Operation Epic Epstein Fury: Mission accomplished loser --

SUMMARY: Trump told Iran to “open the fuckin’ Strait you crazy bastards…or your civilisation will die.” Iran did nothing. Trump ceased attacks on Iran and agreed to lift all sanctions set over the last 30 years. The Strait of Hormuz is now fully closed.

Tired of winning, yet? Inflation edition --

Inflation was already rising before the war. Trump's failed war has caused it spiral completely out of control.

Russia's asset in our intelligence community protected by perverse dirty trickster Stone -- 

The guy investigated for years for conspiring with Russia (who may have gotten not one, but TWO pardons for his ties to Russia) interceded to make sure Trump didn't fire Tulsi. Great. Just great. www.axios.com/2026/04/10/t...
