WORSE THAN GLOBAL WARMING: Snowball Earth’s liquid seas dipped way below freezing.

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Why Trump and Hegseth’s swagger leaves Washington’s ‘elite’ seething.

THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SHUT UP:

Obama was droning American citizens and the left didn’t bat an eye but Trump takes out one of the worst regimes in the world and they act like he stomped a kitten lmao

One of the funniest things about this whole Iran thing is all the Arab states the anti-Israel crowd so passionately defends are now on Israel’s side because Iran is run by psychos who attacked their neighbors for no reason 😂

THIS SEEMS LIKE AN OBVIOUS POINT TO ME:

I reject any allegedly right-coded ideology that requires that we allow seventh century Third World savages to murder our people and not pay for it.

There is no expiration date for righteous retribution.

If you believe that seventh century Third World savages can murder our… https://t.co/5X30hVcYif

THE LIES NEVER END FROM CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD:

Notwithstanding that the picture is from Jakarta, does the Iranian foreign minister want to post a picture of the graves of the tens of thousands of innocent Iranians that his government killed in the streets last month? https://t.co/2XrSHMtciG

Of course, those parts include New York and Washington, DC.

They didn’t want to show the Venezuelan people celebrating and waving US flags.

They don’t want to show the Iranian people celebrating and thanking Trump.

The leftist mainstream media are liars, traitors and sickening hypocrites of the highest order.

INSURANCE MARKETS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THE BOND MARKETS:

This is potentially the biggest Iran story nobody is talking about: the global insurance market may be heading toward a systemic crisis. Here’s why…

Most people don’t realize London isn’t just a financial center it’s THE center of global insurance.

LEFTIST ALWAYS MAKE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE DOING:

I THINK THEY’RE OVERUSED: Electrolyte supplements are everywhere. Who benefits from them and when?

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS?

BUT OF COURSE: Bucknell economics course catalog features several Marxist and left-wing classes, appears to have altered some course descriptions. It’s fine to teach those things, though not to propagandize them.

THE LEFT’S FAKE HISTORY:

The leader of Iran in 1953 wasn't democratically elected; there was no "coup"; and the US wasn't in charge of the (constitutional) removal of him from power. So it's fictional history. https://t.co/BzQ1pZiS9J

This is an ignorant talking point repeated by people who want to sound like they know the history. Mossedegh had dissolved the Majles, replaced the army leadership and Supreme Court and closed newspapers by the time the Shah used his constitutional authority to fire him. https://t.co/AKJDiU1nBN
