There's a deal brewing that would give Iran control over shipping entering the Persian Gulf & ships leaving the Gulf will travel close to the coast of Oman. Iran & Oman will split a "service fee". This is not winning the war no matter how Trump spins this. It's capitulation!

I'm so angry at the far left of our party who are spouting goals that are too much for the majority of Americans to vote for at this time. The Green Party in FL., gave the election to George W. Bush. If Gore had won there never would have been an Iraq War. If we lose Congress, I'm blaming them!

The Iran war is depleting our missile supply because Trump's strategy is bombing Iran into submission. It's an air war. But he blames Biden's giving arms to Ukraine for the problem.Reality: Biden gave Ukraine arms for a ground war-tanks, artillery, ammunition, anti-tank Javelins, not an air war.

Funny, Blanche's declaration that limits Trump's tax amnesty to his sons & Organization isn't signed. Not that his signature means anything. Trump wants to cheat on his taxes, indeed not pay tax, with impunity. Every tax paying American should be enraged. There ought be a law! Don't count on it!

Until it became a negative for him, Sen Bernie Moreno was mum about his daughter & grandchild's alleged abuse at the hands of her husband, Max Miller,who is running to be re-elected to Congress.A House seat took precedence.Only after his callousness was criticized did Moreno speak out.What a father!

Iran is now considered a "strategic loss & an embarrassment". The US is seen as "an unpredictable instrument of global disorder." "This is confirmation that you can't trust the US". Is this who we are? No, it's who Trump is.

The GOP in the House just killed IVF for military families. Mike Johnson & other evangelicals let their personal religious beliefs take precedent. These are the same people who want women to have more babies.

The reflecting pool saga is emblematic of the Trump administration- a botched job marked by cronyism, lies, corruption and finger pointing.

Trump announced a 15 point peace plan for Gaza. The problem is neither Israel nor Hamas negotiated this deal. It could just be another Trump fantasy that comes to nothing. He has no understanding of diplomacy. He thinks if he wills it, it happens. Problem is other nations won't be bullied.

The Antwerp World Diamond Center gave Trump a diamond ring the size of a watch encrusted with 321 diamonds & dozens of other gems. Supposed to be a gift to celebrate our 250th. Voila! No tariffs on diamonds! It's supposed to go to the Nat'l Archives with an option for Trump to buy it. For what? $1?

Trump's plan to get a free pass to avoid paying taxes is to wait until Tillis & Cornyn leave the Senate. The problem is the Dems have strong candidates to replace them - Cooper & Talarico. This is reason enough for the people of NC & TX to vote for Dems-to stop Trump from legalized tax evasion.

MAGA is for free speech when they're doin' the talkin'-conspiracy theories, baseless personal attacks- it's the 1st amendment! But if they don't like what they're hearing, the tune changes. Newspapers sued, pundits off the air & now the FCC is reviewing ABC's broadcast licence. This is not America.

Trump is ending Biden's subsidies that lowered premiums for drug coverage under Medicare. AND the new cap on prescription spending is going up to $2400 next year. This is the guy who promised lower prices on DAY ONE, who says affordability is a Democratic hoax. Wake-up MAGA. You're screwed!

Even if Congress can kill the 1776 fund that compensates convicted Trump allies, settlements can still be paid. Paul Vaughn just got awarded 7 figures after being found guilty of preventing access to an abortion clinic. This is not EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW!

The war is metastasizing. Saudi fighter jets targeted Iranian militias in Iraq and Iran hit tankers in an Egyptian port. Trump has no idea how to get out of this "excursion" and listens to no one. War & tariffs are a disastrous combination for the economy and the deficit they create is crippling.

Congressional Republicans, in the spirit of RFK, have introduced 209 bills to weaken vaccination rules or to undermine trust in vaccines. MAHA my a--!

Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump have refused to comply with subpoenas to testify before Congress. Dr. Fauci complied. He appeared before a kangaroo court & respectfully exercised his 5th amendment right. Disregarding masks, recommending hydroxichloridine caused deaths not Fauci.

Trump's Transit Admin is slow walking grants for public transportation all over the country: Salt Lake City, Charleston, Columbus, Madison-the list goes on. Plus no new agreements signed since Day One. Project 2025 described transportation grants a poor use of funds. Tell that to commuters.

RFK has just made it easier for unproven synthetic peptides to come to market without approval of the FDA. Watch out for BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, semax and epitalon. They're often made in China and sold for "research". Be careful.

It took 20 months of negotiations for Obama to finalize the Iran nuclear deal. Not one shot fired. Trump tore it up.Iran proceeded to build nuclear capability. Trump 2.0 bombed Iran's nuclear stockpile and declared it obliterated. It wasn't. More bombing.And it's not over & growing worse. Quagmire.

The war is spreading to Red Sea commerce, prices are up, the unvaccinated have caused measles & flu and cuts to HHS delayed determining the source of a diarrhea outbreak. Our president & his sycophants are incompetent & corrupt. This government isn't a swamp (think the Evergades). It's a sewer.

"Effective tariff rates changed on Friday for the 45th time in the past 18 months-an average of once every 22 days." How can businesses flourish with such uncertainty? Average Americans are paying around $1100 more annually. It sure doesn't feel GREAT!

I don't understand why data centers drive up everyone's electric bills. Don't we pay for usage? Why doesn't this apply to data centers? They're using A LOT. They should pay for it. Anyone have an answer?

Trump is pitching a "red scare"-gov ownership of businesses. Dems r Commies!!! Yet, under Trump the US gov has taken a stake in 28 companies-ex: Intel, Nvidia, MP Materials. So who's the Commie? Dems want a fairer tax system (pre Reagan)& giving $ back to taxpayers in ways that benefit avg people.

Between tax cuts & war the deficit is up to $39.6 TRILLION. Bush inherited a surplus from Clinton & left with a deficit over 1000% higher because of tax cuts & war. Here we go again. Instead of raising taxes on the billionaires Trump is pushing tariffs, a tax on average Americans' purchases.

Vietnam Veterans Blvd in TN has been renamed Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway. Veterans object. There is no comparison between a guy proselitizing for conservative positions and service members who went to war for this country. 58,220 Americans died in Vietnam. They deserve our respect.

It seems Trump signed the Saudi nuclear deal without thinking it through(not a surprise), then finding out it was a big mistake, is now adding requirements. How do you sign a deal & then renege on social media? And how was this deal influenced by Trump/Kushner business with MBS in the 1st place?

Trump didn't like the Times coverage of the Qatari Air Force 1 fiasco, so sloppy subpoenas followed. Journalists & family members! targeted. Thrown out of court. It proves again if you stand up to Trump you're better off than caving. If only the GOP would learn.
