• They say to the victor go the spoils.
• What spoils have the American people received after this ‘victory’ in Iran?
• Have Americans gained any spoils? Higher gas prices is not spoils.

TKD Reads President Trumps Message of Ceasefire

• Stop killing people in Lebanon was one of the 10 points from Iran.
• Who is lying in all of this?
• Are we the baddies?
• Are we lying about not having Lebanon included in the ceasefire?
• Someone call me and tell me why the PM of Pakistan would lie about Lebanon being part of the ceasefire?
• What do they have to gain by that?
• Either that or one party horribly misunderstood the terms of the agreement.
• Now on Saturday Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Vice President JD Vance are meeting to hash more of this out.
• Why are Steve and Jared still in this negotiation?
• There are ships going through the Strait but no oil tankers only dry goods and very few ships at that.
• The whole damn thing is a hoax it seems.
• Even Benny Johnson yesterday was having issues with Benjamin Netanyahu being in the situation room.
• The news of this has not truly surfaced in the MSM yet.
• I have not seen on Fox News any mention of the NYT article.
• The only reason I read that to you yesterday was Maggie was the journalist attached to it.
• The war porn is just so disgusting. Watching some poor target in Iran being blown to bits. This isn’t entertainment folks. It shouldn’t be entertainment.

• Who would have thought our MAGA man would have turned out to be a neo-Con?
• Did you have this on your Bingo card?
• Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi formalized Tehran’s position in an overnight statement on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council. He said that Iran’s armed forces would cease “defensive operations” on the condition that all U.S. and Israeli attacks stop.
• Regime change in Iran, there has been a regime change alright but now the IRGC is in charge over the Ayatollah.
• The IRGC said it shot down an Israeli Hermes 900 drone over Fars Province in southern Iran, and warned that any entry of American or Israeli aircraft into Iranian airspace would be treated as a ceasefire violation and met with a “decisive response.”
• This disaster just keeps unfolding.

• You keep saying they are going to pay the consequences, what are the consequences?
• Jonathan Karl of ABC News asked President Trump whether he can live with Iran instituting a toll system for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The arrangement, already in effect even before the ceasefire, would be codified under Tehran’s 10-point plan for ending the war, which Trump has accepted as a basis for negotiations.
• The resulting system would amount to a major concession to the Islamic Republic, which didn’t collect any fees for permitting passage before the war. At least one vessel has already paid $2 million to pass. If that becomes the going rate, Iran could pocket some $70 billion to $90 billion a year, according to a JPMorgan estimate — in effect, obtaining through fees the reparations to which Tehran insists it is entitled for the destruction caused by the war. Hence, Karl’s question.
• By the way the genius of the United States and Western powers of demonizing the Iranian regime has been very successful wouldn’t you say?

SEGMENT 2

• At least the Democrats tell you exactly what they are going to do.
• You have built-in Trump opposition.
• The never Trumpers never went away.
• The neo-Cons never stopped being neo-Cons.
• This is why the betrayal hurts so much.

FROM CRUSADERS STADIUM: I consider myself a patriot, I love my country, I love my children but I find myself almost rooting for our foreign policy to fail.

• Can I make the point that this is beyond the pale of anything you could call Christian?

TKD Describes AI DUAL Image – Catholic Confessional State

• Which civilization would you like to live in?
• I am happy to live under a kind, benevolent Christian King.
• I think this is a pretty good representation of where we are.

• Who got the spoils of the War of Northern Aggression?
• The first most major spoil is they got to write the history of the war.
• What is another one?
• There was this thing called Reconstruction. There was REGIME change in the great South. Men like Jefferson Davis was told he couldn’t be Governor anymore.
• That is a regime change, a spoil of war.
• Who is determining and choosing who the next Iranian leadership will be? It sure as hell isn’t America. THEY are. Who did they replace the Ayatollah with? His homo son and now the IRGC.
• No one in Iran wants to become American!

• What is happening this week in Europe?
• There will be an election on Sunday in Hungary.
• You can’t make laws that will dethrone Christ the King.
• Viktor Orban has been running Hungary and it is hated by the secular whackos of the EU.
• Orban is a protestant by the way.

HEADLINE: For One Day, the World Revolves Around Hungary by Michael Brendan Dougherty

• The polls are all over the place. Those funded by the European Union and die-hard enemies of the current government show absurdly large leads for the opposition, sometimes by as much as 20 points. Those funded by the government’s media in Hungary show the incumbent party with a healthy lead of anything from six to ten points.

• Self-appointed guardians of the “liberal world order” have already declared that Orbán’s party will lose this election legitimately, or it will win it by illegitimate means or somehow declare an emergency and try to annul the result. Some have fantasized about bringing Orbán out and publicly executing him like Romania’s communist dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu. Others invoke the idea of staging something like the Ukrainian Maidan revolution in Budapest if he prevails.
• You might notice that satan and his demons are working overtime and they seem to be doing very well.
• You have a woman running around claiming she is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
• You don’t get your way is the point!
• Now compare that to what is happening in the Untied States?

HEADLINE: Europe, America, And (Bad) Narratives by Rod Dreher

• I just saw a video on Fox News of an Israeli missile hitting apartment and office buildings in Beirut.
• You see how Catholic formation is important? Under Christendom this is NOT permissible. He filmed a war crime like it was just another day in the Middle East.
• This time the people of Lebanon are getting their Zionist exceptionalism.
• You will answer for this whether it is in this life or the next.
• Why is America even friendly with Israel any longer?
• That is because most people don’t know what the hell is going on and that is intentional.

Commentator Gandalv Response

• So it isn’t that Americans are stupid it is that they are living in a system in which the information is blocked. A system where the information keepers determine what the reader or listener SHOULD be hearing.
• ALL the information is sorted and the MSM determines what seeps out for the American viewer to hear.
• Fox News is an ecosystem, it is and echo chamber. Don’t use the word conservative to describe what happens on Fox. If that is conservatism then call me a liberal.
• That is what Gandalv is talking about.

• The PM of Spain and now Macron are both calling for a tribunal to be held and Benjamin Netanyahu to be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

• If there is one thing we do have is talented people that just haven’t realized their potential.
• So Make America Neo-Con was already underway in 2025.
• He can’t run again so he has NO reason to keep any of his promises to MAGA and we are seeing that now.
• He is choosing his son-in-law over MAGA.
• No one has invested more.
• I covered it all from assassination attempts, all the law fare, all of that actually happened, it was all true and I participated. But I can also withdraw my consent.
• When he brought up IVF and all manner of other things, I withdrew my consent.
• He is doing so much damage to the conservative movement.
• This is just the latest one, but in this instance the man driving it was conned by a foreign government.

HEADLINE: How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran by Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman

SEGMENT 5

• An official in the administration of President Donald Trump has told The Grayzone that CIA Director John Ratcliffe and US CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla have become vehicles for Israel’s Mossad and military as they seek to manipulate the US into attacking Iran. The Trump official referred to Ratcliffe as “Mossad’s stenographer.”
• According to the official, Ratcliffe and Kurilla have pressured Trump to join Israel’s war more directly by regurgitating overblown briefings they received from the Israeli military and Mossad director David Barnea – but without informing the president that the intelligence was derived from a foreign third party.
• I would still like to know who is the White House Council that told Trump it was legal and licit to murder the entire Iranian leadership.
• What if evil Vladimir Putin decided to just take out all the Ukrainian officials including Zelenskyy?

• Countries got to war, presidents don’t.
• You have people driving around in vans collecting bacon grease to make bombs. That happened in WWII.
• Remember the war bonds?
• A comment from earlier when I played the Laura Ingraham audio on HB1 VISAS, we will let foreigners come into our country to assemble OUR missiles?
• What could possibly go wrong?

SEGMENT 6

• Remember the meme that Trump reposted of him in the Pope outfit?
• Now you have a secular war in what is supposed to be the holy land.
• Now you have the Israeli’s bombing at will any Christian left standing in Lebanon.
• We have to be vigilant as to what truly matters.
• The Catholic follows only Christ and His holy church.

• First of all, JD you need better advisor because the Israeli’s own press office said they weren’t even part of these ceasefire negotiations.
• They said they wouldn’t bomb Iran they said nothing of Lebanon.

• I have to say I thought he looked like an unbridled fool trying to tell us about a ceasefire. It was an extremely weak response by him.
• Push Up Pete claiming total annihilation and control of the land and sea, that is just a lie.
• The US Navy tried to breech the Strait yesterday and the Iranians rebuffed it and damaged the ship.
• People aren’t reporting that!
• When I saw that clip of Vance I knew he had no idea what was going on.
• It was a word salad, it was better than Kamala Harris but it was still a word salad.
• We are down across the board on special elections.
• Libertarians and the MAHA coalition was painstakingly put together to save America from Democrats and Trump just burned it to the ground.
• The trend is Democrats and left leaning Republicans are voting for Dems because they need assistance from government programs and that is only getting worse.
• Look at influencers in this administration. We are watching Democrats just silently winning across the country.
• You wouldn’t know any of that is happening though.
• We have moved the entire domestic agenda off the table.
• When was the last time you heard POTUS talking about national investments?

• There isn’t even a discussion now.
• You want to hear how deranged it all has become?
• I am not following along with this lunacy.
• What evidence do you have that Trump has a plan?
• He changes his rhetoric almost daily.
• How did he end up with a war in Iran with no real agenda?
• The gas prices ARE an issue.
• The United States was supposed to be Trump’s focus.
• Does it seem like that is the case right now?
• We elected him to deal with immigration, housing and healthcare. Has any of that been addressed?
• We know that socialism is bad so we give the populist a chance and now that populist is letting us down the young will start gravitating toward socialism now.

• Who is the source of this instability?
• If you look at what he has said about the Middle East, Trump has not always been right.
• We don’t have advisors in our cabinet that are from the Middle East.
• Ours are nepo babies like Jared Kushner.
• Trump hears NOTHING negative about what he is doing.
• Trump may honestly not know how the Americans feel about this war.
• I didn’t vote for any of this.
• Are we just going to stay there indefinitely?
• They will pretend this is all going according to schedule.
• I thought Pete Hegseth lived in reality but maybe I was wrong. A CNN will ask a regular question and Pete will get angry.
• Hegseth personally has filed a complaint against Getty Images because they are taking photos to make him look more harsh.
• Trump complained to the AP over Karoline Leavitt looked unfavorable.
• They are blowing people up but this administration has time to get certain images taken down from Getty Images?

• If you send JD Vance in that meeting unprepared, you better have a back-up plan.
• You are saying that PM from Pakistan is a liar. That will have global consequences.
• The world is going to have a court someday and he will go down.
• Yesterday Trump could be heard shouting at the President of NATO in the White House.

HEADLINE: Trump blasts NATO after closed-door Rutte meeting by Danny Kemp

• President Donald Trump bashed NATO and appeared to renew his threats over Greenland after a closed-door meeting with alliance chief Mark Rutte, during which he was expected to discuss possibly leaving the pivotal security bloc.
• Trump’s outrage at NATO allies over their failure to join in his war against Iran had prompted fears he would seek to pull the United States out of the nearly eight-decade-old alliance.
• He also isn’t trying to make new allies either.
• So that all went away too.

• Putin thought it was ridiculous she was even running and so did Kim Jong Un.
• I think if Kamala was president we would be in trouble with other big dogs in the political arena.
• So I’m not in the camp everything would be better or worse with Kamala.
• I think we would still be dealing with some type of foreign entanglement.
