The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Marco Rubio says U.S. expects Iran response on peace deal ‘today’

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. is expecting a response on Friday from Iran on the proposal to end the war.

“We should know something today. ... We’re expecting a response from them,” Rubio told reporters in Rome on Friday.

The comments come after reports that Iran and the U.S. were nearing a 14-point memorandum of understanding to put an end to the war.

Iran hawks erupt over terms of Trump’s peace proposal

The reported terms of a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the Iran war spurred a swift backlash from allies of President Trump who have cheered on his fight against the Islamic Republic.

Prominent conservative media figures and pro-Israel advocates spoke out against the deal, which would end Iran’s nuclear enrichment for a limited period and keep the regime in place, with U.S. sanctions scaled back over time.

An interesting contest. Which will win the war in Trump's mind, the money he pockets from the Israel lobby, the threat of videos from Epstein's honey pot, or seeing himself being burned in effigy by MAGA, over the price of gas.
