He's stuck in a vicious - no make that a ridiculous - cycle with these towel heads...

President Trump announced new talks with Tehran will begin Monday after he called off a “massive” attack on Iran that had been planned this weekend. Appeals from several Gulf state allies - along with Iran itself - led Trump to stand down. Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud spoke privately with the president on Saturday.

“I was asked to by Saudi Arabia, by UAE, by Qatar, and by Iran,” he told reporters Sunday aboard Air Force One when asked why he aborted the plan to strike Iran.

So backing off gives the military a chance to reload, okay, but we all know these talks will go no where, because the people he's 'talking' to are lying, coniving scumbags who hate everything about us.

PLANS for a Barbie film sequel are on the brink of collapsing in a row over the stars’ pay. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, who played Barbie and boyfriend Ken, are said to have demanded megabucks increases.

Reports claim Ryan,say that Gosling, who is now 45, wants $ 20 million to return, because he doesn't really want to do a sequel. He got $ 10 million for the first one. To be fair, I hope he gets it. But, then again, does humanity need another all-pink clusterfuck? Nay, say I.

The Punch Bowls in the Santa Paula Canyon have become a viral destination thanks to social media posts. The natural granite waterfall is relatively smooth, but the rock wall adjacent is anything but. Authorities have repeatedly warned visitors that the smooth granite becomes dangerously slick when wet. Submerged rocks, swift-moving water, steep cliffs, and the area’s rugged terrain have contributed to numerous serious accidents over the years. The remote location also makes rescues especially difficult, with injured hikers and swimmers frequently requiring helicopter evacuations from the narrow canyon.
