The Iranian people achieved decisive victory against America’s criminal war on them

The Iranian people achieved decisive victory against America’s criminal war on them

The Chicago Tribune’s editorial ‘There has been no victory yet for the Iranian people’ represents an astonishing betrayal of the urgent need to condemn President’s criminal war on Iran. The Trib’s focus is not on the 42,000 Iranian buildings damaged or destroyed, of which 36,000 were residential homes. The No mention of the school bombed killing over 150 little girls, among over 3,000 dead Iranians Trump murdered in his senseless war. Absent was any mention the US began the war with a heinous war crime, greenlighting Israel’s assassinating Iranian ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Stating the Trib was “relieved” Trump didn’t kill off Iranian civilization as threatened, a genocidal war crime, without the most urgent of condemnations is deplorable.

The Trib states both the US and Iran declaring victory is “hardly surprising.” That certainly applies to Trump’s America which can never admit defeat, but not Iran. They punched back with astonishing effectiveness. Their tens of thousands of well-hidden missiles shot down US planes, sent aircraft carriers scurrying beyond their range, badly damaged US Gulf States bases requiring thousands of US personnel to be relocated to hotels.

Result? Trump cried uncle and entered into a tenuous ceasefire without achieving a single of the shifting war objectives.

Worse yet? The US war failure shut down the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off a fifth of the worldwide oil supply. This has sent the world economy teetering toward recession, if not depression.

Trump’s acceptance of Iran’ s 10 point ceasefire plan as a basis for upcoming negotiations verifies Trump’s catastrophic loss. It requires end to US criminal war with no further attacks on Iran, Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities and defensive missile arsenal. US to leave the Middle East. US to end all sanctions on Iran. US to pay reparations for war damage.

Most disappointing in the Trib’s Iran war editorial is regurgitating Trump’s “three justifiable reasons....for this war” All three are nonsense. Did it occur to the Trib Editorial Board that if those reasons were truly justifiable, the Trib should be encouraging Trump to press on to total victory?

The editorial concludes “that inevitably leads us to an accounting that little has been achieved. A hollow victory at a heavy price.” Indeed, nothing was achieved but senseless death and destruction, the US possibly on the way out of the region, and the world economy in jeopardy from the US handing over the Strait of Hormuz to an emboldened and soon to be prosperous Iran.

Sure sounds like a resounding Iranian victory and US loss to this observer.

Trump’s vaunted 14 day ceasefire barely lasted 14 hours

 Trump’s vaunted 14 day ceasefire barely lasted 14 hours

Israel, not happy that Trump abandoned their lust to destroy Iran as a hegemonic rival, blew up the two week ceasefire Pakistan negotiated Tuesday.

How? By launching a massive bombing campaign on Beirut Lebanon killing over 200 and injuring over 500. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “The two-week ceasefire does not include Lebanon,” Trump called it “a separate skirmish. Yeah, they were not included in the deal, because of Hezbollah. Veep Vance called Iran’s claim the ceasefire included Israeli attacks on Lebanon "a misunderstanding."

Netanyahu, Trump and Vance all lied as Pakistan’s Prime Minister , Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, who mediated the ceasefire deal, said it includes Lebanon. Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, didn’t mince words in blasting US, Israeli perfidy upending the ceasefire “The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments — a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again,” He noted that President Trump announced the ceasefire by stating Iran’s 10 point proposal “was a good basis for negotiations.” Next day Trump had his press spokesperson Caroline Leveatt proclaim that Trump had the proposal “throne in the garbage.”

As a result Israel’s grisly bombardment on Beirut with Trump’s support and death weapons made a mockery of the ceasefire on Day One. Iran has announced the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed till the ceasefire is truly implemented. The world economy will continue to head downward. Thousands will suffer and die. Vance and the two amateur diplomates Jarad Kushner and Steve Witkoff he’s supervising, may fine empty Iranian chairs at the planed ceasefire negotiations in Pakistan tomorrow.

And the Big Fool in the White House, like the crazed captain demanding his troops continue crossing the impassable Big Muddy, will bellow ‘Push on.’

Trump pivots from "destroying Iranian civilization" to complete surrender in one day

 Trump pivots from "destroying Iranian civilization" to complete surrender in one day

 

Even a mentally degraded Donald Trump had to face reality. The US lost the war intended to destroy Iran as a hegemonic rival to Israel in the region.

 

He cancelled his announced war crimes to “destroy Iranian civilization” and agreed to a two week ceasefire as a prelude for negotiating permanent peace based on Iran’s 10 point peace plan. Note that is not Trump’s 15 point peace plan which would have given Trump complete victory.

 

Here’s some of what Trump’s ceasefire acknowledges.

 

A guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again.

 

A permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire.

 

An end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon and against Iranian allies.

 

The lifting of all US sanctions on Iran.

 

Iran agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

 

US to leave the Middle East

 

End to US sanctions on Iran and release of frozen Iranian assets

 

In his delusional state, Trump announced the cease fire due to his astonishing claim his “war has already met and all Military objectives, and we are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning long term PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”

 

Iran announced the ceasefire “does not signify the termination of the war. Our hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force,”

 

Major hurtles must be overcome before the ceasefire holds and genuine peace can be negotiated. Israel is horrified by this development upending their 4 decade lust to destroy its Iranian hegemonic rival. It’s reported they are still bombing Iran and Iran is retaliating. No keen observer is optimistic the ceasefire will hold.

 

But it is not likely the US, clearly defeated in every make up war aim they floated to justify criminal war that killed thousands, damaged every US base in the region, brought the worst damage to Israel in its 78 years, and is crushing the world economy, can ever restart this deranged madness.

 

But with Trump in charge…you can never say never.

Former presidents must call for end to Trump’ criminal Iran war destabilizing the world…but won’t

Former presidents must call for end to Trump’ criminal Iran war destabilizing the world…but won’t

Former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, like all ex-presidents, tend to refrain from criticizing the current White House occupant. They view themselves as members of the most exclusive American club so are loathe to excoriate their next member joining them upon leaving office. Criticizing the current president is generally political in nature, best left to those still battling in the political arena.

 

But these are no ordinary times. Current President Trump has embarked on a catastrophic war on Iran that besides needlessly killing thousands, is destabilizing the world economy. Iran wins by not losing. The US loses by not winning.

 

All US bases in the region have suffered damage, forcing thousands of US military personnel to evacuate. Israel is being bombed relentlessly by Iran and its allies Hezbollah and the Houthis from Lebanon and Yemen respectively. Not only has Iran choked off a fifth of the world’s oil supply by closing the Strait of Hormuz, they are destroying Gulf States oil production facilities.

 

Iran, Israel, the Gulf States, even the US and the rest of the world may be facing an existential crisis brought on by morally and mentally degraded Trump.

 

Instead of acknowledging his monstrous crimes against Iran and cease hostilities, Trump is double, triple, quadrupling down, threatening Stone Age destruction of Iran with war crimes against civilian infrastructure. He’s clearly become unhinged facing likely the worst self-imposed military disaster in US history, one with calamitous worldwide aftereffects.

 

We need Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden to jump into the national debate. They must call out Trump’s criminal war destabilizing the world economy in strongest words possible. They should request the International Criminal Court indict Trump for war crimes and issue a warrant for his arrest.

 

But instead of lending their status as former presidents to aid the desperate effort to end hostilities, the Former 4 are silent. And it’s not just their collegiality as former presidents preventing their speaking out. All four adhere to American Exceptualism which demands that US wars of choice are never wrong and never to be lost. All four promulgated US world dominance costing hundreds of thousands of lives having nothing whatsoever to do with US national security interests.

 

Clinton bombed Iraq after his cruel economic sanctions killed hundreds of thousands. When asked by CBS News if the half million Iraqi killed by Clinton’s sanctions were worth it, his Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said "I think that is a very hard choice, but the price we think is worth it." Clinton bombed Serbia for 78 days, killing 2,000 to create a fractured Balkans still unsettled three decades later.

 

George W. Bush launched two criminal wars that killed over half a million Iraqis and Afghans along with 7,000 Americans. Both countries remain largely failed states a quarter century on. While the Afghan Taliban booted US troops out in 2021, we’re still defiling Iraq with US troops subject to attack by Iraqis trying to replicate the Taliban’s success.

 

Barack Obama may have succeeded Bush s president, but he couldn’t succeed in removing all US troops from those two sorrowful countries or stopping US servicepersons from being killed there. Inexplicably and senselessly, Obama jumped into the Libyan civil war to oust hated strongman Muammar Ghaddafi. Result? Over 30,000 Libyans dead and another failed state thanks to US meddling. His Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gloated regarding Ghaddafi “We came, was saw, he died.” Grotesque.

 

Joe Biden was the first US president to preside over genocide. He enabled Israel’s near complete destruction of Gaza with tens of billions in genocide weapons that killed over 70,000 while destroying nearly every school, hospital and home for the remaining 2,200,000 Palestinians now living in tents and still be slaughtered by Israeli invaders.

 

Biden also provoked the Russian invasion of Ukraine by supporting Ukraine’s war killing thousands of Russian leaning Ukrainians in Ukraine Donbas. He totally dismissed Russia’s security concerns regarding NATO membership for Ukraine that could place NATO nukes on Russia’s borders. Biden knew Russia would invade but lusted to see Russia destroy itself in the process. By following Biden’s astonishing stupidity it was Ukraine that is destroying itself with over a million casualties, a shattered economy and loss forever of a fifth of its most productive territory.

 

No wonder the Former 4 remain silent as Trump rains down death and destruction thruout the Middle East and possibly blows up the world economy. To Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden, Trump is just following their blood soaked US presidential tradition.

Where are the 6 ‘Don’t follow illegal military orders’ congresspersons when we need them?

Where are the 6 ‘Don’t follow illegal military orders’ congresspersons when we need them?

Last November, six congresspersons, all military/intelligence vets, released a video telling US military and intelligence officials “You do not need to follow illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.”

President Trump was apoplectic, hinting the ‘Seditious 6 should be prosecuted, possibly even subject to the death penalty. Actually, he more than just hinted. "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH. HANG THEM, GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!”

Since the Seditious 6 were exercising free speech and referencing legal response to illegal military orders, the story vanished within days.

Fast forward 3 months. President Trump launches an illegal, immoral; indeed, criminal war on Iran. In 36 days it’s killed over 3,000, caused massive damage to the entire region including all US Gulf States bases, Iran, Israel and vital energy resources. More ominous, it’s choked off 20% of the world’s oil supply, presaging worldwide recession, possibly even depression. More ominous still, Trump has no path to victory, ensuring it will continue killing and destroying endlessly.

This represents a perfect opportunity for the Seditious 6 congresspersons to use this ghastly, illegal war to reaffirm to every service member that they can, should, must disobey Trump’s illegal orders to make criminal war on Iran.

Where are you Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep Chris Deluzio, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, and Rep Maggie Goodlander? You told military personnel to “not give up the ship.” You gave up the ship of refusing to obey illegal orders on February 28 when the war began. Thirty-six days later you are still AWOL from the urgency of reaffirming to every service person they can, should, must disobey orders to conduct criminal war.

Your silence while the Middle East, possibly the world crumbles, is deafening.

Divergent paths for 2 billionaires putting balls in holes

Divergent paths for 2 billionaires putting balls in holes

Michael Jordon became a billionaire throwing (or stuffing) big balls in 10 foot high hoops. Current wealth $3.6 billion.

Tiger Woods became a billionaire hitting little balls with a club into little holes in the grass. Current wealth $1.3 billion.

Sure is a bizarre culture that makes billionaires of men who can put balls into holes better than any other men.

Both are now retired but both turned up in the news recently under dramatically different circumstances.

First up was Tiger who incurred his fourth serious vehicle incident, over the past 17 years. The last, March 27, found him arrested for DUI after he clipped another vehicle causing serious damage to both. Tiger destroyed what remained of his golf career as player, advisor, spokesman. He’s apparently withdrawn from public view to seek treatment for personal issues.

A few days later Michael Jordan showed up in the media basking in the glory of his fabulous post basketball life as a major player in the wildly popular NASCAR circuit. In 2020 he bought in as co -founder of the NASCAR team 23XI Racing with legendary driver and three-time Daytona 500 champion Denny Hamlin.

Jordan’s off track NASCAR connection is even more amazing. Jordan filed an antitrust lawsuit in October 2024 with 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. He alleged NASCAR was being run like a monopoly, controlling which tracks were used, what car supplies were allowed, and giving teams restricted, limited charters to compete in races. In December 2025, NASCAR reached a landmark settlement giving all teams evergreen charters with improved terms. Jordan called it a game-changer. NASCAR is now the second major US sport Jordan has transformed.

During his interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Jordan, 63, was asked if he likes to drive fast. “Not me…I like to drive slow.” Jordan said he wouldn't change a thing about his life or career, embracing both his mistakes and the lessons they brought, and crediting the relationships he's built along the way as part of what shaped who he is today. "If it ends today, you know, I will have a smile on my face, 100%.

Don’t know if Tiger has ever crossed paths with fellow sports billionaire ‘His Airness’, but they certainly should now. Tiger could get some tips on how to drive safely…and how to use his billion plus to put a smile on his face.

After murdering thousands in his criminal Iran war, Trump surrendered during his address to the nation last night.

After murdering thousands in his criminal Iran war, Trump surrendered during his address to the nation last night.

No, it wasn't the unconditional surrender Trump demanded, then abandoned of Iran. It was a surrender couched as a US victory over Iran. Trump claimed he's obliterated enough of Iran's nuclear program and missile stocks to wind down the war in “2 to 3 weeks.” But inadvertently admitting Iran is far from defeated, Trump declared “"if during this period of time...If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.” Bragging about committing war crimes before the fact is not just criminal, it’s insane.

Trump’s impending victory declaration omits any mention of Iranian retaliation (other than the 13 dead US military) in which thousands of undefended missiles have decimated 13 US bases in the Gulf States, and caused massive damage throughout Israel. That presages the Gulf States will kick the unreliable US out of the region. It presages the disintegration, unraveling of Israel that is self-destructing in their lust to destroy Iran.

The reality, that Trump is either unaware of, or choses to blot out his disintegrating brain, is that he's been defeated in every war goal.

Trump didn’t obliterate Iran’s nuclear bomb program. He’s made it infinitely more likely Iran will develop the bomb before Israel drops some of their 300 on Tehran. This may be the worst self-fulfilling prophesy in history.

Trump didn't achieve regime change in Iran.

Trump didn't get Iran to surrender unconditionally or in any other way whatsoever. Iran refuses to talk to the most dishonest, duplicitous diplomatic negotiator on earth.

Trump didn't destroy Iran's missile and drone defense. Iran is likely saving its most powerful to complete their destruction of the US, Israeli war machine.

Trump didn't destroy Iran as Israel's last remaining hegemon rival in the Middle East, the primary reason he attacked on February 28.

Trump didn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz as promised. It's closure to Iran's enemies is creating worldwide economic disaster.

As Trump was spinning his inevitable colossal defeat as victory, Iranian missiles and drones were raining down on US Gulf States bases and thruout Israel. The Strait of Hormuz remained closed as gas prices continue endlessly upward.

Trump will remain trapped like the rat while killing more thousands before his cabinet invokes the 25th amendment to take away his license to kill and destroy. Or so America, the Middle East, the entire world can hope.

Netanyahu woke up on Iran war day 31 with a 3 front war he cannot win

 Netanyahu woke up on Iran war day 31 with a 3 front war he cannot win

Tho scrubbed from mainstream news, Trump attacked Iran February 28 because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pleaded, begged, demanded he do so. Trump’s top diplomat Marco Rubio revealed this when he stupidly admitted Trump knew Israel would attack Iran and had to preemptively attack as well to avoid Iran retaliation. What Rubio didn’t admit is that the Israeli attack was fully supported by the US since Israel could not attack without total US support. 

Trump and Netanyahu unprovoked war of choice had one strategy. Kill Iranian leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and watch the Iranian people depose their government and capitulate within 3 days. 

That failed spectacularly as the Iranian people responded like Americans after Pearl Harbor. Iran’s government did likewise, with relentless bombing of Israel, 13 US bases in the Gulf States and closing the Strait of Hormuz. 

If this was all that unfolded it would still represent a catastrophic loss for the Trump, Netanyahu war criminal tag team 

But for Netanyahu it gets worse. He sent his army north into Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah. That war is now going south as Hezbollah just destroyed 20 Israeli tanks in one day. Hezbollah missiles are raining down on northern Israel driving tens of thousands of Israelis from home. 

It gets worse. The Houthis who control Yemen just entered the war on Iran’s side by launching 2 strikes into Israel Saturday. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree declared Yemen bombed Israel “in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine, and in view of the continued military escalation, the targeting of infrastructure, and the perpetration of crimes and massacres against our brothers in Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Palestine."

 

In addition, the Houthis may reimpose the blockade on Israeli-linked shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. If so, the Bab el-Mandeh Strait will join the Strait of Hormuz in expanding economic disaster worldwide. 

Worse yet. Shi’ite militias in Iraq have joined the war and will be targeting US military assets in Iraq that the US has kept there for 23 years. 

When Benjamin Netanyahu goes to sleep tonight, he won’t need to count sheep to fall asleep. He just needs to count neighboring countries joining Iran’s defense against the most self-destructive criminal war this century.

Mass murderer Trump killing Iranians with bombs…killing Cubans with oil blockade

Mass murderer Trump killing Iranians with bombs…killing Cubans with oil blockade

Mainstream news coverage of Trump’s failed US war in Iran focuses on its devastating effect surging worldwide energy prices and its tanking Trump’s ratings ahead of the November midterms.

But nary a word about its grotesque criminality killing thousands of Iranians in support of Israel’s four decade quest to destroy its last hegemonic rival in the region. Virtually no mention of damage inflicted on 13 US bases in the Gulf States that presages US being pushed out of the region. Also scrubbed are revelations of widespread damage to Israel, possibly fracturing Israeli society. Absent is analysis how Trump’s international criminal gambit has failed, leaving him and his tag team war criminal partner Benjamin Netanyahu conceivably considering nukes to reverse their impending defeat.

Adding to mainstream news shameful Iran war coverage is its non-coverage of Trump’s oil blockade degrading life, inducing death among Cuba’s 10.9 million beleaguered souls. Trump has ratcheted up America’s abominable 66 yearlong embargo to destroy the 1959 Cuban revolution to a grotesque level…cutting off nearly all oil needed to sustain normal life.

Trump’s oil blockade is depleting Cuba’s fuel supply, causing blackouts, food shortages, cancelled classes, work, just about everything needed in a functioning society. Worst of all its killing Cubans by crippling Cuba’s universal health care system, one that America should have emulated decades ago. Cuban doctors report deteriorating conditions at hospitals and clinics causing many preventable deaths

Due to power blackouts, hospitals and clinics are canceling surgeries, chemotherapy, dialysis among critically needed medical care to prevent death. Ambulances have no gas to pick up the sick and injured. Pharmacy cupboards are bare. Medicine factories are shutting down. Vaccines spoil on non-working refrigerated trucks. Planes used to pick up medical supplies remain parked.

So on day 30 of Trump’s criminal war, mainstream media will keep the focus on rising gas prices, economic decline and Democrats regaining Congress in November. The death and destruction in Iran, Israel and Gulf States will be largely ignored.

And on roughly day 24,000 since the US began the embargo/blockade of Cuba in retaliation of for throwing off US colonial rulers Fulgencio Batista and United Fruit, not one word, not one picture of Cubans dying at the hands of the worst of 14 cruel US administrations.

Missiles in Israel go one way…down

 Missiles in Israel go one way…down

Israeli citizens are hunkering down in bunkers as Iranian missiles rain down on Israeli cities. Israel has largely run out of US supplied interceptors, making Israel defenseless to Iranian retaliation to Israel’s senseless criminal war on Iran. Israel’s lack of defense is allowing to Iran to save its most powerful, lethal missiles for the finale as its older, slower missiles and drones are getting thru Israel’s porous defense.

Same goes for US bases in the Gulf States as well as the Gulf States oil infrastructure. The missiles rain down but none come up to intercept. At the rate Iran is degrading both, there will be little left of US bases there and Gulf States oil treasure keeping their brutal, corrupt rulers in power.

Trump’s crazed Iran war may be collapsing in on itself. If the war ends today it will be months, possibly years before the world economy will fully recover, if ever.

Trump is trapped by his hubris, stupidity and fealty to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu whose 4 decade quest to destroy Iran may be the most catastrophic disaster in Israel’s 78 year history. Since he could only attack Iran with all out US support from his puppet Donald Trump, the unfolding catastrophic disaster may be the worst in America’s 250 years as well.

Netanyahu and Trump failed to heed the wise aphorism ‘Be careful what you wish for…you might get it.’

Hegseth cool boss…allows Iran war service personnel to work remotely

Hegseth cool boss…allows Iran war service personnel to work remotely

Tho demonized by his antiwar critics as a deranged war monger, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is a caring, people oriented boss. He's allowing non-combatant service personnel in the region to work remotely instead of having to traipse into their base office. Some are as remote as Europe.

Oh wait…Hegseth is not allowing personnel to work remotely. He’s forcing them to because their work places on US bases are being decimated by Iranian missiles making them uninhabitable and too dangerous to occupy. They’re now working remotely from hotels and office buildings in the Gulf States

But risk of attack will follow them relentlessly. Iran is requesting local supporters to report where US military are holed up supporting Trump and Hegseth’s criminal war blowing up the Middle East and possibly the world economy. This will likely make their remote work sites subject to Iranian attack

So don’t expect Hegseth to tout his humane, nurturing treatment of his employees bogged down in his lost war on Iran. He knows that more will be needlessly injured or killed until the Gulf States push his military out of the region to stop Iranian attacks now engulfing them.

That day cannot come soon enough.

Kustra commentary ignores US criminality in Iran war to promote renewed US involvement in lost Ukraine war

Kustra commentary ignores US criminality in Iran war to promote renewed US involvement in lost Ukraine war

 

Bob Kustra’s Chicago Tribune op ed ‘Donald Trump’s war on Iran masks his support of Vladimir Putin’ represents an astonishing pivot from addressing possibly the most catastrophic criminal war in US history to promoting renewed US involvement in the lost war in Ukraine

 

To Kustra, Trump’s war in Iran is not the supreme international crime, just a diversion initiated by Trump to deflect the media from the Ukraine war.

 

Kustra ignores 14 years of US provocations seeking to march NATO and its nukes up to Russia’s borders with Ukraine, to put all the blame for the current war on Russia. Then he suggests the US jump back into this lost war with “stronger action” a meaningless suggestion detached from reality. Trump has correctly abandoned the Ukraine war, letting European NATO members bankrupt themselves giving Ukraine weapons having no impact on Russia’s impending victory whatsoever.

 

Trump is a monstrous war criminal killing thousands bombing 7 countries and now likely crashing the world economy over Iran. But he was sensible enough to dump predecessor Biden’s colossal blundering into war destroying Ukraine, possibly and thankfully dissolving NATO 35 years after the Soviet Union went poof.

 

Kustra ends by lamenting the real lesson of Trump’s criminal war blowing up the Middle East is that it “suits Trump just fine as he avoids any responsibility for deserting Ukraine as it continues to fight off the war criminal Putin.”

 

Time for Bob Kustra to take a remedial course in Political Science 101.
