He can’t. He won’t. But, right now, he’s lost the support of those who didn’t want him to start in the first place, and he’s losing the support of those who realize the need, but want him to finish the job all the way to regime change because they know it’s the only way.

Yes, I’ve read your post and agreed with them. I’m not a military strategist and am curious as to how Trump can satisfy everyone. Thanks for your input.

I’ve posted my thoughts a couple posts previous. Bury—or take out—their shoreline tunnel/fortification systems. Without them, their control of the Strait via threats is negligible at worst, and nonexistent at best. Any launcher in country that shows its face, obliterate. Drones should be flying 24/7. Any boat on the water…sink it. Yes, you can do a lot more damage before taking out dual use facilities. Iran has a lot of open, unpatrolled territory. Use it. Make sure Starlink is being used to inform the people, or use some money to provide free service via AT&T, Verizon, or any and all to bypass Iran’s regulation of the internet. Get them info on how to access. Get information to the people of Iran. If you’re going to use money, use it to get people on your side—the original wish.

While most people understand it for what it was, a hyperbole, that sure freaked out the left. He is good at dominating the news.

You speak your mind from what appears to be experience, and I read everything you post. You also post to debate versus post to “win” or one up someone which I respect. I like reading your opinions because they are sometimes different than mine, which makes me think

Yes, let’s not have another Vietnam with a joke of a DMZ. Serious question OlDawg: What do you suggest we do? We can’t nuke them. If we take out their bridges and power grids, the Iranian people will suffer and civilians possibly killed (although that’s been a fact of any war). There has been no aerial (jet) or naval confrontation by the Iranians. It’s been all missiles and drones. I’m not sure what Iran has in store should we put boots on the ground, but I’m sure our intelligence knows. I’ve already stated that regime change needs to happen, but either way it goes down…….boots on the ground or treaty…..people will be dissatisfied. That’s a fact.

I have no idea about any supposed $300 Million, or any of that. I don't think anyone knows yet. People are just spitballing. What I do know is the U.S. has more than enough munitions to take care of the Iran situation with no limitations. Some people are concerned because it would leave us short--if needed--to defend Taiwan in the 2 or 3 years or less timeframe. I can guarantee the U.S. is already looking at cheaper, new tech based on the Iran conflict that can be brought to bear in a shorter timeframe. The U.S. military industrial complex learns from every conflict. That--in a reverse good way--is why our tech always leads the way. The latest Defense Dept. budget request included $54 Billion for autonomous warfare programs. The U.S. will have AI in great use for military actions before anyone else is close. Somewhat scary. But, as long as humans are still making final decisions, it's the future of warfare. We need to lead. Not lag. Newsflash reiteration: We weren't going to wholeheartedly defend Taiwan anyway. It's too close in proximity to mainland China, and their assets. It would basically be undefendable if China wanted to go full bore invasion. Iran could have been pretty much over without a 6 week ceasefire. The next large scale conflict will be about energy and food resources. The Greenies have been acknowledged (even by the UN scientists) to have been full of horse manure. Many countries have been ruined, and economies have been crushed. Billions have been wasted while a few profited. Trump has done well in securing the Western Hemisphere. We have plenty of oil between Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. The Americas are energy rich. We are good on Nat gas. As far as agriculture, the Americas also offer a bounty that makes much of the world envious. Trump has also done well in attempting to onshore our needs in critical minerals and semiconductor fab shops. We are good on aluminum and steel. All-in-all, This Administration has us on a net positive for the next big conflict as long as the semiconductor and rare earth mineral investments get cranking fairly soon, and actually begin producing benefits. But, Iran is a rock around our proverbial necks. The prolonged conflict is hurting the everyday American, and no one should even attempt to deny. POTUS--and the public--need to understand, and be told the truth that some young men and women will lose their lives to secure all of our long-term safety. The fantastic folks who serve us all know what they are asked when they enlist. This is why they (the 1-2% that serve) are special. They all deserve our gratitude and support. They also deserve full backing, and the ability to perform their jobs while being led by competent leadership. I'm not as concerned about the competency of our military leadership. But, regardless of Administrations, I've been concerned about our political leadership's convictions and actual willingness to win for a long time. It's not a new problem. If you're sending our folks into harm's way, send them under true reasons, back them 110%, and then get out of the way except to supply them with everything they need. Give them clear mission objectives, and then act like you want to win. I am NOT a warmonger. As someone who has experienced combat, I'm actually almost opposite. But, preparation and having the 'bigger stick' is still the best way to avoid major conflicts. Once you're in one, stop half arsing it.

Well, I think $300 billion is way too much, but we did rebuild Iraq ($140 billion), Afghanistan ($150 billion), and under the Marshall Plan, rebuilt Europe ($150 billion equivalent) after WWII. So let’s overreact because it’s Trump. Also, I watched the news this morning, and there was no mention of money. $300 billion???? We have given almost $200 billion to Ukraine and we all know where that money went. Where’s the outrage?

I agree… it’s a low cost trip for both teams… Liberty would probably have to agree to go to BH… if BH is looking to avoid playing teams they run rule… but I’ll say this… IF it worked in 2026, why try and fix it. Both programs benefited at the end. Don’t recall, but I’m pretty sure it was one of the first games.

I’ve found myself watching a little bit of a lot of games. Haven’t watched a full 9 inning game but have see an inning here and there on a lot of games.

The Golden Era is here! 👏👏👏

The belt is staying in Orange!

Yes. At least one

Paid $3.59 @ HEB in Lumberton yesterday.

Milwaukee up 10-1 on UCF heading to the 6th. Hold on to the lead and they will be the first 4 seed this year to be 2-0.

Yeah we played well. Only gave up a hit in game one

Dang so close… London will be 4a next year. I was rooting for yall

So many games it's hard to decide which one to watch. Wish they played an extra week with 32 reginal sites playing best of 3 like the supers. Could space things out a bit more. No it will likely not happen and an extra week added to the season is highly unlikely.

Katy wins 7-2

Very few players on the roster eligible to return as it was an extremely senior heavy roster. Nice to see the team make a regional for the first time in 16 years. Great resources for a SLC school so hope the program can start winning a bit more consistently. Also, hope to have the new hire announced by tomorrow and start moving forward with what will likely be an essentially rebuilt roster. I know a guy in the conference that rebuilt from nothing with absolutely no NIL in the program, but quite sure many quality names are in the mix. The guy from Blinn mentioned earlier by a poster has a tremendous resume. All we can do now is hide and watch. Will truly miss Hatten as we were students together years ago and he and others allowed me to assist with summer camps when I coached high school ball. Great guy and quite entertaining when he was angry during a game, which occurred basically when a game was being played. Lol My old man, my brother, and I will have our lawn chairs ready for the 3rd base line in 2027 for the best few months of the year See all 3 or 4 of you at the Beck next season. Hit em where they ain't!

Coach Kenneth Skidmore passed away Friday. He led Hull-Daisetta to the 1979 1A State Championship. Funeral Services are Saturday, June 6th at First Baptist Church Mont Belvieu. Visitation at 9:28 and service following at 10:58. Graveside service at Evergreen Cemetery in Percilla/Grapeland.

Yes, very convincing win. Alvarez is Alvarez. Walker has been on fire. For me, Peña’s bat, glove, and speed on the base paths has been awesome to watch. Paredes has been great too. Did I just congratulate the whole team? Lol

9 seed Southern Miss was the first national seed to be eliminated

Final results on Lamar’s season positives winning record 2nd in SLC and a terrific comeback to win the conference tournament made it to a regional and scored some runs negatives one of the worst pitching staffs I have seen in a long time
