Garbage in, garbage out. The propaganda that the MSM pushes is garbage into Bill, as he quotes them left and right. Liberal talking points. Where was the MSM when a truly mindless Joe Biden held the White House? Oh that’s right… his dementia didn’t fit the narrative. So now they invent it for Trump because it fits the narrative. Truly shameful.
Might I suggest a little less politics and a little more dot connecting. This article was way over the top. Tell me how to make money and not how to join in on the TDS.
Bill you have a valid complaint regarding Trump's worst offense of all in doing nothing to reduce US debt obligations, but your continual use of left wing media sources such as NBC, NY Times, USA Today, CNN, Robert Reich, MSNBC, etc. to back your Trump bashing is ludicrous.
US Naval Blockade Day 8: Billions Lost as Iran Regime Feels the Heat
Day 8 of America’s tough naval blockade on Iran is delivering a punishing economic blow to the mullahs and their IRGC enforcers. Losses are running about 435 million dollars every single day from choked-off oil exports and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing the total damage close to 3.4 billion dollars already.
President Trump made clear the blockade stays in place until Iran cuts a real deal. US forces are intercepting violators, including firing on and seizing an Iranian ship that tried to sneak through. No more easy cash for the world’s leading state sponsor of terror.
At this rate, the pain multiplies fast once it hits two weeks. The IRGC, Iran’s corrupt elite guard, will struggle to swallow the hit while ordinary families scrape by. A typical Tehran family of four gets by on roughly 1,500 dollars a month with everything covered. That kind of squeeze exposes the regime’s weakness and could spark real unrest from the Iranian people tired of funding jihad and mismanagement.
This is smart power in action: America enforcing freedom of navigation for everyone else while starving the regime of its main revenue lifeline. Weakness invites aggression. Strength brings leverage. The clock is ticking on Iran’s ability to hold out without folding or facing bigger trouble at home.

60 MINUTES FORCED TO ADMIT TRUMP WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG — IRAN HAS NEARLY 1,000 POUNDS OF 60% ENRICHED URANIUM FOR 10-11 NUKES
60 Minutes just dropped a nuclear bombshell that proves President Trump has been right about the Iranian threat the entire time.
“UN inspectors believe Iran has close to 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, nearly ready to be used in a nuclear weapon,” the report stated.
The expert laid it out plainly: “970 lbs of 60% highly-enriched Uranium. What can you do with that? So that is enough material, if you enrich it just a little bit more, for 10 to 11 nuclear bombs.”
He didn’t hold back on the regime’s lies: “Iran has been lying about its nuclear weapons effort for over 20 years now. They have always claimed our program was 100% peaceful. We were never pursuing nuclear weapons. That's a lie.”
After years of Democrats and the media dismissing Trump’s warnings while pushing the failed Obama deal, even 60 Minutes now has to admit the mullahs have been deceiving the world and stockpiling the material for multiple bombs. Trump is eliminating the threat.
TRUMP’S MAXIMUM PRESSURE CRACKS IRAN’S REGIME WIDE OPEN
President Trump is playing hardball with the world’s top state sponsor of terror, and it’s working. As a shaky ceasefire with Iran teeters on the edge of expiration this Wednesday, Retired Gen. Jack Keane laid out the brutal reality: America’s leverage has ignited an internal meltdown inside the mullahs’ death cult.
“I think what we’re witnessing right before our eyes is a power struggle inside Iran,” Keane said. “This power struggle is ongoing, and the question is how it will be resolved. There are a couple of paths. One is to take President Trump seriously—that if you don’t come to the negotiating table and the ceasefire ends—by the way, it ends on Wednesday, not Tuesday—and if it ends on Wednesday, he has promised to return to full combat operations.”
That’s the Trump Doctrine in action: hit hard, keep hitting, and force the enemy to choose between surrender or total destruction. No more endless wars, no more weak-kneed deals that let the ayatollahs regroup and rebuild their nuclear program. Trump warned Iran straight up—they negotiate seriously or “lots of bombs start going off.” The regime is fracturing under the pressure, with hardliners and so-called moderates clawing at each other as their grip on power slips.
This is what real leadership looks like. Weak presidents talked tough and delivered nothing but cash pallets and terror funding. Trump delivers results. The mullahs know the clock is ticking. Wednesday is the deadline. Either they fold and give up their nuclear dreams, their proxy armies, and their chants of “Death to America,” or America finishes the job with overwhelming force.
Peace through strength isn’t just a slogan—it’s working right now. The Iranian people deserve better than this barbaric regime, but first things first: the terror masters must be brought to heel. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Trump has their number, and he’s not bluffing.

Future historians will find much to agree with the unraveling of the ties that made us proud to be Americans, free to speak our minds and respectful of the Statue of Liberty's declaration that our nation proffers opportunity to all, especially to the poor.
They will also wonder why so many of us became infatuated with a genuine scoundrel -- a convicted felon, documented prevaricator, known philander, draft dodger and tax cheat -- whose deportment is odious and divisive; a drug store cowboy who waged war with country no threat to us, oblivious of its consequences and at the behest of another country.
I'll tell you my reason: because he, of all people, fought back against the mess that resulted, when the Establishment Repubs, joined the Democrats hand-in-hand in the 70s and went down the primrose lane together to the paradise of personal enrichment at the hands of the ones who provided the wealth. He may be wrong, and he may be all the things his enemies and detractors, you chief among them, say he is, but he is the only one who tried to do something to save what he thought was worth saving. And I thought we, at least, had to try, even if we were 60 yeas too late. If Donald Trump is so egregiously horrible, why was he the only choice we had? Best always. PM
That doesn’t make him right…it just means in a compared to what scenario, he’s less bad. The country deserves leaders who are more good, who are looking out for all of us.

US Navy Smacks Down Iranian Smuggling Ship Loaded With Missile Chemicals From China
American forces just delivered a powerful lesson in enforcing the blockade against Iran.
The Iranian-flagged MV Touska, sailing straight from a Chinese chemical port, was caught trying to run the US naval blockade in the Arabian Sea. It was loaded with dual-use chemicals used to manufacture ballistic missiles, according to reporting from the Washington Post. No wonder the crew ignored warnings and tried to break through.
President Trump laid it out clearly: “The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA ship in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. … Our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room.”
US Central Command confirmed the details. The guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance issued repeated warnings over six hours as the ship headed toward Bandar Abbas, Iran, at 17 knots. When the crew refused to comply, Spruance ordered the engine room evacuated and fired several rounds from its 5-inch MK 45 gun, disabling the vessel’s propulsion.
Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, operating from the USS Tripoli, then fast-roped aboard and took custody of the sanctioned ship. They are now searching roughly 5,000 containers for more evidence.
This bold move shows real strength. While Iran and its backers push chaos, the US military is securing the seas and exposing the flow of deadly materials. The Touska’s operator has a long history tied to missile component shipments, and the vessel is part of a fleet that frequently hits Chinese ports.
No more games. America is enforcing its red lines and protecting our interests.

The mainstream media that ignored a progressively declining Biden (who was never that smart to begin with) until his pathetic performance in his last presidential debate made his condition undeniable, now set themselves up as arbiters of Trump's mental state. As allies in this cause they embrace Alex Jones and MTG, who two years ago they dismissed as cranks. I admit that Trump often has me scratching my head and wondering exactly what he is up to but, every time, I end up asking myself what this country would look like if Harris/Waltz were running things with a Democrat Majority Leader and Speaker and a predominantly progressive Supreme Court...
If Kamala was in office right now, we would have spent the last two years funding the formation of sleeper cells in America with our own tax money, rather than taking out a regime that has been, and is still trying to hold the world hostage. Plus, we would have had another 10 million illegals coming in looking for the free lunch that Biden was supplying. People are ridiculous. Actions speak louder than words. The fight that is being finished today would have cost 3 trillion dollars or more plus a lot more American lives in 2-5 years. General Kane is the real deal compared to those ninkcompoops who were standing around Biden. Thank God we have somebody that knows what he is doing running this show. It is not going to end well for what's left of the Iranian Regime, they should be boarding a plane for North Korea. If we don't take them out, their own people will after this is over, and they know it. That is why they don't want peace. You can't negotiate with terrorists.
Trump is deranged, crazy, insane, etc. - you write, Bonner. Does that mean you finally might have a roommate in the insane asylum you call home? Just wondering.

Paul,
I hope current and future historians learn who among Biden's handlers intentionally kept close-hold the sad fact that he lost his mental acuity.
It was a development evident early in his tenure. And, obviously, his mental health got worse over time.
His handler's selfishness gave us Trump. We don't deserve this person.
Trump has his own mental deficiencies. They have imbued him with a plethora of character faults which produce illegal and erratic conduct.
These faults plus an intimated Congress are untying the strings that bind us.
Surely, this unraveling is not something you want?
