President Trump announces “Project Freedom,” directing the U.S. Navy to escort neutral-country ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday and warning that interference will be attacked, while noting positive U.S.-Iran discussions and framing the move as a test of whether Iran’s negotiators control the IRGC. The episode argues Trump is using oil and gas to rebuild the U.S. economy and to displace London’s oil-pricing power, citing April 20 Presidential Determinations under the Defense Production Act, a National Energy Dominance Council led by Doug Burgum and Chris Wright, and rising U.S. production driving lower prices, a manufacturing revival, and a shrinking trade deficit. It contrasts this with post-1971 “petrodollar” strategy, OPEC shocks, “controlled disintegration,” and Iran-related destabilization, and claims modern media propaganda—from Lippmann to Operation Mockingbird to recent censorship networks—drives anti-Trump narratives.

… dozens of subsidiary businesses, creating a landscape that leaves many of our cattle producers with limited marketing options.

For some ranchers this means less marketing opportunities, complicating an already challenging marketplace.

We must work to address this to protect our ranchers and consumers.

@POTUS and this administration are focused on promoting fairness and competition — ensuring our producers have options and a level playing field. 🇺🇸🥩

Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission! We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning.

I Didn’t Take His Call

Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early in the morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK. No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn’t make such a call, why would I do that? He called me, but I didn’t take his call — He just confirmed that to me when he called again. I would say that’s very dishonest reporting. He’s trying to make himself look important but, I’m not surprised, because it comes from ABC Fake News!

The Ultimate Fighter

… overwhelmed his body, requiring mechanical ventilation to maintain adequate oxygen and stabilize his condition.

He is now breathing on his own, with his family and primary medical provider at his side.

Mayor Giuliani is the ultimate fighter—as he has demonstrated throughout his life—and he is winning this battle.

His family deeply appreciates the outpouring of love and support. The mayor believes in the power of prayer, and we are feeling that strength today.

He remains in critical but stable condition. Please keep the prayers coming.

The Strait of Homuz, 4 May 2026

… U.S. Forces sank six Iranian small boats near the Strait of Hormuz amid President Donald Trump's "Project Freedom" on Monday.

U.S. Central Command announced the engagement in a press call with reporters, saying Iran's military capability has been "dramatically degraded."

CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said on the call that Iran historically has deployed "between 20 and 40 small boats" when harassing vessels in the strait.

"Today, we saw just six, and eliminated them quickly," Cooper said.

"We have an enormous amount of capability and firepower concentrated in and around the Strait, including 864 Apache and MH 60 Seahawk helicopters used just this morning to eliminate six Iranian small boats threatening commercial shipping," he added.
