How to End the Iran War

 

July 20, 2026

 

Mr. President:

 

At this time, we are unable to approve allocation of funds to build your arch, due to the cost of the conflict with Iran.

 

Congress

 

Ask a Simple Question...

June 25, 2026

 

A federal judge said that the Trump administration must report why a tarp and scaffolding are covering the façade of the Kennedy center.

 

He gave the administration until July 31st to respond.

 

It seems like a pretty long lead time. White House PR officials are trained to answer any questions promptly, whether the answers make sense or (as often happens) not. So why can’t they answer now?

 

“Because we’re trying to overturn the court’s decision about removing the Trump name from the building, so we’re leaving everything as is for now.” That’s a reasonable answer.

 “Because the president is pouting.” Not flattering, but believable.

“Because..." 

 

Really, it’s not that hard.

 

 

 

He Left Out a Few Things

June 11, 2026

 

 

President Trump stated last month, “I don’t care about inflation…I think about only one thing: You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”

 

 

He forgot to mention his ballroom, his arch, his name on the Kennedy Center, and using the Justice Department to target people who disagree with him.

 

 

Did We Ever Hear Why?

 

January 3, 2026

 

I didn’t read any of the tell-all books that members of Donald Trump’s first administration wrote. I heard that they panned him, belittled his intelligence and his lack of understanding of almost everything, and listed his personality flaws by the bucketful.

 

What I never heard was why they supported whatever nonsense he spouted or went along with whatever he directed them to do.

  

Did any of them ever say? 

 

Were they under a spell? Did he spike their drinks with some sort of drug that turned them into zombies? Were they blackmailed? Were they threatened? 

 

Or did they betray the country just to get ahead politically?

 

I want to know, because now the President has ordered the kidnapping of the president of another country, for allegedly committing the same crimes that he just pardoned the president of yet another country for.

 

And people obeyed this very illegal order.

 

Why?

 

I need to know, because we need to know how to break Congress out of its Trump-supporting stupor and finally rein him in.

 

So, somebody start talking, and tell us the most important thing: Why did you do it?
