The President of the United States is mentally unwell and has been for quite some time.

He fantasized blowing up Iran’s Kharg Island. Except it didn’t happen.

And why would trump need to blow it up if, as trump claims, the US has total control of the Straight?

Most likely Trump has Grant at the bottom because he relentlessly hunted down and dismantled the original Ku Klux Klan.

Except they don't honor the military in action, and too often now, not even in words!

TOP 5 MAGA republican values

1.) Save the fetus, starve the child.

2.) Honor the soldier, abandon the veteran.

3.) Enrich corporations, screw workers.

4.) Protect abusers, blame victims.

5.) Quote the Bible, ignore every verse.

Am I right? Did I miss something?

@AdamKinzinger A military failure: Hegseth…

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Pete Hegseth has become very good at firing generals. He is far less adept at replacing them.

The Army spent nearly four decades with General Randy George in its ranks, ultimately under his guidance as its chief of staff for the last three years. Hegseth ended his career in a 15-second phone call. Hegseth has forced out at least three officers who might have succeeded him and removed or driven out roughly half a dozen other senior Army leaders.

There is a vacuum of responsibility at the Pentagon, and Hegseth is at the source of this irresponsible unraveling. (Link in reply)

When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.

The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.

Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.

Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.

In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
-A gaudy performance.
-A caricature masquerading as leadership.
-A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.

And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance...

Dear @WhiteHouse: Canada is our ally. North Korea is our adversary. Get the difference?

North Korea starves and tortures their own people, and routinely threatens America.

Why is trump promoting and sucking up to Kim Jong Un? Is something mentally wrong with trump?

🇺🇸🇷🇺BUCKLE UP: CIA Director’s secret Moscow dash: No peace talks -signs of major escalation?

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has made an unexpected, completely unannounced visit to Moscow. This wasn’t planned and almost certainly isn’t about peace negotiations. It points instead to sensitive intelligence or urgent back-channel talks.

The most likely reason: the CIA has picked up information about a potential escalation, possibly involving mobilization plans with Russia, Iran, and China.

These kinds of sudden trips are rarely good news - and strongly suggest the U.S. administration has received troubling signals of something bigger brewing.

Trump's Treasury Boss Tried to Rig Bond Prices to Save the 2026 Midterms — Gets Publicly Destroyed by His Own Wall Street Mentor

Legendary hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller just curb-stomped his former protégé, Scott Bessent.

Bessent's sudden decision to double long-dated Treasury buybacks after 30-year yields hit a 19-year high wasn't "liquidity support." It was naked price management. The market was functioning fine — no crisis, no dysfunction — just the bond market finally pricing in $40 trillion in debt and a 6% deficit at full employment. Instead of listening, Bessent tried to muzzle it.

Druckenmiller didn't miss the political angle either. The enlarged buybacks "happen to run through the final stretch of a midterm campaign." Debt management that even appears to follow the political calendar, he warned, burns the one asset Treasury spent two centuries building: credibility.

That's why the rigging matters. Every basis point of artificial yield suppression is a subsidy to fiscal procrastination. It lets politicians paper over the real problem — exploding deficits and interest costs already bigger than the defense budget — while pretending the market is wrong. Governments that fight fundamentals always lose. The only question is how much they waste before they concede.

Mentor just took the student to the woodshed in the Journal. Brutal. Correct. And perfectly timed to expose Trump's game.

Every market has a fellow who is certain the prices are wrong and that he alone knows the right ones. Usually the market charges him tuition for this belief. Occasionally, it hands him the Treasury.

Consider the record. In 2000, Scott Bessent left Soros to run $1 billion of his own. Five years later, the fund no longer existed. In 2015 he tried again with Key Square, co-founded with Soros alum Michael Germino and seeded with $2 billion of Soros money — which is a bit like failing your driving test and being handed a Ferrari. Assets peaked at $5.1 billion in 2017 and finished 2023 at $577 million. Institutional investors reportedly went from 180 to 20, a retention rate that would embarrass a gym in February. And in 2018, Soros — the man who staked him — took his chips off the table. When your own anchor investor would rather not watch, that is not typically a buy signal.

Which brings us to the question: is the man now confidently dictating where oil, the dollar, Treasury yields, and stocks ought to trade a macro mastermind the market tragically failed to appreciate? Or did the market spend two decades doing its due diligence on him — and sell? He believes he’s smarter than the market. The market already graded that exam. Twice.
