Dems’ obsession with climate and Republicans’ desire for regime change in the Mideast are two versions of the same political problem: Americans have very limited willingness to accept higher gasoline prices for policies that mostly have effects abroad. joshbarro.com/p/trump-is-fai…

The collective meltdown among most at the far right regarding Péter Magyar's resounding victory in Hungary is probably the most telling moment you will see regarding the so-called "conservative" or "patriotic" movements across the globe. I will elaborate:
Péter Magyar is not a lefty or woke. His ideology is center-right. Tisza will partially follow an even harsher immigration policy and continue some decisions made under Orban, e.g. opposing the EU migration and asylum pact, a core demand of many of the far-right figures. Magyar himself describes his movement a "renewal", not a "revolution".
So why the meltdown? The answer is so unmasking. Péter Magyar and Tisza are no Russian puppets. They haven't forgotten what Soviet-Russia did in 1956. They made a clear stand against the Russian aggressions, both of those in the past and today.
Furthermore, the system of rampant corruption Orban and his allies have built is not limited to Hungary. It has deep ties to foreign actors. It is obvious that it will reveal some very interesting money streams coming from East and West. So, we are not talking about Hungary alone, but an international network of right-wing movements actively collaborating.
Most of those right-wing movements bemoan this development, and this development alone. It unmasks that their political leaning of being "conservative" was but a sharade. It was only about money and a deeply corrupt network benefiting them, with money streams coming from Russia and elsewhere.

My conviction remains:
God did not ordain Donald Trump to rescue the American church, or revive the American church, or redeem the American church.
God ordained Donald Trump to test the American church. And the American church has failed.

Why do one or two potatoes cost more than half a dozen different fruit grown in different seasons and parts of the world? Damn those capitalists.

I think Hormuz has broken Trump.
We always say he's inconsistent and changes his mind.
But this is different. I don't think he's ever been this all over the place on an issue in such a short period of time.
"OPEN HORMUZ OR YOUR CIVILIZATION DIES."
"We don't need Hormuz, it's Europe's problem."
"Oh actually, we're probably going to have a deal with the Iranians to run it together."
"It's great Hormuz is not open, we get to sell more oil!"
"Actually, Hormuz is open! The media is lying again."
When he's been inconsistent before, usually he cycles through different positions, at least showing some consistency for a short period of time. Here he's constantly saying contradictory things in the same breath, over and over again.
I think he realizes he's stuck. He can let Iran have Hormuz and say it doesn't matter or lie about what happened. MAGA idiots may believe him, but he'll be a laughing stock to everyone else.
Or he can pivot back to "DESTROY THEIR CIVILIZATION," send oil to $150, and hope it works.
Either 1) more war, which wrecks the economy going into the midterms, or 2) total loss, and maybe the economy recovers if Iran allows enough traffic through, but this goes along with what is probably the worst strategic defeat in American history.
Just terrible options all around.
