JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.

Workers have begun removing Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center

BREAKING: CNN Just Highlighted A Pretty Devastating Number. 84% of Americans say the Epstein files reinforce their belief that powerful people are rarely held accountable. Think about that. Not 84% of Democrats. Not 84% of Republicans. 84% of Americans. The breakdown was even more striking: - 82% of Republicans - 80% of Independents - 90% of Democrats Prediction markets have reportedly lowered the odds that Todd Blanche becomes Trump's next Attorney General. The Epstein controversy isn't creating distrust. It's validating distrust that was already there. And now it's starting to affect people connected to the administration.

Imagine spending years calling Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe,” only to become the guy falling asleep during televised meetings, ball games, and everything in between. You can’t script karma better than that. The man built an entire brand on mocking Biden’s age and stamina, and now he can’t stay awake when the cameras are rolling. Sometimes karma takes its time. But it always shows up.

no regime change in iran, no handpicking of the next supreme leader. no dismantling of iran’s proxies, no restrictions on its ballistic missile and drone programs. an agreement to downblend the highly enriched uranium inside iran. the destruction of iran’s navy, but an emboldened iran that is prepared to disrupt the strait. throw in the cost in lives, the global economy, and the global treasure, and the reputational damage to the united states…and president trump has some serious explaining to do.   next up: cuba

The Strait of Hormuz was open and not controlled by Iran before Trump launched his war against Iran.

I was reminded recently of an article by David Brooks in The Atlantic, titled "You Might Be a Late Bloomer." Two paragraphs that have stuck with me: "We have a notion that the happiest people are those who have aimed their life toward some goal and then attained it, like winning a championship trophy or achieving renown. But the best moments of life can be found within the lifelong learning or quest itself. It's doing something so fulfilling that the work is its own reward. 'Effort is the one thing that gives meaning to life,' the Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck once wrote. 'Effort means you care about something.' 'The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life,' the sculptor Henry Moore once told the poet Donald Hall. 'And the most important thing is—it must be something you cannot possibly do.'"

Kindness counts. 🧡
