War that continues for 60 plus days must get Congressional approval. So the Trump administrations is trying to avoid that by saying the war was terminated with the negotiated ceasefire. Yet the U.S. will continue to pay for the massive build up of military in the region, including those guarding the still-closed Strait of Hormuz and Americans will continue to pay high fuel prices. read more

President Donald Trump's announcement Wednesday that he was considering pulling some U.S. troops out of Germany stunned defense officials, who scrambled to figure out if the president was serious about following through on his threats this time.

Trump's social media post was the first that many had heard of a potential new push to take hundreds, if not thousands, of American troops out of Germany, according to three defense officials.

It strongly contrasts a recently concluded months long review of the Pentagon's global troop footprint, which did not call for major pullbacks from Europe.

The Onion buying Infowars is... Absolutely Fabulous (see Brit Comedy show).

"The Onion's bid to take over Infowars moves to the Texas Supreme Court"

www.npr.org

""The Sandy Hook families have endless patience and over $1 billion dollars in judgments against Alex Jones and Infowars," said attorney Chris Mattei.

"His desperate legal maneuvering can do nothing to stop the inevitable closure of Infowars, and we call on the Texas courts to recognize that the families, whose final judgments have been blessed by the United States Supreme Court, are entitled to a speedy and just resolution."

For his part, The Onion CEO Ben Collins called out the "insane, unprecedented legal stalling.

"He wrote in a post on social media, "We now expect new traps in Alex Jones' amoral war to deny paying the Sandy Hook families, but we're freshly surprised by the U.S. legal system's appetite to put up with it."

Trump is doing to America what he did a half a dozen times with Casinos:

"Casino Management (1980s"2009)

Bankruptcies: Trump's casino companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy six times (Taj Mahal, Plaza, Castle) between 1991 and 2009, failing to manage massive debts, yet he avoided personal bankruptcy.

Personal Profit: Even while his businesses did poorly, Trump collected millions in salaries, bonuses, and fees, while investors and bondholders lost over $1.5 billion.

Operational Failures: Critics and analysts found his casinos were "the worst" among their peers regarding jobs, shedding 7,400 positions between 1997 and 2010.

Contractor Losses: Contractors and small businesses were often left with unpaid bills when his companies filed for bankruptcy.

"Presidential Policy (2017-2021 & 2025-2026)

National Debt: Similar to loading his casinos with debt, analysts note the Trump administration's policies have driven up the national debt, with an estimated $8.4 trillion added over his initial term.

Stiffing "Contractors": Critics suggest that tariffs and trade policies, rather than bringing back widespread manufacturing, have disrupted supply chains and increased costs for American households, which they equate to the "small businesses" that took losses in Atlantic City.

Profit Conflicts: Critics argue that, like his casino days, Trump has operated in a way that allows him to profit personally from public service, with his businesses receiving millions from foreign governments and domestic special interests during his time in office.

Workforce Impact: Reports allege that, as in the casino bankruptcies where employees lost retirement savings, federal policy under Trump has pursued deregulation that weakens labor protections, lowers wages for tipped workers, and restricts worker organizing."

But he gets away with raping women and girls, committing Business Fraud, and trying to overthrow an Election, according to his own DOJ.

Which is why Jeffy and the Trumpers love him so much... he's a True American Success Story!
