hypothetical: ongoing u.s. hormuz blockade squeezes iran financially, subsequently squeezes china access to low cost oil. china gets tired of no oil and phones tehran enough is enough agree to open strait no tollbooth and some other set of reasonable asks. trump gets his win and november boost.

All that gold leaf, not a year old, is more like old paint flaking off the walls of this administration.

yep, we are witnessing a re world ordering as a result of u.s. unilateral actions in iran. asian countries allied with the u.s. after ww2 and the cold war now reconsider that alliance as fuel shortages have big impacts on daily life. closer relations with china will likely be the trend.

sotu address ends with the common sea to shining sea motif, with the exception of the democratic west coast. opting instead to draw the western boundary in the south at the hill country of texas, and in the north at the rolling hills of the dakotas, majority republican voting states.

ukranian luge competitor wears a helmet w/memorial images of people killed in war w/russia. russia allowed to compete only w/limited number athletes under neutral flag. yet ukranian competitor disqualified for display of "political statement", a reference to white elephant in europe's parlor.

hypothetical: executive branch going around asking states for voter rolls, some of which have already complied. they hold this info until shortly before november elections and then do a last minute purge of some % elegible voters. thus, not enough time to update registration, and thus no vote?
