Trump takes Iran’s money and exit ramps, the US gets access to 65 billion barrels of Venezuela’s crude oil, prescription prices plummet, and 270 deadly trucking schools are shut down. More winning, and it’s only Tuesday!

It was a busy weekend at the Trump White House, beginning with the renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Even Google got busy changing their official maps as Democrats—who renamed our military bases and holidays, but can’t define “woman” —had a meltdown. And while the world was distracted, the Trump administration crafted a historic oil deal, put fear into the Iranian regime, reduced drug prices, and made life in America just a little bit better.
The IRGC is Vanishing
Take away their nukes, navy, and cash, and the bloodthirsty Iranian regime is at a loss. Now take away their friends and escape routes, and they’re trapped. All the threats of “death to America” become nothing more than hot air.
Last week, President Trump ordered “Economic D-Day” to destroy the IRGC’s financial networks, and now Secretary Bessent declared there’s nowhere for the mullahs to run.
“We are tracking down the IRGC’s assets… we know where in the British Virgin Islands your accounts are… We know the $100 million houses you have around the world… We are going to freeze those and close all of that down.”
In short:
The regime’s assets will be returned to the Iranian people and the victims of terror.
This includes the families of the 17 soldiers killed and 39 wounded when an al Qaeda suicide bomber hit the USS Cole in 2000.
It also includes the families of the 241 Marines killed in their bunks during the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing.
“We’re telling people either you are with us or against us—we have more in common with the Chinese on Iran than where we disagree with them on Iran,” Bessent said.
Why this Matters: Iran attacked US forces in Jordan with missiles and drones, but the defense system defeated them and no one was hurt. The regime also continues to fire “projectiles” on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, but they’re causing only minor damage. Oil is still moving through the Strait, but at a reduced level, as Arab countries find work-around pipelines.
Secretary Bessent says that in two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be bypassed, becoming “a worthless piece of water.”
Venezuela
President Trump brokered a historic agreement with Venezuela, giving the US access to 65 billion barrels of crude oil across 17 Venezuelan oil fields. This is a significant share of Venezuela’s 300+ billion barrels, the world’s largest oil reserve.
American oil companies will have a 100-year lease at no cost to taxpayers.
They also have the right to buy 20 percent of all they produce at cost.
That includes the right of first refusal on the remaining 80 percent.
This deal more than doubles American oil reserves and will replace and reduce Canada’s influence in the oil market. About 90-95 percent of Canada’s oil is exported to the US, but Venezuela’s contribution could cut that by 40 percent.
Why this Matters: Venezuela wins, too. According to President Dulcy Rodriguez, the benefits to them are “endless.” Venezuela will receive up to $100 billion in infrastructure investment and roughly $200 billion in royalties over 25 years. Rodriguez thanked Trump and Secretary Rubio, saying this will help Venezuela become an energy powerhouse.
Trump is also working to reduce gas and diesel prices, meeting Tuesday with America’s oil refiners of all sizes to “crush the price at the pump.” Details have not yet been announced.
More Winning
The US seized $560,000 in cryptocurrency belonging to Hamas, a recognized terror organization. The State Department found a link from Antifa to Hamas, which has been providing the money for their riots, violence, and attacks done to Americans on our own soil.
Nine pharmaceutical firms have joined 17 others to offer drugs for sale to consumers and Medicaid recipients at Most Favored Nation pricing. Together, they represent 90 percent of the domestic pharmaceutical market. Americans using the TrumpRx.gov website have already saved $700 million on their prescriptions.
The Trump admin has forced the shutdown of 270 truck driving schools that were handing out licenses to illegals and people who can’t speak or read English. These schools are responsible for the deaths of more than 30 Americans killed in 17 fatal crashes last year alone. Most of the schools are in CA, TX, PA, and FL.
Drug deaths have fallen drastically under President Trump. The chart below shows data from the CDC. The biggest drop is fentanyl, from 80,000 deaths to less than 40,000.
How to Pray: Praise God for so much good news! Ask the Lord to decapitate Iran and replace the leadership with a pro-American, secular government. Pray for safety and health for Mr. Trump and his cabinet, and their families. Pray for his policies to begin producing effects that the voting public will see and benefit from.
Psalm 106:48 - Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
