This post is a long must-read for those that claim the USA under Trump is flailing in the Iran conflict. Learn something.
To everyone raging at Trump’s moves on Iran, calling them random, weak, or proof he “has no plan”: I get the anger. The ceasefire, the MoU, the pauses, they look confusing, even contradictory, especially if you want the regime gone yesterday. But here’s the truth most people miss: This isn’t a simple game. It’s multi-dimensional chess on a board most observers only see one corner of. The Islamic Republic isn’t a normal adversary. It’s a suicidal hostage-taker with proxies, lifelines from Russia/China/Europe/Gulf states, deep domestic infiltration, and 90 million Iranian lives as its ultimate shield. One reckless move can turn victory into regional chaos and mass slaughter. Trump isn’t playing checkers or delivering instant checkmate. He’s systematically neutralizing pieces, sanctions, diplomacy, military pressure, narrative warfare, and internal fractures, while managing American politics, oil markets, and the risk of total collapse that could hurt the very people he wants to free. I broke it down into the five key dimensions. Yes, it's a 5D chess. If you’re tired of the noise and want to actually understand the strategy instead of reacting to every headline, read this. Trump isn’t stumbling. He’s playing the long game against an enemy that spent 47 years rigging the board. What looks like weakness is often calculated patience.Full article below.

The don't vote, stay home campaign seems like a well-funded op, probably foreign. I wonder whose. Seems like every network if you make a post saying to vote you'll get swarmed with posts saying not to.

WHY ARE WE PAYING MORE FOR GAS NOW THAN WHEN OIL WAS THE SAME UNDER BIDEN? It's complicated. Luckily you have me to explain it to you! How are we paying more at the pump today than we did under Biden, when a barrel of oil costs about the same? Because the oil is only part of what you're buying. And the other part quietly blew up. Here's the whole thing in plain English. A barrel of oil makes 42 gallons. Right now oil runs about $93 a barrel, so the actual crude in your gallon is only around $2.20. The rest of what you pay, another two bucks and change, is everything else. Refining it. Trucking it. Taxes. And the station's cut. Back in 2022, Biden's expensive-oil year, a barrel cost about the same, right around $95. But gas averaged $3.95 a gallon. Today, at the same oil price, we're paying $4.49. That's about 54 cents more for the exact same barrel. So where did that extra 54 cents go? Almost none of it is the oil. About 26 cents is plain old inflation. Everything it takes to make and move gas costs more now, the workers, the trucks, the power to run a refinery. Four years of rising prices baked into every gallon. About 15 cents is refineries, or the lack of them. We've shut a bunch down and built almost none, so the ones still standing charge more to turn crude into gas. Less competition, bigger markup. A few cents is state gas taxes creeping up. And maybe a dime is fatter margins, the part where you can argue somebody along the way is padding the bill. Now the honest part, because I'm not going to lie to you. Today's oil is pricey on its own too, close to $100, partly the war premium from the Iran fight. So today's sticker is expensive crude plus four years of inflation stacked on top. But here's what should tick you off. Even when oil calms back down, that 54 cents isn't coming out of your tank. Inflation doesn't reverse, and the refineries aren't coming back. That part is permanent. That's the hidden tax nobody voted for, and it's riding in your gas tank every single day!

You were branched as a Finance officer and later became a public affairs officer. In the Reserves. Your highest award is a DMSM. Look, as a career logistics officer myself I always preach one team, one fight, but not when someone like you--who is supported by the cretinous, Soros-funded, "VoteVets"--crawls out of the Deep State slime to smear actual combat veterans like Hegseth. Pete Hegseth's pinky finger knows more about leading troops in wartime than your DSA sell-out brain will ever comprehend, and the closest your pinky ever got to heroism is a paper cut. So how about you put a sock in it, you DEI-installed, Commie faux-general? Beat it.
I say this as a retired Brigadier General with 30 years of service: Pete Hegseth is an unqualified frat boy.

Really? What else is CNN going to say? Russian collusion won Trump the Presidency? The Hunter laptop is fake/Russian disinformation? The covid shots are 100% effective? CNN is a joke outlet with low viewership from low information people.

Brett Baier interviewing the Iranian President was predictable. They claim complete innocence & say the US is victimizing them. What a complete waste of time & Baier shouldn't have given him a platform to spread his lies🤨

"Homebuilders say they can't find workers amid the ICE crackdowns." Logically unpack that sentence: "Can't find workers" does not mean zero people exist who can swing a hammer. It means they cannot fill crews at the wages, hours, conditions, and hiring practices they were using yesterday. "Amid the ICE crackdowns" identifies which workers disappeared from the pool: the ones ICE is targeting. That is an admission that a meaningful share of their prior labor supply was unauthorized. The unspoken third clause is therefore: the legal/American labor market is not filling those slots at the old price. If it were, the complaint would be different ("we raised pay 30% and still came up short") instead of "enforcement happened and now we have no crews." The statement is not evidence that Americans refuse construction work. It is evidence that the industry’s previous equilibrium relied on a lower-cost, higher-risk labor source that enforcement has now disrupted.

When you remember that: Twitter permanently banned PRESIDENT TRUMP on January 8, 2021. Facebook and Instagram: suspended PRESIDENT TRUMP for two years on January 7, 2021. YouTube suspended PRESIDENT TRUMP on January 12, 2021. Snapchat permanently banned PRESIDENT TRUMP in January 2021 - and he remains banned. Twitch banned PRESIDENT TRUMP on January 2021. Reddit banned the r/DonaldTrump subreddit. And Shopify closed all Trump-affiliated stores... ..it becomes a lot harder to cry about deceptive media outlets having their White House credentials revoked... ...and clearer why it needed to be done, right?

Donald Trump cheated in 2016. Donald Trump tried to cheat in 2020 and got caught. Donald Trump cheated again in 2024. We MUST pass nationwide voter ID laws to stop Donald Trump from cheating again in 2028 and save our democracy. Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT now!! 🇺🇦💉😷✊🏿

My entire feed is full of “I voted for Trump 3 times, but I’m not voting this time” and many simply “I’m not voting” posts. This all seems very… coordinated. …And dumb. Most of all, dumb.
