With no warning, Melania Trump announced apologies from people who have linked her with Epstein and she wants Congressional hearings for the victims.  The ceasefire with Iran still looks very fragile.

In the 11th hour, President Trump announced a ceasefire.  Great.  Bloodshed was spared.  Sadly, every expert is saying it is a fragile agreement, to put if mildly.  Unless there is a miracle, the two week agreement will expire.  Then, we will go back to warfare?

The President said a whole civilization will die tonight.  He gave a deadline of 8pm ET.  Do you think he means it?  He has broken five deadlines in a row.

To hear how they rescued the 2nd pilot shot down was extraordinary.  Watch for Hollywood to make a movie about it.  The President has imposed a deadline of 8pm ET tomorrow for a deal from Iran or he will order a massive attack.  Nato is not looking good rejecting the U.S.

Out of 12,000+ missions, an F-15E fighter jet was shot down.  Specialized American crews have found one of the two pilots.  The search for the other is underway.  Jobs report for March looks decent but the numbers are whipsawing up and down over the last three months.

Communications confusion.  The President suggests leaving the Strait of Hormuz for others to deal with.  Marco Rubio says we will open it.  Pete Hegseth continues to prosecute the war.  Scotus says conversion therapy is free speech.

Asia is dependent on oil from Iran.  No oil will cut into production of products they ship to the USA.  Hence, is a supply shortage brewing?  TSA is getting paychecks but that only covers back pay.  What about the pay for the work they are doing now?

The Senate passed a funding bill for DHS.  The House called it JUNK.  The Senate has left for a two week break.  The military mission in Iran is going according to plan but some want to cut and run.

Who are we negotiation with, talking with?  Nobody knows.  Is it simply to manipulate stock and oil prices?  It appears there were many errors that led to the plane crash at LaGuardia.

The airports are still a mess.  ICE has arrived at 13 airports but they appear to be standing around, not interacting with anyone.  Air Canada hit an airport firetruck crossing the runway while the plane was landing.  Both pilots killed . About a dozen passengers in the hospital.  Air Traffic Controller "messed up" according to him.  Why does the President look like he is backing off of the war with Iran?

Rand Paul holds a grudge against Markwayne Mulliin.  Iran is hoping Americans get tired of high gas prices and pressure Washington to stop the war.  The Fed left interest rates unchanged which was no surprise.

Europe received about 20% of Iranian oil.  Will European countries help us open the Strait of Hormuz?  TSA still not funded.  Lines are getting bigger at the airports.  Is the FCC threatening major television networks?  Should the govt dictate editorial direction?  Can you say Pravda?

The focus of the war is the Strait of Hormuz.  It is a huge lever for Iran.  Along with attacking the global economy, add in cyber warfare and sleeper cells.  Our military is on schedule but they estimate it will take them three to five weeks to declare victory.

Will the President prosecute this war until the military says mission accomplished?  Despite wishful thinking, the Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed.

A number of oil analysts, traders, etc. give their opinion on where gas and oil prices will be when hostilities end and in-between now and then.  High income people are doing fine.  Duh.  B of A out with their study of bank customers.  Airports have long lines.  Not going to end until Democrats fund DHS.

Iran talk with the US have ended without an agreement.  What happens next?  Deja Vu.  President Clinton deposed today by the Oversight Committee.  It feels like 1999. A convicted child molester who was paroled because he is over 50 and under California law he is "elderly" is again behind bars.  They are prosecuting him on a case they skipped in 1996 because they thought he was already sentenced to three consecutive terms of 25 to life.

Hillary Clinton testified before the Oversight Committee today.  Tomorrow is former President Bill Clinton.  It is all about their relationships with Epstein.  A California law makes it possible for elderly inmates to be released.  A serial child molester who had been sentenced to three, 25 to life sentences, was released because he is older than 50 which the law defines as elderly.

State of the Union speech.  Record long at one hour and forty eight minutes.  Most of them are usually forgotten.   Some Dems had a State of the Swamp event with people dressed up in frog costumes.  Why?  Gavin Newsom got a 960 S.A.T. score.  Is he advertising he is not that smart?  Who knew?  Also found out he is dyslexic.
