Giant machines are cool and all… but while kids starve and cities flood, we’re burning billions on a giant toy to Mars that might never fly. Earth is on fire and you’re playing sci-fi billionaire. Fix the planet we actually live on first, Elon. Or is Mars just an escape pod for the 1%? 😏

Ilhan Omar has faced racism and constant targeting as a Black, Muslim woman , yet she keeps fighting for justice and equality. That’s real strength. 👍 if you stand with Ilhan Omar.

@PMashatile How can the ANC speak of inclusive economic growth while they exclude some races from participating in the economy?

The ANC remains committed to revitalizing local government, promoting inclusive economic growth, creating jobs, and restoring public trust in state institutions to regain confidence in its leadership of the National Democratic Revolution (NDR).

@wadestotts @NatrlBornMiller WWI is debatable but WWII involved every continent on Earth. All other wars were limited to specific people or cultures. But I'm not willing to throw away tradition just because some academic thinks it should be 1 or 64. I roll with 2. There have been two: WWI and WWII.

"History PhD here--the number of World Wars is actually a *very* controversial topic in academia. Some say there have been two (traditional view), while others say up to sixty-four. Scholars disagree, and that's okay! What's NOT ok are these RACIST attacks on Rep Omar!"

Rep. Ilhan Omar: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked… during World War ELEVEN.” She must have gotten her education in the Quality Learing Center.

@fwmarqix Do you have kids ? Let’s say you end up hurting one of them badly or even killing one accidentally and end up in jail ? Need to weigh those probabilities with just looking weak in front of your wife. It’s just talk. Sometimes best to walk away. Not worth it necessarily.

I need to talk about what happened at the gas station last weekend because I’m still processing all of it. My wife and I pulled in to fill up on our way home. I got out to pump the gas. She stayed in the car. A group of young guys pulled up next to us. Three of them, maybe 17 or 18. They started making comments toward my wife through her window, loud enough for me to hear from the other side of the car. I walked around, told them to keep it moving. One of them got smart, and said something I’m not going to repeat. I stepped between him and my wife’s window. He pushed me first, i want to be very clear about that. He pushed me first. And something in me just left. I’m not proud of what happened next. But I’m not going to pretend I regret it either. Two of them ended up on the ground. The third ran. By the time the cops arrived, I was already in handcuffs. My wife was screaming. The witness at the next pump was trying to explain what started it. The attendant was pulling up the camera footage. I spent the night in a cell. Got out the next morning. The footage showed everything. The comments. The push. All of it. Charges are still being sorted out on both ends. My wife hasn’t stopped crying since. Not because of what I did, but because of what made me do it. I keep asking myself if I went too far. Then I think about what they said to her through that window. And I stop asking. Was I wrong for not walking away, or would you have done the same thing?

Relieved to learn that President Trump, the First Lady and Vice President are safe and unharmed following the recent security incident at a Washington DC hotel. I extend my best wishes for their continued safety and well-being. Violence has no place in a democracy and must be unequivocally condemned. @realDonaldTrump @POTUS

On the day of the Crucifixion, Jesus was on the Cross, surrounded by a ring of legionnaires, while his followers stood just outside the range of their spears... Among them is Simon Peter, Rock of the Church. Faintly on the wind, Simon Peter hears his Master's voice. "Peter, Peter..." heedless of the danger, he rushed forward, shouting, "I'm coming, my Lord!" But alas, he was grabbed by the soldiers, had his arms chopped off, and was thrown back to the crowd. Not a minute passed, but Peter once again heard his name called in a whisper, "Peter, Peter...!" And once again, in a desperate attempt to get to his saviour, Simon Peter ran forward and was caught once more. Losing his legs this time, he was tossed back. A third time, Simon Peter heard his name, "Peter, Peter..." and as he inched his way with his chin, the legionnaires were moved by his act of loyalty, and let him pass. Reaching the foot of the Cross, he looked up, fading fast and said, "I'm here, my Lord, how can I aid you?" Jesus replied, "Peter... I can see my house from here."

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.

This bible verse is illegal in Canada. So I'm gonna post it everyday. Day 16: "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts," 1 Corinthians 6:9 BSB

I left Christianity because I was made to believe that Jesus brought a religion called Christianity. But as I grew older, I began to learn and understand more. I discovered that Jesus never brought a religion called Christianity. He called people to worship God alone. I also realized that many of us were simply following the religion brought by the white colonial masters, without questioning it. Sometimes I wish my parents were still alive today so I could show them what I have learned — that we were following the religion of the colonial masters, not the pure religion of God. But Alhamdulillah, today my mind is clear. Allah opened my eyes and guided me to the truth.

@shanaka86 Escorting is not only about war ships Escorting individual ships but to make the passage safe by land ,air or sea. The aircraft carriers have airborne equipment to assist in safe passage.

JUST IN: The most powerful navy in human history just admitted it cannot safely escort a single oil tanker through a 33-kilometre strait. Reuters reported on 10 March that the US Navy has refused near-daily requests from the oil and shipping industries for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since Operation Epic Fury began on 28 February, citing the risk of Iranian attack as too high. Not once. Not occasionally. Near-daily. Every day for eleven days, the shipping industry has asked the US Navy for help, and every day the answer has been no. Consider what is deployed in the region. The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group operates in the Arabian Sea. The USS Gerald R. Ford is in the Red Sea. The USS George H.W. Bush is en route or preparing for deployment. Three nuclear-powered supercarriers, each displacing 100,000 tons, carrying 75 aircraft, escorted by Aegis cruisers and guided-missile destroyers with the most advanced radar and missile defence systems ever built. France deployed the Charles de Gaulle carrier group to the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea. Britain sent HMS Dragon, a Type 45 air-defence destroyer, to defend RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Combined allied naval firepower in theatre exceeds the total military capacity of most nations on Earth. None of it can get a tanker through Hormuz. The strait is 33 kilometres wide at its narrowest point. Navigable shipping lanes compress to approximately 3 kilometres in each direction. Through this corridor, 138 tankers per day transited before the war. The corridor is now defended by 31 autonomous IRGC provincial commands with independent firing authority, pre-delegated orders from a dead Supreme Leader, coastal anti-ship cruise missiles, kamikaze drones, fast-attack boats, and a mine stockpile of 2,000 to 6,000 weapons, of which a few dozen are confirmed in the water with 80 to 90% of delivery platforms intact. The US Navy’s refusal is not cowardice. It is arithmetic. A carrier strike group is designed for blue-water power projection, not littoral escort through a corridor where a $500 contact mine can cripple a $4 billion destroyer. An Aegis cruiser’s radar can track hundreds of targets at 400 kilometres but cannot detect a mine sitting three metres below the surface. An F-35 can deliver precision strikes at Mach 1.6 but cannot sweep a shipping lane. The assets are wrong for the mission. The world’s most expensive hammer has been asked to thread a needle. Trump told CBS escorts would begin “as soon as possible” and “when reasonable.” His Energy Secretary posted that an escorted transit had already occurred, then deleted it when the White House confirmed none had. Iran’s Parliament Speaker mocked the claim as PlayStation. The IEA proposed the largest reserve release in history because the strait the Navy cannot escort through remains functionally closed. Ghalibaf was not wrong. The escorts do not exist. Not because America lacks the will. Because the Mosaic Doctrine created a threat environment where the cost of escort failure exceeds the cost of escort refusal. One mine striking one escorted tanker would produce a casualty event, an insurance catastrophe, and a strategic humiliation that three carrier strike groups cannot absorb. The Navy is not refusing to help. It is refusing to lose. Seven hundred tankers wait. Three carriers watch. And the 33-kilometre corridor between them remains the most expensive gap in the world.

The USS Gerald R. Ford is not parked near Iran. It is parked off Israel. And nobody is asking the only question that matters: why. The $13.3 billion crown jewel of the US Navy, the largest warship ever constructed, just positioned itself off Haifa. Not in the Arabian Sea where the Lincoln sits 850 kilometers from Iranian shores loaded for offensive operations. Not in the Gulf where strike range is optimal. Off Israel. Defending Israel. This is not redundancy. This is architecture. Two carriers. Two missions. Two entirely different strategic functions. The Lincoln is the sword, positioned to launch strike packages into Iranian airspace within hours of an order. The Ford is the shield, its Aegis missile defense systems creating an umbrella over Israeli population centers against the retaliation that follows the first Tomahawk. America just split its carrier doctrine into offense and defense simultaneously. That has not happened since the Pacific theater in 1945. But the positioning reveals something deeper than tactics. When Iran retaliates, and every wargame says Iran retaliates, its missiles and drones fly toward Israel. They will fly through the same airspace where a US carrier strike group is now stationed. Every Iranian missile aimed at Tel Aviv or Haifa must traverse the Ford’s defensive envelope. Shooting at Israel means shooting at, around, and through an American carrier group. Iran cannot retaliate against Israel without engaging American naval assets. The Ford’s position makes that physically impossible. The carrier is not defending Israel as a favor. It is positioned so that any Iranian response to American strikes automatically becomes an attack on American forces, triggering the full unrestrained weight of US military response without a single additional political decision required. This is escalation insurance written in steel and seawater. If the campaign goes longer than planned, if munitions run thin in 7 to 10 days, if allies hesitate, the Ford’s position ensures that Iranian retaliation does the political work Washington cannot do alone: it transforms a limited American strike into an act of self-defense that no ally can refuse to support. You do not park a $13.3 billion carrier where the enemy’s return fire will hit it unless you want the enemy’s return fire to hit it. The Ford is not there to prevent escalation. The Ford is there to guarantee that if escalation comes, it comes on terms that make American restraint politically impossible and allied participation politically unavoidable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

As received: Two elderly tourists from the Netherlands were attacked on a farm in South Africa on Friday evening 6th March 2026, after three masked men broke into the house on the farm near Swellendam. The incident occurred at a private farm in the Western Cape, where the elderly couple was staying. According to local reports, the attackers entered the guesthouse early in the evening, allegedly tied up the victims, and robbed them before fleeing on foot. The couple sustained injuries during the assault and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police have launched an investigation into the robbery and are appealing for witnesses or any information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects. No arrests have been made at this time.
