11. Partnership with Oman to staff the tollgate
Tue Apr 7, 2026, 08:43 AM
Tuesday

A commentator on Bloomberg this morning suggested that it is likely in the end that Iran and Oman will forge an agreement to split the tolls.

Trump, the brilliant businessman with the gift of deal-making has set Iran up in a new line of business.

How can the media look at this stuff and not report the obvious facts? I understand that they may be afraid to set this toddler off with direct questions, but they ought to be following their coverage with serious fact checking.

What the F are we even doing here with the billion dollars a day we are spending (probably a lot more than that now that we are ramping up ground troops)?
