The NY Times - House Directs Trump to Halt War With Iran or Secure Congress’s Approval

15 Sep 2026

The House on Tuesday voted for a third time to direct President Trump to end the war in Iran or seek explicit authorization to continue it, delivering another bipartisan rebuke to his handling of the conflict as fighting in the region continues and American voters increasingly disapprove.

Seven Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the resolution, which does not carry the force of law but seeks to compel the administration to either halt the operation or win a vote of Congress approving it. ...

Lawmakers voted 220 to 204 in favor of the resolution ...

Hey Trump, Vance,
Your toothless subservient GOP wants the SMO to go.
( P.S We promise not to impeach you, and depend on your good graces with MAGA for midterms )

Yeh Right, that will work !

Key problem is that you can break things such that can never be put back together.
Iran will want a very high price, including compensation, and no hinderance to their influence and power in Arabia.

Obama deal was amazing compared to what awaits America now.

US President Donald Trump has said fears about the safety of artificial intelligence (AI) are a "hoax", as he criticised calls to have more guardrails in place for the fast-moving technology.

It comes after Jack Clark, co-founder of AI giant Anthropic, told the BBC that a "kill switch" that can be checked by a third party may need to be mandatory for the industry.

The NY Times - Live Updates: Fed Raises Interest Rates to Fight Persistent Inflation (free link)

breaking

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023, by a quarter of a percentage point, and suggested more increases could follow.

The move puts its new leader, Kevin Warsh, at odds with President Trump.

Cue another Trump Tirade 🙄

Probably another "he's not the person I interviewed" whinge incoming. Trump will be spewing.

Trump simply doesn't understand the effect his Operation Epstein Fury has caused, indeed all of his incompetence has caused.

I guess our rates might have additional upwards pressure too.

And Speaker Johnson has adjourned the House early for the mid-term election campaign, so an impeachment vote for Hegseth cannot proceed. Dishonest cheat.

and another tantrum ...

AlterNet - Trump Throws a Tantrum at Kennedy Center Board Meeting

16 Sep 2026

The loudest performance at the Kennedy Center this week was not on any stage.

Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio, who serves on the Kennedy Center board, said Trump spent nearly 10 minutes berating her Tuesday night.

The “tantrum” came after a federal judge thwarted his latest attempt to slap his name on the building.

Beatty said the president called her an obstructionist, dumb, incompetent, and told her she had never done anything except file a lawsuit against him.

She then told Trump that he had more bankruptcies than anyone else in the room, and that he’s killing people through war and high grocery costs.

The outburst came after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper rejected the board’s effort to plaster the building with the words “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.”

Cooper wrote that Congress made clear that the building could be named only for President Kennedy.

Trump responded by declaring that the Kennedy Center would close at once and that he would not begin the renovation he had promised until the courts approved the name change.

The board then voted to shut the venue down for repairs because if Trump can’t have his name on something, no one gets to have it at all.

At least Fed chairman Kevin Warsh is unusual in Washington DC for still having a spine.

Frankly I don't know if the fed chairman fiscal policies are correct. When I doubt I use Trump as a reverse barometer. It Trump says "low", I think "high"

For those who may have missed: Trump’s pressure on the Federal Reserve has been a recurring pattern: he demands lower interest rates, attacked Fed chairs who didn’t comply, and tried to shape monetary policy through media pressure, personnel choices, and direct criticism.

Regrading "Operation Epstein Fury", the Iran War is a success, in the same way that 2012 University of Pittsburgh student Adam Busby Jr. called in a bomb threat using TOR to get out of an exam.

Adam Busby Jr didn't have to attend exam, but he did receive a four‑year prison sentence. Maybe Trump will get the same.

.

The Fed OMC is a committee decisions, Warsh is but one of 12 votes, the terms are 14 years long and one rotates every 2 years, Trump doesn't get to play god with it .. and he knows that hence this comment this morning...

"I talked to Kevin and I said, 'you might as well vote with the board because it's not going to matter,'" Trump told reporters Wednesday evening.

Knowing that - if indeed Trump can be said to know anything at all - didn't stop him from trying to put Jerome Powell out of a job. In fact, isn't he still on the board? Just not chairman anymore?

The NY Times - Trump Blames Ukraine for Global Diesel Shortage

14 Sep 2026

President Trump on Sunday called on President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine to end strikes on Russian oil refineries, blaming the attacks for a global diesel shortage.

“Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing: He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” Mr. Trump told reporters from the sidelines of the Amgen Irish Open, which was held at his golf course in Doonbeg, Ireland, over the weekend.

Words fail me 😶

That conversation probably occurred with one of the voices in Trump's addled mind, rather than in the real world.

Um, petrochemicals are sanctioned, so the majority of countries would not be buying diesel or oil from Russia. Trump again blaming someone else instead of accepting responsibility for the mess he has created.

Me thinks it might have more to do with Operation Epstein Fury. A quick Google search suggests the same.

A shame the reporters didn't have the balls to challenge Trump; they probably feared being told they were fat or ugly or you're a nasty person.
