OBAMA: He pulled out of the JCPOA, starts this war—Seven months later, six months after they declared victory, how's that war going?
Our allies and our bases have been attacked. Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles. And Iran now has veto power over the strait of hormuz, where oil goes through to the world market.
This is the reason why the price of oil is up. Nobody disputes that. This is the reason the price of diesel is up. This is the reason why the price of just about everything is up.
Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on important matters: the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops.
These are not serious people. And the problem is you end up having to pay the price for their lack of seriousness.
C’mon man. Even the socialists want to get rid of the Trump tariffs.
Gavin Newsom says tariffs may not disappear if a Democrat is in the White House: "I can't guarantee that, but I can guarantee you nothing like this — the level of disrespect, talking about the 51st state on the basis of our history, our proud past, our present, how important you are to our future and the world we're trying to build. No, those days are numbered."

You can tell the US is really winning the Iran war when numerous admin sources are racing to blame others for starting the war in media leaks
WSJ reporting makes clear that Pete Hegseth and Gen Dan Caine, not just Bibi Netanyahu, bear a lot of the blame for convincing Trump to launch an unwinnable war, while the U.S. intelligence community accurately warned of the risks….
WSJ: Trump listened [to Vance’s arguments not to launch a war] but was ultimately swayed by Pentagon presentations of “decisive” options, U.S. officials said…. Hegseth and Caine replied on multiple occasions that they would navigate any complications, said officials who attended the meetings.

It’s better to think of purchasing your home as buying a consumption good rather than an asset, but of course with a family, it’s a very important consumption good.
a primary residence is a terrible asset for most ppl cuz you:
- concentrate a huge percentage of your net worth in one illiquid object.
- pay insane transaction costs to enter & exit (not to mention tons of middle men jesus christ).
- pay property tax, insurance, maintenance, repairs, hoa fees, interest, etc.
- assume geographic immobility.
- often consume more housing than you would have rented.
- get no cash flow from the asset.
you should only do it if you want long term emotional investment (e.g. if you have a family to raise or whatever) or you're rich af.

I'm sorry, I can't get over this. The most powerful person on earth is using the full force of government to jail a 67-year-old over an error his *own administration* oversaw. It is the epitome of government "weaponization." Mind-blowing hypocrisy. It's unconscionable.
BREAKING WSJ:
Trump White House officials have asked the Trump Justice Department to consider a new prosecution of David Hearn, the man accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool — as Trump fumes over U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's decision to drop the case. wsj.com/us-news/law/white-ho…

I am a single-issue voter, and that issue is: Can you correctly identify who won the 2020 presidential election? Because if you can't, you will never, ever have my vote.
It's unfortunately normal for Christians to sin like this (we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God) but it's more disturbing that Vance does not even appear to recognize this as sin.
I'm surprised to hear Mark say this. If you've ever met him in person, it's quite obvious the man has never missed a burrito.

I regret nothing. Even if the ending never comes, the ride was well worth it. I’ve made peace with whatever happens.
I'm not as optimistic as some of the other Spurs fans on here-I think the Knicks have some matchup advantages, most notably the size on the wings that helps them match up with Wemby and our guards-but I'll still say Spurs in 7. It's Wemby's time.

I think @StephenM is one of the most evil people in American politics today (perhaps rivaled only by his boss) but I still have a quaint notion that you should attack his actions, not his personal appearance

“Wemby played 48 minutes, had 41 points, 24 rebounds and 3 blocks, changed 20 other shots and made a must-make 30 footer from the Curry spot, and by the end of the game the OKC fans looked like they’d just been strip-searched — anyway he’s our player of the game.”

Saying "this is not a golden calf" as you put up a golden calf doesn't cancel that fact out.
Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump.
Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.
This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.
It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed.
Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world.
I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly.
I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible.
Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence.
And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful.
God bless President Trump.
God bless every Patriot.
And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

The Oracle told Trump that if he should send an army against the Persians, he'll destroy a great empire, so I wouldn't worry about this too much.

“What would you say to a young Christian who is nervous about the future?”
I love @TimKellerNYC’s answer. I think about it every Easter.
