@EWTNews “ afraid”?

BREAKING: Speaking to reporters aboard the papal plane to Algeria on Monday, Pope Leo XIV said: “I think that the people who read will be able to draw their own conclusions: I am not a politician, I have no intention of entering into a debate with him. Rather, let us always seek peace and put an end to wars. I am not afraid of the Trump administration. I speak about the Gospel, I am not a politician. I do not think the message of the Gospel should be abused in the way some people are doing. I will continue to speak out loudly against war, to try to promote peace, multilateral dialogue between states in order to seek the right solution to problems. The message of the Church is the message of the Gospel, blessed are the peacemakers; I do not see my role as that of a politician, I do not want to enter into a debate with him. Too many people are suffering in the world.”

This white male who flew rockets now wants people who fly rockets to be chosen based on their race and gender instead of their ability to fly rockets. It must be exhausting to be a Democrat these days.

@KingTrav0082 @Polymarket In a nutshell…

@Polymarket Trump: yall need to get your ass over here and secure your own oil EU: crickets Iran: we’re gonna decide who gets through the strait and how much they’ll have to pay us Trump: the fuck you are we will blockade the whole place EU: we’ll keep the strait open by any means

JUST IN: Britain says it’s building a “wide coalition” with France & other partners to keep the Strait of Hormuz open after Trump announced a blockade.

@ajay_dhojak07 @Polymarket x.com/mmeJen/status/…

@Polymarket Trump just blocked the already blocked strait 🚫 True MAGA move indeed 👍🤣

@NoahAPlaza @Polymarket Ka ching!

@Polymarket Hah! So they wouldn't do it to stop Iran but they would to stop America, 'Allies' everyone! Hypocrites, worthless ones too.

@Fongsterutd @NajamAli2020 Post of the day x.com/mmeJen/status/…

@NajamAli2020 Always make it bigger and stronger than your enemies. 😂

I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic. If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?

@HappiestOCamper @NajamAli2020 Ka Ching. i think I am going to put up a toll booth on the sidewalk outside my house

@NajamAli2020 Because it’s international waters and it’s basically protecting ships from the Iranians themselves. If I go out and put up a toll on a highway because it runs next to my house is that fine with you?

@dlhoyman @EricLDaugh You realize two warships just transited and CENTCOM is clearing mines…right? x.com/EricLDaugh/sta…

@EricLDaugh 🤔🤔🤔yet they're meeting & Iran is threatening US warships that crossed into Strait of Hormuz....DO NOT GIVE INTO THEM !!!!!!!

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Vice President JD Vance just became the most senior US official to meet an Iranian delegation FACE-TO-FACE in 47 YEARS It's 9PM in Pakistan and they just took a dinner break during negotiations. Talks have been going for HOURS. LFG, JD making history! 🔥

@JustJenRX Omg they should bill her by the minute for wasting USG agent time

Liberal Teacher gets HUMBLED by Border Patrol agent!!!

@GBNEWS Wait until they find out Dunkirk was never authorized by an international court….

Hamstrung Royal Navy 'left unable to board Russian ships over fears of breaching international law' gbnews.com/news/royal-nav…

@MyLordBebo In 2018. more lost creds to you.

Trump just threw the umbrella away… 😭

@alifarhat79 It ain’t the “ dollars”. It’s who’s supposed to be getting the job done. We don’t have authoritarian war militias directing infrastructure repairs. Please stop losing your creds

Iran rebuilding a bombed bridge in 3 days while the pothole on your commute sits untouched for month because your tax dollars are busy funding wars overseas

@SaltyGoat17 This was in 2018?

Are liberals really losing it because Trump left his umbrella at the top of the stairs for one of his people to get? Is there anything they won’t cry about?😂

@lewit_alan @GOPIsrael Ka ching. or…its a deception tactic to set a trap

@GOPIsrael That's not going to stop anyone. But it does prove that there's something there that they are hiding.

IRAN—NUCLEAR FACILITIES—MORE DECEPTION According to satellite imagery, it appears that Iran has set up makeshift barriers outside the three entrances to the tunnel leading to the underground facility at the Isfahan nuclear complex. This is apparently an attempt to hinder any ground operation aimed at reaching the enriched uranium.

@Rightanglenews So, instead of celebrations….demonstrations then!

BREAKING - New York City voters are furious and demanding the removal of Zohran Mamdani after he issued an emergency order blocking New Yorkers from celebrating America’s upcoming 250th anniversary in Times Square, while still allowing protesters and agitators to operate freely.

@XAkinade @EricLDaugh If we knew what she was thinkin’, she could be another Lincoln…if she only had a brain

@EricLDaugh She is still thinking about it. She better be done thinking and be ready to become the first female president in America history.

🚨 BREAKING: A drunken Kamala Harris confirms possible 2028 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN in INCREDIBLE news for Republicans LFG! 🤣 Do this. JD Vance and Marco Rubio will LOVE IT.

@_MAGA_NEWS_ Hopefully “ coordinating” does not mean paying the pirates their toll

🚨 ALERT: In a stunning development, NATO has agreed to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte indicate that a coalition of around 22 countries (mostly NATO members, plus allies) is coordinating to ensure free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is seriously considering excommunicating Vice President JD Vance from the Catholic Church.

@shanaka86 Nice of them to show what needs to be de-mined. Which should be easier than circling the moon and returning.

JUST IN: The IRGC Navy just added a second lock to the gate. Hours after the ceasefire was supposed to reopen Hormuz, the IRGC issued an official directive requiring all commercial vessels to use two alternative corridors near Larak Island to avoid sea mines deployed during the war. Inbound traffic north of Larak. Outbound traffic south of Larak. All ships must coordinate with the IRGC Navy before entering. Until further notice. The mines are real. Iran laid them during the February to April campaign as a defensive measure against the US Fifth Fleet. They are in the standard shipping lanes. The alternative routes bypass the minefields but funnel every vessel through a narrow channel inside Iranian territorial waters, past the same Larak Island where the IRGC toll booth already operates and the patrol boats already escort ships one at a time after verifying clearance codes paid for in yuan or cryptocurrency. This is not a safety measure. It is infrastructure. The mines create the problem. The alternative routes create the solution. The solution requires coordination with the IRGC. The coordination requires toll payment. The toll requires yuan. Each layer reinforces the previous one until the Strait of Hormuz is no longer a waterway governed by international maritime law but a managed corridor operated by a theocratic military force collecting revenue in a currency that is not the dollar. The sequence now runs as follows. A vessel operator contacts IRGC-linked intermediaries. Submits IMO number, ownership chain, cargo manifest, crew list, and destination. The IRGC’s Hormozgan Provincial Command screens for sanctions alignment and assigns a friendliness tier. The toll is calculated at approximately one dollar per barrel for oil tankers, paid in yuan through CIPS or in stablecoins through the Qeshm Island crypto exchange window. If approved, the vessel receives a clearance code and route instructions for the Larak corridors. Upon approach, VHF radio hail, AIS verification, and a patrol boat escort through the minefield-free alternative channel. One ship at a time. Fifteen to twenty ships completed this process in the first 24 hours. The pre-war average was 138 per day. Four hundred vessels are reportedly waiting outside the strait. The Gulf states have declared the toll illegal and refuse to pay. Japan’s prime minister called the strait an international public good. Oman’s transport minister said international agreements prohibit fees. None of this has stopped the IRGC from operating the corridor, collecting the revenue, and turning back tankers that attempt passage without a code. Trump claimed a complete opening of the strait. The strait is not completely open. It is completely controlled. The difference between closed and controlled is that a closed strait generates no revenue and invites military intervention. A controlled strait generates reconstruction funding in yuan, establishes a precedent for non-dollar energy settlement, and operates under the legal fiction of a safety directive that blames wartime mines for the necessity of IRGC coordination. The mines will take months to clear. The alternative routes will become permanent. The toll will become normalised. And by the time Islamabad concludes, the infrastructure of a post-dollar energy chokepoint will have been stress-tested, revenue-generating, and operationally embedded for two weeks under the protection of a ceasefire that was supposed to dismantle it.
