 Brit Hume: "Iran Has Lost A Lot, But This Is Not Unconditional Surrender"

 

 

Trump is a POS, he's describing what Putin does routinely to Ukraine and for which he never lifts a finger to complain to or sanction Russia

 Israel meanwhile sends evacuation warnings ahead of strikes.

 Trump: Israeli Attacks In Lebanon Are "Vicious," "Too Much" -- "Knock Down Entire Apartment House Looking For Someone"

It's a giant con: They signed a nothingburger with Iran, that's why they're not showing it to us

 

 

It is another desperate ploy to jawbone oil prices down in a world hurtling toward tank bottom.

 

Meanwhile, why did Vance have to sign?

 

Is Trump on his last legs?

 

And we're still dealing with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf? I thought Trump said all this took extra time because they were trying to find a more moderate faction?

 

It's all BS, MS, Piledhigh and Deep. 

 

 

June 11:  Oil executives warn White House that gas prices will get worse 

 

... “Both camps know exactly what is at stake,” said one industry official who frequently interacts with the administration. “The industry folks are intent on making sure that if the worm turns, the White House does not point fingers that the industry did not do enough.”

“Everyone everywhere fully appreciates that the standoff cannot go on for another 30-45 days without the political calculations changing,” the official said.

“The White House knows and understands the severity of the potential situation. … They are politically constricted from saying that publicly.” ...

 

June 15: Trump, Vance, Iranian official sign US-Iran peace memo

... Both President Trump and Vice President Vance electronically signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran on Sunday, while Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, speaker of the Iranian Parliament, signed for the Iranian side, senior U.S. officials said Monday. ...

 

 Vance: Iran Deal A "Very General Document," We'll Figure Out The Details In The "Technical Negotiation Phase"

Vice President Vance acknowledged that the preliminary U.S.-Iran memorandum is only "about a page and a half" and described it as a "very general document. ... what the MOU does is set up a framework ..."                                   

 

Trump is a terrible judge of character. Ghalibaf is an IRGC fundamentalist.

Trump Saw a Decaying America and Chose To Fight It

James Thorne, RealClearPolitics

Instead of sovereignty we get imperial intimidation and alienation of our friends, servile acquiescence to the despotism of our foes, and two wars fought to a stalemate in the Middle East in just fourteen months. 

 

Instead of production we get sub-post war GDP, sub-50% level full time employment, and a sub-2.1% replacement fertility rate of 1.57%.

 

Instead of fiscal discipline we get $2.3 trillion new total public debt in just the first year.

 

And instead of strategic clarity we get Ukraine blamed for its own invasion. 

Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics spews nonsense about Michigan's U.S. Senate contest

 

A 2010-Style Disaster Brewing for Dems in Michigan

Tom Bevan, RealClearPolitics

 

He thinks the Democrat candidates for U.S. Senate in Michigan are analogous to "the questionable, untested" losing candidates Sharron Angle in Nevada and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware whom the GOP ran in 2010.

 

OK Tom. Have another drink. 

 

Haley Stevens is hardly questionable or untested.

 

She is a centrist, pro-Israel Democrat committed to the U.S. auto industry who has been elected four times to represent MI-11 in Oakland County.

 

Yes, the two progressives running against her look questionable and untested, even crazy.

 

But Stevens is a serious, normal candidate with a great record whom Democrats can run to beat Mike Rogers.

 

I think that's why Bevan doesn't really want to talk about her, and slaps her instead with the broad brush he's using to diss the progressives, as if she were guilty by association.

 

Not good form, old boy. 

A Blue Wave is building in the 2026 Generic Congressional Vote with Democrats now +7.2 points

Trump only wishes he could be leader for life like dictator Xi

In 2023 Trump claimed 15 million illegals were in America, then in 2024 he upped it to 16 and 18 million, and then finished the year at 21 million, and now it's 25 million

 For a decade from 2009-2019 illegal aliens in the United States were widely estimated at 11 million.

In April 2026 the foreign born civilian noninstitutional population over the age of 16 is 49.66 million, 6.14 million more than in April 2019 and down 780k from the March 2025 high.

Many millions of illegals will remain after Trump is gone, because he is neither serious nor competent.

Trump spends YUGE in Indiana to defeat incumbent anti-redistricting Republicans in their primary election, and wins big

 

Trump Gets Revenge in Indiana

Eric Bradner, CNN

 

... In interviews across the state, Hoosier voters described being inundated with television and digital advertising and daily mailers from candidates and the outside groups supporting them. The numbers back that up.

The political advertising tracking firm AdImpact said that $13.4 million was spent on advertising in this year’s Indiana state Senate primaries. For comparison: In the 2024 election cycle, about $280,000 was spent on state Senate primary ads in Indiana — in all races combined.

The bulk of that spending came from a group linked to US Sen. Jim Banks, a close Trump ally. Club for Growth led the direct mail effort for the pro-Trump forces, Indiana Republicans said, and Turning Point USA supplied ground troops for door-to-door get-out-the-vote efforts as the group sought to carry out one of the last political stances taken by its late co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was killed weeks after urging Indiana Republican lawmakers to redistrict.

The incumbents and their supporters bemoaned outside forces’ role in the Indiana primary. Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said the primary contests were “really driven from outside the state of Indiana, mostly in Washington, DC, and the money’s coming from outside Indiana as well.”

But the flood of advertising spending — more than 47 times more than was spent on state Senate primaries just two years earlier — proved too much for most incumbents to overcome. ...
