As winter turns to spring in 2026, American politics is experiencing a bit of economic-messaging déjà vu from the Trump administration.
Much like last year at this time, the president has leapt headlong into a major new undertaking that threatens to rock an already-wobbly economy. And much like last year, the administration is asking Americans to accept some “short-term pain” for promised long-term gain.
In 2025, it was tariffs. In 2026, it’s the war with Iran.


If you think your OWN military is a direct threat to you and you AREN’T taking action, I’m not sure what to tell you.
“There are activist doing things” is some Trump speak. Nobody is doing a damn thing.
