Unserious, unqualified and at war
The daily meltdowns in Washington continue. Staff is attempting to distract the President by having him focus on his Big, Beautiful Ballroom while his son and son-in-law grift billions and his cabinet remains a dystopian joke.

Losing in Iran
There was a cease fire until there wasn’t. The Straits of Hormuz were open until they weren’t. The exit plan was working perfectly until we realized we don’t have one. https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-israel-trump-04-20-2026

Tariff refund portal opens
The unconstitutional Trump tax will be paid back importers. Whether it trickles down to real people like you and me is unknown. https://www.npr.org/2026/04/19/nx-s1-5786635/tariff-refunds-customs-ace…
