The fragile ceasefire brokered on 8 April between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran expires in less than 24 hours. What was intended as a two-week window for serious diplomacy has instead become a stress test that Tehran is deliberately failing. The regime has breached the terms of the agreement on multiple occasions since its signing. President Trump has publicly confirmed that Iran violated the ceasefire numerous times, and the operational reporting supports that assessment without qualification.
A United States delegation is en route to Islamabad for the next round of negotiations. Vice President J.D. Vance is expected to depart for Pakistan today to reinforce the American position at the highest level of the executive branch.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is pressing both sides to extend the ceasefire and is hosting the talks as a mediator working to keep diplomacy alive.
Iran is not at the table. Iranian officials have not confirmed their participation in today's session and have provided no indication that a delegation is inbound to Islamabad.
An empty chair on the Iranian side of the table, less than 24 hours before the ceasefire expires, is a deliberate signal of bad faith.
Tehran is treating this moment as a contest of endurance rather than a genuine diplomatic opening.
Regional intelligence sources assess that the regime believes it can outlast American patience, exploit the mediation process for time and international legitimacy, and walk away with concessions it has not earned through negotiation.
The pattern is familiar to anyone who has watched this regime operate for the last four decades.
They stall, they violate, they deny, and then they repeat the cycle.
The seven weeks of conflict that preceded the 8 April agreement included kinetic exchanges and mounting pressure on the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint critical to global energy security.
None of the underlying drivers of that conflict has been resolved. The odds of a lasting peace are fading with every hour that Iran continues to stall, evade, and refuse to show up.
Peace is not produced by hope or by press conferences. Peace is produced by strength, by verification, and by consequences that the other side finds credible.
The Iranian regime has demonstrated, once again, that its behavior will not change until it is forced to change. Until that shift occurs, a durable agreement is not within reach.
President Trump has made clear that the United States will not be played. If Tehran mistakes patience for weakness, the regime will learn the difference the hard way.
I will lock arms with anyone who stands up for the United States of America and the Liberties we have fought for and many have sacrificed their lives for.
We are the plan.
America’s non negotiables:
1. Call out Covid for what it was (a crime against humanity).
2. We will always protect our children.
3. Election integrity is mandatory.
4. Sovereignty must be protected at all costs.
5. Not Anti-War, just Anti-Stupid War.
6. Demand accountability.
7. Stop using our tax money to fund all forms of corruption.
8. Recognize that this is a spiritual battle between globalism and American Christian principles.
9. Sharia Law is not compatible with Constitutional Law.
10. American Patriots will never quit.
Local action = National impact
I can respect Tucker Carlson’s 10-point proposal, but may suggest increased strength in a few areas.
Honest, Optimistic, Wise, and United are a bit vague.
I would adjust these to:
Demand accountability, Demand accountability, Demand accountability…and to only unite ...
He wanted “peace in our time” but he also wanted to hold the CIA accountable.
Every American must now stand on these type of shoulders in order to preserve our future.
You can find them in your communities and churches.
In the old days, one would ring the church bells warning of an incoming storm. People from all around would understand exactly what was happening.
Right now, church bells across the country are ringing…the question is anyone listening?
I do realize some of you are listening, because we communicate with each other fairly routinely. You get it.
Despite the advent of social media allowing warning signs to be addressed, its sound must not be loud enough. Most of America doesn’t realize how far we’ve gone over to socialism. Politics as usual won’t do the trick anymore. Voting still matters, but we must seek new leaders and quickly get rid of the uniparty establishment that has brought us to our knees. Seriously, we can’t even pass VOTER ID!
History has a tendency to repeat itself. Sometimes it's the same plot with different actors or the modern arrangement of an old musical score. Those of you that are musically inclined will understand that phrase.
When I say globalists are on the march...
I just cast my ballot here in Florida.
Election Day is one of the few times when every American who shows up stands as an equal. It does not matter how rich or poor you are, what position you hold, or how powerful others believe themselves to be.
Every legal citizen gets one vote.
If you live in Florida, get out and VOTE. Make your voice heard and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same.
America’s future is decided by those who show up.
Random thoughts:
1. The war in Europe can end quickly and peacefully and must.
2. America can still gracefully exit the war in the Middle East and should.
3. A NUCLEAR exchange is still not out of the question.
4. Our national debt will never be repaid causing our economy to eventually take a nose dive.
5. Our election system and processes are still broken and corrupt and little has been done to fix them.
6. We still allow China to send ten of thousands of students to American universities to rip us off of massive amounts of intellectual property all of which is sent back to China to use against the United States.
7. We have no idea exactly how many humans have illegally entered our country and allowing any of them to stay is not helpful.
8. Our elementary and secondary public school education system is completely broken, although we spend the most money of developed nations on the planet.
9. The rise of Islamism and communism in America is a direct result of many issues however, one is the ...
Let me tell you something straight up—President Trump’s tariffs are a bold, decisive strike for America’s soul. This isn’t just about trade; it’s about taking back what’s ours—our jobs, industries, and our pride. For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.
