Mein Name ist Alexandra und ich habe gofundme genutzt, indem ich einen Spendenaufruf darüber gemacht habe für eine Familie. Ich wohne in der Innenstadt von Leipzig und es hat bei uns einen ganz, ganz schlimmen Brand gegeben, Wohnungsbrand, der sich über mehrere Etagen tatsächlich ausbreitete. Wir sind so ein Mehrfamilienblock und mein Freund war derjenige, der gesagt hat: Ey, guck mal, hier gibt es ein Portal, gofundme heißt das. Dann habe ich mir das angeschaut und das war dann der Startpunkt. Also was ich jetzt natürlich erreichen konnte, die Familie hat jetzt erstmal eine Not, unterkunft. Die haben vorher wirklich auch in einem Hotel/Hostel gelebt, sind jetzt seit der letzten Woche in einer vorübergehenden Wohnung, haben jetzt aber die Chance gehabt, wirklich Kinderzimmer zu kaufen. Starte deinen Spendenaufruf noch heute in nur wenigen Minuten auf gofundme.com. gofundme.com für deinen Spendenaufruf. Dies ist eine bezahlte Anzeige von gofundme.
Donald Trump is having a meltdown this morning and he is giving more fatal directives that will certainly backfire in his face, but unfortunately also backfire in the face of everybody in the world. Donald Trump is posting that the United States will essentially now serve as mercenaries and take over the Strait of Hormuz and charge everyone a fee to transit equal to 20% of their cargo. The pirate doctrine, as it's being called. This is what Donald Trump just posted moments ago. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed right now, by the way. We've only seen a few tankers associated with Iran leave, but Donald Trump says the blockade is now on. The oil market right now is just an utter disaster. It's going well past $80 a barrel very soon, and The economy is really getting crushed by this. Here's what Donald Trump posted: The Hormuz Strait is open and will remain open with or without Iran. We are reinstating the Iranian blockade, so named because it is only stopping Iran's ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The USA will be from this point forward known as the Guardian of the Hormuz Strait, and he puts that in caps.
That's what the US will be known as, Donald Trump says, the guardian of Hormuz. What are you making, some made-for-DVD movie? This is real life. What the hell is this? He goes on to say, but as such, and as a matter of fairness, we will be reimbursed at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter. And then he posts that the US is now involved in what he refers to as a punitive expedition in Iran. He reposts that Donald Trump's action against Iran is already the third most successful punitive expedition in US history. Only exceeded by Jefferson's takedown of the Barbary pirates and his own capture of Maduro. If Trump eliminates enriched uranium, it easily jumps to first place. The hell are you talking about? The third punitive expedition? Americans just want to be able to afford groceries. Americans just want to be able to afford homes and have healthcare. Americans don't want to be dragged into your third Punitive expedition.
What the hell is this? The economy is crashing right now. Oil prices are surging right now. People can't afford anything, and this is what he's posting. Iran isn't backing down. Donald Trump doesn't control the Strait of Hormuz. If you look at the shipping data, we've been posting it. Reuters has also confirmed it. The number of oil tankers crossing the Strait of Hormuz yesterday fell to its lowest level in 2 months. As I've been repeatedly saying, we are on the verge. Now it's a matter of days, not weeks, of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve hitting a level that will trigger an emergency and a global catastrophe because there won't be crude in the strategic reserves at all. Just take a look at the shipping data. The ships aren't leaving. He's just making all of this up. Why do we have a deranged psychopath there? Who's now saying he's going to extort every ship 20%. And so here's the statement from the IRGC public relations in response: The only way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to vessel traffic is for the aggressive US military to end its intervention in the strait and respect the sovereignty of countries over their own coastal waters.
The continuation of these interventions will lead to even greater disruption affecting the global oil and gas sector. As I've always said, Donald Trump is never capable of doing a deal. He hasn't done deals his entire life. He's always broken deals, committed fraud, and then used the idea of negotiation and deal to lure people into good faith discussions where he sucker punches you in the back. So then Donald Trump went on state regime media Fox, and I guess he was supposed to talk about Lindsey Graham. Instead, he was talking about being the guardian of the strait, We're gonna keep it. We'll be the guardian. We'll be reimbursed. We're gonna get paid. We're gonna be so rich. No, we're not. We're not gonna be doing any of those things. What are you talking about? And nobody wants this. Here, play this clip.
We hit 'em very hard last night. Every time they send a drone, we hit 'em very hard. But we had a deal. What nobody knows, we had a deal. It was a done deal. And then they broke it. They always break it. We've had 10 deals with these people. And so we're just going to hit them very hard and we're going to, we're going to keep the Strait and we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the Strait. Maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the Strait. And we should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're going to be reimbursed because the other nations are very wealthy. They're on our side. And we can't be expected to do that for nothing, unlike we had for many years. You know, we, we guarded the Strait for 50 years more. And we never got paid for it. They made all the money and the United States was just, you know, not— they wouldn't. It's amazing. It's— we never made— we guarded it for nothing. And now we're going to guard it. We're going to get paid for guarding it. A lot of money.
But we just want to be reimbursed for doing all of this, for putting our people in danger. But we're really not putting people— we're really saving people.
When I say nobody wants it, I mean, I guess Netanyahu wants it. I guess the neocon war hawks want this, but the American people people don't want to be dragged into this thing. Then you have these state regime media hosts in their propaganda ways. They're like, so Donald, it does seem like Iran's back at it again, wanting to now try to once again control the Strait. What are you going to do there, Donald? And then he makes up this bizarre false story about how Iran wanted to negotiate again. You know, yesterday there was an 11 hours— they always like 11 hours— and then we had a deal, and then they came back after 11 and then they were like, no, these people are crazy. Since March, Iran has been very consistent. Okay, say what you want to say. They've been very clear that they will not give up control over the Strait of Hormuz and will fight to the death over it. They've made that point clear. They made all their other points clear while you've been saying, they're the greatest, I hate them, they're the greatest, there's a deal, there's not a deal, there's a deal, I'm going to blow up their civilization, I'm not going to blow up their civilization.
Here's what he just said on state regime media moments ago. Let's play it.
It looks like they're back at their business trying to take over the strait.
What's your response?
Well, we're taking over the strait. They have nothing. They've got nothing. So something that nobody knows. Yesterday they had an 11-hour meeting. Everything's 11 hours with these guys. You know, you can't settle a one sentence in one hour and one minute. It should be one minute. And everything was agreed to. Yesterday, and they leave the room and they call back and they say, we had to make a couple of changes. I said, changes? They got to make changes? We're not going to make changes. Always changes. They just, you know, they're professional negotiators. That's all they are. That's— I don't even call them good at it. They haven't gotten anything. They got nothing from me.
Let's face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I have to make a choice. I can either have a great night or a great next day. That is until I found PreAlcohol. ZBiotics PreAlcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. PreAlcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice the difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. Look, I won't lie, I was a bit on the fence about pre-alcohol initially, but after giving it a chance, believe me, it's the real deal. July is packed with barbecues, fireworks, lake weekends, and late nights with friends. Keep the good times rolling into the next day.
Drink pre-alcohol before you go out and wake up ready for whatever Sunday brings. Remember to head to zbiotics.com/mitis and use the code MITIS at checkout for 15% off.
And then he goes on to attack former President Obama. He says Obama was on the Iranian side. He went to their side because, you know, he is a— and it seems like Donald Trump is going to say that Obama went to their side because Trump was gonna say Obama's a Muslim and then he went to their side, or Obama is like an Iranian and went to their side. This is what the psychotic, demented president of the United States is saying right now about a former president who was actually successfully able to do a deal that got rid of Iran's nuclear program. But because Donald Trump is such a feeble, pathetic loser, he has to rip up anything that has to do with Obama and then gets us in this never-ending war where now he says that we're the guardians of the freaking strait. What the hell are you talking about, you loser? Here's what he says about Obama. Play this clip.
Obama was the worst of all because Obama actually went to their side. Obama, because, you know, he's a— well, let's not say— let's, let's not say— let's leave that for another time. He was terrible. And he allowed them— he allowed Iran to— but he gave them $1.7 billion in cash, in green cash, put in satchels in an airplane and brought to Tehran. $1.7 billion. You know what that is? Did you ever see— did you ever see $1 million in cash? This is $1.7 billion. It took up an entire Boeing 757, and they flew it to Tehran, and they gave it to people that were waiting at the plane. Can you imagine?
And so as Donald Trump now escalates the war in Iran, and as I noted earlier, a ground invasion looks more and more imminent. More and more it looks like this escalation is going to result in a wider-scale war. We're already seeing it regionally. The Trump regime is pushing through their Defense Department, which they call their Department of War, a new recruiting effort called Send Me, Send Me, Send Me, Send Me. And they say in this video, even when the mission is vague, Americans have always been saying, send me, I want to go to war. Okay, that's coming from Donald Trump, a 5-time draft dodger who claimed bone spurs, who says that our veterans are suckers and losers. Pay attention to the propaganda they're putting out. They're saying, send me, whether the mission's vague, we will die for America, we will die for Trump. That's what they're saying here. Here, show this clip.
Throughout our storied history, when soldiers said "Send me." Well equipped or poorly equipped, it didn't matter whether they were stepping into a clear mission or a vague one, whether there were clear skies or raining, was always the determined reply. Every one of them, just like you, were called to serve something greater than themselves. Send me.
And at the same time they're putting out those videos, one of the biggest neocons, Marco Rubio, is putting out videos right now. And he put out an op-ed and a video, Why We're Dismantling the International Criminal Court. And he says it's now the job of the United States to dismantle and obliterate the ICC, because the ICC prosecutes war criminals. And this is a video that Rubio released this morning. He says it's one of the, one of the biggest threats facing the American people right now. He says it's the International Criminal Court.
Why?
Because they are further getting ready to escalate their war crimes. They've already committed war crimes over and over again. They've already aided and abetted genocide. That's why they're now saying, we're attacking the ICC. Send me We'll attack the ICC. Do you see what's happening this morning? Here, play this clip.
Of our shared way of life. But today, powerful people in faraway places want to take that away from us. They believe that they should be in charge of your laws, of your country, your life. And they don't care whether or not you agree. Halfway across the world, there's an institution that calls itself the International Criminal Court. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe you haven't. But chances are you don't know the names of its judges, of its prosecutors, or its president. And you shouldn't have to. But as we speak, the ICC and its friends are waging a war against our country—not with bullets or missiles, but with statutes and compacts and the force of so-called "international law." When the ICC was born 24 years ago, they told us that it was merely a narrow backstop, a global court that would step in to prosecute only the gravest offenses, things like genocide and war crimes, and only when a nation's courts were unable to prosecute them on their own. But the truth is, it was something far more radical and extreme. It was a global tribunal staffed by unelected globalist bureaucrats who claim their power is almost unlimited.
Meanwhile, Iran's not backing down. As noted before, Iran's IRGC spokesperson's been saying things like this: We will not under any circumstance circumstances allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Not now, not ever. Also, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, the Angel of Death is just. This is regarding Lindsey Graham. For such an individual whose entire life's legacy was malice and support for aggression, nothing but a dark record will remain in the minds of people. The death of this hot-headed and sharp-tongued senator will certainly not grieve the heart of any free person. Now, as I noted already, this war is expanding regionally in ways that were very, very predictable. Uh, an Iranian, uh, plane, uh, was supposed to land in the airport in Yemen, uh, and it was blocked by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia controls the kind of official Yemeni government. Iran backs the Houthi government, and there's this kind of division of power, uh, kind of civil war, if you will, that's been going on in Yemen. You know, Saudi Arabia controls a group, uh, then there's Iran that, you know, supports the Houthis. Let me show you what it looked like as Saudi Arabia bombed the airport as this plane was about to, uh, land.
Let me show you, uh, what happened over here. Let's play this clip.
Now I do want to focus briefly on domestic issues for a moment. I'll of course cover this more today. One person has been killed in another shooting involving ICE, this time in Maine. According to Maine's House Speaker, he said the shooting occurred Monday morning at the Maine State Police, and he said the shooting occurred Monday morning rather, and it's being looked at right now. Authorities have not yet released any of the details, but there is a video right now of agents fatally shooting this individual. It's at a distance, so it's hard to see, but let me show you the video that's been released here. Play this clip. Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
