Hormuz Deal, Gaza Fighting, Michigan Socialists, Populism Fails

A Strait of Hormuz Deal Could Enrich Iran The United States, Oman, and Iran are negotiating a potential agreement that could impose fees on oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.  The Gaza Peace Plan Is Already in Trouble Renewed fighting between Israel and Hamas threatens the administration's plan for rebuilding Gaza. Hamas remains committed to terrorism, and additional Iranian revenue could provide more support for Hamas and Hezbollah. Michigan Democrats Embrace the Socialist Left The victories of Abdul El-Sayed and William Lawrence show the growing influence of college-educated white progressives inside the Democratic Party. Republicans now have an opportunity to make a stronger economic and cultural appeal to Black and Hispanic voters. Voters Reject Populist Ballot Measures Missouri voters preserved the state income tax, Kansas rejected direct elections for Supreme Court justices, and Georgia Democrats failed to remove conservative state justices. These results show that populist ideas often perform better online than they do at the ballot box.   Text ERICK to 33-777 for "Show Notes" and to stay updated on all things Erick Erickson. www.erickerickson.com https://www.youtube.com/@ewerickson  https://rumble.com/ewerickson  Stay grounded, stay informed, and keep the faith.
