Trump's shook by reports that Iran is laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz πŸ₯± And all within a day of him telling oil tanker crews to "show some guts" & sail thru the strait because it's "safe" now πŸ™ƒ

Looks like things aren't panning out the way he expected πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Gee, who could've seen this coming?

Trump pick for State Department drops out after drawing heat for comments about β€˜white culture’ Jeremy Carl faced tough questions from lawmakers during a Senate confirmation hearing last month.

β€œCarl wrote in his 2024 book, β€œThe Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart,” that white people have faced persistent discrimination and that their identity has been β€œerased” from American history.”

There is no upside to a draft except giving the administration more bodies to put at risk. Maybe they could only draft white people. That would be funny. Remember the disparity with Black people during Vietnam. We don't need that again.

It’s apparent that Republicans are completely untroubled by Trump using our brave troops as cannon fodder to die in Netanyahu’s crusade against Iran. Remember this in November.

As we go into the primary season of elections, voters should be looking for:
1. People of good character.
2. Persons who are willing to enact government reforms to ensure accountability..
3. People who are willing to change the tax system to make it more fair. fair means more equal equality.

Neguse on Noem: Clearly the president was embarrassed by the corruption and the fraud β€” the self-dealing that we exposed during the course of this hearing. But I also think he was perhaps envious of it.

Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."

A Robin became a frequent visitor to our log cabin in the Forest. Each morning, it would arrive and make self known through song. This is a side profile of the Robin, looking with one eye towards the kitchen window.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran Trump's unauthorized war in Iran has already taken the lives of US servicemembers and at least 1,000 Iranian civilians. It has devolved into a larger regional conflict, with missile and drone strikes,...

Trump’s war of choice is reportedly costing us $1 billion per day.

No Democrat should vote to give the regime even more money to wage a war that nobody asked for.

Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to oppose any supplemental funding package.

JD Vance: "β€ŠIf you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Trump."

This is some North Korea level propaganda.
