As usual Trump is up to his old tricks Trump's up to his old tricks. He wants Iran to scrap its entire nuclear program. Thing is Iran doesn't back down from threats by Trump w/regard to its nuclear program. After Trump reneged on Obama's 2015 nuclear deal w/Iran in 2018 Iran only began to increase its uranium enrichment after Trump pulled the US out of the deal. Also remember Iran has accurate ballistic missiles. They are a message. You attack us we'll attack you.

Trump and Putin on the phone Wednesday its significance can't be understated Trump & Russian Pres. Putin held a phone conversation yesterday. It's significance can't be understated. They agreed the war in Ukraine needs to end, that Ukraine will never join NATO & Russian territorial gains will remain in the settlement to end the war. A summit likely. In contrast to these developments, Trump has made some statements wanting to deport Gaza Palestinian's to Jordan & Egypt. Totally unacceptable to them.

On MondayTrump returns to the White House, the Democrats will have little say on what he does On Monday Trump returns as US president. Except for a truce his envoy to the Middle East made between Israel & Hamas everything else is mere speculation. The Repubs have the presidency, the House & Senate plus a 6 to 3 majority on the Supreme Court. The Dems are in the wilderness unable to figure out what went wrong & why. Blaming Trump isn't the answer. They need to go back to the drawing board & see the mistakes they made.

Hunter Biden convicted of a crime pardoned by his father There is a suspicion by many (most?) people in the US that there is a two-tier system of justice in the country. One for ordinary people who when committing a crime & get convicted are sentenced & serve time in prison. The other tier involves those w/ high level political connections who rarely go to prison even when convicted of a crime. Yesterday Pres. Biden pardoned his son Hunter though he'd been convicted of a crime.

The move is a serious escalation of the war. It seems unprecedented such a move would be carried out by a lame duck administration. What's to gain by it? It will only bring more devastation to Ukraine w/out changing the outcome.

Speculation of Trump's second coming It's been 11 days since Trump won re-election. And speculation about his second coming is @ fever pitch. Yet speculation of what Trump may or not do is merely a forecast. Forget what he said during the campaign. It was campaign rhetoric. Even looking @ his major appointments it's still speculation of what influence they'll have on him & what he'll actually do. Trump is so unpredictable he still could change his mind on a whim.

Trump elected- an assessment. Well there it is; Trump is victorious. Kamala Harris was terrible choice for the Dems. They should have held an open convention to find the best candidate against Trump. Instead they chose her after Biden's disastrous debate performance against Trump. Most women voted for her but men in the swing states voted for Trump. What we do know about Trump is he's unpredictable so be prepared for the next iteration of Trump.
