Online Public Relations Thoughts

 Aaron Judge, the star baseball player, said the World Baseball Classic, which pits international teams against one another is better than the World Series.  That's not what Major League Baseball wants to hear.  MLB wants to preserve the World Series as the premier playoff of the sport.  I know this because I attended early discussions over creating the WBC.  MLB may have been far more successful than it intended. 

Forgotten war.  The White House bears much responsibility for what happens in Ukraine. 

No surprise.  Trump and his advisers underestimated Iran's military capability and desire to fight.  Now, Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point for much of the world's energy supplies.    Trump can bluster all he wants and Hegseth can continue to cite statistics but if the tankers don't go through, the world suffers.

Trump and Hegseth can't seem to agree on the duration of the war.  Trump himself is sending conflicting signals.  Not a way to communicate to voters and allies.

This mocks Trump's desire to have input on the new leader of Iran.  Nothing short of boots on the ground and all-out war will accomplish what Trump wants and even then, regime change is never certain.  Trump is a fool playing President.

He won't listen.  The shovel is in the ground.
