Flotsam and Jetsam - Terms of Iran MOU Released

From Cameron Arcand at TownHall, We Now Know What's Inside the Iran Agreement. “We’re not going to be taking their word for anything,” a senior U.S. official said when asked about “compliance” for Iran’s adherence to the deal, particularly when it comes to nuclear development, adding that the U.S. will “work very closely with the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA].” Driscoll at Insty, IRAN: It All Boils Down to Trusting Trump; UPDATED: MOU Released, "It seems, from what Trump and Vance are saying, as well as from what administration officials have leaked to news outlets, that the deal’s guarantee boils down to Trump’s willingness to continue bullying Iran into cutting a further deal within the next 60 days. Or more, since the deadline can be extended indefinitely at the agreement of both parties." At Althouse, "But they have a new group of leaders that I think is, uh, actually I think they're smarter. I think they're very smart. I think they're far less radicalized," says Trump at a news conference, and "This way, if it works, I take the credit. If not, I blame JD! You better be careful, JD!"

Hat Hair's John Sexton thinks Trump Was Playing Nice with Ukraine at the G7. At Althouse, "I think they think I was right. I’m sort of always right, you know, when you get down to it." ""They think I was right. They feel good. Now all of a sudden they all want to be involved." Said — it's so obvious (who talks like that?) — Trump. Quoted in "G-7 ends without rupture as allies praise Trump for ending Iran war/For the other leaders of the Group of Seven nations, success was defined as avoiding a public fight with the U.S. president" (WaPo)."

Matt Vespa at TownHall, No Way CNN Did This Regarding the Algae in the Reflecting Pool?! At Althouse, They had to know this would happen: "Trump’s $14m 'American flag blue' reflecting pool turns green with algae." "I'm reading the news in The London Times." There is some suspicion that saboteurs dumped a pile of nutrients in it to restart the algae bloom. The pool is a natural site for algae; shallow and sunlite, receiving nutrients from rain and duck shit; without heavy treatment or filtration it will always grow lots of algae. One natural solution might be to stock it with algae filtering mussels and fish, but I suspect that would require a lot of management.

Also at Althouse, "The storm comes and splits at the White House and goes around the White House and the Ellipse. The President believes that… it was divine intervention." Matt Vespa, Trump Faces Another Lawsuit From a Bunch of DC Losers Over Planned Garden of Heroes Project “It is beyond comprehension why anyone would sue over an exhibition that celebrates American greatness by highlighting some of the most pivotal figures in our nation’s history,” Katie Martin, an Interior Department spokeswoman, said in a statement. “Either these people hate America or are suffering from a severe case of [Trump Derangement Syndrome].” From Twitchy, Rumors Squashed: Knicks Confirm White House Visit as Libs Melt Down. At NYPo, Jeffrey Epstein was obsessed with trying to take down Trump before suicide, report says, just another thing shared by Epstein and the Democrat leaders. 

Althouse finds "But, without Mamaw around to guide him, JD lost his faith in God. 'With her gone, no one really cared about my faith, and soon I stopped caring too.'" "From "God, guns and 'Mamaw' — JD Vance’s memoir is part rant, part sermon/In Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, the US vice-president explains why the liberal elite pushed him into the arms of the Church — and Donald Trump" (London Times)."

Driscoll calls for POPCORN! Watch Hillary Clinton Absolutely SQUIRM When Pressed to Comment About Graham Platner. Western Lensman @WesternLensman, "Hillary zigs and zags when asked about Graham Platner: “He’s had some bumps on the road." Ok, but if you were a Mainer, would you vote for him? “I’m not a Mainer. I’m a New Yorker." **Changes subject** The Dem elite's squirming and deflecting on this guy is something else." Matt Vespa wonders Did Hakeem Jeffries Think He Was Safe on This Show? He Got Bulldozed, "watch Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) get caught completely off guard as he attempts to criticize the Trump administration for the high cost of living on Good Day New York. He wasn’t expecting this at all (via Fox News):" From the Free Bacon, Texas’s James Talarico, 37, Shares His Only Checking Account With His Mom "Talarico’s mother and adoptive father contributed $1,437.84 to his 2021 campaign to cover 'moving expenses' when he was 32."

Tironianae Z. - Ultra Verbum Vincet @Tironianae, "JUST IN: Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signs a bill handing over Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the most votes across the whole country… even if Virginians vote the other way. Insane. They rushed it through with mostly Democrat votes. The plan has 222 votes. It needs 270 to actually start working. Once it does, your vote in Virginia doesn’t matter anymore. The Founders made the Electoral College so a few big cities don’t boss the whole country. This is a sneaky Democrat power grab to cheat that. “Every vote counts the same”? Lies. Virginians are pissed off, and they should be. They got played."

David Pivtorak @TheDavidPiv, "I love how every article like this is like, "Hi, I'm a disabled, transgender anchor baby whose family's existence was drain on American taxpayers. I hate children and my sexual fetish is watching homeless drug addicts writhing in their own feces on the sidewalk so I love the status quo here in LA. Anyway, please vote for the candidate that will allow me to keep pleasuring myself to the sight of living corpses on our streets.""

Insty, ICYMI: HERE’S THE LINK TO RUPERT LOWE’S HORRIFYING BRITISH RAPE GANG REPORT. Jamie Bambrick @j_bambrick, "Here are eight essential quotes from @RupertLowe10's Rape Gang Inquiry. 1) This was a nationwide, not merely local, phenomenon. "...that this was never a series of isolated local failures. It was a coordinated, nationwide pattern of organised child sexual exploitation that repeated in town after town, city after city, from the far north to the south coast." 2) The scale was enormous, more than anyone dared to think. "The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher." 3) As has been reported, the vast majority of perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims. " In court records and official inquiries, around 87% of those convicted in these group-based child sexual exploitation (‘CSE’) cases bore distinctively Muslim names... Dr. Taj Hargey, an imam with the Oxford Islamic Congregation, believes the true proportion of gang members who are Muslims to be around 95%." 4) Vulnerable girls were targeted using a consistent method. "Organised networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men." 5) The police, and other institutions, knew what was happening and ignored it...." 

Concerned Citizen @BGatesIsaPyscho, "One of the UK Rape Gang Victims publicly spoke about her life shattering ordeal - and then British Police arrested her for it within 30 minutes and sent her to prison. It’s actually beyond comprehension." Mish @Mish_K_, ""At the police station, Kate was taken into the interview room. Before the interview began, and without Kate’s mother present, Kate was told that this was her “last chance” to say that her report was untrue. She was warned that if any part of her account could not be supported by evidence, she could and would be arrested. For an extended period of time, both officers repeatedly told her how much trouble she would be in if any detail of her statement was disproved, and that she could withdraw the allegation before the interview started with no further consequences. They also suggested that her parents would be relieved if she said the incident had not happened.""

This is after hundreds of thousands of little White girls have been groomed, terrorised, tortured, gang raped & killed by Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs. This isn’t just cruel, sick, deranged & twisted, it is EVIL. I’m so done with this shit. They are literally mocking & tormenting rape gang child victims now." S A M M Y Woodhouse @officialsammyuk, "This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs.
