He was a down to earth guy. Not a hint of pretension.

I remember going out for tacos at 2 am back in the day.

He was always a super nice guy. RIP

The defense secretary has gone further in his public statements, saying, "Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital V military victory," Hegseth said at a Pentagon press briefing on April 8, shortly after Mr. Trump declared a ceasefire with Iran. He added, "By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come."

Roughly 60% of the naval arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is still in existence, the officials said, including fast-attack speed boats. On Wednesday, Iranian gunboats attacked several commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, shortly after President Trump announced he was unilaterally extending a ceasefire to allow more time for peace talks.

Iranian air power has been significantly degraded but not erased, said the officials, who requested anonymity from CBS News because they were not authorized to discuss the matters publicly.

About two-thirds of Iran's air force is still believed to be operational, the officials said, after an intensive U.S. and Israeli campaign that struck thousands of targets, including storage and production facilities.

Previously, the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have described the U.S. effort, called Operation Epic Fury, as essentially destroying Iran's military capacity.

The book makes plain the frightening rapidity with which the illness traveled, and often because of troop movements in the central US, where infected soldiers traveled by train, in close quarters, from one base to another, giving an drawing infection along the way and when housed in new locations.

Exactly why the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918-1920 spread and flourished in the U.S.

America's being run by clueless, classless clowns

The last of the oil tankers that left the strait before the war have made their deliveries by tomorrow. Shortages & higher prices are coming to a gas station near you.

Iran found out they already have a nuclear weapon: stopping oil from leaving the Persian Gulf. 20% of the world's oil supply. Not to mention fertilizer farmers need this planting season, rare earth metals, helium, etc etc.

Iran holds all the cards.

Unrelated but funny

They had to keep Trump out of the Situation Room because he was raving and screaming about Europe not helping him.

He's dangerous!

So, they paid informants so they'd know what the heck is going on in that underbelly?

The article's an interesting read.

Trump has screwed the pooch.

Hegseth is a POS!

Gee, that Nobel Peace Prize he's been salivating for is slipping away LOL

He's acknowledging the salivation (and his gargantuan appetite) with TACOs

"Dated" deliveries of oil are over $150 a bbl.

Another Taco Tuesday

Sounds like a Jimmy Buffett song

$3.99 here.

Look at the empty arena for Vance's speech:

They should give Vance the Nobel Peace Prize just to piss off Trump.

Why did Trump send inexperienced negotiators? For something as vital to the world economy as peace in the Gulf?

RFK Jr is an example of what years of heroin addiction does to a brain.

That d-bag doesn't have a good future where the public is concerned. If I saw him at a restaurant I'd fart in his face.

When I was a teenager concert ticket prices were 4, 5, and $6. General admission. Bands made money. Local promoters made money. The public wasn't gouged at ever turn by Live Nation (who're now the concert promoters) and their subsidiary, TicketMaster.

I have a friend who tours with a stadium act whose concerts are handled by Live Nation. They're nickel and diming acts to the point they don't even buy business class tickets for long haul flights.

I flew up to Chicago last summer for a concert at Wrigley Field. I was comped the tickets. Their regular price? Over $1000!!!

This year, tickets in the nosebleed seats at stadiums are over $300. Live Nation and Ticket Master can kiss my grits. I'll never pay hundreds of dollars to see an act. And it isn't the acts that're making a majority of the money. It's Live Nation and TM.

F him.

He's from the "I got mine, f you" Republican/MAGAt wing.

I'm tired of Trump's idea of "winning."

How 'bout you?

Is Jesus rubbing Trump's ------?
