@GuntherEagleman 😂😂😂 What are you trying to do? I know we need to reduce the Democrat politicians but...."Strait of Trump"? That's a killer!😂😂😂 (for sure).

President Trump just shared a post that shows U.S. exports are about to BOOM. The Strait of Trump is going to be worldwide.

I see where you were a U.S. Press attache at the embassy in Tehran in 1979, when the Mullahs overthrew the Shah of Iran. That would make you 77 years old today or thereabouts. I was very aware of the atrocities going on at the time. I'm sure it's a memory you would rather forget. I hope you are well and have overcome that fear you mush have experienced with peace.🙏 While I respect your experience, I would ask that you respect our Military Leaders as they practice their expertise at this time of conflict with the Islamic Terrorist Regime in Iran. I would recommend that you consider all aspects when comparing what was militarily available 47 years ago and understand that there have been immense upgrades. Please review: 1. The world wide web 2.

I was thirty-something years old when Iranian students dragged me into a room and told me I wasn't going anywhere. Four hundred and forty-four days later, I walked out. I've spent the decades since trying to make sense of what happened — and what keeps happening — between our two countries. So don't talk to me about Iran like it's an abstraction. I lived inside that confrontation. I felt it. Which is why I'm not ready to write off this ceasefire, even though everything about it is maddening. Negotiations in Pakistan may produce nothing. The talks could collapse before they get started. I've seen American diplomacy with Iran fail more times than I can count, and usually for the same reasons — too much pride, too little patience, and Israel holding a match in the corner of the room. But here's what I know in my bones: another war won't break Iran. We just tried. It didn't work. Iran doesn't break — it absorbs, it adapts, and it waits. I watched that stubbornness up close for 444 days. What bothers me most isn't that Iran is winning this moment — it's that we handed it to them. Tehran's framework is running these negotiations. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. Still collecting tolls. Trump looked at their proposal and called it workable. I never thought I'd see the day, but here we are. Iran wants everything on the table — sanctions, enrichment rights, American troops out, and a deal that covers what's happening in Lebanon and Gaza too. That's a lot to swallow. And Israel, which wasn't invited to this conversation, is already making clear it has no intention of being constrained by it. That's the part that worries me the most. Because if Israel keeps bombing and Washington can't or won't stop it, none of this holds. And yet — and I say this as someone who has every reason to distrust Tehran — I don't think we go back to all-out war. Not because anyone has suddenly gotten wise, but because the math doesn't work. A second round ends the same way. Iran still controls the Strait. The global economy still flinches when Tehran flexes. What we're heading toward isn't peace. It's something smaller and more precarious — two countries silently agreeing not to destroy each other today, with no paperwork and no guarantees. I know what it's like to survive on something that fragile. For 444 days, that's all I had.

No kidding! This woman rocks! GROK breaks it down. - Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of Madrid's regional government and a leading conservative voice, delivered a sarcastic speech in parliament challenging leftist politicians to travel to Tehran drunk and with gay friends to test Iran's policies on alcohol and homosexuality. - Ayuso highlighted Iran's practice of executing individuals for homosexuality, often by hanging from cranes, contrasting it with Western liberal lifestyles to critique government softness toward the regime. - The viral clip underscores Spain's domestic political divide, with Ayuso gaining applause from right-wing supporters amid debates over foreign policy toward Iran and Middle East human rights issues.

The President of Madrid just ripped Spain’s leftist government apart in parliament: “Why don’t you all go to Tehran alone and drunk, and take your gay friends with you? Let’s see how long it takes them to hang you from a crane!”😂 Give her the Oscar already!😂

@SamanthaTaghoy Amen!

A warning from Cardinal Robert Sarah: “The West is trying to denounce Christianity. But God built the West. Your cities, your streets, your music, your literature… everything is Christian. We need God to live. Without God, we will die.” Wake up. Before it’s too late.

@AriFleischer Swift Boater rides again.🙄

Kerry is the biggest fool and fabricator I’ve ever met. He says Bibi tried to get Bush to attack Iran. Small problem. Bibi wasn’t Prime Minister when Bush was president. Sharon and Olmert were. Kerry made this up out of whole cloth.

@Strandjunker I don't know of anyone who "hates" the Pope. They just don't agree with him.

If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

I've watched this weirdo on Aljazeera News two nights in a row. Aljazeera (middle East Channel) loves him. He certainly is a full fledged Democrat.😂😂😂 As Senator John Kennedy once, of the anti-Trump press: "They suck that stuff up like a Hoover Delux". Well, that twerpy blonde that interviews this clown, I really believe when he spews his negative answers, she does what Meg Ryan did at the lunch table on "When Harry met Sally". 😳 Personal politics In 2019, Mearsheimer said that his preferred candidate in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries was Bernie Sanders and that economic inequality was the greatest problem faced by the United States.[86] He has said that he has very liberal views on gay rights and gay marriage, and expressed support of gender equality.[87] In a 2004 speech, Mearsheimer praised the British historian E. H. Carr for his 1939 book The Twenty Years' Crisis and argued that Carr was correct when he argued that international relations were a struggle of all against all, with states always placing their own interests first.[88] Mearsheimer said that Carr's points were still as relevant for 2004 as for 1939 and went on to deplore what he claimed was the dominance of "idealist" thinking about international relations in British academic life.

Absolute disaster for the Pentagon. Professor John Mearsheimer confirms the US Navy is utterly terrified to enter the Strait of Hormuz because Iranian missiles will easily sink them. He reveals 13 US bases are heavily damaged and Trump's ground forces are completely useless.

@ForgiatoBlow47 Yes

IF THE ELECTION WAS TODAY WOULD YOU STILL VOTE FOR TRUMP?

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see this woman 👇

@EricLDaugh TRIUMPHAL ARCH - WASHINGTON, DC . 👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I think is lovely and very fitting for our DC monuments! Somebody better order some of these for the Democrats though: Key Details About TDS Dosage:

🚨 WOW! President Trump has OFFICIALLY filed to build this beautiful triumphal arch in Washington DC Cue the meltdown! It’s stunning — which is why the Democrats will likely SUE over this 🤣 “I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

**Travis Akers is speculating (or drawing on indirect signals/public reporting), not sharing verified insider access.** He is a **retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer** (left active service around 2024 after ~20+ years, including roles like Director of Intelligence for MPRWS and other assignments). He now works as a high school history teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, after a brief defense industry stint. He has a large X following (~178k) as a vocal Trump critic and commentator, often posting strongly anti-MAGA, anti-Hegseth takes framed as "from a retired intel officer's perspective." Why he doesn't have direct knowledge: - He retired years ago and has no known current role in the Pentagon, White House, or Congress that would give him access to private conversations between **JD Vance**, **Marco Rubio**, **Mike Johnson**, and **Trump**. - Claims like "quietly pushing" or "expressed concerns" about firing **Pete Hegseth** over "Operation Epic Fury"/Iran are typical Washington rumor-mill stuff. No major outlets have corroborated specific private urging from those three as of the post's timing. Akers frequently posts similar unverified assertions (e.g., Vance "leaked to the press," service members saying Hegseth is lying). Context for his post: - It's part of his ongoing narrative criticizing the Iran campaign's outcome (civilian casualties, mixed results, ceasefire with competing claims) and positioning Hegseth as unqualified/scapegoat material. - Broader tensions exist: Reports note policy clashes, Hegseth's inexperience critiques, and some GOP figures distancing amid fallout. Rubio has been portrayed as somewhat insulated; Vance has had reported differences on aspects of the approach. But "quietly pushing for removal" is a leap Akers is making, likely from open-source analysis, leaks in the press, or his network of contacts rather than firsthand intel. In short, this reads as **informed commentary/opinion from a knowledgeable ex-insider**, not a leak from current principals. Akers labels his views as "All Opinions Are My Own" in his bio. Many such X posts in polarized times blend analysis with wishful framing—take it with skepticism unless corroborated by named sources or major reporting. OH😳 What else do you know?🙄🤨

Both JD Vance and Marco Rubio are quietly pushing Trump for Hegseth to be removed. Mike Johnson has also expressed concerns with Hegseth. With Trump looking for a scapegoat for the disaster in Iran, will it be Pentagon Pete?

@ProudSocialist Because the American Military and our President are not heathens and terrorists.

Where are the missing pilots? Why hasn’t Trump paraded them around to try to save his sinking approval ratings? Because the whole “rescue” mission story was a lie to cover up a failed mission to steal the Uranium that Iran thwarted.

Yes, the information in the post is accurate and well-supported by recent data.** Multiple reliable sources, including Bloomberg, the Financial Times, Reuters, and energy analytics firm **Kpler**, confirm the surge: - **US Gulf Coast crude exports** reached around **4.9 million barrels per day (bpd)** in April 2026, up sharply from ~3.9–4.0 million bpd in March. - Bookings for May show ~**28 supertankers** (VLCCs) already contracted for US crude loading, versus a typical ~5 at this stage of the month. Exports could exceed **5 million bpd** in May, setting a new record. - Asian demand is the main driver, surging ~82% month-over-month to ~2.5 million bpd as buyers replace lost Middle Eastern barrels. This ties directly to the **2026 Iran conflict** and the effective blockade/restrictions in the **Strait of Hormuz** (which normally carries ~20% of global oil). Asian refiners (heavily reliant on Gulf crude) have turned to US supplies as an alternative. Economic Impact for the US **It's a net positive for parts of the US energy sector and overall exports**, but mixed for consumers: - **Boost for producers and exporters**: Higher export volumes and global oil prices (elevated due to the disruption) support US oil companies, jobs in production/refining/shipping on the Gulf Coast, and the trade balance. The US is acting as a "swing supplier," reinforcing its role as a major global exporter. Refiners are also seeing strong margins from product exports. - **Downsides for domestic prices**: Diverting more crude abroad tightens US supply, contributing to higher gasoline and fuel costs (already at multi-year highs in some reports). This risks adding to inflation and could create a policy tension (e.g., no export ban is planned, as it would back up domestic barrels). - **Broader economy**: Energy is a key US strength. Strong exports help GDP and energy independence, but sustained high fuel prices hurt consumers, transport, and manufacturing. The overall effect depends on how long the Hormuz disruptions last—short-term boom for producers, potential drag if prices stay elevated. In short, this validates the US shale/export boom story amid geopolitics, with clear gains for the energy industry but caveats for household budgets.

TRUMP BOOM: Asian buyers are abandoning Middle Eastern oil & lining up 28 supertankers to carry US crude in May alone. Normal bookings at this point: 5. US Gulf Coast exports hit a record 4.90 million barrels a day in April. Trump's energy dominance is not a talking point. It is a shipping manifest. h/t @KobeissiLetter
