CUBA LIBRE? US Close to Surprise Cuba Economic Deal.
Two sources familiar with the administration’s plans told the newspaper that officials are close to announcing a deal with Havana, though the exact timing and details remain unclear.
The agreement could include easing restrictions on Americans traveling to the Cuban capital and expanding economic cooperation between the two nations.
The proposed arrangement represents an unexpected turn in U.S. strategy toward the communist island.
After the U.S. captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and cut off oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba, many analysts believed Washington might escalate pressure on Havana in pursuit of regime change.
Instead, officials appear to be exploring a strategy centered on economic leverage and negotiated concessions.
Wearers of Che t-shirts hurt most.
WELL, YEAH: Trump ‘Would Back’ the Killing of Iran’s New Leader if He Doesn’t Agree to US Demands.
On Sunday, Iran’s Assembly of Experts named Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader of Iran. He succeeds his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed last weekend in the U.S. and Israel’s joint strikes. Mojtaba’s selection has been characterized as a continuation of the regime that the U.S. has sought to eliminate.
Trump told the New York Post in a Monday interview that he was “not happy” with the pick.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the president “would back” the killing of Mojtaba if he, like his father, refused America’s demands. Chief among them is the end of Iran’s development of nuclear arms.
The report also added that Israel would “likely” carry out the targeted strike if a decision is made to eliminate Mojtaba.
Despite his new — and temporary? — title, I’m not sure Mojtaba actually enjoys any real authority. The IRGC seems to do as they like, no matter who is nominally in charge.
Speaking of temporary: Iran Confirms New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ‘Is Wounded.’
For all anyone knows, “wounded” is just regime propaganda for “dead.”
COMMIES LIE:

Step 2: Cenk Uygur doubles down and reposts it.

FADS END: Bye-bye bisexual women: Young adults move away from LGBT identities. “By far, the biggest change is in young women calling themselves bisexual. In 2015, 8 percent of young women were bisexual. That soared to 23 percent in 2022, and fell by 18 percent in 2025. This could be a culture shift, writes Twenge.”
HEADLINES FROM 1972: Air Force test launches Minuteman III with multiple reentry vehicles. “Designated GT 255, the launch was scheduled years in advance and was not in response to current world events, according to an official AFGSC release.”
New START is dead and China is in the midst of a “strategic breakout” with its nuclear forces. Keeping our Minutemen limited to one warhead each is dangerously foolish.
TRADE WAR: Who in China Can Still Afford to Buy Our Stuff? “Chinese consumers aren’t exactly in a buying mood, and Chinese producers seem to be caught in a price-cutting battle for market share both at home and abroad.”
HEH:
To avoid confusion I am now calling Mojtaba "Khamini-me".
Hope it catches on. pic.twitter.com/O57tB15hQm

JOHN HINDERAKER: Lies, Damned Lies, and Journalism. “So the Tomahawk didn’t hit the school, it hit the naval base. And the video indicates that at that point, the school had already been struck. By what? We don’t know, but the one thing we know for sure is that it wasn’t the Tomahawk. My guess is that the military investigation will conclude that the school was struck by an errant Iranian missile, but by that time the left-wing press will have firmly implanted the assumption that it was ours.”
The Western press happily carries water for the mullahs. You cannot despise them enough.
BATTLESWARM: Iran Strikes Day 9. “Back before American journalists became self-licking ice cream cones, war reporting used to include maps, unit movements, logistics, combat reports from journalists embedded with U.S. units, etc. The BBC still seems to do a little of that, but I’m not seeing that from American outlets, maybe because it’s hard work. They don’t even seem to be bothering to tell ChatGPT to do it for them. Hence these roundups to fill the gap.”
POSTMODERN FEMINISTS ONLY SUPPORT WOMEN WITH NEUROTIC DELUSIONS OF OPPRESSION, OR “WOMEN” WITH A Y CHROMOSOME:
Where is noted women’s rights activist Megan Rapinoe on the Iranian women’s soccer story? She’s all in on “chicks” with dicks being heroes of women’s soccer, you’d think she could find time to speak out on the Iranian soccer women and the danger they are facing.

MATT TAIBBI EXCLUSIVE: The FBI’s Secret Stash Finally Uncovered.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation task force has begun excavating the separate set of books FBI keeps using an inaccessible “prohibited access” file designation, according to multiple government sources. Though an internal fight over how to handle the files continues, embattled FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned personnel to examine decades of hidden history, Racket News has learned, with some files already turned over to Congress.
“This is it — the deep state,” one of the sources said.
Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, whose work with whistleblowers and pressure across years was key to prying prohibited access files loose, expressed cautious optimism.
“If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using ‘Prohibited Access’ files for some investigations would have remained in the dark,” he said. “I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some, but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging – which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do – so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous.”
Needless to say, read the whole thing.
