Oz to pitch GOP senators on need for Medicaid changes

“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”

Mmm…the time stamp on this is 6/17/25, 12:55 pm.
Gee, my watch says it is now 6/17/25, 12:46 PM (Eastern time zone).
So is this a central time post?
Great catch. Your time stamp of your post also proves it.
Yup, it sometimes gets mighty confusing when someone in a different time zone posts a post in a different time zone and then someone from another different time zone references that post of a post , of a post, of a post, ……….!
Click on the link, provided on my post, for President Trump’s Truthsocial and see it for yourself what time he posted it.
I wonder why all the social media posts as well as MSM doesn’t automatically include a time zone stamp as well as a time stamp?
A couple weeks ago I posted from central time zone Alabama. The time shown on my post was eastern time. My thinking being CTH home office/servers is in eastern time zone.
We?
Yeah, that’s really the first thing that caught my attention!
Followed by “Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
I really don’t remember voting for this.
You’re pretty young to already be losing your memory, aren’t you?!? <grins>
But seriously, I certainly acknowledge your point and perspective!
I though we were going to focus on fixing our Republic not destroying another one. I thought I voted to leave Ukraine the hell alone on Day 3. I guess I am a sucker.
Guess that means you don’t call the shots.
Yeah well I hate being duped by a father figure.
Iran having nukes and routinely screeching Death to America is not a danger any responsible person would subject people he cared about to. You think he wants to run the risk of NYC being nuked because you’re afraid of being a sucker? I read a few months ago that Iran has hit squads out against Trump and yet he and his family bravely go out and represent the USA.
We/’re not playing patty cakes here!
The man can walk and chew gum at the same time. This was laid at his feet. I expect he will deal with it just fine.
“Read my lips”..
GOP snakes have wormed their way into Trump’s administration.
We know exactly where the so-called “Supreme Leader” is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114699621000737127
I would very much prefer to see an unconditional surrender of our traitorous House and Senate members to the (original) America First agenda!!!
.
Pehaps there would be no point, and it would only make the crazies crazier. If Supreme Leader is killed, there is a successor waiting in the queue. Unlike the Sunnis, who elect a leader, the Shiites believe that their Supreme Leader is the direct heir of Mohammed, and anointed by Allah (divine right), to lead the Caliphate on earth.
.
Thank you President Trump for instructing ICE to continue to deport all of these illegal immigrant scum including those employed at farms hotels and meatpacking. These industries have prospered from slave labor since Papa Bush. Its time for these employers to raise there damn wages and hire American Citizens. MAGA
Maybe the best indication Trump is doing quite well in the polls. Randi Weingarten/American Federation of Teachers and Lee Saunders, president of AFSCME are resigning from the DNC. If they thought demonrats had a remote chance (even with cheating…..and assistance from GOPrick RINOrats) of winning big in November 2026, they would hold their nose for about 17 months and ride it out.
Or Randi is getting some from David Hogg and is upset about his ouster. Sorry for the, “My eyes, my eyes” depiction.
A counter point argument to the “Iran can’t get a nuke” world view.
Right now Pakistan, China and NK have nukes. They have never used them even though the USA is their enemy. Is Kin Jung Un any less crazy than the Mullas? Why is that? Perhaps the idea of mutually assured destruction prevents them. Do you think the Mullahs aren’t aware that the deployment of a nuclear weapon would turn their entire country into a glass ash tray?
Nuclear bombs have been around since 1945 and at this point, the USA is the only country to deploy one (two). I am not a proponent of Iran getting nuclear weapons and we should prevent proliferation. But its a big jump imo from getting a Nuke to using a Nuke.
I hope President Trump lets the ME fight their own wars so that we can best focus on OUR war… securing our boarder and deporting the 40MM + illegal invaders.
.
The Shiite mullahs in Iran adhere to a particularly vehement and irrational jihad, and the lunatic proxy groups they fund and encourage are ready to die for Allah. Think: suicide bomber.
Ordinarily, even with evil, one can count on the other side nevertheless having self-interests to consider. When that’s not there, there is no deal-making, and it’s a very dangerous situation.
.
Pakistan and China are confirmed members of the nuke community.
North Korea is not.
Kim Jung Un IS crazy enough to tell the Chinese to bugger off if indeed they had a nuke. Kim Jung Un IS crazy enough to blackmail South Korea all the way to reunification of the Korean peninsula if he had a nuke.
Kim Jung Un wants to be his own little god over his own country – he has no ambitions to spread that beyond the confines of the Korea peninsula.
The mullahs of Iran, though, are a vastly different story.
They have a 3-step plan in place: 1) Overthrow the House of Saud (and the Sunni muslim world) to take possession of the holiest sites of Islam (Mecca and Medina); 2) Wipe Israel off the map, and in so doing, becoming the largest muslim caliphate/empire since the Ottoman Empire; and 3) Resume the global jihad against the non-muslim world, this time; under the Shia muslim banner.
Add to this that the Iranian mullahs ARE crazy enough to set off a nuclear exchange (sacrificing their own people), in the belief that doing so will bring their god and prophet back to earth…and this becomes very much a global concern.
The globalist EU, China and Russia know full well they are playing dangerously with fire in their dabbling enabling or support for Iran – they are enabling/backing Iran ONLY as a foil against the US. Iran accepts that backing in the effort to at long last strike at what they call the Great Satan – the USA.
China and Russia also know that if Iran is successful in such a nuke strike against the hated Great Satan…it will trigger a global nuclear exchange – which Iran wants in order to fulfill its apocryphal visions.
The Globalists don’t mind it, as they want the severe global population reduction which comes as a convenient consequence.
There are a great many intertangled webs of interest that want Iran to get the nukes and use them. There are also a number of intertangled webs of interest that really don’t want Iran to get the nukes. Think Israel being bed-partners with Saudi Arabia on this.
Many people point to Pakistan as proof muslims can responsibly possess nuclear weapons. They forget – Pakistan is Sunni muslim, and regards Shia-muslim Iran to the west as much an enemy to watch carefully, as Hindu India to the east.
So you’re willing to give Iran a pass on all the terror they sponsor and you’d take responsibility for one or more of our cities getting nuked.
I take comfort in the fact that our POTUS hates war, hates killing, but he’s not a weakling and everyone needs to realize he knows a lot more about the danger than we know.
How can you compare even North Korea to Iran?
As crazy as Un is, his society doesn’t produce suicide bombers.
Radical Muslims OTH relish self-demolition.
As Japan proved in 1945, a Kamikaze culture can’t be contained – they must be defeated.
“its a big jump imo from getting a Nuke to using a Nuke.” Not necessarily.
If you are a True Shiite Believer AND the Ayatollah (an honorific title for high-ranking Twelver Shia clergy) who believes the prophecy of your particular version of Shiite Islam then starting Armageddon in Israel with the A Bomb could be just the thing to do to fulfill the future your prophets foretold.
Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else.
You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts.
No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945.
I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears, and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.
I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!
As a long term resident of flyover country I can’t see NYC getting a patriotic decent mayor, but I’m wondering if this Mamdani guy is the beginning of turning our cities into what the UK is dealing with, where every single large city is run by the Islamics.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/new-york-times-leads-the-movement-to-stop-zohran-mamdani.html
The ideology of islam needs to be banned in the USA.
While I’m sympathetic to that position, a more practical approach would be to permanently close down any mosque that has any demonstrable ties whatsoever with terrorism.
He isn’t running. He is just an autopen for the ones making the decisions.
He has never run a government department or private organization of any size. As a state legislator, he has struggled to execute his own agenda,” the board wrote.
I don’t dismiss anything anymore, I remember being shocked that the Kenyan could suddenly go from total obscurity to the highest office in the land … didn’t see that coming. Ever since I am extra wary.
Muslims should be prohibited from holding public office, and for that matter from becoming U.S. citizens.
A Muslim cannot take the oath of office without lying, nor the oath for citizenship. Muslims are beholding to Islamic law. Yes, they can lie and take the oath. Islam allows lying to further the cause of Islam.
We can’t let that happen. If we allow Islamists to take over, we’ll be just like the Persian people. We need to fight this like it’s our last chance to keep America beautiful. If we continue to elect these people into official capacities and congress, they will win just like they have already won in the UK.
Remember “Death to America” is not just a slogan to them…..it is what they live and breathe for and they’ll do anything to accomplish it.
“These” people are not elected.
Big concern about this!
Leftist media is waiting to call anyone who opposes a representative of Islam a racist…

FBI gives Congress intel on alleged Chinese plot to create fake mail-in ballots in 2020
Newly declassified intelligence report partially corroborated but was recalled before it could be fully investigated, officials say.
17 Jun 2025
https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/fbi-gives-congress-intel-alleged-chinese-plot-create-fake-mail
FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden.
The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News.
Property taxes will go up to whatever the SALT deduction is because local Governments are corrupt (they will increase taxes to that limit)….. people wanting $40,000, or even $10,000 deduction will screw the rest of us with property taxes that are still somewhat lower.

Trump must remove the high Salt Deduction , or the rest of us will pay the price for NY GOP members nonsensical amendment to BBB. ($40000 per year Unreal)

FTA “What kind of Supreme Court justice is Amy Coney Barrett going to be? That appeared to be the question a new expose by New York Times hack Jodi Kantor attempted to answer. Published Sunday, the lengthy article features analysis of the Trump appointee’s SCOTUS record thus far, as well as comments from former associates and Court watchers on her jurisprudence and how she approaches legal questions. The goal, as it seems, is to decipher whether the Catholic mother of seven will follow in the originalist philosophy of her old boss (former Justice Antonin Scalia) or go the way of disappointing Republican appointees such as former Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and David Souter. But the answer isn’t clear cut — at least, not yet.
What is becoming clear, as further indicated by the Times report, is that Barrett is a justice who’s still finding her way on the nation’s highest court. While she has demonstrated an ability to adhere to originalist doctrine, her unwillingness to employ it consistently and hear cases that require its immediate application raise questions about what the remainder of her SCOTUS career will look like. But the reality is that Americans don’t have time for Barrett to spend years figuring out what kind of justice she wants to be.
Aside from Thomas and Alito, the other justices (including Barrett) have been reluctant to shut down this unconstitutional power grab. Every day the Court chooses not to act is another day the votes of Americans who voted for Trump are delegitimized. America needs Supreme Court justices who will faithfully uphold its Constitution as written — not politicians who make judicial decisions based on what looks good for their careers or policy preferences. Barrett has shown that she is capable of the former. Whether she decides to consistently stand by that jurisprudence and become the reliable originalist Americans need her to be, however, is up to her.”
Well I have already decided that she like the other women on the court think with their womb first!!! Can the Founder’s Constitution survive women on the Supreme Corrupt Court? I have my doubts! JMO

So here is a sobering thought I just had. If Iran has enriched uranium to 60% as claimed, then they certainly have enough material to make dirty bombs. What would happened if they loaded up their missiles with it and fired them at Israel? Would this provoke a nuclear response?
It should. We should have nuked China for biological warfare via COVID, and I believe we would still be on solid ground to do so.
So I guess we’ll see just how suicidal these Iranians really are

Good points.
I don’t get how unstable some of the conservative influencers are about Trump on (1) immigration, (2) war, and (3) free-trade. Did the past 10 years not provide any insight into how he operates? In a 24 hour window, frequent ass-kissers now call him a traitor, that he betrayed MAGA, etc.
Trump has a method to his madness. I stopped paying attention to what he says as the most reliable indicator as to what he actually believes.
He has an uncanny ability to use his media appearances and social media posts to cause deep-staters, warmongers, and globalists at cross purposes with his goals to constantly be off-balance.
He generates “tells” like a master poker player, and uses the media’s and people’s responses to calibrate where MAGA principle needs to yield to MAGA pragmatism.
He deals with domestic and foreign policy terrain as it exists, dispensing with the usual ivory tower debate as inferior to actionable maneuvering where he can continue to improve the playing field regarding the big three issues above.
Given enough time, the results follow.
Focus on Trump’s results.
You want illegal restaurant staff and big AG employees deported? Fair enough, but don’t lose sight that ICE is more active today than anytime in the last 4 decades.
You don’t like the optics over what Trump knew in advance of Israel’s preemptive strike? Fair enough, but he hasn’t deployed our forces in an active theater of war (yet), and his unbelievable restraint during his first term while surrounded by the likes of John Bolton and not going to war shows where his heart is.
Think tariffs are taxes? Fair enough, but look how he has sought to take a sledge hammer to business as usual with the globalists, as prices are going down at the pump and grocery store while generating trillions in investment.
Those with eyes to see and ears to hear are witnessing greatness.
