61° and Sunny
There was so much nonsense going on in the last few days I had to step away from sharing political observations but I have noticed many people appreciate a voice of reason in the sea of chaos. To all those who have approached me in real life, messaged via Facebook, texted or called, thank you. I believe in capitalism, the rule of law, and the Constitution. What is going on inside the beltway is chaos. MAGA likes to deny it, and hide in an insular, alternate reality where snowflakes never melt, immigrants are illegal until proven otherwise and fascism is to be embraced and celebrated. This is here for the rest of us.

Peace with Iran involves pallet of cash
$20 billion in frozen funds will be released in exchange for their enriched uranium. So many questions: 1) Wait? Pallets of cash? What in the Obama are those? I know $20 billion is more than $400 million but hey, inflation. 2) I thought they didn’t have any, we set their program back decades 6 months ago with that bunker buster. 3) How does this “Make America Great Again?” or put America First? https://www.axios.com/2026/04/17/iran-us-deal-20-billion-frozen-funds-uranium
Melting down on Truth Social
It never really stops because he is President. They can’t take his phone away. https://www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-politics-bulletin-351-41726?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=web
