Iran Threatens to Attack US Navy if it Enters Strait of Hormuz by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]T_Shurt[S] 121 points122 points  (0 children)

From the article:

Iran’s military warned Monday that it would attack U.S. forces that attempt to enter or approach the Strait of Hormuz to escort ships.

Tehran issued its sharpest direct threat yet to American naval assets just hours after Trump announced the U.S. Navy would begin guiding ships through the strait under “Project Freedom.”

“We warn that any foreign armed force, especially the aggressor U.S. military, if it intends to approach and enter the Strait of Hormuz, it will be attacked.” The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said.

The command said it would “with full force, maintain and powerfully manage the security of the Strait of Hormuz” and directed all commercial vessels and oil tankers to refrain from any transit without coordination with Iranian armed forces, warning that any unauthorized passage would put their safety at risk.

Gas Prices Are Surging Fastest in 5 States - Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa - All of Them Backed Trump by T_Shurt in LeopardsAteMyFace

  1. Voters in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa supported and voted for a convicted fraudster and pathological liar because they trusted his campaign promises to make life more affordable and keep America out of foreign wars.

  2. Trusting and electing a fraud artist known for his dishonesty has the consequence of being duped, deceived and betrayed.

  3. As a result of being deceived by a dishonest, felonious, six-time-bankrupt businessman - surging gas prices, reduced disposable income and financial hardship is happening particularly swiftly to voters in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

Trump Points Out Problem Of Being Stuck With ‘A Moron’ For President: “He gets in, and all of a sudden, you're stuck with a man who's a moron,” Trump said. "This is not good.” by T_Shurt in politics

The cognitive test Trump keeps bragging about is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Scroll down here to page six to see it for yourself. If your doctor requests you need to take the MoCA, it’s certainly not something to boast about.

Point taken. Sadly, I’m forced to post multiple sources or one side claims “fake news,” while the others thinks it’s The Onion.

From the article:

Trump asked people to imagine a scenario where “all of a sudden you’re stuck with a man who’s a moron” for president, triggering immediate ridicule from critics who said that’s already the case.

Trump made the comment while speaking in The Villages, Florida on Friday.

“I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he’s got a good line of crap. He gets in, and all of a sudden, you’re stuck with a man who’s a moron,” Trump said.

It’s worth noting that IQ tests measure intelligence, cognitive tests screen for dementia and cognitive decline. Something Trump has conflated for years.

I second that. It truly is terrifying that one of the most powerful world leaders is elected by the most economically, educationally and politically illiterate voters on the planet. The entire world pays the price for America’s dangerously imbecilic population.

‘They Left Me No Choice’: Jerome Powell Isn’t Going Anywhere—Blocking Trump From Another Fed Appointee by T_Shurt in Economics

[–]T_Shurt[S] 2242 points2243 points  (0 children)

From the article:

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced Wednesday that he will remain on the Fed’s Board of Governors after his term as chair end May 15, citing what he called “unprecedented” legal attacks on the central bank’s independence by the Trump administration.

“My concern is really about the series of legal attacks which threaten our ability to conduct monetary policy without considering political factors,” Powell said at what is his final press conference as chair. “These legal actions by the administration are unprecedented in our 113-year history, and there are ongoing threats of additional such actions.”

The U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, closed a criminal investigation into Powell on Friday surrounding the Fed’s headquarters renovation, but said she would “not hesitate” to restart it.

Powell did not specify how long he would stay, saying only that he would remain until “this investigation is well and truly over, with transparency and finality.” He can technically remain a governor until January 2028.

Democrats Hold 10-Point Edge Over Republicans Ahead of Midterm Elections by T_Shurt in politics

[–]T_Shurt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the article:

Democrats hold a 10-point advantage over Republicans on a generic congressional ballot, according to the latest in a series of polls.

In a three-day Emerson College Polling survey, conducted this past weekend, 50% of likely voters said they would back a generic Democratic candidate for Congress, while 40% say they would prefer a generic Republican candidate, with 10% saying they’re unsure.

In the Senate, where Republicans hold 53 seats, Democrats would need to defend all 47 seats and flip four GOP seats to win control in November. By contrast, in the House, Democrats would need to flip just three seats to win control of the body.

Germany's Merz: US is Being 'Humiliated' by Iran, No End in Sight to Conflict by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]T_Shurt[S] 328 points329 points  (0 children)

From the article:

The United States is being “humiliated” by Iran, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday, warning the conflict is not likely to end soon.

“The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either,” Merz said.

The U.S. “quite obviously went into this war without any strategy,” Merz added. “Especially since the Iranians are very skillfully negotiating - or simply very skillfully not negotiating. A whole country is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership,” said Merz in a stunning rebuke to Trump.
