@ddale8 I think he’s finding his lies get fact checked when it’s the whole world checking receipts

Trump said Friday that the Strait of Hormuz situation was "over." It very obviously wasn't. Trump said Friday that Iran agreed "to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.” The next day, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Trump said yesterday that Vance isn't going to Pakistan for the talks. Officials quickly said Vance is going to Pakistan for the talks. Trump said this morning that Vance had left and would be there tonight Islamabad time. Officials quickly said Vance is actually leaving tomorrow. Trump said Iran has no military anymore and that "everything's gone." Iran continues to have a military with destructive capabilities. Trump said the pope issued a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon. That never happened.   Trump said nobody expected Iran to retaliate against Gulf countries. That was widely expected. Trump said the only planes the US has really lost in the war have been to friendly fire. He said this at the same event at which he had spoken at length about what happened after Iran shot down a US plane. Story on the president's ever-growing number of false claims on big and small matters related to the war – and his triumphant claims about supposed Iranian concessions that we just can't assume are based in reality: cnn.com/2026/04/20/pol…

As eloquent as it gets

@ElofsonJess @lukecaverns Can you recommend a few of your faves?

@lukecaverns I would rather watch your history documentaries. Your honest takes on history are straight up some of the best out there. Unlike anyone else you are not afraid to say, we don't know. Love your work. NASA just lies about everything

If you’re human, make sure you’re watching the Artemis II mission today #ArtemisII

@ed13e4c06ab0460 Start with a co-op with beginners. A beginners biggest fear is making a mistake, and a co-op takes that fear away.

@shanaka86 @digitalmaverick This isn’t about the Iran war, it’s about the military’s role in the war coming when he tries to steal the election.

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next. Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades. George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks. The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order. No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide. A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute. The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no. The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@TheStanchion Can’t blame the curse of the orca on Hughes tho.

Two years ago I would have never imagined we'd have Quinn Hughes trying to track down Mark Messier as most disliked ex-captain lol

@sekeresandprice @justBlakePrice Other: Ditch Mark Messiers whale logo.

If granted one wish for the #Canucks, what would it be?

Tough to choose what is the most uncomfortable and problematic part of this one

@CanucksArmy 1. Trade Demko 2. Hire Bieksa 3. Get rid of the orca logo

WWYDW: What is your three-item wish-list for the 2026 Canucks offseason? canucksarmy.com/news/wdytt-wha…

@CanucksArmy White jersey should be the home jersey

One of the great Sedin shifts of all time 🤩 (🎥: CanucksVid | YouTube)

@SadClubCommish Bet on the Canucks to lose by -1.5 and they are fantastic!

The Habs are so fun. I hate it.

@patersonjeff They should trade all 6 seconds rounders in the next 3 drafts for the other top pick in this draft. Gavin AND Stenberg

voting no. The day #Canucks orchestrated moves necessary to draft Sedins probably stands as biggest day that set up next decade plus. So winning lotto certainly has potential, but also long way to go to match excellence Sedins produced in Hall of Fame careers

@JamieBonkiewicz @rcamcole Love this tweet

The same idiots who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That’s what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

@CanucksArmy It is CURSED! I keep screaming this from the rooftops! First player to wear it was MARK MESSIER!

Do you like these #Canucks jerseys? (📸: Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images)

@Marky_X_ Undaunted

What’s a tabletop game you’ll never stop recommending?

@wiley_canuck Not the organization, the WHALE. First guy to wear it was Messier. The orca has to go.

More proof this organization it’s cursed

@Canucks Dude is not aligned with what the fanbase wants

"I know the fans want to win and so do we, but I think we're seeing a group that is hopefully going to grow together here over the next couple of years to get stronger." 🗣️ General Manager Patrik Allvin speaks with the media following today's trade deadline.

The second-round pick coming back to Vancouver for Garland is Columbus pick in 2028. #Canucks will have multiple second-round picks in three consecutive seasons as a result of this deal.

@CanucksArmy 10000000% yes

Is now really the best time to trade Canucks’ Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser? canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver…

Switzerland is reportedly considering a population cap at 10 million.
