbán. It is an all-out effort, from both Washington and Moscow. To say this is a curious coalition is to say the least. It is the new shape of the world.

No decent human being finds comfort in this. What a horrifyingly repulsive individual.

Vance says Americans should find comfort in the fact that our allies are "suffering more than we are" from high gas prices

#BREAKING: Kevin Frey: “…in a new letter from a top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee and a top Democrat on the House Ovesight Committee, they are asking the White House to kind of clarify what this role is, that letter reading in part: ‘Mr Kushner is simultaneously being paid millions of dollars by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf monarchies while leading diplomatic negotiations with #Iran and Russia. This corrupt arrangement is not only criminal, but is endangering the lives of Americans and threatening our national security.’”😳

CATHY NEWMAN: You're striking gas fields in Qatar. These aren't military targets.
IRANIAN SPOKESPERSON: We're targeting US-linked assets.
CATHY: No, you're striking a gas field in Qatar.
IRANIAN SPOKESPERSON: Don't interrupt me. Who struck our gas fields first? We're defending ourselves.
CATHY: But a gas field isn't a military target.
IRANIAN SPOKESPERSON: Then why were ours targeted ?

"Shameful." In an extraordinary interview, Pentagon whistleblower @WesJBryant sounds the alarm about what he calls a lack of concern for civilian casualties by the US in Iran. He was part of a Pentagon unit tasked with mitigating civilian harm, but it was gutted last year in government cuts. Worth watching in full.

Once again, the village of Taybeh—the last entirely Palestinian Christian village in the West Bank—has been stormed by Israeli settlers, who entered a cement factory and a stone quarry, raised an Israeli flag over the site, and announced their control over the area.
Father Bashar Fawadleh, the Latin parish priest in the town, confirmed that residents are living under difficult conditions due to military barriers and checkpoints, calling on the international community to witness the reality on the ground and take steps to protect the Christian population.
Father Bashar Fawadleh added: “We still have hope. We raise our voice to say that we are Palestinian civilian people. We want to live in peace. We want to live with justice… We ask the world to come and see, to stop these practices, and to allow us to live in safety and peace.”

8 public annual Islamic Eid events in Trafalgar Square held during the London Mayor tenure of Boris Johnson.
I can only assume that @NJ_Timothy and @KemiBadenoch were silent at that time either because of hypocrisy, or just that their casual hatred is more acceptable now.

TRUMP EXTORTS THE GULF FOR MORE MONEY!!!
"If you want the war to continue — $5 trillion. If you want it to stop — $2.5 trillion."
Omani journalist and international affairs researcher Salem Al-Jahoori on BBC Arabic confirms reports of U.S. pressure on Gulf Cooperation Council states to pay up, either way.
According to leaks Al-Jahoori cites, Trump is demanding GCC states pay $5 trillion to sustain the war, or $2.5 trillion as a fee for stopping it, framed as payment for "what has been accomplished."
Protection racket without any protection.

If it's such a 'simple military maneuver' to clear the Strait of Hormuz, and NATO is just a paper tiger without the US, then why can't our military clear it on their own?
I'm going to say my catchphrase again.
You all know it was coming.
Trump has no idea what he's doing.

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨

@FurkanGozukara @rwrjbb Stage 1 of the Greater Israel Project?
How can this be allowed?
Israel has been allowed to do what they have been doing for 60+ years because Western Nations have supported it.
Eternal shame on them all.

Israel just officially announced they are occupying and annexing southern Lebanon to create a permanent "security zone." And Netanyahu chillingly adds they have "plans for the future." The expansion never stops.
