We were lifelong Democrats.
We are lifelong Californians
We will never again vote for a Democrat. Their policies have ruined our livelihood, ruined our state and pander to our community expecting our loyalty. Trippin. Never again

Homeless people are using dogs to test drugs for them on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California.

Non-profit group Starts With One Today says dogs are being abused, thrown away, sold for drugs, neglected, and fed drugs to make sure there is no fentanyl.

Animal advocates are ripping Mayor Karen Bass and other elected officials for not taking enough action.

“We’re coming out here, risking our lives to help these dogs with no support from the government,” said volunteer Joey Tuccio.

The credo of too many politicians has become "how do we take more of what you earn" instead of "how do we help you to earn more".

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025.

But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it.

Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions.

Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are.

Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale.

Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is.

Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.”

If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about?

Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy.

Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades.

They couldn’t even manage that.

So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates.

If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

A drug-addicted parasite stole a gun, walked up to a random pregnant woman in Seattle, and murdered her. Instead of just executing him, the state wasted three years “evaluating” him before reaching a plea deal acquitting him for “insanity,” so now millions of dollars can be spent “rehabilitating” him so that later left-wing activists can work for his release in the hopes he will get to do more drugs and kill somebody again.

How is it possible these primitive monsters exist in modern times? More frightening is that they are multiplying like flies on dead meat, and will eventually take over and end the human race.

The idea that this admin is "fumbling" (Politico) this energy moment is hilarious. It's thanks to Trump's energy indendence/dominance agenda that we could confront Iran, and why his team now has levers to pull. The real risk to energy: Biden
