That being said, you need a few months to make a trend.

But at least we kept Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

They now know they don't need one.  They'll just hurt even one economically. 

 

Huge mistep by those in charge.

They still need one and will still seek to obtain one.

Huh? Inflation has cooled the last two months. CPI was .1%, which is 1.2% annualized for July. It was -.4% the previous month.  PPI was flat in July or said another there was no inflation.

CPI was UP .1% in July. But that is essentially flat. I'll give you that.

Astonishingly, decades of US military experts and leaders cautioned against attacking Iran because of Hormuz.

Evidently, someone thought they knew better…

Contrary to popular opinion, the pretty smart, and they’re clever enough to figure out that they don’t even need one. The threat of building one is enough if their goal is to terrorize and create chaos.

Still angling for a PR position in the Trump administration?

Prices and inflation will continue to climb for the foreseeable future.  Mortgage rates are up, housing is becoming increasingly unaffordable for millions. The median household earns 80k/year, while purchasing a median-priced home now requires an annual income of 113k.

One-third of US households dedicate more than 30% of their monthly income to housing costs. Within that group, 21.6 million are severely burdened, spending more than half their income (holy shit!) on housing.

Trump has fucked up everything.  The party is splintered.  November will be a disaster for Pubs.
