55. One Very Real Problem

Thu Apr 30, 2026, 07:24 PM

Is determining the simple truth of the matter. Not long ago, when Trump's hand bruises were attributed to heavy handshaking. when they were more consistent with weekly IV treatments. Today, Trump was obviously speaking about the Iran war, but mentioned Ukraine instead. Rather than admitting to misspeaking, the Trump people changed the subject, saying Trump was speaking more broadly about wars in general. Oops, wars in general don't have 159 ships that are all underwater. And that Ukraine has already lost the war. That would be news to Zelenskyy.

We have Congressional elections coming up in just over 6 months, and the American people are in the dark about events all around the world. How can they cast an informed vote under these circumstances? What a total mess.
