@CryptoWhale Did you eat lead paint chips as a child?

🌍 | Another photo of Earth released by NASA. And once again: no traces of airplanes, ships, or even satellites. Even though around 10,000-11,000 active satellitesare orbiting our planet, and more than 30,000 orbital objects are being tracked. And still, in these images- nothing.

@america It's not fraud. It's to plan. It's redistribution from money-earning taxpayers to non-taxpaying freeloaders.

Gavin Newsom's State Medicaid program ‘Medi-Cal’ is losing $146 BILLION per year to fraud. The level of fraud in California is insane.

I see TDS has you by the short ones. The U.S. has always kept the strait open. Remember the incident with the USS Vincennes? The U.S. has had assets in place for decades to keep the Iranians and their ne'er-do-wells in their place. It's doubtful the EU and UK go to the Chinese for help. Rather, they likely don't have the political will to act for their own good, a la Chamberlain. This may backfire on President Trump if the Europeans are the yellow-striped chicken shits they likely are.

@DrJStrategy Trump “allowed a closure.” 🤣🤣🤣 These COPES keep getting more elaborate.

Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

@DschlopesIsBack I do, friend

If you know what this is we can be friends

@kmkola @DaveBondyTV This

@DaveBondyTV Don’t forget about the pot holes! 75 north in Toledo you can close your eyes and you can feel when you cross into Michigan.

I didn’t need the welcome to Michigan sign to tell me I’m here. The weed signs do it.

@ShirionOrg Wow! Good on the Pennsylvania locals tipping off ICE. Kudos.

🚨 BREAKING: ICE conducted enforcement action at the West Kittanning DMV This is after locals called ICE and posted video of the small rural Pennsylvania office being overrun by apparent recent immigrants applying for driver’s licenses on Good Friday. The normally quiet 2-days-a-week center was packed with long lines of adult men holding paperwork. Hours later, a second photo from the exact same location shows ICE agents in tactical vests pursuing several of those men through the parking lot - some jumping railings and dropping bags. The images match perfectly: same distinctive building, same group of men, same cars, same overcast afternoon. The original video showed calm waiting lines; the follow-up photo captured active enforcement. It looks like local residents raised the alarm on social media, and ICE responded. No official statement yet. Thanks to @Kay__Fitz for the tip. x.com/BroKen_1961/st…

@djDriverless Once Joe Rogan had that hack Bart Sibrel on his podcast, I knew he wasn't worth listening to. Rogan could have redeemed himself by feverishly mocking Sibrel, but instead just let the guy talk. Idiots both.

Joe Rogan reading anything on the internet

@RobSchneider It's not fraud if it's to plan.

Gavin Newsom has presided over the LARGEST Medicaid FRAUD IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

@MichaelHil14955 @BuzzPatterson Yeah. Nuts.

@BuzzPatterson What the hell is a gun free military installation???

This is why the Army Chief of Staff was fired I bet.

@BuzzPatterson My son, an MP, told me base security has been largely turn over to private security. 🤷‍♂️

@lanephotograph8 @robert_kruse15 @gomarkmessmer You know he's a freshman, right? 🤷‍♂️

@robert_kruse15 @gomarkmessmer not a single bill he has sponsored has passed and the bills he has cosponsored are really saving this country 🤣.....typical boomer politician who didn't get anything done. they really are the worst generation of Americans to ever exist.

Congressman @gomarkmessmer has been a fighter in the Indiana state senate before and has been a tremendous pro-Trump representative in DC. He understands what we need to do going forward in this state, and Paula is a great advocate for that agenda. Thank you, Congressman!

@robert_kruse15 @gomarkmessmer Mark is a good man. Many pundits here just attack him because he's (R) and don't know him. He and I went to school together and played in the same section in band together. His wife is an absolute gem, to too it off.

@BuzzPatterson Wait, I heard all you pilots were in on the globe hoax. 🤣🤣🤣

It’s not flat. I can personally attest.

@DelusionalBulI @BuzzPatterson Wrong Buzz

@BuzzPatterson You landed on the moon with a Hollywood basement your opinion aka pad opinion does not count

@BreannaMorello No! I know I'm a Hoosier, but I want Cornyn gone.

If Senate Republicans want Ken Paxton to drop out of the race, they should offer to confirm him as U.S. Attorney General. 👀

@Mod2Severe @ksorbs This is my opinion, as well.

@ksorbs I tried defending Bondi for awhile, saying the wheels of justice turn slowly, but she became indefensible.

I’m hearing that Pam Bondi was reportedly fired Wednesday night. Can anybody confirm if this is true or not.

@freedomcaucus It wasn't meant to cover gay marriage certificates either, yet here we are.

The 14th Amendment was never meant to reward illegal aliens for breaking American law.

@sandypo20349744 @BabyD1111229 My dad went to his grave without ever passing on his technique or locations.

@BabyD1111229 That's funny,not a single person I know will tell you where they find theirs. They're a sneaky bunch.

GTFOH with this bullshit…

@Heminator I know Sleepy Joe was beholden to supporters to do a DEI hire like she is, but that's the best they can do? KBJ is the best black woman jurist they could find? Really?

I cannot believe this woman is on the court, and I cannot believe anyone on the left thinks letting her air these thoughts out loud does them any favors.

@LibertarianJedi @robert_kruse15 That sounds like a threat

@robert_kruse15 You would regret knocking on my door
