Wow! UAE oil chief Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber: 'The Strait of Hormuz is not open'

Holy cow! How is conducting a "freedom-of-navigation mission" considered a success when everyone had freedom of Navigation before trump started that war with Iran?!?

President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States had started “clearing out” the Strait of Hormuz, just as the first direct peace talks between Iran and the U.S. began in Pakistan. “We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to Countries all over the World, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. In the same post, he said that Iran was “losing big” and repeated a phrase that appeared to mock Islam.

U.S. service members are increasingly looking for ways to leave the military early rather than participate in President Donald Trump’s Iran war, a report has alleged.

The judge also struck off a section in Hegseth’s changes that referred to access to the Pentagon as a “privilege,” not a “right.” Friedman had ruled that while the court understood the importance of national security, “it is more important than ever that the public have access to information from a variety of perspectives about what its government is doing.”

President Donald Trump has been trolled by a retired U.S. Navy admiral over plans to line the Iranian regime’s pockets. Trump has floated the idea of teaming up with Iran to set up tolls on the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway reopened under Trump’s flimsy ceasefire. He told ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl about the “joint venture.”

All the unethical, illegal things trump is doing is catching up to him. And now trump has given Iran control of the Straights of Hormuz which has made this issue of Iran worse than what it was before the war. Threatening and insulting our allies instead of building a consensus, Threatening and insulting NATO instead of building a consensus, giving Israel full reign in their attacks which is causing the average taxpayer to not only question the current administration, but to question our own military. The uptick is part of a larger pattern of military members seeking ways to end their service, according to NPR interviews with several organizations like Galvin's and military members who deal directly with these issues. While there is no hard contemporaneous data on the number of members seeking to exit, the people NPR spoke to for this story say they have seen undeniable cracks in the military's ability to retain troops, largely due to low morale or ethical concerns.

Under anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been blocked from publishing a scientifically vetted study finding significant health benefits from this season’s COVID-19 vaccines, according to reporting by The Washington Post. The move adds to longstanding concern among health experts that chaos and political interference under Kennedy—a staunch anti-vaccine activist who has long falsely maligned COVID-19 vaccines—is deeply undermining science at federal agencies and beyond.
