there's a beautiful monster inside of me

.@benshapiro’s show opener today is spot on: He says that America is dividing into two new parties. The battle is btw the “American Exceptionalists” & the “Bipartisan Grievance Party.” American Exceptionalists: “America is awesome. We have historically been awesome, and we will be awesome again if we do the hard things that we must do.” Grievance Party: “America is not awesome, was never awesome, and will only be awesome if we fundamentally rewrite the American bargain and also retreat from the world for our great sins.” He says this battle will define our future as Americans.

1/10 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would cost Iran approximately $276M/day in lost exports and disrupt $159M/day in imports, a combined economic damage of ~$435M/day, or $13B/month. Over 90% of Iran's $109.7B in annual trade transits the Persian Gulf. Oil/gas accounts for 80% of government export earnings and 23.7% of GDP. Kharg Island alone generates ~$53B/year, or as I noted to @TIME, "$78 billion a year in energy revenue.


This is the Gulf of America, packed with supertankers racing to load up on US oil. Record exports. Global energy demand is shifting directly to 🇺🇸 Economic boom incoming. Paying attention…




Hasan Piker: “I hate Republicans. The Republicans are far more damaging. The biggest terrorist internationally is the Republican party. I want to fight against the growing fascist movement in this country. My frustration with the Democrats is their conciliatory attitude towards that. You say Donald Trump is a dangerous force, but then you turn around and take on his anti-immigrant narratives from 2020”


The main takeaway from the Iran war is that American domestic politics is the greatest impediment to US military success. Our military put on a clinic but American constituencies have done everything possible to prevent a win. China is smiling watching America’s pundit imbeciles.
