    Hegseth offered up a prayer today. See if it rings any bells.

    “The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen.”

    I know alot of you MAGA have a hard time reading English but the embargo announcement from CENTCOM said no Iranian tankers will be allowed in or out through the blockade. The CENTCOM announcement claimed no tankers were allowed into Iranian ports. The issue is if they're lying about something that can be easily verified how can anyone trust them about anything.

    The government lies about everything

    Two butt kissing lapdogs who bent over backwards and sideways this past year to take it from Trump and smile about how great he is afterwards. They aren't as bad as Trump as their party's potential nominees, but that's not saying much. They enabled and supported all the batsh*t crazy and destructive things Trump has done and said since he took office. They sat back and watched him lie and deceive Americans over and over again. They owned it, swallowed it down, and echoed it. They took part in sh*tting on America like Trump's childish meme, while cheering on Trump every step of the way. Nope. They aren't men. They are little suckups. I have no respect for those guys, and certainly don't think they have any integrity.

    It was funny though watching those two standing behind Trump at press conferences and trying to keep from gagging as he passed gas and pooped himself so many times. :p

    Some fun facts:

    During Trump’s first term, when he pulled out of the JCPOA, the US also sanctioned Iranian oil. Exports dropped from ~2.5m barrels/day to ~0.3m barrels/day, a roughly 90% drop. That lasted ~1 year before Iran "built" up a “shadow fleet” and redirected more oil to China.

    Before the war, Iran exported ~1.7m barrels/day, ~90% of which went to China. China was importing ~1.5m barrels/day from Iran, out of ~11m barrels/day total imports. That means Iran made up ~14% of China’s total oil imports.

    The US blockade only applies to ships entering or exiting Iranian ports.

    It seems Iran will be able to tolerate this pressure for at least several months. China does not appear to be especially desperate to resume Iranian oil imports, assuming Iran does not attempt to block oil exports from other countries to China, which it will not.

    This appears to be ineffective leverage and a losing proposition for the US and the global economy.

    Caveat: numbers from AI, so do your own fact check / research.

    Turn your ship around now jihadist Baghdad Bob aka astro123, prepare to be boarded and if you do not comply, we will blow your ass out of the waters. Lol

    Of all the clowns here in the D&D, Baghdad Bob aka astro123 is the lamest clown of them all. Remember the 4 years of the constant spamming he did to us on his demented daddy Joe Biden?

    No matter how hard you wish these jihadists to have victory over us, your low IQ brain cannot process that they’re losing half a billion dollars a day, all of their military have been virtually destroyed. What is up with you leftist clowns, always rooting for our enemies?

    Well, on the one hand, that's hilarious. But on the other hand, if I was an actual christian, I wouldn't put it in an actual prayer. Seems like prayer is not the time for flippant edgelord jokes. And on the third hand, pretty weaselly to deny it was a Pulp Fiction reference when asked even though it spoils the joke. At least own it. And on the fourth hand, it's scary to have a Sec of Defense constantly evoking religion when it comes to killing people and constantly insisting that God essentially told him to do it. This dude should not be in DoD at all.

    Triggered? Re-read it. If you’re still reaching that conclusion, the issue is your reading comprehension.

    That crazy old orange man is talking about his ballroom again today. He just can't stop. Nobody gives a damn about that ballroom right now, with Americans paying more for getting by. He's so out of touch. Oh, and now today he posted this BS....

    It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let's, GET IT DONE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    Who takes this lunatic seriously? He just makes up more and more wars he had solved. His desperate attempts to twist the truth just show how out of touch with reality he is.

    Neither he, Bibi, or Putin will stop waging war and killing innocent civilians in their power quests. I don't care what promises or lies they spew from day to day. They lie over and over and over. The bombings and killings will continue.
