No cease fire here. :(

l.smartnews.com/p-7JgqrEs0/X... “Like their boss,Trump’s lackeys lie about everything: state of the economy, the cost and need for the White House ballroom project, the shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz," Their bald-faced deceptions are designed to convince you that up is down, day is night."

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

OMG,soon much less discounted Oil from Canada, & add the Charge by Iran for Passage through the Strait of Hormuz means as Americans we will be paying more for gas forever.Thank Trump & the Republicans in Congress who allowed Trump to Apply Illegal Tariffs & piss off our Biggest Trading Neighbour 🇨🇦

Anyone who grew up watching the Twilight Zone can absolutely see that this is him. A child with too much power.

Retreat in progress:

Looks to me that with the functional closing of the straits the US has lost, and retreat is the only remaining option?

The US is dependent on its gross crude imports: chatgpt.com/s/t_69ae2428...

Endless war :(

This doesn't look good. :( www.aa.com.tr/en/world/rus...

With Russian military failures the risk of nuclear attack increases. :(

Demand is rising, and far exceeds production of approximately 13.5 million BPD: "Total products supplied—a proxy for U.S. oil demand—rose to 21.2 million barrels per day over the last four weeks, up 4.1% compared to the same period last year."

Trump ended the war but not so much the actual fighting:

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: "We know what the federal government says happened here. There was a time when we could take them at their word. That time is long past."

ICE agent fatally shoots fleeing Minneapolis motorist. "The driver... slowly backs up and then pulls forward, appearing to try to leave. An officer at the front of the vehicle fires 3 shots and the SUV travels a short distance before crashing into a parked car." minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/07/i...

This entire regime consists of depraved sociopaths.

Full on dictatorship:

Flip both houses of Congress so we can defund ICE please.

Baby's not drilling yet ;)

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
