The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: Iran has just launched anti-ship cruise missiles from southern Iran toward vessels under US escort in the US-backed southern Omani corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, per multiple initial reports.
Heavy US military activity is currently underway over the Strait with at least 5 US Air Force KC-135/KC-46A refueling tankers + 2 US Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft.

A truly sad story, but at least your life didn’t turn to crap afterwards. You’ll meet up with your first wife again someday in the hereafter.

LOL I’m sure someone who had done all those things would make a superior president. They’d have a greater idea of how the universe works. But like you say no one who is really qualified would want the job. What a bundle of headaches!

Dolly Parton’s passing has special meaning for Silverngold. Here’s why.
ipso, that’s right.
Trump is mostly there, but is hamstrung by a million nobodies who obstruct the show because they can’t do anything else. The following rules must also apply to anyone wanting to enter the “public service” as well as to politicians who always claim that they are willing, nay, consider it would be a priviledge to serve us, if we would only elect them to power service.
Meet a payroll of at least ten people, non-relatives, for 13 consecutive weeks.
Kill and dress a bull.
Spend a year working on a farm.
Run an under 8’s sporting team and have them working as a team at the end of the season.
Be the husband of one wife keeping his children submissive and respectful in every way, for if a man does not know how to manage his household, how can he care for the country?
In practice we find that 99.9% of people who actually want to run the country should be disqualified on that ground alone. Nobody who is really able to do the job would ever want it. Nobody who wants it should ever have it.

The Birmingham mayor and city council, which is dominated by Muslims, has tried to place restrictions on the English national flags. They don’t want the flags placed on public infrastructure such as lamp posts or highways.
The flags of other countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and India have no restrictions.

You’re right there … not really any choice.
It’s a problem that so many new politicians have so little real world experience. Some have never had a job or supported themselves. This may not be Trump but he’s got different problems.
Cheers
treefrog, ipso, not really a choice, was it?
Trump the least worse, really. I too had high hopes that he would have learnt from his first term mistakes, but apart from some promising health policies, not so. Debt, foreign policy, election integrity; the herd of elephants in the room are thriving. It’s the same here in Oz, and throughout most of the world. The bureaucrats rule the roost. Politicians are incredibly ignorant spouting what is put in front of them for their speeches as they haven’t a functioning brain cell between their whole party. I’ve just listened to our lying turds on TV saying that data centres will be mandated to only use renewables! Despite forecasts that they will double demand ….
The Fed Psychop
Don’t do anything to stop inflation or spending, just say they will and sacrifice the commodities while the dollar devalues and world banks buys more gold and tech and data stocks that want to rule the world and governments that want to bring out digital currency someday get a discount on rare earths.

Roger that! 🙂
ipso,
the donald may fall short of perfection, but as i remember, we were given a choice between him and kamaltoe. i did not have any problem with that choice.

Trump has done a lot of good things, I don’t deny that.
But he’s also failed in some respects.
No real Epstein file disclosure.
Started this war with Iran after saying he was the anti war candidate.
Massive deficit spending.
I think Rubio or Vance would be much better presidents. I hope the Republican’s keep their positions in the house and senate this November.
I could never vote for Democratic socialism in the final analysis.

C’mon, Trump and his administration announce major accomplishments every day. Real accomplishments, not just planned accomplishments.
The list is already endless, after just a year and a half. Even while having to constantly and continuously fight insane judges and governors and mayors.
And a senate that hasn’t cooperated at all.
Just look at the time and energy spent trying to get the simple Save Act passed. Enormous, enormous unnecessary time and energy. It is the no-brainer of no-brainers.
So many people so brainwashed for so long, so many generations, every little, obvious suggested improvement becomes a major battle.
I don’t why he renamed the lake, but so what? He’s accomplished at least a thousand things. That no one else could have. Or even had the insight, much less the guts and fortitude, to try.
A thousand more positive things than any other president.

There’s way too many woke fools in Washington State! We’re going downhill in the CA direction.

Illegals have rights ya know! 🙂
I was talking to my future daughter-in-law about illegals, and she said that call them illegals was “harsh.”
She went to school in your state BTW. 🙂

The Amish are threatening a mass exodus from New York over the vaccine fight.
The Amish population in NY is around 25,000 people.
NY is insisting that their children receive between 24 and 27 jabs to attend school.
Their schools, which have zero State or even Federal funding, refused to comply on religious grounds.
Their schools have already incurred $118,000 in fines for failing to comply.
The fight now heads to the Supreme Court, and I pray for their victory.
I do have one question: as NY is a sanctuary state, are they forcing all the illegals to get these jabs, or do they get a pass and just cash?
It’s the weather

Increasingly extreme weather, due to the century-high intensity of this year’s El Niño, is significantly disrupting everything around our planet, including copper mine supply.
In mid-July, flooding created severe power outages in Chile, leading to mine stoppages. In August, severe droughts in Papua New Guinea led to critically low water levels on the Fly River, the largest by discharge volume in the Oceania region. Low water levels are affecting shipments from the OK Tedi copper mine, which exports 250,000-400,000 tonnes of copper-gold-silver concentrate 850 kilometres down the river every year.
While El Niño is expected to persist into early 2027… its impact will last much longer. Everyone is now forced to rethink the climate impact of their supply chains… as well as the impact on our everyday lives.
There is no easy copper supply anywhere in the world anymore…

We’ve always known that inflation is bad for pm’s.
This almost feels like they are giving the shorts a chance to get out while they can.
I don’t think any of this is going to matter by the end of September. I don’t know why I even bother to watch anymore, it’s a waste of energy.
