    The Trump Card...

    I had to look that one up. My first response was, "Unbelievable!" But after a moment of thought, it's very believable because it comports perfectly with Trump's cognitive decline (dementia) . His sarcopenia symptoms are increasingly evident as well. The man is feeble. He can no longer get into...

    The Trump Card...

    History Repeating Itself When Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 election, he did so as the first president of the Republican Party, which had risen specifically to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the Whig Party. The Whigs had been one of the two major parties in the United States (alongside...

    Why Don't the Markets Understand? On Thursday, regarding Iran war, Trump posted on Truth Social, "Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J...

    Trump's Fuel Actions In recent weeks, Trump has taken the following actions affecting oil and gas prices: Issued emergency waiver allowing year-round sale of E15 gasoline (said to expand supply, lower price at pump) Issued emergency waiver of Jones Act (allows foreign ships to transport oil...

    The Trump Card...

    Yet the corridor remains firmly in Iranian control. That's one of the remarkable things we've learned about Iran in the last month. They anticipated and prepared for these kind of leadership deaths. They have developed a leadership system that persists even with multiple leaders killed. And not...

    The Trump Card...

    It might have been temporary earlier but Trump let the situation persist and oil facilities continue to be destroyed and the Straight remains closed. The longer it is closed, the longer it will take to get things flowing again. The war is nearly 30 days old and its end seems further away than...

    Yes, it's a fact. But in what way is it relevant today?

    Navy Escorts Now Provided in Straight of Hormuz A number of ships are now receiving navy escorts and safe passage through the Straight of Hormuz. The problem is the escorts are provided by the Iranian navy. Yes, Trump has correctly claimed that many Iranian navy ships have been sunk. But the...

    The Trump Card...

    When Americans vote in November, they will not have this fun fact in mind. They will have Trump's gas price spike, the war he illegally started, and the Republican senators' and representatives' failure to stop Trump's madness (unfun facts) very much in mind.

    Democrats continue to run up the score. And the trend continues as Nov 2026 draws nearer. Current score: Democrats 29. Republicans 0. Republicans ZERO! With 336 seats contested in dozens of special elections and regular elections nationwide, the Republicans could not flip even one? What's up...

    The Trump Card...

    Years ago, when I was active in the Perot for President campaign, a man walked into the office and said he had been in correspondence with Ross Perot. He wanted us to take his campaign leadership advice for that reason. When pressed for details, he admitted he had done nothing more than mail...

    Trump Tips His Hand. Iran Pounces. News this morning: CENTCOM (U.S. Naval Forces Central Command): In a briefing from Manama, Bahrain, Admiral Charles Cooper II confirmed that satellite and drone reconnaissance have identified a "Broadside" of Sadaf-type naval contact mines deployed at the...

    Trump's Good and Productive Conversations with Iran If the talks Trump claims have happened or are happening, and if they are in fact "good and productive" Trump must be using his superior deal making skills to request that the Straight of Hormuz remain effectively closed and that the Iranian...

    Another Trump Ultimatum Ignored On Nov. 30, 2024, Trump said, "We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to...

    The Trump Card...

    We're in a race to see which happens first. Trump erodes the Constitution enough to gain unchecked power, or he is dethroned through death, disability, or impeachment. Once he's gone, and his criminal cohorts no longer have the possibility of a Trump pardon, the American people can be about...

    Iran Calls Trump's Bluff. Trump Backs Down. That's my updated assessment. The Straight remains closed. Iran stands firm. Trump humiliated worldwide. Trump lied about the talks. Related posts Here: The Trump Card... and Here: The Trump Card...

    The Trump Card...

    What's Really Going On? What's Your Spin? I may be wrong about this but here's my best guess. Trump claims there have been "good and productive conversations" with Iran. Iran continues to deny that. Both of these are true on their face and easily verified. There is no doubt Trump said what he...

    If you mean by TDS "Trump Distrust Syndrome" I'll agree. The man is a serial liar. That fact has been documented tens of thousands of times. My Grok prompt was not saved when I exited the session. It was something like "Trump posted on Truth Social about talks he had with Iran. Is this true...

    You make a worthy point. In a war, both sides are prone to lie for propaganda purposes. But in this case, the question at hand is so clear that the truth can be easily discerned. To have talks, both sides must actually talk. If one side says they talked and the other side does not, it's pretty...

    Regarding Trump's "I am pleased to report ... good and productive conversations" post, did it even enter your mind to see what Iran is saying about this? Did you think it might be wise to fact check Trump's post? It entered my mind and it took just seconds to learn that Iran has issued multiple...
