@Johnny_Joey It's any bomb that's live and needs to be carefully disabled and might explode if shaken or messed with. I'm sure you know this.

This is the epitome of the deep state. SPLC wasn’t just giving advice to these institutions. They were demanding & dictating actions of these institutions based on their political beliefs.
Jack Posobiec@JackPosobiec

THIS IS BIGGER THAN YOU THINK 🚨 A coordinated system—linking the SPLC, Big Gov, Big Tech, and Big Finance —to label, censor, and shut down conservatives They didn’t just track extremism…they manufactured it

@ScottNover @liamjscott Of course a partisan hack would criticize the overhaul. Because now she can’t be a partisan hack anymore. At least not with an editor’s pen. See how that works?

The blockade is, in fact, destroying Iran’s oil capabilities. Check this out:
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86

JUST IN: Iran just pulled a thirty-year-old empty supertanker out of retirement and began towing it toward Kharg Island. She is moving so slowly that a voyage that should take a day and a half is taking four days. Her name is NASHA. IMO 9079107. Built 1996. A two-million-barrel very large crude carrier that has been anchored empty off Kharg for years. TankerTrackers confirmed her reactivation yesterday. Gulf News, Iran International, and Fox News all picked it up within hours. The reason she is moving at all is that Iran is running out of places to put the oil. Kharg Island handles roughly ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports. Its onshore tanks had about thirteen million barrels of spare capacity when the US blockade began on April 13. Net inflow since has been running at one million to one point one million barrels per day because exports have collapsed to single digits of vessels while upstream production continues. The math is mechanical. Roughly twelve days of spare capacity. The calendar says that window closes this week. NASHA is not a strategy. NASHA is what you do when you have run out of strategy. A two-million-barrel floating storage vessel buys Iran approximately forty-eight hours of continued upstream production. After that, either the wells get shut in or the crude goes somewhere else. The parallel options being pursued, ship-to-ship transfers in the Riau Archipelago, AIS-dark transits, sanctioned VLCCs returning home through the blockade line, are not enough. Lloyd’s List Intelligence has tracked roughly twenty-six Iran-linked vessels evading since April 13. That cannot absorb a million barrels a day. The wells will shut in. The question is which wells, for how long, and whether they come back. The Asmari and Bangestan carbonate formations that sit under most of Iran’s giant southern fields are high-permeability, strong-water-drive systems. The Society of Petroleum Engineers literature on this specific reservoir class is unambiguous. Remove continuous pressure support for a prolonged shut-in and four damage mechanisms activate simultaneously: water coning upward through the fracture network, fines migration into pore throats, formation compaction under increased effective stress, and clay swelling under altered salinity and pH. The damage is not theoretical. It is documented. And it is measured in months to years of recoverable production capacity, not days. Maleki and Gordon estimate three hundred to five hundred thousand barrels per day of permanent capacity loss if the current shut-in trajectory completes. That is a directional estimate, not a lab measurement, but the direction is not in dispute. NASHA is the archaeological signature of the clock. When a country with the world’s third-largest oil reserves reactivates a thirty-year-old retired tanker to float on top of its main export terminal and buy forty-eight hours of time, the institutional systems designed to absorb shocks have already failed. The insurance market, the shadow fleet, the diplomatic channels, and the reservoir physics are all converging on the same conclusion at different speeds, and NASHA is the one that shows up on satellite. The market is pricing a ceasefire. The Pentagon is pricing six months of mine clearance. Iran just pulled a corpse out of the Persian Gulf and asked it to buy two days. That is not how a reversible crisis looks. That is how a regime tells you, operationally, that it has run out of options between the blockade and the shut-in. The reservoir does not negotiate. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

This is how institutions get captured. Stars and Stripes was supposed to be non-partisan. Congress created specific safeguards in the 1990s to keep it journalistically independent from the Pentagon. But what happens when that independence becomes a shield for ideological capture? When the “veil of virtue” is weaponized to push an agenda instead of serving the troops? Let’s not soften it: In recent years, Stars and Stripes became a left-leaning ideological rag. Much of its coverage had little to do with the actual concerns of our service members. Don’t take my word for it, read their reporting from 2023 to early 2026. The shift is obvious. If we actually care about preserving real independent journalism, then removing the people who turned it into a partisan vehicle isn’t an attack on principle. It’s simple a defense of it.

🔴 Listen to this monster's CONFESSION For months, the regime apologists lied to the world, claiming that the massacre of Iranian civilians in January was the work of “Mossad/CIA agents”. Now, hear the truth directly from the source: Ahmad-Reza Radan, the regime's brutal police chief, just officially referred to the slaughter of thousands of Iranians as an “urban war” and a “second war.” Worse? He openly stated he takes PRIDE in shedding their blood. The regime in Iran is not a government. They are an occupying terrorist force waging a military war against unarmed civilians. The world must see this confession! HT @netvand

The bald eagle almost disappeared from the lower 48. Now it’s one of the greatest wildlife comebacks in American history. America's 250th birthday hits different when you remember that.

Wow. If there are two facts you read today: 1) Everyone outside the US despises Donald Trump. 2) 67%+ of us inside the US despise Donald Trump. He may go down as the most hated person in history. So I guess he can win one thing without cheating.
