Iran Is Threatening to Conduct Terror Attacks That Will “Cause National Mourning in America”



America First Report

This is nothing new. It was the entire basis for the Soviet Union foreign policy during the Cold War. Iran is just picking up the old playbook of the communists back then. The idea was to threaten nuclear blackmail. All the more reason why Iran must not get the bomb.

Another type of mass-casualty event, such as a 911 attack, or something that would kill massive number of Americans, should deserve a commensurate attack. Such threats were made during the Cold War, with the nuclear arms race.

The idea here may be to threaten an event like this that will have Iran denying responsibility, or any clear guilt in bringing about such a catastrophe.

It should be clear that any such attack will receive a commensurate response. That was enough to deter the Soviet Union. Will it be enough to deter Iran? Evidently, the Iranians still believe that they can issue such threats and have those threats succeed.

As with all things, we shall see.

The other half of the story





If the commies are shoosting, why not shoot back????

The usual thing may resume soon

No mention was made, but I was dealing with jury stuff this past few days. Now that that is over, the regular scheduling can resume.

While I'm here, a brief mention of the launchus interruptus yesterday. I'm so broken-hearted. What can I say?

Looks like they'll need to roll the booster back to MegaBay, and swap some engines. Maybe another static fire, re-stack, and launch again next week.

Trump had a speech last nite, but I didn't watch it. Maybe something will be done, but I'm not holding my breath.

Beware the open windows

 

Methinks the Russkies are copying the Arkansas mode of dealing with problematic folks. Did the general got Vince Fostered?

What's going on in the Strait of Hormuz?



Depends upon who you listen to.

Here's what the Max Afterburner YouTube channel has to say about it:



Gas at the pump is definitely lower.

Iran US MOU

8 AM:

There's a lot of loose talk about what's in the agreement.

Too much talking, and not enough specifics. Nobody really knows what's going on until the official document is released. It hasn't been, and as for the rest of the talk, it may as well be bravo sierra. This includes Trump. But Trump decides what he's going to do next, or so he says.

It is clear that somebody is lying. If Trump is guilty of this, it's going to be very damaging to him, and I'd be very, very surprised if he thought he could get away with it, if such were the case. But it is all speculation until the actual agreement is produced. Let Trump's critics and the Iranian flap their gums all they want. They won't get to crow unless Iran is definitely coming out of this better off than before, and it is in writing, as they claim. So far, it is nothing but talk.

Not convinced that it's Trump lying. Heck, it may be both. Yet there is virtually no reason whatever for Trump to lie about the terms of the MOU. If he agreed to anything that rewards Iranian aggression, it would be very disappointing and disturbing.


Update 8 PM: :

The MOU has been signed. The agreement has still not be published. Senators say that they want to look over the deal. There's a lot of room for mischief here.

It looks political. Trump buys time for the midterms. Prices will be lower at the pump. Indeed, 2027 is projected to have gluts. Near term however, supplies will be tight.

If Iran reneges on the deal, Trump has cause to punish them. Of course there will be protests from the usual suspects.

Democrats are dying to do another Vietnam and Afghanistan. They would love to blame Trump for their own treachery. You can add the part of the GOP that opposes Trump to that company.

Anyway, the deal is shaky. It may not hold up.

Did Trump lie? If he did, it is not clear yet that he did. Even if he did, he is no worse than the Democrats. But if he really did, then it will hurt. You can be sure that the commies will do everthing they can to inflict the most damage that they can.

President Trump Announces Iran Deal is Complete - Strait of Hormuz Open for Transit

The Conservative Treehouse




The amount of anti-American spin out there is off the charts.

CTH is Trump friendly, which actually means is that you get some resemblance to the truth at that blog. But not necessarily in the comment section.

I'm going to post more about this in the next few days.

I have followed Epic Fury, the ceasefire, and the rest fairly regularly. Trump has had to dodge a lot of crap as usual, and may have delivered a HUGE victory. But it will be spun otherwise. Unless there's something in the details that is particularly bad, it is a big win. The Devil is in the Details.

Bongino show, 6/8/26

Trump's not exactly being subtle here. (that's an understatement meant as a joke)





Update:

Lots of inside baseball here. Found out the bit on the Welker interview that was so contentious. Read the comments on Free Republic here, specifically regarding the breakdown of some issues regarding Weaponization of Government at Powerline. Typical for the RINOS: undercutting any real opposition to Democrats' corruption and shennanigans.

Buh, bye! John Cornyn



For some reason, maybe it was the long trip this past week, made me think of this song...

Bongino Show --- Patel sets the record straight at FBI



Democrats try to bring down Patel because he is being successful... not because of the fake news that they confront him with. Bongino shows where Patel brings the receipts of ACTUAL PROGRESS against crime.

What victory in Iran looks like...

No need to be confused.

If there's any confusion, it exists only because some folks want to muddy the waters and have the matter in a confused state.

If Trump didn't take down Iran, they'd have nukes. They'd have the means to deliver them to where they want them to land. That means US bases in the region.

Iran had to have spent tens of billions of dollars to build up a miltary that can control the region. That capability is GONE. There is no need to be confused about that. Iran's military capability has been thoroughly DEGRADED, and won't be back for the foreseeable future. It may not come back in any event, because they are in danger of losing their income source. The blockade may permanently see to that if the oil wells cannot be brought back to production levels that Iran has had before.

There won't be any nukes, nor the means to deliver them. Thanks to the blockade, they'll NEVER have them.

The only thing that they MIGHT keep is power. But power over WHAT? Given their inability to show capacity for control of the region, they just might lose that too. Then the victory will be TOTAL.

Democrats not sending their best?

The Dems lambasted former Veep Dan Quayle with the way he spelled "tomato". Or was it "tomatoe"? Anyway, Quayle wasn't trying to argue before the Supreme Court. It says here that the petition didn't get the spelling of the state right. How DO you spell Virginia? Maybe I need to go back to school meself.

Kudlow discusses economic news

"Lefties will be disappointed." Doomers and gloomers will have nothing to talk about. Maybe they'll invent something, eh?

The Obama "Retcon"



Dan Bongino debunks Obama's claim of innocence about the weaponization of the DOJ. The mindless clapping seals lap it all up.

Obama and the left play dumb on assassination attempts

 

This post is about the attempted assassination, and the usual thing with the commies of pretending not to know anything about anything. Listening to them, you'd be tempted to reach the conclusion that they are perfect little angels incapable of harming a fly. But we all know better, do we not?

Of course the commies know because the commies instigated the assassination attempts. They applaud this kind of thing, and encourage it as much as possible. But when it happens, Zero says he don't know shit.

Is the US Naval blockade working?

The short answer is yes.



What the war is about

There is no time to watch all of this. Half of it will be enough to make a judgment.

It is worth a look.

Two videos definitely worth watching

Steyer, candidate for governor of Collyfornia, was asked what grade would he give Gavin Newsome as gov of Collyfornia.  He wouldn't give a grade.
--> 54 min mark <---

I'll give Bongino an A plus.  Worth watching.



Tim Pool has a very, very interesting video on Rumble about SPLC, Merrick Garland, and the recent indictment of SPLC.    Big deal in the news today, also discussed on Bongino's show.  These two tie together...

Making Collyfornia safe for fraud, aka 'Stop Nick Shirley Act'

Maybe people in this country will finally wake the f!!! up, and throw these scumbags out. But I won't bet the farm on it. Hope springs eternal, though. There's always hope that people will finally see what they need to see. Trouble is, there's a lot of folks out there who want to make sure that you never wake up. Hence this bill from the land of fruits and nuts.



Time stamped the Nick Shirley Act commentary @ 8:30



This video propounds a theory about women that I didn't address, but this video by AOC reminded me of it. Could this video by AOC be an example of what he was talking about?



Time stamped the women commentary @ 14:30 "chick thing" and "EI". In other words, this kind of stuff comes from women. That kind of thing usually brought some more bad stuff down on your head, like "misogyny" accusations. Just putting it out there, not necessarily commenting upon myself. Not yet, anyway.
