I guess I will be a glooms and doomer.

But first I must agree the peace deal does sound great.

But we need to look at history. Nixon’s Paris Peace Accords sounded great, but when the rats kicked Nixon out of office they let the communists take over the South. Trump’s first term wanted the Afghan War to end. It sure sounded great. But when the rats took full control it was a disaster.

Now let’s look at Iran. Will they honor the agreement? Doubtful. If the rats take over after Trump will they let Iran go back to building a nuke and being a world terrorist organization? Of course.

Hell, Trump could get a deal where all the Iranians convert to Christianity and pay tankers to travel through the Straight. But once the rats take over it all goes away.

The best case scenario is to get something that halfway works just long enough to get through the midterms.

“to get something that halfway works just long enough to get through the midterms.”

I proposed that the $166 billion in tariff refunds be subjected to a 100% windfall profits tax and about $600 be given to each insured driver for Gas Help.

That money had to be sent out of the Treasury. About $600 could have been sent to you.

I pray you're wrong, but I'm also afraid that J.D. Vance has obtained "Peace in our Time."
