WHY WOULD ARAB NATIONS INVEST IN IRAN?
Because of “economic tether strategy.” This is also referred to as, “peace through economic interdependence.”
Here’s how it works:

This is one thing that The Donald is really good at. It also adds more pressure to the Mullahs, and if they turn back by choosing the death and dismemberment option, it aids Trump in the narrative war.
Mockingbird operations are demonstrating just how effective they can still be, with the ‘disappointment in the Iran deal’ narrative being deployed and gathering up quite a few doomers in the process.
I think President Trump’s “foreign policy” consists entirely of “If there is an ocean beach (in a war torn or disputed or totalitarian country) then where are the Ocean Resorts, like North Korea, Gaza, Cuba!
I find your comment to fall in the category affected by Poe’s Law.
Poe’s Law states that without a clear indicator of intent, parodic or sarcastic expressions of extreme views can be mistaken for sincere beliefs. It originated from a 2005 discussion about creationism, emphasizing the need for clear markers of humor in online communication.
Exactly, still can’t tell if your comment was sarcasm or not.
The FBI thwarted a terror attack on the UFC event at the White House, with explosive drones and snipers. The conspiracy stretched across 12 FBI field offices and involves possibly 23 participants. Five in custody so far.
Here’s the pool: what group was involved? My money is on antifa.

My money is on the FBI.
FBI found talk on Signal. Talk includes “plans” and dislike for Jewish money in politics.
No reports of finding explosives, drones, rifles, guns, ammo, etc. or anything that could actually do anything to harm anybody.
Unless and until there is much more compelling evidence presented, this is just another FBI frame up for PR and an attempt to present an illusion that the FBI isn’t a domestic terrorist organization.
Assume first: FBI is corrupt and can’t be trusted whatsoever. The FBI exists to protect the deep state, anything they may do to benefit American citizens is an unintended side benefit of protecting the deep state.
As it turns out, it was the mother of one of the plotters that called law enforcement on her son. That is how the plot was discovered.

It sounds like we may have a radicalized group out there. Social media makes nationalizing it easy.
Remember the two boys, anarchists, that did some attack and then committed suicide? They had Nazi slogans and similar in their pics and posts. It was a white male and a hispanic male.
For decades society has been marginalizing males and especially white males. The left has been screaming about white supremacists and toxic masculinity, it was only a matter of time until they succeeded in producing an anarchist group of disenfranchised males.
I bet they are in the anarchist, burn it all down group though I’m sure the media will label them as right-wingers.

Could be. My husbands first choice, Now I’m reading it here.
Eleven years ago … quite a ride!
Thank God for President Trump!
Couldn’t stand him then, will walk over glass now to defend him.
We thought the only option was Ted Cruz (😬). Thank God, we were talking about that aloud and a guy overheard us and said, “No!! Check out Trump… he is saying the right things!”. I went online looking for him and saw him jumping the ditch going to a rally in CA, so I said, we need to hear what he’s saying, he seems determined….He has all support ever since.
I mistakenly supported Cruz as the lesser of two evils, because of certain actions and quotes by Trump that demonstrated legitimate concerns of which I will not go into now; I did not change my mind until his actions once he took office in 2017 showed that my concerns were misplaced and that on that score I was utterly wrong.
I thank God for delivering us this warrior, and giving us one more undeserved opportunity to save ourselves.
Jumping the ditch was great. He looked committed!
Nothing stops him. Even bullets.
One of the things that amazed me about Butler was the pic of his hand as he lay shot. My hands would have been shaking and I think most people would say the same (at least people who aren’t used to getting shot at).
But his hand was completely still. He is one hundred percent committed to the mission. Nothing and no one except our creator can keep him from completing his work.
I was in the camp of “no way is he winning the nomination and becoming President. He’s just a rich entertainer. He’s not serious.” Then I started listening to him more and more and I began to believe him that he was all in for America.
I could not stand Hillary so I listened to all the republican nominees, but kept coming back to Trump. Went to his rally in my hometown and was finally fully in on supporting him.
I still am firmly sitting in his camp and will remain there, until he finishes his term. I hope he accomplishes all that he wants to.
I didn’t pay attention to him because I didn’t care for his “New York” style. Then he threw his hat in the ring and I listened to the debates.
He and the founders are some of the greatest men ever known. And I’ve loved every minute of his larger than life persona and hyperbole. No one else comes close.
He said early on that he brings people together. It’s true. And it might be one of the hardest things for us followers to learn from him.
John….stay strong there will be lots of glass on the road to midterm…..
Yes, there will be, people accustomed to unrestricted power are like cornered animals when that power is threatened.
Loved Donald Trump then, and love him even more now.
President Donald Trump. A great blessing from the Lord to our nation.
Same here.
Amen to Jesus.
Tell ya the truth, I was going to sit it out. Not one to vote for the better of two evils. My daughter in law talked up Trump and one listen did it.
I thought Donald Trump could save New York by becoming their Governor. Then he declared he was running for President . Alrighty then. I was in.
I liked both Cruz and Trump in 2016. Two weeks before the election i decided I needed to pick one.
I was a little worried about the Trump unknowns. However, the MAGA movement was solid. I decided that since Trump was the leader of that movement he deserved my support.
Been in love with his policies ever since. And, honestly…his mean tweets don’t bother me one bit. Other politicians hide behind their surrogates….Trump is just open about his thoughts. I love it.
I was leaning Cruz in that primary, convinced that he was the most “conservative” option. This, of course, was before DJT taught us all about fake Republicans, fake news, and fake everything else. The man slowly worked his way into my good favor through his personality and sense of humor. My high school- and college-aged kids started falling out of their chairs laughing at his performances in the debates, which became appointment viewing. I started hearing from friends that this non-politician — this anti-politician — was by far the best option, and I started believing that his election was possible. Then he destroyed Megan K and Rosie O with one deft dagger-thrust demonstrating that irrepressible, fast-on-his-feet, good-natured humor that’s become his trademark, and I was all-in. I’ve been defending and promoting him ever since, even in hostile company. And not a day goes by when I don’t pray intently for his divine protection and that he receives the graces he needs to restore our constitutional public and Christian culture. MAGA!
“It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Superman”? No!!!

It’s interesting how Lady Bug Lindsey referred to JD as the “architect of the deal”.
JD is being set up as the scapegoat.
You still here, fruitcake? Ad rem is demonstrating a lot of patience with you.
Fruity Tooty, troll bot.
Rooty got the booty….
Yay! The latest and greatest act of CTH self-cleansing.
Scapegoat for what exactly?
No, he’s giving JD one more opportunity to learn the ropes. That’s what a good boss does — he gives subordinates opportunities for growth.
Because of his age, President Trump knows he must develop his subordinates if his legacy is to be carried on. I hope JD is up to the job. Same with Rubio, but I have more confidence in him. Mainly that is because President Trump keeps Rubio close to him.
Footy may be right. KilmeDe said on the `radio this M that it is a terrible deal according to his contacts. He said Rubio is against it and so is Hegs1erh.
I am interested in the chess moves at play.
Nice try but no banana.
Your attempts to turn good news into crap is legendary.
A radio guy said Rubio and Hegseth said? Are you serious? Did they send the message to the radio guy via carrier pigeon?
I don’t base my thinking on something a guy on the radio says. Or something my neighbor says. Or on something a person posts on a website.
What I do is gather information from multiple sources and look at where the information comes from. President Trump is an excellent source of information. He also has an amazing track record.
If you want to read an excellent article on the deal, read the Coffee & Covid article on the Iran deal — his point is he doesn’t care about the details because re: Iran President Trump has already managed to nix OPEC and make us a great oiling producing country, among other things.
I don’t have the link, but someone posted the article in this thread today.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/doge-this-tuesday-june-16-2026-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=202293254&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=hg5mm&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
Random thought:
Rubio has been omnipresent on every foreign issue…
Now we haven’t seen him in days.
Could it be that he’s against the deal to be finalized on Friday?
The Secretary of State will speak when and as instructed by the President. Especially when sensitive negotiations are being attempted.
Any comments about how he may “feel about it” are idle talk.
As the second most senior diplomatic officer of the United States, it is not his job or duty to “think about it” publicly. It is: to speak and act for the country. If he has any concerns, he discusses them only with the President, in a secure room.
The Government speaks with a single voice, and he is one of exactly two or three spokesmen: the President, the Veep, and himself.
Nope, not “idle talk”…
Go look at some of his past statements, many made years ago, long before Trump was the President…
Rubio has long known that Iran lies like hell, and NEVER keeps agreements, and has been VERY vocal about it… He obviously also knows it will be best to keep a low profile and not comment on the present “MOU”…
What puzzle lots of ppl ..if administration is really for peace in the WORLD( I believe VSGPDJT is) why Marco is not more ” visible ” ??? but we see only real estate/broker agents to flying to Moscow and Pakistan…… !!!!!did someone choose JD to deal with Iranians and BB….
If Rubio is not “visible,” it is because the President has so instructed. It is very easy to see why. These are trying times.
Ignore whatever some “source” says or speculates about him. Listen only to what he officially says. The actions and instructions of the Secretary of State are, of necessity, ##TOP SECRET##. When he speaks, even “off the cuff,” he speaks for the Country. You will never know what discussions he is having, apart from what he chooses to disclose to you.
We’ve all seen it. Sometimes, there’s the witty, friendly, outgoing person. And sometimes, the stone-cold “Poker Face.” He wears both very well. And he needs both in his crucial role.
Or deployed on a double secret mission.
UPDATE:
Rubio was in Evian, France today at PDJT press conference.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the things Rubio is working on is Cuba.
That’s one of the comments that make you go, oh yea I should have thought of that.
Until I heard Rubio speak about it I didn’t realize how complex Cuba and the Caribbean are regarding drug money and the previous funding from Venezuela. It seems President Trump and Rubio want to clean up Cuba and that whole area.
Rubio and his family must be so proud to have this opportunity. It shows good things can happen if you show up every day and work hard and keep going even in the face of set backs.
Rubio at the G7, just saw him bro hug Zelensky which seemed odd.
Hopefully that is a “sorry it’s all over for you-you did your best” broment
Rubio has been a puzzle concerning Ukraine for a bit for me. While President Trump says no arms, Rubio says we’re arming them.
Very likely… Rubio has been trying to tell us for years that Iran lies like hell and can’t be trusted…
I reckon he (Rubio) thinks it is just better to keep his mouth shut at the present time…
Actually I think he’s been quiet because its a JD time. Rubio has got a lot of wins under his belt and this one seemed to go to JD. Even President Trump let him lead.
One possibility is that for awhile President Trump kept Rubio in the spotlight.
Yet for his legacy to continue after President Trump’s time, it needs more than one person. President Trump may be trying to teach and prepare Vance.
From body language and how he keeps Rubio close to him, I think President Trump trusts and respects Rubio’s work. But to carry out his legacy in the years to come, it will take more than one man ((or woman). Great and brave as she is Tulsi is also only one woman. We can’t forget that President Trump set up her position to do what she did.
The reason I believe he is thinking about his legacy is not for himself. I think it’s because he’s committed to his mission and wants to see it continue and bear fruit. He really means “make America great again!”
MAGA!

He was at the G7 with President Trump. Very plainly seen on screen.
Trigger warning for doomers, incoming good news.
Yesterday’s Coffee and Covid delivers an excellent summary of recent good events.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/happy-birthday-mr-president-monday
More good news from SDs article yesterday.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/06/15/the-grievance-industry-in-america-has-a-world-cup-problem/
And repost of my comment yesterday.
This is certainly cool, but it’s not just cool, it’s MAGA cool.
Think what happens as all of those reports are blasted across the media of the world, bypassing narrative control. Think about when these people return home and spread their newfound joy through their individual business and social networks; how many ‘how was your trip to America questions” are going to be met with 5 minute bubbling effusiveness. How many ‘yea but what about all the racist MAGA bigots’ questions will be answered with there were none, we’ve been lied to.
An estimated 1.25 million people will visit here for the world cup, multiply their first hand experience with the people they interact with now and when they return home. Add in the interactions with everyday polite Americans and a nice little bump in retail sales approaching mid-terms.
How much money and effort put into the building of the ‘Trump and MAGA are the new evil’ narrative has just been wasted?
This is the most popular sport in the world, over 5 billion people will see some form of this America gushing; that’s 5 out of 8 people in the world will see some form of this, bypassing social media and government algorithms, media and IC narrative controls, heck it might even get a few lost souls here in the US to pause and go, ‘you know we don’t have it so bad after all.
Can you say cognitive dissonance? I knew you could.
Add in the development on the Iran front and it’s another bummer day for doomers.
👍 🎯 You and Jeff nailed it!
And at the risk of being an insufferable smart-ass (whaddya mean “too late” 🤣 ) I’ll add my last sentence from yesterday:
“How ironic will it be if the utterly despicable FIFA’s North American money grabbing exploitation circus, combined with Elon’s purchase of Twitter, result in the Beautiful Game being the catalyst for European salvation?”
But your global human interaction factor vastly outweighs even X’s impact. 💯
It would indeed be ironic, and I think demonstrates that God has a sense of humor.
Today’s Coffee and Covid is for all the doomers falling for the deep state mockingbird operation on the Iran deal, and is just as good:
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/doge-this-tuesday-june-16-2026-c
“The minute corporate media gets its sweaty, panic-mongering hands on the details of this deal, all we are going to hear is how horrible and gyppy it is. That’s the narrative they’ve already written. And that’s exactly why I am pre-debunking it right now. I am boldly taking the position that I do not care what the terms of the deal are. As I said yesterday, the terms don’t even matter, because when you compare it to literally every other Middle East conflict we’ve ever stumbled into, the Iran operation was shorter by an order of magnitude and billions of times better for America.
Just count up the benefits we already know about. The Iran operation ended OPEC— within two months! It got all the fractious countries over there on the same page, made a joke out of the Useless Nations, starved China of oil, put America on top of global energy for the first time in history, pressured the Europeans, et cetera. None of our previous Middle Eastern adventures did anything helpful at all; they just made everything worse.
So, here is my warning. If anyone dares me to defend the terms of some Trump-Iran deal that corporate media and Team Candace call horrible, here is what I will do. Remember, I warned them. I will say that’s fine, please compare it to all the other Middle East peace deals that other presidents have negotiated.
Re:
please compare it to all the other Middle East peace deals that other presidents have negotiated.
Did bran done get a deal on the 20 yr. Afghan war?
-documentation and the civilian people in Afghan helping the U.S. were left behind (for the Taliban to find )
-U.S. developed Bagram air base was abandoned by the U.S.
-people were hanging onto a departing U.S. plane during take off
-U.S. soldiers died, via bomb, near the Bagram air base
-a U.S. drone attacked an innocent vehicle -that did not have the bomber.
And (allegedly, supposedly c-dem favored) the media does not run the above information on a repeat, propaganda cycle to help lock it into the minds of u.s. citizens….
(because, allegedly, the media does not want to hinder c-dem pursuit of (non) democracy. )
imho
p.s. the complaining of high gasoline / diesel prices and affordability,
might be looking for a new complaint…
( and since no society, economy is perfect….the complainers can always find something, and exploit it … nothing new …)

Great article! Thank you for posting it.
Don Surber: Victory in Iran
https://donsurber.substack.com/p/victory-in-iran
This is worth a click – if only for the picture
“Trump did it with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman AND Israel on our side.”
Mr. Surber is always a good read.
I appreciate his writing, but I do not share his optimism. If “nothing changes” for the Iranian people, then nothing will change for anyone who surrounds them – or, who tries to send oil tankers past them. The only way to stop this threat is to militarily destroy it.
The only way to change the direction of the country is to topple “the only leaders the young people have ever known.” I would point out that a young man standing in front of a tank in “T-Square” had only known one government, too.
I think that history will show in a very short time that Trump’s ever-optimism is misplaced. He can sign an agreement with someone who purports to be a senior Iranian government official, but there is no single “government” in Iran right now who can meaningfully “sign” anything – and make it stick.
However, I will adopt a “wait and see” viewpoint. The people who worked to engineer this thing are neither beginners nor Fools. I respect their attempts, but am not optimistic.
I have always been pessimistic when it comes to our government, but because of Trump’s amazing success in pummeling Team Slavery so far, today is totally different, because he has different goals and a completely different MO to reach those goals.
It does not matter if there is a legitimate Iranian government official or not to sign the agreement; it does not matter if there is a single government or not; it does not matter if the agreement is honored or not; none of it matters, and this is the beauty of it.
What choices does the IRGC have? Trump has limited them to two: agreement, or the optional death and dismemberment plan.
What do any of the other players have as an option besides get behind the Trump plan besides none?
Read this and bring yourself some peace of mind:
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/doge-this-tuesday-june-16-2026-c
Hi Mike. I enjoy reading your comments. I do not profess to have political savvy. I cannot comment on ‘right way / wrong way’ approach.
I do, however, balk when I read ‘the only way’.
I hearken back to the days of erector sets and leggos. You cannot build anything with just one or 2 pieces. And, if memory serves, the building in progress often has to be taken apart and started all over again.
IMHO – ya gotta start somewhere.
And re: ‘wait and see’ .. I read once that President Trump is the best Project Manager ever. We observers don’t know what’s going on ‘behind the scenes’. Other observers, like John Stark see hints of more.
I don’t know anyone who has that magic crystal ball on the future.
I also wonder about our ability to topple the IRGC and/or the Islamist religious fanatics.
I think the population of Iran is a little over 90M and I would not be surprised that 10% aligns with the current regime. The IRGC are ruthless and have no problem killing any and all of the remaining 80M. The remaining 80M are without weapons or strong leadership that I can tell.
Anyway, I don’t think bombing the regime out of existence will work. I think it will take boots on the ground. This would be a very bloody high casualty war on both sides. It would not be like two armies fighting on the battlefield. We could win that war, but we don’t have the stomach for it.
This is all speculation on my part and I sure don’t have the knowledge to justify my opinion, but I just wanted to throw this out. Maybe what President Trump is doing by weakening their military capability and breaking their financial capability is the best way to go no matter how frustrating it is.

BREAKING: Details via federal arrest affidavit reveal that a California man named Michael Alan Thomas was one of the alleged organizers of the alleged UFC White House terror plot. Feds say he admitted he believes the U.S. government is run by elites who sacrifice and eat children, had involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, and are protected by President Trump.
Investigators took screenshots of his Signal chats in which details of the plot were discussed and maps of the UFC event were shown with suggestions on where snipers should be placed. Feds also recovered rifles & ammo.
Sources tell colleague
@davidspunt
those in custody are American citizens snd there is no foreign nexus believed to be at play.
Cont reading full thread….
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2066893167543083196.html
Michael Alan Thomas is one administration too late.
He apparently didn’t get the memo letting him know that leftists always say the other side is doing what they do.
I dunno, but this is beginning to look a lot like the Gretchen Whitmer playbook.
It was his mother who discovered the plot and reported it. So, not the typical FBI “sting”.
If not yet, maybe just wait… far too many hold-overs still in the FBIie yet to be unmasked; literally hundreds at least – more like:
“… resisted a demand by DOJ leadership to turn over the names of FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases, **a group that included thousands of agents**….”
This group is who should be questioned FIRST… connect the dots – disgruntled formers coaching disgruntled actives… I would not be shocked
keeping their heads down but so put-upon and “feeling stressed” at their jobs now.
Heads maybe not so down as they intended.
{ https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5904492-fbi-support-network-launches/ } nonprofit to aid agents facing ‘consequences of upholding their oaths’
“… The FBI Support Network will offer legal assistance for those facing discipline, counseling to those “asked to violate their oath and core values,” and will be speaking out against alarming FBI actions.
“The FBI’s ranks still swell with so, so many good people who endeavor to do the right thing by their country and oath of office. … When they get an order to go against what they know is just, they have a choice — and that choice can carry significant consequences for their career and their families, and Americans’ liberties,” Michael Feinberg, a former assistant special agent in charge at the bureau who will lead the group, wrote in a blog announcing its formation.
“It’s time for those of us who also once carried credentials, badges, and sidearms alongside our FBI colleagues to offer tangible assistance when they are faced with the choice between an order and what they know is just, and to help them when they have to weather the consequences of upholding their oaths,” Feinberg said.
The network will be housed by the Justice Connection, an alumni group of former Justice Department employees which offers similar services.
Its board includes Brian Dugan, former assistant director of the FBI’s training division, Michael Mason, former executive assistant director for the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch, and Brian Driscoll, former acting director of the FBI.
Driscoll, a career agent who was tapped to lead the agency during the presidential transition, resisted a demand by DOJ leadership to turn over the names of FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases, a group that included thousands of agents.
Driscoll was later fired, suing the bureau alongside two other terminated employees, alleging they were dismissed in what they called a “campaign of retribution.”
“It’s time for those of us who served our country with the FBI to offer our assistance to the special agents, intelligence analysts, and the professional staff who are under attack, and FBI alumni have formed a group to do it,” Driscoll said in a video announcing the group and encouraging agents to reach out for support.
“Those facing these unprecedented times are not alone.”
At least 45 agents have been fired under the Trump administration, while a larger pool have accepted buyouts or retired from the bureau.
Yep, a government imagined, created, funded, managed, staffed and planned ENTRAPMENT. With Andy McCabe gone, I was hoping those Entrapment days were behind the FBI.
Well couldnt the President use FISA 702 when its approved to look at the data of the few that were there?
The President can also obtain a 4th-Amendment-compliant warrant . . .
Another recall:
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/deadly-listeria-outbreak-sparks-expanded-cheese-recall-across-multiple-states
“Clover Hill Dairy of Mechanicsville, Maryland, has agreed to voluntarily recall every cheese product it makes, including ricotta, cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack and other varieties, according to a Sunday announcement from the Maryland Department of Health.”
“Health officials said eight listeria infections and one death may be linked to the recalled cheese.”
“ The bacteria can be especially dangerous for young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. In pregnant women, listeria can cause miscarriage or stillbirth, according to the FDA.”
Unfortunately, “bacterial contamination” is an omnipresent issue in the food-preparation industry. (Including, for that matter, in your local restaurant: sometime read the very long and detailed list of line-items on that “health department inspection” results form, which your local establishment just glowingly passed.) The industry immediately responds to it with recalls: best to destroy a lot of food that doesn’t have a problem, to catch that which does. Your local community likewise responds with regular and sometimes unannounced inspections, while restaurants respond by carefully attending to their business every day.
Despite best efforts, nevertheless, “bacteria are very persistent.”
“Food” is one way to make a whole lot of people “very sick, very fast.” Everyone takes it very seriously.
How about the Supreme Court refusing to hear the case brought by Carter Page against Comey and the rest of the DC bastards? There is no clearer case of someone who was wronged by the Deep State than Carter Page. FISAs issued under false info, doctored email by Clinesmith, etc. There will be no consequences paid by these traitors, unfortunately.
Or no going out on a limb that SCOTUS doesn’t have to.
Gee, who has oversight of FISA? Oh, Chief Justice Roberts. There is your answer.
Tru Dat! Or George Papadoupolus who was also run through the “National Security” wringer.
Trump: Contents of MOU will only be released after it is signed “some time after Friday.”
There’s Miss Lindsay, ever ready to throw a wrench.
I consider that precaution to be reasonable.
Given the “extremely flammable nature” of all of the parties, any premature releases would be . . . “problematic.”
I hope that Mr. Trump, the eternal negotiator, proves to be correct in his incredibly earnest efforts. I am therefore curious, and skeptical, but certainly willing to wait.

But they couldn’t find the people who were dumping ballots into drop boxes for the 2020 elections.
Apparently, it was those who are tracking that stole the 2020 election.

The E. Jean Carroll Saga Is Darker Than You Think
I remember Sinclair well as I was closely following the Obama nomination. Obama had some serious issues with his eligibility and the stories being spun about him. The research done to find all this was like reading a crime novel. Sinclair was a major character in all of it and Obama should have never been allowed to run let alone be elected.
Interesting comment about JD Vance’s understanding in this article by John West.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman has denied former Milwaukee Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan’s motions to overturn her conviction or grant a new trial, upholding her guilty verdict for obstructing ICE. The latest ruling on June 16, 2026, rejected her motion to reconsider based on a conflicting Fourth Circuit decision, distinguishing her case because ICE was still in the investigative phase rather than executing a final deportation order.
The case is now moving to sentencing, with Dugan facing up to five years in prison, though experts suggest a non-violent sentence with no prison time is likely given her clean record.
That is BS. How many of the J6 people had clean records but were thrown in prison? Another example of the two-tier legal system.
Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool
The left is going nuts about TRUMPS $14.1M investment to repair it and make it beautiful-It has turned GREEN 😱
They are so delighted to report this as wasted money and incompetence. Another Trump failure.
I have no idea what it will take to resolve this issue, but I imagine it can be fixed. If that indeed is the case then the left will go silent never to be heard again on this subject.
They just look for anything and everything to make our President look bad. These are very sick people.
From what I have read, they knew this would happen and prepared for it ahead of time. Something about the old pipes and the algae way down in them from so many years of not being attended to. This was in a post I saw yesterday from a govt. official and the contractors. Left propaganda on an exaggerated scale by the media and the dems as usual. Anything to try and say Trump was wrong and messed up again just like they always try to do. This is a fixable problem, part of the contract it said and will be taken care of.
It is, of course, unusual that the pipes within an aquatic structure would have algae in them, because it is likewise unusual that no one would have done anything about it [for years]. To remedy the problem, you simply increase the amount of algaecide. Until all of the plumbing has been thoroughly washed out.
Ongoing: “appropriate doses of algaecide” will be required indefinitely. As is the case with any outdoor aquatic structure. As with your home swimming pool.
AFAIK, the National Park Service is tasked with doing this. But, obviously, when the thing was “losing 40,000 gallons of water every day,” they stopped wasting money on chemicals.
I have no experience with reflecting pools but have to ask why wouldn’t the contractors have treated the problem before emptying the pool? No matter. The Left has been given its moment of joy. Let them bask in it while the algae is taken care of.
Amen and Amen!
may all Treepers have a good afternoon and a peaceful good evening….
Live long & prosper.

UFC Counterprogramming
Teen accused of planning UFC fight attack at White House turned in by mom
An alleged plot to target the Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the White House in an attack involving drones and snipers over the weekend was thwarted by the FBI after a teenage suspect’s mother tipped off authorities, according to court documents.
A federal law enforcement official briefed on the matter told USA TODAY that at least 14 young adults and possibly some even younger are suspected of allegedly having plans to travel to Washington, DC, from states including Ohio and Texas with the intention of causing harm.
One of the suspects involved was 19-year-old Tycen Proper, according to court records obtained by USA TODAY. His mother first alerted authorities when the family grew concerned about his behavior online, recent firearms purchases and plans to travel, according to a criminal complaint. USA TODAY has reached out to Proper’s public defender.
Proper told investigators that a group planned to stage a demonstration outside the White House, fly small drones laden with explosives to detonate outside the arena to force the crowd to evacuate, and act as snipers to shoot people fleeing the event. Targets included wealthy people and politicians, Proper told investigators, according to a criminal complaint.
Searches of Proper’s phone revealed chats in the app Signal that included planning similar to Proper’s description. A primary chat had about 19 people in it, according to the complaint. Smaller chats also had four or five people in them. Some members were given roles, such as shooters at certain locations, investigators said.
After the attack, the group planned to flee from the White House and travel along the Potomac River to escape, according to the complaint.

Christine Bish was asked about Shifty but what happened???
Joe Hoft posts.
“I was questioned. I cooperated. But the focus was not the heart of the Schiff evidence.
The focus shifted toward Bill Pulte, Ed Martin, and whether I had communications with people connected to the investigation.
So my question is simple:
Why was I subpoenaed and questioned, but not allowed to fully testify about the Schiff records”

FBI disrupts alleged explosive-drone plot targeting White House UFC event, officials say
Signal chats allegedly revealed 23 people discussing pre-operational activity
The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., officials told Fox News Digital.
Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.
A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.
The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody. Court documents identified the suspect as 19-year-old Tycen Proper.

And here for comparison is the Trump family.
“For the money we spent on this “costly war,” we could have added 25 Somali childless daycare centers.”
From political article “Victory in Iran – Trump did it with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman AND Israel on our side.”
by Don Surber
“… Charges include conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, interstate threats, interstate stalking, assault on a federal officer, and destruction of government property.
Of the 15 defendants, 12 were arrested on Tuesday during coordinated HSI raids, one was already in custody on separate charges, and two remain at large.
In February, 37-year-old Wagner was hauled out of a Minneapolis apartment building in a dramatic pre-dawn raid by heavily armed DHS agents after a series of unhinged social media rants where he urged his followers to arm up and “hunt,” “cripple,” and “prosecute at the barrel of a gun” ICE and CBP officers.

After a considerable list of just how much worse crime is in Baltimore than the rest of the nation, the question is asked:
“Does that sound like a safe city to you?”
And the Dim mayor’s response is:
Franklin: “Safe to me and my family members.“
That an excellent encapsulation of the Dim mindset. Absolutely no connection with the people, their only concern is themselves. Of course he and his family are safe – they have armed guards 24/7…

“It can, and I consider that the minor war. Iran’s a big one, but we have that little pinprick out there that constantly rears its head, and that’s Hezbollah,” Trump said before blasting Israel for “fighting Hezbollah too long” and for killing civilians with indiscriminate attacks on apartment buildings.”

“… Remember how DOGE worked on a technical level? DOGE agents invaded every major federal agency and office. They linked all the important databases. They synchronized all the critical records. They mapped the payments, contracts, recipients, approvers, and contractors. They forced the big agencies to standardize on a single email platform.
Throughout 2025, they fought and won lawsuits to link Social Security, Treasury, Medicaid, and ICE, so checks won’t go out to dead people, and illegals can’t get welfare or tax refunds.
In other words, DOGE tied federal agency databases together, providing the White House with a level of real-time visibility that had never existed before. In particular, DOGE made it possible to follow the money. Over about twelve months, years of deeply buried activity became a searchable evidence trail. Now, DOGE systems empower Trump’s Fraud Task Force. That’s why Democrats fought DOGE so hard.
🔥 NSPM-12 just launched the same transparency process, but this time for the intelligence agencies.
…
Now, suddenly, Bill Pulte is the acting Director of National Intelligence. And within days of getting that job, without announcement or fanfare, he was handed NSPM-12. Consider that a coincidence if you like.
But Bill now sits at the political apex of the IC while a strictly worded memo forces agencies to hand over detailed maps of their most sensitive systems.
Just like that, Bill became entitled to receive a list of everything the agencies are quietly squirreling away in “prohibited access” type programs.
…
All this falls under the indisputable logic of cybersecurity in an age of artificial-intelligence singularities. It is an irresistible demolition crane. And DOGE-superstar Bill Pulte just got the keys.”
