The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Socialists_of_America
“We’re on the Democratic Party ballot line. We contest the primaries, and when they’re in the legislature, they’re part of the Democratic Party caucus, but we don’t agree with the way the Democratic Party establishment organizes or runs its party apparatus,” he told Spectrum News in an interview. Gordillo was rather open about taking advantage of Trump-hating Democrats. In a clip on X, he said:”We’re using the Democratic Party as a ballot-access vehicle, not because we share its goals […] We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it’s useful, and push our own agenda from the inside.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_A._SmithStephen A. Smith, ESPN host and executive producer of First Take and host of Straight Shooter, questioned how Obama and former President Bill Clinton built large fortunes after careers in public office.
“I’ll confess something to ya’ll,” Smith continued. “Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas. Grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell him and the Clinton Foundation is worth hundreds of millions of dollars beat me.” Smith also pointed to former President Barack Obama’s similar high net worth. “Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the president of the United States and, last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000, if I remember correctly,” Smith said. “I got to double check that,” he added. “How the hell you depart from office worth over $200 million?”

Did you know?Human beings respond to incentives whether they exist in economics, politics, or culture. If a society rewards certain forms of behavior with status, attention, influence, institutional support, or financial gain, those behaviors predictably proliferate. Social media has accelerated this process dramatically. Platforms built upon visibility and engagement naturally privilege outrage, conflict, and emotional intensity. Claims of victimization generate attention. Attention generates followers. Followers generate influence. Influence often generates money, prestige, and institutional power.= Grievance, in the digital age, has become monetizable.

In Judiciary Week message, Leader orders legal pursuit of US-Israeli war crimes against Iran
Sunday, 28 June 2026 10:49 AM [ Last Update: Sunday, 28 June 2026 11:27 AM ]Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei has called on Iran’s Judiciary to pursue and restore the nation’s rights that have been violated as a result of the US-Israeli wars of aggression since last year.
In a Sunday message issued on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti and his companions, designated as the Judiciary Week, Ayatollah Khamenei said one of the most important legal and judicial issues facing the entire Iranian nation at the present time is pursuing and restoring those rights violated by “international criminals and arrogant and aggressive powers.”
The Leader said that safeguarding the rights of the Iranian people extends beyond individual legal matters and includes defending the country’s collective rights against crimes committed by foreign aggressors.
He said the Judiciary in the Islamic Republic has the responsibility to protect people’s rights, revive public rights and legitimate freedoms, combat corruption, enforce justice, uphold divine laws, and oversee the implementation of the law.
Success in carrying out those duties, he said, would strengthen public trust in the judicial system.
Turning to the country’s most pressing legal challenge, Ayatollah Khamenei said pursuing the rights violated by international criminals and global aggressors, particularly since last year, is among the Judiciary’s foremost responsibilities.
He said the blood of those killed in the two wars of aggression against Iran – waged by the United States and Israel in June 2025 and February 2026 – together with the physical, psychological, material, and spiritual damage inflicted on Iran and its people inside and outside the country, forms the basis for hundreds or even thousands of significant legal cases.
The Leader also invoked the killing of children and unprecedented war crimes in Minab and Lamerd, attacks on medical and public service centers, and the deaths of victims ranging from newborn infants to the elderly.

US leaders have enmity toward humanity ‘embedded in their genes’: Iran’s judiciary chief
Eje’i says murder is ingrained in the nature of the “evil US regime,” arguing that hostility toward humanity and human rights is embedded in the genes of American leaders.
Above all, he referred to the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, whom he described as “the unparalleled personality, the unique jewel of the era, the great mujahid Leader,” saying each case must be pursued seriously before domestic and international courts.“What is certain is that the criminals must be brought to justice and made to face the consequences of their criminal acts,” he said.
The Leader further argued that statements by certain American and Israeli leaders acknowledging, and even openly taking pride in, such acts constitute admissions of crimes that strengthen the legal basis for restoring the Iranian nation’s violated rights.
Ayatollah Khamenei also said that implementing the martyred Leader’s directive during his final meeting with judicial officials last year to investigate crimes committed during the 2025 war should now be extended to the latest imposed war and pursued continuously until judgments are issued and enforced by competent authorities.
According to the Leader, such legal action would help prevent the recurrence of similar crimes in the future.
Concluding his message, the Leader said achieving comprehensive judicial transformation requires sincerity, piety, determination, courage, innovation, and the effective use of modern technologies and intelligent systems, expressing hope that these goals would be realized through divine assistance.
“Larry Johnson: Putin Warns the West – Russia is Ready for War — Glenn Diesen
“The West” means “Europe” but they’re extremely careful to go around and never, ever say this. They will do anything to imply and corral the United States into WWIII that has nothing to do with us, and will destroy us for Europe’s benefit. 100 geniuses in a row and 99 of them all “Can’t Notice.”
Meanwhile Cleetus the Slackjawed Yokel from Arkansas and Alabama CAN notice. It’s obvious. You know how much college you need to be that dumb and override common sense?
“They Have No Reverse Gear (Live) The Duran
Who is “They” though? “The West” they will say. There is no Europe, there is only one country: the United States, and we are responsible for every leaf that falls from a tree, Europe has no action or agency. They’re just shiftless, slavish, worthless, layabouts! Yup. And that’s GOOD. That’s why it’s our fault! Because Europe is so weak, lazy, and shiftless! We’re so amazing, we remove all money, men, and weapons, and Europe just continues the war anyway on sheer moral support! “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome nuclear power? By committing suicide 2 million times in a row?” “Yes Master” says Europe, they say. A moral power. They are using DonaldTelepathy to intuit what we want, then obey before we ask! That’s what makes them uniquely moral and not responsible.
Good Thing! Since they have more people, larger GDP than we do, and are thousands of miles away, we’d never stand a chance if they lifted a finger to expel us.
RFK giving a try to organic farming: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F4joGZ_SgEU
Apparently we are going to be the lead on this, and you see a huge, strong, long public pressure from the grassroots. Like, normal people throwing their lives and sacrificing to own farms and do the thing. We see that almost never and it matters.
Today:
“• The Shooting in the Strait Ain’t over, But… (Larry Johnson)Nope, it’s not over. And they’ll definitely keep it as long as they can, probably until London falls. It’s not “Iran”, they keep saying that, but “Iran” signed an MoU, and instantly the IRGC does the Opposite. There is no clearer case they’re not one country but rogue elements. This was repeated a dozen or more times, like bombing UAE, the President resigning, and so on.
It’s very clear they have a terrorist cell running most of “government”, the nation, same as we do and we call ours the CIA. Not picking on Iran! Or England. Or whoever. We all have the same problem and same enemy.“naval officials said the route was established without notice or coordination with Iran, calling it “unacceptable and completely dangerous.”
So the IRGC started drone-striking ships, for their own safety.
“The Ever Lovely was struck by a drone belonging to Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”
WTF? Not only are they not powerful, the drone strike PROVES they are not powerful, since it’s essentially a flash-bang that exists only for the idiots in News. Why would you add “The Powerful”? Do they add “The Powerful US Army”? “The Powerful Donald Trump”? No they do not. And why do you NEED to add it? A: Because they’re NOT powerful, and you’re attempting persuasion. That is, reality isn’t speaking for itself, they have to lie.
“the US response inflicted little damage and could reasonably be interpreted as a symbolic gesture rather than a punishing attack. The IRGC Public Relations department issued the following statement”
First time in world history we only report and believe whatever the ENEMY says happened as gospel, and our own official legal releases as fiction. Is no one suspicious by this? Like yes we don’t believe what MacNamara says, but We just hang on every word of the Viet Cong? If anything this is crazier than before.
Instead of marking a return to war, this exchange of fire can best be categorize as military political theater.” Yes.
“For now, Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz and ships wanting to transit the Strait are adhering to Iran’s new policy.”
That is clearly not true at all. 175 ships refused to pay and left without incident. The one that was struck was unharmed. A huge portion of them are taking a route Iran doesn’t like, since it can’t control and extort them. We wiped out another radar station. Every part of that is the opposite.“Iranian drones attacked Bahrain after overnight airstrikes by the United States.”
So everyone’s argument is, Iran’s leader signed the MoU then called home base on the phone and bombed Bahrain, right? And this makes Iran the good guys, and good faith actors, totally trustworthy. Can you not see how nuts this story is?
Orrrrrr…maybe the IRGC is essentially at civil war and complete defiance of the Iranian Government? Maybe that?
So if the IRGC doesn’t work for Iran, who do they work for?“Promethean Action PAC argues the reason the Ukraine war is hardest to end is simply because Ukraine represents the proxy state of all the globalists”
…And because it’s all a money-laundering circle. They will literally collapse if they stop, aside from the war.

• Zelensky Telegraphs 40-Day Pressure Offensive On Russia (ZH)Yes, well, no facts or details: Military Summary notes Russia is withhold a ton of weapons each day. At the run rate they had a 1,000 saved up even last week. They’re planning to hit everything at once, it seems. This is no surprise. As Ukraine is wasting precious drones sending smoke-bombs, no doubt this will work. What’s actually hitting Russia? A: England. Stormshadows and other actual, hard, large, high-tech.
Previous article, on how “Extreme” they or we are, yes, and I’ve been saying it forever. So not much to add except, we cure it by telling the truth.
“• Culture of Grievance- When Victimhood Becomes Social Currency (Brooks)
Yes, but there’s a secret hidden here. Capitalism is the currency of money. Sort of. In fact, your reputation, etc, social position still matters a lot even to do more business or have more money. We pretend it doesn’t, but it does. So you end up having both, or more, a redundancy. If you’re falsely maligned, you can fall back on money, impersonal transactions. Or vice versa: without money you can lean into family and social connections.
What’s the other side, without money? No Capitalism? Oddly, then the only currency IS Social Credit. You are popular with the Party, or you’re scum. There is no backup of any kind, not eating in a diner, not religion. There is only “Are you Popular and Serve the State?” And WHO decides that? Not angels, other scumbags where maligning you is way, way easier than breaking into a bank and robbing your account.
So any time you hear “Social Credit” “Social Currency” it’s this. It’s 1984. It’s having no protection at all from the Mob. From the State. You’re popular or you’re dead. And popularity rests on nothing, on no more than 8th grade girls have. It’s literally the essence of Hell. That’s Twitter and Facebook! Now you’re unemployed bc you were slightly less enthusiastic about cutting your son’s dick off than they feel you should be.
In this case, worse than that. Being a Victim: that is, a limp useless, failure. That’s the HIGHEST state. The more you fail and people hate you, the more credit, status, “money”, leverage, you have.
If people hate you completely, almost all of them, and fail at everything you’ve ever touched, they’ll make you President! Look at Kier Starmer!
Yeah, no, there’s a reason we don’t do this and I’m sorry we had to rediscover it. It’s obvious, we’ve said since 1949, everyone wanted to learn the hard way, with most lives lost.

SUNDAY WIRE EP 601 – How Trump Just Sabotaged His Own Iran ‘Deal’
The MoU is still being broken by the US.
The US has better AI than you to give answers
Ask your AI .
The US needs jet fuel and diesel fuel, where is the critical supply point? 18 days?
Here is what my AI answered.
———-
Short answer:
The critical supply point for U.S. jet fuel and diesel is not a single location — it’s a feedstock corridor. The 18‑day constraint comes from where the right crude originates, where it is refined, and how fast it can be moved to military consumption nodes. The bottleneck is structural, not geographic.THE CRITICAL SUPPLY POINT: THE MIDDLE EAST MEDIUM‑SOUR CRUDE CORRIDOR
The U.S. military’s jet fuel (JP‑8/JP‑5) and high‑spec diesel depend on medium‑sour crude.
That crude overwhelmingly comes from:Saudi Arabia
UAE
Kuwait
Iraq
Qatar
(Indirectly) Iran
This is the critical supply point.
Not the U.S. refineries, not domestic shale, not Gulf Coast storage — the feedstock itself.Without medium‑sour crude, U.S. refineries cannot produce enough jet fuel or military‑grade diesel at surge tempo.
Why this corridor is critical
Medium‑sour crude yields:high‑quality kerosene fractions
distillates needed for JP‑8
diesel with the right molecular profile
stable output under high‑volume cracking
U.S. shale (light sweet crude) cannot replace this.
It produces too much gasoline and naphtha, not enough jet/diesel molecules.WHERE IT GETS TURNED INTO MILITARY FUEL
The refining bottleneck is concentrated in:U.S. Gulf Coast refineries
Motiva (Port Arthur)Valero (Corpus Christi, Port Arthur)
Marathon (Galveston Bay)
ExxonMobil (Baytown, Beaumont)
These are the largest U.S. facilities capable of processing medium‑sour crude at scale.
They are the conversion chokepoint.
If feedstock slows, these refineries cannot maintain jet/diesel output.
WHERE IT GETS STORED
The U.S. has no strategic jet fuel reserve.
Storage is thin and scattered:Jet fuel storage nodes
Gulf Coast tank farmsEast Coast tank farms
On‑base storage (3–10 days at normal tempo)
Commercial aviation hubs (Atlanta, JFK, LAX, Chicago)
Diesel storage nodes
Gulf CoastMidwest
Northeast (heating oil + diesel overlap)
None of these are sized for wartime surge.
WHERE IT GETS CONSUMED
The highest‑tempo military consumption nodes are:Jet fuel
CENTCOM bases (Qatar, UAE, Kuwait)Carrier strike groups (JP‑5)
USAF bomber bases (CONUS + forward)
ISR and tanker fleets (KC‑135, KC‑46, MQ‑9, RQ‑4)
Diesel
Navy escortsArmy ground logistics
Marine expeditionary units
DoD logistics ships
These nodes burn fuel at rates that overwhelm U.S. refining and storage if feedstock is disrupted.
THE 18‑DAY LIMIT
The U.S. can sustain high‑tempo operations for ~18 days before hitting hard constraints.This number comes from:
Refinery configuration limits
Feedstock dependency on Middle East medium‑sour crude
Minimal jet fuel storage
Pipeline and tanker throughput ceilings
Competition with commercial aviation and domestic diesel demand
It is not a “run out of fuel” scenario — it is a run out of surge capacity scenario.
After ~18 days, the U.S. must:
ration domestic diesel
curtail commercial aviation
rely on allies for refined product
reconfigure refineries (takes weeks)
prioritize certain theaters over others
This is why the U.S. cannot sustain a major Iran conflict without external fuel support.
BOTTOM LINE
Critical supply point = Middle East medium‑sour crude corridor.
Critical conversion point = U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.
Critical vulnerability = minimal jet fuel storage + fixed distribution capacity.
18 days = maximum surge tempo before constraints bite.

Does the supply from Canada change anythingShort answer:
Yes — Canadian supply changes the picture, but not enough to eliminate the U.S. jet‑fuel/diesel vulnerability. It extends the surge window, shifts the bottleneck, and partially substitutes Middle East feedstock — but it does not remove the 18‑day constraint.Below is the precise, source‑grounded breakdown.
1. Canada is the U.S.’s largest hydrocarbon supplier
Canada provided 61–70% of all crude oil imported by the U.S. in 2023–2024 .This matters because:
U.S. jet fuel and diesel production depends on steady crude inflow.
Canada is the most reliable supplier (no chokepoints like Hormuz).
But reliability ≠ suitability.
The type of crude matters.
2. Canada’s synthetic crude is ideal for jet fuel and diesel
This is the key shift.Canada’s oil sands produce synthetic crude (upgraded bitumen) with:
very low sulfur
high distillate yield
excellent jet fuel and diesel fractions
This crude is exactly what U.S. refineries need when Middle East medium‑sour barrels are disrupted.
And during the current Middle East war, synthetic crude prices surged 200% because refiners desperately need its jet/diesel yield .
Reduces reliance on ocean shipping.
Stabilizes Midwest and West Coast military fuel supply.
What Canada cannot do:
Replace Middle East medium‑sour crude at full U.S. wartime burn rates.Provide enough jet fuel to sustain a major air campaign beyond ~3 weeks.
Overcome U.S. refinery configuration limits (most are tuned for medium‑sour).
This confirms its strategic value.
Reduces reliance on ocean shipping.
Stabilizes Midwest and West Coast military fuel supply.
Net effect:
Canada likely extends the U.S. surge window from ~18 days to ~22–26 days, depending on:refinery throughput
commercial aviation curtailment
diesel rationing
pipeline prioritization
But the fundamental constraint remains.
Bottom line
Canada helps, but does not solve the U.S. jet fuel/diesel vulnerability.Canada is the largest U.S. crude supplier.
Synthetic crude is perfect for jet/diesel production.
Canada exports refined diesel and jet fuel to the U.S.
Pipeline connectivity makes supply secure and fast.
But Canada cannot replace Middle East medium‑sour crude at wartime burn rates.
Canada extends the window — it does not remove the limit.

I assume that all CUSMA negotiators know all of this and more.Trump “treats” because of the 18 days
1. The U.S. is front‑loading a war it might fight
Heavy airlift into West Asia → warehouses, magazines, air defense, spares, support gear already in‑theater.Carrier group + air assets → strike capacity parked within reach.
This is pre‑decision staging: make sure that if they choose to move, they can hit hard immediately.
———–
Iran knows the window and is planning to outlast itIran sees the surge, the carrier, the air patterns.
It disperses, hardens, hides, and prepares asymmetric retaliation.
Its core bet: survive the first phase, then exploit the U.S. slowdown.
So you have two actors both planning around the same constraint:
U.S.: “Hit fast, hit hard, don’t get stuck.”
Iran: “Don’t break in the first hit; make them pay for trying.”
So the picture is:
A heavily armed, time‑bounded U.S. punch being quietly positioned,
against an opponent who knows it’s coming and is bracing to absorb it.“Iran launches large wave of SRBMs on US bases in Kuwait & Bahrain; Largest ever US logistical operation surrounding Iran; Iran issues order to assassinate Trump & Netanyahu; sends ultimatum for Israel.”
