I will never get tired of pointing out that Democrats have attempted many times in both congress and the Supreme Court to enact a national ban on partisan gerrymandering, literally all Republicans need to do on this is say "yes."

“$18K PER DEPORTATION” @SecMullinDHS: “It costs about $18,225 per person to deport.” “Multiply that by MILLIONS—it’s staggering.” “Why so high? Asylum claims, attorneys, clogged courts.” “That’s the system we’re dealing with.”














I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards. When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted. Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation. But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence? Are you serious? For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop. This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality. And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.” Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence? You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant. So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.” Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t. Macron, Starmer, rest of EU leaders and top bureaucrats should just STFU and spare us the self righteous sanctimonious lectures!🤐🤫




America isn't even on the graph.










Iran and China new rail link. The new direct rail link between Iran and China officially opened on May 25, 2025, with the arrival of the first freight train from Xi’an, China, at the Aprin dry port near Tehran. This landmark corridor not only accelerates trade and strengthens the economic partnership between the two countries, but also provides a secure and efficient overland route for Iranian exports—especially oil—bypassing vulnerable maritime chokepoints. The significance of this connection is amplified by the fact that China is the destination for almost 90% of Iran’s oil exports, making Chinese refiners the main buyers of Iranian crude despite ongoing international sanctions. The new rail link is expected to further deepen this strategic energy relationship and reshape regional trade dynamics.

Iran says it has established alternate trade routes through Russia, Central Asia, and China, claiming any blockade will backfire and become "America's biggest regional mistake."

It was never about asylum, it was an invasion. America is not an economic zone to be plundered.

Both Elpis and Rich Starry have been stopped. It appears the US blockade is past the Jask terminal (Iran's alternative export terminal). We have not seen Iran load there yet, and we don't know if the blockade will be effective for that facility. Two tankers went through the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours: MURLIKISHAN (IMO: 9269403) Asphalt/Bitumen Tanker PEACE GULF (IMO: 9304588) Oil/Chemical Tanker Source: @MarineTraffic
