@MSPLightRailCar @Aviation_Intel Okay. I’m not sure what your goal is here, but I’m convinced there’s nothing to be gained from discussion.

@Turs_trunc @Aviation_Intel Nah. Our first punch will knock them out. Don’t give Iran any credit. They suck.

The BEST news: F-15E Weapon Systems Officer Shot Down Over Iran Has Been Rescued The airman was rescued by U.S. special operations forces reportedly after a fierce firefight that was the culmination of a massive high-risk search operation. twz.com/news-features/…

@MSPLightRailCar @Aviation_Intel Because if you fly high tempo combat operations over a country that has air defenses, sometimes they’ll get lucky.

@Turs_trunc @Aviation_Intel Conduct ground operations that are a “needle in a haystack”? Why was a rescue needed in the first place??

@MSPLightRailCar @Aviation_Intel We just showed that we can, without loss of life, conduct ground operations deep inside their country in areas they know we are about to try and enter. On top of that we denied them the leverage of a captured pilot. And that’s ignoring the fact that saving this guys life is great

@Aviation_Intel How so? They destroyed 3 planes?

@ByOtherMeansX @stewartspilkin @RunzWithSiz0rs @shashj what happens when China pays Iran in weapons to let their ships through, and then Iran aims those weapons at American military personnel? China isn’t going to fight Iran, they’ll just bribe them.

@stewartspilkin @RunzWithSiz0rs @shashj That’s a fair point. I will say, whoever is most impacted is most incentivized to address the problem. I put China in that mix. This is a test of their influence. Export markets taking a beating Does China have the sway in Tehran needed to open the Strait.

@AlanVRK @HormuzLedger @EdConwaySky It’s pretty clearly AI.

@HormuzLedger @EdConwaySky I really don't know what your "core point" is. Helium is like other stuff. If we lose it while using it, eventually we need more. Oil is like that too. I'm not sure why this helium panic specifically. In the case of oil the loss is more inevitable, if anything.

Very, very bad news. As I wrote in Material World, Ras Laffan is one of the most important industrial sites not just in the Gulf but in the world. LNG, helium, other products. Massive. Whatever happens next, serious damage to this site could reverberate for months, maybe years.

@seconds_0 We shouldn’t give up on US built, but we should tackle that in other ways. Joint ventures with South Korean yards, tax benefits, grants for industrial development, etc…. In the meantime, import the ships and paint the flag on them after.

The Jones Act has 4 requirements: Vessels must be U.S. built. Vessels must be U.S. owned. Vessels must be U.S. crewed. Vessels must be U.S. flagged. The crippling part of the Jones Act is that U.S.-built U.S. shipyards, for a variety of reasons, are incredibly inefficient. We don't have that many of them, and they cost about five times what a ship from South Korea would cost. As a person who actually believes in trade, I fully would love for South Korea to become our US shipyard. We just buy ships from them because they're good at making them. Coastal water transport in the U.S. could be 60% cheaper. Because of the Jones Act, it's actually cheaper to ship goods from the U.S. to a foreign country and back to the U.S. than between two ports, which is completely bonkers insane! As a byproduct, we have killed all of the growth within the Mississippi, which should be the most powerful inland economic advantage in the world. Maintaining the requirement of U.S.-owned, U.S.-crewed, and U.S.-flagged is perfectly fine and in line with my general national security concerns, but U.S.-built has destroyed our shipping industry. There's tens of billions of GDP lying on the table here, and a direct step in reducing our dependency on foreign suppliers. It's also how you kickstart rebuilding an American shipyard industry. If you 10x the number of U.S. ships working in ports, you start building all of the maintenance businesses at U.S. ports, and the demand increases. The U.S. bill requirement of the Jones Act is horrifically destructive to America and, in particular, horrifically destructive to middle America, and it should be destroyed.

@ichbinilya @sarchasm9 I have a lot of respect for the news side of the house. Other parts of the paper…

@sarchasm9 what a dick thing to day, and also completely and deliberately ignorant. to pick one topic of many, their Ukraine coverage is excellent

Excellent and talented Washington Post reporters having to publicly beg a billionaire not to fire them is so depressing. I’m not a “eat the billionaires” guy at all - Amazon is one of the most trusted institutions in American life! - but Lordy, they don’t make it easy sometimes.

A 155mm artillery shell fired during a live-fire demonstration for the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell onto a car and motorcycle with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) that were part of protective detail for Vice-President JD Vance, according to New York Times. A patrol report obtain from CHP stated that no officers were injured in the incident, with one officer described what sounded like pebbles hitting his motorcycle and the area around him, while two others saw a two-inch piece of shrapnel hit the hood of their patrol vehicle, leaving a small dent. Afterwards, shrapnel was also found on the road near the motorcycle. The vehicles involved were parked on a major off-ramp for Interstate 5 near Camp Pendleton, a 17-mile stretch of which had been ordered closed by California Governor Gavin Newsom after he was informed that the during ceremony the military intended to fire several munitions over the highway, which is one of the busiest roads in the United States. Newsom was mocked by members of the Trump Administration for his decision to close the highway, with military officials claiming that I-5 was “safe” to remain open during the live-fire demonstration by the Marines.

@trujillo80374 @NinoChavezX Hey, when did the NYT fire her? that sounds like it would have been a big deal! I bet there are a lot of stories you could point to that show her being fired.

@NinoChavezX Remember she was fired for not being woke enough for the WSJ and NYT, so of course they use the soft "irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading" instead of "Nazi propagandist".

John Oliver on Bari Weiss at CBS: "GOD FORBID that someone even SLIGHTLY critical of the Left is leading one of the MANY already leftist-propaganda legacy media outlets. What an OUTRAGE!"

@biskitisgood123 @TannhauserGate0 @nikicaga He didn’t say “housing people don’t need or want”. He referred to the low income people themselves as unneeded and unwanted. Which is, you know, much worse.

@TannhauserGate0 @nikicaga Its not the garden of eden it's a manure covered piece of shit and if you dont think people need or want housing anywhere you shouldnt be allowed to vote

"Waaaah a farm they haven't used in decades is becoming affordable housing, we need another idiot to blow himself up in a bulldozer"

@mikegiannulis @carol_woolworth @TriciaOhio Good on you for clearing that up. (I mean this sincerely and without any sarcasm)

@Turs_trunc @carol_woolworth @TriciaOhio Yes I can verify from most recent reports that she did not fire her weapon. Earlier reports I'd seen indicated she did or was involved in the shooting. However as of right now that seems to not be the case.

This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars. Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.   The armed woman was named in a @CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s fuck those mother fuckers up, don’t let them take anyone.’ Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack. Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene. This is an evolving situation and we will give more information as soon as it becomes available.

@carol_woolworth @mikegiannulis @TriciaOhio I didn’t comment on that. Someone else said “How in the hell is there a woman with a semi-automatic gun opening fire on ICE agents in Chicago in the middle of the day?” I responded to that claim, which was that the woman DID open fire.

@Turs_trunc @mikegiannulis @TriciaOhio You don’t have to fire the gun to be a threat to law enforcement.

@mikegiannulis @TriciaOhio If you read the post you’re replying to, it says she had the gun, not that she fired it. Only people shooting, according to that post, were ICE

How in the hell is there a woman with a semi-automatic gun opening fire on ICE agents in Chicago in the middle of the day? Are we now in some third-world country or what? This needs to be stopped and it needs to be stopped right away. The only way to do it apparently is to use the federal agents to crack down if the local authorities are not helping.

@JoeySmokes34 @EK_MacAulay @LauraFlowD @ArmandDoma Someone said the CIA did something. Another person denied that. You responded by saying the initial claim, about the cia, was true. The claim about the cia wasn’t true.

in retrospect I should’ve seen this coming—the Left has more cultural power so it does cancellations that way, and the Right has more state power so it does cancellations that way. of course one of these is a violation of the First Amendment and the other is not

@MaceFargo @Blueeyedbull56 @AndrewGold_ok They mostly aren’t, but only because of laziness. They certainly are in support of other Israelis doing that.

@Blueeyedbull56 @AndrewGold_ok THE SAME HASIDIC JEWS WHO ARE MURDERING PALESTINIANS IN THE WEST BANK AND STEALING THEIR HOMES? . THOSE ONES? . SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU JEW CLOWN. .

Imagine a Hasidic Jew being named Home Secretary. It's unimaginable. It would be insane. Islam is about 1,000 times more extreme and threatening to the UK. Yet here we are. What the hell are they doing to our country.

An 18th-century portrait stolen by the Nazis during WWII is believed to have resurfaced in the most unexpected place: hanging above a sofa in an Argentinian home and discovered not by law enforcement or a museum, but in a photo on a real estate website. abcnews.link/sdJuW2g

@palmalezielone @CommieBukkakie @ScottishCommie Israel bombs children? Or Jews do?

@CommieBukkakie @ScottishCommie “we shouldn’t ignore bigotry when it presents itself” they bomb children, I think that’s worse than bigotry

Important to remember that the Hadid family no longer lives in Palestine because they were ethnically cleansed from their homeland in the Nakba and had their actual house stolen by a Jewish family *they sheltered for 2 years as they fled the Nazis*
