I hate to admit this but Trump was right.
He said that if I vote for Kamala Harris gas prices, groceries prices and my utility bills will go through the roof.
I voted for Harris and my gas, groceries and utility bills have gone through the roof.
BREAKING: UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor unleashes a BLISTERING viral attack on Trump for starting another disastrous Middle East war: "Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran?"
This is an absolute must-read...
"And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision?" he continued in his X post. "Did you calculate the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? And did you consider that the first to suffer from this escalation will be the countries of the region itself!"
Middle East Eye describes Al Habtoor as "one of the UAE’s top businessmen." Clearly, he's terrified of this expanding war dragging the entire region into chaos.
"The peoples of this region have the right to ask as well: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressures from #Netanyahu and his government? " he asked.
The answer, of course, is that this conflict serves only Israel's interests. They have long wanted this war with Iran and Marco Rubio admitted that the Trump administration attacked because they thought Israel was going to attack and were afraid of retaliation against American forces.
"You have placed the countries of the #GulfCooperationCouncil and the Arab countries at the heart of a danger they did not choose," Al Habtoor continued. "Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defenses that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?
"For before the ink has dried on the #BoardOfPeace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go? And what is the fate of the commitments made in the name of peace?"
"Most of the funding proposed in those initiatives came from the countries of the region themselves, and from Arab Gulf countries that contributed billions of dollars on the basis of supporting stability and development. And these countries have the right to ask today: Where did this money go? And are we funding peace initiatives or funding a war that exposes us to danger?" he continued.
"More dangerous than that, your decision does not threaten only the peoples of the region, but also reaches the American people whom you promised peace and prosperity. And here they are today, finding themselves in a war funded from their money and taxes, with costs ranging, according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), between 40-65 billion dollars for direct military operations, and could reach 210 billion dollars including economic impacts and indirect losses if it lasts four to five weeks, not to mention the sacrifice of Americans themselves in a war in which they have neither camel nor she-camel."
"You have even broken your promises not to get involved in wars and to focus only on America and put it at the top of your priorities, as you ordered foreign military interventions during your second term that included seven countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela, in addition to naval operations in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. You directed more than 658 foreign airstrikes in your first year in office, which equals the total strikes in Biden's entire term, for which you directed your arrows of criticism for involving the United States in foreign wars."
"Your Excellency the President, these numbers have severely reflected on your approval ratings among Americans, which have declined since your inauguration for the second term, by about 9% in just 400 days."
"These numbers say something clear: Even within #TheUnitedStates, there is growing concern about being dragged into a new war, and about exposing the lives of Americans, their economy, and their future to unnecessary risks."
"True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace. And if these initiatives were launched in the name of peace, then we have the right today to demand full transparency and clear accountability," Al Habtoor concluded, tagging Donald Trump's X account.
The billionaire is clearly throwing everything that he can think of at this catastrophe in the hopes of convincing Trump to back off. But he's absolutely right on all of his points. Trump has now unilaterally plunged the Middle East into blood-soaked chaos, his approval rate is cratering, and the United States stands to gain nothing from this war. This will go down as possibly the worst decision ever made by an American president.
Please ❤️ and share if you staunchly oppose Trump's Iran War!
Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.
Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.

This is what Denmark thinks of Trump’s Davos speech.
A global laughingstock.
An international embarrassment on a scale never before achieved.
Truly unprecedented failure.
This guy nails it 🔥 🔥 🔥
“He wants to own what he cannot tame.”
🟥 WOW... 🇬🇱🇩🇰
The lyrics of this new “Greenland Defense Front” video. 👌🏼
Just - WOW.
‘Epic’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.
72 minuti. 72 minuti di delirio in diretta mondiale.
72 minuti in cui il Presidente degli Stati Uniti ha confuso la Groenlandia con l’Islanda. Più volte. Mentre spiegava perché vuole comprarla.
72 minuti in cui ha minacciato un alleato NATO, la Danimarca, con queste parole: “Potete dire di sì, e lo apprezzeremo. Potete dire di no, e ce lo ricorderemo”.
72 minuti in cui ha definito la Groenlandia “un pezzo di ghiaccio” da cui dipenderebbero i destini della Terra: “Quello che chiedo è un pezzo di ghiaccio in cambio della pace mondiale”.
72 minuti in cui ha dichiarato di avere “100% sangue scozzese e 100% sangue tedesco”. Che farebbe 200%. Ma la matematica, evidentemente, non è il suo forte.
72 minuti in cui ha affermato che gli Stati Uniti, dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, avrebbero “restituito la Groenlandia alla Danimarca”. Peccato che sia falso. Gli Stati Uniti non hanno mai posseduto la Groenlandia. Mai. Nel 1916 riconobbero ufficialmente la sovranità danese. Durante la guerra ottennero solo basi militari temporanee. E nel 1946 provarono a comprarla offrendo 100 milioni di dollari. La Danimarca disse no. Non c’è stata nessuna “restituzione”.
72 minuti in cui ha sostenuto che “la Cina non ha pale eoliche”. La Cina. Il Paese che da 15 anni consecutivi è il primo produttore mondiale di energia eolica. Quello che costruisce il 45% di tutti i progetti eolici del pianeta.
Ma per Trump, “non hanno campi di mulini a vento”. Li vendono “agli stupidi”.
72 minuti in cui ha detto che “tutte le grandi compagnie petrolifere stanno venendo con noi in Venezuela”. Peccato che il CEO di ExxonMobil, tre giorni prima, gli avesse detto in faccia che il Venezuela è “non investibile”. Peccato che Trump si sia infuriato e abbia minacciato di escludere Exxon. Peccato che le altre compagnie stiano alla finestra, terrorizzate.
Ma lui, a Davos, ha detto che “stanno venendo tutte”.
72 minuti in cui ha affermato che “praticamente non c’è inflazione” negli Stati Uniti. L’inflazione americana è al 2,7%. Superiore all’obiettivo della Fed. In aumento, secondo le previsioni, a causa dei suoi stessi dazi.
Ma per lui, “praticamente non c’è”.
72 minuti in cui ha attaccato il presidente della Federal Reserve chiamandolo “stupido” e “Jerome troppo-tardi Powell”. In diretta. Davanti ai leader economici mondiali.
72 minuti in cui ha raccontato di aver messo dazi alla Svizzera per ripicca, perché “una donna” di cui non ricorda il nome “lo aveva accarezzato per il verso sbagliato”.
72 minuti in cui ha detto che “ieri il mercato è crollato a causa dell’Islanda”. L’Islanda. Un Paese con 380.000 abitanti. Che avrebbe fatto crollare Wall Street.
72 minuti in cui ha sostenuto che gli Stati Uniti “hanno pagato il 100% della NATO”. Il 100%. Quando la quota americana del budget NATO è circa il 16%.
Ma per lui, il 100%.
72 minuti in cui ha confuso l’Azerbaigian in “Aber-bajian”.
72 minuti di flusso di coscienza. Di bugie verificabili. Di numeri inventati. Di minacce ad alleati. Di insulti a funzionari. Di gaffe geografiche. Di millanterie smentite dai fatti.
E il mondo, in silenzio, ha guardato.
Ha guardato il Presidente della più grande potenza mondiale confondere due nazioni, minacciare la Danimarca, insultare la Fed, mentire sul Venezuela, inventarsi dati sull’inflazione, negare l’esistenza dell’industria eolica cinese.
72 minuti.
E pensare che una volta, per molto meno, le carriere politiche finivano.
Oggi, invece, si va avanti verso il prossimo delirio.
Benvenuti nel 2026.

It’s not Sean McDermott’s fault that he had to play LB Baylon Spector and CB Dane Jackson in the biggest game of the year.
McDermott didn’t hand out bad contracts and screw up the #Bills cap situation.
McDermott didn’t give Curtis Samuel, Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore almost $70 million in total value.
McDermott didn’t go on WGR and puff out his chest saying that “bitching about wide receiver is one of the dumbest arguments” that he’s ever heard.
McDermott didn’t fail to add a WR at the trade deadline.
McDermott didn’t fail to add a legitimate pass rusher to this team after pouring asset into asset into this DL, year after year.
McDermott wasn’t the main one responsible for all of the missed draft picks over the years.
Sean McDermott had his shortcomings, no doubt. But I saw a lot of growth from him this year and thought he did more with less.
GM Brandon Beane should’ve been the one to go, if the Bills really wanted to make a change.

"The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant.
In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do."
"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this week's New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century.
So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨).
At least it’s online. Reshare.
This is Scotchy. He is here to collect the belly rub toll. Would like to remind you that failing to pay results in a fine of even more belly rubs. 12/10
I’m done defending McDermott, we need someone else to get us over the top
I’m done defending Beane’s premium investments, we need a GM aligned with the new HC
I’m done pretending Joe Brady won’t get too cute when it matters
I’m done pretending Josh doesn’t deserve criticism
