Fed-Up Trump Threatens to ‘blow the s–t’ Out of Iran — Prompting Tehran to Storm out of US Peace Talks

/13 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Iranian negotiators stormed out of the high-level peace talks with the US in Switzerland on Sunday after a frustrated President Trump unleashed his fury on the regime — threatening to seize the Strait of Hormuz and “blow the s–t out of them.”

The talks were abandoned after just 80 minutes when the discussions entered a “difficult phase” following “an insulting message by the US president,” Iran’s state news agency reported.

Vice President JD Vance, who was spearheading the negotiations, had earlier said the US hoped to “turn over a new leaf” with the Islamic Republic.

The talks in the Qatari-owned mountaintop resort of Buergenstock in Switzerland were the first to be held under the terms ‌of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreed a week ago.

But hopes of progress were swiftly dashed, and the diplomatic efforts were cut off when Trump, who had been criticized for being too soft on the regime with the MOU, warned that the US would hammer Iran if it didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz and rein in its terrorist proxies.

Major dispute to threaten Trump’s Iran deal over billions in frozen Tehran funds: expert

By Fox News. As U.S. and Iranian negotiators met in Switzerland on Sunday, a regional analyst warned that a dispute over billions in potentially unfrozen Iranian assets could quickly test the durability of a fledgling interim agreement.

The disagreement is emerging, they say, as Washington and Tehran begin implementing the memorandum of understanding signed June 17, with negotiators holding the first round of talks at Bürgenstock, near Lucerne, Switzerland.

According to Iran International, President Masoud Pezeshkian had signaled Tehran’s expectations early Sunday, saying, “$6 billion of our funds in Qatar will be returned. Trump, who tried to deny Iran its rights, acknowledged them in his recent speech.”

The dispute traces back to discussions at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, where world leaders debated the issue.

“We have taken their money, it isn’t our money, it is their money, and we froze it,” President Donald Trump said. “At a certain point in time, I guess we’re going to have to give it back.” (Read more from “Major dispute to threaten Trump’s Iran deal over billions in frozen Tehran funds: expert” HERE)

The Iran War Is Reportedly Bleeding The Pentagon Dry

/0 Comments/in , /by

If the expenses from the Iran War continue to grow, the Pentagon could run out of operational funds during the summer unless Congress passes an emergency wartime spending bill.

The Pentagon needs $80 billion to cover expenses from the Iran War and other expenses, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the discussions. The details of the funding constraints were reportedly unveiled by Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg during phone calls with lawmakers.

The $80 billion figure is not yet a formal supplemental request under Congressional consideration. Any such request would first need approval from the White House Office of Management and Budget before being sent to Capitol Hill.

“… we think it [spending on the Iran War] is closer to 29 [billion dollars],” Jules W. Hurst III, who formerly performed the duties of under secretary of war (comptroller) and chief financial officer, said during a May 12 House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing. That estimate, however, has not been publicly updated, and the real cost is likely much higher.

The White House, the Office of Management and Budget, the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Senate Armed Services Committee, the House GOP press office, and the House Armed Services Committee Majority Staff did not immediately respond to a Daily Caller News Foundation request for comment. The Department of War declined to comment. (Read more from “The Iran War Is Reportedly Bleeding The Pentagon Dry” HERE)

The Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 Origins Cover-Up Runs ‘Deep’ into Our Intelligence Community

/0 Comments/in , /by

On her final day as director of national intelligence Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released damning declassified evidence accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging in a cover-up about the virus origins in China and lying to Congress about it.

Perhaps most disturbingly, he was assisted by the US intelligence community.

“It’s time you know the truth,” said Gabbard when she released “never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024 . . . The tactics used to hide the truth are straight from the deep state playbook.”

Right on cue, two days after the bombshell release, on Sunday, The Washington Post ran a 9,000-word hit piece accusing Gabbard of taking instructions from a Hindu “cult leader” described in the headline as her “guru.”

It was a gratuitous exercise in guilt-by-association masquerading as an investigation, another tactic straight from the deep state playbook. (Read more from “The Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 Origins Cover-Up Runs ‘Deep’ into Our Intelligence Community” HERE)

Senate Wades Even Deeper Into Bloody Years-Long Proxy War In New Defense Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the Trump administration looks for an off-ramp to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the Senate appears to be heading in the opposite direction as it floats continued “intelligence support” to help Kyiv take back Crimea and other Russian-held territories.

The language is buried in Section 1223 of the proposed Senate version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), “Intelligence Support for Ukraine.” The provision is being proposed as the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to escalate, with Moscow threatening strikes on Western Europe in response to drone attacks from Kyiv that have brought the battlefield home.

Ukraine launched the largest drone attack on Moscow since the beginning of the war shortly after the proposed legislation was released on Thursday, Reuters reported, citing Andrei Vorobyov, ​the governor of Moscow Oblast. Russian air defense systems shot down 555 drones during the attack, state-funded TASS Russian News Agency reported, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“The Secretary of Defense shall provide intelligence support, including information, intelligence, and imagery collection authorized under title 10, United States Code, to the Government of Ukraine for the purpose of supporting military operations of the Government of Ukraine that are intended to defend and retake the territory of Ukraine,” Section 1223 of the proposed Senate version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) reads.

The language proposed in the Senate version of the 2027 NDAA specifies that Crimea is among these goals. Notably, the 2023 and 2026 NDAA also offer “intelligence” support for Ukraine, but do not go as far as formally recognizing Crimea as Ukrainian territory to be reclaimed.

Fox Host Mark Levin Is Now Trashing Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News host Mark Levin accused President Donald Trump of “trashing” and “bullying” Israel, in recent posts on X and during the monologue of his Saturday show.

During a Thursday press conference, Vice President JD Vance criticized Israeli officials who “attacked” the memorandum of understanding Trump signed with Iran, setting up a 60-day period of negotiations to secure a final peace deal. Levin tore into Trump during a rant which lasted for over 17 minutes Saturday night.

“I want to say to people in and out of the administration: stop trashing, smearing, bullying the little state of Israel. Stop cozying up to and telling us that the enemy regime in Iran is now more rational, more moderate, and a regime that we can deal with,” Levin demanded. “When just a few months ago they slaughtered 50,000 people, they’re still hanging young people today and, if they had a nuclear missile today, they’d fire it into our country as sure as I’m alive.”

“I don’t know what’s going on, but if people think they can bully a little country, Israel — a people that have existed 4,000 years through the Babylonians and the Persians, through the Romans and the Third Reich — into surrendering their defense and their decision on how to secure their country, they get another thing coming,” Levin continued. “I think it’s outrageous.”

Levin also took potshots at Trump on social media, including referencing the $400 million Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar which was converted into a new airframe in support of the Air Force One presidential airlift mission. The two government-ordered Boeing 747-8 aircraft are suffering overruns and delays pushing their delivery past 2028. (Read more from “Fox Host Mark Levin Is Now Trashing Trump” HERE)

A majority of Americans want the United States to end the war with Iran now, according to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll.

The survey, which was taken Wednesday through Friday, asked participants, “The Conflict with Iran: What Should the U.S. Do Now?” CBS reported Sunday.

He ‘Lied’: Tulsi Gabbard Releases Evidence Fauci Allegedly Directed Funding for ‘Risky’ Coronavirus Research Linked to Big Pharma and Pursuit of ‘Universal Vaccines’

/19 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard used her last day in office to release a trove of evidence that Dr. Anthony Fauci – former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) – lied to Congress and directed U.S. funding for gain-of-function research linked to Big Pharma’s pursuit of “universal vaccines,” all while influencing and manipulating the intelligence community to cover up his role in the coronavirus pandemic.

Gabbard, who is leaving her post to help her husband as he battles an “extremely rare” form of cancer, released a trove of documents on her last day in office showcasing what many have said for years: Fauci lied to cover up his own alleged wrongdoing.

The Trump administration is blowing the lid off the coverup completely, showcasing Fauci’s role in providing millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology – where that specific coronavirus is suspected to originate.

Gabbard said:

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never before seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus’s lab leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives.

Gabbard drops bombshell on former gov official after releasing treasure trove of secret files

By Fox News. Just before leaving office amid a contentious battle over who will succeed her, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard used one of her final acts atop the U.S. intelligence community to spotlight Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in discussions surrounding the government’s COVID-19 origins review.

While much of the material is familiar, Gabbard’s release underscores her effort to make questions surrounding Fauci, COVID origins and federal support for virus research part of her closing legacy atop the intelligence community.

As Gabbard fired her final broadside, Bill Pulte, who has received bipartisan criticism over his lack of intelligence experience, is set to take the reins at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence while Trump’s permanent nominee remains stalled.

Jay Clayton, an attorney and former SEC chairman whom Trump nominated to permanently lead ODNI, has seen his confirmation process delayed after the president said he was holding up the nomination to pressure Congress to pass a voter identification measure.

Trailblazing Trans Lawmaker Sentenced To Over 33 Years For Child Exploitation

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The first transgender lawmaker elected to a state legislature was sentenced to 33 years in prison Thursday for charges of child exploitation after convincing his “former intimate partner” to take explicit photos of children at a daycare.

Stacie-Marie Laughton, a 42-year-old man who claims to be a woman, faces more than 33 years in prison after convincing his former partner, Lindsay Groves, to take photos of children at the daycare where she once worked. Groves took nude photos of children estimated to be between the ages of three and five during bathroom breaks and diaper changes, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), before sending them to Laughton via text.

Groves’ and Laughton’s phones contained over 10,000 text messages between them in just one month in 2023, which included discussion and transfer of explicit photographs of the children.

Laughton was originally elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 2012 but later announced he would not take office, pointing to three felony convictions related to credit card fraud in 2008. Laughton, who reportedly had plans to become a minister, later served in the House from 2020 to 2022.

Laughton pleaded guilty in November 2025 to three counts of sexual exploitation of children and now faces over 33 years in prison. Groves also pleaded guilty in October 2025 to three counts of sexual exploitation of children and one count of distribution of child pornography, later being sentenced to nearly 22 years.

Meloni Slams Trump’s Claim She ‘Begged’ for a Photo with Him as Italy’s Top Diplomat Cancels US Trip

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Italian government closed ranks on Friday to slam U.S. President Donald Trump over his claim that Premier Giorgia Meloni had “begged” for a photo with him during the recent G7 summit, a pushback that suggested America’s longtime European ally had had enough of Trump’s boasting and criticism.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani abruptly cancelled a planned trip to the United States this weekend, calling Trump’s claims “serious and offensive” toward Meloni and all of Italy. The Foreign Ministry later announced that the business and scientific forum Tajani was to attend in Miami had also been called off.

Meloni for her part posted a video calling Trump’s claims “completely fabricated” and expressing astonishment that he would invent such things about an ally.

“Italy and I do not beg,” she said pointedly. (Read more from “Meloni slams Trump’s claim she ‘begged’ for a photo with him as Italy’s top diplomat cancels US trip” HERE)

White House Spars with MAGA Allies as Iran Deal Sparks Conservative Revolt

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump White House is lashing out at some of its most reliable allies as a bitter civil war erupts on the right over the administration’s controversial Iran agreement.

Conservative commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon became the latest target Friday after she blasted the deal as an “utter humiliation” for the US and accused Vice President JD Vance of unfairly attacking Israel while defending Tehran.

Within hours the official White House rapid-response account on X unloaded on the conservative pundit in a pair of scathing posts.

“The only humiliation here is Batya desperately begging for an additional brain cell because her failing TV show is even more irrelevant than the likes of Kaitlan Collins and Fake Tapper,” the account, Rapid Response 47, wrote.

Collins, CNN’s chief White House correspondent and the host of a primetime show, has been a frequent target of Trump, as has Jake Tapper, the host of the network’s daily political wrap-up show “The Lead with Jake Tapper.”
