I hope the Dems keep fighting for the illegals. Watching Dems fly around the world concerned over a gang banger is going to make a great campaign slogan for the Republicans.

I have to say I am not impressed with the way Trump waffles on the tariffs. All he has done is make countries know they can just wait out any tariff that is put on them. I think back to what my mother used to to say about raising a child. She said never threaten to do a punishment and then not go through with it because after a couple times your child will not even pay attention to your threats. I think we are at that point with Trump’s tariff threats.

Trump tells DOD to move more forces equipped for combat into Middle East as US ups pressure on Houthis​



Could be a helpful show of force during the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran. Think I heard we've been hitting some pretty deep Houthi bunkers.

Or it could actually be meant for Iran with the Houthis serving as a convenient excuse.

We did hear this kind of thing before we went into Iraq in 2003.....

Iran fortifying buried nuclear sites as talks with US continue, report says

"Iran is ringing two deeply buried tunnel complexes with a massive security perimeter linked to its main nuclear complex, a report said Wednesday, amid U.S. and Israeli threats of attack.

The Institute for Science and International Security released its report based on recent satellite imagery as the U.S. and Iran prepare to hold a third round of talks this weekend on a possible deal to reimpose restraints on Tehran's uranium enrichment program."

He put the stick out there then dangled the carrot. The other countries know the stick is still out there if they don't take the carrot. We need patience.

sounds like the wage progression scheme at FedEx. every year the stick got longer no carrots
Doesn't sound like it at all. It's negotiations. FedEx didn't have to negotiate with us, just string us along. But Trump very much wants to iron out agreements where we gain access to markets that we were shut out of or greatly restricted. The stick is the tariffs they'll get if they don't accept the carrot which is equal access.
