From Iran to Space X to the World Cup, it’s been a good week.
Every day, the negotiations with Iran remind me more and more of that wonderful movie Dog Day Afternoon, in which a couple of crazy guys pull a botched bank robbery, hold hostages, demand preposterous concessions to surrender the hostages, and finally, while under the impression they are being escorted to a plane that will carry them to freedom, one gets shot and the other arrested. In the matter of Iran, the hostages are the millions of Iranians being held by nutters who think that if they blow up the world, the 12th Imam, who is hiding in a well (Bi’r al-Ghayba) will return to eradicate evil and create world peace.
President Trump has been economically and strategically squeezing the loony leaders and their proxies, while destroying as much as we (and Israel) can without harming the hostage population and without keeping them destitute for decades. Some critics assert that those leaders’ promises cannot be trusted, and, at best, they are just playing for time. (Hint: Trump knows this and will not agree to anything that does not assure compliance with the agreed-upon terms. Others say he must free the hostage population. Do you imagine landing troops on the Iranian mainland is more or less likely to save them than economic pressure and a negotiated end to the mullahs’ nuclear ambitions and piratical stranglehold on the Gulf of Hormuz? When you deal with irrational people, negotiations necessarily take longer than when you have rational negotiating partners.)
In any event, the President distinguished the deal from the one President Obama had with Iran and said on Saturday that the agreement will be signed today.
My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement. The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands. At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States. We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!
The other big news this week was the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Elon Musk’s Space X, which gave the company a $2.1 trillion market cap and (on paper) made Musk the world’s first trillionaire.
Naturally, leftists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who never made a payroll or ran a business, are outraged that, as yet, they cannot strip this wealth to be distributed to their cronies or for the ongoing Democratic party graft. (He’s the only person I ever heard of who was thrown out of a commune for being lazy. And she, you may recall, lied about being an American Indian to get a slot at Harvard Law.) Musk, on the other hand, is a creator of things, things that benefit millions. He spent years being broke, trying things that went bust, and has now proved widely successful in many endeavors. He did not forget those who helped make SpaceX the world leader in its field. All employees of the company were offered the choice of stock or cash bonuses, and those who shared the risk with him are reaping the rewards.
REPORTS: 4,400+ current & former SpaceX employees (welders, cafeteria staff, techs) have become millionaires. Massive wealth spread!
Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving her post as the Director of National Intelligence within days, and on her way out, she’s declassifying a lot, with hints that there will be more to come. She links Obama to the origins of a conspiracy that set in motion events which eventually led to the raid on Mar-a-Lago, and confirms that those who ordered the raid believed evidence was hidden in Trump’s residence. Russia did not sway the 2016 election, although the Deep State and its media lapdogs bamboozled people with lies to believe otherwise.
It’s now confirmed that the raid was to capture documentary evidence that the Russiagate claims were false. They had been manufactured to defeat Trump and Obama believed that evidence was hidden in Trump’s residence.
She also revealed that, despite their repeated denials, the Obama Administration, including Dr. Fauci, had 120 gain-of-function biolabs in 30 countries, including Ukraine. Russia had claimed they did. Russian claims proved to have been true
GOING VIRAL☙ Saturday, June 13, 2026 ☙ C&C NEWS

The viral 2022 map that got a man branded a “fringe QAnon extremist” just got confirmed by the DNI — and Trump…
“After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files,” she said, “today I’m releasing new evidence of long-standing US government funding of more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries.” Before you ask — yes, all 30 countries have lax regulations, legacies of official corruption, and long histories of dependency on USAID.
It’s not just routine bio-research. “Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, in some cases to include dangerous Gain-of-Function research, with very little visibility or oversight.”
“Politicians and so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci” — I love how she modified health professionals with so-called — “and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs, and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.”
Lies and threats. That’s the sitting ODNI accusing top government officials of malfeasance. It made history. The only comparable incident I could find was Tulsi’s own July 2025 release that accused Obama’s national security team of manufacturing the Russia-collusion intelligence narrative.
Tulsi is systematically dismantling the 2016-2024 intelligence establishment narrative. Which is probably why the corporate media quietly nudged the whole story behind the break room fridge with its Birkenstocked foot.
Grand juries in Florida are still sifting through evidence and listening to witnesses. CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirms that his predecessor John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are likely to be indicted in connection with their roles in this scandal.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find indictments respecting the 2020 presidential election corruption as well.
Remigration marches and rallies have expanded beyond Northern Ireland and Great Britain to France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Poland. I don’t know how much longer the European Union, which keeps demanding more third-world migration to Europe, will continue to hold together.
Speaking of Europe, X viewers have been charmed by the accounts of various Europeans who have toured the South and other less-traveled spots in the U.S. while here for the World Cup. A young German, “Freddy,” among others, was taken with local foods like Texas Barbecue, enormous stores full of wares like rifles and even shooting ranges, and fast food, ice for drinks, free drink refills, open roads, and the enormous geographic and demographic diversity of a country mostly familiar to them in movies painting dystopian pictures of America. Rod Dreher was inspired:
“Proposal: resurrect USAID, and dedicate all its funding to sending Europeans on field trips to Buc-ee’s, Costco, and Bass Pro Shop.”
In my experience, few Europeans appreciate the sheer size and variety of the USA. They look with astonishment at the offerings in big box stores, not understanding that many people have refrigerators and freezers the size of many European flats or the sheer distance most of us travel to shop in cars, rather than on bikes or public transportation. European bien pensants have always worked to diminish the new world. In the 18th century, prominent French intellectuals believed North American animals were smaller and inferior to those in Europe. Thomas Jefferson, then our Minister to France, was, as you may recall, very tall (more than six feet), and he found the claim preposterous. He took time to compile comparative charts of mammals. After he was challenged on the matter at one dinner party in France, he responded by bringing at his own cost a massive bull moose, which he had paid to be hunted, stuffed, and shipped to Paris. In another, perhaps apocryphal account, he had guests line up by height, which he marked on the wall behind them to prove the Americans were taller.
