Trump will brag that any MOU he signs with Iran will include a line from Iran promising never to builds nukes. Yet that was also in the JCPOA, which said: “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapon.” Trump tore up the JCPOA & caused a war.

You don't have to love Elon Musk to recognize what this headline says about us.
A country that spends more time criticizing wealth creation than encouraging it sends a clear message to builders: your success is tolerated, not celebrated.

up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Speaking of Bari Weiss, she put a target on the back of the poet and professor Refaat Alareer in Gaza and he was assassinated by the IDF less than two months later. He, his brother, his sister, and four of his nephews were killed in a surgical strike.

If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes.
Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.
Line chart titled "Consumer Sentiment just fell to a (new) all-time low" showing the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index from 1952 to May 2026. The index plummeted to 44.8 in May 2026, the lowest reading in the survey's 74-year history, falling sharply from 74.0 in December 2024. This marks three consecutive months of decline and drops below all previous crisis lows, including the June 2022 inflation surge low of 50.0 and the April 2020 pandemic low of 71.8, signaling an unprecedented collapse in consumer confidence.
