A funny thing happened on the Iranian President's way to the U.N...
But before we get to President Donald Trump's newest and latest and most magnificent troll, please let me take a moment to remind you of just how high he set the bar for himself.
Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Tex.) told the story to Sage Steele on a video podcast way back in 2024.
"I want to leave Afghanistan," Trump is supposed to have said at a high-level meeting with the Taliban during his first administration. "But it's going to be a conditions-based withdrawal," unlike the rushed and bloody mess that Presidentish Joe Biden put us and the Afghans through in 2021. Hunt recalled Trump saying, "If you harm a hair on a single American, I'm going to kill you."
After the translator did his bit — and Hunt indicated that the translator was shocked by Trump's statement and hesitated before passing it along — Trump pulled a picture of the Taliban leader's home out of his pocket, handed it to him, and then left. While Hunt didn't say, there's no doubt in my mind that the photo was unmistakably taken by a Hellfire missile-carrying Reaper drone.
Statement. Made.
And thus the bar for international trolling was set at an Olympic-level height.
Flash forward to right now, when the United Nations holds its annual General Assembly High-level Week in New York City.
Honestly, I hate these things. It's bad enough that the UN has long served as a Western-funded playground for Second World thugs and Third World s***holes, where the topic of discussion usually centers on how evil the First World is and why we won't give them more money. But the worst part is the quality of people involved — preening bureaucrats playing bigwigs on our dime.....

He eventually gets to it.
“”Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — another master of the international troll — “announced that starting Weds, any country providing fuel to any Iranian airlines will be heavily sanctioned,” according to Tardio.
“For those of you wondering, that’s the same day the Iranian President is scheduled to speak in NYC. GOOD LUCK making it home!”
Now we know Trump was bluffing.

Well, Carney is apparently at the UN this week. I bet before he started travelling, he hadn’t yet heard that PDJT cut a deal with Denmark regarding Greenland, that Mexico has more or less finalized their trade deal with the U.S..... and that a ‘massive deal’ had been struck with Belarus for potash so that the U.S. didn’t need Canadian potash.
It would seem that this is gearing up for a trolling event to outdo all previous ones... is PDJT going to tell Carney that “oh by the way, I just cancelled the USMCA” when they bump into each other there?
“The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our Farmers and Ranchers.”
“”GOOD LUCK making it home!””
Well, for goodness sake - give them enough fuel to get out of the US anyway....
Domestic Carriers:
American, United and Southwest are all cutting ‘marginal routes’ as jet fuel prices spike
American Airlines: Reducing domestic schedules and trimming lower-performing regional routes to manage a massive spike in fuel expenses.
United Airlines: Dropping select December holiday flights and planning additional network trims into early 2027.
Southwest Airlines: Slashed its planned capacity growth and warned of further daily flight reductions if high fuel prices persist.
International Carriers:
Lufthansa: Cutting 20,000 flights over a six-month period, focusing on short-haul and unprofitable routes out of Frankfurt and Munich.
KLM: Axing roughly 160 multi-daily regional European flights.
Norse Atlantic Airways: Suspended several long-haul routes, including flights to Los Angeles.
Cathay Pacific: Eliminating a portion of its scheduled flight volume to conserve fuel.
Additional Airlines: Carriers like Air Canada, Air New Zealand, and Edelweiss Air have also slowed growth or suspended select routes.
Reminder: Before February 26th, 2026 this wasn’t a problem.

If anyone is interested and hasn’t seen it, President Trumps address to the UN on September 23, 2025 is very much worth watching.
He told those vile reprobates what no one else can or ever will tell them and he did it to their evil faces.
I’m sure the corrupt and managed MSM very much likes having a reason not to broadcast his visit to this den of vipers this year.
Every General Assembly reminds me of Psalm 2 and Satan trying to divide Jerusalem:
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” - Psalm 2:1-8
Yeah, it was way better when the only problems from Iran were detention of our diplomats for 444 days, 241 Marines killed by their proxies in Beirut, bombings of our embassies in Africa, mining of a USN vessel in the Persian Gulf, truck bomb against base housing at Khobar Towers, suicide attack against the USS Cole, capture of USN small boats and sailors in international waters, attacks at their direction against US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, sponsored attacks against civilians in the region in which babies were put in ovens, and assassination plots against a US president…..all the while trying to develop nuclear weapons for the stated purpose of annihilation of the US and Israel.
But muh gas was cheaper.
It was good, I enjoyed it.

We don’t deserve him!
Wining over whining and hand wringing.
I Voted For This!
MORE ICE PLEASE!
I’m glad you watched it. I recall watching it live, the UN staff kept having ‘technical issues’ before he came out.
I wonder how they’ll try to sabotage him tomorrow. Maybe the MSM already has.
