@ChristopherHale @antov2401 Did Hegseth really say that @grok

NEW: In a remarkable interview set to air on CBS Easter morning, the conservative archbishop who leads Catholics serving in the U.S. military says the Trump-Vance White House's war against Iran is impermissible under Catholic teaching. Asked to respond to Pete Hegseth's claims that God is guiding the military effort, Archbishop Broglio said the war is not “sponsored by the Lord.” substack.com/home/post/p-19…

🚨 IRAN JUST OFFERED EUROPE A HORMUZ DEAL. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 On the surface: Iran offered the EU transit access through the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like a small diplomatic move. Standard geopolitics. It is not. This is a goddamn financial nuclear bomb. Let that sink in. 💀 The Hormuz Strait carries 20% of ALL the world's oil consumption 💀 Europe's energy bill jumped $16.2 BILLION in just 30 days of war 💀 Natural gas in Europe is up 100%. Oil up 60%. Diesel at $200/barrel 💀 Dollar reserves have already fallen from 70% to 56.9% in 25 years 💀 Iran joined BRICS in 2024. Russia banned dollar transactions. Gold hit $5,500/oz ⚠️ If Europe takes this deal, they pay in euros — not dollars ⚠️ One major non-dollar oil deal is all it takes to show the world it CAN be done Do you understand the scale of what's happening? ⚠️ The petrodollar is the most powerful financial system ever created. Born in 1974. It forced every nation on Earth to hold dollars just to buy oil. That's the entire basis of US financial dominance. Not strength. Not trust. OIL. ⚠️ If that system cracks — BRICS accelerates, Gulf states reconsider, dollar demand collapses, and America can no longer fund its $34 trillion debt on easy terms. The US doesn't lose a battle. It loses the WAR — the financial one it's been winning since 1974. ⚠️ ECB board member Panetta said it on April 2: "Even if the Iran war ends, the damage has been done." Deutsche Bank called the Iran war a "catalyst" for yuan replacing the petrodollar. They're showing you a war about nuclear weapons and regional security. They're NOT showing you that the REAL war is over who gets to print the world's reserve currency. Here's the logic — follow it carefully: → Iran blocks Hormuz for the US. Opens it for EU with a deal. → EU, desperate and bleeding, seriously considers taking the deal. → Deal gets done in euros or yuan. Not dollars. → Every country watching — BRICS, Global South, Gulf states — sees it happen. → "If the EU can bypass the dollar, so can we." → Dollar demand falls. Reserve share collapses. US inflation rises. → You didn't just lose a trade route. You lost the dollar's 50-year monopoly on global trust. If America is so powerful and the dollar is so safe, why is the EU considering a deal with the country America is bombing? If Western unity is so solid, why did 40 countries meet to reopen Hormuz and achieve absolutely nothing? Complete silence. This is no longer just a Middle East war. This is a direct attack on the petrodollar — the system that powers the entire American empire. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 This post is being throttled. Like + RT to keep it alive. ⚠️

@realstewpeters Fantastic!

Iran dropped a new LEGO video clowning Pete Hegseth for his tattoos and for being a drunk. 🤣

Wake up babe, a new Iran movie trolling Pete Hegseth just dropped

@FinanceLancelot Another win for ‘Merika 🇺🇸

BREAKING: In the coming months $AMD plans to raise CPU prices by 15% and $INTC by 10% due to helium shortages. Asus also plans to increase electronics prices by as much as 30% in 2026.

🚨 THE DOMINOES ARE FALLING ON AMERICAN FAMILIES. IN MONTHS, NOT YEARS. Step 1 ✅ Trump promises to cut the debt. Debt doubles from $19T to $39T. Step 2 ✅ Trump launches Iran war February 28, 2026. No exit strategy. No victory. Step 3 ✅ Iran closes Strait of Hormuz. Oil shocks from $70 to $100+/barrel. Gas hits $4+. Step 4 ✅ Everything runs on oil. Groceries up. Rent up. Shipping up. ALL of it up. Step 5 ✅ Trump signs "One Big Beautiful Bill" cutting SNAP by $187,000,000,000. 22 million households lose food help. 3.3 million already off the rolls. Step 6 ⏳ Trump unveils $1,500,000,000,000 defense budget April 3, 2026. Largest increase since WW2. Step 7 ⏳ CRFB calculates: this adds $6,900,000,000,000 to national debt over 10 years. National debt now on path past $46,000,000,000,000. Step 8 ⏳ Higher debt = higher interest rates. Higher rates = your mortgage, your car loan, your credit card — all more expensive. Step 9 ⏳ Iran war drags on. Oil stays high. Every extra month = another $8,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 spent. Americans keep paying $3/day each for a war they didn't vote for. Step 10 ⏳ Midterm elections 2026. Defense contractors cash out. Politicians who voted for the budget get funded. The loop continues. Step 11 ⏳ Schools remain underfunded. Healthcare remains gutted. Infrastructure stays crumbling. Because $1,500,000,000,000 went somewhere else. Step 12 ⏳ The bill comes due. The debt comes due. And the people who cashed out won't be the ones paying it. Steps 1-5 already happened. Steps 6-7 are happening TODAY. Steps 8-12 are locked in. They're showing you "historic defense investment." They're NOT showing you that every dollar for missiles is a dollar NOT for your kid's school, your parent's medication, or your grocery bill. If "America First" means anything, why are Americans finishing last? Complete silence. This is not a defense budget. This is a generational theft. Bookmark this. Come back in 6 months.

This shit is so weird. 1. There’s literally a giant ass Holocaust Memorial smack in the middle of Boston. It’s like a whole friggin park. They have tour guides and everything. 2. The Holocaust didn’t even happen in America. The victims weren’t even American. Why TF does every city in America need *multiple* memorials/museums dedicated to this foreign historical event???

🚨‼️ BREAKING 💥 The Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) announce the downing of an American F-15 fighter jet on Qeshm Island.

Called it. Jesus.

@Alpha9Mindset @EricLDaugh Rates should be raised by 50 basis points.

For Wall Street traders betting on a May rate cut, 178,000 is a total nightmare. Strong employment coupled with oil surging to $112 has vaporized any hope of cooling inflation. The Fed now has zero excuse to pivot and might even be forced to hike again to offset the 'war premium.' Experts are in shambles because they realize 'Higher for Longer' just got a second lease on life. When markets open Monday, they must confront the brutal reality: strong growth, but even more expensive capital.

🚨 BREAKING: The US jobs report just TRIPLED EXPECTATIONS, adding +178,000 when +59,000 were expected for March CNBC: "This is a BIG NUMBER!" 🔥 Experts in SHAMBLES 🇺🇸

@shawnpisteySC @EricLDaugh This is hilarious! I love how Trump cooks the books.

@EricLDaugh Fantastic news it really eclipsed the expectations.

Nike wiped out $200B+ in market cap since November 2021. And the chart actually understates how bad it is. This company made one bet that destroyed everything: the direct-to-consumer pivot. During COVID, Nike's online sales surged, and management convinced themselves the stay-at-home economy was permanent. They pulled product from Foot Locker, Dick's, and thousands of wholesale partners to push buyers through Nike.com and Nike stores. That ceded physical shelf space to On Running, Hoka, New Balance, and every competitor happy to fill the void. By the time Nike brought Elliott Hill in as CEO, customers had already moved on. The China numbers are staggering. Seven straight quarters of declining revenue. Greater China sales dropped 17% last quarter. Next quarter Nike expects a 20% plunge. Meanwhile Lululemon is posting double-digit growth in the same market. Anta and Li-Ning are eating Nike's share from below. Nike's China revenue contribution fell from 18.6% in 2021 to 14.2% in 2025. Yesterday Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Bank of America all downgraded the stock on the same day. Net income fell 35% year over year. Gross margin has declined for seven consecutive quarters. And the stock still trades at 38x forward earnings, a premium over the S&P 500 average of 22x. This is what a slow-motion brand collapse looks like with a luxury multiple attached to it. The turnaround keeps getting pushed further out. Management promised growth by early 2027. Wall Street priced that in. Now it's late 2027 at best. The scariest part: Nike is still the #1 sportswear company by market cap. If this is what #1 looks like, the rest of the industry is running a different race entirely.

Trump is Jesus. If not Jesus, he is Christ’s right hand. 🤣🇺🇸🤡

And I thought the Hunter Biden laptop was bad.

@shazcodes $85k month house payment? How do I get a job like this?

Just got off a call with a friend who got laid off from Oracle yesterday. His package was 48 LPA. Principal Software Engineer. 14 years at Oracle. He shifted his aging parents to live with him in Bangalore last year. Took a bigger house on rent. 85k per month. Two weeks ago, his VP gave him a spot bonus for exceptional leadership. Yesterday morning. No call. No warning. Just an automated HR email. He has two kids. One in college. One preparing for JEE next year. He didn't cry. He just sat silent for 5 minutes. Then said What do I tell my father? 14 years of loyalty. 48 LPA to zero in one email. And they still put People First in their job postings. Hypocrites.

@unlimited_ls LAWS WRITTEN BY WHITE MEN FOR WHITE MEN CANNOT BE COMPREHENDED BY BROWNS & BLACKS — A JURY OF YOUR “PEERS” THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING IN EVERY MAJOR CITY IN THE UNITED STATES.

John Adams and many early great thinkers have said that US juries functioned effectively precisely because jurors shared a "common set of beliefs and experiences" with each other and the litigants. This jury decision is the result of a rather large minority of Americans who do not share commonality with other Americans in any way, shape or form.
