read your own link. again. that's a 60-day general license, expiring August 21, and Iran got it in exchange for keeping Hormuz open and letting the IAEA inspectors back in. Bessent has said from the start that anything coming off comes off slowly and against milestones. so in the same post where you tell me "notice nothing is being talked about the nuclear program", you link an article about Iran trading nuclear access for a temporary oil waiver. two links in a row that argue against you. at some point you have to consider that you're not reading these, you're just collecting them. Lebanon: "Israel says Lebanon is failing" is not the flex you think it is. Israel says everyone is failing, always. that's how they negotiate. meanwhile the Lebanese Armed Forces completed phase one south of the Litani, they're four months into phase two toward the Awali, Aoun is publicly committed to a state monopoly on weapons, and Qassem is reduced to going on television calling his own government's plan "a grave sin". an organization that could veto Lebanese politics five years ago is now watching the Lebanese army confiscate its rockets while its leader whines on TV. yes, Israel wants it faster. everyone wants everything faster. that's not evidence Hezbollah is winning, that's evidence Hezbollah is being taken apart on a schedule. now Grossi. you keep quoting six words and clipping the rest. what Grossi actually says, consistently, is: no proof of a systematic weaponization effort, AND Iran has enough material for roughly ten bombs, AND the IAEA has concluded that Turquzabad, Varamin, Marivan and other sites were part of an undeclared structured nuclear program, AND man-made uranium particles were found at those undeclared sites that Iran has never credibly explained, AND until Iran resolves those safeguards issues the agency cannot provide assurance the program is exclusively peaceful. that's your star witness. he's telling you they have the material for ten weapons and he can't verify what they're doing with it because they threw his inspectors out. and "60 percent isn't enough for weaponization" is the single most embarrassing thing you've typed. enrichment work is front-loaded. getting natural uranium to 60 percent is roughly ninety-nine percent of the separative work required to reach weapons grade. the 60-to-90 step is days at Fordow. that's why Grossi describes 400 kilos of it as ten bombs worth of material and not as reactor fuel. saying "it's only 60 percent, relax" is like saying the guy has climbed 99 percent of the ladder so he's obviously not going on the roof. also, the JCPOA capped enrichment at 3.67 percent and 300 kilograms. Iran had 440 kilograms at 60 percent. sixteen times the ceiling, and they started that in April 2021, while Biden was in office actively begging them to come back to the deal. so "they were following the enrichment limitation under the JCPOA" is not a spin, it's not a debatable read, it's just false. as for why we're negotiating a toll instead of the nuclear program, look at what Iran actually did the second it had a chance. it suspended the toll, the leverage you say is so decisive, for sixty days, in exchange for permission to sell oil and a promise to readmit inspectors. if the strait were the strategic asset you're describing, they'd have kept it and told us to pound sand. they didn't. they traded it. immediately. for grocery money. you don't sell your best card in the first hand unless you're broke.

our systems that had no way to check citizenship until last year. states literally could not verify. USCIS only opened up the SAVE database to states for free in 2025. let's see what happened the second they could actually look. texas ran its full 18 million voter roll and flagged 2,724 potential noncitizens. ohio's secretary of state referred 1,084 noncitizen registrations to DOJ, 167 of whom appear to have cast ballots in a federal election. arkansas found around 240. iowa confirmed 277 with 35 ballots actually counted. tennessee referred 42 to the FBI. florida's election crimes office referred 170 to law enforcement. these are just the states that bothered to look at all. so no, "it's incredibly rare" isn't a finding. it's what you get when nobody checks. you're measuring the fraud rate with a ruler that has no numbers on it and then telling me the ruler proves there's nothing there. blue states refusing to validate is unsupported? DOJ requested voter rolls from 48 states. thirty states plus DC refused and had to be sued. california, illinois, new york, new jersey, michigan, minnesota, pennsylvania, wisconsin. if there's nothing on those rolls, hand them over and humiliate me. instead they lawyer up. and the rolls themselves? judicial watch got oregon to agree to review and remove up to 800,000 ineligible registrations. LA county removed 1.2 million. NYC 918,000. colorado 372,000. kentucky 735,000. california is currently being sued over 873,092 registrations that have sat inactive through three-plus federal elections. oregon had registration rates over 100% of eligible population in 35 of 36 counties. you do not get to leave millions of dead and moved registrations sitting on the books, fight every attempt to audit them, and then lecture us about how there's no evidence.

you linked a Reuters story about Fly Baghdad. that's an Iraqi airline. treasury delisted it for changing its behavior, explicitly stated the move had nothing to do with the Iran negotiations, kept the owner sanctioned, and amended his listing to point directly at the Quds Force. also, less than a week earlier they hit a fresh network supporting Mahan Air. so your evidence that "the US has started removing sanctions" is a story about the US tightening the screws on the IRGC while cleaning one Iraqi charter carrier off a list. you read a headline, felt a feeling, and hit paste. again, this is the level of political analysis we're dealing with folks. this is your "easily debunked propaganda" detector at work. Syria: your own argument hands it to Trump. you say sanctions collapsed Assad. The Caesar Act, which is the most punishing sanctions ever put on Damascus and the very thing that sealed him off from the banking system and killed reconstruction money, was signed into law by Trump in 2019. and then he got them repealed in the 2026 NDAA once Assad was gone and there was a government worth doing business with. you just spent a paragraph explaining that the instrument that broke Assad was signed by the guy you think is a moron. "Decapitation doesn't work." Hezbollah's own government is currently disarming it. the Lebanese army completed phase one south of the Litani and is four months into phase two. Nasrallah is dead, the land bridge through Syria is gone, and Qassem is on television calling his own government's disarmament plan a grave sin because he can't stop it. yes, they can still fly a drone. a militia that can annoy the IDF is not the same organization as one that had 150,000 rockets and a veto over Lebanese politics. that's not a decapitation failure, that's a strategic collapse with a pulse. now onto the big one. "The claim Iran was pursuing nukes is a lie, no evidence exists." Iran had 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent. the IAEA, not Trump or Bibi, found them in breach of their safeguards agreement, noted that Iran is the only non-weapons state on earth producing 60 percent HEU, and said flatly it has no civilian justification. three weeks of spinning at Fordow turns that into nine weapons' worth of weapons-grade material. then they threw the inspectors out and moved the stockpile into a tunnel complex nobody's been allowed to look inside since. if your position is that a country with zero civilian use for 60 percent enrichment, hundreds of kilos of it, and no inspectors is not pursuing a weapon, then you've defined "evidence" as a signed confession. and as for the toll, you're describing a protection racket and calling it leverage. this is a regime that used to move a million and a half barrels a day and fund an empire of proxies with it. now it's under naval blockade, its exports are dead, its rial is confetti, its air defenses are rubble, and its big new revenue plan is shaking down tankers by radio for two million dollars a passage, a scheme the IMO says has no basis in international law and that every Gulf state and shipping line on earth wants ended. you think being reduced to charging tolls on a waterway you can't safely open is strength? that's what a mugger does. it's not what a nuclear power does. nobody is negotiating a toll rate with a country that is winning. try again.

let's slow things down for you since nuance clearly isn’t your strong suit. Assad fell because the house of cards Iran and Russia built for him was hollowed out by years of Trump’s maximum pressure, sanctions that strangled the regime’s finances, and the elimination of Soleimani. Biden just happened to be napping in the Oval when the walls finally crumbled. the only thing "Biden’s term" contributed to Assad’s collapse was looking so weak that every faction in the region decided it was now or never because the feckless placeholder wouldn’t lift a finger to stop them. Hezbollah got "decapitated" not because of Biden’s genius, but despite him. Israel had to ignore constant lectures from the White House about "restraint" and "proportionality" while they actually did the work, using intel and capabilities built up while Trump had their back without a single leak or public scolding. Biden’s team spent more energy trying to save Hezbollah’s PR than actually backing an ally. and Hamas "disarmed"? you mean after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, which happened on Biden’s watch because his administration spent three years funneling humanitarian aid that ended up in terror tunnels and empowering Iran? the only reason Hamas is on its knees now is because Israel was finally allowed to finish the job after the world saw the footage, and because they knew Trump was coming back and the days of diplomatic protection for butchers were over. so yes, those events hit the news during Biden’s term. congratulations. your guy was a potted plant watching the consequence of Trump’s policies unfold, and now Trump’s back to ensure the job gets finished without paying the mullahs a cent. but keep trying to claim credit. coping is all you’ve got left.

unprovable because blue states refuse to validate their voter information. this is very much enough evidence for us and the save act is going to be passed whether you like it or not. if you think rampant democrat voter fraud is not occurring, you are a complete fool.

lmao that wasn’t a deal, it was a retirement fund for the IRGC. Trump tore it up because it was a ticking time bomb with a sunset clause, giving the world’s leading state sponsor of terror a legal on-ramp to a nuke. but sure, "diplomacy". Iran’s been threatening to choke that waterway since before you were born. the only thing Obama "controlled" was the rate at which he shovelled cash into their navy’s pocket. permanent control? they can’t even keep their own proxies from getting vaporized. an "order of magnitude more intelligent"? the guy who drew a red line in Syria and then went back to golfing while Assad gassed children? this is your strategic mastermind? Trump’s got the entire Axis of Resistance crumbling without putting a single American boot on the ground. and as for that trillion dollars, the only one on track to spend that is whatever senile puppet you’re backing, trying to rebuild all the credibility Obama set on fire and Biden doused in jet fuel. Trump’s deal, when it’s real, won’t cost a dime. "the problem isn't Iran." absolutely incredible. the problem isn't the regime that hangs teenagers from cranes, machine-guns its own shopkeepers in the street, and has "Death to America" as an actual state slogan. they were gunning down their own citizens in the streets by the thousands just before the war started. but no, the problem is the American president. this is the level of political analysis we're dealing with folks. 😂 meanwhile what Trump has achieved: Assad is gone. Hezbollah is decapitated. Hamas is disarmed. The IRGC's air defenses are rubble. the rial is confetti. protests in all 31 provinces. their entire forty-year forward-defense architecture is scattered across four countries in pieces, and their so-called supreme leader is negotiating from a bunker. yeah Jo, sounds like the problem isn't Iran. sounds like Iran doesn't have any problems at all.

they're getting results in terms of winning internal primaries. DSA will lose even more ground to Republicans in general elections.

Yes we are dealing with completely insane religious fanatics whose goal is literally to trigger global end times by obtaining nuclear power. You think making a deal with these people is some sort of easy or simple task? you think we just hand presidential reign over to something_else and everything is solved tomorrow? no it's basically impossible. Do you want Trump to not update the American people as things are happening in real time? Do you not want Trump to attempt making these deals? You want to invade them with our troops instead? or do you just want him to nuke them out of existence is that your solution? obviously if we're not nuking them or invading them, attempting various peace deals is what we will be doing.

yes it will prevent the democrats from orchestrating a nation-wide voter conspiracy. you can't say it's incredibly rare because blue states refuse to validate their voter information. everybody knows it. you can't hide the truth from what everyone can see in front of our eyes. if it's not happening then why do you care at all? reducing minorities and young people? like "minorities and young people" can't pick up an ID? like huge numbers of minorities and young people didn't vote for Trump? gen z men are one of the most conservative generations in our history right now. again, you will never convince America this is suppression. it will not happen and SAVE will be passed. cope as hard as you want.

and here we have your standard completely mindless leftoid auto-response with absolutely no cultural or historical understanding of religion whatsoever. Christianity is what gave birth to western civilization itself and every single societal good that we have.

You can watch clips of Trump consistently promising to deal with Iran since over 40 years ago. He is doing exactly what he promised, the only one with the balls to do anything in the first place, and nobody cares how long it takes. Iran is done. Anybody who thinks this is going well for them at all has absolutely no understanding of what's going on. The entire geopolitical landscape is being changed and Trump is setting up American dominance for the next hundred years. Liberals can continue to cope as hard as they want. Patriots are back in control.

this is morally sick and depraved. Erika has been dragged through some of the most disgusting slander imaginable. I was bawling my eyes out the second his death was announced. if you knew literally anything about Charlie you would know he would've absolutely loved the pyrotechnics and everything about that event. Charlie was dearly loved and his memorial was extremely important to us. thinking you know better than the love of his life and now widow is such peak derangement I don't even know what to say.

yes we will be repealing the 19th and restoring sanity to our nation. universal suffrage was a mistake. it was spearheaded by radical activists, opposed by huge numbers of women originally, and still opposed by many conservative women today. because they have not been infected by the mind virus of feminism and realize once we restore voting rights to households all our problems will be pretty much instantly solved overnight.

love Brian! one of my favorite christian content creators.

lmao "rigging the midterms" 😂 you will never convince the majority of Americans that something as simple as voter ID, supported by like 85%+ of the population, is "suppression". you just won't be able to do it. the save act is going to be passed and it is going to have devastating effects on the democrat party because everyone knows exactly what is actually going on and we are putting a stop to it.

you think MAGA is collapsing because of... MTG, Fuentes, and Tucker? bruh you are so disconnected. Trump's primary endorsement record is literally 99%, we own the entire republican party now. we are not going to be slowing down at all and will be moving full steam ahead with eight years of rubio and vance, which the left has no answer for. of course there are conservatives that aren't pro-Trump, because the right actually has diversity of thought. it's the left that is a mindless echo chamber where you are immediately excised for not bending the knee to their entire ideological platform. and the democrat party is currently self-destructing and cannabilizing itself due to this.

how was Nick not dying laughing when Hunter looked at him in the eyes “you called my wife cookies” 😂

lol of course she will, because Kamala and AOC are all you have, both of whom stand absolutely no chance in a general. there are no democratic candidates with anywhere near enough momentum to stop eight years of rubio and vance. things aren't going to be slowing down at all. heck once we pass the save act it might be decades before the party recovers.

lmao the DSA is going to be the downfall of the entire party the left is so utterly clueless.

You liberals are so incredibly deranged. Algae protests? You can't even make this stuff up anymore. 🤦‍♂️

Anyone have goodreads accounts they'd like to share? I'm starting a habit of reading a book a week and just thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone else has been reading and what your favorites have been. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4498810-chris-bolton

wtf is this? lol were you hurt by the church as a child Leo.

Really just sad to see this from Leo.

Coffeezilla also chimed in on this one:

Very excited for this release.
