>> #Vance would happily throw his in-laws under the bus.
Even more fundamental is the sense of #entitlement in JD's grievance that you missed.
>> "…for #American kids who want to go to a nice university but can't because their spot was taken by a foreign student."
"THEIR spot" reeks of entitlement, as the spot is not theirs, or anybody else's for that matter, but for those who can show that they deserve the spot.
Has #JDVance looked at test scores of American vs foreign students?
Today: Il presidente del Parlamento iraniano: "Trump sta trascinando gli Usa all'inferno, non otterrà nulla con i crimini di guerra"
Teheran avverte Donald Trump dopo le ultime minacce del presidente americano alle infrastrutture energetiche e ai ponti, se l'Iran non aprirà lo Stretto di Hormuz entro martedì. "Le tue mosse sconsiderate stanno trascinando gli Stati Uniti in un vero e proprio inferno per ogni singola famiglia, e...
The speaker of the Iranian Parliament: “Trump is dragging the US to hell, he will not get anything with war crimes.”
Tehran warns Donald Trump after the latest threats from the American president to energy infrastructure and bridges, if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday. “Your reckless actions are dragging the United States into a real hell for every single family, and…”

L'attacco preventivo contro l'Iran lanciato sabato 28 febbraio da Stati Uniti e Israele aveva l'intento di far cadere il regime, ma ora l'intera regione del Golfo Persico è nel caos. Il blocco dello stretto di Hormuz getta nello scompiglio i mercati globali
Il Tempo: "Martedì alle 20". L'ultimatum di Trump per la riapertura di Hormuz
"Martedi', alle 8 pm Eastern time". In un ultimo post su Truth il presidente americano Donald Trump dà un'ora, senza specificare se si tratti dell'ultimatum dato poco prima a Teheran o di altro. Nel post precedente il leader aveva avvertito Teheran che sempre il 7 aprile "in Iran sarà la Giornata della centrale elettrica e la giornata del ponte, tutto in uno. Non ci sarà niente di simile!!! Aprite il maledetto Stretto, pazzi bastardi, o vivrete all'inferno - Vedrete! Sia lode ad Allah", aveva scritto. La nuova scadenza, fissata alle 20 americane, le 2 di notte in Italia di mercoledì, posticiperebbe di 1 giorno l'ultimatum di Trump a Teheran. Trump ha minacciato di far saltare in aria i siti energetici iraniani se Teheran non riaprirà lo stretto di Hormuz, spingendo al contempo la Repubblica islamica ad accettare una proposta statunitense per porre fine alla guerra che prevederebbe la rinuncia al programma di arricchimento dell'uranio - una richiesta che l'Iran ha finora rifiutato.
Intanto gli Stati Uniti non abbandoneranno la guerra "nel bel mezzo del conflitto". L'ha dichiarato il presidente Usa, Donald Trump in un'intervista a Channel 12 aggiungendo che la sua amministrazione è impegnata in "profondi negoziati", condotti dagli inviati Steve Witkoff e Jared Kyshner, con l'Iran per raggiungere un cessate il fuoco. Due fonti a conoscenza dei colloqui hanno riferito all'emittente che esistono due canali di comunicazione: uno tramite la mediazione di Pakistan, Egitto e Turchia e l'altro attraverso messaggi di testo diretti tra Witkoff, Kushner e il ministro degli Esteri iraniano Abbas Araghchi. I ministri degli Esteri dei Paesi mediatori stanno cercando di far concordare alle parti una serie di misure che consentirebbero a Trump di posticipare la scadenza. Secondo le fonti hanno avuto conversazioni telefoniche con Kushner e Witkoff che però non hanno avuto l'esito sperato. Trump ha dichiarato a Channel 12 di credere che ci siano "buone possibilità" che si raggiunga un accordo prima della scadenza di martedì, "ma se non lo raggiungono, farò saltare tutto in aria". Alla domanda se sia preoccupato di danneggiare i civili in Iran che vorrebbe veder insorgere e rovesciare il regime, Trump ha risposto che "vivono nella paura". "Temono che ce ne andremo nel bel mezzo della guerra, ma non ce ne andremo", conclude.
Tuesday at 8 PM. Trump’s ultimatum for the reopening of Hormuz.
Tuesday, at 8 pm Eastern time. In a final post on Truth, the American president Donald Trump gives an hour, without specifying whether it is the ultimatum given shortly before to Tehran or something else. In the previous post, the leader had warned Tehran that on April 7th “in Iran will be the Day of the Power Plant and the Day of the Bridge, all in one. There will be nothing like this!!! Open the cursed Strait, you crazy bastards, or you will live in hell - You’ll see! Praise be to Allah”, he had written. The new deadline, set at 8 pm American time, 2 am in Italy on Wednesday, would postpone Trump’s ultimatum to Tehran by one day. Trump has threatened to blow up Iranian energy sites if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while simultaneously pushing the Islamic Republic to accept a U.S. proposal to end the war that would involve renouncing the uranium enrichment program – a demand that Iran has so far refused.
Meanwhile, the United States will not abandon the war “in the midst of the conflict.” The U.S. president, Donald Trump, declared this in an interview with Channel 12, adding that his administration is engaged in “deep negotiations,” conducted by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with Iran to reach a ceasefire. Two sources familiar with the talks told the broadcaster that there are two communication channels: one through the mediation of Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, and the other through direct text messages between Witkoff, Kushner, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The foreign ministers of the mediating countries are trying to get the parties to agree on a series of measures that would allow Trump to postpone the deadline. According to sources, they had telephone conversations with Kushner and Witkoff, but these did not yield the desired result. Trump told Channel 12 that there are “good chances” that an agreement will be reached before Tuesday’s deadline, “but if they don’t reach it, I’ll blow it up.” When asked if he was worried about harming civilians in Iran that he would like to see rise up and overthrow the regime, Trump replied that “they live in fear.” “They fear that we will go in the middle of the war, but we won’t,” he concludes.

The #American #War against #Iran is costing about $1,000,000,000 a day, approximately. I have paid income #taxes to the #US government for 52 years now. Adding up all the taxes I've paid over the years, my cumulative contribution to the US Treasury would pay for approximately 38 seconds of the war.
Seriously, the amount I paid in income taxes, if I got it back, would buy a nice house, or fund a nice retirement, or allow me and my wife to take a series of wonderful vacations.
Nope, 38s.
⚡#US 🇺🇸 forces conducted a rescue operation for an #American 🇺🇸 airman in #Iran 🇮🇷. The operation involved rescuing a second pilot who was injured and hiding in a mountain crevice, and it mobilized hundreds of special forces personnel and dozens of #American 🇺🇸 combat planes and helicopters, as reported by the New York Times.
