Trump just handed the Democrats another midterm election talking point.
I’ll Never Apologize
“Trump: For you to pay a TINY little bit more for your gasoline, you’re doing it so that a very evil country cannot have a nuclear weapon. Remember that when you’re paying $4. I’ll never apologize.”
Regrets I’ve Had a Few
Epic Arrogance and Stupidity
Hello Farmers
Hello farmers, are you happy paying a tiny 46 percent more for diesel?
The stupidest thing about this “tiny percent” is that it is not just gasoline of diesel. It’s fertilizer, aluminum, copper, microchips, and everything else too.
But That’s OK
Q: Why?
A: Pretty soon Trump will be declaring the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States.
So, Trump is going to declare a body of water as US territory.
His Way
Trump is sure doing it his way. Unfortunately, 96% wrong.
But hey, it’s just a tiny price to pay.
Meanwhile, In the Real World
August 11, 2026: Two Betting Markets Now Have Democrat Talarico Ahead in Texas Senate Race
The betting markets are catching up to my prediction.
August 13, 2026: Trump’s Trade War With Canada on Verge of Becoming Economically Nasty
A USMCA trade deal breakdown with Canada is increasingly likely.
““Trump: For you to pay a TINY little bit more for your gasoline, you’re doing it so that a very evil country cannot have a nuclear weapon. Remember that when you’re paying $4. I’ll never apologize.””
The TDS is strong tonight!
If I were on team Republican, I would take the first 35 seconds of 1964 Daisy ad that Johnson successfully used against Goldwater and would change the voice-over to say:
“Under pressure from the political left, we withdrew from the Strait of Hormuz, capitulated to the Iranian Regime, allowed them to build their nuclear bombs, so America could have lower gas prices”.
Then the Iranian nuclear bomb explodes over NYC, and the question is posed: “Happy?”.

Iran is ‘playing’ Trump as US election pressure mounts, says former envoy
We have more from Marc Ginsberg, former US ambassador and White House adviser.
He said President Donald Trump is ultimately being driven by domestic political pressure and the upcoming midterm elections rather than a long-term strategy.
“In the end, Donald Trump is going to do what he needs to do in order to save his soul regarding the upcoming midterm elections and his increasing loss of popularity at home,” Ginsberg told Al Jazeera.
He noted that Tehran is well aware of Washington’s internal political dynamics and is prepared to play the long game.
“The Iranians are watching the polls here,” Ginsberg said. “In the end, this Iranian regime is going to survive until the last Iranian drops dead. They intend to hold on to power, no matter how much punishment is being inflicted on the public.”
Ginsberg added that while the American public is growing “disgusted with the state of affairs”, Trump faces a dilemma because he cannot afford to admit defeat.
However, he argued that Tehran is betting on a familiar outcome.
“The Iranians are basically playing him and playing the United States,” Ginsberg said, adding that Tehran calculates Washington will eventually “walk away from all of its demands, and in the end, they’ll wind up getting sanctions relief”.
The Iranian Regime is counting on Trump being like other American presidents. That will be their fatal mistake.
Trump could not have happened to a nicer country.
Welcome to the Golden Age that Trump promised us. Here’s a few of his promises:
He would never start a foreign war.
He would lower gas, energy and food prices by 50%.
He would bring back manufacturing jobs.
His tariffs would bring in so much money that he would eliminate the deficit, pay off the debt, eliminate income taxes, shore up social security, and give everyone a $5000 bonus.
Lol! How’s that going so far?
Face it. Trump is a disaster. The future looks bleak as long as he remains President. The Iran war is the main example (but not the only issue). The longer it goes on, the weaker our country becomes.
Plan accordingly.
The U.S. military has lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones during the war with Iran, or roughly 25 percent of its fleet, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The high-demand drones cost between $30 million and $50 million a piece.
Taken out by $20,000 drones.
Iran proposes an Amendment to the MOU. In exchange for Trump conceding Iran’s control of the Strait, it offers to rename it Trump’s Blockage, knowing the President’s fondness for putting his name on things.
Larry Johnson has speculated that US may be discreetly bending in the direction of accommodating Iranian insistence that US comply with the original MoU provisions. He cited two hints — Israeli reduction of operational tempo in Lebanon and rumors that cash and gold are being flown to Iran from UAE.
Iran doesn’t need gold. Only Trump is obsessed with gold.
Johnson is always full of crap. Pay attention!
And now that the good times mirage is gone, an increasingly nasty economic situation will crop up in the data. Just in time for midterm campaigning!
a very evil country cannot have a nuclear weapon
Is that in regard to N Korea? oh wait
Maybe Pakistan.
There is only one extremely evil country in this world in possession of nuclear weapons, but it seems us is catching up…
NK is what happens when nobody does anything out of fear of political consequences.
Taco is unfamiliar with the word, much less be able to spell it.
