Meet the coders who are replacing themselves with AI. The Boomer pundits trying to impress Gen Z. What you need to know about the Strait of Hormuz. And much more.
"As a result of the tip, regulators took action against a company that had allegedly deceived investors regarding the performance of one of its divisions."
And what are the odds that whatever action was taken will result in an immediate pardon by our president? This sounds like a person (or people) squarely in his "pardon wheelhouse".
The War: The question is why a "truce' with the Barbarians? Did the downing of two planes influence Trump? Is it the realization that without troops on the ground we would only be kicking the can down the proverbial road? Do our forces need a pause to replenish equipment, supplies, arms, rethink our objectives? As with the Ukrainian invasion this war with Iran is more complex particularly with its effect on the global economy. It doesn't help that those NATO wimps are standing on the sideline. Their largesse speaks volumes. We are at war & the behavior of the National Socialist Democrat American Workers Party, acronym Morons is sickening. I would be profoundly disappointed if Van Hellen, Murphy, Col. Sanders, AOC, Shmucky, Ro Damna, Omar, didn't display symptoms of Fecalis Oralis. Then there's my favorite Giggles the Dolt whose thought processes are located in her axilla which send impulses to the three neurons in her frontal cortex. News flash: We did much damage in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya as War Crimes? I hope that Trump understands that one cannot negotiate with rabid beasts, barbarians, Neanderthals, Nazis, religious fanatics & some "Morons"! Win the damn WAR!
I would not begin with diplomacy. I would begin with clarity ( backed by the willingness to call bluffs).
“The Strait of Hormuz is not a bargaining chip—it’s a lifeline. And lifelines are not negotiated over; they are secured.”
Any hesitation invites aggression. If Iran looks cross eyed at us or presumes to dictate conditions send in the IDF (Israel’s pooper scoopers).
Iran’s willingness to close the strait is already the problem—not the act itself. Intent signals opportunity.
Frame the Situation thusly:
1. “You don’t wait for the punch—you break the man’s jaw first.” (Patton)
Allowing Iran to even posture about closing Hormuz emboldens them. Make our response visible— unmistakable military positioning—carrier groups, minesweepers, air dominance—before any closure occurs.
Audacity wins wars, not committees. Are you listening Europe? Democrats?
We’ve been patient for 47 years; tried the democratic party’s leadership ideas (give up hostages and releasing billions —- thanks Jimma and BHO) and ought not to have any patience for prolonged international deliberation.
I’m sure theJCS have made it clear to Trump—-chokepoints are decisive terrain. Whoever controls them controls the tempo of conflict—and the global economy.
If you’re going to fight, fight to win—fast.
If Iran attempts a shutdown, launch an immediate and overwhelming response:
Ukraine 🇺🇦 has hit Russian electric ⚡️ and power plants. So Ukraine 🇺🇦 is a war criminal. We 🇺🇸have supplied Ukraine 🇺🇦 with weapons. So we also war criminals-right? 🤣🤣🤣
But plenty of room to praise Trump for threatening to destroy an entire civilization in his foolish war of choice. What insane warmongering garbage. Also another hit piece against Tucker, who while definitely not the most sound of mind, was at least willing to denounce Trump for his disgusting conduct and rhetoric and to argue stridently against committing war crimes, at obvious cost to his own “brand” and audience numbers. I guess not wanting us to use nuclear weapons makes you desperate for attention.
Wow no mention of huge NYT story how Netanyahu talked Trump into starting Iran war against council of his own cabinet. Keep up the good Israeli propaganda, Free Press.
The objective in Iran should have been military control of Kharg Island and the Straits of Hormuz as they are clearly more powerful than a Nuclear Device or Ballistic Missiles. David may have just slain Goliath again.
Reading the comments this morning there appears to be little dissent from the left over the cease fire. Right now they're looking for something new to complain about.
Until then they'll just be forced to be happy......and silent.
The smug-looking American journalist has been released? Can’t wait to read her story - will it be full of empathy, sympathy for her deranged terrorist Jihadist captors and more criticism of the West???
Not really - she went where she was warned repeatedly by multiple sides not to venture as an American journalist, let alone a woman in this region. She's deranged.
Democrats are apparently pissed off that Trump did not commit war crimes. Now impeachment must be based on the fact he considered and threatened to commit them.
"The world held its breath...". I suspect most of the world has lost interest. Last they heard Trump was going to end a 'civilization' meaning the 47 year long disfigurement that has ruled Iran. Then there were going to be 'war crimes' all over Iran causing the usual Democrat/Tucker Carlson/Never Trumpers to go off like chimps on crack. Meantime, let's get on with life.
Reviewing today's Comments in the NYT and WaPo is further proof that the overwhelming majority of Democrats actually wanted Iran and Hezbollah to prevail against the U.S. and Israel. It's now becoming quite apparent that the only cure for TDS among the "No Kings" crowd is the election of Gavin Newsom.
A lot can happen in two weeks. While many talk about Iran's rearming, it may pay to consider Trump's rethinking, rearming and retaliations during and after these two weeks, as well. He may be preparing for a more swift victory while keeping the stock market and oil prices intact.
I think you have the TDS, the one where you would drink his bath water. Sad you are so captured, blinkered and clueless. Go outside, read a book, watch a movie. Slavering over a 79 year old man who wears foundation is sad
War crimes…again? When Mr. Ackerman writes something serious, please publish it.

If Iran attempts a shutdown, launch an immediate and overwhelming response:
• Neutralize naval assets (fast boats, mines, missile batteries)
• Secure shipping lanes
• Establish total control of the strait within days—not weeks
No half-measures, no incremental escalation.
What’s left of Iran’s Strategy?
First of all Iran’s threat is classic asymmetric leverage:
A weaker power trying to make up for strength with nuisance and nerve.
We can respect the boldness—but not tolerate it.
To U.S. Leadership (Democrats and Republicans)
“You don’t defend a choke point—you dominate it.”
Your duty is to push for:
• Permanent naval superiority in the region
• Preemptive readiness for mine warfare
• Clear red lines backed by immediate action
And above all:
Make it so damned clear that closing that strait would be the last mistake they ever make.
Regardless of your own personal beliefs there is no (none) historical evidence appeasement has worked .
• Strength prevents war more than words
• Speed prevents escalation
• Clarity prevents miscalculation
Your lens is victory in war—not management of global management.
Understand these points and we’d be out of there by now.
Had Carter launched what Trump did and the last 47 years has a different history.
Blood is on the hands of Carter. Failed negotiations is on the head of Obama.
“Keep the strait open—not by asking, but by making damn sure no one alive thinks they can close it.”
Ukraine 🇺🇦 has hit Russian electric ⚡️ and power plants. So Ukraine 🇺🇦 is a war criminal. We 🇺🇸have supplied Ukraine 🇺🇦 with weapons. So we also war criminals-right? 🤣🤣🤣

This is a deranged comment

This, but in real life...
ARTHUR: Eh. You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes, I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.

Man, we’d better hurry!!!!! Get those WW II bomber crews before they can die and escape justice!!

The horror . . . the horror . . .

The man plays a level of chess most people simply cannot envision.
I think it is more TACO. He touched a hot stove, much like a chastened 4 year old he won’t do again.
You obviously don't play chess.
Your political crush doesn’t even know how to spell chess let alone play it.
your TDS is showing.
He doesn't have to spell it.
I'm sorry your Iranian generals aren't winning for you. Maybe if you went over and helped, I am sure you could make some *excellent* suggestions.
🤣🤣🤣
