@PeterSchiff Trump can do both at the same time. He's not going to die on Iran's hill. So, just get ready for new stock market highs, and a demolished Iranian regime.
I think Iran knows they can win the war just by surviving long enough for Trump to surrender by claiming the biggest victory in the history of war. They know Trump will ultimately be guided by poll numbers, oil prices, the stock market, and the U.S. economy, not Iran's position.
Since the economy was going to be in a recession with high inflation when voters cast their votes in the midterm elections, perhaps Trump realized that a war with Iran would be the best way to divert blame and get voters to accept the economic pain as a needed sacrifice to win.
Today is my birthday. I'm now 63, and I was born in '63. That typically only happens once in a lifetime. However, if AI can extend human lifespans, maybe it will happen twice. I just have to live to be 163!
Let me tell you exactly how Trump thinks.
He operates unilaterally. He thinks he’s smarter than everybody.
When his advisors told him Iran might close the Strait or attack our allies he said — they're not going to do that.
And then he had to admit to the press that he did not expect Iran to launch missiles at a 9 to 1 ratio against our allies versus Israel.
Let's be honest about what actually happened.
He went in unilaterally. Didn't sell it to the American people. Didn't consult our NATO allies.
We have 25 years of evidence that we’re not good at regime change.
We went from the Taliban to the Taliban. We spent 20 years and trillions of dollars and came full circle.
We went from Khomeini to Khomeini in less than a Scaramucci.
The biggest brain in the room couldn't see that coming.
@rabbriansamuel I think they called Jesus Rabbi, so you're in good company. I meet with a Jewish believer monthly. I couldn't think of a more enthusiastic person.

@Logosnaut The Alexandrian line runs through Origen’s corrupted Hexapla straight into your ESV. You’re not reading a better translation. You’re reading a different Bible.
Your King James Bible has a word in Genesis 1:28 that was quietly removed from every other translation on earth.
One word.
And it changes everything you think you know about demons, dinosaurs, and what lived on this planet before Adam...

Trump has a history of lying. I know from firsthand experience that government officials lie often and that other government officials who know they lied cover for them. I also know the media covers up government lies. So how can we believe anything we are told about the war?
People always think Pennsylvania is just Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with the Amish in between, but if you know where to look there are gems like this hidden all throughout the state! This is Altoona
@KylewhiteNew Michael shouldn't have been trying to trade with big George. But he does get credit for trying. Anybody could have ran away from big George all night and won. Michael fought him man to man.

"The world economy is about to go into one of the biggest crises in the modern period, driven by the complete collapse of oil supplies."

In 2025, Trump’s first year as president, GDP grew just 2.1%, weaker than any year under Biden and down from 2.8% in 2024. Trump claims that the Biden economy was the worst in history. But if his economy is worse than Biden’s, doesn’t that mean the Trump economy is now the worst?
