when i worked on the hill, i was told to stay away from eric swalwell on my second day. that was in 2018. he’s been awful for ages.

Seems reasonably obvious that Iran was looking for an opportunity to institute tolls. Perhaps planning for that once they went nuclear. They are literally bombing their neighbors, executing their own people, and are holding the planet hostage. The world apparently expects America to unilaterally resolve the crises. A ground war is looking to be only practical, long term solution. If no one steps up, America should clear out let the tolling and other conditions commence. I suspect spineless Europe ends up paying the highest toll. The world has yet to realize that there is no going back. Iran is now a global pariah and will continue to exact costs until the planet gains the willpower to commit troops.

Hormuz is Iran's leverage. Iran will not open it for two weeks as a goodwill gesture because doing so: relieves the primary negative carry pressure on Trump, interrupts the normalization cascade at its most productive point, validates the coercive model Iran must not validate, contradicts the IRGC's morning declarations, and surrenders the November 2026 electoral pressure timeline. The Pakistan PM has created the right diplomatic architecture with the wrong central ask. The deadline extension request to Trump is viable. The Hormuz opening request to Iran is not. What Iran might accept instead: non-Hormuz signals that give Trump's TACO exit enough cover to extend the deadline without requiring Iran to surrender its primary leverage instrument. I'm not exactly sure what that is but we will find out in less than 4 hours (allegedly).

France is now closer to communism than the Soviet Union ever was.

A lot of noise out there, but the facts don’t change: a unified, government-wide effort ended catch and release. For over 11 months, USBP has not released a single illegal alien arrested at entry. BP stations are nearly empty. The results speak for themselves.
