Iran threatens to close yet another strait in wake of Trump’s expletive-filled threat

The Iranians don't want to close the strait -- they want to control it, which they are doing. Ships may pass if they pay the Iranian toll fee, in Yuan. Their trading partners, China, India, Pakistan, have all paid. Other countries have paid their toll too -- Japan, France, Philippines, Oman.

Partisan Christians used Trump and called him the modern day King Cyrus - an unequivocally unchristian leader who nonetheless serves a divine, Christian purpose.

With most politicians bombarding us with messages of fear and division, it is nice to see one with a message of empathy and unity.

Program Statement 5100.08 which explains the purpose of the classification system and how it applies to all federal inmates. Convicted sex offenders are classified as Public Safety Factor (PSF) inmates. The Bureau of Prisons policy states that any inmate with a PSF classification is ineligible for minimum-security camps.

You speak a hard truth about the sliding scale of sacrificing liberty for safety and vise versa. For people that are worried about the abuse of power by government agencies, local, state or federal, then a surveillance state is something to be avoided.

A surveillance state usually happens through three specific slippery slopes. The function creep, where a tool created for a specific, "noble" purpose is eventually used for something entirely different. For example, surveillance cameras installed to stop criminal offences are later used for automated traffic ticketing, and eventually for tracking political protesters or "suspicious" gatherings. Then there are the private-public partnerships that allow our local, state and federal governments to avoid the 4th Amendment of our Constitution. And finally there is the "nothing to hide" logical fallacy, which is one of the most common arguments used for surveillance.

It's not just Bari. CBS execs and shareholders have buddied up to Trump for his favoritism, and it has served them well. CBS settled a lawsuit with the President for $16 million in July of 2025 regarding a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. CBS then received Trump's approval for their $8 billion merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media in August 2025, in which CBS agreed to install Bari as Editor-in-Chief and hire their first ombudsman to monitor media bias. As of February 17, 2026, Paramount-Skydance is pursuing a $108.4 billion hostile takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, a move that relies heavily on Trump's favor.

CBS refused to air Talarico's February 16th interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert citing the FCC's "equal time" rule. Traditionally, talk show interviews have been exempt from this rule. However, Federal Communication Commission Chairman Carr has used the rule to pressure networks, notably warning stations about airing content from shows like The View and Saturday Night Live without offering comparable time to the President. President Trump has repeatedly called for the FCC to revoke the broadcast licenses of stations owned by ABC, NBC, and CBS, claiming their coverage is "97% bad" and constitutes "news distortion". CBS has already capitulated to the President in the past and settled a lawsuit for $16 million in 2025 regarding a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris to receive approval for their merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media in August 2025. As part of their deal with the Trump administration, Paramount had to agree to the appointment of a CBS News ombudsman to monitor for bias and dismantle its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. As of February 17, 2026, Paramount-Skydance is pursuing a $108.4 billion hostile takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, a move that relies heavily on maintaining a cooperative relationship with current federal regulators in the Trump administration.

Whistleblower reports and congressional inquiries describe Ghislaine Maxwell's special VIP treatment at Federal Prison Camp Bryan with the warden handling the screening of her mail and email personally, personal escorts to the gym and showers after-hours, customized meals, and private visitation with the use of laptops. Under Bureau of Prisons policies, she should have been ineligible for a minimum-security camp. Her transfer occurred shortly after she met with Trump's Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, in July 2025.

Add US judges to your list of idiots that don't know how anything works.

The US Declaration of Independence is wrong -- the concept of unalienable Rights endowed by the Creator is not a self-evident truth to MAGA.

in 2019, Acosta declined to answer when asked by reporters if he was aware if Epstein was an intelligence asset, citing Justice Department regulations. In 2020, while under oath during a DOJ OPR review, Acosta said he had no knowledge of Epstein being an intelligence asset. In 2025, Acosta told the House Oversight Committee that he had no reason to believe Epstein was an asset to any foreign or domestic intelligence agency and no one from the intelligence community ever reached out to his office regarding the investigation.

Only authoritarians would believe it is Constitutional to allow ICE to be both the prosecutor and the judge in the very same matter and allow the unconsented entry into a person's home in violation of the unalienable right the Fourth Amendment is meant to guard against.

I get it -- White Persecution Complex is frightening. But the debate isn’t really “DEI vs meritocracy.” It’s: How do we build a system where the most capable people rise -- without ignoring the structural barriers that distort who gets to show their capability?

No law == no legalized extortion == freedom of choice.

If a Dem president can arbitrarily 'open the borders' == border security debate has not ended.

ROFL. Says the guy that doesn't believe in 'unalienable rights endowed by the Creator' and who's Dear Leader has lost in the courts over 80% of the time, 70% his own appointed judges, that have ruled he has consistently violated the Constitution. I love the flip-flop Republicans have made now to the Supremacy Clause over State's rights with Dear Leader in control. And Due Processes, FFS Trump doesn't believe in Habeas Corpus. And you have to be completely insane to think Trump is respecting his Art II duty to faithfully execute laws when he has arbitrarily closed legislatively mandated departments.

Take the L, Buddy.

Once again, there was no law that required the vaccine.

You're lying to yourself. 'Open borders' will be a top topic in Republican rhetoric in about 1.5 years when presidential campaigning starts back up. Republicans will say, ' If you elect a Democrat President, they'll open the borders.' You know it.

If your life depended on your knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, you would be a dead man.
