DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday backtracked on plans to charge ships for using the Strait of Hormuz, saying Gulf countries would instead invest in the United States. Another wave of U.S. strikes on Iran, and Iranian attacks on shipping and American allies, left an interim peace deal in tatters.

That agreement was supposed to reopen a waterway that is key to world energy supplies and give negotiators time to hammer out a permanent end to the war. Instead, fighting has once again engulfed the region, threatened the global economy and brought warnings to commercial airlines.

    A good start would be to claw back every penny paid to DOGE to gut our government, and prosecute everyone involved - yes, definitely including Musk - for the blatant violations of information-sharing laws they committed. It was downright theft of people’s personal information.

    Throw these scumbags trying to break our country into prison for the rest of their lives.
