Not only that, but Trump is now disavowing responsibility for getting us into this mess in the first place. He says it's up to our allies to reopen the strait without any help from the United States. He told America's closest ALLY, THE UNITED KINGDOM, TO, QUOTE, BUILD UP SOME DELAYED COURAGE, GO STRAIGHT TO THE GO TO THE STRAIGHT AND JUST TAKE IT.OKAY. THEN LATER IN THE DAY, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HECHSETH ECHOED THAT SAME SENTIMENT. IT'S NOT JUST THE UNITED STATES NAVY, LAST TIME I CHECKED THERE WAS SUPPOSED ...

Time now for money power politics. The Dow surged more than 1 ,000 points today and the S &P posted its best day since May on hopes that the Iran war could be reaching its end. Those hopes were fueled by a new report from The Wall Street Journal, which said that the president has told aides he is willing to exit the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz.Now, to be clear, that strategy might quickly end the war, but it would not actually end the ongoing crisis in the oil market. The price of Brent crude ...

More than three weeks ago, Trump said that this war would be over very soon. And here we still are hearing the same language.

And that is notable because the president's attention has been, well, how shall we say, drifting a little bit lately.Just listen to him ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IRANIAN REGIME SUNDAY NIGHT. IT TRULY IS REGIME CHANGE AND REGIME CHANGE IS AN IMPERATIVE, BUT I THINK WE HAVE it automatically. I did ...

Today, a Florida voter who votes by mail said this. The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary, it's horrible what's going on and it's very clearly covered, very, very clearly. So I think this will help a lot with elections.Legendary is a good word for it. Legend means really not true. One thing Donald Trump never mentions is the name of anyone who has ever cheated with a mail-in voting ballot.It is essentially a non-existent crime, and today Donald Trump issued an executive order to the Postmaster General ...

the nation tomorrow night at 9 PM. And it appears he will be announcing his surrender in his war in Iran after he made his own personal surrender as clear as he possibly could this evening. Does Iran have to make a deal for the U .S.to end its operation in Iran. No. No.That is Donald Trump surrendering from the first objective he announced in his war four weeks ago, which was, remember, the words unconditional surrender. Those two words. Unconditional surrender, of course, means, as we saw at the end of Wor ...
