Now hear this!

Storming the Capitol, assaulting police with bear spray, and smearing feces on the walls is patriotic and pardonable.

Picking up pieces of blue paint mixed with the algae in the Reflection Pond is vandalism and punishable by ten years in prison.

That is all.

There seems to be consensus that Obama got a better deal with Iran than Trump did and without a war.

All Trump accomplished was to prove to the world yet again that he’s an idiot.

U S Debt Under Trump

The National Debt is $39.3 trillion. It's increased $3.1 trillion since Trump took office in January 2025 and it increased $7.8 trillion during his first term. He's responsible for $10.9 trillion or 27% of our current outstanding debt.

The cost of the Iran War and its reparations, his ballroom, ICE warehouses, and the Reflection Pond, Trump continues to spend our money like a drunken sailor all while personally profiting off his office. Republicans can no longer claim to be the fiscal conservative party.

If the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is dependent upon Israel ceasing attacks in Lebanon, then it's now unlikely.

“For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!” wrote Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir Friday in a statement published on social media according to an automatic English translation of the Hebrew-language statement.

Update: US Iran talks in Switzerland now postponed due to fighting in Lebanon.
