Exclusive | Trump tells The Post there’s no reason to panic over Iran war oil-price surge: ‘I have a plan for everything’ “I have a plan for everything, okay?” Trump said in a brief phone interview on the 10th day of the joint US-Israeli war with Iran.

Alexa, is it comforting when the president calls up the NY Post to say “don’t panic?”

Indeed, assuming this represents current policy, it is an open admission that the regime change effort has failed, de-nuclearization is likewise impossible or impractical and the only objective that remains is to extricate from a costly failure.

REVEALED: What did Andy Ogles do with nearly $25,000 meant for child burial garden? He won't say Now, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has uncovered more questions that the freshman Republican won't answer.

Since Rep. Andy Ogles is back in the news for the typically bigoted, boneheaded reasons, it's another opportunity to point out that he once raised $25K to open a cemetery for miscarried babies. He then ditched the idea and can't explain what happened to the money.

NEW—In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.

If Bellingcat has confirmed this, then surely the Pentagon knows it hit the girls’ school too — and is simply lying to us about that fact right now.

This should be unacceptable in a thousand different ways.

he'd do "guess your weight" like the carnies at the state fair, but we know from the medical info releases that those numbers are wildly inaccurate.

March 9, 1926: The Kiwanis Club advertises that its meeting in East Chicago, Ind., will be broadcast live on WGN radio, drawing dignitaries including the mayor to give speeches boosting the town’s virtues. All goes well until someone notices the microphone isn’t plugged in. 1/2

[March 9th, 1986] In the Punky Brewster finale "Accidents Happen", the show addressed the Challenger disaster, with Punky traumatized after watching the shuttle explode. Her teacher arranges an astronaut visit to help her recover.

The show is then cancelled by NBC after 2 seasons due to low ratings

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

I love stats like this because I think they kind of highlight how much variation there is in the American experience and how hard it is to get 80%+ on *anything*

This should, with no sarcasm or irony whatsoever, be the highlight of every Democrat's campaign starting today. Trump just effectively gave the corporate version of a pardon to the most hated company on the planet. Absolutely no one supports this.
