When the US & Vietnam finally agreed to peace talks in 1968, it took months for the two sides to agree where to hold the talks, & then, once that was decided, another 10 weeks to decide the shape of the negotiating table & who would sit where.

This reminded me of that story👇

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) is officially being dissolved.

All it took was:

❌$533 Million dollars in taxpayer funds
❌$44 Million in the red
❌$13 Million simply gone, unaccounted for
❌5 CEO's
❌5 years of continued failures
❌A registered sex offender board member nominee
❌Missed payments to service providers
❌A $12 BILLION request for funds
❌Accusations of retaliation against staff

And finally...

❌A nearly 50% increase in homelessness

Please don’t ask any questions that I don’t have a rehearsed answer for. Sounds like Biden.

Staffers for Seattle Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson abruptly end an interview with KOMO News Senior Reporter Chris Daniels when she can't answer basic questions

Wilson has been criticized for dodging the press & being unable to answer basic questions since she came into office

Washington Still Doesn’t Understand Iran

Yet again, we are seeing evidence of how poorly Washington understands the Iranian regime.

The persistent belief that a single decisive move like a naval blockade, strikes on critical infrastructure, or even the targeted killing of senior officials, could fundamentally change Tehran’s behavior reflects a profound misreading of the system.

This point cannot be stressed enough: when faced with a choice between conceding to U.S. demands or escalating a confrontation it believes it can manage and even win, Iran’s decision is not difficult to predict. It will not capitulate.

There is no scenario in which one dramatic move forces the Iranian regime to raise a white flag. Not pressure campaigns, not military actions, and not symbolic shows of force.

And yet, American policy repeatedly searches for that elusive “silver bullet” meaning a single action that will deliver a quick, decisive victory.

That search is bound to fail.
This is the core of the Iranian challenge. It is not simply a question of power, but of patience, strategic culture, and fundamentally different assumptions about time and success. Iran is prepared for prolonged confrontation; the United States, far less so.

@valuations_ My main hesitation: Trump is negotiating with their speaker of Parliment, who is not the guy in charge, but maybe will be??
