Middott

@MattWalshBlog If Biden or Obama made this same deal, you'd be losing your mind. You know it and everyone else knows it.

Really impressed by the clips of JD Vance from this week. Incredibly talented and a very gifted communicator. And he’s actually a conservative. More than can be said (on all of the above points) about most Republicans.

To Trump: In the Middle East, loyalty is currency. If you abandon your closest friend halfway through a fight and cut deals behind their back while leaving them exposed, don't expect anyone to trust your guarantees again. You told the world, "The U.S. and Israel carried out an operation against Iran," then walked away and left your ally standing alone. In the Middle East, we don't judge friends by speeches; we judge them by who stays when the missiles fly. A person who abandons an ally halfway and cuts deals behind their back is not someone you call in a crisis. You will say it's about American interests. Fine. But others also have interests, and they have memories. You can call it "America's interests." We call it something else: leaving your friends in the storm. Before asking, "Why don't they defend themselves?" remember that countries like Israel did and are still doing so alone. And also remember that the UAE defended itself, struck back forcefully, and banned the Muslim Brotherhood. Many of your countries in the West did neither. The lesson is simple. If you can leave your closest friend exposed today, why should anyone trust your promises tomorrow? Maybe it's time for the Middle East to start thinking about alternatives. And yes, when Iran strikes again, don't assume the Middle East will dial Washington. People don't call someone who might leak information to Turkey or cut a deal with Tehran while their friends are still under fire.

@MyNews13 "key to ending the COVID-19 pandemic." Is this a parody?

U.S. health advisers are debating a new kind of flu vaccine Thursday, the first made with the same mRNA technology that was key to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. mynews13.com/fl/orlando/hea…

@sultanwho You'll should just build a canal to bypass the strait...

As an Emirati, and according to the Emirati compass, the ceasefire agreement has more positives than negatives. The UAE will know how to capitalize on the positives of the ceasefire, while also being fully prepared to deal confidently with its negatives. All of this is guided by the principle of UAE First, always, from now on.

Greetings, President Trump, You may have secured a temporary deal, but you've shaken the trust of almost everyone around you except perhaps JD Vance and Iran's Supreme Leader. Attacking friends who stood with you in wartime while defending an enemy that attacked both of you is how nations stop trusting you, even if they keep smiling for the cameras. The way many of us, including me, see it, Israel is America's biggest ally in the Middle East. Telling Israel not to hit Hezbollah for the sake of a deal with Iran is like telling America not to hit al-Qaeda because you're negotiating with Hamas. And a deal that lasts only 60 days? That's not diplomacy, that's a ceasefire with an expiry date shorter than a carton of milk.

Today, Trump and JD Vance lost the trust of 8.3 billion people on Earth and gained the respect of just one man: the Supreme Leader of the Islamic regime in Iran. Quite the trade.

@alexbruesewitz "You love war and bombs. Trump, as he said earlier, is committed to peace!".... Says the guy who launched 15,000 strikes and killed over 500 people and got literally NOTHING out of it.

Any other questions? I’m sorry Mark, but your way of thinking is widely unpopular and has been repeatedly rejected by the American people. Voters aren’t with you. You love war and bombs. Trump, as he said earlier, is committed to peace! You are now throwing a tantrum and trashing President Trump simply because things aren’t going your way. Just relax bro.

@ZavalaA You really should turn down ad assault in your site. Makes it too annoying to even go there.

The Assembly already passed these late Monday night. The Newsom administration has signaled they're on board with both. More on those taxes: kcra.com/article/califo….

NOW: California lawmakers in the State Senate are voting on two major tax increases expected to hit most people: 1) new digital software tax 2) updated tax on health plans @RogerNiello says Sutter Health alone will face $35 million total in added costs because of this 🧵

@JackLinFLL I thought you got rain recently

Fire is still cooking at 74th and the Turnpike

@MarioNawfal Just everybody else.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just denied the $300 billion figure outright: "There is no 300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S. That's Fake News! All there is for the U.S. is Success, Lower Oil Prices, and Victory." He's not wrong that it's not a US payment, the $300 billion is a privately funded investment pool, not a check from the Treasury. But calling the number itself fake, rather than clarifying who's actually funding it, muddies a distinction his own Vice President is trying to carefully draw. Writer: Oliver

@ClayTravis He told the Iranian people who were rising up to be patient. Then he forgot them.

Israel was wrong when they said Iranian opposition would rise up if we wiped out the current Iranian leaders. That didn’t materialize. So if overthrowing the existing government is the goal, then we have to put tens of thousands of troops on the ground.

There are two paths on Iran: we put boots on the ground & remove the Iranian leadership or having wiped out their navy, their air force, their leaders, much of their missile capacity & their ability to have nuclear weapons, we declare victory and pull out. Those are the options.

@Breaking911 So the point of all this was???

VP VANCE: "One of the reasons we are engaged in this process is to ensure that no money is flowing to Hezbollah... What I would say to you know some of the the the critics of the deal that I’ve heard, that will say, 'well, Iran’s gonna get all this benefit.' ... What is the benefit that the Iranians get that they didn’t have before? The answer is nothing."

@MarioNawfal So what was the point??

🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance clapped back at critics of the Iran deal: “What benefit are the Iranians getting that they didn’t have before? The answer is nothing. They don’t get anything unless they change their behavior.” Writer: Claudio x.com/clashreport/st…

@EricLDaugh I first followed this clown when just covered Florida politics. Now he’s just another paid Trump mouthpiece. Unfollowing him is going to be cathartic.

🚨 NOW: The price of oil is PLUNGING toward $74 PER BARREL following President Trump's peace deal, while the DOW SURGES back toward 52,000 Keep it going! 🔥 Prepare for gas to drop ahead of the midterms!

This is still the most shameful part of all this. 40,000 dead--and a goodly number of them because Trump TOLD THEM to go out and face the machine guns because "help is on the way".

Update: Help is not on the way

🚨 AWESOME! President Trump signed the Iran peace deal IN VERSAILLES, France TRUMP, before boarding the motorcade: "It's SIGNED — it's signed in Versailles! I just signed it!" 🔥🇺🇸🇫🇷

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil." April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need." June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."

@MattWalshBlog I'm sure the families of those 13 Americans who died will be thrilled to have this whole things just go away so we can focus on the economy.

I’m happy this dumb war is over and we can now get back to focusing on our own country. That is pretty much my entire analysis of the situation.
