No surprise, Russia has been helping Iran and the Houthis destroy the Saudi oil industry.
All those billions in bribes the Saudis paid to Kushner/Trump family, and White House ends up siding with Russia to bring oil prices to $300/barrel.
Meanwhile, Trump attacks Ukraine for hitting Russian refineries.

When we can tell you directly to your face and you can’t figure it out, it kind of tells us everything we need to know.

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. We will no longer stay silent about the actions of the Department of Justice. What we have been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for basic information. They have shielded Alex's killers. This is not justice.

Trump’s DOJ has been trying to figure out how to rob Americans of their votes in the midterms since February. Trump also suggested OMB director Russ Vought might be working on something to this end. I hope states are ready to fight and resist the admin. These freaks aren’t just going to let Americans vote their way out of this if they think they can do something about it.
The Justice Department is drawing up contingency plans to potentially intervene in next week’s midterm elections, three national security officials tell me: kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-p…

Finally, members of Congress seem to grasp that the President of the USA needs to be treated like a Russian agent, who is trying to use the power of the US government to protect Vladimir Putin as part of a criminal enterprise. That’s where we are.

legit some of the funniest drama happening right now. Whole election may be going to hell, war may be restarting, but Trump is dead set on this golf course renovation.
Trump tonight adds a new reason he must renovate the golf course "immediately," one that DOJ didn't mention in months of litigation:
"Narrow fairways ... leading to a constant barrage of people being hit with wayward shots." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…

So the "peace talks" are just a cover for the business negotiations

From conservative legal scholar @jacklgoldsmith, who ran the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel in the George W. Bush Administration:
"I feel a bit silly making technical legal points when this matter..is so obviously a sham. It’s hard to fathom what the Attorney General tells himself as he grossly abuses the power of the Department of Justice at the behest of his Article II master."

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

Note that the new charges against Comey are brought in an information, not an indictment, which means DOJ bypassed the grand jury. The Constitution requires charging via grand jury unless the defendant consents to an information, which does not seem to have happened here.
Pat Fitzgerald, Comey's lawyer "This most recent case involves an October 5, 2016 New York Times article that two different teams of prosecutors investigated during the first Trump administration. Both times the Government determined that no charges should be brought against anyone. Now, ten years after the article was published, the Government filed an 'Information' against Mr. Comey that was not approved by a judge nor issued by a grand jury. It purports to charge Mr. Comey with crimes that he did not commit."

Biden was actually good for the stock market.
Rates were heading lower. Inflation was coming down.
The 10-year was at 3.96%. Gas was in the 3’s.
If Trump had just fixed the border, which most Americans wanted, and left everything else alone, we’d probably be doing a lot better right now.
Instead we got tariff which have been an unmitigated disaster.
Yes, the stock market is doing okay, but it could be doing so much better.
And here’s the thing: we personalize economics onto presidents when it’s mostly situational.
Bush Sr. got blamed for a recession from the Gulf War. Clinton got credit for a recovery that was probably just cyclical.
This time though is self-inflicted. The president has inflicted self-harm on the economy.

BREAKING: Trump is thinking about lifting sanctions on a Russian fund that Biden called "a slush fund" for Putin.
Earlier this month, Trump let Russian diesel into the U.S., even though a 2022 law bans it, according to legal experts at Lawfare. A week later, he waived the new Russia sanctions he'd signed himself a month earlier.
Now the New York Times reports he's considering lifting sanctions on Russia's state investment fund, run by Putin's adviser Kirill Dmitriev. That's the same man helping set up the diesel shipments. A U.S. official called him "a helpful envoy."
Biden's former Russia adviser says it would send a "real strong message" that America is backing off while Russia's war goes on.
Trump keeps handing Putin wins, and Russia hasn't given up anything.
If you like narcissisticly gaudy.
I'll take serious and understated, which is what the other presidents seemed to prefer.
Truth
Trump’s DOJ just charged James Comey for the third time in a little over a year. They lost the first one. The second one is about seashells and isn’t going anywhere. So they went looking for a new one.
What they landed on is a 2016 leak to the New York Times that Trump’s own prosecutor already looked at in 2018 and declined to charge. A second DOJ investigation closed in 2020 with the same answer. But the statute of limitations runs out this week, so they skipped the grand jury and filed anyway.
And it’s not just Comey. Yesterday a judge ruled the DOJ illegally fired his daughter, a prosecutor with outstanding reviews every year, and ordered her reinstated with back pay.
So this is what we’re dealing with. A Justice Department that will keep going after someone no matter how many times it loses, and will go after his family if that’s what it takes.
Trump said he’d do this. He campaigned on it. And the people he put in charge at the DOJ keep trying. All to keep the toddler who ended up in the White House happy. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).
