.Joe Kent is wrong - SHOCKER “The whole myth that Iran is full of like crazy suicide bombers & crazy jihadis, Is a LIE. The Shias don’t use suicide bombers." WRONG Hezbollah & Iran (both Shia) pioneered terrorist suicide bombing in Lebanon killing 220 Marines and dozens of other Americans at our Embassy and the Marine barracks. He also said they don't come to attack us here, well the US Embassy is American soil, so that certainly counts. Even if you just talk about Iran now they are still ruled by Twelver Shia theocrats who believe they need an Armageddon-like event to bring the return of their Mahdi to conquer the world. That's why they want a nuke Joe. What is more Armageddon-ish than a mushroom cloud. So I think an apocalyptic death cult qualifies as "crazy jihadis". How can the former Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center be this ignorant of major terror attacks that killed hundreds of Americans?

All former FIFA-certified referees raise your hands. 🙋 That's right I used to both play & ref soccer. Now I mostly just mock it. Until they mess w/ Team USA. This picture of the collision between Balogun & the B&H player looks awful, but it's complete garbage. Wrong angle to see what really happened. Balogun was closer to the ball and the B&H player came from his right AND behind initiating the contact. He caused his own suffering. The ref got it right initially as a no call. They were both playing the ball. Even in a sport known for pitifully lame flopping sometimes two dudes just crash into each other and do some actual damage. Doesn't mean there was a foul. The replay guy then saw an opportunity to take the Americans down a notch and the ref bought in and made an egregious red card ejection. If any call was made it should have been against the B&H player who came from behind and out of the sight line of Balogun. The outrage now is "How dare the Americans get this absurd attempt to weaken them overturned". Taking a player out of a once in a lifetime game and tournament should be an exceedingly high bar. This was not. The people pretending to care about the rules are really mad the Americans aren't getting screwed over. It's a common sentiment and all around the world hating Americans for being the Biggest, Baddest and Best is as much a national sport as Soccer Ball. I've lived overseas for six years and traveled to several dozen countries. Furriners love to hate on us. I'm not saying it's all underserved, I'm just saying it's not new and it's everywhere. I can't blame them, we're barely 250 years old and we have accomplished more than any country in history. We have invented more amazing things, freed more people from tyranny and lifted more people from poverty and that stings, especially for the Euros who think they own our history. They do, the part that we left and left behind. The part we are making now they can only watch and be chafed about. Because they can't even come close. So they were salivating at knocking a US star out of play on a BS call. Sorry Jacques Belgique, you're going to have to take on a full US squad. Good luck, I hope we make you cry some more in the game tonight.

Gaza Genocide is a lie. The Israel-haters & Piers Morgan hate to hear that but it's true. They had no answer for a lower civilians to enemy killed ratio in Gaza than the US had in Iraq or any other major urban combat. That's before you add the myriad war crimes of Hamas designed to get their own people killed. YES purposely. It's even worse when people incorrectly use the concept of proportionality i.e Hamas only slaughtered 1300 Israelis on Oct 7 so Israel can only kill 1300 in return. That is wrong entirely. Proportionality means Israel can only use the force proportional to the legitimate military goal. After decades of terror from Hamas the military goal was its destruction and complete removal from Gaza. Gazans put Hamas in power so when the inevitable blowback for the terror they helped build happened, they put themselves in the crossfire and Hamas made sure to hide and fight among them for maximum damage. The media and usual Israel-hating suspects invented the Gaza Genocide and the even more absurd Gaza Famine to attack Israel and sadly it has been far too effective. That makes it even more important to oppose it every chance we get.

President Trump greenlit strikes on Iran and I told Brian Kilmeade "I kinda like Operation Epic Finale, it's time to finish this regime off" The Islamic Republic can't be part of the solution so after this we should put the pressure on to squeeze them dry. An Economic Fury for the ages -Land and sea blockades, debanking, tariffs on their trading. partners, break their every bank. We want to create the conditions for a regime collapse. That will allow the Iranian people to replace them with a government that serves their needs. That is what the region and the world needs.

I don't share the view the assassination of Charlie Kirk had to be professional A 200 yd shot from a supported position is not easy but with a scoped rifle, not hard It was almost a miss barely hitting his neck Why not just a few more bloody inches to the right?

Reports of an IRGC leader getting a missile through his window. Might be us might be the Israelis, but it is definitely a reminder to the regime that they are not safe anywhere. I mentioned this was likely to start up again to Jesse Watters last week if they didn't wise up.

Candace Owens is sniping at the footage of Tyler Robinson shooting Charlie Kirk. She doesn't see a recoil in the grainy 10 frames per sec video from 1000+ ft away so I compared it to an HD vid from 5 ft away of me also shooting a scoped .308. I'm not even in a prone position like Tyler was which would make the recoil even less noticeable due to his whole body mass directly in line behind the rifle and in contact with the ground. Very unlikely to move period. You have to ignore so many truly obvious pieces of proof to keep this absurd conspiracy alive. But when you are a ghoulish grifter, you do whatever pays the most.

President Trump will not announce a war against Venezuela tonight The blockade shuts off Maduro's oil $$$ which ends his clout "His Generals will decide he's more trouble than he's worth & truss him up to give to us or go old school Pinochet style & give him a helicopter ride"

DEAL TIME My initial thoughts on the deal as described Good on the Strait of Hormuz No tolls No monkey business Good on no $$$ payments OK on removing oil sanctions TBD on Nuclear Dust POTUS says they have agreed to end their nuke programs but until all the dust is in the bin we can't call this a full deal. We also haven't heard much about missiles and proxies. But if those get wrapped up too then the whole effort becomes a huge win. I don't like having the nuke program flapping in the breeze while they have 60 days to rest and refit on top of the 60 days of the ceasefire, BUT If there was an easy deal to make we wouldn't be where we are. AND If they FA The FO this time around will make the Old Testament seem like a self help book. We were never going to get a deal we all liked and we were never going to go in and take out the regime root and stem. So, if this is the plan...I'm in. No Trust, All Verify.

.JD Vance explained some details of the deal to CBS. Many people are misrepresenting it maliciously, so let's clear some things up. NO the US will not pay Iran $300B IF Iran gives up all its nuke stuff then a fund for investment & reconstruction w/ Gulf & other $$$ is proposed. NO there is no agreement to unfreeze $24B now or at any point. IF Iran honors its commitments it will get sanctions relief. YES the US will be directly involved in verifying the nuclear material and program are destroyed. We may not be the ones who do the destruction but we will witness it and be part of inspections to ensure it is not reconstituted. There is no reason for all the caterwauling about reconstruction in Iran. Any deal was going to involve that and any money going in will be monitores. Of course the regime will steal some and we will be watching to ensure it doesn't get used for malign purposes. It's sad to watch so many people actively hoping this deal won't work and lying about what it comprises. As described this deal is a major victory for the US, the region and the world. If they follow through it could also be a return of Iran to the community of nations. If the regime doesn't abide by the deal they have made. Their days are certainly numbered. But this offers a real chance to secure the region and aim it toward prosperity.

Is this THE Deal with Iran? Sure sounds like it. I told Sean Hannity 🇺🇸 "as von Clausewitz said 'War is the continuation of politics by other means' but eventually the politics comes back into play" The military has set the needed conditions & now President Trump gets the deal he wants and can satisfy the strategic threat and our domestic politics at the same time.

Cut & Run is the "Strategy" from Piers Morgan & the defeatists. The US should leave Iran in control of both Straits & the nuclear dust. WRONG Regime Collapse is the RIGHT answer. Hit them hard w/ Operation Epic Finale & take out all the IRGC leaders we can. Not a US invasion but a crushing blow to the worst offenders. Then put all the other pressures back on. Blockade, Economic, Debanking and tell the world the Islamic Republic is past its expiration date. Call for a national referendum to allow the people of Iran to choose a government. To pick one that serves their needs not one that continues the Islamic Revolution. that has destroyed their country. Negotiations have run their course. Time the change the players and the game.
