@Tom12Hathaway @JonathanTurley bluesky he/him of course

@JonathanTurley Oh look. The fake libertarian & professional Trump brown noser wants to undue constitutional precedent so that he can help his orange daddy & the government deport kids. No one is surprised, you goofy shill

Early on, John Sauer faced a gulp moment when the Chief Justice referred to his examples of different classes to show the narrower meaning are "quirky." Sauer is doing, as usual, an excellent job...

@AJABreaking If true, this probably gives more credence to momentum for ceasefire negotiations.

Trump said we need Greenland because we can’t trust NATO to let us use it in a war. He said we need a battleship 100x more powerful to keep straits open. Europe laughed. Trump was right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Iryna should have crossed the border illegally, committed several felonies, preferably violent, instead of dying at the hands of a cold-blooded murderer on a bus if she wanted to be cared about in a blue city.

This doesn’t get spoken about enough.

One of the major blackpills is reading letters from soldiers during the Civil War who never received a formal education and realizing they could read and write much better than the vast majority of our society nowadays.

@Arkasiraee @zerohedge "So the current price move is based on expectations" Completely and totally different than every other day.

Oil Is Down. The Situation Isn’t Resolved. Oil dropped from $118 to below $100 in a day. Stocks moved up. The market is assuming things are calming down. That assumption is early. The US has said it may step back soon, but there is no agreement in place to restore normal movement through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has not agreed to a full reopening either. The latest signals suggest restricted access, possibly under its own terms. The broader ceasefire framework is still not accepted. The key issue is not statements. It is flow of crude. The Strait of Hormuz carries close to 20 percent of global oil supply. In normal conditions, around 130 to 140 vessels pass through daily. Right now, it is closer to five. There is a backup of over 220 Vessels inside The Straight of Hormuz right now holding over 250 Million barrels of oil. That gap matters more than any speech. Shipping does not restart instantly. Insurers are still pricing in risk. Tanker operators are not sending vessels back at scale without clarity. Even if tensions ease, it takes time before physical volumes return to normal. So the current price move is based on expectations, not actual recovery in supply. If traffic through Hormuz does not pick up meaningfully, the supply situation remains tight. And if that continues, prices will adjust again. The only thing to watch here is simple. Are ships moving, or not. Right now, they are not.

@rivers_creeks @lannywarwick2 @johnkonrad wrong you obviously aren't paying attention or you're retarded

@lannywarwick2 @johnkonrad No, it wasn't. Even the US's own intelligence services said that there was no bomb or risk of getting one. That was Iran's deterrence stategy: don't fuck with us and we won't make a bomb. The rest is theater. Listen to your own America First echo chamber.

Spent all day in DC talking to Navy and military sources. My Hormuz Hypothesis stands: the Navy appears to be in no rush to reopen the strait. The question remains: what is this administration trying to leverage? Nobody I talked to is even willing to discuss that until European politicians and media stop calling Americans war criminals and monsters. And guess what? Even most liberals I talk to are getting tired of it. The only people pleased with the anti-American rhetoric vomiting out of Europe are the far left and a large segment of PhDs in academia and think tanks. I have no idea when the strait will reopen. But if the price is a modicum of cooperation and respect for everything America has done for decades to keep Europe safe, the strait could stay closed for months, or turned into a toll booth for years, because the majority of Americans…. and the vast majority of Trump administration officials I’ve talked with… seem fed up with their arrogance.

@rivers_creeks @johnkonrad If only we could rewind the clock and apply this rationale to Europe and their nazis.

@johnkonrad You broke it; you fix it. Why should Europe clean up after US's completely stupid decision to start a war with Iran? It's not like everyone in the United States short of Lindsey Graham and AIPAC told you it would have disastrous consequences.

🚨BREAKING: Now 5 Illegal Aliens arrested for a violent home invasion in Houston, tying up a family and placing a gun to a child’s head. These thugs belong to a South American Crime Ring that were released into the U.S. by Biden & the Democrats to win elections in perpetuity.

They erase the murals becuase they want this to happen again and again and again The Democratic Party is a machine that turns tax dollars into murdered white people

Kfir and Ariel Bibas, a baby and a toddler, along with their mother Shiri, are unavailable for comment because they were strangled to death by Palestinians after being kidnapped from their home on a Saturday morning.

The craziest discovery from this war: Iran’s regime has way more fans in Europe than in the entire Middle East 😂 Europe.. what on earth is going on with you!?

All of the people who posted nonstop about the girl’s school, have not said a word about this. Weird.

BREAKING: NY man Kevin Sweet facing eight criminal charges for allegedly submitting a mail-in ballot application in a dead person’s name The thing that Democrats claim never happens, happened again!

Remember, if Kagan joins a Sotomayor/Jackson opinion, it’s likely at least plausible. If Kagan declines to join a Sotomayor/Jackson opinion, it’s definitely insane. And if *Sotomayor* declines to join a *Jackson* opinion, you’re in for a real treat.

@DeannaIndiana @ASDylanJohnson @StateDept Didn't leftists like you teach us that we need to know her opinions before we decide whether we care?

@ASDylanJohnson @StateDept That seems like you don’t exactly give a shit that a member of the American press was kidnapped. It’s their job the travel to denied areas, otherwise, we’d never have any news, would we? Now…do your job!!

The U.S. Department of State is aware of the reported kidnapping of an American journalist in Baghdad, Iraq. The State Department previously fulfilled our duty to warn this individual of threats against them and we will continue to coordinate with the FBI to ensure their release as quickly as possible.   An individual with ties to the Iranian-aligned militia group Kataib Hizballah believed to be involved in the kidnapping has been taken into custody by Iraqi authorities. Iraq remains at a Level 4 Travel Advisory and Americans are advised not to travel to Iraq for any reason and to leave Iraq now.   The State Department strongly advise all Americans, including members of the press, to adhere to all travel advisories.

@zerohedge Aren't we supposed to find out what her opinions are before we care? Those are the rules the commies decided on.

@David_J_Bier A great reason to stop aborting our babies.

The population will decline nationwide starting in 2030 without immigration, CBO projects. Population decline is actually likely already occurring because net immigration will be negative in 2026.
