Robert Mueller, the man who rebuilt the FBI after 9/11 has passed away. President Trump has posted, “Good I’m glad he’s dead”. Is that beyond the pail? People won’t post that when the President passes on, will they?

Some Trump cabinet members are wearing shoes that are too big..bought by Trump. The President says you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size. Is he guided by the old story about shoe and hand size being tied to the size of a man’s junk?

Congress will be asked for an additional $200 billion to fight the Iran war. Does the administration mean it will go on longer? Will Trump put boots on the ground to secure the enriched uranium? Will Hormuz reopen? What is the plan?

Trump’s top counter terrorism aide has resigned. Joe Kent, a decorated veteran, says the US was dragged into the war by Israel. He is being accused of being anti semitic. Has Trump gotten boxed in so he has to send boots on the ground?

The President lashes out at the Supreme Court, NATO allies say they won’t help at the Straight of Hormuz stating real concern of widening war. Cuba has lost its electric grid because of Trump oil blockade. What arguments are there for Trump’s removal from office?

The Iran war has not caused regime collapse, it has raised the price of gasoline, farm products, mortgages. Iran’s leadership says it will not open Hormuz to ships. Trump says he is taking things as they come? What is the endgame? Can the US afford to let him continue?

The California democratic party has an interesting dilemma. Are too many candidates running for governor? Could the rank choice voting system leave them locked out? It has implications in House control.

President Trump is adding a ban on mail in voting and a ban on transgender sports to his Save America Act. He says he will not sign any legislation until it passes. It is meeting headwinds in both the House and Senate. Was it a mistake to add these items.

There is a new hiring push in the Federal government. Is the president retreating or does he have a plan to demand more control over the workforce? More loyalty? Have the cuts saved money? Is US security better?

The Senate has blocked War Powers legislation. Is this an endorsement of the Trump campaign in Iran? What about constitutional argument for congressional war approval? Does this mean the President can invade wherever he wants?

While the war in the Middle East spreads, is President Trump losing support at home? Is it spreading to his MAGA base. Is this part of Trump demolishing norms? How long will this war last? How far will it spread and at what cost?
