This will just be another indication that England has fallen.

As if we needed more proof.  Seriously, does anybody in the known Universe think the UK would lift even a pinky finger if Argentina waltzed into the Falklands today?  We actually have an Aircraft Carrier on maneuvers in Argentina right now and we aren't going to stop Argentina!

In the history of the world, who has surrendered during a ceasefire? There's no incentive to surrender under those conditions.
Oh, I dunno.  A ceasefire means neither side is fighting but messaging before it can be pretty dramatic and cause one side to surrender nevertheless.

Genghis Khan captured Nishapur and murdered 100,000 men, women and children, even animals, and stacked their heads into several mountain of skulls.  Several cities afterwards chose not to fight and surrendered to Khan's armies.

BTW, Nishapur was part of Persia not too far from Tehran, and comprised of Muslims.  Ironic, eh?

NEW: The U.S. has burned through so many munitions in Iran that some administration officials increasingly assess that America couldn’t fully execute contingency plans to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion if it occurred in the near term, U.S. officials said.

🇮🇷Iran is now threatening to use its other leverage over the Gulf Arab states in Hormuz - undersea cables providing internet connectivity and electricity.

This comes straight from Russia’s sabotage playbook in the Baltic Sea which it has been using for at least a decade against 🇸🇪Sweden, 🇫🇮Finland, 🇪🇪Estonia, 🇱🇻Latvia, 🇱🇹Lithuania, 🇵🇱Poland and 🇩🇪Germany. A simple fishing vessel with a loose anchor dragged on the seabed can do damage to undersea cables worth millions, and can take up to a year to repair.

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: Donald Trump says NO, his team is NOT wasting time meeting with unserious Iranians in Pakistan this weekend

RIGHT before Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were preparing to board the plane, 47 said — you’re staying here. IRAN CAN CALL US!

TRUMP TO FOX: “We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing!”

🔥🔥🔥

You can tell he’s done letting them play the delay game.

Act like they’re serious, then blow up negotiations again.

Bombs could drop soon. Our military is STILL reloaded in the region!

About time!


Trump cancels Witkoff, Kushner trip to Pakistan for US-Iran talks

President Donald Trump told Fox News’ White House correspondent Aishah Hasnie on Saturday that U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will no longer be heading to Pakistan for talks with Iran.

Trump said it’s not worth the U.S. delegation making the 18-hour flight to Pakistan when the U.S. holds all the cards in the conflict with Iran.

He added that the Iranians can call the U.S. at any time they want.

"I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing’," Trump said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reportedly already left Islamabad, Pakistan, following talks there Saturday with the country's prime minister.

Iran's foreign minister says he's 'yet to see if the US is truly serious about diplomacy'

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Saturday that he has "yet to see if the U.S. is truly serious about diplomacy"

Araghchi made the remark on X after visiting Islamabad, Pakistan, for a meeting with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

"Very fruitful visit to Pakistan, whose good offices and brotherly efforts to bring back peace to our region we very much value," Araghchi said. "Shared Iran's position concerning workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran."

Sharif, in his own statement, said he "had a most warm, cordial exchange of views on the current regional situation" in the Middle East during the meeting with Araghchi.

Ok ... so if there aren't going to be any talks because the U.S. has all the cards and the talks are unproductive, then this only again extends the unsuccessful ceasefire. Then the U.S. needs to play all those cards negating the need for further action in Iran and we can exit.

Further, if the talks have been unproductive -- then send Kushner on his merry way.

Yeah..that's what I have been saying..


Kudlow: We Should Get ‘Unconditional Surrender’ from Iran, ‘We Have Won the War’

Ian Hanchett 25 Apr 2026

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” host Larry Kudlow argued that Iran has to give in to what the U.S. wants, arguing, “We have won the war. They’re going bankrupt. They’re starving. And they’re all gruesome, Nazi-like monsters. To me, it’s unconditional surrender.” And “I think it’s set up for a revolution. The civilian population is ready to go. And I just want the U.S. to keep all these pressure points from the blockade right on continuing.”

Kudlow said, [relevant remarks begin around 3:35] “Iran has to [accede] to American demands and requirements, does it not? There’s — I don’t know what — there’s no running room here. We have won the war. They’re going bankrupt. They’re starving. And they’re all gruesome, Nazi-like monsters. To me, it’s unconditional surrender.”

He added, “They’re running out of gasoline, which is a killer, right? Societies that run out of — or modern societies that run out of gasoline, Sen. Hagerty, usually, fireworks occur. I think it’s set up for a revolution. The civilian population is ready to go. And I just want the U.S. to keep all these pressure points from the blockade right on continuing. Keep those pressure points on.”

That's irrational...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If anyone is delusional, it is you.

You have no idea of what is going on behind the scenes.

To think otherwise is fool.

Well, behind the scenes is just more delusion - to think other wise is another delusion.

No problem!  Didn't O'Bastard say we can "absorb" a couple of nukes?  Too bad Shitcago isn't a likely target...besides, it would be on Trump's watch and you could blame 47 for it.  Win-win!

Oh but it was mentioned in one Iranian diatribe some years back. It would be a whole lot of people pointing to 47 and his vacillating position.

Oh, I dunno.  A ceasefire means neither side is fighting but messaging before it can be pretty dramatic and cause one side to surrender nevertheless.

Genghis Khan captured Nishapur and murdered 100,000 men, women and children, even animals, and stacked their heads into several mountain of skulls.  Several cities afterwards chose not to fight and surrendered to Khan's armies.

BTW, Nishapur was part of Persia not too far from Tehran, and comprised of Muslims.  Ironic, eh?

Looks horrible to me what ever the stuff is on that plate. Apple, cherry, peach, berry are great - the rest suck.

It looks like a whipped cream topping to me as well.  Easy recipe -- chocolate Oreo crust, chocolate Jello pudding or homemade chocolate pudding and whipped cream with chocolate shavings.

You don't like cream pies -- I get it, I prefer fruit pies as well. Strawberry Rhubarb and Apple Raspberry are my favorites.
