I don't think the geniuses in charge have figured that whole dynamic out yet.
Iran warns US after strikes: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it has a “legitimate” right to respond to any “violation” of the ceasefire after the US military carried out what it called “self-defense strikes” targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz. It is unclear how the attacks will affect the ceasefire.
I know the most horrifying thing about members of congress trading stocks constantly is the insider trading aspect, but I suspect a bunch of them are serious gambling addicts too. And even gamblers with good tips on the horses sometimes lose it all.
After amassing an exemplary attendance record, the congressman has missed 88 House roll call votes since March 5.
During that time, NOTUS discovered that Kean had kept trading stocks; he submitted financial transaction reports to Congress, digitally signed on April 13, that indicated he bought and sold shares of eight stocks from mid- to late March with a combined value of between $50,008 and $190,000.
I don't know if that applies to Kean, but...
I'm sure most of the psychos around Trump are always pushing for more violence.
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said a potential deal to end the US-Israel war on Iran could “take a few days” to be agreed, after US forces claimed to have struck Iranian missile sites and boats laying mines in southern Iran amid talks in Qatar.
This is never going to end.
Some good news. They are confident that they have averted the big explosion outcome in Garden Grove.
The full Jennings tweet quoted:Insider reporting from an unnamed White House official says the Iran deal is “95% done.”

The remaining 5% of negotiations are focused on Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz and turning over all nuclear material. https://t.co/GNlih9fUDj
After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following:-USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation.-Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done.-Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front.-Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing.-Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon.-Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz.Deal should have 2 phases:Step 1 - Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium.Step 2 - Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief.Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days.“If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says.SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort.Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz.If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing.“Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.”
I honestly can't tell if Luntz is making a joke here or not.
As I said before, Trump doesn't just lie, he believes he can manifest reality through his proclamations. I don't think most journalists get this.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says some progress has been made in talks with the United States with Pakistan’s mediation on “a large portion of the discussion topics”, but it does not mean that “the signing of an agreement is imminent”.
Iran's probably gonna hold out for getting Greenland.
(Just kidding, Greenlanders, you are not ours to give)
Just like infrastructure week.
But Iranian officials have tempered expectations for a quick breakthrough. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said differences in the mediated talks between Tehran and Washington remain “deep and significant”, signalling that major obstacles still stand in the way of a formal agreement.
Something to understand about Trump is that he isn’t just a liar, though of course he is that. He truly believes in the power of willing the things he wants into being. Announcing things isn’t just lying. It is manifesting.
Emergency crews in Orange County are facing a highly complex race against time as they try to secure a bulging, pressurized tank loaded with 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate. Resolving the crisis has proven incredibly difficult due to a phenomenon known as a “thermal runaway” reaction, where the chemical generates its own uncontrollable heat, threatening either a massive toxic leak or a catastrophic explosion.
Evacuations around the failing tank in Garden Grove expanded to include tens of thousands of residents in six Orange County cities: Garden Grove, Cypress, Stanton, Anaheim, Buena Park and Westminster.
Several years ago there was a near catastrophe in Philadelphia which could've killed everyone in the vicinity of Center City, including me.
