Ukraine, Gaza, Iran. He’s failed at all ‘peace’ efforts. In each case the result so far is more bombing, more death, more destruction. Bloviating only gets you so far.

How to lose the future ( and have unnecessary deaths). Who’s competing with China? Trump cuts US public spending on health science to lowest level in decade via Financial Times on.ft.com/3HZBptG

This is scary, shameless, BS risking people's livelihood. Musk made-up ideology-based fantasy about fraud denied reality to impose itself on Social Security Admin. When reality doesn't matter, we are done as a society. nytimes.com/2025/06/16/us/…

there's a technical term for when Government controls the means of production (hint: opposite of free markets.) One could say it raises the question of who, exactly the loony left Marxists are? nytimes.com/2025/06/15/us/…

To understand how delusional this is a few facts:iPhone has 2700 parts, 187 suppliers in 28 countries. A US-only supply is simply impossible. But why let reality get in the way of MAGA fantasy?

Indeed. Need a natl conservation on core question: do we want next generation to have families or not? Even for middle class Millennials, GenX w/ good jobs, childcare is eating 1/3 or more of their income. Social contract or no?

If you have no priorities, you have no strategy. Colby has a point. Trump getting buffeted by events, reactive, not strategic.

No conventional capacity to strike back. But what if a vengeful, sinking regime shut down the strait of Hormuz & the world’s oil shipping? 200 brl oil & global recession anyone?
