The war in Iran has cost U.S. taxpayers $18.2 billion in 12 days. The Pentagon told Congress the first week alone cost $11.3 billion.
It should go without saying that the human costs are even greater.

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).
Over the last 5 years, I have had the privilege to know Dan inside & outside of politics.
Not only is he is a passionate fighter for what is good, right and just in CT; he is a tremendous mentor to our youth. HS hockey players all over CT love & respect Coach Dan.
I fully endorse my friend @DanMiressiCT for US Congress. Give ‘em hell.
2-year-old Liam Rivera of Stamford was beaten to death by family member Edgar Gomez, an illegal immigrant.
Gomez was previously convicted of assault for breaking Liam’s arm but was released to the public instead of being transferred to the Feds for deportation because of CT’s 2019 Sanctuary State law, passed by Gov. Lamont and @CTDems.
Liam would likely be alive today if not for Gov. Lamont & CT Dems’ Sanctuary law.
No Dems protested Liam’s death. Gov. Lamont didn’t rush to a microphone in the aftermath. They put CT citizens in jeopardy everyday—but they fall over themselves to protest controversies 2,000 miles away.
CT deserves better. Liam deserved better.
On January 10, 2025, the Biden-Harris administration put a $25 million bounty on Nicolás Maduro for information leading to his arrest or conviction.
Public safety is not a political game.
You do not label someone a narco-dictator one year and then pretend he is no longer a threat the next simply because a different president is in office. That is cynical and irresponsible.
Maduro’s drugs have killed thousands of Americans and continue to endanger our children. Imagine being the parents of 2-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici, who died from fentanyl poisoning in a Bronx daycare, and watching this political theater.
America is safer today because Maduro is no longer in power.
Welcome to New York, Nicolás.
Why isn’t one of the supposed rightwing states passing a state tax on remittances?
A 50% tax would be enough to remove illegals from your state and disincentivize H1Bs, etc.
This should be a primary goal of state-level GOP activism.
Don’t want something like the Somali fraud happening in your state? Want the illegals gone? Make money transfers overseas prohibitively costly.
This is the end of the first quarter of the 21st century. It started with the 9/11 attacks. Spilled into the ‘war on terror,’ then the 2008 financial crisis. Then we had Obama and the rise of woke. Now we’re in the Trump age, the effort at undoing the decline of the USA, punctuated with COVID and the senile Biden presidency, which will be regarded as a shameful and retarded interlude.
It’s been a wild 25 years looking back on it. Consistent theme is government failure just about every step of the way. Massive increase in the national debt across all administrations. Terrible foreign policy - with the exception that Trump didn’t do foreign wars mostly. Massive foreign invasion of illegals and legal immigrants that make the country look and feel very different from even 2001, much less 1980.
The positives in this era are all in the private sector. We got the iPhone. Elon built Tesla and SpaceX. Crypto currency emerged. AI is on the upswing. These positives are ok, but do not offset the government failures that have resulted in decline in quality of life despite GDP increases.
It’s good to take stock over 25 years. Because most of us on here will be alive another 25 years. And if things go as they’ve gone since 2000 - it will be very ugly. Sorry to be a doomer - just being honest.
Time to DEPORT judges from the bench — our system was never set up to let LEFTISTS in black robes, reigning over (made up) courts, dictate Presidential policy.
“**They made their ruling now let them enforce it”
Calling people “white supremest”, “racist”, “Nazi”, and “fascist” used to work… It’s a deflection tactic that they use to make people turn the other way
It doesn’t work anymore.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
