@rgoptions @jonfavs 2 wrongs don make a right.

@jonfavs You mean like how the left celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death, or how they where crying when the shooter missed trump

One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.

@Kasparov63 Well put and on point. His rogue reckless “excursion” over supposed threats whispered by his son-in-law will go down as one of the biggest blunders ever in statesmanship and assure another century of terrorist threat. Idiotic is too kind. This even makes Hoover like a genius.

🤷‍♂️ Trump has the strategic sense of an out of control bulldozer. Occasionally, he will crush something you didn’t like, but he will also crush many good things, and anything in his way. And there is never any semblance of strategic planning or national interests.

@SecScottBessent Meanwhile “Statesman of the Year” is dancing to the Village People at his private club dining on caviar and filet while the economy collapses after his rogue reckless “excursion” assured nothing less than another century of terrorist threat. The only winners? Ivanka and Jared.

Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

@freakmongerGG @Osint613 Really??! How’s that working out? Total naïveté. Dumbest blunder ever. Arrogance always get slapped with comeuppance. Economy wrecked and terrorism assured for generations to come.

@WindyCityScope @Osint613 It's not pretty. You completely collapse the current government and allow a secular or pro-Western government to take over. You set their military and science wings back 40–50 years, making it physically impossible for them to influence the region for decades.

JUST IN 🔴 U.S. proposed an immediate ceasefire to Iran through a mediator after the opening strikes. Iran rejected it. Yikes.... -Ynet

@adammocklerr They’ve solidified the terrorist threat for generations to come and wrecked the global economy for decades while adding trillions of debt worshipping a false god.

TRUMP’S IRAN WAR: $28 BILLION spent, thousands dead, gas prices rising. What are we getting out of this?

@vergaramig75 @FrankCalabrese And furthermore is the 9th District primary where with 15 candidates, the top 3 were tight, winner not even 30%. Runoffs would drop the 3rd candidate even if they’re the consensus. Ranked-choice solves this.

@WindyCityScope @FrankCalabrese Runoffs would be better

Juliana Stratton dominated Chicago on her way to a Senate victory, carrying 44 of the city’s 50 wards. Raja Krishnamoorthi won just 6 wards, mostly in the city’s more conservative outer edges, plus one downtown ward.

@vergaramig75 @FrankCalabrese Runoffs pick a majority of whoever shows up round two. Ranked-choice reflects what voters actually wanted from the start.

@CitizenVMachine @RepChuyGarcia Rename it for Dolores Huerta. Same history. Better choice.

In 2003, Rep Luis Gutierrez introduced legislation to rename the US Post Office in Pilsen the Cesar Chavez Post Office. Isn't this @RepChuyGarcia district?

@lachicamayra Rename it for Dolores Huerta. Same history. Better choice.

Congress has the authority to designate and name post offices. I am urging Congressman García to file a bill to rename the Cesar Chavez post office in Pilsen immediately.

@Linda29461 @catturd2 A fool and her money are soon parted.

@catturd2 WeI’ll all have to get some of these. They should be very valuable one of these days.

This will send the Left into spontaneous human combustion. 😂

@FrankCalabrese Always the airport of choice. Everything is always smooth.

Flying out of Midway instead of O'Hare for the first time in years. Pretty amazing that I can get from the Loop to Midway in 25 minutes on the L.

@mizzoumalek23 @RidgeKnapp @rep_favorite Why vote for unopposed candidates? I always leave such “races” blank.

@RidgeKnapp @rep_favorite Why’d they leave the ballot blank?

anyway here's a map of under-vote (ballots left blank) in Chicago's Democratic gubernatorial primary. the more things change...

@admcrlsn Stratton won a divided field, with most voters choosing someone else. That’s not a knock on her, just a structural reality of multi-candidate races. This is precisely why we need ranked-choice voting. The system picked a winner. It didn’t necessarily reflect a consensus.

Holy shit what a wipeout for Stratton in Chicago. She: — Dominated in majority Black areas — Won convincingly in the progressive white areas — Won most majority Latino areas — And even put up a solid showing in the wealthier centrist Downtown/Loop area

@DonaldJTrumpJr People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

LFG!!! 💪💪💪

@Shibumi93730007 @maggiewise111 And they are made in the USA as are Alden. Florsheim are mainly manufactured overseas.

@maggiewise111 Allen Edmonds are MUCH better shoes... and the White House has ordered them for Presidents in the past, as well as Trump wearing their Park Avenue oxfords...

Trump reportedly gifts cabinet members and White House visitors with Florsheim shoes The footwear in question comes from Florsheim, a firm founded in Chicago in 1892 whose catalogue of dress shoes has become a presidential obsession. Many pairs retail for about $145 – modest by the standards of a man better known for Brioni suits and long red ties. Trump, now 79, reportedly began searching last year for something more comfortable to wear through long days in office. Having settled on Florsheims, he began ordering pairs for others as well. According to the White House, he pays for the shoes personally. Rubio and Vance received their Florsheims after a December meeting in the Oval Office. Cabinet members such as Pete Hegseth and Howard Lutnick have also joined the club along with rightwing broadcasters Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson and the Republican senator Lindsey Graham.

@EricLDaugh The golden nugget inside this voter suppression scheme is that more Democrats hold passports than Republicans by multiple percentage points.

🚨 BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has now confirmed he will sign INTO LAW Florida’s own SAVE America Act after it was passed by the legislature Strict proof of citizenship, voter ID, voting by pen and paper as the default LFG. DO IT NATIONWIDE! 🇺🇸

@AldiUSA what in the world?

@FoxNews @PressSec You both lack any semblance of critical thinking. This administration is a complete disaster. Look in the mirror.

'PLAYING PARTISAN GAMES': Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt points the blame at Democrats on Capitol Hill over the ongoing DHS shutdown, calling it "more imperative than ever" that DHS be funded to protect the homeland from "sick, deranged" individuals committing deadly attacks against Americans. | @MyViewFNC

@MELANIATRUMP I really don’t care, Do you?
