Saudi Arabia is ramping up oil exports amid the Strait of Hormuz closure: Crude oil shipments from Yanbu, a port on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, are up to 4.19 million barrels per day. This marks a +185% increase from the ~1.47 million barrels per day that moved through the port in February, before the Iran War. The surge is being powered by a 746-mile pipeline rerouting crude from the eastern oil fields to Yanbu, bypassing the blocked Strait of Hormuz entirely. Shipments have also more than doubled since January’s 1.29 million barrels per day. As a result, Saudi Arabia has already recovered more than half of its pre-war export capacity of ~7 million barrels per day. Furthermore, at least 32 large oil tankers are waiting near Yanbu to load, with more still heading to the port. Saudi Arabia is aggressively looking to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. is accelerating a fresh military deployment to the Middle East, sending about 4,000 service members, including 2,500 Marines, from the West Coast. According to 4 officials speaking to Newsmax, the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are deploying ahead of schedule, moving through the Indo Pacific toward the region as the Pentagon surges additional firepower amid the Iran war. The group includes USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship that functions like a mini aircraft carrier, along with USS Portland and USS Comstock, both amphibious landing ships. This marks a new, separate deployment from earlier movements, reinforcing U.S. forces with amphibious assault and rapid response capabilities.

🔥 BREAKING: Nick Shirley fires back after CBS exposed massive hospice fraud in Newsom’s California, including one building tied to 89 different companies. “Good work… nice to see million dollar newsrooms finally doing real journalism.” Now they feel the pressure to actually investigate. Independent voices forced this. Another win.

Victor Davis Hanson says global signals suggest the tide is turning against Iran, arguing U.S. military dominance and shifting alliances point toward a potential collapse if pressure continues: “There’s enough evidence to see how things are really going. Europeans would never agree to go anywhere near Iran unless they thought the tide was turning and that we’re going to win. Otherwise, they would keep still. And the reason that the petro nations of the Gulf survive is they have their finger in the wind and are very attuned to the climate. When you have Al Jazeera praising the United States’ bombing campaign and saying that it’s been underestimated and is brilliant and effective, you get the feeling that they think not only should the United States finish the job, but that it can and will finish the job. So you put it all together, and I think it’s pretty clear that this rope-a-dope strategy—that we’re going to tire before they do—is dependent on public opinion, the midterms, and the United States. And if Trump sees it through—and I think he will—I think they’re going to fall pretty soon.”

We don’t live in a democracy if our elected leaders fail to implement the will of the people

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just revealed MAJOR DEFECTIONS are happening to the Iranian regime, and he's watching their bank accounts "We're starting to see defections at Treasury. We now know where the Iranian leadership bank accounts are, and those are being frozen." "And we will hold them and see who comes forward in terms of defections!" 🔥🔥 "We're back to the stuff of Baghdad Bob! The regime is in collapse, and the people are starting to turn against them!" "We're starting to see defections throughout the regime, and that's how this ends." "Kharg Island...if you're an oil worker, you don't want to work there. So all the oil workers that are being coerced to stay there, and we will see what happens with whether that eventually becomes a U.S. asset!" @RapidResponse47

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Californians are stunned after Democrats got exposed for spending $1.2 BILLION in taxpayer money on a new office for Gavin Newsom and lawmakers. And on top of that, THOUSANDS of people reportedly signed NDAs to keep the details hidden. So they spend billions, lock it behind secrecy, and expect no backlash? This is absolute madness.

If Melania Trump was on social media dropping the N-word, it would be front page news for weeks and people would be calling for her execution. But since it’s Zohran Mamdani’s wife, I guess it’s different, right?

PM Netanyahu: We destroyed the entire Iranian fleet in the Caspian Sea.

So beautiful. She’s right. Who has two dimples? I only have one. This girl has it all.

From "Get Out!" to "Cut Me Checks": Kathy Hochul Begs the Rich to Return

Prior to Operation Epic Fury, the Iranian regime used the Karaj Surface-to-Surface Missile Plant to assemble ballistic missiles that threatened Americans, neighboring countries, and commercial shipping. The photo dated March 1, 2026, shows the plant prior to U.S. strikes. The image dated March 11, 2026, shows the same location after U.S. forces struck the facility with precision munitions.

@ItsMrsRabbitToU Brain dead, something you know a lot about

Whoever decided that Arizona was the best place for data centers must be absolutely braindead. Up to 120° for over half of the year. Genius. 🙄

So far, Rama Duwaji, wife of Zohran Mamdani, has been found to be homophobic, racist, a religious bigot, and a terror sympathizer: everything Zohran accuses his opponents of.

This capital exodus exemplifies the Laffer Curve in action, where higher tax rates beyond an optimal point reduce total revenue, a concept validated by economic studies like those from the Tax Foundation showing similar effects in high-tax jurisdictions.

Eliminating the head of the Basij won't work because other Basij will just take his pl -- oh shit the new guy is gone too. But a new Basij leader will still repla -- fuck he's gone too. OK, maybe this will work.
