Rupertβs people weighing in.
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

The Iranian girlsβ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

Playing the percentages, I would say that they were lying then, lying now, and lying every moment of every day between then and now.
