🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is not lifting the naval blockade on Iran, full stop. Trump told aides to prepare for an extended operation. Treasury says Iran's inflation is accelerating and oil storage has 12 to 22 days left before wells may have to shut down permanently. Iran won't talk until the blockade lifts. The blockade won't lift until Iran talks. Source: Bloomberg

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis says Trump's Middle East buildup is genuine, and the window to act is closing fast. "It's a real threat. It's not an empty threat. And it all matters to what order President Trump gives or doesn't give." Two to three weeks, then the carriers move, the aircraft leave, and the moment is gone. @DanielLDavis1

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Polymarket traders give a 36% chance the Strait of Hormuz returns to normal by May 31st. That means 64% of people betting real money think this drags well past May. t.co/VfOUdB4quC

🇮🇷 The blockade is hurting Iran, but it's far from airtight. Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis breaks down why a porous blockade is still a blockade. "Even if it's a porous block, it's still a blockade. So until we get large flows going out, everybody's going to be hurting on both sides of this." Iran is bleeding slowly, and the clock is ticking. @DanielLDavis1

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel and Lebanon are still technically under a ceasefire, but the IDF continues hitting south Lebanon. Israel says it’s preemptive: disrupting attacks before they happen. So, let me get this right: EVERYTHING is a target now? t.co/sQQyakVZlq

Kick streamer Luplupka: "I'm drunk"... on camera while driving after hitting something. Her defense: it was a joke. Maybe. But that's a weird punchline to deliver behind a wheel at night. t.co/VmnMoqpcgY

🇮🇷 If Iran keeps cornering Trump with nothing he can call a win, it becomes inevitable that the war restarts. Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis breaks down why Tehran's hardliners may be miscalculating badly. "If they walk away with that stuff, nobody can spin that into anything other than an abject humiliation for the United States, no matter what President Trump may say." The corner you back someone into may be the one you never walk out of. @DanielLDavis1

“Count to 10 starting from 11.” Tricky question. Reasoning is compulsory. Grok flips it instantly: 11, 10. Then explains why that’s the only logical move. ChatGPT 5.5: 11, 12, 13… very obedient. Grok doesn’t just follow the prompt. It understands it. Funny how reasoning changes the answer. Logically. @Grok @XFreeze

At the OpenAI trial, Elon exposed how greed drove 'Scam Altman' He told the court how he came up with the idea, the name, recruited the key people, and provided all the initial funding. "I could have started it as a for-profit and I chose not to. If we make it OK to loot a charity, the entire foundation of charitable giving in America will be destroyed."

🇺🇸 Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works and NASA are pushing the X-59 closer to its first supersonic flight. The sleek experimental jet is hitting new speeds and altitudes in latest tests, all while designed to produce a much quieter sonic boom. The American’s goal is to finally make overland supersonic travel possible without the deafening boom that’s kept it banned for decades.

🇺🇸 Starlink just made in-flight WiFi actually usable. 1 Gbps per terminal. Multi-gigabit per aircraft. Gate to gate. You know that painful experience of paying $30 for airplane WiFi that can't even load a webpage? That era is over. Source: @Starlink, @elonmusk t.co/iK4Od7eb8r

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. munitions stockpile is so depleted, continuing the war may be physically impossible. Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis breaks down what happens when Trump runs out of options. "There's no rational reason to think that the first 40 days of bombing, where you had a massive amount of stuff and you didn't force them to capitulate, that a smaller period of time is going to have the effect that the first one didn't." When the arsenal empties, the only cards left are surrender or nuclear escalation. @DanielLDavis1

🇺🇸 Nick Fuentes is upset Trump isn't arresting enough people. His target: Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and all radical leftists. Both sides have a "lock them up" problem. This is just today's version. t.co/oEAMZHW7Fl

RECAP: -Trump used the State Dinner with King Charles to declare military victory over Iran, telling the room "we have militarily defeated that particular opponent" and reaffirming Iran will never be allowed to go nuclear. -Charles responded by gently reminding everyone that American leadership rebuilt Europe and that Russia is still the aggressor in Ukraine, a quiet diplomatic poke at Trump's NATO and Moscow posture. -Treasury sanctioned 35 individuals and entities tied to Iran's "shadow banking" network and warned Chinese teapot refineries about secondary sanctions for buying Iranian crude. -The DOJ indicted Dr. David Morens, a former senior Fauci adviser, on charges of destroying and concealing COVID origin records, taking wine and Michelin meal kickbacks, and teaching colleagues how to evade FOIA requests. Fauci is referenced in the indictment as "Senior Official 1." More indictments expected. -The FCC launched an early review of Disney's ABC broadcast licenses one day after Trump called for Jimmy Kimmel's firing. The official basis is an existing DEI probe. -Iran-linked hackers leaked personal data on more than 2,000 U.S. Marines. Pentagon investigating, early indications suggest some of it is authentic. -Wheat hit a 2-year high. Gulf urea fertilizer production is down 60% since the war began. Global food inflation is loading up the next inflation wave behind the gas pump. -Maritime alert: a tanker was approached by a possible pirate group 500 nautical miles east of Mogadishu. Wooden mothership, two attack craft, turned away only when armed sentries appeared on deck. Somali piracy may be making a comeback. =Harvard/Harris poll showed Americans now prefer the Biden economy to Trump's, 52 to 48. Six months until midterms.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran is wide awake and ready: “they’ve already removed their eyelids.” Retired Lt. Col. Daniel Davis warns that Trump risks making a dumb decision in this escalating conflict. He says the least damaging outcome now is Trump simply declaring victory and walking away. That alone tells you how bad the situation has become. @DanielLDavis1

🚨 WAR UPDATE 🇮🇱 Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli said the IDF is destroying infrastructure in southern Lebanon to help “stabilize the new border line of the State of Israel.” 🇺🇸U.S. Marines boarded and searched another commercial vessel in the Arabian Sea, then released it after confirming it was not violating the blockade. 39 ships have now been redirected. 🇱🇧 Israeli forces uncovered a massive Hezbollah tunnel complex in Qantara, complete with weapons depots, living quarters, and long-term underground infrastructure. 🇮🇱 Netanyahu said Israel destroyed a major Hezbollah tunnel, vowing operations in Lebanon are “not done yet.” 🇱🇧 Israel’s Defense Minister said southern Lebanon would be reshaped to resemble Gaza, signaling a broader campaign against Hezbollah-held areas. 🇱🇧 Israeli strikes killed 8 people in southern Lebanon, including civil defense rescuers, while two Lebanese soldiers were wounded despite the truce. 🇮🇷 Conflicting assessments emerged on Iran’s condition, with reports describing IRGC committee rule, shortages, and infrastructure damage—but not total collapse. 🇵🇰 Pakistan opened six land corridors with Iran to bypass the U.S. naval blockade, with thousands of containers reportedly already moving through.

🇺🇸 Tesla just turned the Semi into a subscription. Truck, charging infrastructure, energy supply. One monthly payment. No massive upfront cost. Fleet operators have been sitting on the sidelines for years because buying EV trucks plus building out charging is brutally expensive. Alyath just killed that excuse at ACT Expo 2026. 90 days to get qualified customers up and running. Netflix did it to movies. Spotify did it to music. Tesla is doing it for trucking.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The next stage of this war might make phase one look restrained. Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski is taking Iran's threats seriously, and she's not betting on wise leadership to stop it. "If we have wise leadership, then it won't go kinetic. But that's the thing I don't bet on. I don't bet on wise leadership in the West anyway." Undersea cables, energy grids, the Strait of Mandeb. Iran has escalation options it hasn't touched yet. @karen4the6th

🇺🇸🇨🇳 America just found a massive lithium stash in the most unexpected place, the Appalachians. A new government study says the mountains hold 2.3 million tons of the battery metal, enough to power 130 million electric cars or end US imports for centuries. The US currently buys more than half its lithium from overseas while China controls most of the world’s supply. This changes the game for American EV production and national security. MiningCom

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Iran War just shifted the entire Middle East power balance. Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski says Iran doesn’t even need to fire another shot to win, because America is losing the global narrative. “The American government’s view of sovereignty is: we have our sovereignty… and we have all of yours too. We are in charge.” The world heard it loud and clear, but it’s already moving on. @karen4the6th
