  • Trump Attacks Iran to Benefit Russia

    Three biggest questions of Trump’s war against Iran:

    1) Did Israel war criminal Netanyahu force a weak Trump to bomb Iran?

    2) Did compromised Trump bomb Iran to help Putin with oil revenues & Russia’s war against Ukraine?

    3) Did yet another Republican President force US into Middle East war by manufacturing false evidence, or to distract from Epstein sexual abuse that incriminates Trump?

  • I listen every morning and night and I appreciate the summary of the most important events in politics, economy and technology. This is not sensationalist blog or podcast. It’s measured and it keeps me informed. I wish it could have 3 editions a day.

  • So called

    I’ve noticed WSJ is using the term “so called” now. I would think if someone names something then it’s not “so called “. It’s actually called that. If you’re going to use that term then explain why. That’s journalism.

  • Abigail Spanberger

    You said on 2/25/26 that Spanberger is a “moderate”.

    I guess you just totally missed all of her radical proposals.

    One star.
