Think how bad things are for the administration that it's actually preferable for them to be on the wrong side of a 1st amendment fight where everyone is going after them than talking about the war in Iran, gas prices, or healthcare. Gutter politics.

So the US is “working on a deal” to buy Potash from a dictator allied with Putin instead of Canada.
Jack retweeted
We are in a trade war with Canada while needing authoritarian Russian cutouts to do us favors on fertilizer. Amazing
Trump: "The United States is working on a massive Deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our Farmers and Ranchers. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

France and Ukraine fed Trump false intelligence to test whether he would leak it to Putin—and he did.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ukrainian officials rejected this claim when it was first made in January, as did the source of the rumour. No evidence to support the claim has since emerged.

The Trump administration shares intelligence with Ukraine, not Russia.

This is absolutely gorgeous
Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine. The systems used included FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican.
I thank our warriors for their accuracy: the Security Service of Ukraine together with the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service. Sanctions were also imposed on a facility in the Voronezh region. Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace instead of building layered rings of air defense at the expense of other regions. Steps toward de-escalation are on the table – in energy and food security. What is needed is political will. I thank everyone who is strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. I am grateful to everyone who complements our long-range responses with responses through sanctions. Glory to Ukraine!

1 Trump’s blocking certain stations which he considers critical of him - imagine that - only serves to protect his ego, not stopping the press reporting on his dementia, lady friends, and continued mishandling of his war. We don’t need his attempt to be like Putin, Xi, and other

Traitor Trump says Ukraine and Zelenskyy should stop attacking oil refineries of terrorist state Russia.
Just to clarify, oil refineries is the only weak spot and real instrument of pressure on Putler and his Nazi regime.
Trump is war criminal Putin's slave and subhuman creature.

Trump is not giving you a dividend check for $5000. They're not giving you $9,000 to stay home with your kids. They didn't give you the DOGE check. Or the tariff refund. Or $2 gas. Or cheaper groceries. Or a healthcare plan. Or 600% off your prescriptions. At some point, gullibility stops being an accident and starts being a choice.

This is a badass video.
It’s also nightmare fuel if you’re tasked with force protection in this new environment.

The last few days have been an absolute FIASCO for the Trump administration and its disastrous policies in the Middle East.
Buckle up for soaring gas and diesel fuel prices in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections.
Everything that CAN go wrong for the Trump Administration in the Iran War seems to be GOING wrong right now…
Just in the last 48 hours, we have:
- Successful Iraqi hits on the Saudi East-West Pipeline (Pumping Station)
- Ansarallah taking effectively complete control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait
- Iran striking two vessels crossing the Omani Route despite claims from Trump that they wouldn’t be able to for “a month”
- Somali Piracy resurgence in the Gulf of Aden/Somali Basin
- Diesel prices in the United States hitting all-time highs at $6/gallon
- Gasoline in the U.S. hitting Labor Day highs
- Brent AND WTI trading above $100
- Iran striking anchored vessels off the ports of UAE and Iraq
- Bond Yields breaking through the roof
Oh yeah, and we haven’t even seen Iran’s “October Surprise” yet… so there’s that too…

Before I retired in 2024, the “worst case scenario” in the Pentagon for the Middle East was both Straits being closed. It was not even imaginable except in PowerPoint briefs and War College gaming scenarios.
Under Pete Hegseth, it has become a reality in less than six months.
I thought Clinton, then Obama, then Clinton, then Biden, then Kamala... were going to start WWIII? Um.

Republicans are so utterly screwed.
This is the doing of one man only.

Vote Democrat.

What's amazing about the global bond sell-off is how many people are saying rising yields are about strong growth. Seriously!? You think rising yields in Japan, France, Italy or UK are about growth? We're in a global debt shock. Not a global growth shock.
