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.

A federal judge has voided the agreement between President Trump and the IRS. The agreement which set up a fund potentially for January 6 rioters, as well as giving him immunity for any wrongdoing in reporting tax payments.

US CentCom says it has launched waves of attacks on Iran. Iran has responded with attacks on multiple Middle East targets. Trump critics say this breakdown was predictable because of vague wording. Has Trump failed?

The NHTSA is warning autonomous vehicle companies to find a fix for cars that are getting in the way of emergency first responders. It says it has multiple reports from cities that lives could be endangered.

President Trump’s week included declaring the Iran cease fire over, and bombing, while continuing talks, and while asking for the Nobel Peace Prize. Also he’s letting the housing bill become law and losing E Jean Caroll rulings. Cracks in the facade?

President Trump’s latest attacks on Iran put GOP hopes of holding on to congress near “oblivion”. And his touting of a private chain of lower priced gas stations has people wondering what his involvement is. Is he profiting?

President Trump says he doesn’t want to deal with Iran’s leadership anymore. He calls them scum, violent, cuckoo. He says he will hit hard again, but says he won’t start a war. What does any of that mean? Is he the right man to lead this now?

San Francisco’s celebration of the 250th year of our independence was joyous for many but painful for many as well. A transportation meltdown. Gridlock, Waymo problems, Golden Gate Bridge closure made for hours long delays. Preventable?2

President Trump went to FIFA President Infantino to ask for a red card review. He says he doesn’t know what a red card is. Meanwhile star player Balogun is a birthright citizen. Isn’t that so ironic?

President Trump has made hundreds of millions of dollars off his memecoin, while his supporters have lost over 3 billion. Has he taken advantage of the very people who have brought him to power. Will they turn on him?

There is an ignore Trump movement for this years 250th American Independence Day. Some going as far as to not celebrate it at all. Nobody should take this away from us, not even ourselves. If you want, ignore Trump, not America’s birthday.
