    Please check out my new article on Substack per the war with Iran (copy link below please). I do agree with the Trump administration that regime change is needed with the leadership in Iran, but I discuss how I would have preferred a more systematic process before going to war. I pray for our troops and all the civilians in the U.S., Iran and Israel. A democratic Iran, friendly to the U.S. and Israel, would be a tremendous victory for the world. I concur with President Trump on that. Be well. Eric https://substack.com/home/post/p-189589451


        Thanks. None of us really know what the intelligence may have revealed that probably indicated that the iranian regime (I refuse to capitalize) was ready to pre-emptively strike US and Israeli assets. This required the actions that the two powerful allies took. The CIA also had intelligence of the large gathering of the evil iranian government thugs on Saturday. Why not terminate them all in one place and gain an immediate advantage? I personally feel this Administration gave the iranians ample time and offers to diplomatically solve this issue before entering into military action. The iranians were just too stupid and arrogant to listen


    I do realize (as usual) you hate Trump so I'll move on. You are correct, he did make the dems look crazy but it takes a real loser to not realize after all this time that those on the left are true lunatics. Tuesday night proves that. I'll only deal with one of your points after "skimming" through your article. The point I consider is about "affordability" in the housing and groceries. Let me refer to the first Trump term and say my housing and groceries were much more affordable. The idiot Biden caused record inflation with a variety of misfit decisions & policies, illegal immigration and energy policy being major ones, causing food and other household necessities to spiral upward in cost. No sense in arguing with me, I lived through it. Luckily, Trump is making progress fixing it. My house payment has increased 18% due to escrow charges that were caused by artificial inflation, affecting this county's ridiculous property taxation. This is of course is due to the effects of Bidens's illegal immigrant program again, driving up home buying costs and insurance rates. I do realize this is your job to demean the conservative viewpoint but don't you liberals feel silly now, spreading all this babble about how this is bad or that doesn't fit when you can't even stand up for the simple idea that the government 's main job is to protect it's "real" citizens rater than a bunch of criminal invaders from a group of lunatic countries bent on stealing America's assets and resources?


        Thanks Barney. I appreciate the feedback. I do consider myself a political moderate and I don't hate President Trump ( I always make sure to put that appropriate title as I have respect for the office). I just wish our president would act more presidential and I am not happy at all that he doesn't respect our Constitution (i.e. Congress declares war, not the president). As to the economy, the concern is that the Trump administration is making the same mistake as the Biden administration and not doing enough on affordability. President Trump is now in his second year - it's his baby now, not Biden's. Thank you - if I get a response either negative or positive I consider that a victory. My goal is to make folks think. We can disagree, but please remember that at the end of the day we are all Americans on the same team. Have a good one. E


    Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment.


    Thank God She has been found. I dont know Her but ,I am so glad for happy ending as cold as it is .


    Dear Lisa, I look forward to your articles.They pause our hectic life so we can actually reflect on what is happening around us and to us.We are so consumed with trying to solve everything we forget to stop and breathe. You make that possible.Thank you again! Cindy Drum
