I want this guy to turn on the DOJ office. I bet they quite often use AI. His career is over anyway.

Operation Praying Mantis - Wikipedia

They did mine it in 1988 during the Iran/Iraq war. They hit a US warship so Reagan attacked them and they stopped. Now we’re going bomb them anyway so why should they stop?

What could help calm this conspiracy? Actually releasing all the files when they said they would. As required by law.

The Pentagon didn’t look into this before starting a war when one of the main risks to the war was Iran closing the Strait? Wow, I feel so safe.

So, how is the Strait going to be secured for however many months or years we fight this war? It’s like people are just in total denial of geography.

Camp East Montana is a massive tent camp sitting on Fort Bliss military base near El Paso, Texas. It opened in August 2025 and almost immediately became the largest ICE detention facility in the entire United States holding over 2,700 people. In tents in the Texas heat.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

Ah the songs of the 70

For What It’s Worth

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

What does that look like? Negotiation for a cease-fire? And do we even trust Iran to honor a cease fire?

Iran won’t even admit that they’ve closed the Strait.
