Iranian state media says a U.S. missile strike on an Iranian Army barracks in Bampur killed 7 soldiers and wounded several others.

Zelensky:

Putin may take certain escalatory steps after the elections.

This could be an increase in mobilization.

Zelensky:

I would not want us to lose America, in one form or another, in these negotiations.

I believe that this war is a priority for Europe, because the war is in Europe, and Europe is providing a great deal of assistance.

But when we talk about security guarantees for the future, we are talking about America.

Zelensky:

We expect to have the technical capability to produce our own missiles, as well as American missiles, using our own team by the end of 2026.

Iran sent Vice President JD Vance a private message accusing Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff of exploiting inside knowledge from U.S.-Iran negotiations for financial gain and leaking information, according to an anonymous Iranian official.

The Trump administration flatly denied that any such message was received and rejected the allegations as false.

Trump:

One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers. They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built.

Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State.

These Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD!

New York State has made a terrible decision. All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs.

They must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community.

Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them.

New York should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY. The Radical Left Dumocrats must not be allowed to cause us to lose Data Centers, AI, and all of this incredible new Technology, to China, and other countries!

Trump:

Amy Klobuchar, the lightly respected Senator from Minnesota, is running for Governor to take the place of the current Corrupt and Incompetent Tim Walz.

I have gotten to know Klobuchar over the years, and find her to be equally as incompetent as Walz, and probably equally as corrupt in that, as a high Government Official from Minnesota, she knew everything that was going on.

If the Elections in Minnesota weren’t RIGGED, any Republican could win, but they were, and that is why nobody has won there since Richard Nixon many years ago.

I thought I won it all three times, only to be disappointed in the end.

Vote for Mike Lindell for Governor, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and forget about these Corrupt Dumocrats like Amy Klobuchar.

MAKE MINNESOTA GREAT AGAIN!

Iran's Ghalibaf:

We have never welcomed war, nor do we welcome it now, but we must always be prepared for battle and stand firm to protect our national security and interests.

We must also use diplomacy and negotiation to achieve and solidify our national interests.

Iran's Ghalibaf:

Are we seeking war? Will the war and the shadow of war end?

Can we achieve our goals through negotiation?

What is the point of negotiating with a deceitful America?

Iran's Ghalibaf:

America seeks to strike at Iran and advance its interests at any time it can, and this is not limited to war, negotiation, or just the current U.S. president.

Our approach, whether in war or negotiation, must be based on national interests and security, realistic, and long-term.

Therefore, we have no choice but to rely on our own capabilities and become stronger.

Arab leaders have been telling President Trump that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an obstacle to regional peace, a message that is said to be influencing his views.

Trump has recently avoided explicitly backing Netanyahu, though he still calls him a strong wartime leader.

JD Vance:

Epstein clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence.

Epstein seemed to be connected to the elements of the Israeli deep state that were left of center. I've always found that fascinating.

It wasn't like he was super connected to the right of center of Israeli politics.
