No Art Of Deal
Donald Trump has backed himself into a difficult corner. He is desperately trying to get out of it and he might not be able to.
Trump in his team came up with a 15 point plan to end the war with Iran. Earlier this week, Trump was saying that negotiations were going very well with the Iran, and they were very close to coming to an agreement. The stock market took this hook line and sinker. Stocks went up and the price of oil went down.
Iran responded to the 15 point plan by producing their own five point counter plan. Their counter plan included total control over the Strait of Hormuz and the cessation of all hostilities in the region, including Israel, and its attacks on Hezbollah, in Lebanon. An Iranian spokesman, put it this way.
“Iran will end the war at a time of its own choosing and only if the conditions it has set are fulfilled. It will not allow Trump to determine the timing of the war’s end.”
Donald, you are being outflanked at every corner.. The US is a relatively young country compared to countries in the Middle East. Iran, in its current form, has been around for thousands of years. This is not their first rodeo and they are playing you. They know that this war is getting more and more unpopular in the US. They know that if you put boots on the ground that you will inflict major casualties on your own troops. You are looking for a way out and Iran is not giving you any. You bought this on yourself, Donald.
George Bush Senior, back in 1991, when he attacked Iraq, made sure to have buy in from his allies before launching the attack. That war was successful, for the US. You decided to go alone and begged for allied help after you started this war. It shows you had and have no real plan Donald. And now you, and unfortunately, the rest of the world are paying for it.
That’s all I have for today.

What Now?
OK, Donald, we are into week four of this war, and it is a war not an engagement. What is the endgame? Do you even have a clue?
You mentioned again yesterday for the upteenth time that you have won the war. Well, when this war started, the Strait of Hormuz was open and gas was averaging three dollars a gallon, in your country. The Strait is now closed and gas is up to four dollars a gallon. Where I am, in Alberta, gas is $1.73 per litre. Let me tell you we’re not happy about that Donald. So if this is winning Donald please don’t win anymore.
Seriously, Donald where do you go from here? This is two cults who hate each other and who do not trust each other at all. You’ve negotiated with them twice and then you bombed them twice. So they don’t trust you Donald. Back to the cults. It is the MAGA cult led by nut cases, such as Steven Miller and Steve Bannon against the religious fanatic cult of Iran, who have held power for 47 years.
They do not want to lose their power in any way. They know what will happen to them if the general Iranian population replace them. To put it mildly, they would be in deep deep Doodoo. In the meantime, you cannot admit ever that you were wrong. So how do you get out of this Donald?
Are you seriously gonna send your marines into Iran? You know that if they land on Kharg island, they might take it, but they’ll be bombed to crap in trying to hold it. Logically that is not an option. But then you’re not that logical are you Donald?
So how do you pretend to show that you won while Iran tries to maintain a semblance of them winning. What happens to the Strait of Hormuz? Who will run it? Who will control it?
What happens to the enriched uranium? Does Iran keep it?
What happens to the regime itself? We already know it’s not gonna change.
So how do you get out of this one Donald? Also, the midterms are getting closer and closer. You’re in a hot mess, Donald, plain and simple. Then again I have no sympathy for you whatsoever. You are reaping what you have sewn.
That’s all I have for today.

Empire Of Lies
Donald Trump was in a bad mood Saturday night. The press was not being nice to him, on Iran. The war, oops I mean the excursion, was not going the way he planned. And now there were all these lineups at airports in the US. So he texted that if Iran didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 hours, he was gonna bomb all the power plants in Iran. Iran responded that they were gonna bomb the infrastructures of American allies in the Middle East
Come, Sunday, Dow Jones futures had tumbled and the price of oil was skyrocketing. Trump had backed himself into a corner. So on Monday, he said that there were positive negotiations with Iran, and he was going to hold back on attacking the power plants. The Dow Jones went up big time on Monday and the price of oil went down.
Trouble is, Trump is lying to try to get out of this mess. Iran said that there was no such negotiations. Iran further went on to say that this was fake news, and Trump was just trying to reassure the stock market. The Iranian embassy in South Africa posted an image of a child’s pink steering wheel on the passenger side of a car, mocking Trump.
Trump said that Iran had agreed to 15 points in the negotiations. Iran said no, again, there were no negotiations.
Trump said that Iran and the US would soon jointly manage the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said there is no way that is going to happen. Trump said that he was gonna start drawing down on this excursion. There are 4500 marines heading to the Middle East as he says this.
The stock market did have a good day on Monday. However, as I chirp this on Tuesday morning, oil prices are on the way back up, and the Dow Jones futures are down 300 points. Donald, you have accomplished nothing with your lies.
That’s all I have for today.

TACO Returns
Donald Trump earned the nickname TACO due to his flip-flopping on tariffs. It stands for Trump always chickens out.
Well, TACO has returned. On Friday he’s threatened to blow up Iran’s power plants if Iran did not open up the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Naturally, Iran did not back down. Instead, Iran stated that if Trump did this, Iran, would start attacking regional infrastructure. The stock market took another nose drive and oil prices shot up.
Now we have this post from truth social, as shown above. The only problem is that Iran says that they have been in no contact with Trump. So who are you going to believe?
Trump backed himself into a corner. Now he’s giving himself some leeway. That is all this is and nothing more. The stock markets have responded favourably to the post above. As I chirp this, the Dow Jones is up 950 points. So this is Monday morning. In the wacky world of Trump let’s see what’s happening by Wednesday or Thursday.
I wish there were some adults in the room I really do.
That’s all I have for today.

Scum
Robert Mueller died over the weekend. He was 81 years old. He was a special counsel investigating Russian interference with Trump 2016 election.
Robert Mueller was a war hero. He was awarded both a bronze star and a purple heart. After he was shot in the thigh, once released from the field hospital, he went back in country.
He was nominated for positions within the government and approved by the Senate, by four different presidents. The two Bush’s, Clinton and Obama. He was an FBI director. He was also a registered Republican.
Do you remember the way MAGA Republicans and supporters reacted when Charlie Kirk died. There was indignation that some people actually cheered his death. This indignation was justified.
Well, this is what the five time draft dodger posted on his truth social after the death of Robert Mueller. Crickets.
The flags were lowered to half staff after Charlie Kirk’s death. They won’t be after Robert Mueller’s death
I think the title of this chirp is quite appropriate, don’t you?
That’s all I have for today.

Trump’s Dilemma
Well, Donald, you are kind of in a bit of a pickle, aren’t you? You are now 22 days into this excursion, the regime is still there and gas prices in the US are close to four dollars a gallon.
Do you remember your campaign back in 2015? You said you would eliminate the debt. How is that going for you Donald?
I know you are getting very frustrated. You’re extremely pissed at the media for the way they are reporting this war oops sorry excursion. You’re pissed off at NATO for not really helping you out. That is what happens when you keep crapping on them over the years.
And now you really don’t know what to do. There are reports saying that you’re thinking of ending this excursion. But that’s not gonna change anything. Because your partner in crime, Israel, is not going to back down. They are going to keep going and going in Iran, in Lebanon and wherever else they think is required.
You have said all along. There will be no boots on the ground, but you’re kind of backing off on that now aren’t you Donald? Even as I chirp this, thousands of marines are heading to the Middle East. Kharg island is such an attractive target, isn’t it Donald? 90% of Iranian oil is shipped out of that island. That island also holds 30 million barrels of Iranian oil. Logically, if you took over the island and held it that should end it for Iran, shouldn’t it? But the trouble, Donald, is that Iran will fight tooth and nail to keep that island. Should they lose it, they will keep attacking that island with missiles and drones, attacking the occupiers, which would be your Marines, Donald. i’m sure you remember the lives lost in Iraq, after the initial invasion.
I hear you’re going to be asking Congress for $200 billion to support the war. Oops I’m sorry again the excursion. Even your own congress members are leery of this. So what happens if you don’t get the funding and you’re still involved in this excursion.
Oh, by the way, the Epstein files are still out there.
That’s all I have for today.

Small Price To Pay
Donald, 20 days into this war and now the Pentagon is asking for $200 billion in supplemental funding. Soon you will go to Congress asking for that money.
Donald, did you know that,so far, regarding the war in Ukraine, Congress has allocated $188 billion since 2022. Keyword here is allocated. Estimates as to what has been spent goes only as high as $110 billion. I think even you can figure out that this excursion into Iran has been freaking expensive so far.
This is kind of a bad look for you, Donald. A number of Americans are losing healthcare because they lost their healthcare subsidies which you said the country couldn’t afford. I don’t think that would cost $200 billion Donald do you?
Even your own Congress devotees are questioning this request. This is what Lord Bobert had to say.
“I am a no. I have already told leadership. I am a no on any war supplemental. I am so tired of spending money over there, I have folks in Colorado who can’t afford to live. We need America first policies right now.”
She is not alone. Congress members want to see a plan. They want to see a timeline. They want to see what the overall goal is. These are your Republican Congress members. They want this information and they got nothing so far. So Donald, do you need to end this war, oops excursion, quick. Because day by day, this is looking more like a wild chase goose.
That’s all I have for today.

Last 24 Hours
All this has happened just in the last 24 hours
Pete Hegseth gave another press briefing this morning, where he basically did not provide any update on the Iran war. He attacked the press. He said that the US was in control of the excursion. Don’t use the word war not around Pete or Donald. The US is doing unbelievably and decisively well.. He took questions from the press. But no one asked him serious questions. So it was a waste of a briefing and a half hour that I would never get back.
Oil prices have gone up to $115 a barrel now. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones is now flirting around 46,000 and sinking. I guess Pam Bondi can no longer say ‘but look we’re at 50,000’. Meanwhile, my retirement savings are now becoming retirement disappearings.
Israel bombed Iran’s South Pars oilfield yesterday. Trump said he knew nothing about this. Israel said that it was a joint operation with the US. So either Trump‘s dementia is getting worse or his military leaders are not talking to him or he’s lying (gasp). So Iran in response bombed Qatar’s oil facilities. Scrabble players, take note the word Qatar does not need the letter U. So now Trump is saying that if Iran keeps it up, he will bomb the South Par oil fields. That’s gonna help with the price of oil that’s for sure.
Remember with Donald said there would be no boots on the ground. Well, forget that. A bunch of marines are already on the way, and supposedly a bunch more are being considered.
Trump is going to Congress to request an additional $200 billion in support of the excursion in Iran. So, 13 lives lost and $200 billion needed. This is looking more like Iraq in 2003
Remember what Donald said, that Iran was a week away from developing a nuclear warhead and from sending missile to the United States. His intelligence team, that’s a stretch, testified in front of Congress yesterday that Iran was nowhere close to either of those things. Does that mean that Donald lied again (gasp)?
This all happened in the last 24 hours, believe it or not. In the meanwhile, I’m going to go look for my retirement savings.
That’s all I have for today.

Under The Radar
You may not know her now, but you will come to know her in the next few weeks. This is Tova Noel. She was one of the prison guards responsible for Jeffrey Epstein the night he allegedly committed suicide.
Her and a fellow guard were charged with filing false reports on the night a few years ago. The case was later dropped by the Department of Justice.
Evidence has been revealed showing that Noel received a number of unidentified payments totalling $12,000 including a $5,000 payment payment 10 days before the alleged suicide. On the night he died, Epstein had been taken off suicide watch. Approximately 45 minutes before Epstein was found dead, Noel had Googled ‘ latest on Epstein case’. A fellow inmate claims that he heard guard saying that Noel had killed Epstein.
James Comer, the Republican head of the house oversight committee sent a letter to Noel requesting that she show up to Congress on March 26 to be deposed
“Due to public reporting, documents released by the Department of Justice, and documents obtained by the Committee, the Committee believes you have information that will assist in its investigation.”
With all that has gone on in Iran, for the last 19 days, a lot of the focus has been diverted from the Epstein files. This will definitely bring the focus back to the Epstein files. It is interesting to note, that Pam Bondi has also been subpoenaed by the same committee to be deposed on April 14. This Epstein mess is not going away.
That is all I have for today.

Dementia Warning
Donald Trump spoke to reporters at the Kennedy Centre, yesterday. The following are statements he made within a one hour span. He was not just all over the map. He was on opposite sides of the map. Here they are.
“Some countries that we have helped for many, many years, we’ve protected them from horrible outside sources and they weren’t that enthusiastic — and the level of enthusiasm, it matters to me.”
“Why are we protecting countries that don’t protect us?”
“We don’t need them, but it’s interesting — I am doing it, in some cases, not because we need them, but because I want to see how they react.”
“We don’t need anybody. We’re the strongest nation in the world.”
He said this all in one hour. It is obvious that Trump is very frustrated. He thought he had this thing done on the first day. And now, 18 days later, it’s all falling apart. His allies are telling him ‘ well you started it Donald and now you can finish it’
Donald really has the mentality of a child. He is not getting his way and he is lashing out. Also, the dementia is really starting to kick in. We need adults in the room and all we have is Donald.
That’s all I have for today.
