Trump’s Iran war is destabilizing the global oil market and sending gas prices soaring.

Republicans across the nation are shamelessly backing the war despite the financial burden it will place on their voters.

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

The firm had previously netted only $50,000 in government contracts over the past decade.

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to β€œtake all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

NEW -- The Geneva Conventions state clearly that after a naval battle, all parties are supposed to take "all possible measures" to rescue survivors from the water.

Our sub that sank that Iranian frigate Wednesday took no possible measures.
