Analyst astounded as GOP criticism of Trump's Iran war grows louder: 'Complete loss'
A political analyst was astounded on Sunday as Republican criticism of President Donald Trump's war with Iran grew louder following the collapse of peace talks in Switzerland. David Pakman, host of the "David Pakman Show on YouTube," reacted to former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy's recent appearance on Fox News, where he sharply criticized the alleged deal that the Trump administration struck with the Iranian regime last weekend, in a new episode on Sunday. Gowdy described Trump's deal as a capitulation, arguing that he released the "economic stranglehold" that the U.S. held over Iran for decades. "I thought somebody was spoofing me when I saw what we're giving up," Gowdy said. Pakman noted that Gowdy isn't the only Republican who has criticized the deal the Trump administration made, which included immediately allowing Iran to sell oil again in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. It also delayed talks about Iran's nuclear program, which was something that former President Barack Obama's deal with Iran addressed up front. "If Obama's deal was appeasement, what are we calling this?" Pakman said. "It is a major and complete loss, and even Trey Gowdy realizes it."Pakman's comments came at a time when tensions between Iran and the U.S. seemed to be ramping up again. The Iranian regime announced on Saturday that it was closing the Strait again due to ongoing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. On Sunday, Vice President J.D. Vance was snubbed by the Iranian Foreign Minister during a press event, which some analysts described as humiliating.

Ignore the media whining — today's dads do more than ever, at work AND at home
The American dad has spent the last 40 years serving as the culture’s favorite punching bag.From the misanthropic, couch-locked Al Bundy in "Married... with Children" to the bumbling, well-meaning hazard-to-himself Phil Dunphy in "Modern Family," Hollywood conditioned us to view fathers as overgrown teenagers.The massive domestic imbalance that has inspired a million angry think pieces is virtually nonexistent in the data.They were the morons who couldn't find the milk in an open fridge even after moving everything except the milk, the slow-witted domestic saboteurs who would accidentally incinerate the kitchen if left unattended for 20 minutes.For decades, the consensus was clear: Men were biologically, or perhaps pathologically, unfit for adult responsibility.Different breedThen came the modern panic over falling birth rates, and the blame was promptly dumped at the feet of these cinematic man-children. Women, the conventional wisdom claimed, were refusing to breed because men refused to grow up. If only dads would stop playing video games, put on pants, and learn how to operate a vacuum, fertility rates would soar.It's a convenient narrative. The only problem is that it happens to be wrong. A recent report from the Institute for Family Studies dismantles it entirely. The myth of the detached, useless dad is officially dead.Far from dodging domestic duties, modern American fathers are putting in an enormous amount of time at home.In the mid-1960s, a married father with young children spent fewer than 10 hours per week on household chores and child care combined. Never mind the all the other hours spent earning the money to put a roof overhead and food on the table — the average dad had a reputation for being terminally checked out, loafing through family life behind the sports pages.That stereotype is now hopelessly out of date. Today, married fathers spend close to 30 hours per week on household chores and child care. In little more than half a century, paternal involvement has tripled.Quantity timeMeanwhile, appliances evolved. Washing machines, dishwashers, and robot vacuums eliminated the soul-destroying physical labor of the past, reducing the hours required to maintain a home. But instead of using that freed-up time to drink scotch in a recliner, the modern father rolled up his sleeves and absorbed the extra hours. Married fathers now spend roughly 45 hours per week directly in the presence of their kids. In other words, dad isn't just providing a paycheck any more. This is a man wearing half a dozen hats: chauffeur, soccer coach, homework warden, amateur therapist, technology troubleshooter, and occasional short-order cook. He is expected to be present for every bedtime routine, school recital, and emotional wobble.Even StevenThe most shocking revelation from the IFS report comes when you look at the total workload. When researchers tallied up paid employment, unpaid labor, child care, and household obligations, they discovered something remarkable. Today, married mothers and married fathers of young children each average roughly 63 hours per week of combined labor.The massive domestic imbalance that has inspired a million angry think pieces is virtually nonexistent in the data. Both parents are working long, exhausting hours. Both are making massive personal sacrifices.This completely flips the fertility debate on its head. If fathers are already maxed out, increasing paternal participation isn't the magic cure for declining birth rates. More importantly, it tears up the old script that men can't be trusted with a grocery list, let alone a young child.RELATED: HOT STOCK: SpaceX IPO is making even its welders rich Liu Jin/Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesBubble-wrapped childhoodHowever, this hyper-involved, positive picture of modern fatherhood does come with an important caveat: the rise of over-parenting. In the past, parents let their children wander the neighborhood until the streetlights came on — partly out of trust and partly because they just wanted them out of their sight.Today, children are rarely left unsupervised. Teenagers spend less time with friends, neighborhoods are less connected than they once were, and parents increasingly feel obliged to schedule every waking minute of their children's lives. What used to be an afternoon of "go outside and be home by dinner" now requires a color-coded calendar.This total elimination of childhood freedom has created a new kind of claustrophobic family dynamic. By bubble-wrapping their offspring, modern dads are inadvertently raising a generation of anxious, hyper-dependent kids who can't make a decision without a text thread consultation.Thank a dadFurthermore, this extreme devotion has exacted a heavy toll on men's mental health. Time is finite. Every hour spent curating a child's resume or driving to a travel-team baseball game in another state is an hour stolen from personal maintenance.
