Excellent analysis as usual.

Re Iran: Trump has no good options. And being transactional, having no long term plan, and no allies, he will almost have to end this “war” or “police action” with the terrorist regime intact. That means we all lose.

Re El-Sayed: the Democrat party continues to underestimate the radical hard left within, and its leaders fear it. Worse—they fear it and hide from it, effectively appeasing it. Appeasement doesn’t have a great success track record.

Re Max Miller: another example of failing to vet and research those seeking elected office. Another failure of basic management and leadership at all levels. This guy would never have lasted in the private sector. Not just background checks and references, the Human Resources department would have crucified him before the first paycheck!

Re the flock cameras: please stay on this as well. Already stated my position in another War Notes post.

Trump's result because he follows reverse of TR.Trump talks loudly and carries a small stick gave up on war very early. Can't fight wars by remote control. His attack on Obama JCPOA is ridiculous-an imperfect document but Trump worse makes red lines repeatedly and never backs them up. Don't go to war or fight one and bragging too early about his victories big problem for US. Never had those victories why brag about them.

I have no direct knowledge of the Moreno, Miller fight. Take away that FIL Sen trying to help his daughter in a custody dispute and Congressman has others saying action maybe fishy from experience-but where were they before-before custody dispute blew up.

Very tough even for local law enforcement Sen taking one side in dispute, Congressman other side.

I'm worried by Republicans and the Democrats, I agree with you that Republicans are not dealing with the new democrat wave effectively. Novemer looms. If Maxwell is forced to drop out, who might his successor be? This is a major concern. I'm trying to hang onto hope that Trump/U.S. will prevail in Iran, tho it seems questionable. And, I'm on the fence when it comes to Flock cameras. Looking forward to tonight!
