Good deal. Trump shouldn't throw a tantrum on Ukraine and Zelenskyy. We need Patriots, but they need our help as well.

After over four years of the Russia-Ukraine war, Putin's strategy to win is now to try to outlast Ukraine. Meanwhile, Iran claims it will win by outlasting Trump.

Watch for Trump to be forced into implementing the draft. Imagine that, a 5-time draft-dodger forcing others into his war of choice!

While many cannot visit Kyiv,
and perhaps not everyone will be able to even after the war,
I’m honored to be your eyes into my beloved city and country.

It lives.

I just listened to Trump rant for 10 minutes about how we have an unlimited amount of weapons, even though Joe Biden gave them all away to Ukraine.

We must be running out fast.

I think it's time for people to openly acknowledge that Trump just wants to kill people.

Don’t expect to see much of Trump over the coming days, he is above all else, a coward. He’s in so far over his head now he will just hide-n-get-high. Looks for a lot of β€˜Executive Time’ & planned little ceremonies w/no press questions. Call them on their BS.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

If Iran has a full copy of the Epstein Files, they should release them. They’ll do more damage than any ballistic missile.

If Trumpβ€˜s attack on Iran leads to more terrorism against American targets, we won’t have to worry because Kash Patel has reassigned FBI agents from counterterrorism to Trumpβ€˜s mass deportation operation.

Oh wait.

The stupid Republicans in Congress today set a precedent: It will now be OK for Democrats, when they take back control, to haul ex-president Trump into the chamber to testify under oath about his many crimes.
