We loved Blue Bloods but this new spinoff is so sappy and poorly written I feel I need to check my Blood sugar after the credits.

The rich and powerful will try to sell the war in Iran to all the rest of the "suckers and losers" across the country, because they will profit at our expense. Elect a failed business man with six bankruptcies, three wives, multiple felonies, and a troubling presence in the Epstein files.

Why and how does the middle east keep drawing the USA back in every generation? We have had three republican presidents dragged back into a war in the middle east. Is this a flaw or feature of conservative idealism? Would there be a war in the middle east if America left them to themselves?

Opinion | War-making is the president’s business, not Congress’s The executive branch is too powerful, yes, but Trump was free to act against Iran.

I fear the same hubris and arrogance of the neocons who believed we could win in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq have emerged. This is the pure breakdown of the republican's inability and lack of patience to negotiate. To republicans, every problem is a nail, and the American military is the hammer.

I like George Will. He's wrong on this one.
Going to war is OUR business. Ninety percent of Americans make a deal with the rich and powerful. We pay taxes. Offer our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers in service. In return, we ask for a safe place to pursue any dream. Not this.

There are three things at play here.
1. Dominate the news
2. Distract from Epstein, bad polls, ICE, and Supreme Court loss.
3. Create a crisis that a victory can be declared before the mid-terms.

A war of choice, a war of endurance, and a war of convenience.
Iran will endure this attack and resume it's standing after our President has lost interest, declared a victory, and handed out a bunch of medals.
Meanwhile, the Epstein-Trump files will be leaked to the media and the world will know.

Pretty sure Saudi Arabia has cut a deal with Kuschner and the Trump boys as well.

I’ve only met a few of the Epstein survivors but the ones I’ve talked to are amazingly strong. The thing that they’ve said to me, the thing that I’ve not seen reported though I’m sure someone has reported it somewhere is that they face a ton of harassment from people online.

It seems John Barron has chimed in on the Supreme Court decision that the Orange King bitched about.

If the countries paid the tariffs, will they be getting a refund?

Advice to democrats for State of the union address: Attend in support of EPSTEIN victims, stay silent, no laughter, no clapping, no antics, no interruptions. Look serious, determined, disciplined, and dignified. No clown shows, no interviews, no comments. Wear a pin TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.

Tariffs were a CON job all along. None of the revenue will be returned to consumers. If it is paid back to importers, it is a giant give away since we know they won't be lowering prices or giving partial refunds.
Consumers not likely to see any of that money.

The Boss.
I've loved this man and his music all my life.
"Streets of Minneapolis" was the most downloaded song in 21 countries the week it dropped. And he's on the road again.
Springsteen is a good man who will just never cease to be relevant.

Why do white sports announcers and commentators feel the need to characterize athletes (and their families) of color as "humble", "respectful", "responsible", or "nice". You rarely hear any of that commentary of white athletes from anyone. Listen carefully next time.
Is this a bias?
