The Game Plan
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
Day 148 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius. History is being made in the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2026.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He continues to make massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common. He does not show humility before men, but his actions show humility before God.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore. He is not afraid to call out our enemies.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours. He believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum. Lord please bring your power and might in the daily working of this sacred Nation you gave us.
Amen. Go God beat the devil.
Amen!
The communist never sleep in their attempt to steal elections and take over our country. Here’s their latest scheme:
Voting By Phone Is Already Here. Meet The Democratic-Linked Group Trying To Take It National.
The Vote-By-Phone Machine Comes For Minnesota
Minnesota is now the latest test site for one of the most radical election experiments in America: voting by phone.
Translated out of legislative jargon, Minnesota lawmakers are being asked to open the door to app-based ballot return.
This is not an isolated local reform. It is part of a national campaign.
The Mobile Voting Project, the group pushing this agenda, openly lists active campaigns in Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, and New York City. Its own materials say 330 jurisdictions have piloted mobile voting since 2018, while 13 additional states permit voters with disabilities to return ballots over the internet.
Bradley Tusk, the founder of the Mobile Voting Project, is a venture capitalist and political operative. He has deep ties to Democratic politics, including managing Michael Bloomberg’s 2009 mayoral re-election campaign in New York City and serving as communications director for Senator Chuck Schumer.
The organization’s CEO, Sheila Nix, also comes from the highest levels of Democratic politics. Nix was Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign chief of staff, Jill Biden’s former chief of staff during the Obama administration, and a former deputy assistant to President Obama.
The case being sold in New Jersey is the same case being sold in Minnesota and elsewhere. Low turnout. Local elections. Accessibility. Modernization. Trust the app.
The security case is much weaker.
In February, more than 20 computer scientists published a rebuke of the Mobile Voting Project and VoteSecure, arguing that claims about the technology’s security are “untrue and dangerous.” The review stated that “VoteSecure isn’t a complete, usable product, it’s just a ‘cryptographic core’ that someone might someday incorporate into a usable product.”

What an absolute nightmare to even contemplate, like electronic vote systems and mail in votes aren’t bad enough, let’s see how low we can go, by adding the loss of the secret ballot to the widespread cheating.

to ruinationfor years when it comes to election fraud.“Iran will NEVER get a penny of American tax payer dollars full stop never” – Jd Vance
+++
“Full segment of JD Vance discussing Iran deal with Sean Hannity” (17:08 mins)
Really????
The US secretly approved a financial and maritime arrangement between #Qatar and #Iran, under which billions of dollars were paid to Tehran in exchange for free passage for Qatari tankers and ships through the Strait of Hormuz, three diplomatic officials now confirm.”
“The secret US approval, which the sources said was granted about a month ago, dovetailed with Doha’s interest in opening a direct channel of communication with Tehran, which began to tighten after the ceasefire. Qatar, fearing a renewed Iranian attack on its facilities after one of its gas installations was attacked during the war, sought to buy security quiet.”
“Some of the payments were disguised as fees for tankers passing through Hormuz, and a broad credit line of up to $1 billion was also opened for the purchase of goods through Qatar.”
tps://nitter.poast.org/JasonMBrodsky/status/2066545674561208394#m
^^^^^. THIS IS WHY IRAN HELD OUT FOR SO LONG
CHARLOTTE… those pesky Iranians are not stupid neither as diplomats or militarily..
Not so sure I buy this story in the form it’s being presented. Sounds wrong. Maybe some enterprising reporter will ask Pres. Trump or JD about the truth of it all.
Not so sure I buy this story in the form it’s being presented. Sounds wrong.
Right! We must trust nothing unless we see it or hear it from the top!
e.g.
From Truth Social and President TRUMP:
“Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!! President DJT “
Right. Always wait until President Trump speaks, Truth Social.
See my comment above relating to the sources. Just part of Team Slavery’s effort to stop Trump’s masterful strategy, in an attempt to salvage some part of their ME operation.
That’s two days in a row you posted communist talking points.
You trust them over PDJT?
Allrighty then….
Din’t know the details, but if allowing Qatar some short term relief/protection (and broader energy relief globally) which “did not involve a penny of US taxpayer funds” was in exchange for long term peace in the whole region and a final deal between US and Iran…
I don’t have a problem with it.
It also has nothing to do with the current agreement moving forward which only took effect when it was signed.
Yes, see my comment above on sources.
Jason M Brodsky writes for Foreign Policy magazine, the mouthpiece of the CFR, and is connected to the Wilson Center. He is an operative for deep state narrative control.
The source for this is Israel Hayom, which is just another branch of modern Mockingbird operations like the NY Times here.
Don’t fall for the current operation trying to mitigate Trump’s successful campaign to end the Iranian forever war.
Just so I understand, was the alleged payment from Qatar? They paid Iran? In other words, the alleged payment was not US money?
I ‘ll take you Really with a Seriously. Just blows the mind the propaganda believed
Why should their “neighbors” have to pay them anything? All Iran did was try to destroy their “neighbors.” I totally expect Iran to botch this up before it even gets off the ground. Since when do we negotiate with terrorists and reward them for their terroristic acts? Same goes for Hezbollah and Hamas embedded in Lebanon and Gaza (and Qatar). Squash them right out of the gate.
Details are scarce at the moment, but recent reports indicate that the money in question, is from seized Iranian assets, and will only be released in phases based on them meeting requirements of the deal.
Keep in mind that the propaganda nozzle media will spin this as “us” sending billions of dollars to Iran.
Don’t fall for the BS.
The goal is the removal of the threat, not keeping it in service to narratives designed to enslave us.
Trust in Trump.

SORRY EVERYONE! MY BAD……….
Dr. Ben Carson’s words. “Values endure because they are taught. Principles, character, personal responsibility, respect.” We as a people have failed. It is up to us to once again teach. Children watch, listen, learn through action of those they observe.
That’s correct. When adults cower in fear to call a spade a spade, those who intend to distort will vocalize it as something else. Shame on those who have remained silent as evil spread it’s poison.
Neanderthal like types with Neanderthal ideas
To destroy the West, destroy real pride in real heroes that do real things for real people, with a love of God. Instead it’s all fraud or pretend giving us shallow wholly created nitwits who propel themselves along like parasites drawing the life essence from it’s host, We the People.
“You don’t know what you got until it’s gone” If not for God giving us President Trump we’d already be subservient to these glo-bull-ist demons, losing our God given rights while slipping away as a failed footnote in history.
Instead this wonderful country endures as witnessed by the FIFA fans, being blown away by the goodness of average Americans just being ourselves.
God Bless America!
Note: That above pantheon must be utterly destroyed, getting back to creating heroes based on actual achievement as opposed to checking boxes of sex, color, immorality, victim, et al
About the genius…remember there is a Congressman who said she is the reason ‘there are instructions on shampoo bottles’.
That was Kennedy whom I love!
Check out his voting and whether he’s called for a recess.

Dishonorable Pompeo tried liberating Americans from his boss. Didn’t work either.
Pompeo pure uniparty deep state protected class. A deep state operator working against the best interest of American citizens.
The populist left and populist right agree Pompeo is a traitor or otherwise a criminal, however for entirely different reasons… and yet he still walks free.
I’m sick of having a protected class. God willing, that protected class shield will break soon.
.. he should be sent to permanent exile to glorious Kyiv…
Touché!

The large Fischer Tropsch plant in Qatar suffered serious damage from attacks and has been shut down . Estimates say it will take more than a year to get it back online.
Because of this, Shell, Mobil 1 and other brands had to reformulate their engine oils which were dependent on this plant that makes oil from natural gas. Shell owns Pennzoil and Quaker State.
I dont care for Qatar. I hope that bunch of Islamists suffer
i Wonder how that will Affect Acidity and Formulation Differences

Billions were paid for free passage of Tankers and ships, disguised as fees for tankers passing through.
Do people even think what they are saying?
Billions were paid after the cost / benefit analysis was completed by the U.S. and Qatar.
While unpleasant, likely the lesser evil outcome.
Yeah, but disguising paying for passage as paying for passage?
Or paying for free passage?
Somebody is just full of nonsensical contradictions.
Agreed. Disgusting. I think it’s awful.
Lesser evil. Like voting for a uniparty republican instead of the even worse commie dem in a general election.
….. real damage done to both sides of the war …..is horrifying….as the result …we see “unpleasant” deals… publicly known- cost of war just until 05/30 ….$ 100 billions..how many ppl died we will never know….
Politics ain’t beanbag. What is better reaching your goal, or holding onto your principles and losing. In a football game I’m all in for the latter, but in a match to the death–and that’s what we’re in–I’m all in on whatever it takes to survive.
We heard you the first time.
Twice in one thread? Tsk.
NAME the “diplomatic officials.” 🤔
I’m curious, why you work so fervently against Trump’s Iran policy with deep state narratives.
Sounds a lot like the UK plan.

Josh Dehaas: Carney’s plot to censor the entire internet
(The Liberals are using the excuse of protecting children to usher in an expansive censorship regime)
Excerpt:
The Carney government signalled for months that it would pass a law to protect kids from online harms, including by banning access to social media for those under age 16. What we got instead may be the biggest threat to free expression in decades: mandatory censorship of social media and AI.
The Safe Social Media Act, Bill C-34, aims to keep kids from signing up for TikTok and Instagram, which is bad enough since it means teenagers will be censored.
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/josh-dehaas-carneys-plot-to-censor-the-entire-internet
Both are copying Australia.
Where it isn’t working because under 16 kids are smarter than bureaucrats.
I wondered how they were going to enforce it.
By making over 16 year old adults give them all their personal information, what websites they visit and monitoring everything they post.
You have to realize this is NOT ABOUT PROTECTING KIDS, but is about SPYING ON YOU!
Absolutely, it’s working just as designed.
They need to know the difference between ‘can’t’ and ‘don’t’ when dealing with children.
Well, it goes for adults too.
All of these communist governments uses the same playbook. The only ideas they have is for absolute control and absolutely nothing that would benefit their citizens.
The UK government ALLOWED organised Muslim gangs to groom, rape, torture & traffic vulnerable white working-class girls while dismissing the victims & calling them “white trash.”
Police were also involved & even drove these girls to their abusers locations. They participated & covered it up. There has still been no real consequences or justice.
Many of these girls have taken their own life & others live with crippling trauma & PTSD.
What you allow will continue.
https://nitter.poast.org/TruthFairy131/status/2066656602112016490#m
B@ST@RDS !!!!!
What you allow will continue.
Exactly!
Where is the outrage, the rage against allowing such animals to be in the country let alone to stab and rape whoever they want! This happens in countries with no God given 2nd Amendment to bear arms!!! Praise the Lord I live in America!!!

According to local reports, an African migrant has raped a homeless woman behind the ILAC centre. The woman was found naked & freezing in a tent belonging to an African male who was arrested at the scene.

1) Castrate the african mozzlem r@pist.
2) Put about 10 bullets in its head.
3) Dump in the local trash pit.
4) Hunt down MORE african mozzlem r@pists.
5) Repeat Steps 1, 2 & 3.
10 seems excessive. Let’s stick to 8, which 1911 model 45s can carry. Should work.
To me the sweetest gun to shoot is a 1911 in 9mm! JMO

BREAKING:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to PERMANENTLY CUT OFF U.S. aid to Somalia after the country demolished a warehouse holding 76 TONS of American food, per Daily Wire.
GOOD.
Cut off the gravy train. Rubio said it perfectly. Foreign aid is NOT charity. It is U.S. TAXPAYER MONEY and it must serve the AMERICAN national interest.
Caring about human rights and humanitarian need does not mean writing blank checks to governments that disrespect American generosity and destroy aid meant for starving people.
America comes first. Every dollar must advance OUR foreign policy, OUR security, and OUR interests.
No more endless aid. No more waste. No more disrespect. This is leadership.
https://nitter.net/QuantumGuard17/status/2066597838071660642#m
Ill-hands Omar has gotten rich here in America. Let her feed her home country….
Throw her in boiling water and make soup out of her
Serve the soup to her brotherhusband.
Will she float ?
Some turds float, some don’t…
The big ones usually rise to the top, kinda like a septic tank! 💩
Send her as$$ back to Somalia.
I thought she just made a mistake of ‘000’ on her financial disclosure? (sarc)
This news is months old.
Cut off the ability of those Somalians here to send large sums of money back to Somalia too. Limit it to something like $500 per quarter. They already have gotten millions from America in the fraud schemes that were never uncovered. Stop the money flow from America. It’s a shame too because there are real people suffering over there, but they never get to see any of the money or use it for helping the truly needy.
Eff that. Drop them off in international waters and move on.
That was back in Jan 2026, that Rubio cut off aid to Somalia.
include Somaliland ??
….include Somaliland ???????
While you’re at it, send all of the illegal, Somalian parasites back to the third world sewer they came from. NOW!
Freedom is better than idolizing. IMHO
I choose the rock on the left as an example of the USA’s founder’s sentiments.
I’d rather ‘stars’ than ‘hearts’ when it comes to ‘country spirit’……….
I’m all for unabashed, even offensive, America love. Those offended can move out.
Never idolized a sports figure growing up? I’m 65 and there were many in that generational time and after.
Just killed a second raccoon tonight, in the inner run, after the chicken’s food. Two shots each. .22 pellet nitro pisto with suppressor, barely subsonic. Hard second heart shot on both, shooting through 1/2″ 23 awg weld wire. Managed to not to make any holes in the roof on the first shots.
I respect the critters, as long as they respect my boundries.
I agree, but you don’t want raccoons around, especially if you have pets or live stock.
What Transmittable Diseases Do Raccoons Carry?
Rabies: Spread via saliva and causes muscle pain, dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, delirium, and irritability.
Raccoon Roundworm: Also known as baylisascaris, this parasite is found in the pest’s feces and induces unpleasant symptoms like liver enlargement, loss of muscle control, blindness, and disorientation.
Leptospirosis: Bacteria spread via excrement which causes fever, headache, chills, muscle aches, jaundice, and potentially kidney or liver failure.
Giardiasis: Gastrointestinal ailment that induces bloating, vomiting, indigestion, and loss of appetite in those afflicted.
Salmonellosis: When ingested, the Salmonella bacteria brings about abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Canine Distemper: which is a viral disease that affects their respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.
I had a racoon problem in my FL abode, years ago…it cost, then, over 10k to remedy the problem…
One of my shelties came to me with a diagnosis of “Giardia”…cured with antibiotics, but common in the rural areas, but an expensive treatment.
They are an expensive nuisance. Thank you for doing your part!
In particular, if you ever encounter a normally-nocturnal varmint in the DAYTIME, you should kill it from a very safe distance and immediately notify Animal Control for guidance. It could be rabid.
Take a long shot, and make sure your aim is true. Do not approach even the now-dead creature. Call for instructions.
Rabies is a hideous disease, always fatal, that is human-transmissible. Any discovery – or, potential one – is a very important public health matter.
P.S.: In an urban setting, get a photo from a distance if possible – do NOT approach! – and the exact location, and where it seems to be heading. Then immediately(!) call Animal Control.
Their trained officers will take it from there. KEEP AWAY, including any curious pets.
Good shot!
They are called Trash Pandas around here. Rabies cases and chicken attacks that just ripe off their heads. At least the foxes take their whole thing.
Raccoons used to go into our backyard pond, catch the fish, eat just their heads and leave the bodies.
What’s with eating the heads only?
We’ve had a juvenile black bear show up in our neighborhood. We back up onto a large forested area of the Ozarks. Had to take down all bird feeders, suet and hummingbird feeders.
He was rummaging through recycle bin and trash cans.
About 90 pounds. Evidently the young males get kicked out of the den this time of year and have to fend for themselves.
Pain in the ass. Doesn’t seem to be afraid of me. Used bb gun, sling shot and finally larger rocks to chunk at him. Pretty ineffective.
Bear spray and air horns are next. Last resort would be rock salt in shot gun from a distance.
Illegal to kill a bear unless in fear of your life or during bear season in the Fall.
Although small, a 70 pound bear attacked and killed a 72 year old farmer on his tractor in 2025, here in Arkansas. That bear had brain lesions.
Another man was sleeping on his cot in a national park in 2025. A black bear killed him and dragged him 180 feet from his camp.

That’s basically what .22 ammo is for: varmint hunting. I use a semi-automatic conventional rifle, which I also like to use for target shooting as practice. I want to reliably take the creature out with one merciful shot. (You can buy targets with life-size pictures of varmints … kinda fun.) I have never tried pellets. Do you like them better?
What does this have to do with Presidential politics?
Varmint hunting? 🤷♂️
Half the stuff on here doesn’t apply to presidential politics. I saw pretty pictures of food the other day and no one complained, why do some people get picked on and not others?
I mistakenly posted something for the Presidential thread on the open thread. It happens.
Slow news day here on the Presidential thread I guess….
Ok I’ll chip in….trying to kill a mole running under our yard. Practically wore out my hands trying to remember how to set the scissors traps.
I would much rather have a mole than skunks. My husband has trapped six skunks in last three days.I wish you luck trying to trap it.
Anyone who uses the public contract cloud models knew something was up, like a massive target solution calculation.
Pity. Israel would have finished Iran off
They still might, Iran has no ability to stop Israeli attacks. But this should end the talk of the USA being Israel’s proxy.
…but it won’t.
FIFY
Israel would have finished Iran off years ago if the USA would just get out of Israel’s business and let them do it…
definitely a picture worth a thousand words and them all patriotic.
Beautiful.
I’m baffled at Rubio’s silence on this “deal”
Considering this was him 11 years ago in 2015 calling exactly what would happen with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Like a play-by-play, it’s a mind blowing watch.
Give yourself 3 minutes to watch this and tell me that Rubio would be happy with this deal
Wow.
The SOS has better information today and understands that President Trump’s foreign policy is wiser than the IC bull crap the SSCI is fed by the UK/MI5/CIA war mongers.
Seems to me Rubio has been pretty quiet since he started looking out for Cubans. While the lenses are often changed from one person to another, it appeared to be another group has the spotlight. Rubio would be a definite player and will speak when its his time.
Marco is now looking out for the Cubans. Jeebus, some of you…….
Rubio’s role and duty is: “Secretary of State.” He can express his misgivings, if any, in a private, secure room to his boss. It would be a specific violation of his Office – and its Mission – to speak publicly contrary to the President. Most especially now. He won’t do it. He must not do it. He knows that.
This is Rubio warning about Obama’s Iran policy plan.
And actually, this is the same way Trump talks about the failed Obama Iran policy.
Rubio also tells you in this old speech why IRAN CAN’T BE ALLOWED TO HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
Trump and Rubio are in sync.
Rubio’s past guidance is aligned with Trump’s current Iran peace plan. He was probably one of the architects Trump listened to.
Perhaps because this deal (which we do NOT have all the details yet) is vastly different than the Obozo deal.
Even the biased block heads at CNN are starting to get it:
CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Admits One-Party Rule by Democrats Has Been a Disaster for California
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/cnns-fareed-zakaria-admits-one-party-rule-democrats/
During a recent broadcast, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria did a monologue about California and how the state has been failed by the one-party rule of Democrats.
He points to the state’s failure in education, the inability to build housing, and the massive homeless problem, among other things.
Zakaria uses all of this to explain the anger of voters and the rise of Republican candidates like Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt.
Democrat Scheme to Sabotage Incumbent Alaska GOP Senator Dan Sullivan by Adding Primary Challenger with Same Name to Ballot FAILS
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/just-democrat-scheme-sabotage-incumbent-alaska-gop-senator/
A Democrat operative worked to register a man named Daniel J. Sullivan as Dan S. Sullivan (the incumbent Senator’s name) as a Republican primary challenger.
The decoy saboteur, Daniel J. Sullivan, is a Democrat and has a team of Democrats working for him, but they registered him as a Republican to cause chaos and confusion during Alaska’s August primary.
On Monday, Alaska’s top elections officials said the ‘random’ Dan Sullivan is not eligible to be on the primary ballot this summer.
Kudos to Alaska for stopping election cheating.
This tactic brings “deception” to an all time despicable level.
Am glad Alaska is reacting properly.
Never underestimate the depths that DemonRats will sink to in order to steal an election. The end always justifies the means. They demand power and control and won’t accept anything less.

The Mullahs and the Lefty-Left
“Until you are willing to harm the left more than they are willing to harm you, they will win. It’s really that simple.” —Aimee Terese on X
https://www.kunstler.com/p/the-mullahs-and-the-lefty-left
One expert but well worth reading the whole article:
It would be distasteful most of all to the mass formation lunatics of America’s Lefty-left “Resistance.” Anything that advances our country’s actual interests is hateful to them. In fact, when you think of it, the Lefty-left is in thrall to the same sort of world-ending chaos as the mullahs and their IRGC henchmen. The mullahs have their vision of the post-apocalyptic Islamic utopia and the Lefty-left has its dream of a post-revolutionary socialist nirvana where everyone is equal (except those who are more equal — and get to boss around the rest of us.
The left always want to be ‘taken care of’ while the right wants to ‘take care of’ the US systems of government.
God Help US
Pretty sure Kunstler reads or peruses The Conservative Treehouse. He often echoes Sundance’s research.

Good morning America, how are ya?
58 and sunny in Kankakee…due for big weather tomorrow afternoon…
Cool and sunny in WNY. Temps are going to stay in the high60s to low 70s all week. Hope everyone has a peaceful day.
Same weather here in northwestern Ohio, although rain – never unwelcome – is predicted for tomorrow.
So, it might rain here…weather predictions for two days or so are usually, but not always, on target. Anything loner, 7 or 10 days, are guaranteed to be wrong, and are always “revised” or “updated.”
Hence, I am not worried about predictions for 2030 or 2040! 🙂
56 and rain here in Fraudopolis, Mn. Where the convicted fraudsters are being given light sentences because we wouldn’t want to be considered harsh and racist..
Good morning for N Minnesota. Lite rain this morning. Much needed.

Gabiev was reported to have served 120 days in jail after pleading guilty to “criminal vehicular homicide.”

Until the blindfold is put back on; illegals will always be protected.
The blindfold metes out justice equally; without it the courts can skew in favor of the flavor of the day that needs a ‘helping’ hand.
God Help US
Equality distributed unequally is just as damaging as ‘social justice’ is to ‘legal justice.’
America allowing the evil to flourish just like Canada and the rest of the world. I wish people would wake up. Good grief.

PLOT THWARTED:
FBI Busts Anti-Israel Terror Cell That Planned To Attack Trump’s White House Birthday Bash With Explosive Drones, Snipers
https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/2563086/plot-thwarted-fbi-busts-anti-israel-terror-cell-that-planned-to-attack-trumps-white-house-birthday-bash-with-explosive-drones-snipers.html
Drones laden with bombs and a sniper team. Early reports imply this was a domestic based threat, not foreign.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-disrupts-alleged-explosive-drone-plot-targeting-white-house-ufc-event-officials-say
FTA,
One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
“Israel” would be a convenient excuse for Satan’s favorite outcome: murder, destruction, and mayhem. And, yes, such a thing can only be plotted in America by Americans.
23 people discussing plans on Signal?
Who are these people? Antifa? Another FBI led entrapment? Any foreign involvement?
FBI found talk on signal. Talk includes planning and dislike for Jewish money in politics.
No reports of finding explosives, drones, rifles, guns, ammo, etc.
Unless more compelling information comes to light, this is just another FBI setup for PR and public manipulation. Assume first, FBI is corrupt as shit and can’t be trusted whatsoever.
Ran across this article this morning. The Supreme Court ruled that the Statute of Limitations has run out for the crimes committed by the FBI/DoJ related to the Russian Scandal fabricated vs President Trump in 2016 … when the Courts rejected Carter Page’s appeal.
In a word … Justification will be found and created as the Roberts Court will never allow evidence to be presented on this topic.
Same will be true for any thing related to 2020 Elections, Impeachments 1.0 & 2.0 and Biden Auto-pen era.

Steve Bannon ( who I faithfully followed for years) has become insufferable.
We, as a country had SO MANY wins so far this week and he chose to bury his show yesterday in negativity, snark and IMO a continued obsession with Israel. Is he not following the abuse of Christina’s in Nigeria and South Africa?????
The tiresome cold open could have been tabled for videos of the Soccor videos, the glorious wrestling event at the White House and the many tributes to President Trump celebrating 80 years on God’s Green Earth.
Sundauce ~Is it possible you and your extraordinary team could do a deep dive as to what is up with Steve Bannon?
i don’t get it… anyone else on the branch have any insights or thoughts to share?
Thanks in advance ~ completely open to any theories as to what is going on with him. 😳
I don’t think its hard at all. Bannon is and always has been an opportunist

Steve is hit and miss.
Right on some things. Wrong on some things.
He did do a lot to help the MAGA / America First movement and getting Trump into office and he deserves credit for that.
Couldn’t agree more. I finally turned him off also. I used to enjoy his guest who have somehow just all are over the damn top.
Amazing story:
Jacob Miller’s story is one of the most astonishing survival cases from the American Civil War.
During the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863, a Confederate musket ball struck him directly in the forehead, entering between his eyes.
Remarkably, the bullet did not penetrate deep enough to instantly kill him, although the injury was severe enough that he was presumed dead on the battlefield.
Against all odds, Miller regained consciousness and eventually made his way to safety.
The wound never fully healed, leaving a permanent opening in his skull for the rest of his life. Over the decades, pieces of bone and bullet fragments reportedly worked their way out through the wound, including fragments that emerged many years after the original injury.
Miller lived another 54 years and became a living medical curiosity.

BioClandestine
The next week is going to be an IQ test.
The clickbait influencers and morons will be squealing that the sky falling, Trump caved, we lost, we are paying Iran, etc.
If you believe any of these people over Trump, you have no pattern recognition and failed the IQ test.
We just spent the last 10+ years being shown REPEATEDLY that the media lie about EVERYTHING. Meanwhile, Trump has been proven right about damn near everything, from the existence of a Deep State, the Russia hoax, the border, human trafficking, corruption, Iran, the Dems, the Left, the media, the 2020 election, voter fraud, and everything in between.
If you trust Iranian/Israeli propaganda over Trump, you failed the IQ test, and the rest of this is going to be extremely painful for you.
BioClandestine another.
There are quite a few similarities between Iran and Ukraine.
Both are CIA/Deep State proxies, that housed rogue WMDs created by the Obama administration.
Nuclear weapons in Iran. Biological weapons in Ukraine.
This means that both Trump and Putin are hunting Obama, and cleaning up his global network of rogue WMDs. Obama offshored US technology/weaponry, and gave US MIL grade nuclear/biological weapons to the Deep State families. That’s what both the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran are about. Obama’s global WMD terrorist network, that the Deep State intended to use to start WW3 and implement total global domination.
Russian MIL literally accused Obama of crimes against humanity at the UN for the biolabs in Ukraine, and Trump has openly accused Obama of giving Iran nuclear weapons. Both Trump and Putin want Obama and his administration for trying to start WW3 with rogue WMDs in Iran, Ukraine, and perhaps other places as well.
The current global geopolitical landscape revolves around the crimes committed by the Obama administration.
Taking pride in America is not a new idea……………many of us always have.

Tommy Robinson has just walked out of court with a victory that is already being called one of the most explosive free-speech moments in Britain.
The terrorism-related case against him — linked to his refusal to hand over his phone PIN to UK police — was thrown out after the judge ruled the stop unlawful and reportedly said Robinson had been targeted because of his political views.
This was not just about a phone. This was about power, politics, journalism, and whether the state can treat someone like a national security threat simply because it dislikes what they say.
Robinson says he refused to unlock his phone to protect journalistic sources.
The state treated it as a terrorism matter. The court, according to Robinson’s reaction, saw something far more disturbing: political targeting.
Then came the detail that made the story explode worldwide: **Elon Musk reportedly helped finance Robinson’s legal defense**, stepping in where others stayed silent and turning the case into a global battle over free expression.
Robinson thanked Musk publicly, asking why it had taken an American businessman to fight for justice in Britain.
“First of all, thank you, Elon Musk,” Robinson said, before adding that he was targeted because of his political beliefs and that counterterrorism police were allegedly used to get access to his phone as a journalist.
For supporters, this ruling is a brutal warning to the establishment: if terrorism powers can be used against controversial speech today, who will be next tomorrow?
Critics will still call Robinson divisive, but this case has forced a bigger question onto the table — do rights only apply to people the government likes?

8 Dead After B-52 Bomber Crashes at Edwards Air Force Base in California

White House Suspects NY Times Reporters Have Situation Room Recordings
Senior Trump administration officials are convinced that two New York Times reporters have somehow obtained recordings of White House Situation Room meetings, which would represent an astounding breach of security, Axios reported on Sunday.
“We’re afraid some of our most sensitive conversations were being recorded,” a White House official told Axios. “And we have no idea which ones.” 🤷🏻♂️
so the question is who was wearing the wires? Doesn’t have to be administration either. There are ss agents, and probably the great and evidently evaluable staff.
Polygraph everyone in the meeting room!
Perspective on Space X value. Space X at $400 per share (up from $135) and actual money made by the average investor getting in on the IPO a few days ago. Naturally, Space X being new stock offering, it does not offer dividends. I doubt Space X will be offering dividends anytime soon. Does Tesla even offer dividends? So, the only money made by the investor is the actual stock price and if they sell.
And yes, I know the stocks I have that I mention here have concerning corporate views of the general public (especially Americans) and are quite globullist.
I have a number of shares of AT&T from my mother and grandmother. My grandmother gave me 5 shares when I was born (as did my 2 brothers when they were born). I think I got 50 shares in my grandmother’s will in 1981. I then got quite a few shares in my mother’s will in 2011. I have always done dividend reinvesting (DRIP). I get more actual money every quarter (which automatically buys more stock) than most any retail Space X investor. And their money, even the new millionaires and trillionare, Elon, is only realized when they sell.
Yes, I have been fortunate that my maternal family members have provided me considerable amounts of stock to include Verizon, CSX, Coca Cola, Duke Energy, Comcast, and some others.
And there are thousands of companies like Sears who were top companies of their day and then became worthless.
Sears simply priced themselves out of business, became worthless due to poor decisions by upper management.
I walked into a Lowes a few days ago and saw racks of clothes. I thought Sears! Here we go again.
I am astonished that Amazon didn’t step up to rescue the Sears & Roebuck brand, after so shamelessly copying its playbook.
