"No new wars" turned out to be one of the most egregious lies ever told by a presidential candidate.

There is no such thing as a moral victory. The Huskers have a good chance to go 8-4. That would be a good step forward. GBR!

Trump has picked a side in the Russia Ukraine war. News organizations should make that clear. And every single Republican running for office should be forced to answer whether they, too, support Russia, and how much of Ukraine Russia should be allowed to rule.

Gas on average was $3.13 per gallon on January 20, 2025. I paid $4.15 per gallon yesterday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Trump promised to cut energy prices in half in 12 months. Trump also promised no new wars. Trump has betrayed his supporters.

George W. Bush and the Republicans in Congress wrecked the country and lost two wars and the Republicans never paid a price for it. Democrats never reminded people about this failure. FDR and Truman constantly reminded the voters for years that Hoover/GOP wrecked the country.
