🇺🇸 The decision to strike HAS BEEN MADE, and American warships are stacked with bunker busters ready to run to the deck the minute the mission drops.
Brandon Weichert says the only question now is whether someone around Trump can pull a rabbit and cancel it.
"We can only hope that the either the negotiators or people around Trump are able to pull a rabbit and convince him to cancel the strikes."
If no one does, the ships are already loaded and waiting.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Iran is DENYING strikes near Tabriz, but the timing against their own radar installation tells a different story.
Brandon Weichert breaks down why Tehran staying quiet may actually be the smart play.
"There is no strategic benefit for the Iranians to strike before the Israeli elections because they want to get rid of Netanyahu."
If Netanyahu keeps warning about an Iranian attack and they take the bait, he wins.

This is far more likely than a bomb falling on the U.S. although neither can be ruled out.
IS THE INTERNET GOING TO BE LOCKED DOWN?
Some very strange pieces are starting to line up.
PM Modi warned that future wars could cripple countries without bombs ever falling, simply by taking down banks and financial systems.
In Japan, the head of GMO Internet Group raised the possibility of an internet collapse after claims of fraudulent activity hit more than 70 brokerage and FX platforms.
At the same time, G7 governments and central banks are running simulations for major AI-driven attacks on the financial system, and several of America’s biggest banks reportedly caught unauthorized AI agents trying to access customer accounts and act on their own.
Then there’s Scott Bessent talking about a “grand economic reordering,” with stablecoins and AI part of the conversation around America’s $40 trillion debt.
Maybe these are separate warnings. Maybe they aren’t.
But if a major cyberattack ever freezes banks, trading platforms and transfers at the same time, people are going to accept almost any replacement system that gets their money moving again.

“This doesn’t look like the America you promised,” Omar recalled telling her father, Nur Omar Mohamed.
“We’re not in our America yet,” he replied to his 12-year-old daughter. In Omar’s immigrant story, America wasn’t a “city on a hill,” a haven for grateful masses fleeing war and oppression. Rather, it was a broken promise. “I arrived at the age of 12 and learned that I was the extreme other,” she often said. “I was black. I was Muslim. I also learned I was extremely poor and that the classless America that my father talked about didn’t exist.”

This is ridiculous- @billmaher is one of the few reasonable voices on the left and in the media at large. Why alienate one of the few people you’ve got from the opposite side?

I felt this on a deeply maternal level. Those of us who have eyes to see will celebrate them. I’ve met them both. They are both exceptionally engaging speakers & just overall great well rounded guys. Thank you, President TRUMP! We appreciate you. Mike Rogers is exceptional, too.

JUST IN: Nicki Minaj has reportedly been floated as the next White House press secretary by senior Trump staffers. — TMZ
With all due respect to everyone with an opinion (I am not a partisan fyi) I cannot know for sure of course, but I do not believe this is from drinking. I speculate she has something going on with her speech, on top of the fact her voice is likely tired from the campaign. It sounds similar to something like spasmodic dysphonia. If she has something going on, I wouldn't want it held against her. I am sure all reasonable Republicans and Democrats would agree with that.
Another day that ends in Y, Amy Acton is drunk again! You guys would rather elect her in Ohio than Vivek Ramaswamy because you are snowflakes! @VivekGRamaswamy @amyactonoh

Why is it that no one says India is not diverse enough? or China? Or Singapore? Or Mali? Or Mexico etc?
But Ireland, America, France, Italy, Canada & so on, all these majority white countries have to be diverse or there is something fundamentally wrong with them?
So diversity is only needed if a society if majority white?
