[[[ My opinions and I stand by every word. First, Jared Kushner should be ashamed of himself for stabbing his long time family friend BiBi Netanyahu, Israel, and the Jewish people in the back for meeting with Hamas leaders in Cairo to try and make a 'deal' with the very terrorist masterminds and perpetrators of October 7th. Guess trying to make deals with terrorists runs in the family. ]]]

 

[[[ And Saudi Arabia who again said they'll only sign onto the "Abraham Accords" if Israel gives up land for a Palestinian State cannot be trusted as a U.S. ally. And why don't they give up some of their unused vast land to help their own Arab brethren...better for them to let Israel deal with the Palestinian trouble makers than them...putting it politely. ]]]

Trump's Iran Strategy Could Open Pacific Security Gap, Some Experts Say

Newsmax Wires /NEWSMAX 

 

President Donald Trump's decision to maintain a major U.S. military presence in the Middle East could create a temporary security gap in the western Pacific, as the aircraft carrier USS George Washington heads from Japan to the Middle East to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Axios reported Monday that the George Washington's deployment is expected to leave the United States without an aircraft carrier in the western Pacific at a time when China and other U.S. adversaries in the region are increasing their military activity.

Temporary gaps in carrier coverage are not unprecedented, but the move highlights the competing demands placed on the U.S. military by the war with Iran and America's longstanding security commitments in the Indo-Pacific.

Mark Cancian, a retired Marine colonel and senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Axios that China could use the opening to increase its presence around U.S. allies such as Taiwan and Japan, although he said a full...Read more here. 

John Fetterman Slams His Party's Socialist Lunacy Once Again

Amy Curtis / Townhall News 

 

While the rest of the Democrat Party goes insane, driven by socialism and Trump Derangement Syndrome, there is one Democrat who remains a voice of reason and calm: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. He's repeatedly attacked his own party over Israel and the rise of the communist loving DSA. And he's back on it again, hitting the party for its positive views on socialism and negative views on capitalism.  

"With a battle for the soul of the Democratic party on the horizon, a new poll signals that socialists may have the upper hand over capitalists in 2028 primaries.

According to a new CBS News poll out Sunday, Democrats have a dramatically more favorable view of socialism than capitalism. The poll found that, among Democrats, 58 percent have a positive view of socialism, while just 18 percent have a negative view. Conversely, the poll found just 32 percent of Democrats have a positive opinion of capitalism, while 50 percent see it negatively. Read more, and see Xs here.

[[[ Interesting developments over the weekend as Trump not only confirmed his IRGC back channels, but now he has threatened to (and I quote) "bomb the s***' out of Oman if it 'gets in the way" regarding his control of Hormuz. 

So Trump is now threatening to expand this war over a body of water that technically he nor we have any legal right to control, all while Iranian "freedom fighters" continue to get executed by the day.

 

Are we looking at another Vietnam or Afghanistan...could be...or maybe it's time for both Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth and Sec. of State Marco Rubio to tell Trump to SHUT HIS DAMN MOUTH AND KEEP IT SHUT!!! ]]]

Trump confirms IRGC backchannel, threatens to 'bomb the s***' out of Oman if it 'gets in the way'

Regarding US munitions used against Iran, Trump said that what has been used so far against Iran "is peanuts."

Miriam Sela-Eitam / JERUSALEM POST 

US President Donald Trump confirmed to FOX News on Monday that there is a backchannel with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials, as the 60-day period in the Memorandum of Understanding expired.

On Sunday, Axios reported that Kurdistan Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani had been tapped as the secret backchannel, citing three sources with direct knowledge of the talks.

Notably, Barzani lived in Iran during the Iraq-Iran War in the 1980s, studied at the University of Tehran, speaks fluent Farsi, and has personal relationships with several members of the IRGC.

Trump added that Iran should raise "the white flag of surrender," and that he has "no time schedule" and is in "no hurry" to make a deal.

The Iranian's are "good poker players, but they're dying," said Trump.

Iran offering $30,000 bounty for the slaughter and capture of US soldiers, army chief says 

Ronny Reyes / NEW YORK POST 

Tehran’s military chief put out a $30,000 reward for anyone who kills or captures a US soldier — with the reward doubled for Iranian women — but it remains unclear how they can carry out the orders.

Iranian army chief Amir Hatami said there were a “large number of requests” for bounties to be put on the American soldiers despite the lack of US ground forces in Iran.

“Anyone who kills or captures and hands over an invading American military personnel will receive a reward equivalent to $30,000 or 5 billion tomans from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army,” Hatami told IRNA.

“Courageous Iranian women who carry out such an action will receive double the reward,” he added. 

The army chief even claimed that the weapon used to kill an American would be kept in a supposed museum currently under planning.
