Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump + Never allow the Traitor Democrats like Low IQ person Hakeem Jeffries, or Cryin' Chuck Schumer, or the totally corrupt Fake News Media such as the phony and decaying Wall Street Journal, the Failing New York Times (Subscriptions way down!), or dying "60 Minutes," to demean or criticize Operation Midnight Hammer, which totally obliterated the Nuclear Dust locations to the point where bloodthirsty Iran has been unable to get to it, or dig it out. Space Force has cameras on every inch of the 3 sites that were so brilliantly hit last June! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

There’s not even the vaguest pretence of logic in his thinking anymore.

Tha k you ever so much, Anna.

Tindermass by Mark Patrick Lynch A teenage boy, Hackle takes on a dare. Life isn’t kind to Hackle. He’s poor and his mother is seriously ill. But he is tempestuous and proud so once he decided, he won’t back out. The dare is to fi…

Thanks Steve.

Okay, that was really special. One of my favourite ever episodes. Quite beautiful at times, and such a joy to hear the words being talked about. It was exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you.

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells The Mirror: “I feel very frustrated and angry that the US went into this war without a clear exit plan, without a clear idea of what they were trying to achieve. And as a result the Strait of Hormuz is now blocked.

Xi Jinping says world in ‘disarray’ as Spain pushes China to help end Iran war Chinese president says Spain and China are ‘morally upright’ nations that should strengthen their co-operation

Xi: "The world order is crumbling into disarray."

One quote from Vance summed up that the US negotiating team didn’t get it at all: "They have not chosen to accept our terms.”

They still can’t believe that people don’t just roll over and give them what they want.

Now Trump has a choice - escalate or give Iran what *it* wants.

Sounds like a plan, m'lord.

I should do a giveaway here too!

I'll randomly select someone who retweets this to receive a signed copy of Daughter of Crows 🙂

And the Republicans' shoes don't even fit.

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell:

Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad.

The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

Bugger. The 20-odd-year-old microwave I inherited from my mum and dad has perished. Been a brilliant bit of kit, and has outlived many other microwaves. Sadly, when we use it now, it lights up and hisses and crackles like a Delorian jumping back in time.
