President Trump criticized Candace Owens for pushing unverified conspiracy theories that Brigitte Macron was born male, calling the attack ‘despicable’. He linked to a fake Time cover, as you can see below. He called her an “extremely low IQ” individual. I think she’s actually clever, malevolently so. The ‘conservative’ influencers are now battling each other on social media. Does anyone care? President Trump used to think she was a “very smart thinker.’ However, she has changed her style and loyalties drastically once again. We were all warned she was radical left, but she claimed to have been won over by conservatives. Now, she once again serves the left and conspiracy theorists. There is zero evidence that Brigitte Macron is a trans woman. The Macrons are suing Candace after begging her to stop. I don’t see how they lose. He posted the picture I sent him on Truth Social Yah Boy did it!! pic.twitter.com/hgjLXX0WjS — 0HOUR1 (@0hour1) April 24, 2026 Carrie Prejean Boller, whose claim to fame is saying marriage is between a man and a woman, and her leaked sex tape, is ripping the president online. Others are calling him a racist for the fake Time cover where Owens looks thuggish. The left is going wild, attacking the president. No response from Candace yet. President Trump is being Trump with his responses, and I don’t like the meme, but Candace’s attacks on Brigitte have been cruel. What she has done to Erika Kirk is even worse. Having been widowed myself, I find her unforgivable. The post X Fires Up: Trump Defends Brigitte Macron, Slamming Candace Owens appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Iran International, a London-based, Saudi-funded outlet, reported that the unity campaign in Iran began with a secret letter to the Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. From the letter, it seems there aren’t factions between the IRGC and senior officials, but rather that the Ayatollah won’t let them negotiate the nuclear issue that the United States demands. President Trump called off the peace talks today, and if this secret letter is accurate, the religious ideologues won’t allow them to go further. The unity campaign began with a secret letter to Mojtaba Khamenei. Rumors in Iranian political circles suggest that senior officials have written a highly confidential letter to Mojtaba Khamenei. From what they can glean, the letter warns that Iran’s economic situation is grave, and the country cannot continue as is. They report the leadership has no choice but to negotiate seriously with the United States over the nuclear file. The author for Iran International writes: That is why the current letter matters: it suggests that some senior figures now see the nuclear standoff as another moment when ideological insistence is colliding with the limits of the state. The reported signatories included senior figures such as Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Masoud Pezeshkian, Abbas Araghchi, and Mostafa Pourmohammadi. Some officials apparently refused to sign it. One name now circulating is Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran’s former chief nuclear negotiator under Ebrahim Raisi. It was supposed to remain secret, but it was leaked by someone who did not sign. As we heard from President Trump, Iran’s leadership is fighting internally, although they deny it. The leadership says he is wrong about internal fighting. There aren’t hardliners and the moderates; they are all united. Ghalibaf, the speaker of parliament, wrote: “In Iran, there are no hardliners or moderates. We are all Iranian and revolutionary.” He added that with the “iron unity of the nation and the state” and full obedience to the Supreme Leader, Iran would make the “criminal aggressor” regret its actions. President Pezeshkian posted almost the same message: “In Iran, there are no ‘hardliners’ or ‘moderates.’ We are all Iranians and revolutionaries.” He, too, invoked unity between nation and state, obedience to the leader, and victory for Iran. Mohseni Ejei, the head of the judiciary, went further. He said the “foolish president of America” should know that “hardliner” and “moderate” are absurd and baseless terms from Western political literature. In Islamic Iran, he said, all groups and factions ultimately stand united under the orders of the Supreme Leader. The Ayatollah probably drew a red line: do not discuss the nuclear issue with the United States. However, they face an existential economic crisis. They have little time before the wells have to be capped. Reopening them is not easy or cheap and sometimes impossible. They are trying to find out if the mullahs, specifically Mojtaba, will agree to negotiate the nukes or face a catastrophe. Someone has to get Mojtaba to agree, but if Mojtaba is indeed in charge rather than the elected leadership and the IRGC, Mojtaba might not relent under any circumstances. The letter suggests it’s all up to Mojtaba. The ideologues might prefer annihilation.

Biden Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, who was forced to resign and who served on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team, resurrected a bad, unused law to sue for so-called fairness over competition. Lefties and lawyers are giddy with joy. Khan is using the Robinson-Patman Act (RPA) of 1936 to sue so-called monopolistic companies for CUTTING prices for consumers. They call it “predatory pricing” if you keep prices lower than those charged by competitors. They claim lower prices are to keep rivals from competing. A coalition called the Main Street Competition Coalition is led by a grocery store lobbyist, a Biden-era official, and trial lawyers. They want the competition stopped! Originally, the law was to protect mom-and-pop stores from competition. It was a mistake and was put in the dustbin of history, but not abolished. Khan dug it out. The litigants are seeking big payouts from big-box stores, and if they win, everyone will pay more for everything. They are banning good prices.

According to a just-released 2026 “State of the Air” survey by the American Lung Association, California has the most polluted air. The report is a product of The American Lung Association. It’s not only the air that’s polluted. Polluted Water & Poopy Streets California’s waterways are facing significant pollution challenges, particularly from toxic substances and legacy pollutants. The state has implemented various programs and initiatives to address these issues, including the Stream Pollution Trends Monitoring Program and collaborative efforts with local, regional, and federal agencies. The situation in San Francisco has been alarming, with reports of human feces on the streets becoming a significant public health issue. The Controller’s Office’s annual assessment of street cleanliness found that several neighborhoods, including Bayview, Mission District, Tenderloin, and Bernal Heights, reported higher levels of grime and debris than in 2024. The report tracked sightings of litter, dumped items, human and animal feces, and graffiti from June 2024 through June 2025. The Polluted Air Five California cities dominated the top ten list of “year-round particle pollution” and ranked high in ozone production and short-term particle pollution. Eight of the Golden State’s cities also ranked in the top 25 most-polluted cities in the nation. Bakersfield and the surrounding Delano area have remained the most polluted in terms of “year-round particle pollution,” out of 211 American metropolitan areas, according to the report. Four other California metro areas were found in the top ten for year-round particle pollution: Fresno-Hanford-Corcoran at number 4, San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad and Visalia tied at number 5, and Los Angeles-Long Beach at number 7. Other California cities on the year-round particle pollution list include the Bay Area cities of San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, tied for 13th, with El Centro rounding out the list at 21. Los Angeles again ranked first out of 226 metropolitan areas in ozone production, a dubious title it has held in 26 of the 27 years of reporting. The post Irony of Ironies!

The UAE doesn’t seem interested in having a relationship with Iran after being attacked with 2,800 missiles and drones. Anwar Gargash, the UAE president’s influential diplomatic adviser, told the World Policy Conference organized by France’s IFRI think tank near Paris on Friday that restoring #trust between the Emirates and Iran after the latter’s missile and drone campaign would take “an eternity.” This probably isn’t the only reason that the UAE won’t trust Iran. Iran has kept its neighbors in a state of terror for decades. That is why they want the U.S. bases there: to protect them from Iran. They go with the people who will provide protection. Watch: UAE President MbZ’s Advisor Anwar Gargash on Iran: You can’t be attacked with 2,800 missiles and drones then talk to me about trust. That will take ages and ages. pic.twitter.com/ComhPnA7fz — Open Source Intel (@Osint613) April 24, 2026 Democrats always cozy up to dictators like the Iranian leadership. It is a mystery as to why. The comments on this thread are interesting. It is also interesting that NATO wouldn’t help, but the Gulf states were supportive. In times of trouble, you find out who you can trust. Some of the comments: Strange reading the remarks this is about Iran bombing UAE. Does everyone have a comprehension issue ? Why do you think UAE opened their banks for a 344 million confiscation of Iran’s crypto. Others to follow.Iran has bombed every neighbor they got. No mention of hosting US bases from which many, may attacks against Iran were launched. I hope they go tits up and are thrown out by their slaves. This clearly shows UAE is gradually shifting away from US interests when it talks Trust with Iran. No doubt in 2 months we will all witness gulf states on the verge of cancelling their contracts involving US military bases in middle east! This war will resume again in 2-3 days! Can the UAE ever go back to normal business with Iran after this level of betrayal? Especially when threatening to invade the UAE… AFTER (!) calling for trust We’re way past the low IQ issue with this regime. Maybe they should get a taste of that mushroom… You got warned not to assist the Amercunts, and you didn’t listen… maybe next time. I am almost 100% sure there won’t be next given how the conflict unfolded. No it won’t dummy.
