France Libre = Free France

JD Vance on gas prices:

This is a temporary blip. Under the Biden administration, gas prices were high for four years.

Gas prices are higher right now, and frankly, they're not even as high as they were in certain parts of the Biden administration.

JD Vance on gas prices:

You’ve got people all over the world who focused on green energy scams, and they are hurt a lot more than we are.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei:

I received with deep sorrow the tragic news of the martyrdom of Dr. Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, along with his son and several of his colleagues.

He was a learned, wise, committed, and experienced figure who served the Islamic Republic for decades across political, security, cultural, and managerial fields.

Such acts of terror only reflect the enemies’ hostility and will strengthen the resolve of the Islamic nation. Undoubtedly, justice will be served.

I extend my sincere condolences to his family and relatives, especially Ayatollah Amoli Larijani, and pray for the elevation of their ranks.

JD Vance on Iran:

Trump is not interested in getting us in the kind of long-term quagmires that we have seen in the past years.

I know Trump, and that is not a risk with him at all.

JD Vance on Trump:

Trump likes it when people express their views, and he listens to everybody.

Whether you are the gardener at Mar-a-Lago or whether you are the Secretary of State, Trump cares about what you think about an issue.

JD Vance on Joe Kent:

Whatever your view is, when the POTUS makes a decision, it’s your job to help make that decision as effective and successful as possible.

If you are on the team and you can’t help implement the decisions of Trump’s administration, then it is a good thing for you to resign.

Tulsi Gabbard on Iran:

The only person who can determine what is or is not an imminent threat is the President.

Trump hasn’t decided whether to send U.S. troops into Iran to seize nuclear material.

The Pentagon has prepared options, but key uncertainties remain — including the location of Iran’s enriched uranium and unclear leadership inside Iran.

The U.S. believes Iran’s military is weakened, but worries it could disrupt oil shipping in the Strait of Hormuz using mines.
