6 U.S. allies have pledged to help secure the Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes: 🇯🇵 Japan 🇬🇧 Britain 🇫🇷 France 🇩🇪 Germany 🇮🇹 Italy 🇳🇱 Netherlands So WHAT CHANGED? The key change prompting this joint statement in the ongoing WAR WITH Iran, 🇮🇷 is BECAUSE of Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz. From the details in official releases, the statement directly condemns: - Recent Iranian attacks on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf. - Attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations. - The de facto closure (or effective blocking) of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces, involving threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks, and other disruptions to commercial shipping. JUST LIKE MORE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL 🇮🇱 ARE JOINING THE FIGHT, SUDDENLY THE ALLIES OF THE USA 🇺🇸 ARE JOINING. (But they aren’t joining to fight against Iran; 🇮🇷 they are joining to secure their own financial interests.) Oil 🛢️ and gas ⛽️ 19 MAR 2026 | 16:49 ET ET SOURCE: BubbaNews (@bubbanews)

Want to fix this? TSA Agents should stage mass call-outs at BLUE CITY and BLUE STATE airports. That’s who is holding up their pay and that’s who should feel the pain! ⁦@clayandbuck⁩ can you help this go viral? You can take the credit! foxnews.com/media/sean-duf…

@BuzzPatterson I salute you service. You should have been under combat pay for your time with Billy and Hilly.

People frequently ask how I could’ve worked for the Clintons. Good question. My answer: I didn’t work for the Clintons, I worked for the United States of America. 🇺🇸

@ScottPresler @PNWConservative ISWYTD. 😜

@PNWConservative This is not me.

An incompetent fool

@BuzzPatterson Fetterman, but the Dems don’t consider him to be one of them.

Has anybody on the X Left said anything about the 19 year-old athlete murdered by Iran today?

RE: The Way of War of Our Enemies In every hot war the United States has become involved in since the Korean War, we have enjoyed absolute tactical and operational dominance over our enemies. We win every tactical engagement, overwhelmingly. Operationally we can and do dominate any theater of our choosing. No one—and I mean NO ONE—can stand toe to toe with the US military. This has been true for decades. We’ve talked before about the elements of national power—the “DIME” (Diplomacy, Informational, Military, Economic). Our military power is unsurpassed. We are masters of diplomacy. We have the world’s strongest economy. So how do we lose? The INFORMATIONAL component. Our military opponents, from Ho Chi Minh to Osama bin Ladin, knew that the only way to defeat the USA is to demoralize the American populace such that it demands withdrawal and throws the then current Commander-in-Chief out of office. The ONLY way to defeat America militarily is to convince the American people that a war is unwinnable. The slow dribble of IED deaths in OIF was not actually targeting soldiers and Marines—it was targeting YOU, the American people. And CNN eagerly complied with death counts running across the bottom of the screen. The Tet Offensive? It was a decisive US victory that could have ended the Vietnam War in our favor. But Walter Cronkite instead declared the war lost, protests erupted nationwide, and the war was lost. The Highway of Death in Kuwait? We could have taken out Saddam Hussein in 1991 and never needed to go back in 2003, but international media made the attack on retreating Iraqis look “too cruel,” so we halted just short of the finish line. The strategic imperative of every one of America’s military enemies is to break the will of the American people with skewed information, propaganda, and extreme emphasis on America’s minor losses amidst overwhelming military victory. But the Ho Chi Minhs and Osama bin Ladins can’t do that by themselves. They need willing partners in the American media and government. And for Operation Epic Fury, boy oh boy do the Iranian mullahs have an over abundance of American morale killers to draw from in order to defeat America through the informational instrument of national power. Tucker Carlson. Senator Mark Kelly and the rest of the Seditious Six. CNN. ABC. NBC. CBS. NYT, WaPo. Pakistani bot armies on social media. X “influencers” like Cerno, Candace, MartyrMade and Ian Carroll. Every idiot claiming we are fighting “Israel’s war." There is an entire Army of American politicians and media figures who are willingly fighting Iran’s informational war on its behalf (and in some cases, at its behest). America is DECISIVELY WINNING the war on Iran in every measurable respect. Yet there are so many influential Americans who are desperately determined to make you believe otherwise. In days of old in non-US countries, such people would have been strung up for treason. Thankfully it’s 2026 and we have a First Amendment, so no one fear being treated in such a medieval manner. But we can still ostracize and ridicule such people and sources for the irreparable harm they are wreaking upon the USA as they do the bidding (intentionally or unintentionally) of Theo-fascist mullahs who are determined to set off a nuclear bomb so that the Twelfth Imam will arise from a well in Qom and precipitate the global apocalypse. We all need to choose sides. Are you with America, or are you with theologic-inspired, deliberate Armageddon? And anyone who chooses the latter needs to be the target of mockery, derision and clearly-stated facts disproving their lies. And if YOU are an American Patriot, you can fight that informational war on America’s behalf, right now, right here on social media, right there in your own living room. Your voice matters, and your voice is actually a part of the war. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

@WriteGrlProbs @historybythpint You two are my favorite couple on X.

@TheDPitz @historybythpint We will!!

Finally having our Valentine’s Day dinner date. 💐

@margbrennan What’s wrong with that ???

The Secretary of Defense tells the American public to pray for our troops on bended knee and invoke Jesus' name....

@GuntherEagleman Harold is perhaps the most level headed Democrat I’ve seen in several decades. We need people like him, despite what his party currently is.

🚨 BREAKING: Former Rep. Harold Ford Jr. just BLASTED his own Democrat Party for blowing $114 MILLION on a new California wildlife bridge over a highway, and he’s dropping red-pill truth! “Stories like this are why Donald Trump was successful.”

Watch this little one find their strength for the very first time! Whether it’s four legs or two, we all need a little nudge of encouragement sometimes. First steps are always easier with Mom by your side. 🥹🐎🤍

@Notwokenow Random eventually succeeds. Bernie never has.

Who would you trust more with your money? Random claw machine or Democrat Bernie Sanders?

My oncologist called me to discuss a new potential treatment option. Was on the phone with her for more than 15 minutes. She didn’t make me wait for a future office visit. I was blown away. Best doctor I’ve ever had by a massive margin.

@cutiieepie6 @anabia1278 So sorry for your loss.

Our little man has passed on. He was the best boy and a fantastic support at all times. 😢💔

@DVATW This is horrific.

Modern Britain

America produces more helium than any country on earth. Qatar just lost a third of the world's supply for three to five years. Every semiconductor fab, every MRI machine, every rocket engine, every particle accelerator on the planet depends on a gas that comes from two places... and one of them just got hit by Iranian missiles. President Trump should announce a Strategic Helium Reserve immediately. The United States already had a Federal Helium Reserve in Amarillo, Texas. Congress voted to sell it off. That decision looks different today than it did when they made it. The world's helium supply just got cut by a third overnight, spot prices surged 100%, and the CEO of QatarEnergy is declaring force majeure for up to five years. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve exists because the 1973 oil shock taught America that energy dependence is a national security vulnerability. The 2026 helium shock is teaching the same lesson about a different commodity. Helium runs the semiconductor supply chain. Helium runs the MRI machines in every major hospital. Helium runs the cooling systems in the AI data centers that the administration has made a national priority. Helium runs the rocket fuel pressurization systems at NASA and SpaceX. No substitute exists at industrial scale for any of these applications. A Strategic Helium Reserve does three things at once. It guarantees domestic supply for American semiconductor fabs during a period when global helium markets are in crisis. Intel, TSMC Arizona, Samsung Texas, Micron... every fab built under the CHIPS Act depends on helium. The CHIPS Act brought the fabs to American soil. The Helium Reserve keeps them running. It gives the United States leverage over every allied semiconductor manufacturer on earth. South Korea imported 65% of its helium from Qatar. China imported 54% of its helium imports from Qatar. Japan depends on imported helium for its entire chip industry. If the United States controls a strategic reserve of the commodity their fabs cannot operate without, the diplomatic leverage writes itself. Helium access becomes a condition of alliance. Helium supply becomes a tool of trade negotiation. The country that controls the chips controls the century... and the country that controls the helium controls who makes the chips. It creates a new American export industry that didn't exist at this scale before March 2026. American natural gas processing generates helium as a byproduct. The same shale revolution that made America the world's largest oil producer and largest LNG exporter also produces helium. Expanding helium capture, purification, and storage infrastructure creates American jobs, generates American export revenue, and builds American strategic capacity simultaneously. Call it the SHIELD Act. Strategic Helium Investment for Economic Leverage and Defense. Invoke the Defense Production Act to accelerate construction of helium capture and storage facilities. Direct the Department of Energy to rebuild the reserve capacity that Congress sold off. Condition helium exports to allied nations on semiconductor investment in the United States and alignment with American trade policy. The helium is in the ground. The infrastructure exists. The demand is exploding. The competition just went offline for five years. All the President has to do is sign the order.

Futures prices is a better benchmark than Brent Crude, which is the Spot Market. Futures prices peaked at $120 a barrel at time of "closing" Strait of Hormuz panic, but is now back down into the $90s. Was at $60s before the war, so it has gone up. But the trend now is down -- panic has passed and oil remains as available now as before the attack.

@CollinRugg @RantyAmyCurtis

Just two years after telling rich Republicans to jump on a bus and head to Florida, NY Gov Kathy Hochul begs rich taxpayers who are in Florida to come back to New York so they can pay more taxes. Hochul says she needs "high net worth" people to cut her checks to fund New York's social programs. "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we wanna have in our state right now." "...Cut me the checks... The first step should be to go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home, because our tax base has been eroded."
