But I am disappointed that even after DOGE uncovered all the fraud and waste there really haven’t been any arrests.
I lay the blame mainly on the feckless republicans. It is more clear than ever that they are NOT on our side. We truly are looked upon by them as lower class sheep who pay the taxes that they leach from.
I just did my taxes and this is the most I’ve ever owed. Five figures. frickers. All for these corrupt fat cats to steal and waste on pet projects.
If Trump had cut all the fraud for the beginning, like Elon wanted to, It would have crashed the economy. Literally. This is why Elon and Bessent threw down in the oval office. The fraud is that great.
Everything has to be done in steps.
And rebuilding the US economy and creating the jobs is going to take some time. But it is happening.
And DAVOS is not in the driver's seat.

I *think* this is a major component of the Iran decision that the administration is not talking about explicitly. Not just depriving potential foes (which really aren't that formidable) of energy, but of leaving a problematic region in the care of Israel and the gulf states without Iran as a wolf in the mix with the hope that we won't need to stick our nose into stuff happening 6000 miles away.
This.
So, we will walk away, and Bibi can "retire".
No reason for the US to keep being exploited by Isreal if Iran is dealt with.
There will be some trying to pivot to Turkey, (already starting the drums) but that is going to be a hard no.

Shortly after the war began, former George W. Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen wrote perhaps the strongest case for the “47 years” argument:
For 47 years, the Iranian regime has been waging war against the United States. That war began in 1979, when Iran seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking more than 50 Americans hostage for 444 days. The war continued as Iran orchestrated the 1983 bombings of the U.S. embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 258 Americans. It continued in 1998, when Iran provided “direct assistance” to al-Qaeda for the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, training its “operatives about how to blow up buildings,” according to a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
After the 9/11 attacks, Iran provided sanctuary to senior leaders of al-Qaeda fleeing U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and allowed the group to use Iranian territory as a pipeline to move money, facilitators, and operatives from across the Middle East. (It still harbors Saif al-Adel, successor to Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri as leader of al-Qaeda, in Tehran.) Iran also provided training and bomb-making equipment to insurgents in Iraq, including “explosively formed penetrators” that killed and maimed thousands of American troops…The Iranian regime has also attempted terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, including a 2011 plot to set off a bomb in Cafe Milano in Washington to kill the Saudi ambassador, a plot to kill former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other senior U.S. officials, and a plot to assassinate Trump himself.
(It should be noted that Thiessen, as part of his case that Iran has been waging war against the U.S. for 47 years, also included Iran’s backing of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, which killed approximately 1,200 people. That number included 46 Americans, but Oct. 7 was not an attack targeting the U.S., or U.S. military forces, or U.S. officials.)
Is this the case for starting a war in 2026? Many of the offenses listed are decades old. Jimmy Carter was president when the hostages were taken, and Ronald Reagan was president when they were released. It was up to Reagan, as president and commander in chief, to decide what retaliation was necessary. The same was true of the Marine barracks bombing, which also happened during Reagan’s first term.
Bill Clinton was president when the embassies were bombed. George W. Bush was president during Sept. 11 and the insurgency following the American invasion of Iraq. Barack Obama was president when the Cafe Milano and Mike Pompeo plots were uncovered, and Joe Biden was president for the rest. And for any plots involving al Qaeda, the U.S. has been at war against the terrorist organization for 25 years.
What to make of a case for war against Iran that includes events so far in the past, incidents which presidents of both parties considered and did or did not retaliate for, according to their best judgment? Presidents Reagan and Bush and Clinton and Bush and Obama and Trump I and Biden did not see fit to go to war with Iran based on that record. And now it is a sufficient reason for war?
It should not be a surprise that many people are not fully persuaded by the rationale Trump has given. So when they are asked whether Trump has “clearly explained” the reason for going to war, they say no, he hasn’t. In reality, it might be that the president has clearly explained the reasons, and many people just aren’t convinced.

Some groups think it Iran being a threat in that checkpoint is more valuable than US intrests. And it aint da Joos...
