KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: We Never Want to Hear ‘House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries.’ “One thing is fairly certain, however. If the Republicans don’t manage to pass the SAVE America Act, it won’t be long before the Democrats get their one-party rule fantasy and we’re all wearing Pride flag gulag jumpsuits.”

SKIN IN THE GAME: Trump, Bessent Say China May Help Reopen Strait of Hormuz.
Bessent, speaking to CNBC from Beijing, said reopening the waterway is “very much” in China’s interest and predicted Beijing would work “behind the scenes” to influence Iranian leaders. Reuters reported Bessent said, “I think they’re going to do what they can” to help reopen the strait.
Trump, in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, said Chinese President Xi Jinping “would love to be a help” and wants to see the strategically vital shipping lane reopened.
But China itself has not publicly committed to any concrete intervention or mediation effort aimed specifically at forcing Iran to reopen the strait.
Instead, Beijing has issued broader diplomatic statements calling for stability, restraint and the preservation of commercial shipping routes.
Iran is a global pariah and China wants to be a global player.
Maybe Beijing can and will help promote freedom of navigation in an internationally responsible way.
Or maybe inviting PLAN in to help will turn out to be a big mistake.

The America-hating Left is not attacking Tucker, Megyn, Fuentes, or Candace. They’re attacking Ben.

You know America’s enemies are thinking about it after watching the near success of Mr. Call of Duty. Pros wouldn’t be livestreaming or hesitating. They’d roll up on that checkpoint locked and loaded with suppressed rifles, plate carriers, comms, and a plan honed from hard experience in real war zones.”

Kestrel’s land is scarred in ways its inhabitants cannot begin to understand, built on long-poisoned earth and menaced by twisted plants and animals. Farmers, hunters, and magic-users fight a long battle to create safe havens and reclaim lost ground, but their casualties mount over generations. Kestrel knows little and cares less about the patterns that shape her world. She’s a shapechanger and healer who has spent the handful of years since reaching womanhood cleansing the wildlife of her blighted land with medicine and magic. Sure of her place and confident in her skills, she takes care of her own and doesn’t poke at things that don’t concern her. But when she returns from a routine journey with her brother to find her home ransacked and empty, Kestrel must gather her remaining family and search for new allies before old magic and older hatred rob her kin of their freedom, their lives, and possibly their souls.
