@greenmtngoblin @Rightanglenews You live in Arkansas redneck. 😂

@Rightanglenews No it’s because all you weird racist fucks made it about something it clearly wasn’t about. If you’re scared to walk around Boston you’re just a huge pussy it has nothing to do with other races lmfao I walk around every day and nothing ever happens

BREAKING - Fenway Park is facing massive criticism after turning off comments on their post celebrating Red Sox opening day footage from the 50s because it included too many White people. They hate you.

@climatetechkev @TheRoyalSerf 😂🤡

@TheRoyalSerf No, because what we see is our ability to maintain walkability and old school architectural charm amid modern construction. We don’t seethe about demographic change like the random MAGA troglodytes in our comment sections.

Do you think they'll end up deleting this?

@TheMarcusLopes @MassDailyNews 😂🤡

@MassDailyNews Remember when Kraft was getting the brakes beat off him so bad he had to drop out? This is not a true representation of Boston. Just your typical baseball fan. Bunch of maga losers

NEW: Fenway Park ERUPTS in boos as Governor Healey and Mayor Wu take the field on Red Sox opening day — 37,000 fans making their feelings very clear

@theliamnissan 😂🤡

He's gonna use nukes. We have to stop him. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

@Bradsawful @hugolowell 😂🤡

@hugolowell If he's not dead, he's assembled his cabinet of sycophants to debate what few, shitty options he's got left (using pictures because he's incredibly stupid). And as we speak, they're providing the most dumbed-down explanations imaginable for a sundowning, irrational moron.

The White House has called a travel/photo lid as of 11am ET, meaning we do not expect to see the president for the rest of the day Trump is in Washington this weekend but we are yet to have a formal news briefing on the situation with the missing airman in Iran

@crimenycrud @hugolowell @lrozen 😂🤡

@hugolowell @lrozen A Marine standing by a door is not proof of life. If he’s not at MAL golfing & partying - something is up & it’s NOT doing work.

@XJournalist111 @amuse It doesn’t matter to us if it is closed or not. Your government chooses to do nothing to help the situation. It affects you all more than anyone.

Dear @fredrain, Calling someone 'kraut' and sending them to the 'kids table' still isn't an argument — it's just what people do when they have none. The facts on the Strait of Hormuz remain unchanged by your playground insults: traffic is still a tiny fraction of normal, most vessels are anchored waiting for Iranian approval, and war-risk insurance — while down from its March peak of ~5% — sits around 1% of hull value. That's still many times the pre-crisis rate. Reality doesn't bend to nationality or tantrums. Next time bring data, not slurs. The adults are still talking.

WAR: So the risk premium has fallen from 5% to 2.5% and now at 1% (still high) for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. I posted earlier that traffic had resumed to normal as a result but got ravaged by Community Notes. Traffic has resumed as a result BUT it is not normal. I find it fascinating that everyone is desperate to paint everything in as negative light as possible. The traffic below is from just now (I have the AIS tracker on my phone and on a screen in the command center).

@faktenbasis @amuse STFU kraut. None of your business. Worry about your own shitbox country

@amuse dont believe this guy - this picture is from pre crisis. he's only looking for clout

@fuzzballxx23 @CodyKhun @finwiz416 @sentdefender Don’t believe me. Believe the 100’s of Iranians that have released video of these atrocities. You are an unserious person and not worth arguing with.

@fredrain @CodyKhun @finwiz416 @sentdefender Oh yeah sure thats is why your goverment is there bombing sure sure i believe it

According to the Iranian state-run Fars News Agency, citing a spokesman for a key unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the country will soon unveil “new air defense systems on the battlefield” against Israel and the United States. This announcement comes only a day after Iran successfully downed a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle and A-10C Thunderbolt ll over the south of the country, while damaging a number of other aircraft, including 2 HH-60W “Jolly Green II” Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) Helicopters involved in the search for the downed F-15E.

@XJournalist111 @amuse Listen kraut. You don’t know wtf you are talking about. You need to worry about your shithole and quit worrying about Iran. You don’t have anything to do with this. Go back to the kids table

Hey @amuse, the MarineTraffic screenshot looks busy as hell, but it's super misleading. Yeah, there are tons of ships around Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the entrance to the strait... but almost all of them are anchored or sitting at ports waiting for permission. They're not actually sailing through the narrow Hormuz Strait. Real traffic has ticked up a little the last few days (like 16 ships on April 3rd), which is better than the 5-8 a day earlier. But normal is 60-140 ships per day. Right now we're still at like 5-10% of normal. Iran has had the strait restricted since March 1st — they only let ships through a tight corridor near Larak Island if they get approval. Most vessels are just queued up waiting or turned back. And that war-risk insurance drop you mentioned? It's not down to 1%. Latest numbers from the strait monitors still show it sitting at 5% (33 times the normal rate). It's cheaper than the peak, sure, but nowhere near "back to business." So yeah, it's recovering a bit and not zero... but calling it "recovered but not normal" is stretching it when the graph is basically showing parked ships instead of real transits. Still a choke point, still expensive, still controlled by Iran. Facts over vibes, man.

@intelFromBrian @amuse 😂🤡

@amuse You continue to be a complete, uninformed moron. Iran has been open about letting certain countries go through. It’s not open unless you are an ally of Iran or you are paying a $2 million premium. You are incredibly dumb. Just like your Epstein president.

@amuse Don’t you remember Covid? These same people were doing the same thing then. If any good news came out regarding Covid, they fell all over themselves trying to shit on it. Same tired old playbook. This is all they got and it’s not going like they hoped.

WAR: The comments are insane. Everyone is pushing all sorts of propaganda about the Strait of Hormuz. Traffic is flowing. Iran isn’t collecting tolls. Risk premium is down by 500%.

@kscool @MarkHalperin 😂🤡

@MarkHalperin You mean Trump dying since he is reported to be in Walter Reed presently?

Amid all the baseless and other speculation, what about this: What if the notion that there is an MIA service member is just a smokescreen, meant to distract the media and others from what is about to happen?

@fuzzballxx23 @CodyKhun @finwiz416 @sentdefender 80% of the country wants this regime gone. The only reason the regime has control of the government is because they massacred their own people. That is the evil you are defending. They killed 10’s of thousands of their own people just because they wanted new leaders.

@fredrain @CodyKhun @finwiz416 @sentdefender Do you understand they are defending his land right and existence? The only threat to the entire world r u and only u

@Ajini_ @zerohedge Oh is that what this suggests Lynne? 😂🤡

@zerohedge Suggests Trump wants the Strait closed because it benefits “America First elites”. Everything else is him lying and bullshitting.

@CodyKhun @finwiz416 @fuzzballxx23 @sentdefender You understand that the threat can only take you so far. The bluff will be called eventually. They have nothing to back up the threat.

@finwiz416 @fuzzballxx23 @sentdefender They control the threat

🤥🪖 Trump’s military playbook for Kharg, Hormuz: Three avenues to hell All signs point to the US gearing up to seize Iran’s Kharg and possibly islands in the Hormuz Strait. Which military scenarios are likely to occur? 🔴 US military buildup underway A ground force for an invasion of the Iranian islands may include:  ➡️ ~2,200 Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit ➡️ ~2,200 Marines from the 31st MEU ➡️ ~3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division ➡️ additional forces from US Army Delta Force, SEAL TEAM-6, the 5th Special Forces Group, USAF 621st Devil Raiders, and the 75th Ranger Regiment  ➡️ in general, the US has around 50,000 troops in the region 🔴 Why Kharg? 📍Kharg hosts Iran’s main oil terminal — the nation's financial lifeline 📍A small, fixed target with defenses reportedly degraded by prior strikes  🔴 Why Hormuz Strait islands? 📍Taking the strait under control 📍Limit Iran’s ability to threaten tanker traffic  🔴 US military options 🔴Option 1: Economic chokehold via Kharg Island ➡️ Initial airstrikes to neutralize remaining military targets ➡️ Insert Marines and airborne troops via MV-22 Ospreys ➡️ Secure critical infrastructure, including the 5,922-foot runway at Kharg airport, to prevent Iranian reinforcement ➡️ Establish control of the island, freeze Iran’s oil exports, and force concessions in negotiations 🔴Option 2: Control the Strait of Hormuz ➡️ Coordinated Marine amphibious landings + heavy airpower  ➡️ Seize key islands around the strait: Qeshm, Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb  ➡️ Capture strategic coastal zones: Bandar Abbas and Jask  ➡️ Create a multi-kilometer buffer zone to protect shipping and suppress Iranian missile/drone threats  🔴Option 3: Option 1 combined with Option 2 for broader strategic impact 🔴 Why all three options are a recipe for disaster 🌏Kharg and Hormuz islands sit close to Iran and are highly exposed to missiles, drones, and fast-attack craft  🌏Seizing the islands and strategic coastal zones would incur casualties; holding them would be even costlier  🌏Air and sea resupply would face constant Iranian strikes from missiles and drones  🌏US forces could be trapped and neutralized before achieving any economic or strategic objectives

@byHeatherLong Illegals leaving the country

Here's the somewhat troubling news in the jobs report: The unemployment rate fell to 4.3%, but not for great reasons. There's a big drop (almost -400k) in the labor force. The labor force participation rate also fell. It appears people stopped looking for work in March or perhaps more migrants left the workforce (or both). This data can move around a lot month-to-month, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

@MarzzNyc @FaytuksNetwork Go fuck yourself. Liar. 😂🤡

@fredrain @FaytuksNetwork That's a conservetive estimate. Total around 13,000+ casualties.

Israel assesses Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and functioning, but is not being targeted at this stage. Israeli sources say the restraint is not due to operational limits, but a clear U.S. political decision to preserve key figures who could legitimize a future deal internally in Iran. The U.S. has reportedly signaled not to target several senior figures, including Khamenei, Iran’s FM, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. — Maariv
