Without questions, we don’t get answers. Amid the swirl of opinions being thrown around in today’s world, what I call a mix of news and hysteria, how often are we actually going through the process of breaking down the plethora of opinions to be able to come up our own rational thoughts about what makes sense? I try to take a current news story and present both sides in a rational way. Opinions formed? Yes. But a little better understanding of what makes sense.

President Trump says peace in Iran has been largely negotiated. The Straight of Hormuz is mentioned, not nuclear weapons. Iran says it looks like a 30-60 day window to finalize that. Can we trust either side at this point to tell the truth?

President Trump made a speech billed today as economic. It turned out to be a list of his accomplishments. We fact checked. Promises made, promises broken?

Meta has fired 10% of its workforce. Remember when it said AI wouldn’t cost jobs? It’s not just the 8,000 at Meta but it’s happening elsewhere as well. Is the Tech sector in full restructure mode? Who can we believe anymore?

President Trump’s success in defeating GOP Senate adversaries may come back to bit him in the butt. There is a growing number, Yolo Caucus, who oppose a number of his desires. Epstein files one of them. Will we now see them?

VP Vance says Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon because it would have a domino effect and start a weapons race. President Trump filing precludes the IRS from anymore investigation of Trump tax returns. Is this crazy?

The DOJ has announced a settlement in the Trump lawsuit against the IRS. It says DOJ was weaponized under the Biden administration. Critics say it is a slush fund to pay the January 6th capitol invaders $1million apiece.

President Trump has said it out loud, he doesn’t think about Americans financial situations when it comes to Iran. He has doubled down on it. Critics call it a truth bomb. How long will his supporters go along with this?

President Trump has said a couple things that might give people pause. Taiwan is a bargaining chip with China. Senator Cassidy is disloyal. Is he turning his back on Taiwan for some business deal? Don’t Kings or Oligarchs demand loyalty?

After the Trump-Xi bilateral meeting in China, are there any deals on Taiwan or Iran. The only announced deal is Boeing jet sales. Did Trump have any success?Click icon or edbaxternews.com or where you get podcasts.

The DOJ is now going after Yale Medical School saying it is discriminating against White and Asian applicants. Is there anyway to admit people of color to the program without taking away the spot of deserving whites and Asians?
