I must be wrong since a HUGE majority predict that it will be the largest landslide victory ever in the midterms—with the DEMs gaining the massive win and the House + Senate; however, as bad as the GOP is, I still ‘Feel’ that the GOP will keep the House and Senate.
The 26-page letter claims victory on behalf of Iran in the ongoing conflict initiated Feb. 28, 2026, by U.S. President Donald Trump. Notably, the letter is explicitly addressed to “the honorable people of the United States of America — the scholars, the students, and the members of the media.”
Iran has won the war!?!?! Er, OK. A 26-page letter to the “honorable people of the United States of America” claiming that the Iranian chant “Death to America” is “misunderstood, insisting the phrase is directed at American political leadership and not the American people at large.”
Not a biggie indicator, but Iran is clearly suffering in this letter, i.e., Trump is holding on—even with many GOP voters not pleased with much of anything from him. Yes, gas is up here in my area of Florida, but $6 extra for a full tank of gas isn’t that bad either, IMHO, and note that I get less than one thousand Gringo Dollars a month in SS.
Midterms are close and Trump could still screw the “holding” up, but I don’t think so…so to speak whilst predicting.
You’ll likely find today’s lead editorial from the WSJ interesting.
