PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LYING ABOUT IRAN

TRUMP IS NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH THE PUBLIC

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump is not being straightforward with the American public.

President Trump praised the Iran deal that was made at the G-7 summit.  We are going to have more sanctions on Russia.  These sanctions are only going to hurt the poor in Russia's access to medical supplies, water, and food, all vital to survival.  Dictator Putin is not going to be affected by the sanctions and is still going to live a great life.  I know exactly how to stop Russia.  You need to put a bullet in Putin's head and kill him.

As for the Iran deal, it seems like we are making deals with terrorist regimes now.  I would suspect that Iran already has a nuclear weapon.  They are going to use it on Israel in the coming months, weeks, days, possibly even years.

I am very concerned as a Libertarian that there is no news on the Iran deal.  I will believe Iran has given up nuclear weapons when they stop threatening Israel and the rest of the world.  As always, comments are accepted.

AT G-7 SUMMIT UKRAINE IS NOT A CONCERN

 UKRAINE IS NOT A CONCERN FOR THE WORLD

By: Derek Varsalona

I am sad to say it, but the future of the nation of Ukraine is not a concern for most of the world.  It will never be.  

That is because most of the European nations acquire their oil resources through Russia.  They need to be friendly to Russia in order to acquire oil.  If that means to screw over Ukraine, then so be it.  That seems to be the case at the G-7 Summit and is probably the reason why the European nations do not want Ukraine in NATO.

President Trump is on a 3-day meeting in France on a Summit.  But what is surprising is that the world leaders heard a 15-minute meeting on the future of Ukraine.  That lack of respect for Ukraine and its security tells the whole picture, and that the world values profits from Russian oil and greed over national security for Ukraine.  As always, comments are accepted.

PEACE DEAL IS REACHED BETWEEN IRAN AND TRUMP

 PEACE DEAL REACHED BETWEEN US AND IRAN

By: Derek Varsalona

Excuse me, but I was wrong about the United States and Iran.  I have said that both sides want constant war since it drives up oil prices, and greedy politicians can make a profit.  I was wrong, a peace deal has been reached between Iran and the United States.

The peace deal will be signed on Friday.  Maybe people need to hammer out the final details of the deal before it can be signed.  Now the Straight of Hormuz is reopened.  I am looking for inflation to go down rapidly.  The peace deal will be signed on Friday.  

This is a great way to start the week.  There is an old Catholic hymn, "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." Maybe people were listening to that hymn when the deal was signed.  This is a great day for America and the rest of the world.  The Straits of Hormuz are reopened. 

I expect gas prices and inflation to go down shortly.  It is going to take some time, but I say by next week the gas prices should be going down.  As always, comments accepted.

IS A PEACE DEAL ON THE HORIZON BETWEEN TRUMP AND TEHRAN?

Is a DEAL  within reach?

By: Derek Varsalona

I am not sure if both the United States and Iran ever will achieve peace.  You see, my friends, the world loves a great war.  The media loves it since covering the war gives great ratings to all news media outlets.  My blog does not rely on ratings.  But when my viewership on my blog goes up, depending on the issues covered, that is kind of like ratings.

President Trump claims that an agreement will be signed by today.  If that happens, I predict that oil prices will go down and the American and world economy will go into an economic boom.  The feeling will not be immediate; it will take time to fully develop.  I would say we should see a bounce back in the economy in two weeks, so your next paycheck for most people. 

President Trump claims this will be a virtual signing.  I disagree with this.  Yes, I want a signing of peace, but a virtual signing is a coward's way out.  They are not even man enough to own up to the fact and meet in person.   The virtual signing will be met by an immediate 60-day negotiation.  That seems rather long, but I still want to give peace a chance.  As always, comments accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NAME TO BE REMOVED FROM KENNEDY CENTER TODAY

 TRUMP'S NAME TO COME OFF KENNEDY CENTER

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump's name is to be taken off the Kennedy Center today.  This is a sad day when the name of the greatest President in history is taken off the Kennedy-Trump Center.  In reality, having Trump's name on the Center is only fitting since it is honoring both men who were shot.  Trump's survived; Kennedy didn't.  A live camera is across the street.  I predict that someone will be shot taking the name down today.  Yes, politics has gotten that bad.

I believe that it was Kennedy's advisors who had him killed.  Who tells the President to go down the streets of Dallas in an open convertible limo?  Especially if you are the President of the United States, you are just asking to be killed.  People tell me, Derek, it was a different time then.  But with the Vietnam War raging and the Cubans and Fidel Castro wanting to kill him, it almost seems possible that Kennedy would be shot at or rubbed out.  Maybe they wanted him dead since Kennedy acted more like a Conservative Democrat in those days?  I heard someone say, not me, that if a Liberal showed up in the 1950's-60's they be considered a Conservative Republican.  If a liberal shows up today, they are completely nuts.  As always, comments accepted.

POWER HUNGER DONALD TRUMP GOT THE WAR HE WANTED

 A MEANINGLESS CEASEFIRE

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump has lied to the world and his constituents, the American people.  He claims to want a ceasefire but continues to attack Iran in a never-ending war.  The war is illegal since Congress is the one that has the right to declare war, not the President of the United States.  I am not calling for the impeachment of President Trump; they tried that before, and it did not work out.  I also think that President Trump is the greatest president that ever lived.

Anyone could have told you the ceasefire would never work.  Not when you have two power-hungry countries and eccentric rulers in President Trump and Ayatollah Khomeini. Both men are power-hungry and ego-centric.  This is a battle of wills and a battle for power.  

The main reason why President Trump is in Iran is that he wants to get control of their oil resources.  That is what this is all about.  In his mind, to bring gasoline prices down, he must control the oil.  The same concept led America to take out Saddam Hussein under President George W. Bush.  As always, comments are accepted.

GRAHMAN PLANTER WINS SENATE PRIMARY

 GRAHAM PLANTER WINS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

By: Derek Varsalona

The media can either make or break you.  Sometimes, too much media exposure on a bad public smear campaign is not good.  Sometimes it makes you win the Maine Democratic Primary.  With all of the controversies swirling around Senate nominee Graham Planter, it just might help him win the election.  Even bad press is good press since it gets your name out in the public.  The media was trying to destroy Planter.  He actually won the primary due to all the media exposure.

Graham Planter has a questionable tattoo, which might be a sign of the Nazis and other hate groups.  But what someone puts on their body is none of the government's business.  The people have decided what they want.  It seems with all the negative media attention to Senate Nominee Planter, he just might win.  As always, comments accepted.

Graham for Maine.
