@LastPassHelp My LastPass Chrome extension was not working. It just showed a small white box when I clicked it. I removed the extension and reinstalled. Now it shows the vault image with a moving vault handle, but never loads.

Polling shows no "rally-around-the-flag" effect for Trump during Operation Epic Fury. Data from the Silver Bulletin and major pollsters indicate that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has remained largely stagnant 20 days into the military conflict with Iran, known as "Operation Epic Fury." Support remains high among Republicans (approx. 85%), while Democrats (89% oppose) and Independents (60% oppose) remain largely critical of the military action. Analysts identify rising gas prices—driven by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz—and potential U.S. casualties as key factors that could cause a future decline in approval. 🔍 References • Nate Silver Bulletin: bit.ly/4cSbqlB • Quinnipiac University Poll: bit.ly/3Paf4xv • Reuters/Ipsos & iHeart News: ihr.fm/4spV74k • CBS News Live Updates: cbsn.ws/3Pagxns • Britannica 2026 Iran War: bit.ly/4uF0iia #IranWar #OperationEpicFury #TrumpApproval #StraitOfHormuz @NateSilver538 @QuinnipiacPoll

The U.S. just surpassed a grim measles milestone. This is just depressing. In just the first two months of 2026, reported measles cases have already reached nearly half of the total recorded in all of 2025. South Carolina is currently the hardest-hit state, with 632 confirmed cases, followed by Utah (117) and Florida (64). Vaccine Skepticism An estimated 92–94% of individuals infected in 2026 were unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status. Public health experts attribute the surge primarily to #vaccine skepticism and declining immunization rates, particularly surrounding the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine—despite broad consensus within the global medical community regarding its safety and effectiveness. Highly Contagious #Measles is among the most contagious infectious diseases known, significantly more transmissible than COVID-19. Because it is airborne, the virus can remain suspended in the air for up to two hours after an infected person has left an enclosed space. Although the United States was declared measles-free in 2000, declining vaccination coverage has driven a resurgence, with experts warning that this status is now at serious risk of being reversed. 🔍 References • Grim Measles Milestone: bit.ly/4aJ96fb • Measles Cases in 2026: bit.ly/4q8cIfA

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. ~20% of the world’s oil — over 20 million barrels per day — flows through that corridor.

The strikes on Iran are highly likely to drive oil prices up. The immediate loss of Iranian exports is a factor, but the primary danger lies in potential Iranian retaliation against neighboring infrastructure or a prolonged blockade of the Strait, which analysts warn could push prices toward $100 per barrel. As of today, February 28, 2026, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is $2.98. Short-Term Spike Expect the national average to quickly surpass $3.15 to $3.25 per gallon in the next two weeks as gas stations adjust to the expected rise in crude oil prices. Wider Conflict Scenario If the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked or Iranian retaliation hits neighboring oil infrastructure, experts warn that crude oil could hit $100–$120 per barrel. This would likely push U.S. gas prices toward $3.75 to $4.00 per gallon. Mitigating Factor A lot depends on tomorrow's OPEC+ meeting. If they agree to a massive production increase to stabilize global supply, the "fear premium" may cool, keeping the national average closer to the $3.30 range. This is another example of #Trump's failed promises: "Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods." —Trump, August 9, 2024 "Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable again. We’re going to get your energy prices down. We’re going to get your energy prices down by 50%." —Trump, August 17, 2024 "Energy is going to bring us back. That means we’re going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon" —Trump, September 5, 2024 "Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again. We’ll do that. We’ve got to bring it down." —Trump, October 1, 2024 #Iran

This is a good example of a lack of critical thinking. Your claim falls apart when you actually follow it through logically. Your comment implies all of the following: 1. Trump bombed Iran in June 2025. 2. Trump told the American public — not Iran — that Iran’s nuclear facilities were “obliterated.” 3. This claim was intentionally false, meant to give Iran a false sense of security. 4. The U.S. then bombed Iran again later, because doing so would *somehow* be easier the second time. That isn’t a strategy — it’s a post-hoc rationalization used to paper over contradictory public statements, not a coherent plan.

Imagine being stupid enough to blame bombing a country because they're a nuclear threat, while still having this up on your own website. #Iran literally could not rebuild a nuclear program from scratch since June 2025 and be at the point of having nuclear weapons. Trump went on and on about how he "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program and complained bitterly if anyone said otherwise. It's bad enough that #Trump and his administration are constantly lying and spreading disinformation, but so many people completely believe anything he says without practicing any form of critical thinking.

Trump: "We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground—it will be totally again obliterated… This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the US armed forces."

The U.S. and Israel have launched military strikes on Iran today with a name that sounds like it came from a 12-year-old—Operation Epic Fury. The United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Saturday, targeting its leadership and plunging the Middle East into a new conflict that President Donald Trump said would end a security threat to the United States and give Iranians a chance to topple their rulers. Tehran responded by launching missiles towards Israel. Trump campaigned heavily on a promise to end "forever wars" and reduce distant military entanglements. "I am not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars." —Trump, November 6, 2024 "We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into." —Trump, January 20, 2025 "My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier." —Trump, January 20, 2025 Here are Trump's thoughts about military strikes in the Middle East: "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate." —Trump, October 12, 2009 "Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!" —Trump, November 10, 2013 "The United States has spent eight trillion dollars fighting and policing in the middle east. Thousands of our great soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. Going into the middle east is the worst decision ever made." —Trump, October 9, 2019 Based on multiple sources, especially the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), these are the military strikes per president: • Bush: 55+ • Obama 1st and 2nd Terms: 560+ • Trump 1st Term: 550+ • Biden 1st Term: 280+ • Trump 2nd Term: 500+ (so far) The European Union Institute for Security Studies @EU_ISS defines military strikes as short, targeted offensive operations—ranging from precision deep strikes hundreds of miles behind contact zones to Conventional Prompt Strikes against hardened or time-sensitive targets—distinct from broader peacekeeping missions and representing one of several possible responses to armed aggression. 🔍 References US and Israel Launch Strikes on Iran: reut.rs/3ZYgxZQ EUISS Data: bit.ly/4cfWkWL #OperationEpicFury #Iran

Trump said Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would send your sons and daughters to war. Now he’s justifying the death of American service members.

Are the Iranian people going to be able get the message from the president? Griffin: Voice of America is sort of a shell of its former self. They fired a lot of people. They downgraded a lot of their language services. And that would normally be how you would broadcast a message like this in Farsi to the Iranian people.

In case Trump tries to say he didn’t need congressional authorization because the strikes in Iran don’t meet the threshold for war. Trump: "The lives of American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties — that often happens in war." Young people sacrificed by a decaying, senile fascist for another war.

A man claiming to be named John Barron called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff ruling. The caller sounded a lot like Trump saying: "This is the worst decision you could ever have in your life practically." "You have Hakeem Jeffries who... he's a dope." "You have Chuck Schumer who can't cook a cheeseburger." "True Americans will not be happy.' John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used in the past when talking to journalists. Throughout the 1980s, "John Barron" was often cited in news reports as a vice president or spokesperson for the Trump Organization. This "spokesman" would frequently call reporters to boast about Trump's wealth, business deals, or dating life. Trump famously called Forbes reporter Jonathan Greenberg posing as Barron to lie about his share of his father's fortune in an effort to secure a higher spot on the Forbes 400 list. Audio of this call was later released by Greenberg. In a 1990 lawsuit involving undocumented Polish workers at Trump Tower, Trump testified under oath: "I believe on occasion I used that name." It is likely a prank or impression, but listen for yourself. #Trump #JohnBarron
