Greetings! Bad news for Trump? The conservative editorial board of the Wall Street Journal opines that the President won’t win this war if higher oil prices leads him to halt the bombing.  “The regime for now thinks it can outlast the U.S.,” the editors wrote.  “On Sunday it chose Mojtaba Khamenei as its new Supreme Leader, succeeding his father. The younger Mr. Khamenei sends a message of no compromise—to Iran’s own citizens or Mr. Trump”...Gag alert: A new book puts Donald Trump on the same pedestal as Abraham Lincoln and FDR.  Lincoln, Roosevelt, Trump: Three Profiles in World-Historical Leadership, studies all three presidents.

The amped up Sec. of War was the butt of jokes in the  Saturday Night Live cold open, featuring Colin Jost as Hegseth. The joke that best captured mucho-macho Hegseth's false bravado was when a reporter asked him if there would be boots on the ground.
