| And you wonder why the Iranians say "death to America!" |
The President of the United States, Congress, the Supreme Court and the junk food media are at record levels of unpopularity.
Iran, North Korea, China and Russia can sit back and eat popcorn. We are watching our country fall apart because of the same tired old 20th Century policies that keeps the elite rich and the struggling angry at the vulnerable.
Since 1776, the U.S. has been at some level of violence.
Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz has impacted over 20% of the world's economy.
The president is willing to gamble the world's economy to please Israel and distract us from his perversions in the Epstein files.
On Tuesday, the U.S. launched attacks on Iran. The U.S. claimed Iran attacked commercial vessels which merited a response.
The U.S. continues this one sided aggression at the behest of Israel. The apartheid genocidal ethnostate has continued its aggression in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria despite "ceasefires."
Here in the United States, folks are being laid off from their jobs. More Americans are exhausted of their jobs.
More Americans are tired of paying hundreds of dollars for gas. They have to put aside vacations, health visits and mechanics to save money.
More Americans cannot get child care that is affordable. They have to put more pressures on family members and friends to save money.
More Americans are really frustrated with grocery prices. As companies like Walmart are phasing out paper tags for electronic tags, the fears is the pricing surges will come when people notice the price of milk and eggs surge at peak crisis.
More Americans are fed up with rent rising. As rent and housing are surging in prices, many Americans are angry at President Donald J. Trump refusing to sign the bipartisan affordable housing bill into law. It will quietly become law but Trump has threatened a veto if the Congress refuse his SAVE Act.
The junk food media is obsessed with Graham Platner's personal life instead of the issues that Americans are facing.
Are you tired of the noise?
Trump in Türkiye for the NATO Summit. He is upset that NATO didn't aid in his aggression of Iran. He claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin will eventually come to some agreement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Russia is testing Poland.
He also is lifting sanctions on Türkiye when it comes to fighter jets. Israel vehemently opposes it. Giving the country military resources, it allows a buffer to stop Israel from further aggression.
Trump said Wednesday he believes the current ceasefire with Iran is over after an exchange of attacks between the U.S. and Iran, the latest escalation straining the agreement to end the war.
"I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum," Trump told reporters in Ankara, where he is attending the NATO summit.
He called the Iranian leaders "vicious, violent people."
"If they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it," he added.
Trump, however, did not rule out talks continuing to permanently end the war with Iran.
He said the top U.S. negotiators, Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, want to negotiate.
But, Trump added, "as far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars."
There was no immediate response from the Iranian government.
His comments came after the U.S. and Iran traded attacks again overnight Wednesday, the second such escalation since the two sides signed an interim deal in mid-June.
The strikes followed Tuesday's attacks on three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. said it carried out strikes on Iranian targets in what it said was retaliation for the previous Iranian aggression. Iranian Revolutionary Guard said it responded to those strikes by launching missiles and drones against Kuwait and Bahrain, two Arab Gulf countries that host U.S. military bases.

| An uneasy alliance. Turkiye is tried of being restraint as Israel mounts a possible attack on it. NATO will react but the U.S. might now join them if Israel attacks. |
Trump is in Ankara, Türkiye, to attend the NATO summit, where he has continued to air grievances, lamenting that European countries don't contribute enough to their own defense spending, as Russia's war against Ukraine has dragged on.
He has also expressed frustration since the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran began that Europe hasn't been supportive enough of his agenda.
Earlier in the day, the president said he was "testing" allies on how they'd help with the war.
"Italy turned us down, and Germany turned us down, and France turned us down, and it's OK, but you know, why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars and they're not there for us? We've always been there for them," Trump said.
The tension between Trump and NATO nations has also grown as the president continued on Tuesday to insist that the U.S. should have control of Greenland, a territory currently under Denmark.
Despite friction in the alliance, at the gathering Trump has discussed some issues important to him related to the U.S.-Israel-led war in Iran, such as increased defense spending and logistics around opening the Strait of Hormuz.
And as the two-day summit ends, Trump is expected to take questions during a Wednesday press conference.
The brief two-day gathering typically left little time for one-on-one meetings, but Trump was expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the gathering. Negotiating an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has been an elusive goal for Trump, who has teased recently that the end of the war is "getting closer," without providing much further detail. He also said he recently spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Tuesday, Trump met with the leader of the host nation, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whom he considers a friend. The two discussed the U.S. potentially selling F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye — despite there being a congressional ban in place that prevents this.
"We have a very good relationship. … Why wouldn't we do that?" Trump said in his meeting with Erdogan.
