Cory Mills, agree that marriage should be between a man and a woman but argue that the federal government should not interfere in personal choices. Overall, many express acceptance of the ruling despite their differing beliefs.

Times Of Israel: Threatening to ‘slap’ US again, Iran’s Khamenei claims Trump exaggerated strikes
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump exaggerated the impact of recent strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. In a televised address, Khamenei asserted that Iran had emerged victorious in its conflict with Israel, which he said was on the verge of collapse due to Iranian actions. He threatened further retaliation against U.S. forces in the region.
Khamenei's comments followed a ceasefire after a 12-day air war, during which both Iran and Israel claimed victories. U.S. military actions aimed at Iranian nuclear facilities have sparked debate over their effectiveness, with conflicting assessments on the damage inflicted. Khamenei emphasized Iran's military capabilities and vowed that any aggression would result in severe consequences.
Le Monde: Thomas Gomart, historian: 'Trump reasserts the US' strategic centrality'
Thomas Gomart, director of the French Institute of International Relations, argues that Donald Trump's recent military actions against Iran, in coordination with Israel, signal a reassertion of U.S. strategic importance. This shift from non-intervention to a more aggressive stance may enhance U.S. deterrence.
Gomart suggests that Trump's approach reflects a departure from previous policies and aligns more closely with neoconservative principles, emphasizing preemptive force as a means of maintaining dominance. This development raises questions about the U.S.'s role in the Middle East and its broader geopolitical influence.

The federal budget faces a crisis, with entitlement spending dominating outlays and future obligations exceeding $100 trillion. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are unsustainable, leading to calls for reform, including a voluntary buyout option for individuals to exit these programs.
This proposal would allow eligible individuals to forfeit future claims on federal entitlements in exchange for a lump-sum payout or equivalent. Advocates argue this could reduce future liabilities and empower citizens, promoting self-reliance and individual choice in managing retirement and health care.
