We are now one month into the War with Iran.

As of today, I still don’t know a rationale for being there. The president has yet to make his case to Congress or the American people. That is no way to get buy-in.

Unfortunately, President Trump doesn’t care about what allies feel. Congress is as much in the dark as ordinary citizens only with a briefing that tells what is going on not why. And why is the one thing we all need to know for this to be sustainable and Americans to be willing to sacrifice…even a little.

Trump talks to the press all the time. It is usually gibberish and mostly lies. What he says at the beginning of an interview about something can and often will be contradicted by him by the end.

When he brings the country to a war costing us $2 billion per day, he owes it to us to tell us why. Not bombastically but the plain simple truth without blaming Biden, or England, or going off topic. How I miss those Oval Office addresses of other presidents.

We have our columnists including David Hafner, Stacy Ranieri, Frank Valenti, Bill West, and Andy Noble. Our resident MDs, Michele Libman and Louis Velazquez, explain mind and body. Our newest columnist, Brent Hanlon, reviews Lynora’s in Palm City. The Martin County Taxpayers Association has Part III on real estate taxes.

Sit back, have another cup of coffee, and settle in with this week’s edition.    

Have a great Sunday Morning!
