Allies Rally on Hormuz - Rutte’s Trump
Praise Blows Up Dem Talking Points
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/22/2026 9:41:52 PM
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte appeared on "Face the Nation" to talk about the Strait of Hormuz and the threats from Iran. Rutte explained that the good news was that 22 countries were coming together to make sure that the Strait of Hormuz was free. He explained they'd always gotten things achieved before, as when President Donald Trump had gotten things like the NATO allies to pay their 5 percent share, which helped to provide for greater defense. He said he was "absolutely convinced" they could do the job when it came to Iran. Most of the 22 are NATO countries. Others involved also included Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand,

rocks Texas city as residents told to

A massive explosion at a Texas crude oil refinery shot up towering plumes of dark smoke and physically shook locals’ homes before they were ordered to shelter in place Monday.
A loud boom resounded throughout the western part of Port Arthur, Texas on Monday afternoon when part of a Valero refinery exploded, local outlets reported.
Clouds of black smoke spilled out of the refinery, sparking health concerns among residents and forcing city officials to put out a shelter-in-place order for the west end.
One resident at the scene told 12News that the entire area reeked of rotten eggs — a smell commonly associated with sulfur.

Democrats are furious that President Donald Trump took action against Iran with Operation Epic Fury.
But one of the things that you wouldn't hear from them is how his action puts paid to one of their favorite fictions about Trump - the Russia collusion fiction, that Trump is somehow in the pocket of Russia. Well, he's pounding one of their principal allies, which he would not do if he were in Putin's pocket. So once again, the Democrat narrative gets blown up.
Trump said he was in talks with an Iranian leader that were productive, and for that reason, he said he held off on hitting
An Air Canada flight attendant was violently thrown from the plane that crashed into a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport on Sunday night — and was still strapped into her jump seat when she was found, sources said.
“It’s a complete miracle,” the woman’s daughter, Sarah Lépine, told Quebec outlet TVA Nouvellas.
“At the moment of impact, her seat was ejected more than a [300 feet] from the plane,” Lépine said of her flight-attendant mom, Solange Tremblay. “They found her, and she was still strapped into her seat. She had a guardian angel watching over her. It could have been much worse.” Tremblay suffered multiple injuries,
Tens of thousands of cattle have been culled in Russia, with fears that the animals were infected by a leak from a bioweapons research plant.
Thousands of animals have been killed amid furious protests from farmers in Siberia, with authorities giving differing accounts as to the reason why.
Some have cited an outbreak of ‘pasteurellosis’, which can normally be treated with antibiotics.
Disease control specialists have told farmers there was also an outbreak of ‘incurable rabies’, without citing evidence.
Farmers haven’t been shown the order from the Kremlin’s agriculture ministry,

Donald Trump just dipsey-doodled the Democrats.
Only Trump can find leverage in the Democrats' TSA defunding — turning those broke, unpaid TSA agents and the disastrously long lines at the nation's airports into a teachable, brilliant, GOTCHA moment to behold. When Democrats figure out what hit them, they'll be so tattooed with this disaster, even the leftist screechers will lead the effort to restore TSA funding.
Things will change soon because local media in the woke cities are covering the increasing freak out by leftists because Donald Trump is replacing missing, unpaid, TSA agents with paid, and perhaps even masked, ICE agents
President Trump announced Monday he is calling off strikes on Iranian power plants for five days, claiming the mullahs in Tehran are now seeking a resolution after feeling the full pressure of his threat.
The President, over the weekend, had given Iran an ultimatum—open the Strait of Hormuz, or he would order the complete obliteration of their power plants within 48 hours. With the deadline ticking down, Trump has given the battered Iranian regime a bit of an extension.
"I am pleased to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding

The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged almost 1,000 points in early trading on Monday after President Trump postponed an ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying that the U.S. is engaged in "good and productive" negotiations with Tehran.
The blue-chip index jumped 996 points, or 2.2%, to 46,573. Other indices also climbed, with the S&P 500 climbing 113 points, or 1.7% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index gaining 2%.Before Mr. Trump announced the delay on social media, futures had pointed to an almost 1% decline in stocks.

President Trump said on Monday that he has not been in contact with Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei during ongoing negotiations with the country.
“We’re dealing with a man, who I believe is the most respected and the leader,” Trump told reporters in Palm Beach, Fla. “We have not heard from the son,” he said, referring to Khamenei. “Every once in a while you’ll see a statement made [from Khamenei] but we don’t know if he’s living,” Trump said.

President Trump on Monday said U.S. strikes on Iran energy infrastructure would halt for five days after “very good” and “productive” conversations with leaders in Tehran.
In a Monday morning Truth Social post, Trump wrote in all-caps that the U.S. and Iran “over the last two days” have had “conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East. “Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed and constructive conversations,” which he said would carry on “throughout the week,” the president has “instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure

Saturday night saw Israel experience its largest casualty event since the start of the war with Iran three weeks ago, when two ballistic missiles struck residential neighborhoods in the southern cities of Arad and Dimona, injuring nearly 200 people — most of whom were not in bomb shelters at the time of impact.
Although Iran claimed to have targeted the nearby Dimona nuclear facility, it was local civilians who bore the brunt of the attack.
In Arad, 88 people were treated by Magen David Adom first responders, 10 of them seriously, including a 5-year-old girl. Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center said it treated a total of 115 people
President Donald Trump threatened to place U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at airports if Democrats don’t agree to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In a post on Truth Social, Trump explained that if Democrat lawmakers “don’t immediately sign an agreement” to fund DHS, he would place ICE agents at airports to “do Security like no one has ever seen before,” including allowing them to arrest all illegal aliens in the United States.

The family of Sheridan Gorman, the 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago freshman gunned down near the campus by an illegal alien, unleashed a blistering condemnation of anyone suggesting she somehow contributed to her own killing by being in the "wrong place at the wrong time."
The damning response comes as Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden suggested Gorman and her friends may have unintentionally startled the armed suspect.
"The kids were out doing normal things people do in the neighborhood," Hadden told Fox 32. "They may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, running into a person who had a gun."

An Air Canada flight arriving at LaGuardia Airport crashed into a rescue truck on Sunday night — leaving two pilots dead and two Port Authority cops seriously injured, according to sources.
Emergency vehicles swarmed Runway 4 at the Queens airport after a regional jet en route from Montreal struck a rescue truck responding to a separate incident just before 11:40 p.m., according to the Port Authority Police Department, the FDNY, and footage captured by the Citizen App.
Images showed the front of the commuter plane smashed and tilting in the air. Sources told The Post that the pilot and copilot aboard the crashed jet were killed.
The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.
The court heard arguments in a case from Mississippi that also could affect voters in 13 other states and the District of Columbia, which have grace periods for ballots cast by mail. An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be impacted.
A ruling is expected by late June, early enough to govern the counting of ballots in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.
The Swamp Still Looks Pretty Healthy

For nearly a decade, Americans were told that powerful institutions had been weaponized against a sitting president and his supporters. Intelligence agencies, federal law enforcement, and political operatives were accused of bending the machinery of government toward partisan ends. The promise from President Donald Trump was clear: expose it, clean it up, and drain the swamp. Now more than a year into Trump’s second term, many voters are beginning to ask a simple question: Where are the results?
Dems have been playing fast and loose with our elections for quite a while now. They keep testing every gimmick they can think of. Whatever they can do to make voting drag on longer, feel less secure, and leave more room for “funny business.” Of course the one thing they don’t want to do is the most obvious: voter ID.
Their schemes are always sold as some kind of better “access” or more “convenience,” but what they’re really doing is turning a civic act into a chaotic, messy process that Americans don’t trust.

Former President Barack Obama sparked a social-media firestorm with his post praising former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s “commitment to the rule of law” after his death Saturday.
Mueller, who died at 81 on Friday night, was the special counsel tasked with investigating allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to benefit President Trump – a claim the current administration asserts was part of a “treasonous conspiracy” orchestrated by the Obama administration to “subvert” Trump.
“Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives,”
Joe Kent Is a Loon

There are many qualities you look for in a director of the National Counterterrorism Center, but an active imagination isn’t one of them.
Joe Kent, though, has shown since his high-profile resignation that he has one, and not the kind of imagination that makes for a great Elizabethan poet or a compelling noir novelist but the sort of fevered fancy that fuels the Candace Owens podcast.
Kent says, apparently quite sincerely, that President Trump may have launched the war against Iran because he feels threatened from shadowy forces connected to Israel.
In other words, what the combined military might of Israel and the ...

There is a cognitive bias called the Dunning–Kruger effect, which -- in my opinion -- would be better called the Obama-Mamdani effect today. Dunning-Kruger describes a delusional mindset where “People with low knowledge or skill in an area tend to overestimate how competent they are.” In biblical terms, this kind of hubris is defined by Paul in Romans 12:3 as one “...think[ing] more highly of oneself than one ought.” That Scripture verse captures the essence of two popular, similar politicians who, despite having little knowledge or skill, have convinced many Americans of an expertise that simply doesn’t exist
The Wall Street Journal recently reported on the growing divide between blue and red states when it comes to income taxes. What it failed to mention is that this shows the genius of the nation’s founders.
“Republican-led states are racing each other to flatten, cut, and eliminate individual income taxes, with 23 states lowering their top income-tax rates since 2021,” Richard Rubin and Jeanne Whalen write.
And, indeed, this year, nine states – all Republican – either cut their top marginal tax rate or lowered their flat tax rate. Ohio became the 14th state to adopt a flat tax.

Megyn Kelly’s Moronic Iran Maunderings
13 replies
When President Trump ordered the attack on Iran, it was inevitable that he would receive considerable criticism from the Democrats and their mouthpieces in the corporate media. It was also to be expected that some conservatives would offer thoughtful criticisms of his decision to hit Iran. It was surprising, however, when he was denounced by various podcasters, most of whom have been stunningly naïve about Iran’s threat and why Trump had to take action. By far the most clueless of them has been Megyn Kelly.
