@CheriDCumming @krassenstein The strait has already been closed again after less than 10 ships passed. We were told Iran no longer has a navy, but that was a lie. Now we are not longer considered advocates for peace but instigators of War. Our allies have turned their backs to us. Do you feel safe now?

@krassenstein Trump isn't done with with Iran. There is no deal. Just a temporary cease fire for negotiation. Iran 🇮🇷 has the big head thinking that they control something. They are about to get bombed again.

BREAKING: Iran is now demanding fees for ships passing the Strait of Hormuz. They want it paid in cryptocurrency. In other words, Trump blew up Iran, had 11 US military bases attacked, over a dozen military killed, hundreds wounded, had a more extreme leader take reign and spent $44 billion all so that Iran could start charging us money to ship our oil. He then tries to sell it as a victory. What a joke.

@CharlotlKL @pelositracker The ballroom project has been stopped for the time being.

@pelositracker So far, no one in either party has stopped his foolishness. I don't expect this will be stopped either.

Breaking: Vietnam War veterans are suing President Trump Trump wants to build a 250-foot arch in the sightline of Arlington National Cemetery using taxpayer money The view between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington has been untouched since the Civil War to symbolize national unity Congress has not authorized the project and no environmental review is being completed Trump told the public the arch was "fully funded" by donors But a filing from April 7 shows $15,000,000 in taxpayer funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities is being used instead

@AkrudeWisdom @adamhousley @KurtSchlichter I try to rebut and have a respectful discussion. It doesn't always work, but it never hurts to try. I have those in my threads though that post what they will & the immediately block me so I can't respond. I just laugh at them.

Thank you. Could it be that some who do this have never been called out well? Could we hope that a careful rebuttal might send them off thinking? Too often they just instigate verbal slap fighting and seem to enjoy it. I’m new here. And old. And it just seems like the thing to do, in moderation, at times. Maybe it’s a waste of effort.

Let’s fix this for this took: The civilization that invented The Internet The Personal Computer The Smartphone The Airplane The Light bulb Space Exploration Organ transplants Pacemaker Laser Technology The Telephone And Chocolate Chip Cookies Is fighting a regime that's been holding an amazing people hostage with brutality that includes throwing acid in young women’s faces for showing their hair. There. Fixed it for you.

@AkrudeWisdom @adamhousley @KurtSchlichter I understand. I do the same here. 👊

I’ll try a list of events Mr Wight says Iran invented algebra and American the hamburger. And followed that by saying ‘that is all you need to know’. I take no offense at he or you. But his arrogance and either ignorance or dishonesty does. I asked that he give 3 more contributions to the world from the Iranians, I would accept Persians and Assyrians too. But he has run off. I know many (although your refrigeration, the expansion of gases that is refrigeration, I’m not sure qualifies properly), but I was willing to bet he did not. Making my point. Stupid people making stupid remarks that denigrate America (or any person place or thing). Without even being able to explain why. Naked hatred disguised as cute and innocent remarks that, sadly, might sway a weaker mind. I chose to call that out to the best of my imperfect abilities.

@AkrudeWisdom @adamhousley @KurtSchlichter No offense, but I'm a little confused. In you're original comment, you say algebra is about all Iranians have contributed to the world. Now, you're adding to their list. Did I miss something?

I think they did some things in optics too. But their biggest contribution was SAVING WRITTEN MATERIAL. Only a few generations past nomads, the built magnificent libraries and housed books that would have most likely been burned, hidden, lost during the aftermath of Rome. My point is that I grow weary of the West self flagellation. I am most pleased with all and any signs of goodness in humanity anywhere.

@RebeccaNani @KnowsGrows @nettermike I know. I just had to laugh. I went to respond to that particular comment (they left MANY comments on my posts) and found they blocked me. We don't agree, but discussion is important to better define where you stand & to understand counterpoints. Thank you.

@CLProvence @KnowsGrows @nettermike I didn't block you though

America… WAIT. President Trump just said something that we have not heard in a very long time of ever Because on May 17th — Trump is personally inviting every single American to the National Mall. Not for a rally. Not for a political event. For a day of prayer. Praise. And thanksgiving to God. The part that amazes is WHY he is doing it. America turns 250 years old soon. And the most powerful man on earth — a billionaire who could be anywhere in the world — looked at this country’s 250th birthday and said the most important thing we can do to celebrate is get on our knees together and thank God. Not a concert. Not a parade. Not a political speech. A day of prayer. On the National Mall. For the entire nation. Think about what kind of President calls his entire country to pray? Because we have never seen this before. Not like this. Not this openly. Not this humbly. A man with everything — asking America to bow its head together before God on our nation’s most important birthday. May 17th. National Mall. Every American invited. This is not politics. This is history.

@RebeccaNani @KnowsGrows @nettermike It's funny you agree with someone who makes a comment on something I posted then immediately blocks me, so I can't debate them. In a related note, even though you & I don't agree, thank you for the discussion.

@KnowsGrows @CLProvence @nettermike This

@AkrudeWisdom @adamhousley @KurtSchlichter Alright. I'll take three from that list that you obviously overlooked. Refrigeration, the ability to keep food fresh. The postal service, the ability to send someone a package. Sulfuric acid, which has multiple applications. Happy?

@CLProvence @adamhousley @KurtSchlichter Beautiful indeed. Everyone has a best list. We were talking about things that affected the world. You have changed topics suddenly.

@MindfulWarrior7 @Patrici48060503 @nettermike MAGA brand any news with which they don't agree as "fake news". Try this article then: newsweek.com/trumps-easter-…

@CLProvence @Patrici48060503 @nettermike NO. I just simply don't care for fake news.

@MindfulWarrior7 @Patrici48060503 @nettermike I think your bigotry and small-mindedness is showing with that last comment. Question: Did you bother to find the article and read it? Or is that just too hard for you?

@CLProvence @Patrici48060503 @nettermike I am sure that is true 😂🤦‍♂️ Your critical thinking skills are not very good. I mean it makes sense a latino church would say that especially after the deportations 🤦‍♂️

@TobiLdtk @WarClandestine Thank you for pointing that out. I was just scrolling to say this, but you beat me to it.

@WarClandestine You fucking idiots are the only country that ever called for article 5! After 9/11 you called for help and NATO fucked up the Middle East for you. So yes. You called and everybody answered. And so far in 70 years, you had been the only country that did that.

Every time I criticize NATO, all the bots come screaming “iTs A dEfEnSiVe AlLiAnCe!”. Yeah, no shit. And who does the defensive alliance benefit? Everyone but the US. If Russia or China attack us, you think the UK or France is gonna save us? No. It’s gonna be the US Military. If Russia or China attack Europe or Canada, who do you think is coming to save the day? It’s sure as shit not going to be the UK or France. It will be the US Military. So effectively, NATO is just security benefits for Europe and Canada, and the US taxpayer foots the bill for all security in North America and Europe. Not for much longer.

@AkrudeWisdom @adamhousley @KurtSchlichter How about nine other things? tappersia.com/blog/10-best-i…

@adamhousley @KurtSchlichter Yeah. And after algebra, name another three. Thats about it.

@JoeBusLife @Einzelkampfer2 @miles_commodore @grok Bernie Sanders has also never been homeless.

@CLProvence @Einzelkampfer2 @miles_commodore @grok is this true about Sanders?

The left has been saying repeatedly that the tariffs will lead to additional costs being passed down to us the consumers. My question is why don’t they ever apply that same logic when they are screaming about raising corporate taxes on businesses?

@LilyEFinch @nettermike Did David do all these things too? I don't remember reading that in the Bible.

@CLProvence @nettermike Not true. You would condemn David too.

@LilyEFinch @nettermike Honest questions: What am I missing then? How does Trump show the principles of faith to you? Why do you think my assessment is wrong?

@CLProvence @nettermike Not true.

@Patrici48060503 @nettermike Whatever you think... 🙄

@CLProvence @nettermike Well, honestly, he makes as good a pope as that joke wearing a fish hat. At least Trump doesn’t bless an ice cube,

@ZealousCorpse @nettermike How is it presumptive when he has demonstrated repeated behavior? How many instances of greed, cruelty, or vindictiveness do you need to be shown to say those are the only traits he displays?

@CLProvence @nettermike Rather presumptuous.

@Patrici48060503 @MindfulWarrior7 @nettermike I never said any of those things, but people are perfectly okay with calling him a Godly man. I am not the only person who thinks his show of religion is only performative. I have found a multitude of sites showing instances of Trump's disdain for Christianity. Here's just one.

@CLProvence @MindfulWarrior7 @nettermike So the every Catholic has been completely faithful, never slept around, never committed any sin? We know that’s not true. Most of the priests are pedos, but apparently you are ok with that. Got it.

If Kamala was in office this war would be proceeding exactly as Israel wants. Shumer would be taking the Lindsay Graham role. CNN and Fox would be somberly saying “it had to be done”. MAGA influencers would be sputtering in anger about her violating the Constitution and Democrats would be calling her bold and decisive.

@MS2PZ That image depicts a man who has cheated on all three of his wives and has enriched himself at the expense of you and me. Remember that $400M jet from Qatar that WE have to pay to retrofit to be Air Force One and HE gets to keep after he leaves office.

This image depicts a family man who gave up wealth, privacy, peace, and endured relentless attacks to protect and serve a nation they deeply love.
