Just a Thought

This thought below is my {Diane Sori) thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com    
 
[[[ Whether some want to hear it or not, what I post here is fully documented and verified. I start by saying that Trump said these things and more yesterday during a Long Island rally for Republican candidates in the gubernatorial and congressional elections in New York State. 
 
“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States." So I guess Trump now thinks he can negate international maritime law!
 
Also at the rally, Trump acknowledging the economic effects the war has had here at home. Trump said that ensuring Iran could not build a nuclear weapon was worth paying “a tiny little bit more for your gasoline," adding that “When you have to pay a little bit more, you’re at $4. It’s okay,” and “I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”
 
Folks, that's $4 for REGULAR...imagine what PREMIUM, HIGH TEST, and DIESEL will cost!!!
 
And what happened to last summer's taking out Iran's nuclear plants...didn't that end their nuclear programs...what they want and desire now are two different things...or is the reality of NOT having finished the job last summer as Israel wanted to do now coming back to haunt? To me it seems so...as Iran has yet to be defeated for defeat and a win means the enemy has surrendered! Simply, as of today, Iran has not surrendered or even come close to surrendering, and possibly never will!
 
Trump really needs to learn to shut his mouth and tone down his misplaced rhetoric and overinflated ego, because if not we Republicans could well lose not just the November midterms, but in 2028 as well...a truly scary thought indeed. ]]]

Obama Judge Hits Reverse, Gives Trump the Green Light on Somali Deportations

It's finally happened. An Obama-appointed judge has decided to uphold the law, rather than indulge her feelings about Donald Trump. Her cocktail circuit friends will surely be disappointed in her. 

So will Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5), given the litigants in the case. The case, African Communities Together v. Mullin, challenged the Trump administration's decision to terminate Somalia's TPS designation, which had been scheduled to take effect March 17. 

U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs had initially stepped in on March 13, just four days before the termination was supposed to become effective, and temporarily froze the administration's action.

As we reported earlier on RedState, Burroughs had faced an impeachment effort after refusing to clear the way for the Somali deportationsRead more, see X and photos here.

Trump says he’ll declare Strait of Hormuz a US territory after defeating Iran, during Long Island rally
Steven Nelson / NEW YORK POST
 
WASHINGTON — President Trump said Friday that he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States” after the Iran war — as he again slammed US allies for not helping break Tehran’s hold on the waterway.

“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during a Long Island rally for Republican candidates in the gubernatorial and congressional elections.

Trump acknowledged the economic effects of the nearly six-month conflict, but argued that ensuring Iran could not build a nuclear weapon was worth paying “a tiny little bit more for your gasoline.”

“When you have to pay a little bit more, you’re at $4. It’s okay,” he said. “I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”
