@Jethroe111 In a nutshell🥜

I've lived this. Let me tell you where this is going. When I was flying F-18's around the Gulf decades ago, the Strait of Hormuz was first and foremost in planning sessions from Washington to my ready room. And here is what we knew. It could not be secured then. Not truly secured. 100% secured. And that was the key. Today that is more true than ever. The nature of war changed forever in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine and got its ass kicked in the first 2 months. Drones and cheap missiles revolutionized warfare, and gave small nations an assymetry in power projection they had never possessed. What should get everyone's attention is the Iranian attack on Lars Raffan, the world's largest LNG processing facility. After 3 weeks of complete air superiority and saturated bombing that "ran out of targets" Iran managed to launch 5 ballistic missiles at that field. The Shahed 131 and 136 drones cost between $10-50k and can be transported in small pieces in a pickup, assembled onsite in hours and launched. Most intercepts on our side cost $4M for the Patriot and up to $12M for the THAAD. And here is something that should get your attention. We will not be able to rebuild our inventories without China's cooperation. Full stop. They have us by the balls due to one thing: Rare Earth minerals, magnets, and most importantly, the refining needed to process them. If this conflict continues things are going to break in the system. Severely break.

@PressSec @WhiteHouse

As I’ve said repeatedly, Americans trust President Trump as their Commander-in-Chief and support his efforts to eliminate terrorist threats and keep us safe. There is no “MAGA fracturing,” no matter how many times the media tries to claim otherwise.

@BowesChay Did N.Korea enter the mix?

Massive fire erupts at the industrial factory in Daejeon, South Korea. 50 people injured. 35 in serious condition. The building partially collapsed.

This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said "I would like to withdraw $10". The teller told her "For withdrawals less than $100, Please use the ATM." The old lady wanted to know why... The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her "These are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you." The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said "Please help me withdraw all the money I have." The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her "You have $300,000 in your account but the bank doesn't have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow.?" The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to $3000. "Well please let me have $3000 now." The teller kindly handed $3000 very friendly and with a smile to her. The old lady put $10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit $2990 back into her account. The moral of this story is, Don't be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill.!!

The world will teach you to want less than you are. Do not learn it. ⚡️

@malcolmkenyatta You do realize the Govt issues SSNs right?

DOGE didn’t do shit but steal our social security numbers.

@MustStopMurad @222ventures f(x) = a × b^x SPX6900 > 500

It took Bitcoin and Ethereum 4-5 years to do what SPX6900 is doing in just 2.5 years. You aren't ready for what will inevitably happen. Persist Forever.

Countries reassessing their F-35 tactics after a “stealth fighter” is hit by a sanctioned nation under a US/Israel air-superiority umbrella. •United States •Australia •Israel •Italy •Japan •Netherlands •Norway •South Korea •United Kingdom •Denmark •Belgium •Finland •Poland

The F-35 program was billed as the most advanced stealth fighter ever. It cost us $2 trillion over 20 years. And it gets clipped by a missile belonging to a military that I have been told repeatedly by the Pentagon was totally defeated. LOL. Hope the pilots are OK, tho!

@JamesOKeefeIII California budget is $324B Assume 20% is misallocated $65B - Warlords & dictators have plunged countries into chaos to seize a fraction of that amount. Massive incentive to find a minor fall-guy but keep the grift firmly in their hands.

UPDATE: California Secretary of State just passed over all of our clips of money being given for petition signatures to their investigative unit…

@AdameMedia @depassage298 “How to Win Friends and Influence People” so as to not increase antisemitism.

Important video. Netanyahu explains Israeli/Jewish supremacist morality. He says f*ck “morality”, forget being “just.” "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan.” Wow. Be “ruthless, and powerful” This is their philosophy. Pay attention.

@hkuppy Yeah the bad guys have hypersonic missiles we don’t, might be the other way around. Unfortunately.

Next thing you know, we’ll be selling missile defense systems to North Korea…😆

Chinese lawyer Victor Gao hints that China may now be in possession of the entire unredacted Epstein files. He says now is the right moment to fully expose the details of Jeffrey Epstein’s activities and everyone involved with him. "Does China have the files?" "Eventually, everything needs to come out in the sun. Let’s wait."

@NingGaoRen @TylerDurden Well paying 35% more almost overnight is problematic.

@TylerDurden I'm in Vietnam right now, and I don’t see anyone having any problems with gas or fuel at all.

I’m currently in Viet Nam and rumours on the street is they have almost run out of fuel. 40% increase in price overnight. They asked China to lend them jet fuel and they’ve said no.

@TylerDurden Hearing similar.

@kholden @zerohedge @matt_barrie You mean Australians vote in retards. So who exactly are the retards.

@zerohedge @matt_barrie Our government is run by absolute retards. We sell almost all of our gas overseas and they won’t let us explore for more. The green energy scam has taken total hold here.

Dear Indian parents, please teach some basic civic sense to your kids instead of hiding under the guise of, “He’s just 6 years old.” Story time: On my flight from Phu Quoc to Da Nang, two kids were seated behind me. They were super noisy and constantly kicking my seat. I politely asked them to stop three times. The fourth time, I had to get up, turn around, and call out their parents. Instead of being remorseful, they started defending their kids. Mom: “They are on their third flight.” “They are just 6 years old.” I replied, “How is that my problem? You need to teach them how to behave in shared public spaces or atleast take care when you can clearly see what they are doing.” Dad: “If you have any issues, please talk to the cabin crew. Take business class next time.” Mom: “When you have kids, you will understand.” Actions like these are part of why Indians often face racism abroad. It’s not all Indians but it only takes a few to damage our reputation and become a global embarrassment.

@PeterSweden7 Both can be true

So 7 of 10 Swedish people don't belive the USA is a democracy anymore. Meanwhile Sweden has 65 no-go zones and Malmö is ranked as dangerous as Baghdad... Are people completely brainwashed?

@WhiteHouse Objectively when the President writes “without the consent of Israel,” or that we were unaware of Israel’s attack plans, it reads as if he acknowledges the US is junior partner in this conflict.
