Over the past six months, the President has repeatedly set and reset deadlines for Iran, issued threats, paused them, and promised peace was imminent. Yet nearly six months into the war, it’s still ongoing, and his latest 60-day peace window just expired without a deal.

Each announcement moves markets. When a ceasefire was declared in April, stocks jumped and oil fell. Reports later noted a roughly $950 million oil trade placed just hours before that announcement, alongside other well-timed trades that raised concerns about possible leaks or insider advantage. It highlights a major problem: presidential war signals are repeatedly creating opportunities for major insider trading financial gains.

He also promised quick resolutions elsewhere, including ending the Ukraine war “immediately.” It’s now August 2026: Ukraine is still at war, Iran is still at war, and global energy markets remain strained.
At some point, constant shifting deadlines stop being strategy and start looking like “crying wolf.” And when that happens, it’s not just politics that suffers—markets, allies, and adversaries all begin to question whether U.S. statements can be trusted.

The clear fact that our troops deserve better should be a bipartisan issue.

McConnell also apparently refuses to do a phone call as well, but is still claiming his full salary of $174,000 and benefits.

Would a Mark Kelly/Jon Ossoff ticket win the White House in 2028 ? Thoughts ?

This is pretty atrocious approval rating…the question I have is who are the 33 percent that approve ? And what are they approving that he is doing a good job on ?

Well said. Enjoy your divided country, your Iran war, your high gas prices, your high grocery prices, your high consumer goods, your high insurance, your measles outbreak, your depleted military weapons, and your braindead incompetent president.
