🚨 BREAKING: In a devastating blow to the Seditious Democrats, Sen. Tom Cotton just personally asked the GENERALS if President Trump has ever issued an "illegal order" that must be disobeyed

"Have you ever received an illegal order?"

GEN. DONOVAN: "No, senator."

COTTON: "General Rudd...have you received an illegal order?"

GEN. RUDD: "No, senator."

For the sake of argument, assume Trump is persuaded not to strike the Iranian regime. Protesters stay home out of fear of being shot, arrested, or executed. The streets quiet down.

Does life return to normal?

Even setting aside the killings, the Iranian regime has no exit from economic collapse. The country is trapped in a structural death spiral that is self reinforcing and largely immune to short term fixes.

The fundamentals are broken. Years of U.S. sanctions, now intensified under Trump with 25% tariffs on countries trading with Iran, combined with corruption, mismanagement, and oil dependence have hollowed out the economy. Inflation is running above 40%, food prices have jumped more than 70% in a year, and the rial has collapsed to roughly 1.45 million to the dollar. The World Bank expects continued contraction through 2026, with no rebound without major sanctions relief, which is not coming under maximum pressure.

Daily life is deteriorating. Power outages, water shortages, unemployment, and collapsing public services have turned economic hardship into a survival crisis. The regime’s responses are cosmetic. A $7 monthly allowance for a population of 80 million and reshuffling central bank officials do nothing in a system drained by corruption. Internet shutdowns meant to suppress protests are backfiring economically, costing over $1.5 million per hour and keeping businesses closed in major cities.

Even if fear suppresses protests temporarily, nothing fundamental improves. Foreign investment does not return. The budget deficit, already above 6% of GDP, remains. Capital flight and brain drain accelerate. The result is not stability but stagnation.

Politically, repression only deepens the rot. Protests that began over prices have evolved into open rejection of the regime. Turnout is collapsing. Infrastructure is being attacked. In a scenario where people retreat indoors, Iran risks becoming a zombie state with shortages, zero growth, and permanent resentment waiting for the next spark, whether a fuel hike, a blackout, or another currency crash.

Normalcy would require structural reform, sanctions relief, or a leadership overhaul. None are on the table.

The regime may survive through fear, but the economy ensures normal life is a fantasy. Avoiding a U.S. strike would not solve Iran’s crisis. It would only stretch the suffering over a longer, slower collapse.

NOW - Press Secretary Leavitt says the Democrat Party's demeaning of ICE, by referring to them as Nazis and the Gestapo, "is absolutely leading to the violence we're seeing in the streets," and showing CNN's headline says "The media is absolutely complicit in this violence."

The reason Trump isn't going to be swayed by a predictable dip in the polls, mainly fueled by the legacy fake news media pouring non-stop gasoline on the fire to accomplish as much, is simple. He knows how this ends.

And becuase he's well aware of what's going to come out as this unfolds, there is zero doubt his approval rating will not only recover, but go sky high as the nation comes to realize the true depth and breadth of the corruption embedded at all levels of our governments (state and federal).

In effect, Trump has the will to do what needs to be done because it's up to him (bigger picture than just what's happening in MN currently) to save the Republic, polls taken in the heat of the moment be damned.

I have zero doubt that history will regard him with great reverence for having done so.

I don't think many understood the gravity of what Trump was foreshadowing when he posted this just under a year ago.

He knew what was going to happen and was flat-out telling everyone ahead of time what he was going to do about it and why.

As for those of you who don't yet understand why he has to do what he's doing, you will.

👉 Everyone will.

NEW: A family member of Lance Twiggs, the transgender lover of Charlie Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson, confirms authorities “100 percent” have the right person in custody.

She describes both as highly intelligent but antisocial, immersed in Discord groups rather than reality, and notes Twiggs initially received FBI protection due to threats but no longer does.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The Trump admin is creating a database of ALL leftist insurrectionists attacking ICE and will be broadcasting their name and face

They’re also gonna contact employers

TOM HOMAN: “We’re gonna MAKE ‘EM FAMOUS!” 🔥🔥 https://x.com/Acyn/status/2011955449327931431/video/1

“We're going to let their employers and their neighborhoods and their schools know who these people are. I bet you a lot of their employers don’t know what they are doing!”

I LOVE THIS IDEA!

FBI Director Kash Patel joined John Solomon and discussed accountability and restoring the rule of law in America.

“In terms of leaking classified information, these are a top priority for his administration and this FBI. And the way that you get bad actors back in line or actually have people stop leaking classified info, is you go out there and make arrests!

Even to high-level former national security officials like John Bolton… He leaked classified information as is alleged in the indictment…

We are going to find these people and publicize them where appropriate, and we’re gonna continue to investigate and make arrests.

But in terms of how do you stop it? You have to have accountability…”

People think nothing is happening, but they keep telling you it’s coming.

No leaks from our side.

NEW🔥: The DOJ has declared the 1927 ban on mailing concealable firearms like pistols and revolvers through USPS unconstitutional, upholding Second Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens to ship protected arms.

Ban on undetectable guns remains, with ammo/gunpowder limits for safety.
