As a Taxpayer, I am "Fond" of  No. 6


 Mr. Zohourian, the representative of Mashhad in the parliament, has set the conditions for negotiations.

Summary of the current axes of the Iran-US memorandum of understanding (not finalized): 1. Declaration of the end of the war, including in Lebanon, and refraining from the use of force against each other. 2. Respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity. 3. Conditioning the final agreement on a 60-day period, extendable by mutual agreement of the parties. 4. Lifting the naval blockade within 30 days and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iran's surrounding environment (surrounding environment undefined). 5. Opening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days by Iran 6. Promise of a $300 billion reconstruction program for Iran in the event of signing the final agreement 7. Termination of primary and secondary sanctions on a timeline in the event of a final agreement 8. Iran's non-development of nuclear weapons and the establishment of a mutually satisfactory framework regarding the fate of uranium reserves, enrichment, and all matters related to Iran's nuclear program in the final agreement 9. Freezing of Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the U.S. refraining from increasing sanctions during the negotiation period 10. Exemption for the sale of Iranian oil and petrochemicals and related services 11. Gradual release of Iran's frozen funds by the U.S. in the event of progress in negotiations As you can see, once again, just like the JCPOA, it's a unilateral action on Iran's part and no action from the U.S. for the next 60 days, giving them the opportunity to rebuild their oil reserves and the world's for the next round of war. Gentlemen negotiators, as usual, the U.S. does nothing real—don't come saying we were deceived and the enemy put one over on us. At that point, nothing short of sabotage will be an acceptable justification. Even though Iran's leader explicitly said not to discuss enrichment, enriched uranium, or the strait, in practice, the core of the negotiations revolves around these 3 axes.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
