Iran tactically devastated. They hold the upper hand with choke hold on the Gulf. They will never give up their nuclear program nor end their aim to destroy Israel. Trump politically desperate. Dangerous. Massive escalation or he throws in the towel.

In the past 6 months the Ukrainians have turned a corner. They are now destroying the Russian Army at a pace that will shatter Moscow quickly. Incredible drone technology. New stunning battlefield tactics. Huge European support. Trump seen as an agent of Putin.

Here’s the thing—especially on April 15: cutting the IRS isn't some abstract budget trim. It's a tax cut delivered through weaker enforcement. And it mostly goes to people with the most scope to hide income.

“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”

The truce expires 22 April. Trump counter blockade is escalatory. ROE can lead to all out war at sea. Vital Chinese energy interests at stake. Both US and Iranian interests ill served by renewed naval combat.

Now apparently only Iranian ports. What’s next?

Trump will blockade all shipping thru Straits. Disaster for our Gulf allies. Will skyrocket global price of oil. LNG. Fertilizer. Stop cargo imports to Gulf States. Absorb huge US military resources. Trump believes this is very clever.

Talks with the Iranians fail in Islamabad and the US Delegation goes home. Two courageous destroyer crews enter the Straits on de-mining mission. Both US and Iran need an extended ceasefire.

This Trump language to permanently end Iran as a civilization seems to be code words for the employment of nuclear weapons.

Congress and the Supreme Court need to carefully watch this.

We are standing on the edge of a cliff.

Both Iran and US vital interests harmed by continued combat. Trump has gone mental on this war. Both sides desperate for a cease fire.

I was in the courtroom at 100 Centre that day when Todd Blanche asked Michael Cohen that question, and Blanche looked every bit as stupid then when he asked that as he does now on paper! 🤣

Hegseth’s War on America’s Military Someone needs to explain the Pentagon purges to the American people.

Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest:

"Dumping the Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war is a reckless move even by Hegseth’s standards," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

Hegseth just fired the Army Chief Gen Randy George. Immediately. Gen George the most competent and experienced combat leaders I have ever encountered. Courage. Integrity. Takes care of soldiers. A government of gangsters.

The most successful US air and naval campaign in history. Now in a strategic box. Fortified Kargh Island 400 miles from the Straits. Bad Navy/Marine option. Air/sea attacks on ships with seconds to react. No sea room to maneuver in Persian Gulf. Trump team does not know what it’s doing.

It’s been a whirlwind week. And while I never expected this platform, I’m grateful for it, and the opportunity to help contribute to people’s health beyond the bedside.

And however dire the headlines remain, I am hopeful for a better future.

Thank you for the trust.

So Trump says he can “take Cuba.”

He says he can “do anything he wants.”

He has employed US Military power to attack seven countries without consulting Congress.

He says he can take US media companies off the air for treason.

Do the Republicans in Congress know this is nuts?
