There is only one prime conflict among humanity, the struggle between the few that have power, and the many that don't. Every other conflict helps to distract the powerless from uniting against the powerful.
Why are Democrats using Iran's talking points??? They can be against the war without siding with Iran. They choose to side with Iran
DUMP TRUMP! 🤢🤮🤢🤮
What if this Iran War turns into another Vietnam Nam war that lasts for years and the U.S. has to start drafting young men to go and fight in the war. If the war lasts 7,8,9 years without ending I think we are looking at casualties of 100,000 or more young men who will be sent to Iran as soldiers to fight and will be killed. We are definitely looking at a war needing a draft of young men to go there and fight and get killed. 100,000 young men will die in the Iran war.
NO MEANS NO
Pete Hegseth is an under qualified secretary of war. He got his promotion in military through favors not work and effort.
Donald Trump is the first president in history to think of December 7th to keep a sneak attack of nuclear warfare from happening to the United States and Israel keeping the Iranians from having any kind of a nuclear weapon
Donald Trump is the first president in history with the heroes of our country to fight a technology War were only 13 people have died and that was a freak accident !
When the Democrats go to war thousands upon thousands of our people die in this country
The Democrats have a campaign going to totally turned against all the Fantastic ideas of Donald Trump or basically spin doctor the story the other way deceiving the people of the United States of America read all comments below
they already using that stuff for long they POISONED the land! Now its sprayed in forestscamping spots ever noticed no "weeds" rfk please go you done enough harm riding the k name dont make it worse please?
Hydrogen fuel
We need hydrogen fuel is the second fuel in the United States of America instead of gasoline and oil
By having two fuels keeps us a better superpower we don't have to rely on just gasoline and oil
Hydrogen fuel has no pollution hydrogen fuel is more efficient hydrogen fuel is more powerful and the engines that they run are more reliable and Powerful as well
We need to start putting hydrogen fuel pumps in every gas station across the United States of America
We need GM and all the automakers to start putting in the hydrogen fuel system in all the vehicles
Hydrogen fuel lets you have a electrical plant in your car you can plug in extension cords camping out in the middle of nowhere you have electricity you can start up air compressors to put shingles on roofs people are going to be much happier having two fuels in the United States of America
Where's my "I DID THIS!" sticker with Trump smiling and 👉👉pointing to👈👈 :
rising gas prices, ongoing Iranian war, rising global tensions, tariffs/inflation, rising air fares, redistricting wars, etc
What is a hydrogen system electrical system in your car you could have the finest battery pack of storage of energy and as you drive your car it keeps those batteries charged up for using that energy at whatever you want to use it for these batteries are super light and these batteries are also super durable and we can start making things to run off these batteries without hardly using any energy
Gas here is $ 4.29
The war has cost Americans $25 BILLION?? Shocking amount of money. The U.S. has an infrastructure needing repair, a huge homelessness problem, addiction problem, etc. We need to spend money on Americans! End the war.
Your GP can't prescribe it for you
It appears Kennedy (MAHA) has given up/been handcuffed. Unbelievable that the U.S. can't stop the poisoning of its citizenry. Really shocking and SAD.
It’s the consumer that always gets the shaft don’t fly let them bancrup with out consumers they are no company
America vote wrong person
peoples cannot see since Trump is in power millions will stolen by a criminal
Question ❓ If we get our oil from Canada why would gas prices be this way because of Iran?
And you people talk about the Geneva convention and they got a video of Israel shooting a young man and watching him bleed out on the street. That young man didn't have a weapon. Unarmed and dead . You all funny !
I just don't see any need for a medical center or hospital underneath a ballroom. That's why there's Walter Reed hospital . And there's always medical staff available close to the president all the days of his life. And I thought the donation of 400m Dollars was all ready under control. For your ballroom improvement to the white house. Because if not you started demolition of the people's house without authority. And you should be held accountable.
