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.
(Oops! forgot to paste the 2nd one)
Day 163 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius. History is being made in the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2026.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He continues to make massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common. He does not show humility before men, but his actions show humility before God.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore. He is not afraid to call out our enemies.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours. He believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum. Lord please bring your power and might in the daily working of this sacred Nation you gave us.
Amen. Go God beat the devil.

The TRUMP EFFECT. Seems alot of countries lately are getting tired of having their citizens attacked…..raped….and murdered.
Other countries demonstrate/protest, but here only the lunatic Leftists get out on the street. Why?
We don’t need the ‘lunatic left to get out in the4 street” in Europe, as we have our lunatic Houses of Parliament welcoming them with open arms.
Be careful. I got alerts from that site.
Agreed. Two links Charlotte99 posted are suspect……
And here? Nah. We don’t do that stuff…

Iran called this meeting — and they’re already falling apart before the talks even start.
Retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt, Newsmax military contributor, laid out the chaos inside Tehran as U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner flew to Doha. President Trump says Iran requested the meeting. Iran is publicly claiming no actual negotiations are expected. That contradiction alone tells you how fractured the regime is.
Inside the Iranian leadership, 𝐈𝐑𝐆𝐂-𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 with each other. Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Araghchi, and President Pezeshkian are all fighting for position. “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘦𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳, 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳,” General Holt said. “𝘞𝘩𝘺? 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘙𝘎𝘊 — 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 — 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.”
And while the leadership fractures, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞: Iranian citizens are revolting in the cities, and Kurdish fighters are massing on the northern border. The regime is under pressure from within and from the flanks simultaneously.
This is what the end of a terror-sponsoring regime looks like in slow motion. Iran bet on outlasting Trump. Instead it’s hemorrhaging from inside, with no united front to bring to any negotiating table.
𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
Cont…video (5 min) linked…
Yesterday I posted several articles about how it appeared that the Iraqi arrests were tied to our MOU and stopping back channel money laundering by Iran to fund proxies via Iraqi supporters..
I had also seen the reports about activity with the Kurds. Combine that with IRGC high level officers being killed, or dying in accidents. Games seem afoot.
I came to the conclusion that it isn’t Iran stretching out and delaying the peace talks….
It was Trump.
Just like Trump blockaded the blockade in the straight….I think he is outlasting the Mullahs attempt to outlast him. Why? There is much going on below the surface (Iran’s internal fighting, opposition building from within, Iran’s back channel funding of proxies thwarted, extreme pressure tactics, etc)
If you listen to Retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt’s linked video interview he seems to be confirming that same thought.
Tousi TV
If the game is afoot, there is also the item of the Israelis blowing up the tunnels in Lebanon, flushing the IRGC, who replaced the Hezbollah who were previously destroyed by exploding pagers, out of their holes.
Remember on April 7, when Secretary Rubio announced negotiations, I believe he was asked what the Iranian people should do, and he said to the effect they should shelter in place while we negotiate. That has been almost 90 days ago, and we have never yet given the word for the Iranian people to rise up. Reza Pahlavi is also hinting in his rhetoric that this word may come soon. Since that can’t happen without air cover, it is another item saying the game may be afoot.
And the 4th of July 250 is at hand. A dramatic flourish of rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air may indeed be seen, because what a gift it would be if we can finish the job in Iran and add to the celebration.
You did and I appreciated them. Keep em coming.
I sure hope you’re right. This is the best take I’ve seen on the failed peace talks and delaying tactics. It would be something if this is a planned action by Pres. Trump. Thanks for this different way of trying to understand what’s actually happening over there and why.
Iran is definitely in the throws of a fight for dominance. We see that openly in the inability to unite upon one course of action. And in the near automatic denials of what was promised.
Of course, if we can see it, you can bet Trump and company see it and probably did so long before us.
I get leery though in ascribing Trump’s actions to a cause without him having said so. So many false takes arise and then get people upset that Trump didn’t do what they thought he would.
And it gets worse when we ascribe to Trump trust in some unreliable third party. Especially when those are claims recycled from earlier claims that already failed. Such as trying to get an internal revolt or arming the Kurds to invade.
I’m kinda laughing at this a bit, what is ‘normal’ for these barbarians?
I read that and I think ‘okay, so we’ve noticed that the Ferals are in fact Feral “.
They are what they are because they are THIS. And we’ve just noticed this?
For months now, every time U.S. says something, Iran says the very opposite.
The inbreds believe they can win a press war because our idiotic media and TDS.
…….
With all that has gone down and how Iran is still delaying against PTrump and peace negotiations, I’m not sure I believe this guy. How does he even confirm all this and know it’s truth? Let the Kurds invade then and end the IRGC and the regime once and for all. That would be so fitting in the end.
The Most Appalling Supreme Court Opinion In Recent Memory. It’s even worse than you think!
Hans von Spakovsky calls in and explains that Roberts’ opinion was appalling and a complete rewrite of American history, particularly regarding the 14th Amendment. He notes that Justices Alito and Thomas eviscerated it in separate dissents, highlighting that Roberts’ historical account was inaccurate. He criticized Roberts’ selective and distorting use of sources like Thomas Paine and Frederick Douglass, pointing out Thomas’s observation that Douglass viewed Black Americans as citizens due to their equal allegiance to the U.S., unlike illegal aliens who owe allegiance to their native countries.
Sure thing, Slick. Mark Levin says wat?
Don’t you ever sleep? 😎
As soon as I saw who the speaker was, next.
Hans von Spakovsky? What is the problem with him? 🤔
Mark is a mixed bag. Over the top on Israel, but… he’s spot on with his analysis of this terrible decision.
Once you get past the yelling…. 🤣
That decision is worthy of citizens getting out on the street to protest.
Good morning America, how are ya?
78, clear and 92% Humidity in Kankakee.
Wondering if I need to worry about the eggs cooking before they come out of my chickens…
First time a chicken roosted on my arm, I was surprised how their palms are warm flesh like ours.
I will leave a hose dribbling in the shade, so they can cool off by standing in the wet spot.
Its tough on the critters…
Yeah I have been getting my dog out just after first light, 4:34 AM. He also likes to swim in the creek at that time, the water is cooler at 77 F. Otherwise he has been pretty lethargic in this heat and prefers to stay in where there is A/C.
My little dog has had zero desire to go outside.
I’ve had to tell him there is something out there to ‘go see’, he gets very excited by those words and bursts out the door on high alert to scan his domain for any living thing.
It’s quite funny, after a few minutes he looks at me as if to say ‘okay, what are we looking at here? I see nothing”.
😂❤️
A/C? How dare you Yankee!
Wot about the runaway manmade global warming caused by your A/C?
sarc.
My house is proudly 68F.
We have a walkout basement that stays under 70 degrees all summer. It’s where I set up my office.
Winter might go down to 55, but I bundle up.
It’s about 68 down there now. Outside temp going up to mid-nineties this week.
Looks like D.C. will be 102 to 105 this weekend. That will make the 250th celebration pretty darn miserable.
They were having a conversation on local talk radio yesterday about the importance of leaving the dogs HOME during this heat, and caring for pets.
They were saying that a large amount of the kiddie pools today are sold to pet owners !!
They create new things all the time, search this “Dog Splash Pads” and have a look at what they’ve made now for dogs. Dog pools are called “Splash Pads”, who knew?
They are these pools for the doggos with thicker material so they can get in there and play in the water- very cool.
I think that chickens would also be perfectly fine with a splash pad- I’m sure it would be quite entertaining !!
Maybe if you throw a bag of ice in occasionally here in Florida, where there is no cold water.
Said someone whose “splash pads” won’t automatically become mosquito breeding pools.
Some doggos dig for cooler soil. Of course it stops working so cooling holes grow deep.
92% Humidity Kankakee.
78 F with 90% humidity here.
Is that what those South-westerners call a ‘dry heat’? LOL
Back in the day, I remember a Texas 100+ degree day…at the time the humidity was low so we did not notice the high heat…Metroplex area…Houston? Another humidity story that made for a bad hair day.
My wife says similar all the time. I can’t tell.
Men don’t notice that stuff. I swear women worry about their hair for notice by other women. My wife disagrees, but only half-heartedly.
Men do notice highly humid heat. Just not the appearance consequences.
I remember guys from the Southwest in the USCG getting stationed on the NJ coast or in the 9th District (Great Lakes) in the spring, fall or winter and asking about the summer. We told them it would get up into the 80’s but be humid. They all bragged that’s nothing it gets 110 where we live. Then summer got here and they all said but you didn’t tell us about the humidity, how can you stand it? Well they had dismissed the humidity when told them because they had never experienced it.
It’s 69 and humid right now at 7am in NH. It’s barely light as the humidity hangs like fog..
I have been opening up the house in the early morning hours to let in the cool air and this morning, I flung the doors open to find out there wasn’t any cool air out there.
I just got a large delivery of mulch for my gardens, I think it will sit there today. Too hot already !!
I miss Winter.
Well, its after June 21st so it will be here sooner than we may want!
Another big hug for Mr. Carrier!!!!
Grew up in Lubbock in the early 60’s. We had swamp coolers. Typical 15% humidity. The cooler added moisture. It felt great. Then regular air conditioners were installed.
Moved to Austin in the mid-80’s. Took a solid year before I quit sweating every time I went outside.
And Houston……don’t go outside in the summer……..!!!!!!@@@
Ugh thr summer heat lasts until December in Texas where im at…..
Me too. Hate heat and humidity.
Said no one…..ever!!!! 😄
78 with 89% at 0645, humidity here in small town East Texas. Heading to 95 later.
It’s the dreaded heat dome…or, what we’ve forever called summer.
71 and rain on the plain here in Fraudopolis,Mn. Clearing and humid for the rest of the day.
Yeah, from Mn too. I will be leaving for TN for the 4th but, storms upon us all day and through the overnight in the south (Mankato) today. At least I’m going somewhere people appreciate our country and celebrate with like minded people.
Can’t wait
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process. No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Dershowitz says Congress can fix the SCOTUS ruling….
+++
President Trump better constitutional lawyer than Chief Justice Roberts: Alan Dershowitz
Republicans should start impeachment hearings against Roberta and Clowny-Beret. They took an oath to uphold the Constitution but are “Trans-Constitutionalists” pretending to be what they are not, giving the power of citizenship to foreigners- the Constitution was created for Ourselves (Americans) and THEIR POSTERITY. This is treason.
The decisions that have come out of the court of late are an indictment of the state of America’s law schools and the ABA. Law school accreditation must change, they too are indoctrination centers for leftists.
Congress, the Senate, won’t even pass the SAVE act. Anyone really think they have enough patriots there to actually overturn the SC decision on this? Roberts knows that as well as we do and he’s counting on the pressure and blame to go on them and away from him just like with Obamacare. Congress could have fixed that to, said they would, never did.
I’m not sure if the Senate was 100% Republicans they could even convict a district judge like Boasberg or Justice KB Jackson. About half the GOP would vote against convicting. The party is filled with RINO’s and traitors.
Don’t trust him.
He’s a RINO lawyer.
I’m just appalled by this SC decision. The opportunity to clearly use common sense to reverse current practice of granting citizenship just due to “landing on shore” was never more timely. Just being present by the mother at birth including recently landed shows no intent for either parent to desire to be a citizen nor any effort to comply with the normal process required. It denigrates all those who do so; those who apply, go through classes, pay the costs and pass the tests clearly want to be citizens and to integrate into cultural norms. Landed births do not. Justices Roberts and unfortunately Barrett show who they are. Any understanding of the founders intent would provide direction that “birthright citizenship ” was not intended; if so, why was the formal process to apply, train, pass and swear to citizenship initiated?
Now Congress can work around the edges such as tighter time restrictions on landed status or entry restrictions but if the Court is unwilling to address common sense founder intent, new efforts will likely be reversed via judicial challenges. Shame on this Court for a social justice decision.
COMMON SENSE is never the objective for socialists/communists! Quite the opposite. CHAOS is their weapon.
Community Organizers
Activists
Coordinated, well funded protests/riots
Obstruction of regular society activities-stop traffic flow, obstructing business and government activities, obstructing other freedom of speech rallies, etc.
There are so many ways these socialists/communists can cause chaos to get their way.
Most conservatives/silent majority do not push back in these tactics and it just grows and gets more chaotic. The police and conservative politicians are reluctant to intervene because of the negative press and legal activism. Our voters don’t even go to the polls to attempt to stop this.
Hopefully we are waking up to what is happening to our country. The 2026 elections will tell.
JMO
Wishing the female supremes (which includes Roberts) a safe and expeditious journey to the afterlife.
Always appreciate President Trump’s stated reliance on messy Congress! He remains intentional and unwavering. The BEST MAN!
And our congress is nothing but money grubbing globalist shills.
When was the last time Congress took anything seriously? or got to work “today” on something?
When was the last time Congress took anything seriously?
When they voted to go on VACATION!
And give themselves a raise in pay.
Unfortunately Mr. President, they won’t do it. You and they would have the support of a majority of Americans but they don’t care. If you can convince them to pass this then great.
In the meantime, maybe you can put in some kind of EO like Sundance suggested yesterday making a pregnancy test mandatory to get a pass into America for all foreign women ages 10-60. The tourism industry might not like it, might have a fit and sue, but something needs to be done asap to protect our citizenship that Roberts and Barrett just ripped to shreds. IMO.
It is sad when the courts are an enemy to your country and people.
I pray that some attorneys and congressman get together to bring this back to the Supreme Court or otherwise find a way to fix this. This is ridiculous.
We are so screwed:
POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE: 29-Year-Old Democratic Socialist OUSTS 15-Term Incumbent Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s 1st District
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/political-earthquake-29-year-old-democratic-socialist-ousts/
Who would have thought that maybe moving the U.S. Space Command headquarters out of the state and shutting down Colorado’s globally/recognized climate research center would have pissed over voters?
Colorado has earned every removal.
Better yet, who cares?
Congrats to your team, as you replaced a loony with a total nutjob.
It’s Ronald Reagan’s “one generation away from extinction”….
We are seeing that “generation” right now.
Not sure which is least surprising – that during a low turn-out primary the communists out hustle votes in a deep blue area…or that our most recent troll ECD is such a blithering moron…
Bout the same.
Excellent summations, by you and Harrison…
Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. Perhaps ECD & Pretti were fellow travelers.
At the very least they were created by the same medical/pharma complex petri dish as the dancing covid nurses & docs sprang from.
There have been quite a few political nurses out there, that make me ashamed, for them. And doctors, too.
Tough call, fer sure. 😉
….saadly not many in the current CONgre$$ paying attention what great pres.RWR said some 40 yrs. ago….include Rubio otherwise it would be his priority normalize relationship with Orthodox Russia..not just sending 2 real estate brokers…
And there will be no difference in how votes in congress go.
An old has been gets voted out. Good riddance.
She won’t be the last…brace yourself, America.
…. if people as him- DSA …….blast public with mantra ” we promise no more wars” and have a “tootsie smile “as Hussein O -guillible ,naive,bread & games masses …will vote for them….. that’s how “we are so screwed”.( Lulu – even on this site)..btw ..not only those who adore DSA are p*ss off with mania of current war….
I am reminded of Bette Midler’s song, “come in-a my house”.
The dems welcomed the DSA in. It seems to me most Democrats are down with hating America and taking our country into the world of Marxism.
Who in our government is blocking south African asylum seeker requests?
Watch Col Chris Wyatt’s youtube. He has been an informal liaison with potential refugees
What is the deal with the South African Refugee “denial” letters?
Refugee Aspirants’ Denial Letters | Chris Wyatt Reports
Col Chris says the US govt is not forthcoming with information. I think lefty Biden holdovers still entrenched may have done this. He says these applications had to have state dept reviews by State Dept lawyers
HE SAYS REASONS COULD BE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES, DRUG USE AND LYING TO THE INTERVIEWERS
An act of omission is an act of commission he says.
Even if the cases were dismissed/expunged, so people have to be HONEST and confess about everything. Expunged means the SA govt still has records and the US govt considers that a lie
He says even approval letters can be denied on finding out of any adverse past history.
Are former SADF & Apartheid era police members INTENTIONALLY denied Refugee Status?
If they are being denied because of past criminal activity that’s legit, then maybe the state dept. is trying to prevent more criminals from being allowed to slip into this country from foreign countries. Is there an appeals process for the denied to plead their case and present evidence? Sounds o cold when you first read about it but maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s our govt finally doing the job of protecting our immigration allowances. I hope they get this straightened out and the real refugees who want to come here are allowed to.
I suspect it is CRT DEI bigotry.
In the same way blacks can’t be racists, whites can’t be victims of blacks.
White South Africans are evil discriminators!
Caucasians can’t be refugees! Denied!
Or some equivalent propaganda lie.
Yet, we live with the problems created by the current illegals…murder, rape, mayhem…
Very sad but I guess, too, they were warned.
Denial letters point to the problems leftover from the O’Biden era?
Urgent recall for popular air conditioner due to fire risks: Stop using NOW
Thousands of air conditioners throughout the US have been recalled just as a ‘mega’ heat dome prepares to broil over 30 states with dangerous heat and humidity.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warned consumers to immediately stop using over 13,000 Amana window air conditioners and through-the-wall units due to a serious risk of fire.
According to CPSC, the problem stems from a heating element that can stay on and energized even when the air conditioner is supposed to be off. This can lead to the unit overheating, melting its plastic components and starting a fire.
Amana said that the faulty units were sold nationwide and were purchased between April 2025 and December 2025, mainly through dealers and direct sales, for $850 to $1,500.
The impacted through-the-wall (TTW) air conditioning units feature model numbers PBH113J35AA, PBH093J35AA, PBH073J35AA, PBE123J35AA, or PBE093J35AA should stop using their AC immediately.
As for the air conditioning window units, anyone with the model numbers AH183J35AA, AH123J35AA, AH093J35AA, AE183J35AA, AE123J35AA and AE093J35AA is at risk of their units starting a fire and should pull the AC at once.
The model and serial numbers of the affected air conditioners are on the front bottom of the base pan, which is visible when the plastic covering is removed.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amana is Whirlpool junk.
Wrong – not a Whirlpool made product (which as an aside have proven to me to be the most reliable frig/freezers and are consistently given high reliability marks by repairmen).
In 2014, Amana was acquired by Daikin Industries, LTD. Daikin is a Japanese appliance corporation that produces the most air conditioners in the world.

Oh noes, it’s a heat dome.
This would be a good time to give thanks to the Lord our God, for Willis Carrier, 1876-1950.
Air conditioners that use heaters?
Yeah, it could heat in the winter. but heating while cooling is stupid.
Took some searching but this is a song from Leonard Bernstein’s music to West Side Story. Notice the part where the song lyrics are “Everything Free in America.”

Tina Peters is still in play…
Reminder, just recently, Tina Peters Attorney Peter Ticktin says not only do we have the President of Venezuela, Maduro, we also got his BOOKKEEPER.
“When all of this stuff starts breaking and the American public finds out what really happened here.. that the BIG LIE is that there is a BIG LIE.. then we’re going to be in a completely different position
If Venezuela isn’t cooperating with the machines, and if they’re point this out and letting us know who these people are in Serbia that are actually controlling the data centers.. the fact is we wouldn’t have Donald Trump as President of there wasn’t interference with the Data Centers in Belgrade Serbia for the 2024 election.”

Kind of tired of the “when all of this stuff starts breaking” kind of stuff.
here here. or is it hear hear.
Either way, this stuff is pretty much fantasy written to dupe people. So very little of it pans out.
Again, the words “when” ‘‘this all comes out. Spare me. It either never comes out or is a watered down dud. Tell me earth shattering news when it actually is and when it actually is released. No more wait and see stuff.
??? A fraud indictment maybe???
Unless they name names, we are tired of the tic tok crap.
Why are John Roberts and Norm Eisenhower friends? When did that begin?
They probably hang out with Sheldon Snook and his husband, Mary McCord for dinner.
Eisen. I hate auto spellcheck.
Correct spelling but he’s the same POS. Roberts deserves friends like that turd and Weissman.
“… Unqualified midwit and DEI hire Lisa Cook will not survive her due process review. Unless Bill Pulte made up his allegations of garden-variety mortgage fraud, which seems unlikely, to say the least, Cook cannot remain in a trusted position that sets rates and rules for mortgages.

Trump will be able to fire her. Sorry, NBC.

I appreciate this astute lawyer finding the nuggets in convoluted opinions that makes the upside-down right-side up again.
Savor the anticipation of the Divine Boomerang coming for this one.
If I recall an idiot senator on a Sunday talk, show said that information gained Lisa Cook was illegal. I can’t remember who said that.
She fired.
Covid and Coffee blog lawyer is the best!
They have already demonized Pulte so much that he can’t even be accepted as Acting anything.
Every accusation against Cook will be true, but Pulte is so evil, he can’t be allowed to tarnish Saint Cook.
Or some such blatant rubbish.
They don’t have to “accept” him… POTUS appointed him & that’s absolute.
He’s going to do what he was appointed to do – ‘full speed ahead & damn the torpedos!’.
He found the evidence, and she was terminated prematurely… now she gets “due process”, as in a chance to prove her innocence – only fair, according to Jeff Childres in his essay.
The evidence is solid and it’s only a matter of time; Truth will out.
ADODNI Wm. Pulte WILL do it all again for another bunch of criminals from where he is now.
Trump recognizes a Goose that lays Golden Eggs when he finds one.
AND he does it again – ‘we didn’t win short, so… we win long
“… Before this case: the executive order was blocked by every lower court, the constitutional question was treated as settled, and the political consensus was that any challenge was frivolous.
After this case: the three smartest justices wrote at length —91 pages in Thomas’s case— laying out a fully developed alternative constitutional framework and calling birthright citizenship the Supreme Court’s “most important issue.”
Kavanaugh supplied a roadmap for Congress. A Republican senator introduced the Dingy Harry bill within hours of the ruling. The DOJ platformed investigations into birth tourism fraud.
The question is now officially unsettled in the minds of four members of the Court’s majority. As Special Assistant to the President during Trump 1.0, Theo Wold drafted the original executive order on birthright citizenship, which was never signed. Like me, Theo encourages taking a broader perspective:
Not just Theo. Conservative columnist { Kurt Schlichter, writing for Townhall }, also advised stepping back from the blackpill precipice:
“Cheer Up”! The Birthright Citizenship Case Moves Us Toward Inevitable Victory” 30 June, 2026
…
If you view the Trump v. Barbara decision in absolute, one-and-done terms, then it was a stinging loss. But if you see it as *a step forward, a necessary,* stepwise increment toward reversing a schizophrenic, controversial, 128-year-old law —the long way, just as Roe v. Wade was reversed— then it is a real win. And you don’t even have to stretch to find it.
…”

BTW…We’re also still waiting for the Supremes to reverse ‘Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905)’ …so we have more big celebrations to look forward to.
The Political Upside of Losing the Birthright Citizenship Case
1.
First, liberal anger (and conservative complacency) would’ve driven more pro-Democrat voters to the polls during the midterms. Fun fact: In the 2022 midterms, after the Dobbs decision FINALLY overturned Roe v. Wade, voters who said Dobbs was their most important issue broke more than two-to-one for the Dems. In states with abortion-related measures on the ballot, the GOP’s vote margin dropped by nearly five points.
2.
Second, overturning birthright citizenship would’ve hijacked the news cycle, removing focus on the Democratic Socialist wackaloons who are actively taking over the Democratic Party. It’s in the GOP’s interest to keep a white-hot spotlight on the Democrats’ lurch towards socialism, communism, and frothing hatred of all things Israel. (The longer, the better.)
3.
Third, if the Supreme Court hadn’t demonstrated its independence, the Democrats’ pledge to pack the court — and contort the Constitution — would no longer look like an insane overreach. If President Trump had successfully overturned birthright citizenship by signing an executive order, the Dems would’ve gone scorched-earth on the Supreme Court, accusing it of being in the pocket of the president (as well as Big Tech, Big Corporations, AIPAC, the “Epstein class,” yada yada), a rudderless institution, and subservient to the GOP.
(They still will, of course — but after Trump lost his most important legal case, their argument was gutted. In hindsight, it looks kind of silly.)
It also opens an opportunity for the GOP to tackle the immigration problem by other means:
https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2026/06/30/the-political-upside-of-losing-the-birthright-citizenship-case-n4954530
I don’t call any of this good news.
What I see here is ‘be happy that we’re able to keep standing down and enabling the crazy”.
You don’t win a battle by tucking in your tail and sitting in the corner- you take them straight on.
We’re where we are right now because we should have been doing that decades ago. You don’t appease crazy, you remove it and you certainly don’t act to continue being viewed by them as passive.
Blatantly: Whitewashing, excusing, justifying, you name it.
Exactly. Number 3 is stupid as hell.
Trying to paint a good picture on an awful situation created by the Roberts Barrett duo at the SC. Not going to work. Interesting scenario though.
I hope they investigate this….

The Supreme Court today upheld birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens.
Three conservative justices — Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch — dissented. Justice Samuel Alito’s dissent went beyond legal history and constitutional text. He issued a warning about what this ruling makes possible going forward. Alito posed the national security scenario as a hypothetical that isn’t hypothetical at all. Suppose a woman enters the United States only long enough to give birth, then immediately returns to her country of origin. Suppose that country is 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. The child grows up abroad, raised with “hatred of this country,” and never visits America during that time. “𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴,” Alito wrote. “𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴. 𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵. 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯 — 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵.” Read that plainly. The Supreme Court has now ruled that America must extend permanent citizenship — with every legal protection that status carries — to individuals raised as adversaries by governments that openly hate us.
China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea could each 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩-𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬’ 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 by ensuring birth on American soil.
Once citizenship attaches, it is constitutionally permanent. Alito called this one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court and a “𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺’𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.”
The dissenters see the long-term consequences the majority chose not to confront.

That statement is what I believed the court would have to consider as the #1 reason that they would support President Trumps EO.
Aid and comfort to the enemy??
Hypothetical…. What does the US President do when he/she realizes the enemy of the People of The United States is inside the US proper, in every branch and every level of our society/govt and actively working to destroy the country but are not in military uniforms?
Why did we separate from the crown? Why did we fight the Japanese?
the constitution is a suicide pact?
Only in the minds of Leftists who don’t care what the Constitution says in the first place. Like all the Justices in this Birthright case.
Keep fighting the Commies! As Rush said so often, they will never give up, so we must not either.
Who is Authorized to Overturn SCOTUS’s Interpretation of the Birthright Citizenship Clause?
After reading many comments on this topic (as well as ideas on how President Trump and/or Congress might address it), I have come to the conclusion that the devastating consequences of what is arguably the worst—and practically irreversible—interpretation for patriots have not yet become apparent.
I. EO 14,160: “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship”
On Inaugoration Day, President Trump ordered that the privilege of U.S. citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the U.S. when that person’s father was not a U.S. Citizen/lawful permanent resident and mother at DOB
was either
*unlawfully present or
*temporary (e.g Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a tourist, student, or work visa) .
II. What is the Dispute about?
14th Amendment, Section 1, Sentence 1: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
The dispute centers primarily on the interpretation of their State’s (permanent) residence.
III. SCOTUS ruling [1]
“Children born of parents unlawfully or temporarily present in the United States; […] are thus subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. They satisfy both elements of the Citizenship Clause: they are ‘born . . . in the United States’ and “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Under the Constitution, they are citizens at birth.” (p. 12; bolding is mine).
p 22: “The explicit invocation of residence for state citizenship only highlights its absence from the criteria for U. S. citizenship.See Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall. 36, 74 (1873) (a person can ‘be a citizen of the United States without being a citizen of a State’). […] The question is whether a person is “subject to the jurisdiction” of the government of the country in which he is physically present, even if he is only there temporarily..” [2]
IV.. How can the Constitution be amended?
Article V of the Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by
*Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or
*a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
[1] It is well worth reading Justice Thomas’s principal dissenting opinion, because
[2 The 14th Amendment was adopted on 7/9/1868. In The Schooner Exch. v. McFaddon, 11 U.S. 116, 136 (1812) opinoed that the U.S. have full and complete power—its absolute and complete jurisdiction—over temporary visitors. I wonder if the framers had the owners of a ship in mind they lawfully and peaceably pursuing her voyage from Baltimore, MD to St. Sebatian, Spain: On 12/30/1810 they were violently and forcibly taken by certain persons, acting under the decrees and orders of Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French.
Yet, many who have been here over 30-40 years…have not even attempted to obtain citizenship.
Or learn English.
There is no shortage of immigration lawyers available to start the process–way way back and now.
If disinterested then, they are disinterested now…as well as their offspring…
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation.
All those birthright citizens owe taxes
That sounds idiotic…. the IRS is the problem not a solution.
@Smith-“That sounds idiotic…. the IRS is the problem not a solution.”
Why is it a problem for those “Americans” to pay their taxes?
If you or I fail to pay the IRS, what happens? Asking for real Americans…
Harry is a troll…
It’s how they got Al Capone.
on this idea – how are people already forgetting that President Trump and even Treasury Secretary made mention a few months back about the creation of the External Revenue Service?
I can see such an agency collecting taxes from those who claim to be citizens but are not paying taxes due to living, working overseas.

Patriotic Americans, gathering at the National Mall, along with the millions and millions watching at home, find the senate lacking in supporting America and Americans, again.
Globalist, anti-MAGA / America First, senate leader Thune has missed the “sea-change” that is occurring in DC.
What “sea-change” is that?
Far from the “traditional party in the White House losing seats in the house and senate”, the 2026 mid-terms will be a launching pad for the upcoming two years with the MAGA / America First majorities growing in the House and Senate.
The majorities will move President Trump’s remaining MAGA / America First legislative agenda at warp-speed.
President Trump, during the first 528 days of his administration, has been setting the table for the upcoming mid-terms.
He did it by defunding the democrats and RINOs ……. removing the CIA’s domestic and foreign illicit fund caches that have, in the past 4 decades, been used to fund globalist candidates and to fix elections to get the globalist candidates from both parties in position of authority in the 3 branches of the federal government.
For 2025 – 2026 , with no illicit CIA funding, the globalists / communists have had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to put forth their weakest slate of candidates in America’s history.
President Trump has a full-court press on passing the “Save America Act.”
Trump announces first-ever Republican midterm convention ahead of 2026 elections.
President Trump’s MAGA / America First movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the best leader President Trump.

“The brilliant Justice Clarence Thomas explains the proper role of stare decisis – 1/3“_
(Its a link)
Stare Decisis (et Non Quieta Movere)
is a judicial doctrine under which courts follow the principles, rules, or standards established in their prior decisions when deciding cases involving (closely) similar issues.
The question whether stare decisis is compatible with originalism has occupied both originalists and their critics [1].
On 5/26/09 [2], in Montejo v. LA (No. 07-1529) overruled (Steven’s, Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer dissenting) MI v. Jackson (No. 84-1531, decided on 4/1/86), in writing the court’s opinion, “originalist” Justice Scalia laid out these four factors to consider rejecting::
It is up to the beholder to determine what reasons led self described “originalist” Barrett to side with the majority in Trump v. Barbara.
[1] Overrule Stare Decisis | National Affairs
[2] There are conservative analysts who compare Justices Stevens (appointed by Ford) and Souter (appointed by “W”) to Barrett (by Trump), who described herself as an “originalist” in the mold of her mentor Scalia [3]

The world’s third-richest man dumped his entire stake in a NYC rent-stabilized apartment fund for six cents on the dollar. Not a typo. Six cents.
That is what Mamdani’s socialist utopia looks like in practice. A $268 billion man taking a bath just to get as far away from New York City housing policy as humanly possible.

Immaterial to Brin. So glad he brought us the moonbat ship that is Google politics. He’s not quite the nut his partner is, but still CA loony.
What are the Economic Implications of President Trump’s Refusal to Automatically Renewing the USMCA?
I. Prelude
Under President Trump’s leadership, trade agreements are primarily used as agricultural and manufactural policy tools (rather than as tariff frameworks): Unlike the 25y static nature of NAFTA, signed by “W” on 12/17/92, in (most likely) activating Article 34.7 (“Sunset Clause“) of US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) today, President Trump opted for a decade long expiration period with annual reviews until the pact it scheduled to terminate in ’36 (precedent: KORUS FTA amendment of 9/18).
II. Major Implications
The evil side works smart and slowly, “inch by inch everything’s a cinch”.
Keep the American people busy with constant distractions, everything’s a five-alarm fire, “we’re doomed, we’re not gonna make it”.
Through decades of deceit evil has commandeered control of the West through fraud, effectively we are captured at the helm.
This includes governments; Executive, Legislative and * Judicial, state & federal, entertainment (NEWS), sports, education etc. …everything is fraud.
* See the SC making up the meaning of the 14th Amendment and its relationship with birthright citizenship, The Save America Act stalled 80% + popularity, musicians refusing to perform at our 250 year anniversary of the USA, the thugs in the WNBA and on and on… This shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Though they are few at around 20% – but with their stolen megaphones constantly selling their false narratives, everybody wants non-citizens to vote, or child mutilation?
Get in our wayback machine, the UniParty knew, when Nixon won 49-1 in 1972, that something had to be done. They started the slow erosion of American Pride with a constant droning, pulling at loose threads until we get rips in the fabric of our society.
Just a few things in that time, Kissinger/Rockefeller opened China, the WEF was formed, SPLC was formed, the enemy MSM lined up to destroy Nixon/Agnew, Roe v Wade…
Despite the headwinds, I believe our side, the good, have the real numbers in the USA and growing exponentially in the world, see the FIFA fans seeing the real USA for the first time, this is why the assassination attempts at our leader…VSGDJT, the constant Nazi crap…
Focus, discipline with MAGA! love of God, Patriots vigilance, love of country, we can and I believe will prevail.
Know where your family is as thru the 4th and going forward as absolutely “Nothing Is off the Table!”
Please Lord, Bless the USA, Bless our Great American President Donald J Trump! Bless the Deplorable’s, Bless the warriors of the West throughout the world, the real fight for the USA and the West is ongoing and will continue beyond 2028!
Prying the grip of these wicked being’s fingers/claws on our throats is going to be ugly, but must be done.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name! Amen!!

It’s Time To Stop Pretending That Migrants Are Entitled To Equal Citizenship
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/its-time-stop-pretending-migrants-are-entitled-equal-citizenship#comment-stream
From the article, he’s explaining that we’re NOT “A Melting Pot”, in these quotes he explains that America has always, until recently, been very selective and protective of just who we allowed here into our country, we’ve been totally brainwashed and manipulated by what amounts to the bullshit- as he shows us, and this has all really totally destroyed what we were that they built if we’re being honest.
George Washington instituted the Naturalization Act of 1790 which restricted immigration to people mostly from European nations. John Adams instituted the Alien Friends Act 1798 which allowed the quick deportation of migrants found to be initiating civil disruption and sedition. He also enforced an extended probation period of 14 years before any migrant gained citizenship rights (instead of the original five year period).
Even Thomas Jefferson, who opposed the Alien Friends Act and had a highly liberal (and I would argue naive) ideal of America as an “open asylum for the oppressed”, supported some restrictions and regulations to immigration. It was a different time, but the rules still make sense today.
Teddy Roosevelt enforced the Immigrant Act of 1907, which banned the citizenship of any foreigners from cultures that practiced polygamy (which included Muslims) and focused on migration among groups that could easily assimilate into American society. Once again, this is perfectly acceptable and rational. There’s nothing wrong with enforcing logical standards.
Yup. A melting pot produces sludge. And that’s what we’ve got now.
“There’s nothing wrong with enforcing logical standards.” Somebody tell that to the Justices Roberts and Barrett.
yep
Yes. Get rid of dual/multiple citizenship in America. Would go a long way to help prevent problems cropping up later on with many immigrants like Mamdani. Is he a dual citizenship holder? Make a law that says you cannot run for office unless you hold American citizenship only. You’re either American or not. Pick your country.

President Trump welcomed 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 into the Oval Office Tuesday — the former Mesa County, Colorado election clerk who spent over a year in state prison after being convicted of tampering with voting equipment in the wake of the 2020 election.
“𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨,” Trump said, seated beside her. “𝘚𝘩𝘦’𝘴 72, 73 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘭𝘥.

Peters, 𝟕𝟐, was sentenced to nine years for her role in copying Mesa County’s voting system data — an effort she and her allies said was meant to preserve evidence of irregularities.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted her sentence under pressure from the Trump administration, and she walked free on parole 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏.
Trump used the meeting to needle Colorado’s elections process, claiming the state’s all-mail voting system cost Republicans dearly: “𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 — 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘈𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘮𝘢.”
A presidential pardon Trump issued for Peters in December was largely symbolic — her conviction was a state crime, beyond a president’s reach. The Oval Office visit wasn’t.

She uses the word 𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 because that’s exactly what it is. She entered the country illegally. She is not working. She is not assimilating. She is sustained entirely by federal benefits unlocked by her U.S.-born daughter. The child is an American citizen—so the family qualifies for food assistance, Medicaid, and housing support.
The illegal mother gets to 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐭. This is not an edge case. In 2023, nine percent of all U.S. births—320,000 babies—went to illegal alien mothers.

The decision not only defied all common sense but also the “lear-ned” justices supposedly have no ability to research and apply the context of the creation of birthright citizenship.
More pretending.
The decision continues and creates more financial obligations for us all.
Johnny Roberts would call it a “tax”.
That is legal fraud of the highest order and it’s maddening to think it’s ok to do it.
I believe there was a time when we were hard-nosed about this, adopting the babies while deporting the parents. Then in the 1970s, we let the mothers stay, gave them free apartments, food stamps, AFDC. It was the Great Society. Either way, the little babies are innocent, and they are not responsible for their parents’ decisions. And the problem has grown, because now we are warehousing the entire bottom quintile, as entry-level jobs have been largely exported.
They are trying to kill us all.
Trump EPA Approves Two More ‘Forever Chemical’ Pesticides for Use on Most Widely Grown U.S. Crops
WASHINGTON— Two new “forever chemical” pesticides are among multiple dangerous pesticides approved today by the Trump Environmental Protection Agency for use on food crops, including corn, soybeans, wheat, kiwi, oats, peas, broccoli and coffee.
The controversial approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides.

CNN anchor Abby Phillip tried to frame Elon Musk as a 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 — asking Scott Jennings whether Musk’s foreign business dealings across adversary nations should concern Americans. Jennings’ answer lasted exactly two seconds before the framing collapsed.
“𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘌𝘭𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘬,” Jennings said. “𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘰𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵.”
The quiet pivot landed like a freight train. While CNN was building a case against Musk for legal international business dealings, the sitting and former President of the United States and his son were documented meeting with Chinese government officials — meetings the Biden team denied until the photos surfaced.

Musk produces electric vehicles, rockets, and the satellite internet that undergirds U.S. military communications. His interests align with American technological dominance in the exact industries that matter most for national security — not against them.
The host pushed back, trying to separate Musk’s success from the conflict-of-interest question. Jennings rejected the frame cleanly: having the world’s leading electric car maker, rocket company, and global satellite network headquartered in America and aligned with American interests is not a liability.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Tuesday that children born in the U.S. to parents here illegally are still citizens at birth, with Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion joined by Justice Barrett and the Court’s three liberals to strike down President Trump’s executive order.
Border czar Tom Homan’s reaction wasn’t retreat. It was a promise to hit harder. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 — 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 𝘶𝘱 𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 𝘶𝘱 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.”

Visibly pregnant women should not get past Customs/passport checkpoint unless they have a real US passport.
Back in the day, Panamanian women would sit in a car in the parking lot, in labor and enter the ER of Gorgas Hospital, when the contractions were 3 minutes apart, thinking they could get citizenship for the impending offspring….Yeah, no. Did not happen.
All they got was a piece of unofficial for US purposes, paper from the US hospital acknowledging that they gave birth to said offspring and were given a ride back across the open border between the Canal Zone and Panama City. No birth certificate. I gave them and “E” for effort, but no bananas. And had to get a Panamanian birth certificate for said offspring.
I grew up in El Paso and this was extremely common. Ciudad Juarez and El Paso have significant economic ties and crossing the border for day shopping (in either direction) wasn’t particularly regulated. They figured they’d catch anyone at the inland highway border stops. Anyhoo, women would come across and then check into the ER at the county hospital and voila! a US citizen is born. This was 30+ years ago. As an aside, citizens basically couldn’t get into the ER there because it was so packed with illegals who were taking advantage of the laws that you couldn’t turn anyone away from an ER.
30+ years ago. It’s only gotten worse.

The covid ‘vaccines’ are not traditional vaccines. The definition of “vaccine” was suddenly changed to include them. There is a cheap, easy way to test for some mutagenicity that might cause cancer.
The Ames (and others) test is a quick, inexpensive biological assay used to determine if a chemical can cause DNA (cancer) mutations using genetically engineered strains of bacteria.
components were apparently tested, but the covid ‘vaccines’ were not tested as finally formulated to make the functioning ‘vaccine’, because ‘vaccines’ are known to not contain mutagens….
sort of a non-testing tautology. no need to cheaply test because no need to test.
No vaccines have ever been tested for carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or impairment of fertility – it’s stated plainly in every single manufacturer’s package insert that comes in the box with every vial of vaccine – section 13.1.

The evening of June 30 was dominated by Majles Speaker Qalibaf’s sweeping televised address on the Islamabad MOU, in which he confirmed the free passage of the Strait of Hormuz is limited to 60 days, claimed $12 billion of Iran’s frozen assets will be released for unrestricted purchases, and declared Iran’s missile capabilities and enrichment rights are non-negotiable — while accusing Secretary of State Rubio of actively working to undermine the agreement during his Gulf tour. Diplomatic confusion over US-Iran technical talks in Doha deepened as Iran’s FM spokesperson, Iran’s Doha embassy, and Qatar’s Foreign Ministry all denied any high-level US-Iran meeting was planned, even as US envoys Kushner and Witkoff arrived in Qatar and Al Arabiya reported Iran could receive $3 billion in frozen assets by end of week; the Wall Street Journal separately reported an internal power struggle between moderates and hardliners in Tehran is threatening the diplomatic track. Meanwhile, the IMO suspended Strait of Hormuz evacuation operations for over 8,500 stranded seafarers after Iran attacked a ship last Thursday, Oman floated a controversial Iran-Oman joint toll plan for Hormuz shipping, and the Abdorrahman Boroumand Foundation reported Iran has executed at least 816 people since January 2026, including 111 in June alone.
Q: Was it projected by anyone in advance of the current war that the elimination of top level Iranian leaders would most likely lead to more radical lower level leaders and, at the very least, lead to uncertainty about who was in control during a peace agreement?
Yes. Before the current war with Iran began, U.S. intelligence and independent analysts explicitly projected that eliminating top Iranian leaders would likely empower hardliners and create uncertainty about control during negotiations.
Key prewar projections:
| Projection | Source | Timing |
|————|——–|——–|
| A CIA intelligence report completed shortly before hostilities suggested removing the supreme leader could empower hardliners within the Revolutionary Guards
| The National Intelligence Council’s February assessment concluded that if Supreme Leader Khamenei were killed, the most probable outcome would be appointment of another hardline successor from the existing elite, preserving ideological hostility toward Israel and the West
| Analysts warned that killing top leaders may not moderate Tehran’s behavior and could produce “continuity with radicalization,” especially if the IRGC gains larger strategic decision-making role
| Experts noted that increased assassinations could enhance regime resilience while promoting less experienced individuals to higher ranks, who may intensify defiance
About uncertainty during peace agreements:
The prewar assessments also found that no unified opposition coalition was poised to take over if leadership was killed, meaning the establishment would attempt to preserve power continuity. Currently, persistent internal disagreements remain among Iranian regime leaders over concessions to accept, with various power centers jockeying to influence negotiations. The untested leadership of Mojtaba Khamenei (Supreme Leader’s son) has yet to appear publicly, leaving uncertainty about his guidance as supreme leader.
The assumption that removing key leaders could bring rapid regime change has proven to be a miscalculation, with assassinations leaving little room for negotiation as those stepping up appear far less willing to compromise.
Q: Did the Israeli IDF do most of the assassinations?
Yes. The Israeli IDF conducted most of the assassinations of top Iranian leaders in the current war.
Key facts about the assassination campaign:
Scale: Israel has eliminated around 30–48 senior Iranian officials, including the supreme leader, defense minister, IRGC commander, intelligence minister, and armed forces chief of staff.
Opening day strike: On February 28, 2026, Israeli strikes killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and 40+ senior military commanders simultaneously in Tehran.
High-profile targets killed: Ali Larijani (de facto leader), Aziz Nasirzadeh (defense minister), Mohammad Pakpour (IRGC commander), Esmail Khatib (intelligence minister), and Abdolrahim Mousavi (armed forces chief).
Strategy: Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the military to “continuously sever the head of the octopus” — a systematic campaign unprecedented in modern warfare.
Division of responsibility: In the US-Israeli campaign, Israel was left to hunt and kill Iranian leaders ruthlessly, using its intelligence apparatus built for targeted eliminations.
Q: In an internal power struggle currently between moderates and hardliners in Tehran, who will most likely win?
Hardliners (particularly IRGC-aligned factions) are most likely to prevail.
Iran’s political system has long favored hardliners structurally—the Supreme Leader, IRGC, judiciary, and Guardian Council hold veto power over elected bodies like the presidency and parliament. Recent events have further tilted the balance decisively toward them.
Key Recent Context (2026)
– Khamenei’s death and succession: Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes in February 2026 during the Iran war. His son Mojtaba Khamenei, widely viewed as hardline and backed by the IRGC, was quickly selected as the new Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts. This consolidated dynastic hardliner control rather than opening space for moderates or reformists.
– War’s impact: Israeli/U.S. strikes and assassinations (including figures like Ali Larijani) eliminated or weakened pragmatic/moderate voices who might have favored diplomacy. This had the “perverse” effect of empowering IRGC hardliners and concentrating power in radical security factions.
– Current dynamics: President Masoud Pezeshkian (a relative centrist) leads the government but has diminished influence. Hardliners dominate the IRGC, security apparatus, and key decision-making (e.g., Strait of Hormuz policy). There are public tensions over U.S. talks/ceasefire implementation—civilian officials seek sanctions relief, while IRGC hardliners prioritize maximalist positions like control of Hormuz and resistance to concessions.
Official denials of “hardliners vs. moderates” exist, but analysts consistently describe real fractures favoring the former.
Why Hardliners Are Favored Long-Term
– Institutional advantages: The Supreme Leader’s office, IRGC (parallel military/economic power), and clerical bodies outrank the elected president. Mojtaba’s appointment reinforces this.
– Crisis mode: Wars, sanctions, and external pressure historically strengthen security hawks over reformers. Moderates/reformists (e.g., associated with Rouhani, Zarif, or Pezeshkian) have been sidelined repeatedly.
– No viable moderate alternative: Reformists lack deep institutional power or broad elite military support. Public discontent exists (e.g., protests), but it hasn’t translated into regime-threatening moderate gains.
Caveats: Factional infighting continues (e.g., over U.S. deals), and hardliner dominance could bring risks like economic strain or escalation. Outcomes aren’t monolithic—pragmatic tactical shifts happen—but the structural trajectory strongly favors hardliners maintaining or expanding control.
This aligns with patterns in Iran’s post-1979 history: external pressure and leadership transitions tend to consolidate power among ideological hardliners rather than erode it.
Danny Citrinowicz (senior researcher at Tel Aviv’s Institute for National Security Studies / INSS, and a former Israel Defense Intelligence official with expertise on Iran).
In early March 2026, amid the Israel-Iran conflict, he told the Financial Times (summarizing the Israeli government’s perspective):
“If we can have a coup, great. If we can have people on the streets, great. If we can have a civil war, great. Israel couldn’t care less about the future…[or] the stability of Iran.”
I hope Israel will kill more

FTA “Melat Kiros defeated the incumbent Democrat in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District primary on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press, capping a stunning collapse for a lawmaker who first took office the same year Kiros was born. With the vast majority of the vote counted, Kiros led DeGette by roughly five points, with CU Regent Wanda James trailing well behind in third. The result was not close enough to blame on turnout quirks. It was a repudiation.
Kiros, a Democratic Socialists of America member and former corporate attorney, had already drawn scrutiny for describing Hamas’s October 7 massacre as “an inevitable consequence of apartheid, of occupation, decades of occupation.” That framing is common enough on the activist left that it barely raises eyebrows in certain circles anymore.What should have ended her campaign came next. Denver’s 9News anchor Kyle Clark asked Kiros directly whether she believed the September 11 attacks were likewise “the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy.” She did not hedge.“Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East, which led people to believe that another act of violence was the only response,” Kiros said. “Our responsibility is to get rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place.”

Yup. But when will the next Bill Gates come along to avow that Epstein was doing to him what everybody claims Epstein never did? Epstein was blackmailing Gates about Sex. Gates assures us it was sex with adults.
It is like WMD in Iraq. After finding Saddam was 6 months from an atom bomb. and then years later finding he was running a secret BW lab to make WMD. Nobody was willing to believe that he would put those desires aside temporarily just to enrich himself by perverting Oil for Food into Money for Saddam.
But he had. Yet despite fear of Saddam’s WMD, We never cleaned out Saddam’s Chemical WMD until after Saddam was gone. You know the WMD he actually used to murder Iranians and Kurds.
And they were everywhere! Who knows if W’s secret clean out the WMD pappy left behind program succeeded? So many IEDs included CW shells from Saddam’s old stock.
So like Saddam’s WMD, the truth about Epstein will never be accepted. Just the competing lies.

He is one of my all time favorites for many years. I only wish he was younger and could help out President. Trump more. These quotes are so pertinent for today’s issues too.
“Happy 96th Birthday Professor Thomas Sowell! In his honor, here are twenty of his most famous quotes:
1. “Nearly a hundred years of the supposed ‘legacy of slavery’ found most black children being raised in two-parent families in 1960. But thirty years after the liberal welfare state found the great majority of black children being raised by a single parent. The murder rate among blacks in 1960 was one-half of what it became 20 years later, after a legacy of liberals’ law enforcement policies.” (A Legacy of Liberalism)
2. “Public housing projects in the first half of the 20th century were clean, safe places, where people slept outside on hot summer nights, when they were too poor to afford air conditioning. That was before admissions standards for public housing projects were lowered or abandoned, in the euphoria of liberal non-judgmental notions. And it was before the toxic message of victimhood was spread by liberals. We all know what hell holes public housing has become in our times.” (A Legacy of Liberalism)
3. “The blacks in the West Indies had all sorts of experiences growing their food, selling the surplus in the market, and being responsible for budgeting what they had. Black slaves in the United States were deliberately kept from having that. Dependence was seen as the key to holding the slaves down. Ironically, that same principle comes up in the welfare state 100 years later.”
4. “If we wanted to be serious about evidence, we might compare where blacks stood a hundred years after the end of slavery with where they stood after 30 years of the liberal welfare state. Despite the grand myth that black economic progress began or accelerated with the passage of the civil rights laws and ‘war on poverty’ programs of the 1960s, the cold fact is that the poverty rate among blacks fell from 87 percent in 1940 to 47 percent by 1960. This was before any of those programs began.” (A Legacy of Liberalism)
5. “What the welfare system and other kinds of governmental programs are doing is paying people to fail. In so far as they fail, they receive the money. In so far as they succeed, even to a moderate extent, the money is taken away.” (Free to Choose, 1980)
6. “The way the [welfare] programs are organized, poor people are only paid to do things that are counter-productive, such as breaking up their families, such as not earning above a certain level of income.”
7. “The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world. First you take people’s money away quietly, and then you give some of it back to them flamboyantly.”
8. “Not since the days of slavery have there been so many people who feel entitled to what other people have produced as there are in the modern welfare state, whether in Western Europe or on this side of the Atlantic.”
9. “The more people who are dependent on government handouts, the more votes the left can depend on for an ever-expanding welfare state. Although the big word on the left is ‘compassion,’ the big agenda on the left is dependency.”
10. “Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good. In area after area, crime, education, housing, race relations, the situation has gotten worse after the bright new theories were put into operation. The amazing thing is that this history of failure and disaster has neither discouraged the social engineers nor discredited them.” (Is Reality Optional?)
11. “The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.”
12. “Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.”
13. “As long as human beings are imperfect, there will always be arguments for extending the power of government to deal with these imperfections. The only logical stopping place is totalitarianism, unless we realize that tolerating imperfections is the price of freedom.” (Ever Wonder Why?)
14. “The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.”
15. “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
16. “Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government.”
17. “It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.” (Knowledge and Decisions)
18. “I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.”
19. “Racism is not dead, but it is on life support, kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists.’”
20. “The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his ‘basic rights.’”

Q: At the current rate, when will the SPR reach the end of safe withdrawal?
Grok:
Around mid-to-late August 2026 (or potentially sooner), depending on the exact pace and any policy changes.
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) currently holds roughly 325–332 million barrels as of late June 2026 (e.g., 325.7 million for the week ending June 26 and 331.19 million for June 19). This is already near its lowest levels since the early 1980s.
Key Context on “Safe Withdrawal”
– Operational/statutory minimum: Commonly cited as ~150 million barrels. Below this, infrastructure, cavern integrity, and national security considerations (e.g., ability to support military needs or respond to further disruptions) become major issues. Some analyses reference a certified floor around 243 million barrels for the ongoing 172-million-barrel release (authorized earlier in 2026 amid the Iran-related supply concerns), with 150 million as the harder operational limit.
– Drawdowns slow as levels drop due to reduced pressure in caverns and operational constraints (max nominal rate is 4.4 million barrels per day, but sustained rates are lower).
Current Draw Rate and Projections
Recent weekly declines have been large:
– ~5.5 million barrels in the week ending June 26.
– Earlier peaks around 8–10 million barrels/week (roughly 1.1–1.4 million barrels per day on average).
At recent paces (e.g., 5–9+ million barrels/week):
– From ~326 million barrels to the 150 million barrel operational minimum: Roughly 20–35 million barrels remaining drawdown needed in the near term, but projections account for the full path to stress levels.
– Multiple analyses from May–June 2026 projected hitting operational minimums around August 2026 at sustained current trends.
This assumes continuation of the elevated draw (part of the 172-million-barrel release/exchange program tied to global supply issues from the Iran conflict). Actual timing could shift with:
– Policy decisions (e.g., slowing releases, exchanges/repayments).
– Geopolitical changes (e.g., Strait of Hormuz flows).
– Seasonal factors or emergencies (hurricanes can affect operations).
The SPR is not intended for routine use at these rates long-term; it’s an emergency buffer. Refilling is slow (max ~0.8 million barrels/day combined).
For the absolute latest official number, check the EIA’s Weekly Petroleum Status Report (next release around July 1–2, 2026). Projections are linear approximations and can change quickly.
Q: When will Strait of Hormuz oil flows return to normal levels?
Not fully until late 2026 or early 2027, though partial recovery (e.g., 50% of pre-conflict levels) is possible by mid-to-late July 2026 if the fragile U.S.-Iran agreements hold.
Current Status (as of early July 2026)
– The Strait of Hormuz has been severely disrupted since late February 2026 due to the Iran conflict, with Iran declaring it closed at times, attacks on vessels, mines, and a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports (lifted in mid-June).
– Pre-conflict: ~20 million barrels per day of oil and products (~20% of global seaborne oil trade), with 100+ vessels daily.
– Recent traffic: Increasing but still far below normal (e.g., ~25% or lower in late June; spikes to dozens of vessels on some days, including LNG tankers and some using alternative Omani/UAE coastal routes). Hundreds of vessels remain backlogged or stranded.
Timeline for Recovery
– Short-term (July 2026): Analysts (e.g., Kpler) project traffic could reach ~50% of prewar levels (~50–60 ships/day) by mid-July, assuming no major setbacks, ceasefire durability, and mine-clearing progress. Some tankers are already transiting alternative routes.
– Medium-term (Q3–Q4 2026): EIA forecasts shipments resuming in Q3 but ramping up slowly over several months. Full pre-conflict volumes unlikely before early 2027 due to lingering risks, insurance issues, production restarts (2–6 weeks), tanker mobilization, and physical transit times.
– Challenges delaying full normalization:
– Residual mines and security risks.
– High insurance costs and shipowner caution.
– Damaged infrastructure, production outages, and geopolitical fragility (recent weekend attacks slowed flows again).
– Alternative routing and backlog clearance.
Oil prices have reacted to news of reopenings/deals (e.g., brief drops), but sustained flows are needed for broader market relief. The situation remains volatile—monitor EIA, shipping trackers (Kpler, Lloyd’s List), and official statements for updates.
Yesterday’s episode, opens with Sal holding a bottle of Jack Daniels, LOL…drinking, the demise of the merchant mariner…:
At about 6:20, Sal notes that merchant mariners are balking at going thru the straits, since about Friday.
Many MM are still ‘stuck’ there.
Facepalm.
“In an interview with the news outlet Geneva Solutions, published on Wednesday, July 1, Sato stated that the so-called “Islamabad Memorandum” focuses almost exclusively on issues such as ending the military conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear commitments, and economic reconstruction, while the rights and freedoms of Iranian citizens remain “virtually invisible.”

And in today’s episode of “As the Nation Circles the Drain” – Did Nancy get a new pair of Stilettos? Did Mitch find his way out of the hospital lobby? Did John T get new pins for his voodoo doll as the old pins wore out? Is Ted K still dead? Sorry I couldn’t help myself. I could go on but I will stop here. LOL.
