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 154 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!
Amen
Amen. Go God beat the devil.
Amen
Amen
Thank you Val1.

HAPPY Monday everyone!
How about those two USA World Cup victories!!! It’s beginning to feel like the Miracle on Ice back in the day as foreign tourists flood the American heartland and experience what we take for granted.
None of the goodness we are witnessing occurs by happenstance….
Let’s all please take a knee and pray for Our PDJT.
NEVER has a POTUS been confronted by SO MANY ENEMIES, both foreign and domestic, at one time as he continues to reorder Our Great Nation AND THE GLOBE to the benefit of humanity.
He is OUR Saul after the Road to Damascus, imperfect, but touched by God’s Light!
The Reflecting Pool maladies are a microcosm of the myriad challenges Our Lion faces EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. And yet he PERSEVERES for OUR UNITED STATES!
Never forget the Divine Covenant from which our Glorious Declaration of Independence and ensuing singularly unique Constitution were forged…. One Nation Under GOD!
Let’s all celebrate the goodness in the restored and renewed rise of the American Beacon of Light that offers HOPE and aspirations for ALL nations and persons under Our Creator’s Domain! 🙂
Amen to that. Praying
Amen Happy boy
(How about those two USA World Cup victories!!! On the side do you know if any of our players were born here in the USA?+sarc)
Yes, m, read ESPN. They had a great article about Alex Freeman… His dad is a NFL legend! 🙂
Antonio Freeman’s OT touchdown catch in 2000 against the Vikings elicited Al Micheal’s legendary: “he did what!?” (Go-Pack-Go)

Closed. Open. Closed. Welcome to the Hormuz Loop.
A ceasefire signed Friday, broken by Saturday night. The strait closes, talks begin, violations follow, and the cycle resets. Here is why the deal was engineered to fail, and who profits each time it does

All the Cards: The U.S. VS Iran’s Regime in Switzerland – What We Know
A play by play reconstruction of the first session of the Lake Lucerne Summit, June 21 2026, where a battered Iran reached for blackmail and a fake walkout while the United States held every card.
https://www.osint613.com/article/all-the-cards-the-u-s-vs-iran-s-regime-in-switzerland-what-we-know
Thanks for posting this link, Charlotte99. There’s a lot of conflicting garbage out there.
go to…. moonofalabama.org or whatdoesitmean.com…for eyes opener news….
Great sources sejmon, thank you.
Yeah. Intentionally so. Much of it laying bare previously hidden hostility to Trump.
Did the Iranians snub Vance? That was the first report. But later reports are of intense meetings.
Is anything reported ever true?
.. all this “conflicting”/hostility/snub news..is to disorient/spin heads of 3rd party you know who is it…..
Thank you for that Charlotte99. If only the majority of the media would perform like the traditional media is supposed to, the world would be much better off. Sadly, what too many outlets do is act as the propaganda arm for the left. YouTube has been allowing some folks to post AI BS about how Iran is hurting our Navy and Air Force. I think those lies are dangerous and should not be allowed and have complained to YouTube about that regularly. I hope the FCC is paying attention to this situation. However, I won’t be holding my breath.
President Trump Won!! All we need to know!
The open source intelligence (OSINT) site seems to be a good source for real time information. Impressive operation.
Thanks for linking their site.
Iran is Iran, infested by Shiite extremists (mullahs, clerics, imams, and clingers) who would be unemployable anywhere else in the contemporary globe. Just ask the Sunni nations…
The Marquess of Queensberry Rules don’t apply here, so we need to recede to Play Ground Rules, which means FAFO!. 🙂
Socialism for terrorists? Just like public school for kids year ’round. And me, like a schmuck, just paid for daycare when I was making minimum wage working for a doctor.
If you look upon the Islamic Republic as a draconian, oversized Short Bus for fascist societal underachievers, misfits, and malcontents who are spurned by the majority Muslim world and incapable of enjoining with polite company, you can see why you would never trust the IR with taking care of your treasured goat, much less a precious human being.
Britannia, their financiers and overlords unleashed this bastardy, Satanic septic tank of State-Sponsored domestic, regional, and global Terrorism as part of their Great Game.
TERMINATE FIVE GUYS EYES IMMEDIATELY for the benefit of humanity and all we hold dear! 🙂
Definitely NOT your goat
Exactly, watch their tells closely, ignore their words.
I find it hard to believe Iran can do a thing about keeping the strait closed. How would they? US has already escorted many ships out of there according to what Pres. Trump said. So why does anyone give credence to anything Iran says about closing the Strait? Why does the media give it any credence and not get called out?
Same people who believe zelensky is telling the truth.
Media hates our President so …
Well a Oil supertanker is worth about $10-$20 billion and the cargo about $5 million and owners will have a hard time getting any insurance or very expensive insurance and they don’t want to take a chance of a missile getting through and hitting them. So fiscal risk will keep some from transiting the strait. The ones that have been in their for months are more likely to take the risk as they are losing a lot of money just sitting there.
warmongers..will be defeated…and MAGA firsters will win…..
I find it amusing that ‘iran’ thinks that they have a “That Was Easy” button to ‘open and close’ the SoH on a whim.
😂 🤣
President Trump Won

UPDATE: The Iranians remain in Switzerland, and talks continue at this hour, a U.S. diplomat told Fox News.
“Negotiations have been going in earnest all day,” the diplomat added. “Robust discussions on all elements of the nuclear deal are ongoing.”
Cont…
Robust, my derriere…. ANY discussions about a nuclear Iran are sine qua non. In Farsi that is translated to: “NOT IN YOUR LIFETIME, MOHAMMAD, OR THAT OF YOUR GOATS OR THE CAMEL OR CARPET YOU RODE IN ON…….”
@Happy-because of you my life became uncomfortable….NOT!! I was about to drink my coffee while reading your translation of Farsi but I have learned to wait until after reading and laughing. You see, my wife spent all of Fathers Day cleaning the house and if I had stained the chair I’m sitting on and the carpet with coffee? All privileges would have been cancelled.
SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE FIRST, PF! My beloved dearest is constantly cancelling my privileges. My life is like continuous Hogan’s Heroes reruns where Col Klink is denying prisoner privileges!!! 🙂
Lindsey Graham Says If Iran Deal Fails, Trump Will Take Strait of Hormuz “By Force” and U.S. Will “Control” It
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/lindsey-graham-says-if-iran-deal-fails-trump/
Sen. Lindsey Graham issued a warning during a Sunday Face the Nation interview, saying that if President Trump’s new diplomatic effort with Iran fails, the United States will take control of the Strait of Hormuz by force.
Bless his heart! LindsAy has the freedom to say whatever he wants as a US Senator, but he is NEVER the one to back his rhetoric when the bills come due.
In the immortal words of OUR Theodore Roosevelt: “NEVER SPEAK LOUDLY WHEN YOU ARE CARRYING A SMALL STICK.”
at least I THINK Teddy said that! 🙂
Lindsay Madam 🤡 is carrying a bubblewand from Disneyland. He apparently could not find a small stick.
Squeak like a girl and carry a bit bubble wand.
Lindsay thinks a bubble wand is a big stick so he squeak like a girl.
I prefer…”And the steed upon which you arrived.”
No way to know what is going on inside Iran, but here is another alleged report about the internal power struggle…
+++
The Iran Watcher 🇮🇷
@TheIranWatcher
🚨 A sign of a Ghalibaf-led coup inside the Islamic Republic? Parliament has been suspended for over 100 days, with no end in sight.
At the center of it is Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, who has emerged as the regime’s most powerful figure and a key advocate of the proposed agreement with the United States.
According to regime insiders, parliamentary oversight has been effectively shut down.
Ministers cannot be impeached, challenges to the government are being blocked, and even routine parliamentary functions have reportedly been frozen.
At the same time, Ghalibaf appears to be consolidating power while crushing anti-negotiation dissent from within the regime itself. MPs and insiders opposed to the emerging agreement with the United States are increasingly facing censorship, legal threats, political isolation, or outright marginalization.
⚪ Regime insiders are being censored on state television.
⚪ Dissident MPs are facing prosecution.
⚪ Parliament has reportedly been neutralized.
⚪ Power is increasingly being concentrated in fewer hands.
The Islamic Republic has always been a heavily vetted dictatorship with a parliament that exists in name only.
But now, even the regime’s own controlled dissent and internal checks appear to be under assault as power becomes increasingly centralized….

I fear that the USA is simply negotiating with the wrong people. There is no “government” there – no Parliament. Only bloodthirsty revolutionaries who seriously want to cause(!) Doomsday so that their “12th Imam” can pop up out of a hole in the ground.
They have ruled and raped that once-proud country for 47 years, and they only want 47 more. If 30,000 Iranians rise up to oppose them, then 30,000 Iranians will be – and, were – slaughtered. No doubt “Allah” was very pleased.
I don’t believe that it matters who is being negotiated with, or that negotiations take place at all. I can’t pin down exactly what President Trump’s strategy is–who can–but he and he alone is the director of this improv theater, and all the players in it, are being driven like a herd of cattle, to the ending that he wants.
I dislike referencing the chess metaphor too much; that being said, I think it is most apt here, as I have sat in Iran’s position before. A position in which I faced a superior opponent who had, unknown to me, already defeated me in the opening. Not one to surrender, I held off on resigning for some time, though we both knew that whatever feeble moves and flailing I did would have no effect on the outcome.
This is the position Iran faces now. There choice is to resign now (successful negotiation which Trump prefers) and save what little still remains to them, or continue to the bitter end until they have lost everything, (complete destruction, which will be just as well to Trump).
This is why I say negotiations do not matter, because Trump has from the very opening forced the opposition into a position where every move leads to his goal.
The only two choices that they are left with is between hard and harder.
Keep your eyes open for July 4th, when Iran buries their dead old leader and the American left tries to sabotage our celebrations any way they can. When one likes riding the edge of a sword, expect to get sliced. Expect Obama to lead the leftist charge, behind the front lines of course, in the shadows whenever possible. Trump is not nor has he ever been invincible. I worry he may have forgotten such.
With everything that has happened over the last decade, there is nothing that would surprise me, and this certainly sounds feasible.
I do believe the true trump card here with Iran is Kharg Island – the Iranian major port for export/import.
Iran came to this position seen with the Memorandum of Understanding signed on Friday (which is NOT a peace treaty) only because PDT made it very clear that a Kharg Island seizing is on the table. This means the US acquires ~90%+ of Iran’s oil flow, and governs 90%+ of sea imports into Iran.
This is a far more forceful strangulation hold than a mere blockade ever could be – and Iran knows this.
Should they destroy the facilities at Kharg Island to spite the US, Iran destroys their own hopes of any recovery and any chance of funding their quaint little apocalyptic dreams of using the nuclear bomb to end the world in flames.
Should they not destroy those facilities, the US assumes near complete control of their oil flow. The IRGC cannot afford all that money to be control by the US.
This is like watching a python or anaconda constricting its prey – once the coils are in place, there is no more “right move”, and escape can only come from the outside….and India, Russia and China are not coming to Iran’s aid. Neither are the rest of the Muslim world, whom Iran has already royally pissed off.
That sounds very plausible to me Ogre. Also, like the Anaconda analogy.
A mid-term election is on the horizon and these silly Iran negotiations is just political theater, IMO…bill
I’ve been wondering what his hole card is, but he is dealing with lunatics. I fear the IRGC must be burned to the ground to have peace there. I hope the president has the stomach for it.
Fairly certain he is locked and loaded; I think that morally speaking, he is quite at ease with the deploying the hammer, as long as he knows he did what was in his power to avoid it. In this case he is giving them every out, the choice in the end is theirs.
It is like the line from American Sniper, “I was just protecting my guys, they were trying to kill… our soldiers and I… I’m willing to meet my Creator and answer for every shot that I took.”
Just like Chris Kyle, President Trump is our sheepdog.
Well, you obviously haven’t been paying attention if you don’t know the President has multiple hole cards.
We have all the cards on the chess board. I say that, knowing it doesn’t make sense, but to our President, it does.
Starmer risigning was part of the Iranian chess game, and it is having great effect in our relationship with China, with the power of our traitorous legislators, in our relationship with Putin, in the Muslim populations of our cities.
There are 81 million mostly silent MAGA patriots in this country, but they have no idea the power we have.
The world cup soccer fans, and the citizens of Iran, of Poland, of Taiwan, and Alberta are more pro MAGA than most MAGA people in the US
Our president is is not only draining the swamp, he’s building a hydroelectric plant beneath it.
I agree wholeheartedly Doc, it is all connected.
When it comes to history and politics, I am easily entertained but hard to impress; but the moves made by President Trump and the clarity with which he sees the battlespace, simply amaze me. He is truly on the level of a Clausewitz or Alexander.
You strike one of the deepest chords within me, with your comment on how MAGA has no idea of the potential power we wield; other than our leader, it is the only major advantage we have, every other node of power is owned, controlled, or manipulated by Team Slavery.
In fact, if the majority of us who voted for MAGA would just stand up at one time, support Trump, and just say enough, no more, we would save our country.
Iran is trying to play Rope a Dope, but Iran ain’t no Cassius Clay and PDJT ain’t no George Foreman! 🙂
Vance said they are talking to everyone. President Trump is looking for who he wants to work with, as he did in Venezuela.
The IRGC and mullahs are in chaos. That’s what President Trump wants. He wants new or less crazy leaders to emerge.
Best of all would be if the Iranian people could grab power, or at least in some places.
Have our negotiators ever named who they are negotiating with? Could this whole negotiating strategy also be a way to cause civil war? I suspect factions are looking at other factions trying to decide what is in their best interests when they eventually align themselves with others.
Frankly, as bad as it will be for Iranian people, an all out civil war may be needed to clear out the radicals but I’m not sure the Mullahs will lose. My guess is that other gulf countries are quietly organizing in an effort to bring Iran out of it’s radicalism. Saw a report the other day that said most of the other countries need Iran intact because it is one of the only countries that is not all desert, and food is just as important as oil.
He looks more reasonable and nicer than the last one./sarc
Ha ha! They all look deranged.
Imagine having to sit and talk to these cretins….

Gee, seems like a pattern there, say, of the people of their countries getting a say in their own elections instead of being forced to be serfs.
See eye aye should be closed up today
Did you notice how those “poor uneducated peasants” managed to vote and count them and declare the winner in 24 hours?
It must be rigged, everyone in Californicka, knows it takes weeks and weeks to count (fiddle) the votes.
US “Democrats” have for decades supported communists and socialists worldwide using the largess of the US government to pay for it. What is happening under Pres Trump is a return to the will of the people.
using the largess of the US TAXPAYER’S MONEY
…the government has no money except our money.
Actually, the Fed has been the Giverment’s piggy bank for some time.
I don’t think there’s enough of us working stiffs generating the kind of money they like to throw around.
Money doesn’t come from the Fed.
The Fed steals the money from us!
I have been retired 19 yrs on fixed income and my purchasing power has been cut in half through inflation theft.
Our children have been further enslaved!!
Talking about the FED, Alan Greenspan has passed away…
It was about 1984, when he took over, that I heard that the idea of there being jobs for all Americans, all the time would become a thing of the past. As would ‘longevity’ with a company…
Like health care, these things are planned way in advance. Decades…
Actually when the politicians want more than our tax dollars provide the FED prints it and adds to our tab. Who is the Sam Hill ever gave the idiots permission to borrow on our tab…nobody I know of. I hear you about fixed income….I am forced to pay inflation on things like food but I do not buy the “wants” but only the “needs”.
Real help for seniors is needed like, no tax on any of their retirement. Do you qualify for any of the extra help some states offer through medicare.. like help with food? Do you qualify for SNAP?. You might try and investigate.
Many Seniors help their grown children with emergency expenses and grandchildren with everyday expenses. Every .dime the government takes is taken from families trying to get by without going on government dole. Sometimes causing more expense for taxpayers than the taxes collected in the first place. The whole of government is not fixable We need a redo.
Nelson W. Aldrich was Nelson Rockefellers grandfather. The grandfather started the fed bank in 1913. We have been screwed ever since. The federal reserve has no connection to
the federal gov. They should not be able to use tax payer $$$.
Should have read your comment first, I just posted almost the same thing.
Congress spends it, the US Mint prints it. That is what causes inflation.
It’s still still our money, or a better definition is our kids and grand-kids money.
JMO.
The dirty little secret in DC is that the communist candidates in the Latin American countries have been funded 100% by the CIA for decades.
The CIA had access to the money funneled into the USAID from the Continued Resolutions passed by Congress.
When President Trump shut down the USAID, it stopped the CIA funding of the communist candidates in the Latin American countries.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Exactly! Money is needed to run corrupt, fraudulent elections without it the ideology of the left starts to fade!
Money is needed to fund that corrupt ideology too.
Money is needed to fund those corrupt ideologues too.
Everywhere we look, we find corrupt ideologues using government money to fund themselves, their families, their friends, their fellow ideologues, their ideology and their elections.
Everywhere. All government programs. Fraud and theft of taxpayer funds is, was and always will be the goal.
🎯
“Everywhere”
Especially here in the US.
The ideologues who continually attack the Christian Conservatives…as being (fill in the blank, you won’t be wrong)_____________.
Thanks Jim and I keep thinking about our terrible judges…bill
Uh, yeah,….
Ask Omar Torrijos…died when his plane crashed into a mountain…
Far-Right, the farther a civil society can get away from total government control, government induced misery and the boot of government interference in your civil life, the more Right life becomes.
California is demonstrating that North America is not on the up and up yet.
I guess the people who replaced USAID in Europe and ousted Orban, don’t care about the Americas.
As I understand it, Péter Magyar has largely continued Orban’s Hungary First anti-immigration policies. Orban lost primarily due to various corruption charges and not a rejection of his stated policies.
Oh, stick around. His “Orban lite” bit is wearing thin. He’s pro-EU all the way. They’ve already passed a law keeping Orban from ever running again.
You are kidding!
Ask George Sore-arse how much he spent in the Hungarian election.
Orban kicked out Soros and all his attached corrupt non-profit companies including some so-called educational establishments.
George takes these things personally so he has to get rid of Orban and install his puppet.
And those charges, as well as the opposition was funded by? As well as a significant demonization campaign coupled with threats against the people?
“Far out! Wait… not far out, not far out!”
When scrolling, thought this was a Kermit the Frog picture?
Take Me Home Country Roads as sung by thousands in Seattle at the World Cup. Very fortunate to see him live about 45 years ago.
What does “far-right” mean?
Anything not left.
sooo every country…who reject /communism/socialism/globalism/wokenism/warmongerism …is now faaaar right……as in the Europe 90 yrs ago..

UPDATE: Iranian FM Says “Major Progress” as Day One of Iran Negotiations Conclude – Pakistan and Qatar Release Statement Announcing “Encouraging Progress”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/update-iran-negotiations-continue-after-day-one-talks
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh
🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance has just led PRODUCTIVE FIRST NEGOTIATIONS with Iran that will now advance toward a final deal, following mediation by Qatar and Pakistan
Iran did NOT back out.
The result is Iran and the US agreeing to coordinate nuclear, sanctions, and enforcement of the MoU
GREAT NEWS!
Looks like Vance, Witkoff and Kushner are making progress overseas
Cont and video…
Great news my azz. Iran can never be trusted. They are devious and sneaky jihadists. As are all Muslimes
Glad that your azz is great news.
History shows that you are right. Except I think it shows you can always trust them to be devious, sneaky jihadists.
Just that something is leading me to want to trust Trump.
There are potentially great things that can come out of this.
And Trump is not some ignorant doofus blind to those realities.
Nor is he trying to give everything good away as many prior “peace negotiators” have.
He isn’t trying to dupe us like Obama tried. He is fighting being duped.
He has already achieved great strides towards peace in that region.
And that possibility, of even more progress, is bringing out extreme attacks against Trump.
I heard some say recently that someone claimed Egypt would be attacking Israel in the next 15 years. I find that hard to believe unless the MB takes over.
But that started me thinking. Peace between Egypt and Israel has lasted for decades. And Jordan too.
Trump expanded that with the Abraham Accord. And he is using this opportunity to spread that further.
No, I don’t know that he will succeed. I do know that bar being constrained by Congress ala the fall of Vietnam, that Iran will not succeed in duping him.
But as I told David the Israeli propagandist, even if Trump succeeds another will rise up to fight in Iran’s stead. Maybe Turkey or Qatar. Still though, the region will be vastly improved should Trump succeed.
And the alternatives are something we don’t want. Boots on the ground trying to force an unwanted regime change. Or Obama approved nuclear weapons used against us.
Yes Iran government is predictable…bill
GREAT NEWS!
Looks like Vance, Witkoff and Kushner are making progress overseas 🔥
Trump fired off threats earlier this morning, and it looks like Iran realized he’s serious again!

This video is going viral because this man celebrated when Charlie Kirk died- and then something happened that completely changed him forever.
Cont….
Yes, even I saw that one yesterday. Resist the urge to turn it off & watch to the end. It’s worth the wait…
Indeed. I continuosly pray for those like this man, to have the scales fall from their eyes and the chains bound around their hearts to break and that they turn to the Lord and be saved.
When I saw this yesterday, I thought what an incredible testimony, a personal testament after deep introspection.
Especially when he spoke of his reconciliation with his father…and I pray also with his Father.
I hoped that someone in our Tree would post it.
For any on this thread, please do not scroll by.
A powerful admission, a courageous public “mea culpa”.
Thank you, Troublemaker 💕
Couldn’t have said it better, Miss B!
All we need to do is OPEN OUR EYES. God’s Majesty surrounds us in abundance if only we take the time to look! 🙂
Good morning, dear sir (at least where I am but barely) ☕ If I may add, we must be willing to open our eyes. He was, all credit to him…because he looks the sort who would not be. And then be willing to admit he was wrong.
There is a whole Leftist ideological cult which eschews self reflecfion, unable to admit they might be wrong.
He shames them all. He will be happier for his admission.
“Oh what a gift He gives us to see ourselves as others see us.”
Wow!
BREAKING.
Starmer to make announcement at 10 Downing Street any moment now.

“Keir Starmer announces his resignation as prime minister and leader of Labour Party”
Deader than a can of corned beef.
Now I am confused. Is England or Iran surrendering?
england…
England is going first but to the communist cabal praying at the foot the imported Muslim overlords.
Larry can add another one, to his list…

Someone misspelled hanging.
Yes, this should be very good news. But in his next breath Starmer said, he has resigned but he is continuing in his position. He is not leaving. Yet. Tight as a tick, that man.
Worse incoming…
Definitely worse coming. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2026/06/22/uk-meet-the-new-commie-worse-than-the-old-commie-n4954224
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This person I did not know anything about.
Potentially add David Milleband, Net Zero Man…rabid, radical Blairite and climate cultist, as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Last leg Britain. The Final Fall.
Make that “Ed” Milleband, David’s brother.
They don’t as yet have a duly elected Labour leader to replace him with. So first, a leadership contest.
By July 6th I’m reading.
He’s announced so he will go or be forced to.
What/who is more welcome.
Starmer or a tick?
Some how I think the UK will be like Chicago finding a worse mayor than Lori Lightfoot with Brandon Johnson and will select someone worse than Starmer to be their Prime Minister. Some people just never learn.
Yep –someone like David Lammy for example.
And like LA making sure the right people to fix the problems never get elected.
And like Chicago, they were warned…
The Labour Party remains in power until 2029, unless a General Election is called by the incoming, installed PM Andy Burnham, and is defeated.
That’s their Parliamentary system.
will # 1 warmonger & Russophobe RESIGN today ???? if it happen will be it beggining end of Z ??????

🚨THIS SHOULD SCARE EVERYONE🚨
While Prime Minister Carney deepens Canada’s partnership with the UK — including co-developing “nation-building digital public infrastructure” and aligning on child safety — the UK just ordered Apple and Google to install scanning software on every phone and computer sold in the country.
Not an app. Not social media. On the device itself. Your camera. Your photos. Your messages. Scanned before they can even be encrypted.

Both should end business in the countries and see what occurs
They should but they will not.

Europe spends so much time complaining about the “far right” totalitarianism, when every implementation of totalitarianism comes from left governments.
We see it quite clearly here in the Treehouse, but how do we beat this drum out in the public without being debanked?
I think debanking is going to be much more difficult going forward since several banks have been enjoined in Rico litigations
Good Morning America, how are ya? 58 and cloudy in Kankakee. 25 sacks of mail probably floated away…
56 and sunny here in Fraudopolis, Mn. Where Ilhan’s husband claimed he only made 200.00 dollars last year despite running a hedge fund. If you recall the tax claim of 30 million dollars suddenly reduced to around 95,000 dollars. Yes life is good to a few here in Fraudopolis..

How The Blob Dumped Liz Truss
I now have a second source as to how they got rid of Liz Truss. There is a guy called Dougie Smith who is often described as a shadowy “fixer” or backroom operator at Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ).
He worked for Cameron, May, and Johnson. Rishi Sunak was petrified of him. According to Nadine Dorries he was the one adviser who could hire and fire anyone including a Prime Minister, according to an article in the Guardian.
It also mentions he engaged in arranging sex parties for the wealthy, another source mentions his associations with high-society circles like the “Aspinalls poker set.”
These details contribute to his enigmatic, sometimes “Bond villain”-like reputation in Westminster commentary. On Liz becoming Prime Minster 6 September 2022 one of her first decisions was to revoke Smith’s Number 10 pass.
In a fit of pique Smith phoned up Andrew Bailey at the Bank of England.
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s “mini-budget” on 23 September 2022 saw tax cuts that would need £45 billion.
On 28 September 2022, the BoE announced a temporary emergency gilt purchase programme without Office For Budget Responsibility scrutiny.
Gilt yields spiked dramatically and the Bank of England announced a temporary emergency gilt purchase programme, a form of targeted quantitative easing.
This was researched using Grok. You can see Bailey would have done this with glee.
Quantitative Tightening (QT) — the active selling of gilts from its balance sheet to reduce the money supply was announced before the mini-budget. (Grok)
Gilt yields are higher under Labour.
-10-year gilt yield under Liz were 4.4%–4.5%, under Labour 4.65% – 4.85%
-30 year 5%-5.2% under Liz and under Labour 5.4% to 5.7%
Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England chaired the University of Cambridge branch of the socialist Fabian Society.
How someone with such warped views ever gets to be Governor of the Bank of England is beyond me.
There is also a whiff of the Blob and the Globalists joining ranks, to stitch up someone who wanted lower taxes and less government.
They would lose control. Baroness Thatcher’s first budget designed by Lord Howe on 12 June 1979, saw tax cuts, balanced by increases in VAT.
That fiscal year Exchequer receipts were £80 billion, eleven years later £200 million, accounting for inflation a real increase of 49%.
Liz was the nearest Prime Minister we had to Baroness Thatcher; she is a classical liberal.
Losing control of the economy and ego was far more important to them, than serving in the best interests of the country.

Dougie Smith: a mysterious backroom Tory fixer feared by MPs

How about all of the folks still blaming Russia for its war with Ukraine read this and look into its claims. This confirms what I and others have said from the outset in Feb. 2022.
https://x.com/markelgerald/status/2068716296372441142?s=46
Uhhhh I would but its in German..
Google Translate to the rescue:
BREAKING The fairy tale of Russia’s “unprovoked war of aggression” against Ukraine has been refuted The New York Times confirms in a sensational article that the Western intelligence services CIA and MI6 entered into an alliance with the Ukrainians from the Western-organized and financed coup on the Maidan in 2014 and then undertook war preparations for years! Among other things, according to the NYT, a total of 12 secret bases for infiltration and commando actions have been set up on Ukraine’s border with Russia and run by the CIA and MI6 together with the Ukrainian secret service SBU In other words We -the West- planned this war like a military staff and Russia did the DeepState the favor of getting rid of it in February 2022 2 million fallen and disabled Ukrainians accuse…. #Stopthiswar GM 3:22 PM · Jun 21, 2026 154.7KViews
This is breaking news? Did we just time warp to 2022?
This is news only for….US /EU … “NORMIES”…. most of us know what Nudelman Thoria(Nuland )& Kagan did in the Feb.2014……..
Didn’t France and Germany already admit that the point of Minsk was to arm and train Ukraine to defeat Russia?
Use X’s auto translate feature (my own X user settings default to that) or copy/paste the entire tweet into Google Translate (to English).
Well we all already know it was provocations by the West and that Obama, H. Clinton, Victoria Nuland and John McCain had their hands all over it in 2014. That the CIA and MI6 where involved was predictable as how else would they foment an uprising in newly independent Ukraine?
It is well known what happened. Russia looked across the border and saw: an invading army. It wisely decided to seize the military advantage by striking first. It has never since lost that advantage, as EU/NATO ran out of ammunition.
She didn’t fight for territory – which Russia certainly doesn’t need – but instead for attrition. Furthermore, she has tried to minimize civilian casualties. The cultural ties run deep: the original capitol of “Rusa” was in these lands. Her strategy has been a slow, inexorable, relentless grind. And she has sustained it. Because she can.
“Operation Unthinkable” has never been far from European planning to this day. It is highly unusual for Europe not to have engaged in a major war in now nearly ninety years. Time for another one!
Victoria Nuland published a map showing Russia split up into forty-odd helpless little rump countries. The borders were obviously based on known natural resource boundaries. She gave each one a name … and a flag!
But here is what they are NOT thinking about: If “real war” broke out, how long could THEY actually sustain it? Don’t ask the same question about Russia. She didn’t de-industrialize, or chase green rabbits. 🐇
🎯🎯
Excellent perspective Mike, and a lot of hard truths as well. Truths that aligneith my conclusions from all the evidence from sources outside of western Deep State influence or control.
Agreed, it does align with evidence already in existence.
Also, I would like to get your opinion on a theory of timing for the start of the Ukraine-Russia.
On February 23, 2022 the first leg of the American trucking protest departed from Adlento, CA; it was organized to augment, to build upon, and to continue the momentum of the very successful Canadian protest. I can only tell you that the atmosphere there was electric; I believe that it when it joined up with the other legs in DC, it would quite possibly have become a game changer.
But on Feb 24, 2022 Russia invaded, thereby completely pushing everything else out of the news cycle and the trucks arrived to a deafening silence.
Although I have not, as of yet, found any evidence to corroborate this theory; Russia was already being goaded into the war, and the timing here leads me to believe that some event led to Russia being induced to begin operations on that specific day.
What are your thoughts on that?
John, I admittedly, cannot recall many details from that period of time almost 3 1/2 years ago, the one thing that stands out in my mind had nothing to do with the truckers protest of which you write.
You may recall back at that time that President Putin made an approximately three hour long speech about the whole situation, including a history of Russia with regard to its involvement in conflicts with nations around its borders.
Many criticized the speech as being long-winded and not saying much in their opinion. But others, including myself, noticed that Putin was giving a pretty good reason behind Russia’s strong nationalist need for self-defense. And the conflict which actually began in 2014, when our intelligence agents and some European intelligence agents combined to create trouble in Ukraine, (which was called the maidan or revolution/protest uprising.) It was mostly a “synthetic” protest as many protests have been when started by left-wing entities. But it targeted the Russian speaking peoples living in eastern Ukraine or the “Donbas.”
Putin saw the problem of Ukraine being admitted into NATO, which would result in NATO armaments and missiles being installed in Ukraine, and more than likely pointed at Russia.
Understanding the history of post-communist, Russia, i.e. post-1990, where the US /EU pledged to Russia, that there would be no more Eastward expansion of NATO and military installations that would be potentially offensive against Russia. But the EU and US soon violated their own pledge and started advancing the NATO borders eastward towards Russia, scooping up more European nations and getting closer and closer to the Russian border. Ukraine was a large step in the wrong direction that was becoming imminent after the uprising began in Ukraine, and Putin realized he had to put a stop to it sooner than later or he would be reacting defensively.
So I think the beginning of the Russia Ukraine conflict was as a result of geopolitical developments in that area of the world rather than any other events that were planned here, in Canada or elsewhere that were unrelated to that specific region and that Ukrainian conflict.
I hope this answers your question. Again, this is my opinion simply based on observations, however, I know many others hold the same opinion because I’ve read it across many sites.
Thank you for your response, your time is appreciated, and your opinion is one of quite a few here that I respect.
I believe that their calculus of real war was based on their belief that 2024 would continue their theater with the puppet Biden remaining in place, and once he had to be removed, their puppet Harris. Instead their plans were dashed with Trump 2.0.
Interesting. What would happen if some NATO countries attacked other NATO countries? Who would NATO support?

Gun-Controlled Chicago: At Least 27 Shot Friday Into Saturday Evening – 21 Jun 2026
https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2026/06/21/gun-controlled-chicago-at-least-27-shot-friday-into-saturday-evening/amp/g/ag/amp/g/amp/mp/
At least 27 people were shot, five of them fatally, Friday into Saturday evening in gun-controlled Chicago, Illinois.
Gearing up for the 4th of July?
What we never hear is what areas of Chicago is this taking place? Who are the perpetrators? Who are the victims? Is this across all areas of Chicago or isolated to one area? Is this a gun problem, or an ethnic problem?
It is an ethnic problem.
Guns are racist.
Impossible!
A majority of guns are black!!
Rhetorical question. We all know the answer and why the lib media hides it.
Probably…
Its an anger problem or more accurately, a “lethal rage” problem…in the younger generation. And no self control. No values on life.
WLS/The Big 89, is reporting at least now, 38 shot…the above stats I got were from “Hey Jackass”…not sure if they fully updated..
Of course they want a new government agency on gun control. We throw money at problems and nothing ever changes.
I always wonder how many chicago shooters have their guncard and are legal gunowners. That never seems to be talked about in illinois shootings
Lower economic areas of Chicago. Perpetrators are racist. Victims are mostly racist. Predominately one ethnic group. IMO…bill

That is nice too.
But everything she mentioned was there on the table with the carbs and fats.
That is a standard with picky people. It is not just that they have requirements but that you have to follow them too.
Is that the dessert for breakfast?
So darn funny. What’s that saying? You can’t please everyone.
Well done on both accounts…I would eat all of it!
I am happy to clog my arteries, where does the line start?
There’s ‘cleaner’ protein than eggs?

wow. What a spread and such a perfect spot.
Thank you!
Have a blessed day.
I am guessing a long day of hard works looms for the folks eating that breakfast!
Oooh Heaven on a Monday morning ❤️
Thank you 🤗
I’m joking around: is that meal what you eat by yourself for breakfast? 🙂
The food looks good, is there room at the table for us people living at the Treehouse! 🙂
You are making me hungry. 🙂
Nothing better than an outdoor breakfast!
They better get to the table quick. That stuff gets cold fast. Just sayin’
Good eatin’!
We have been reading propaganda about how badly the Iranian soccer team has been being treated, but as Paul Havey used to say, here is ‘the rest of the story‘:
DHS Says Iranian World Cup Team Tried to Smuggle IRGC Members Into the United States

According to a new report from the Department of Homeland Security, members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp attempted to smuggle themselves into the United States under the guise of the Iranian World Cup team.
Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed the Iranian plot on Fox News Sunday morning.
“Most teams travel with around 120 people,” Mullin said. “That’s their support staff, doctors, coaches, everybody else that comes along with them and their delegation. We accepted 53 individuals coming in. The rest of the individuals Iran tried to bring in all also had direct ties to the IRGC and aren’t their normal traveling group.”
Article from TechCrunch.
FTA: The Federal Bureau of Investigation is pulling back the curtain on a 22,000-square-foot replica town on its Huntsville, Alabama, campus that it built to train law enforcement in simulating and investigating real-world cyberattacks.
The aim is to teach investigators in a secure environment beyond the classroom by getting hands-on with some of the latest consumer and enterprise technologies, many of which are frequently targeted by malicious hackers. The numbers put the training into context. The FBI’s 2025 Internet Crime Report, drawing on more than 1 million complaints, logged a record $20.9 billion in U.S. cybercrime losses, a 26% jump over the prior year, with ransomware ranked the top ongoing threat to critical infrastructure.

Once you understood that the 0bamites were ideologically aligned with the Islamic mutants running Iran and would never use any real military force against them, that’s all one really needed to know.
I read that earlier and I would encourage everyone to read it.
Yes, that is pretty much the honest pragmatic situation.
There are still unknowns though.
There still could be an armed uprising some day down the road (if the opposition were armed). After all, it was an uprising, itself, by supporters of the radical Mullahs that captured Iran in the first place. It has to come from within though. It is the only way regime change would ever occur.
There could be a coup within the current leadership and its struggles with the IRGC monster the Ayatollohs have created. Results could go either way. Could get better, could get worse.
There will eventually be a route around the straight of hormuz, but that will then become a target by Iran. Can the other countries sufficiently secure that?
Just gonna have to deal with it no matter what it is. There will never be US troops on the ground though.
I would also stress that “doing nothing” was never an option. So, I think Trump is managing this in the best possible way.
Here’s some hope porn to start the week off! Not going to happen! It should but it won’t! The corrupt DC District Court stacked with obama/biden leftist activist Judges was setup to protect Democrats criminality! Our Federal Judiciary is stacked to the left to prevent charges being brought against Democrats! Until that is fixed the Democrats will continue on with their illegalities and corruption!
Why is it with the three branches of our government, Executive, Congressional, Judiciary, the only branch subjected to oversight hearings is the Executive Branch.
Maybe if the Judiciary (courts, judges) was subject to oversight of legal and constitutional decisions they make they would feel a little pressure to do the right legal thing. I know decisions can be appealed, but that’s not working all that well into today’s society.
Just terrible what courts and individual judges get away with with no individual accountability.
Because the Executive Branch is Donald Trump.
What is truly needed is to return to the original design of our government and operate within its parameters. The way it is now is like the Cadillac from Johnny Cash’s One piece at a time.
Non Article III Courts.
Non-Article III courts, also known as Article I courts or legislative courts, are federal tribunals created by Congress under its general legislative powers rather than Article III of the Constitution. Unlike Article III courts, their judges do not receive life tenure or salary protection, and they are not appointed by the President with Senate confirmation.
Congress may authorize these courts to adjudicate specific categories of cases where the strict requirements of
Article III are relaxed:
Territorial and District Courts: Courts in the District of Columbia and U.S. territories, which function similarly to state courts for local matters. Military Courts: Including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces and courts-martial, which try members of the armed forces. Public Rights Adjudication: Specialized courts handling disputes between the government and private parties, such as the U.S. Tax Court and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Adjuncts: Tribunals that assist Article III courts, such as bankruptcy courts and magistrate judges, whose decisions are subject to review by Article III judges
Had to look that one up! Congress may authorize 🤣🤣🤣!!!
Hang on a minute, hasn’t she officially resigned?
That is the same suit she wore back in 2025 discussing Obama involvement.
While your premises are true and likely your conclusion that nothing is going to happen is also true, this is more than just hope porn. Regardless of conviction, the truth being exposed in this manner within the court of public opinion is already a powerful win.
The real truth being exposed is that elite Democrats are above the law! I’m tired of moral victories I want crooked, corrupt politicians of both parties to go to jail!!! Most of our foreign aid comes back to politicians!!!! Congress is so corrupt it’s little more than a millionaire factory!!! Despicable!
I want the perp walks too, but in a war for survival, you either take what you can get, or surrender. There is no easy, there is only clawing inch by bloody inch.
DC courts often appear to be a “no go zone” for conservative jurisprudence.

FTA “One look at Kyle “I’m Antifa” Wagner using every conceivable grammatical use of the F word, and one can find how getting death threats, stalking, and conspiring to harm or kill federal officers appears to be a real threat. The feds sure think so, which is why the feds rolled up tough guy Kyle “aka Kaos,” in Minneapolis this week and netted him a hat trick of charges.
But, to no one’s surprise, Kyle has a softer, more feminine side. He likes to flounce around in dresses to make him feel like a pretty little girl.
This is what we’re up against! I’m filled with hope and belief in our 2nd Amendment!
He looks like the guy in “Silence of the Lambs,” and he should end up the same way.

Dialog also runs a matchmaking service. Its registration form asks whether participants are “looking for love” and offers to include single respondents in “future matchmaking.” A separate site at dating.dialog.org hosts an app pitched as “meaningful connections for exceptional people.” The form also collects each registrant’s political leaning, which Dialog promised would never be shared.
Matchmaking? Uh…sure…

Getting excited about Iran agreeing to let IAE inspectors in is beyond lame 😎
I thought that WE would do the inspections.
Why aren’t WE dictating terms?
My view is President Trump wants other nations to step up with peacekeeping.
It’s a joint inspection.
In the very general terms after war ….grasshopper…party who got real upper hand dictate terms….or party who won war…. Creations of own reality been practice Bushes…. it’s time to live in the real world follow J D VANCE …good source ….moonofalabama.org….whatdoesitmean.com
VP JD Vance says the U.S. and Qatar are crafting a plan so that if Iranian assets are unfrozen, the funds would be used to buy “American soy, American corn, and American wheat for the benefit of the Iranian people.” Vance: “if Iranian assets are ever unfrozen, they’re going to go to make American farmers richer and to feed the Iranian people.” He added the U.S. has been in “constant contact” with Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Lebanon throughout negotiations and insists Washington is not “imposing” a deal on the region.
Yeah right. Iran will the food to African Muslim nations
well you can give them something to eat but you can’t make them keep it.
Well I hope that works, but it sounds a bit like the Iraq Oil For Food plan. That didn’t work all that well as I recall.
Well, we all know the effects of ‘soy’…
Vance isn’t really that naive …
He isn’t talking to the actual madmen who hijacked that country 47 years ago. There is no “government” there.
Soy, wheat & corn will sicken the Iranian people en mass … look around at the Americans that make up the sickest citizenry in the entire first world – they’ve had wheat, soy, & corn shoved down their throats for many years.
This is a (contingent) $$$ deal for America First, though not a good trade for the Iranian people whatsoever;
OR
“Iran will the food to African Muslim nations” – whatever that means.
What’s With Wheat – full documentary
+ 2 books recommended: ‘Wheat Belly’ & ‘Grain Brain’
It is sprayed with Round-up to dry the wheat faster when it is time to harvest the wheat. And they don’t wash it off before grinding.
Yes that is one destructive ‘invention’ added to wheat.
The documentary details how wheat has been changed from the plant it used to be that nourished Humans in centuries past –
spraying with toxic round-up came many decades later…
the documentary is informative.
As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for “peace”, the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8th and 9th.
This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime. To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided.
Dealing with this regime will fail and we will all face the consequences. The regime’s 47-year war against the Iranian people continues.
Just as it has never made peace with its own citizens, it will never truly make peace with the world.
The international community should back the people of Iran’s fight for freedom. Put them center in any negotiations and in their Iran policy. But let me be clear – with or without international support – this regime will fall. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny.

I hear many wondering: “The IRGC commanders are dead, why aren’t Iranians in the streets taking back their country?”
Here is what has changed on the ground: The regime knows Iranians hate them, so they have imported their regional terrorist proxies (Hezbollah, Hashd al-Shaabi, Fatemiyoun) directly into Iranian cities to suppress the public.
Taking out top commanders in bunkers is great, but it doesn’t magically remove the thousands of foreign mercenaries patrolling our streets with machine guns.
We are still fighting completely UNARMED. Asking a bare-handed population to face a transnational terrorist army without any real logistical or military backing isn’t asking for a revolution;
it’s asking for a massacre. Arm the Iranian people!

I believe PTrump tried to arm the people and the weapons were stolen by the ones who were supposed to deliver them. How does this get accomplished then?
Link? Not surprising!
This was in the news not that long ago.
It’s the Daily Beast but it does have the clip of President Trump saying the Kurds kept the weapons.
He’s said it more than once.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-makes-startling-confession-on-lost-us-weapons-sent-to-kurds/
Thank you! I remember that now! President Trump was disappointed in the Kurds!
Sad, but not our issue.
..it is time to stick our noses to internal politics in the our country …only globalists/warmongers /neocons all flavors (now I understand who those MAGAcons are)……would love to VSGPDJT to be preoccupied with Middle East for rest of his term….Charlotte no hard feeling ….what’s about to open your own blog about WEST ASIA…..
In the 1930’s, many Americans said the same thing about Hitler.
They were right then and they are right now.
He has tried to arm them.
And the CIA can arm anyone.
The Iranians cannot overthrow the IRGC without help. It is for the same reason the Germans, in WWII, did not rise up and overthrow the Nazis. In that case, every Nazi had a pistol, and each was authorized to blow the brains out of any German who resisted, no questions asked. To defeat Hitler, he had to be pursed right to his bunker by allied armies. Likewise, the IRGC are professional revolutionaries, well-armed against an unarmed Iranian populace. They are said to have arrested 6500 citizens since Feb. 28, and they are using the ceasefire to begin hanging them. It is not enough just to arm the Iranian people, they need safe places of refuge, to seek sanctuary away from their murderers.
Those safe places need to be in other Muslim countries and not our own.
I was thinking of ejecting the terrorists from lands in Iran itself. It has to be done, because the war will not be over until the Islamic Republic is defeated, and the Iranian people are free to choose a new government. The world will not continue to tolerate any nation exporting terrorism and revolution.
Before WW2 started, the NAZIs had the support of over 95% of the German people. They loved Hitler. Half of America loved Hitler.
I know. Stanley Baldwin sold Hitler the airplane engines, that Hitler used to bomb the allies. Winston Churchill was not fooled and used every means to warn of the danger, but he was cast in the political wilderness for his efforts, a lone voice of reason on the out, sounding the alarm from his home at Chartwell.
Bad example: German citizens overwhelmingly supported their government during WWII.
If the Mullahs have to be pursued then let it be by other Middle Eastern countries.
This was tried early in the war by arming the Kurds, but failed because the Kurds kept the arms instead of arming the Iranians.
With the will and numbers they would overwhelm even an armed IRGC.
Look up “German resistance to Nazism” in Wikipedia. This is not true. The Gestapo arrested hundreds of thousands of Germans for resistance and executed tens of thousands.
I didn’t say there wasn’t resistance, only that the majority of German citizens were supportive of their government which is true.
After the Night of the Long Knives in 1934, the Germans knew what Hitler was. They feared him from that point on. They knew if they did not support his government they would be killed. He took power by killing his opponents.
Here is your AI response to your answer:
No, there was not much resistance among the general German population. While small, distinct groups resisted, historian Hans Mommsen describes the opposition as “resistance without the people,” noting that the number of active resisters was very small compared to the wider society.
Key aspects of German resistance included:
Limited Scope: Most Germans supported the regime, particularly after early military successes, viewing resistance as unpatriotic. Open political resistance was largely impossible due to the Gestapo and the SD, though some “everyday resistance” (non-compliance) existed beneath the surface.
Notable Groups: Resistance came in various forms, including the White Rose student group (executed in 1943 for distributing leaflets), the Swing Youth (cultural non-conformists), and religious figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Clemens August von Galen.
Military Plots: The most significant organized effort was the July 20, 1944 plot led by Claus von Stauffenberg to assassinate Adolf Hitler and overthrow the government. This attempt failed, leading to the execution of thousands of conspirators.
Casualties: Approximately 77,000 German citizens were killed for various forms of resistance by special courts and the civil justice system during the war.
In summary, while courageous individuals and small groups defied the Nazi regime, their efforts did not represent a widespread popular uprising, and the majority of the German public remained compliant or supportive until the war’s end.
Now may I suggest you stop referring to Wikipedia.
Perhaps it is time for other countries in the Middle East, besides Israel, to exert some effort to police their own neighborhood?
And yet, somehow, even after France pre-emptively surrendered, the French underground made life very unpleasant for the occupiers.
We would be in the same position if not for the second amendment.
If the IRGC can afford to pay all these mercenaries, they have way too much money on hand!
It is fascinating to skim the Communist click-bait headlines to keep their supporters addicted!

Money damages are not enough. Some people should be prosecuted.

This is just one of many abuses.
J6 was a false flag operation whose primary objective was to demonstrate what happens to people who resist the power of our masters. Forty percent of all FBI agents were assigned to illegally track down protesters, all were processed through the thoroughly corrupt DC court system and given extreme sentences, many were tortured, some like Samsel physically, many more through persecution and destruction of their lives.
We took the fight to them, but the only problem with J6, was there were not enough of us; shutting down the certification of an election that was not just stolen, but so in your face stolen, would have been a major victory.
We can thank That Army General Milley for talking to the Chinese first for empowering the FBI. He as much said to the Chinese Generals, I’ll let you know what is happening before anyone else.
Yes, and though it is a slow process, we are whittling those traitors down.
“At Central Virginia Regional Jail, he was shackled from behind in direct violation of his own medical orders, a guard sat on his back, and his head was driven into the ground and down a staircase. He suffered a concussion and spinal contusions. The attorney video call arranged to check on him was blocked. The surveillance footage the court requested was never produced.
At Northern Neck Regional Jail, he was beaten so severely he required CPR. Stabbed in the legs and ankles with keys. Punched. Head slammed into a door.”
The Wardens and prison guards at those prisons need to be charged with brutality! My understanding is that guards at the DC gulag were mostly black and thought all the J6ers were white supremacists so treated them harshly at best!!! But get an indictment let alone a conviction in the corrupt DC District Court is just not possible!!!
here is a disturbing report of mistreatment which, if true, should result in criminal prosecution af many government employees, and ‘investigation’ by our congrescritters. do government agents get immunity for such ‘official’ acts? where is kash patel on this?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/sean-penn-wants-rewrite-january-6-history-ryan/
It used to be that when inmates at the state level, filed grievances…they were addressed and rectified, right away. Apparently not with the demonrat cabal at the federal level. Or if grievances were filed, they were sent to the circular file.
I am not a lawyer but it seems that there are civil rights violations involved?
The Eighth Amendment (of the Bill of Rights) is a civil right:
““Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments
inflicted.” The 14th Amendment applies the 8th to the States. Solitary confinement is ‘controversial’, but the behavior described to obtain false testimony is surely prohibited.
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws.
18 USC 241 makes it a crime when “…two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same…”
Where are Kash Patel, the congresscritters, and the DOJ ? The DOJ and FBI cnnot police themselves. I guess another answer is, they can’t even handle the ‘mostly peaceful’ burning down of Minneapolis. Or find out who pre-positions bricks for ‘peaceful demonstrations’.
Yes, it’s true.
Here is a quick search via TGP with the terms J6 and torture. There may be more stories outside of those parameters.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/?s=j6+torture
Kash is busy attacking Tom Fitton which is a whole different level of frustration. Judicial Watch has had to sue Trump’s DOJ as much as he did under Biden and Kash has used social media to go after Tom Fitton.
Patel and Blanche ought to be supporting Fitton, and releasing evidence of criminality and other wrongdoing. Why not? What prevents PDJT from forming an office at the whitehouse, and ordering release of incriminating government records?
Yes, True.
There is virtually no difference between the actions of the deep state–the FBI in particular–with the actions of the gestapo. Forty percent of all FBI agents were assigned to hunt down protesters. Leftists civilians gleefully aided in searching and outing protesters.
Had Trump not. won in 24 I would have been in federal prison today. For protesting; for doing something at the capital that leftists have been doing since at least the Clarence Thomas confirmation.
Patel and Bondi were the 2 most important appointments for cleaning up past and preventing ongoing corruption, and the most disappointing. Patel could easily release the 14,000 hours of J6 video promised for release, which would reveal any government, antifa, or other inciting group. There is no legitimate ‘security’ reason to withhold these records.
I agree.
Having said that, I suspect–without evidence–that this is something that Trump is saving for release at the most opportune time. If we reach the mid-terms without hearing anything related to this matter, we know I’m wrong.
Ryan Samsel is the type of victim that Trump’s weaponization fund was meant to support.
His may be one of the worst abuses, but the J6 prisoners were almost all abused (from how they were confined to bogus trials).
And, then, there were several who who unjustly died that day. And a Capitol Police Chief who tried to do his job who was set up to be the scapegoat by Pelosi.
These are the people a movie needs to be made about. Not that lying Farone.
And, where the he’ll were the elected officials charged with representing the people from these abuses?
Where is the justice?
They are now demanding the evidence for the accusations of the Reflection pool vandalism,they President Trump is claiming!! I sure hope they have something cause this ain’t going away,until there is proof
Proof that the pool was vandalised?
Lawyers for the defense no doubt demanding?
Slippery slope…re. constitutional rights?
I would say that 5 people arrested for vandalism by local police is proof that vandalism has occurred.
What would they accept as proof?
So if Israel doesn’t like the deal and TDS people don’t like the deal – I guess we have a winner!
I loathe property taxes even more than income taxes!!!!
How do you propose paying for local services?
We paid over $11k in property taxes last year, and the city provides us with real-time info where every single penny of that goes – local school districts, police and fire departments, street repairs, garbage collection, public health infrastructure, and various other community needs.
I like the idea, myself, of having skin in the game where I live.
With an income tax.
Personally I don’t like someone else taking by skin! Sales tax on non food items and medical supplies is one way! That way you can control your taxes by how much you spend or don’t spend. There are other ways as well. But having Appraisal Districts whose main job is to collect as much taxes as they can are predisposed to raising appraisals and denying appeals! Amazing that property taxes never ever go down! At least that’s my experience!
In Missouri, we are trying to get rid of our State Income tax ( I would rather it be property tax.) Lots of outside money fighting against it.
Agree B71 and waaayy too much of property tax going to public schools around here. Imo

Bubby, you can make claims but you can’t back it up. In MN where I was a tax assessor for 15 years, appraisal districts only collect the taxes the state politicians tell them too. They are simply a collection agency.
Every property owner in MN is given 3 different methods each year to dispute their valuation. After all the valuations are finalized, the politicians determine how much tax you pay. In 2007-2009 when market values crashed, the law only allowed a certain decrease each year. Eventually values aligned with the market but taxes never went down.
Think about that. If taxes never went down when valuations dropped it’s not because of the appraisers and assessors. They lowered the values right? The problem is the budgets never went down. On the other side of this, if a jurisdiction were to keep it’s budget exactly the same but valuations went up, your taxes stay the same even though the appraisers “raised” values.
In MN there is an independent commission that reviews property values determined by assessors. If those values are not in line with actual sales, the state orders appraisers to either lower or raise values. We even argued with the state about which sales are market value. A bankruptcy sale or divorce or death is not a market sale because one of the parties is under duress to sell, which affects the price.
As far as appeals, we lowered most because our data was incorrect. Nobody wants the assessor in their home but some people never improve or fix things and over time if we don’t see the interior, obviously the value could be incorrect.
Appraisers in MN have rules and ethics that require them to treat everyone the same and value the properties as accurately as possible. Sure, every profession has corruption, but if MN appraisers are caught doing something illegal or unethical, the penalties are severe. Hope this helps.
Have fewer services, do more things yourself.
Musk is a supposed recovering socialist so his take taxation is suspect, IMO. I think he used to support the universal living wage or whatever they call it. Therein lies the road to slavery.
Our residency and taxes remain one of the most significant ways to affect policy. Voting used to be right up there but both parties are working assiduously for our votes to mean very little.
You can always move to a more tax friendly locale. I certainly did. I was tired of my tax dollars funding the lunacy in CA.
Sales taxes.
Then after all of that, you likely get taxed on the way to the cemetery on all of it. A F’ing disgrace.
I would even be happy if they took the school district taxes, at least for seniors, off the property tax bill.

WHY that won’t be fixed:
The famous libertarian economist Milton Friedman (Nobel Prize-winning economist) defined the four ways money is spent in his 1979 book *Free to Choose*. The four categories are based on ‘whose money’ is spent and ‘on whom’ it is spent:
1. You spend your own money on yourself
– ‘Example:’ Buying groceries or lunch for yourself
– ‘Incentives:’ Strong incentive to ‘economize’ (watch price) AND get ‘full value’ (watch quality)
2. You spend your own money on someone else
– ‘Example:’ Buying birthday gifts or taking someone out to dinner
– ‘Incentives:’ Strong incentive to ‘economize’ (watch price), but ‘less incentive’ to get full value as judged by the recipient (don’t watch quality as carefully)
3. You spend someone else’s money on yourself
– ‘Example:’ Buying lunch on an expense account
– ‘Incentives:’ Strong incentive to get ‘full value’ (watch quality), but ‘little incentive to economize’ (don’t watch price)
4. You spend someone else’s money on someone else
– ‘Example:’ Politicians/bureaucrats spending taxpayers’ money on government programs; committee members spending contributors’ money on organization programs
– ‘Incentives:’ ‘Little incentive to economize’ AND ‘little incentive to get full value’ — you watch neither price nor quality
Friedman argued that this last category represents ‘government spending’, where we’re likely to see “higher costs and lower quality” because there’s no personal stake in either saving money or maximizing value.

I’m counting the days until July 4th 2026 (the 250 year birthday). 12 days away. It should be some event President Trump is preparing for us.
We had a big celebration in 1976 for our 200th. The next day life went on.
Zero personal disrespect intended to you Rich, though it may seem so… but in a very general sense I have to ask…
Is that *really* “Trump’s job” right now?
However, he probably has people on the job of preparations behind the scenes of Freedom 250… we do know there will be fireworks at Mt. Rushmore… there is a*lot happening* for those with ears to hear & eyes to see:

Awesome find, herebouts.
Tissues may be needed, what a wonderful story and perfect for the day after Father’s Day.
To be clear, the left/UniParty have been overtly attacking the American people from the Tea Party through President Trump without any hesitation. In these attacks if you really look you get a true understanding of that meaningless word, bipartisanship, Us vs UniParty.
These demons have destroyed countless Americans with their treachery. Most people don’t have deep pockets to fend off these Lawfare attacks where “the process is the punishment”. They will simply plead out the false charges, this gives the enemy MSM, 24/7, …their talking points with these poor peoples coerced, guilty pleas.
Easy examples of this, Jan 6th political prisoners and Tina Peters. They are essentially lynching people for exercising their 1st Amendment Rights of Speech & Assembly or just doing their jobs like Tina. Suspended Habius Corpus, result of The Patriot Act and slammed them in jail as insurrectionist or domestic terrorist.
After the 2020 election steal, “the big one”, they constantly tried to jail our Great American President Donald J Trump with narration 24/7 by the enemy MSM, including Fox.
Most real Americans are good and honorable people, believing in fair play, but comity requires both sides working in good faith. That’s not what we are dealing with folks look at the geriatric No Kings or the Algae protest at the reflecting pool, these people are still idiots after 50-60 years, still bowing to their dark master.
“The ends justify the means” “If it feels good do it” “Stick to the man” Those of us old enough remember these meaningless slogans, some of us even bleated out this crap, time and again.
One thing commie leftist, aka Alinsky acolyte do well is, walk in a straight line. They took over, education (Another thing Carter helped along with amnesty for draft doggers, they went straight into the University system), politics, culture, etc. and dutifully follow orders from HQ no matter how stupid.
Remember, when a Marxist sees a rock on the ground, they pick it up and throw it, we see that same rock and clear it up, so no one trips on it.
The true rule book, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, are We the People’s safety net. as established by our Founders. This is why the NWO/CFR/WEF et al had to set it aside, slowly at first then suddenly.
Problem, Reaction, Solution coined the Hegelian Dialectic, but much older, Machiavelli, Julius Ceasar Divide & Conquer, Sun Tzu’s Art of War, even back to ancient Sumerian text, etc. The concept is as old as civilization and used by the power hungry to manipulate.
Recent examples: 1977 Church Committee report on C_IA, this is horrible, Carter EO’s creating SES, FISA, Inspectors General
The hanging chad, this is an embarrassing spectacle in the USA, Electronic Voting
9-11, do something to protect us, The Patriot Act
Orange man bad, save us deep state, release bioweapon the cheat in 2020
Rinse-repeat…
Funny, notice the solution always gives more power to the UniParty…hmm?
Most don’t know this manipulative swamp technique and don’t want to know it as it shatters their imaginary existence, the fantasy of the Honest Broker; “nothing new under the sun”.
We fall for it, me included, and follow their lead, in most cases our demise is our reward. Anymore I can’t see anything passed in the past 113+ years that truly benefits the American people, that includes Social Security System’s. The fraud in that one policy is beyond measure, in the trillions of dollars.
“The Save America Act” Simply put, you must be an American to vote in America. Wow! …that’s radical. /s This has 80% + support amongst the American people, both parties. It passed in congress, stopped in the Senate by that noble statesman John Thune, our team…spit, stands in the way.
Even Chuck “U” Shumer, shout out to Rush, this weekend on Lawrence O’Donnel’s show on MSNOW, admitted it would clean 25 million from the voter rolls…WHAT! Who can’t prove they’re an American citizen or show a simple Drivers License? …why yes, 3rd world invaders can’t. Don’t get me started on the dead people vote.
This explains Sanctuary Cities/States and those poor immigrants, getting free room & board, walking money, medical care, food, education worth some estimates $5 to 10 thousand per month, per invader. While We the People take in the pants.
This would be an extinction level event for the democrat party and the UniParty doesn’t want that, elite appearances/distractions/money/power/illusion of opposition and all.
A true free & fair election would have the same result, democrat annihilation and destruction of the meticulously created by the education system with their spokesman, the enemy MSM, that we are a 50/50 country canard.
Somehow, someway, we must get to real justice if we are to survive as a Constitutional Republic where the law of the land is our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Any suggestion how we correct this?
MAGA!
We return to the original design under the Declaration and Constitution; we force the operation of the government back to within those parameters.
The first step towards this goal in the present, is ensuring Republican control of Congress in the mid-terms, no matter how vile the people with the R after their name is. After that, enough of us need to demand a return to Constitutional fealty to make it happen.
One suggestion is that the octogenarians are grooming their replacements.
They, the replacements, need to first, be identified. And studied now as to how they might theoretically go about continuing the anti-American Future agenda…as we won’t see real issues until much later. (I use health care as my own model, a discussion for a later time, but I am talking decades….kind of like Alan Greenspan’s longevity).
Briefly,….The bru haha in health care was talked about in the 80’s and did a slow creep in the 90’s, 00’s Medicare changed, 10’s we had Obama and now? We see hospital failures…all over the country. And the gobmint won’t intervene in most of the now “private entities”.
Barack Hussein Obama Liebarry:
“Somehow, it is fitting.”
The first American President in recent history to serve three terms in office could come up with nothing more than this, to forever remember him by. And he didn’t even pay his bills.
I look forward, indeed, to the Trump library. Which will probably be integrated into a profitable hotel (and casino?), completed ahead of time and under budget. Because this is one thing that you can certainly say: Trump knows the real-estate business. And, he knows how to “manage the money” in a universe of wannabe corruption.
If you are dealing with “feelings of guilt”, I would recommend to go inside yourself, and in SILENCE ask GOD ALMIGHTY to help you in dealing with this terrible FEELING OF GUILT. It can be “cleaned up quickly”, I had some guilt many years ago (about 30 years ago) , that was eatting me alive… like a dark cloud … . Over time I built up the pressure to go DIRECTLY to GOD in my Heart, and ask GOD for help.
I guess I’m saying, GO to GOD, and if GOD doesn’t seem to HEAR YOU, bug GOD, literally bug GOD, again, and again, and again, … trust me, GOD WILL ANSWER YOU and HELP. Jesus has a story about doing this, and how bugging GOD worked. Don’t give up. Don’t give up. YOU NEED GOD, and you might have to get on your knees and ask GOD to hear you. Repentance works. Also ask GOD to protect you from making that “mistake” again.
I don’t deal with guilt anymore, if I make any mistake, and trust me, I make plenty of mistakes, they last a few seconds, … and I go to GOD again, And ASK GOD to BREATH IN ME again, and then , a little later … I make another mistake. Quickly GO TO GOD, stop what you are doing, be SILENT, and ask GOD to BREATH YOU. (that is GOD’S WILL). Just don’t use guilt to be excuse to stay away from GOD. All that FEAR OF GOD crap, is CRAP! GOD LOVES YOU, and GOD can HELP YOU. Stay close to GOD.
There will be many great posts today on this forum by brilliant Treepers, but this outdistances everything else today by a mile.

Many blessings to you and yours.

Rich, I thank you! This was inspirational and the reminder of what I need to do right now as I face some difficult issues…
I would simply make the comment here that “Guilt” is perhaps the most-exploitable of all human emotions. You(!) decide that you are unworthy. But the Deity that is tasked with making that judgment didn’t. Instead, the self-judgment came from yourself.
Over many centuries, many humans have sought to exploit “guilt” for their own purposes. For example, “papal indulgences.” (Which single-handedly shaped the national histories of many kingdoms.) Or, various people who claimed that they were your only pathway to God, “to beg for forgiveness,” and that (of course …) only they could deign to grant it.
This I choose to believe: That your pathway to God is direct, and that He already knows you, even far better than you do.
As Jesus Himself said: (John 8:11) “Neither do I condemn you.”
When Jesus died on the cross, “that curtain” was torn in half.
