The Paul Brothers & the Declining American Empire

The situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate – something that has never happened before!! The Houthis are escalating their conflict with Saudi Arabia, Trump is still lying about negotiations with Iran, and gas prices are still too high. In other news, Gavin Newsom and Jake Tapper pretended to be normal people in a recent interview, and a Democrat in Ohio is running a new ad with the bold and innovative strategy of throwing trans people under the bus.
