This is another area Congress and a revived DOJ will focus on after the Republican Party collapse is complete.

The Upcoming Round of Peace Talks in Pakistan At the moment, the best information I have is that Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner have landed in Pakistan for another round of talks with Iran. And it is also true that Iran is sending no one to this meeting. This is going to be a PR disaster for Trump...

I'll answer. It's bad for America. This enforcement action is Trump using US military might to keep the Straight of Hormuz closed. The longer it stays closed, the longer gas prices stay high at US pumps. Also, the longer the Straight stays closed, the greater the negative, longer-term effects...

Yes, "Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship ..." Is this good or bad for America? Whatever your answer, please explain why.

Trump's War Enters its Eight Week And this war seems no closer to ending now than it the day Trump started it. Trump says he's sending people to Pakistan to negotiate. I have to ask, with who? Iran says it is sending no one. That's a long flight to talk to yourself. Why not hole up in a room in...

It Ain’t Fun Being MAGA No More Click to Hear the Song

The Trump/Iran Partnership Continues While Trump says he wants the Straight of Hormuz open, he is literally working with Iran to keep it closed. Actions speak louder than words. While Trump says one thing, he is doing something else. From his actions, we can presume that Trump actually wants...

much on the list is self-evident if you're willing to simply glimpse at the news and not rely on Trump's Truth Social posts as the single source of truth. For example, no news source -- left or right -- is reporting that the Iranian people have risen up. No news source is reporting that Iran has...

Then dismiss the list as worthless. Or fact check it yourself. Either way is fine with me.

No. I'm not going to be drawn into that game with you. If you want to quibble with the list, print a copy and have a seat in front of a mirror.

Iran War Status Update The Iranian people have not risen up to overthrow the regime. Iran remains able to and does launch attacks. Iran still has the nuclear materials Trump does not want them to have. Trump has had no say whatsoever in selecting Iran's leaders. The munitions story is...

More like a liar. It does not matter how many time Trump makes you look stupid, does it? You continue to believe, unconditionally, every word he says.

"Iran's joint military command said on Saturday that "control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces." It warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian...

This is exactly what I was talking about: "Speaker of Iran’s parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that seven recent claims that US President Donald Trump made regarding Iran “were false”, and warned that the Strait of Hormuz “will not remain open” if the US blockade of Iranian ports...

As usual, Trump is saying a lot that Iran has not confirmed. And what some Iran officials are saying does not track with the "completely open" reporting or statements now in the news. All we can do is wait a few days for the conflicting statements to resolve and see what actually happens on the...

Well, what do you know? The Straight is now said to be open. We'll see how long it takes for traffic to return to normal levels. It is important to note that Iran has not said it no longer controls the Straight. It said it has opened the Straight. Before the war, Iran did not claim to have the...

Is the Straight of Hormuz Open Yet? No? Not open yet? That's odd. Trump said he wants the straight open. He even said so on Truth Social. Why is is it still closed?

The President and the Pope A recent statewide poll indicates that Florida is becoming increasingly competitive for Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Races for governor and US senator are a statistical tie. The Democrat leads in the race for Attorney General. (Source) There are about 4.7...

Yes they did and that was an extremely rare event. Since 1900 (125 years), there have been only 3 expulsions from Congress, all House members. Santos (R) was expelled in 2023, Traficant (D) in 2002, and Myers (D) in 1980. That's not because elected officials did not commit crimes. Overall, it's...

Yes, they matter .... if they are true and rationally formed.
