@CatholicRob This was interesting. What's @Catholicizm1 's

Seems about right for me

@RomanCabanac and it will work then as well

My son will inherit this.

This is an excellent marketing initiative from @ProtonPrivacy Children shouldn’t be profiled. Ability to influence their thinking from nefarious algorithms is just too dangerous Privacy from childhood is a great aspect of digital education for our children #privacy

I vote to bring that to Johannesburg

@shanaka86 @DA_Stockman Which means 18 months from now we’ll have men with lower testosterone further contributing to the original problem of weak masculine leadership

JUST IN: The most irreversible consequence of this war is not happening in Tehran. It is happening in a barn in Iowa. A farmer is standing over a kitchen table looking at two seed catalogues. One is corn. One is soybeans. Corn needs 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen costs $610 per ton on the CBOT March futures settlement as of yesterday, up 35 percent in a month. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria called rhizobia. They need nothing from the Strait of Hormuz. The farmer is choosing soybeans. Millions of acres are choosing soybeans. And once the planter rolls into the field, the choice cannot be reversed until next year. USDA projected corn at roughly 94 million acres for 2026, down from 98.8 million. Soybeans at 85 million, up from 81.2 million. Those projections were published February 19, before urea surged past $683 at New Orleans. The actual shift will be larger. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. By then the seeds will be in the ground. This is the transmission channel the world is not watching. A 21-mile strait enforced by provincial commanders with sealed radio orders just rewrote the planting economics of 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. Not through sanctions. Not through diplomacy. Through the price of a single molecule that corn cannot grow without and soybeans do not need. Now follow the cascade. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually. That consumes roughly 43 percent of the entire US corn crop. The mandate is set by the EPA. It does not flex when corn acres shrink. It is inelastic demand consuming a fixed share of a declining supply. When supply tightens against a fixed mandate, the remaining corn reprices upward. Corn above $5 per bushel compresses every margin downstream. The US cattle herd stands at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low per USDA NASS. Poultry and pork operations face compression from higher corn prices. Feed is the single largest cost in livestock production. When feed reprices, protein reprices. When protein reprices, every grocery shelf in America absorbs the increase. This is the protein cascade. Corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the checkout counter. Each link tightens because the link before it tightened. The originating cause is a urea molecule that cannot transit a strait because a provincial commander’s sealed orders say it cannot. The farmer did not start this war. The farmer cannot end it. The farmer responds to the price on the screen and the biology of the two crops in front of him. Corn needs the molecule. Soybeans do not. At $610 the arithmetic is settled. The planter rolls. The season is locked. Israel just authorised the assassination of every Iranian official on sight. The US has spent $16.5 billion. South Pars is burning. The Fed is holding rates because oil inflation will not break. Gold touched $5,000. Bitcoin is bleeding. China is running exercises near Taiwan. Sri Lanka shut down on Wednesdays. And underneath all of it, a man in a barn is making the decision that determines whether four billion people pay more for food this year. He has never heard of the Mosaic Doctrine. He does not know what a sealed contingency packet is. He knows what nitrogen costs. And he is planting soybeans.

Some around Trump maintain that this was always meant to be a 4 week war. In 2 weeks we will be at that stage. The implication is that he will, regardless of facts on the ground, abandon his present course of action. To me, this sounds a lot like Trump’s “2 weeks to flatten the curve” from COVID. Trump is fixated on “winning” this war. And that’s to say nothing of whatever the Iranians will want to do. What’s more likely is that Trump expands the war. Tries to land Marines along the coastline of Iran for sea control, and fails (we lack the force to achieve this mission). There’s the added problem that Iran doesn’t have to engage in a ground war necessarily. They can just deploy any number of their 88,000 strong drones or missile swarms to knock any US foothold of their coastline out. Meanwhile, the US stockpiles for key interceptors are basically gone. Israeli interceptors are depleted. Arab states about to lose theirs any moment. Iran has at least 18-24 months of missiles remaining in its arsenal. This is a strategic defeat for the United States, especially since Trump seems so committed to his REGIME CHANGE + UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER formula for victory. A recent US intelligence report, per the Washington Post, states plainly that the regime in Iran is unlikely to collapse and has become hardened as a direct result of the US and Israeli air war. And the longer the war goes on, the more painful it is for Americans who will be paying higher prices for everything thanks to the impact of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is where we are.

One thing that happens as you get older is that you realize G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc were right about pretty much everything.

@ThomasEWoods No matter who you guys vote for, you always get John McCain

Looks like everything is going exactly according to plan

Doesn't matter who Americans vote for, they always get John McCain

The Muslim world is divided about Iran: Muslim countries in favor of removing the regime: Jordan 🇯🇴 Kuwait 🇰🇼 UAE 🇦🇪 Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 Oman 🇴🇲 Qatar 🇶🇦 Bahrain 🇧🇭 Muslim countries against the removal of the regime: Great Britain 🇬🇧 France 🇫🇷 Spain 🇪🇸

The typical floundering end to a potentially great presidential term. Another war, exactly what you promised not to do. The end of the third American Republic is here. New world everyone
