What we should be hearing today in the news...everywhere: [View all]

1) Assessments of the Iran bombing show there was no fallout, which means the mission was a failure.

2) Why did it fail? In all probability, a Russian mole in Trump's organization gave an eye wink to Russia, and Russia told Iran to move the missiles before the strike. And who was Trump's intelligence director? Tulsi Gabbard. A known Russian sympathizer. Poor Trump has to learn the hard way. Here he was thinking that she would be an asset for him with Putin, and in the end, he couldn't trust her judgement because, well, when she said that Iran was not a direct threat to the USA, was it because it was true? Or because she was protecting Russia's best interest? What a quandary he created for himself.

3) Oil prices are due to go up because Iran retaliated by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.

In the end, Trump just did a pile on of his shit-show.
