Seems like Eric Jnr was messaging UFC insiders asking if any of the fights would be rigged so he could bet on them.

Classy.

-and ultimately left the Iranian regime in a stronger position

-exposed an open rift/created division between the Americans and the Israelis

-achieved regime change. . . . from father to son. . . .who then proceeded to close the Strait of Hormuz (which eventually forced Trump's hand). Ayatollah Khamenei was actually opposed to closing it, and killing him put that option back on the table for the Iranians

-the economic fallout both domestically in the US and elsewhere etc. etc.

As far as foreign policy blunders go this one takes some beating, you knew it was heading that way as soon as Trump started claiming they'd achieved "total victory".

Plus increased Ukraine’s importance on the World Stage as a leader in drone warfare, to the chagrin of his Kremlin buddies, and massively damaged America's reputation in the eyes of Gulf states plus anyone else paying attention.

This will also pressure the GCC to reduce reliance on Hormuz, likely investing in additional Indian Ocean ports as well as rail infrastructure to move freight. Which will massively benefit China when it comes to secure exports of goods to Middle East and potentially Europe in the long run.

The Iranians have apparently re-closed Hormuz due to Israel violating the ceasefire.

Their way of playing Trump off against Netanyahu, this'll be an interesting one

Wonder if the Americans might try the old Russian window on a high floor technique with Mad Ben, or it be found that he and Ben Givr had undiagnosed heart failure.

The big question is, did our ship ever get there to protect things? Or did they just give up with the running repairs?

They all tried to pander to the narcissistic man baby.

From an economic and Ukraine/NATO perspective I understand why but look where it’s got them.

The ( Federal ) US Postal Service says it will not deliver postal ballots in States that do not hand over their voter rolls to the USPS. This is in response to an Executive Order issued by  Trump.

The States administer elections, not any Federal agency, ( Eight States mail ballots to every registered voter ). There is no Constitutional or Legal statute that permits the USPS to do this, only Trump's tantrums over postal voting.

Court has blocked it, for now. Head of the postal service is a big Trump ally, so I'm sure they'll find another way to suppress mail in voting before November.

Four SC decisions, three defeats for Trump;

1) The President has the power to remove "independent" commisioners on regulatory bodies.

2) Trump's appeal against his civil conviction for defamation was refused.

3) Trump's attempt to remove Lisa Cook fron the Board of the Federal Reserve was blocked.

4) Mail-in ballots received after polling day but post marked on or before that day must be counted, going against Trump's wishes to discard them.

Today, it’s down to around 1.1bn Dollars, possibly 1.2bn contingent some court cases still under dispute. Plenty more Trump Family asset stripping to come.

You voted for it America!

In 2021 Donald Trump said cryptocurrency was a scam, in 2025 he made $1Bn from crypto. It sort of proves his point.

Turns out that he's referring to some AI projection of Roosevelt. Still i wonder how many people will actually believe this!

 

At least one as I suspect Trump believes he actually did speak to him.

The latest crop of White House schooled judicial nominees proving that an independent judiciary is now a thing of the past.....

Trump saying that the US will impose a charge of 20% of the value of cargo on ships passing through the Straits of Hormuz....

"The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait.

"The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as 'THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,' but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately."

 

 

Just to show the Administration has not lost focus on domestic issues, Palm Beach airport has been renamed The President Donald J Trump International Airport.

( As such infrastructure renaming is usually done after the President has left office, maybe there is something in the offing ).

He leaves the office every Thursday for a long weekend in Florida doesn't he?
