I read an idea tonight is to pay Iran to end their threats of choking off the Straits of Hormuz. The projected cost: $1 Trillion. Cheaper ...

Thanks, ConfedSs. As usual, there are some interesting "kernels" admidst the "husks" and "shells."

Lauren Boebert is a JOKE. I trust NOTHING she says, even if she claims to be a MAGA and supporter of Trump.
