The end of the mullahs’ civilization has been called off, at least for now and probably forever. President Trump is characterizing it positively: President Trump agreed to a two-week pause on military strikes on Iran in a dramatic pivot less than 90 minutes from his 8 p.m. deadline — saying it was subject to Tehran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said he spoke with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, who urged him to hold off on what he described as a “destructive force” set to be unleashed on Iran.

Democrats and their media allies have worked overtime to paint President Donald Trump as reckless, unstable, and dangerously unfit to lead. The latest excuse for their hysteria came after Trump put pressure on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed since February, cutting off roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. They’ve been daring the United States to respond ever since, and Trump did respond. And that’s when the left completely lost it. On Tuesday morning, Trump issued a blunt warning on Truth Social. He demanded that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He set a deadline and made it clear he wasn’t bluffing. He warned

The Elitist Media are predictable because their Trump derangement pushes them into predictable patterns of conduct which then manifests on the air and in real time. This predictability extends to media reactions to the announcement of a two-week ceasefire in Iran, as demonstrated by CNN’s Erin Burnett.

Welp. Guess the threat of Armageddon and Trump not backing down in the face of the world going nuts on him sent some shivers down the Iranian regime's legs. Spazz cases. But they're not the ones in the crosshairs who have to do the risk calculations. I had an inkling something had shivered mullah timbers when I saw this just a few hours ago. Like, 'Hey!' MAYBE THIS FLIPPIN' GUY'S FOR #REALZ!!! And they BLINKED The announcement has just come straight from the president. "I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks." "This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so

Will Donald Trump follow through on his ultimatum to target and destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz did not fully reopen? We are still about 90 minutes away from H-Hour on that demand. However, we have already seen this threat expose the hypocrisy, ignorance, and propagandizing of the American media – and not just from legacy media outlets, either. Initially, I began addressing this in my Final Word post, but it got so extensive that it clearly requires a more definitive rebuttal. The “war crime” narrative in relation to Trump’s threats to target Iranian energy infrastructure didn’t start with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres,

Just a quick post to update on whether the 8pm Eastern deadline issued by President Donald Trump for Iran to cave is real or not. Spoiler alert: It's real. After a Truth Social and X cross-post by the President that promised a civilization-ending demise coming to the Iranian military junta running the country, a couple of things happened. The anti-Trump fever swamp leapt to war crime accusations, fears of nuclear weapons being used, and calls for emergency impeachment and/or 25th Amendment measures against Trump being deployed to fill the timelines of the online world and cable news outlets leading up to the deadline.

MADISON, Wis. — The board that runs the Universities of Wisconsin voted unanimously Tuesday to fire the system’s president, drawing the ire of Republican lawmakers who called it a “partisan hatchet job.” Jay Rothman had refused an offer from the board of regents to quietly resign, saying it never gave a clear reason why he should.//snip//Rothman brokered a deal with Republicans in 2023 that called for freezing diversity hires and creating a position at UW-Madison focused on conservative thought in exchange for the Legislature releasing money for UW employee raises and tens of millions of dollars for construction projects across the system.
