He is absolutely going to back away and say some megotiation is happening and close so no need for the island.
The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter
In case you missed it: President Trump just effectively announced that the US will be putting boots on the ground to take Kharg Island in Iran in the near future. Kharg Island, which is one-third the size of Manhattan and located in the Persian Gulf, controls ~90% of Iranian crude oil exports. That's roughly 1.5 to 2.0 million barrels of crude oil exports per day. Trump specifically says this would be a "Venezuela" style takeover, where the US would take complete control of Iran's oil and gas infrastructure. If this happens, it would be the biggest escalation of the Iran War yet. We expect to receive Iran's response shortly.

@rickjeff78 Nothing indicates he's panicking. He's been doing the exact same thing since the strait closed. No one knows his end game, we should stop pretending we do.

@ChildPleez007 Any chance he's just going as republican as he can to peel off disaffected trump/collins voters?

@KobeissiLetter So once again, the great predicted catastrophe has been averted because folks acted to mitigate things. The prognosticators are as bad as the admin.

Fertilizer prices are normalizing:
New Orleans granular urea prices, the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer, are down to $453.5 per short ton, the lowest since February 6th.
This marks a -36% decline from the mid-April peak, when prices surged to the highest since 2022 as the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz effectively halted fertilizer shipments from the Middle East.
According to the Fertilizer Institute, countries directly affected by the Iran War account for almost half of all global urea exports.
The current decline has been driven by a sharp drop in seasonal demand, as US farmers have largely completed their spring fertilizer applications, leaving the domestic market oversupplied.
By comparison, Egypt's benchmark urea price has also plunged to ~$640.0 per short ton, the lowest since late February, though it remains significantly above US prices.
The fertilizer shock is easing.

@agraybee @trouble_man90 That, and epstein isn't going to sway the election without earth shattering new revelations.

Every Democratic leader is behind him and he's still opening his general election campaign by calling them pedophiles.

#MEPol: "Powerful Democrats and Republicans in the country were on Epstein Island. It seems the only thing the party establishments can agree on is a love of Jeffrey Epstein and a hatred of me." Graham Platner is up with his first #MESen general election TV ad.

@roberthenryjohn @MaineRN3 Its also because too many small people actively help feed the rich.

If Democrats don’t win back Congress with the president making attack ads on himself like this then I don’t know what to say…

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

🚨The top prediction market now only gives a 27% chance the Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal by July 31.
Translation: Buckle up, America — gas prices aren’t dropping before summer’s over. Maybe not even then. ⛽️
We’re ALL going to pay the price for #TrumpsGasFailure.

Trump; “The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

@JoeRoganRecaps @FindXSnowflakes "Dr's are dumb"
You think ivermectin is some natural herbal remedy made by flowers? You think some PhD/ dr had nothing to do with crafting it?
English
New: Joe Rogan debates NFL legend Terry Bradshaw on whether or not Ivermectin should be taken by humans:
ROGAN: “Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize for use in human beings. It’s an anti-parasitic with antiviral properties.”
BRADSHAW: “I used to give Ivermectin to my cattle. It’s a cattle dewormer.”
ROGAN: “It cured me when I had Covid so CNN started attacking me because they wanted everyone vaccinated. They put a green filter over my face to make me look sick.”
BRADSHAW: “I had a brain surgeon recommend Ivermectin to me. I could never rationalize that kind of thinking.”
ROGAN: “It is a dewormer, but it was actually invented for humans. We’re mammals so we have similar medicines. It stops viral replications.”
BRADSHAW: “Is it actually proven though? I wasn’t going to take that no matter what. I’m married to my doctor and she says we’re not taking that.”
ROGAN: “The reason they told people not to take Ivermectin was because they wanted everyone vaccinated so they could make a lot of money. It wasn’t because the vaccine was effective.”

News isn't news anymore. It's just gossip columnists posing as journalists. @FoxNews is so negative, their energy is always hostile. How does one turn on this shit & not vomit?

BREAKING: Fox News Just Spent 3 Straight Minutes Airing A Detailed Case For Corruption Inside The Trump Administration.
Think about that.
This wasn’t MSNBC.
This wasn’t CNN.
This was Fox News.
Rep. Jamie Raskin walked viewers through what he says is a pattern of corruption, conflicts of interest, and abuse of power inside the administration.
And Fox aired the entire thing.
When even Fox can no longer avoid the conversation, it suggests the story has become too large to simply ignore.
