Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

The Straits of Hormuz status: 6 ships passed today and 290 are waiting. The Straits have been effectively closed for 192 days. Ship traffic is 10% of normal. US strategy; sink Iranian ships. Iranian strategy: sink everyone else's ships. Analysis: like pouring gasoline on a fire.

Straits of Hormuz: 2 ships have transited today. 320 ship are waiting passage. The Straits are closed. The Trump Administration is incorrect in saying it is open

Straits of Hormuz: shutdown of ship traffic is now at 183 days which is over 6 months. 3 ships managed transit today. Trump owns stock in at least 2 major oil companies. Go figure.

Google changed the name of Lake Ontario? That action is so unprofessional and creates safety issues. Google has run its course and that corporation has gotten way to large. We need map services and email run by "we the people"

Straits of Hormuz: As of today it has been for the most part closed for 169 days. The last 24 hours 5 ships have transited this passage for 3 percent of normal.

Straits of Hormuz: 350 shops are waiting transit. 7 ships passes through in the last 24 hours. Ship traffic is 12% of normal. The staits are basically closed

Todd Blanche is incredibly corrupt, compromised in many ways, has multiple conflicts of interest, and has made dozens of really bad decisions all in favor of Donald Trump

544,000 US troops were stationed in Vietnam, at the peak of the war in 1969. 58,281 Americans killed. 7.5 million tons of bombs were dropped by the US during the Vietnam war...double the tons dropped by both sides in World War 2. The US was defeated. Lessons learned. Mistakes soon repeated

Hormuz Strait: ship traffic is 35 % of normal according to one web site. This passage is NOT open and don't believe US official announcements. Sorta open I suppose you could say..but really now

The Epstein saga could end today. Trump’s DOJ could release all the files. They could arrest known perpetrators. They could pass legislation to help survivors. But instead, they are CHOOSING to protect the President and Epstein’s friends. Time to turn the Epstein Files into Epstein trials.

Trump spent three hours at hospital today doing ‘tests’. It should only have been 20 minutes, but the first test was really hard.
