Politically homeless. Fiscally Conservative but not a Culture Warrior. You do you & I’ll do me. Trump is conman 🤡. Philly sports! Follow will follow back.
ESPN sources: Green Bay WR Christian Watson and the Packers reached agreement today on a four-year, $110.5 million contract extension that includes a $31 million signing bonus.
There is a moment in every failing policy when the language gives the game away. The President supplied his on Wednesday. Asked in the Oval Office how he now defines the ceasefire he announced with Iran, he answered: “In that part of the world, ceasefire is when you’re shooting in a more moderate manner.”
That is not a ceasefire. That is a confession.
On the same afternoon he offered that definition, the Republican-led House he commands voted 215 to 208 to rein him in, passing a war powers resolution directing him to halt further hostilities against Iran. Four Republicans crossed the aisle to send it through. When a President’s own chamber votes to take the matches away, the fire is real. He dithered and bought the opposition at home and in Iran time to work against him.
Consider how we arrived here. On February 28, American and Israeli forces struck Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure in a coordinated operation that, for one clarifying moment, put the Islamic Republic back on its heels. It was a winnable fight. We had the initiative, the firepower, and the moral clarity that comes from confronting a regime that, as even the Speaker reminded the House, declared war on us forty-seven years ago. Then we punted.
What followed was not victory but a managed drift. A two-week ceasefire became open-ended. Talks collapsed without a deal. And while Washington congratulated itself on de-escalation, Iran did what Iran always does with a pause: it used the time. Tehran mined the Strait of Hormuz — the artery through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas moves — and effectively closed it. The Pentagon now tells Congress it could take six months to clear those mines. Twenty percent of the world’s energy supply is now held hostage by a regime we had on the ropes and chose to let up.
The drift has a body count. This week, Iran fired missiles and drones at Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq, striking American positions and civilian ones alike. A drone hit Kuwait’s international airport, killing a civilian and wounding dozens. Our Arab partners and the Israelis are left to absorb the blows of a war we started and declined to finish. That is the worst of both worlds: all the provocation, none of the resolution.

The Strait of Hormuz was hardly a black swan. Years of US war-gaming reportedly identified it as Iran’s most likely response to a major attack. The real question is why, despite extensive war-gaming and scenario planning, Washington appears to have been so unprepared for the costs and consequences when it happened. We still don’t know the answer.

Why do I not have access to Premium through the end of my subscription on June 10, 2026 that I paid for in full a year ago simply because I downgraded? Do I get a billing credit?
Many believer that 2026-27 is approved it, make or break year for #JalenHurts! I'm not in that camp! But, with #AJ gone I believe #Jalen can orchestrate this new offense, stress free and calm, without feeling the obligation of feeding #11!!!!
The Trump administration insisted for months that higher tariffs would not increase prices. Now, it is once again cutting tariffs in the hopes of making things more affordable. https://t.co/wjU8prr5gQ
Meanwhile.....Trump just put Bill Pulte, who has ZERO background OR experience in national security in as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.
This entire administration is a fucking circus.
It’s depressing that every time Mike Pence posts, the replies fill with cries of “traitor!” and “you failed the biggest test!”
You don’t have to like the man. But he isn’t a traitor. When the Constitution was put to the test, he upheld it.
You’re just a clown and a cultist.
