I'm still chewing on this "deal" and trying to figure out what the strategy is supposed to be, obviously given a shortage of information
I'm starting to think it's similar to Reagan's strategy that choked the Soviet Union, which Aleksandr Dugin describes as an Atlanticist "anaconda." - James Lindsay, anti-Communist@ConceptualJames
The rough idea of the "anaconda" strategy is that of a constrictor snake. It doesn't bite except to control small parts at necessity. It squeezes. And it doesn't just crush. It tightens, puts pressure, and when the target squirms, it tightens again. This continues until the target is suffocated...
The way he says it happened is by controlling all the regions around the target (then: USSR) and by increasing various demands and sanctions to crush the target.
- There's no striking (like biting) except in the narrow sense to punish specific transgression.
- It's just fatally expensive for the target to move.
So this plan might actually be meant to work this way against the Iranian Regime, with a few updated caveats because Trump's geopolitical strategy and Reagan's aren't the same, for good reasons...

'Robbed in plain daylight': Federal government has no idea if it's handing out taxpayer dollars to wrong people * WorldNetDaily * by Nicole Silverio, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"Washington made $186 billion in payment errors just last year and fraudsters are stealing $1.4 billion from taxpayers every day," Ernst said in a statement to the DCNF. "Despite all the systems in place designed to prevent ineligible payments, the information isn't always compatible, complete, consistent, or connected. As long as government offices and computers cannot or do not talk to each other, serial fraudsters, like the ones being exposed in Minneapolis, will keep getting away with scamming Uncle Sam."
How can this EVIL happen in a democratic state??!!-----Britain Stunned As Report Claims 250,000 British Girls Were Victimized by Pakistani Rape Gangs
"The Rape Gang Inquiry Report" unmasks the concerted effort by British officials to cover up the systematic rape of British girls in their early teens, if that, intimidate the girls into refusing to press charges, and protect the feral Pakistani gangs who preyed on them. - streiff
The complicity of British authorities in the cover-up dovetailed with a culture that viewed the goings-on as no big deal.
In this video, the goblinesque father of a convicted rapist blames the 13-year-old victim.
An exhaustive report, called the Jay Report, consolidated revelations from four previous reports going back to 2001.
- It found that gangs, comprised mainly of South Asian men, victimized vulnerable children, often those in the care system or from disadvantaged backgrounds, by showering them with attention, gifts, and affection.
- They were then coerced with drugs and alcohol into sexual relationships, and subsequently passed around to be violently raped and abused by other men in the network.
- Local authorities, particularly those with a duty to protect the girls, avoided taking action to protect their own reputations or prevent accusations of racism.
- More horrifying was that serving police officers were involved with the gangs, with survivors alleging officers provided drugs, engaged in sexual assault, and tipped off the gangs...

Bill to defund U.S. universities with CCP ties gains momentum in Congress * WorldNetDaily * by Pedro Rodriguez, The Daily Signal
Bill to defund U.S. universities with CCP ties gains momentum in Congress * WorldNetDaily * by Pedro Rodriguez, The Daily Signal:
In response, Fallon introduced the Espionage Prevention Act, which would cut taxpayer funding to universities that maintain "contractual or in kind relationships with certain covered entities like the Confucius Institutes or the Thousand Talents Program and others that have CCP affiliations."
"The legislation is long overdue," Fallon said. "What the bill does is it's going to modify the National Security Act of 1947 to essentially ban the IC community, which is 18 different intelligence community agencies, from funding universities that have CCP ties."
Wonderin' if there was any graft there?-----The Barack Hussein Obama Presidential Library is now open to the public and it’s already being called the most hideous presidential edifice in American history.
It is also the most expensive presidential library in history. - Todd StarnesSome have likened the drab, gray, dystopian obelisk to a guard tower at a North Korean prison camp.
Others have said it bears a striking resemblance to a Death Star.
- It is also the most expensive presidential library in history.
- The original budget was $330 million but Fox News reports the final price tag could exceed $1 billion....

Must read! This is the caliber of those ruining that city!-----Muskegon Heights councilman explains why he voted to fire the interim city manager - mlive.com
The city has not done tax compliance – collecting on unpaid taxes – in nearly a decade, Merriweather said during the meeting. - Kayla Tucker| ktucker@mlive.comThe city has been without a city manager since January 2023, appointing interims since not renewing the contract of former City Manager Troy Bell...
- “The state’s not going take us coming in the front door - they’re already in the building,” William Kitchen said. “The door was open for them. So, yeah, I blocked it along with many of my colleagues, because we understand the ramifications that that bring(s).”
- The city has not done tax compliance – collecting on unpaid taxes – in nearly a decade, Merriweather said during the meeting.
- It was proposed that the city would pay $255,000 annually for the state to do its income tax administration, processing, auditing, compliance and collections.
“She opened the door to bring the state treasury to co-op or to absorb into our income tax department,” Kitchen said.
“Are we struggling in our income tax department? Absolutely. Can we do a better job? Absolutely. And we will. But when I asked the state, ‘If y’all came in and did that, and in three or four years we felt like we were in a better position to run things ourselves, could we do that?’They specifically told me: ‘No, we’re here for 10 years, no matter what.’

Such is the shocking scope and speed of the latest amendment to the country's Online Safety Act. Just last week, embattled and unpopular Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced content detection and blocking would only be turned by age verification check, a process that in practice requires universal ID submission and/or face scanning in order to use your phone in an ordinary fashion.
California 'decriminalized' voter fraud, charges top federal prosecutor * WorldNetDaily * by Mehek Cooke, The Daily Signal
California 'decriminalized' voter fraud, charges top federal prosecutor * WorldNetDaily * by Mehek Cooke, The Daily Signal:
"California has basically what I will call decriminalized voter fraud, or a lot of things that people consider voter fraud," Essayli said. "The states have a lot of leeway as to how they want to run elections, and so California has just taken off all the safeguards that most states have to reassure the public that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote and casting ballots in an election."
Is the answer simply, they hate Trump because he loves America AND Americans?-----The Left's UFC Meltdown Was Never About Dignity
The Cage Was Temporary. The Class Contempt Was Permanent. - Alexander MuseThe people who spent a decade teaching us that drag shows, campus encampments, corporate pride rituals, and celebrity galas represent the highest expressions of American civic life suddenly rediscovered the word “dignity” when President Trump hosted UFC at the White House.
Their complaints sounded serious for roughly five minutes.
Then the facts arrived, and the complaints did not survive contact with them.
- UFC paid the central production cost.
- A federal judge refused to block the event.
- The public had real access through a free lottery at the Ellipse.
- The enormous structure that critics treated as a monument to vulgarity was temporary, and it came down the next morning.
So the question worth asking is not whether the event was corrupt, illegal, or desecrating, since it plainly was none of those things.
- The question is why the anger continued long after every factual basis for it had collapsed.
Consider a familiar pattern...
Gotta read this. Libs are brain-wired differently from the rest of us!-----I moved to New York to pay more in taxes—and I’m glad I did
The reason this statement rang my bells is that I moved to New York almost three years ago, and taxes were a big reason why. - Monica Potts
My then partner—now husband—and I decided to move here from Arkansas.
- That’s right: We wanted to pay more taxes.
- And I’ll tell you why.
It is true that New York and California have some of the highest income tax rates and estimated share of personal income residents pay in all taxes when property, sales, and local taxes are taken into account...
- How do we measure the effectiveness of the government?
- These are the questions I found myself asking...
