“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none.” -Thomas Jefferson Jefferson was warning that sovereignty disappears the moment foreign alliances begin dictating when, where, and why a country goes to war.

The American Conservative Get out of the war first, then do what we voted you in to do, and then maybe people who aren’t irrational will jump back on board.

JUST IN: Trump says Israel is now "prohibited by the USA" from bombing Lebanon

The Kobeissi Letter Iran is a sitting duck and has no real dog left in the fight, other than pure survival. The only chance that Iran would have is if China really got entangled into the conflict. Iran has been sticking their chest out this entire conflict, and most of that was simply noise — I

The Kobeissi Letter This has been a political disaster class for Trump. Seems like there are two possibilities here — the war continues and likely escalates further, getting the U.S. further entangled — or a loose-ended and non-concrete deal is reached with Iran. Trump pleads total victory and

The Kobeissi Letter It’s gonna be interesting. There’s been a lot of posturing on both sides. Militarily, Iran is fighting a losing battle. However, they most certainly have the ability to drag this war out, which would frustrate Trump and further embarrass him politically. Which could

Rapid Response 47 The entanglement we have with this country is undeniable. Trump claims to “hate” countries who rip-off America, yet makes an exception for Israel. Why? The conflicts, the money, the loss of American life — Israel can be an ally, but they shouldn’t be a burden.

POTUS is laying out two courses of action—a negotiated settlement, or a major escalation. There is a third option, and he should take it: recognize there is no way to force a positive outcome and simply leave. The region is not ours to fix. President Reagan chose this path in

The Kobeissi Letter Not shocked. Iran knows that this has been a political disaster-class for Trump. The Iranian regime will try and drag this war out, no matter the cost, because they know at some point Trump will have to make a deal to cool the political heat this war has caused.

The Kobeissi Letter I fear it’s inevitable that we get further entangled into this conflict. However, it’s also inevitable that you will get sunk if you try and breach the U.S. blockade. Iran doesn’t have authority over the Strait — does that mean the U.S. should? That’s another conversation. But

let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly the supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations. the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with. they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on

Leading Report Partisan gerrymandering across the board needs to stop. Both parties are on the record disapproving it. So you’d imagine a bipartisan resolution would come about. Wonder why that’ll likely never happen.

Pittsburgh Pirates Kirk Herbstreit Why can’t I get away from Kirk Herbstreit? I don’t want to see his face! This guy lobbied for FSU to be kicked out of the playoffs in 2023 and is a corporate whore for ESPN. He’s got a very cute dog though.

BRICS News If you disagree with Trump’s quoted statement, you’re a walking example of the problem with identity politics. Doesn’t mean you have to like Trump, but he’s right — nobody should ever use a nuke. Because the next time someone uses a nuke, that’s likely the end of our existence.
