Yes we will...
All the Patriots are Giddy and breaking out the Popcorn...

Speaking of Sting Operations, the STORM, Multiple Lines of Effort Simultaneously and MORE WINS - I can't even keep up - imagine how OFF BALANCE the DS Leftists must feel...
This is Why SYNCHRONIZED TIMING at the RIGHT TIME and Place is so Critical!!!

Federal Judges Including Richard Leon, Tanya Chutkan & Ketanji Brown Jackson Accused of Plotting Against Trump in Secret Group Chat.
A reported sting operation has allegedly uncovered an encrypted Telegram group chat involving dozens of federal judges — including both Democrats and some RINOs — coordinating to weaponize the judiciary against President Trump.
The chat reportedly includes daily “war plans,” memes, and personal insults directed at Trump, with DC Judge Richard Leon said to be leading the effort.
Other names allegedly involved include Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan (who presided over Trump’s criminal case) and Biden-appointed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

That is Bill Essayli, the U.S. Attorney for California, speaking directly to Glenn Beck. Not a hint. Not a rumor. Not an unnamed source. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝.
Essayli was measured — he said he doesn’t want to say too much and that certifying certain results is a prerequisite before the heaviest charges can be formally supported. But what he confirmed is decisive: the evidence exists, the investigation is active, and the decision to charge has already been made. He didn’t say they were looking into fraud. He said 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬.
California runs mail-in elections at scale. It has the most sophisticated ballot-harvesting apparatus in the nation. Its congressional delegation is 52 seats — the largest of any state. Allegations of systematic fraud have circulated through multiple election cycles, and for years the standard response from California Democrats and national media was: conspiracy theory. No evidence. Fringe claims. 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲. 𝐇𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞.
The significance of the forum matters too. This was not a closed-door briefing or a leaked memo. Essayli said this on Glenn Beck’s nationally syndicated program, on the record, naming a deadline. A U.S. Attorney does not go on a major radio show and announce imminent charges as an abstract possibility. When the man running California’s federal courtrooms says charges are coming in sixty days, he has the indictment outlines on his desk.
A single successful federal election fraud prosecution in California would fundamentally shift the political and legal landscape around ballot harvesting, late-count operations, and the entire ecosystem the California Democratic Party has built around its electoral machinery. The question has never been whether evidence exists. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤.

ICE & FBI Rescue 85 Victims From Trafficking Hell — 33 Arrested, Secret Prison Found"
In the dead of night, a massive tactical raid in El Paso and Laredo dismantled a chilling, industrial-scale human trafficking and narcotics pipeline. Federal investigators uncovered more than just a smuggling network; they exposed a "shadow logistics empire" built with the direct, high-level collusion of trusted government officials. Using secret subterranean facilities and fake non-profits, the Sinaloa cartel turned a critical stretch of the U.S. border into a managed, protected corridor for billions in illicit cargo. What was once thought to be a failure of border detection was, in reality, a deliberate act of treason. Read the full investigation here.

Twenty-two ships at a time, lights out, communications silent. 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐰 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.
He explained why he waited to say it: Iran had just figured out what was happening, which meant the operational cover was already blown. The op ran for months in silence. 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚. The moment they learned of it, Trump made it public.
Then came the larger disclosure. Before ordering the B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Trump described the room: his economic and national security team assembled, the highest stock market in history behind them, 401ks at record levels. He told them: “𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘯𝘶𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬. 𝘚𝘰, 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉-2 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦.

Very CLEVER DS Ghost Ship Scheme... But the RECEIPTS are TRACEABLE!!!

𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐒 𝟐 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐒 𝐀 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 — 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄-𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐋 𝐇𝐈𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒
An OSINT breakdown tracked one shipment through the paper trail Iran has built into a pipeline — and the arithmetic alone exposes it. Three ships, three transfers, zero accountability.
The chain: a tanker called Timber loads approximately two million barrels of crude in the Persian Gulf. On March 31st, it transfers that cargo to a ship called the Medna in international waters off Malaysia, where AIS trackers go dark and tanker names get painted over. The Medna hands it to the Star Pine on April 4th. The Star Pine heads for Lianyonggang, China — a major petrochemical port. 𝐁𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝. Three ships, three flags, three clean bills of lading. Iranian crude arrives as mystery cargo with plausible deniability engineered into every link of the chain.
The giveaway is arithmetic. Malaysia produces approximately 335,000 barrels of crude per day. Chinese customs records show imports labeled “Malaysian blend” running at 2.5 million barrels per day — more than seven times Malaysia’s total production capacity. 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐮𝐭, 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝟐.𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐲. The gap is Iranian crude laundered through a Malaysian label.
This is not a theory. The U.S. Treasury issued a formal sanctions advisory in April 2026 explicitly naming “Malaysian blend” Iranian crude as the mechanism Chinese teapot refineries in Shandong Province are using — refineries that operate with less regulatory oversight than China’s state-owned oil giants. FinCEN and OFAC both carry active advisories warning financial institutions about Iranian ghost fleet transactions. “𝘉𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘪𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮.” That claim is technically accurate and deliberately engineered to be.
Iran was running an estimated 1.5 to 2 million barrels per day through this system. At world prices, that revenue funds the IRGC, H∗zbollah’s supply chain, the Houthi weapons pipeline, and every proxy operation Tehran runs in the region. Every barrel that clears a ghost-fleet transfer is a direct subsidy to organizations the United States has sanctioned for a reason.

Let's see if this End-Around Play with the SAVE AMERICA ACT is able to get thru THUNE!!!

𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀 𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋 — 𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍
President Trump announced Wednesday he has formally inserted the SAVE America Act into his forthcoming $350 billion Pentagon reconciliation package — the national defense spending bill that bypasses the Senate filibuster and requires only 50 votes plus JD Vance. The House has passed SAVE Act three times. Each time, it d∗ed in the Senate. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲.
What the law requires is simple. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘐𝘋, Trump explained — 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵? And 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱. Mail-in ballots would be limited to illness, disability, military service, or travel. On public support he was blunt: 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 80-20. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 99-1, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯.
The four Senate Republicans who voted to block SAVE Act before: Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell. Senate Majority Leader Thune quietly shelved it after the spring recess without a floor vote — a fact Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called out publicly on live TV.

The parliamentarian ruled SAVE Act outside reconciliation rules on the domestic bill; the defense bill is a new vehicle requiring a fresh review. Trump is forcing the argument again.
The backdrop matters. California just ran a primary where mail ballots kept arriving for days after election night, leaving multiple congressional races uncalled for nearly two weeks. Trump named it: 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. He credited the 2024 landslide to overwhelming margins — enough votes they couldn’t manufacture their way around it. The SAVE Act closes the gap between that kind of victory and a normal election. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐃 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥-𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧.

More and more incriminating Evidence MOUNTING!!!

Victor Mellor For Congress is in Warwick, RI. ·​

They said election fraud doesn't exist.
Today Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong pleaded guilty in federal court.
For nearly 20 years she paid homeless people $2-$3 cash to register to vote and sign petitions on Skid Row in Los Angeles.
She encouraged them to use fake addresses.
Because California automatically mails a ballot to every registered voter, those ballots were sent to addresses where the homeless individuals never lived.
James O'Keefe caught her on hidden camera.
The DOJ prosecuted her.
She just pleaded guilty.
"False registrations undermine Americans' faith in elections, even more so when payoffs are involved."
Those aren't my words. That's the Assistant Attorney General of the United States.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
This is a federal conviction.
And Rhode Island is not immune.
Our mail-in ballots don't require photo ID. Our voter rolls were so dirty the DOJ sued our Secretary of State. Seth Magaziner blocked the SAVE Act, twice.
Pass the SAVE Act. Now.

Those are the words of Donald Trump’s Acting Attorney General — the man now legally commanding the Department of Justice, directing federal prosecutors, and overseeing every piece of evidence investigators have assembled about 2020. Todd Blanche spent four years as Trump’s personal criminal-defense attorney, watching the DOJ from the other side of the table. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐠𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥.
The investigations are live and named: Arizona, and Fulton County, Georgia — the same county Democrats called the gold standard of election security. Blanche says his team is drilling into the fundamentals: Did the right people vote? Did every voter cast only one ballot? Were ineligible voters in the mix? He acknowledges why it’s taking time: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨.” That is not the language prosecutors use to describe lawful activity.

He also made a direct public promise: “𝘐 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 — 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥.” This is not a rally chant. This is the AG on record, describing active federal investigations and committing to public disclosure. The question four years of media told you was “𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥” has an AG with subpoena power who disagrees.

Today’s sequence: Trump threatened to seize Kharg Island — the facility that processes ninety percent of Iran’s petroleum exports — if the mullahs didn’t negotiate. Iran sprinted to what officials described as the highest level of Iranian leadership for talks. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬. 𝐀 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭. Time and location to be announced soon.

The Kharg Island card is the key to understanding why this worked. Iran’s entire petroleum export infrastructure routes through Kharg. Trump’s threat wasn’t to bomb hardened nuclear facilities that take years to rebuild. It was to seize the revenue source Iran needs to fund everything else — its military, its proxies, its entire foreign policy apparatus. 𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞. 𝐈𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐦𝐞. The mullahs understood the math.
EricLDaugh’s read was blunt: “𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘒𝘕𝘖𝘞 47 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘈𝘍𝘖 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦.

He does what he says.
Kharg Island could still be on the table if Iran flakes. The deal is imminent, not signed. But the trajectory is clear: Trump threatened something Iran couldn’t afford to call a bluff, and Iran blinked first.

Bessent on where Iran stands now: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid out the three-pronged strangulation that is forcing that outcome: Gulf banks froze Iranian accounts, Iranian ports are under physical blockade, and Kharg Island — Iran’s primary crude export terminal — is shut down.
The first break came from Iran’s own aggression. When Iran attacked its Gulf Cooperation Council neighbors, those attacks 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐆𝐂𝐂 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬. Gulf states that had been quietly holding Iranian money in their banking systems suddenly became, in Bessent’s words, “𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘴” — freezing, blocking, and handing over Iranian-held funds. Iran’s own strikes produced the financial capitulation of its last protective buffer.
The second layer: the physical blockade. Iranian ports are shut down. 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬. The economic impact falls hard and immediately on a state that depends on tankers to move its only major export.
The third layer — and the most crushing: 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧. Kharg Island handles approximately 90 percent of Iran’s crude oil exports. It is not one terminal among many. It is the terminal. When an oil state is forced to shut in its own production, it is not losing revenue for a quarter. It is potentially losing years.
The sequencing: freeze reserves abroad so they can’t spend what they’ve accumulated, blockade the ports so nothing moves, shut the export terminal so nothing new flows. 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞. 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐠𝐞.

Let's see if this End-Around Play with the SAVE AMERICA ACT is able to get thru THUNE!!!

M.A. Rothman​

𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀 𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋 — 𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍
President Trump announced Wednesday he has formally inserted the SAVE America Act into his forthcoming $350 billion Pentagon reconciliation package — the national defense spending bill that bypasses the Senate filibuster and requires only 50 votes plus JD Vance. The House has passed SAVE Act three times. Each time, it d∗ed in the Senate. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲.
What the law requires is simple. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘐𝘋, Trump explained — 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵? And 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱. Mail-in ballots would be limited to illness, disability, military service, or travel. On public support he was blunt: 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 80-20. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 99-1, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯.
The four Senate Republicans who voted to block SAVE Act before: Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell. Senate Majority Leader Thune quietly shelved it after the spring recess without a floor vote — a fact Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called out publicly on live TV. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚 $𝟑𝟓𝟎 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞. The parliamentarian ruled SAVE Act outside reconciliation rules on the domestic bill; the defense bill is a new vehicle requiring a fresh review. Trump is forcing the argument again.
The backdrop matters. California just ran a primary where mail ballots kept arriving for days after election night, leaving multiple congressional races uncalled for nearly two weeks. Trump named it: 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. He credited the 2024 landslide to overwhelming margins — enough votes they couldn’t manufacture their way around it. The SAVE Act closes the gap between that kind of victory and a normal election. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐃 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥-𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧.

BREAKING: President Trump is officially putting the Senate GOP on notice regarding the SAVE AMERICA ACT!
47 just called out the corrupt California machine, stating they completely RIGGED the race against Spencer Pratt. The only reason they didn't pull the exact same stunt on Steve Hilton is that they got scared of how incredibly obvious the fraud would be!
We need election integrity NOW. In the exact words of the President: "THE SAVE AMERICA ACT HAS TO GET PASSED BY THE SENATE!"

Time for Republicans in Washington to grow a spine and get this done!

All Roads lead to OBAMA's TREASONOUS ACTIONS!!!

Terrence K Williams​

Obama exposed: He was allegedly using USAID to pretend to send money to a country for “aid” and instead laundering it to the Cayman Islands
He would then use that money to fund and train “Rent-a-Riots” for protests to overthrow governments
Mike Benz Exposes How Obama’s USAID Funneled Billions to Fund Activist Groups for Regime Change and “Rent-a-Riots.”
Benz: “This was a scandal during the Obama USAID era… USAID pumped $1.2 billion in, and we sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests… Once they hit a critical mass, they would create ‘Rent-a-Riots.’”
One notorious example was Zunzuneo — a secret Twitter-like platform built for Cubans that started with innocent content like sports, music, before pushing political messaging and unrest.

Seven. That's how many forensic analysts the Department of Homeland Security had dedicated to child trafficking cases nationwide — until now. This week, Trump signed legislation funding 200 additional investigators and investing $108.5 million in child trafficking enforcement.
The investment marks the largest federal surge against child trafficking ever, according to Sen. Josh Hawley's office, which developed the legislation with Tim Tebow.

That is Bill Essayli, the U.S. Attorney for California, speaking directly to Glenn Beck. Not a hint. Not a rumor. Not an unnamed source. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝.
Essayli was measured — he said he doesn’t want to say too much and that certifying certain results is a prerequisite before the heaviest charges can be formally supported. But what he confirmed is decisive: the evidence exists, the investigation is active, and the decision to charge has already been made. He didn’t say they were looking into fraud. He said 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬.
California runs mail-in elections at scale. It has the most sophisticated ballot-harvesting apparatus in the nation. Its congressional delegation is 52 seats — the largest of any state. Allegations of systematic fraud have circulated through multiple election cycles, and for years the standard response from California Democrats and national media was: conspiracy theory. No evidence. Fringe claims. 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲. 𝐇𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞.
The significance of the forum matters too. This was not a closed-door briefing or a leaked memo. Essayli said this on Glenn Beck’s nationally syndicated program, on the record, naming a deadline. A U.S. Attorney does not go on a major radio show and announce imminent charges as an abstract possibility. When the man running California’s federal courtrooms says charges are coming in sixty days, he has the indictment outlines on his desk.
A single successful federal election fraud prosecution in California would fundamentally shift the political and legal landscape around ballot harvesting, late-count operations, and the entire ecosystem the California Democratic Party has built around its electoral machinery. The question has never been whether evidence exists. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤.

Jillian Michaels is not a MAGA voter. She spent years in celebrity circles openly skeptical of Trump — the kind of person who would have called the “stolen election” narrative paranoid. But she appeared on a show this week and said something her audience won’t easily forget: California changed her mind.
This isn’t a hunch. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐡𝐞-𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 to what California elections actually are. Not what they look like — what they fundamentally are. Her framing: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘸, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 — 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵.”
The part that should stop every voter cold: 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥. That’s the trap. You can’t fight in court what has been written into statute. You can’t call fraud what has been legalized. Michaels gave 30 million Californians a specific gift: “𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘰𝘳, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥, 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵.”

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺.” And her verdict on Trump: 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

Just MORE WINNING MOMENTUM on this THREAD AGAINST The DEEP STATE on MULTIPLE FRONTS Like never before!!!

Woo the People​

The momentum is unstoppable as Republicans solidify their path to holding the House in the 2026 midterms.
This victory builds on hard-fought gains from redistricting and strong grassroots support, proving that our America First principles continue to resonate with everyday Americans tired of failed liberal policies.
Strategic wins in key battlegrounds have created a clear advantage, positioning us to advance border security, economic freedom, and fiscal responsibility without interference from the radical left. It's a testament to the resilience of our movement and the leadership delivering results for working families.
Now is the moment for every patriot to mobilize. Get involved, support our candidates, and turn out in force this November.
Together, we will secure the House, protect our values, and keep building the prosperous future our nation deserves.

Bessent on where Iran stands now: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent laid out the three-pronged strangulation that is forcing that outcome: Gulf banks froze Iranian accounts, Iranian ports are under physical blockade, and Kharg Island — Iran’s primary crude export terminal — is shut down.
The first break came from Iran’s own aggression. When Iran attacked its Gulf Cooperation Council neighbors, those attacks 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐆𝐂𝐂 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬. Gulf states that had been quietly holding Iranian money in their banking systems suddenly became, in Bessent’s words, “𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘴” — freezing, blocking, and handing over Iranian-held funds. Iran’s own strikes produced the financial capitulation of its last protective buffer.
The second layer: the physical blockade. Iranian ports are shut down. 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬. The economic impact falls hard and immediately on a state that depends on tankers to move its only major export.
The third layer — and the most crushing: 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧. Kharg Island handles approximately 90 percent of Iran’s crude oil exports. It is not one terminal among many. It is the terminal. When an oil state is forced to shut in its own production, it is not losing revenue for a quarter. It is potentially losing years.
The sequencing: freeze reserves abroad so they can’t spend what they’ve accumulated, blockade the ports so nothing moves, shut the export terminal so nothing new flows. 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞. 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐠𝐞.

as far as i can find in my sources, iran has yet to accept the offer.

what does that mean? maybe nothing.

but worth keeping an eye on..
