You can only legitimately charge a toll on something if you can provide a reasonable expectation of safe passage through the tolled property.

Does Trump believe tankers carrying highly explosive cargo will risk getting hit with drones and rockets for the "privilege" of paying 20% to a nation whose broken navy cannot protect them?

And for those vessels that refuse to pay Trump's demanded 20% toll, will the U.S. Navy open fire on them, or board them and steal their cargo, engaging in brazen piracy on the high seas?

The only truly safe passage through the SoH is under the protection of Iran, not the U.S. Navy which has proven itself to be terrified of approaching Iran's shores (and incapable of defeating God's geography that put the strait there in the first place).

The U.S. cannot reliably force its control over a water channel located half way around the world, and also located adjacent to a nation that will fiercely resist any such attempt. Trump might as well shake his fist at God and pretend to control the orbit of the moon.

You describe the incident as "a bit delayed in driving forward." In America and most democracies, being blockaded by armed settlers and the IDF for 75 minutes (which no one disputes) would constitute detention/false imprisonment and the perpetrators arrested. Israel's response not understanding what rights are is almost more disturbing than the horrific incident itself witnessed by the NYT photographer, other Americans, and Israelis and confirmed by the Jerusalem Post, NYT, and Reuters.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Massie says he's moving to strip military integration with Israel out of the defense bill:

"What's even more concerning is Section 219 in the NDAA, which is going to start co-mingling our military supply chains and technology with Israel's.

It doesn't make sense to do that with a country of 10 million people.

So I've offered an amendment to strip Section 219 from that bill."

Integrated supply chains lock America into another country's conflicts and decisions, sacrificing flexibility.

Terrible idea. The recorded vote will show who agrees.

PabloReports: It was the IDF and Israeli settlers who detained you over there. What are the next steps in holding them accountable?

Khanna: They need to prosecute those extremist settlers. They need to open up investigations against the IDF. They already admitted that we were there properly. Then they said that the IDF soldiers helped break up the violent settlers. Now they’ve walked that back, and they said, no, actually, the IDF soldiers were part of the detention.

They need to hold these individuals accountable, and they owe the American people an apology.

PabloReports: Should Democrats take the majority in the midterms, what are some of the tools in your accountability kit for holding Netanyahu, the IDF, and the settlers accountable?

Khanna: But we don’t have to wait until we take back Congress. We need to pass the Massie Amendment this week to zero out aid, and we need to put extraordinary pressure on the IDF to arrest violent settlers in the West Bank who are terrorizing Palestinians and Palestinian Americans.

We can do that tomorrow. We don’t need a long peace process to arrest those violent settlers. And we need to demolish the outposts. The outposts are illegal settlements even under Israeli law. That needs to go within the next 60 days. We should be demanding that as a Congress and as an administration.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Rupert Murdoch is a radical zionist and a historic warmonger. The job of outlets he owns, like @FoxNews and @nypost, is to serve Israel and start more wars. It's propaganda disguised as news. You'd be nuts to poison your mind by consuming false information from those outlets.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

This is where Netanyahu brags about the way "US" Senator Lindsey Graham groveled to Israel in humiliating fashion.

Btw, what he says here about Israel not wanting any more US aid is 100% bullshit. They want ANOTHER TEN YEARS OF FUNDING and want to merge our military technology.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Three years ago I sued @PatrickByrne for lying about me. He claimed that I took a bribe and committed treason. He implied I was in some part responsible for the Hamas attack of October 7th.

His lies caused real damage and endangered my family.

On Friday I was awarded $1.7M in punitive damages by a Reagan-appointed federal judge. The court determined that everything he said about me was a complete fiction.

For those of you who don’t know Patrick Byrne, he is the former Overstock CEO who lost control of his company when it became public he was sleeping with convicted Russian agent Maria Butina. He is the man who was in the Oval Office with Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell leading up to the January 6th insurrection.

He is a clownish footnote in history. But his lies travel far and wide. He is a fraud who did the bidding of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon.

This isn’t the first defamation case brought against Byrne, and it won’t be the last. Even after losing, he is still doing it.

He continues to tell his audience he has “three dynamite voicemails” and a former federal agent whose testimony confirms his story. Byrne had three years to bring that evidence to court. He never produced it. The voicemails he did produce, the court found, “do not mention a bribe, implicate contemporaneous involvement in any illegal scheme by Plaintiff, or otherwise independently corroborate Defendant’s story.” The former federal agent Byrne relied on, John Moynihan, gave sworn testimony that contradicted him. The FBI agent Byrne claimed had backed him up denied it under oath.

Those are not my findings. Those are the findings of a federal court. And nothing prevents Byrne from releasing the voicemails he keeps promising his audience. He never has, because the court has already listened to what he produced and found they prove nothing.

Patrick will try not pay this judgment. He didn’t pay the $34,969 the court ordered six months ago either. His strategy is delay. Fire the lawyer. Skip the hearing. File nonsense with courts that have already ruled. Repeat the lie on Alex Jones while the clock runs.

He is not a whistleblower or a spy. He is a man who got played by a Russian intelligence asset, lost his company over it, and has been performing a spy fantasy on the internet ever since.

He is a coward who wouldn’t even show up in court to face me. He is hiding in Dubai, where he fled during my case to avoid being deposed, and told the court a story about a Venezuelan hit squad to explain it.

He will run from this judgment the same way he ran from my trial. Fine. Every defamatory statement is a new lawsuit. I have as much time as he has words.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

100% projection. He's describing the American empire and his own inability to stick to any "deal" he signs. And there's only one empire that used nuclear weapons on civilian populations the minute they developed them: The United States of America.

The most unreliable people in the world are neocons who run the American empire. Or, technically, they can be counted on to lie, assassinate, bomb, destroy, threaten, coerce and punish the innocent.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Yes, it is apartheid. This is about the facts on the ground.

Anyone who doesn't understand this reality should go to Palestine in the occupied West Bank & watch the videos we are putting out this week. https://t.co/nj3VKW9fNt

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

Trump has now restarted the most unpopular war in American history after walking away from every single original war aim last week. He conceded uranium enrichment, missiles development, their relationship with Hezbolla and the nuclear dust.

We’re now solely fighting now over the strait and Lebanon, two non issues before the war.

This thing is an indefensible disaster and all of the people who cheerlead it have been revealed for the clowns and traitors they are.

[Ana Kasparian @AnaKasparian]

There’s a pretty massive difference between a terrorist state dropping 2,000 pound bombs on civilians and a 70 something Senator who relished it dying of natural causes. Please grow a fucking brain cell.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

The Jerusalem Post has debunked 3 IDF propaganda points being used against us.

1. They confirm that we were not in a restricted zone
2. The IDF soldiers did not disperse the extremist settlers
3. The IDF and settlers acted illegally

[Nina 🐙 Byzantina @NinaByzantina]

Whenever a public figure dies, we get a bunch of virtue signalers advising us to not speak ill of the dead. This comes from the Graeco-Roman saying, "De mortuis nil nisi bonum," which implies that the dead cannot defend themselves, should they be criticized.

But this is not the only famous saying about the dead. Voltaire, for instance, wrote "On doit des égards aux vivants; on ne doit aux morts que la vérité," that is, "To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth." In other words, we should offer an honest and accurate assessment of their legacy instead of whitewashing it.

It would be understandable if the Graeco-Roman saying applied to the funeral of a hypothetical uncle John, who meant well but drank a little too much on weekends.

In contrast, public figures wielding significant political power and/or possessing significant wealth, whose actions translate into tangible, quantifiable results impacting thousands (millions) of people, should absolutely be scrutinized and evaluated.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.

When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.

They made a huge mistake.

You will be hearing more soon. https://t.co/rZw8bRAn64

I love how people who’ve normalized celebrations of death are clutching their pearls today.

Just pretend I’m talking about a Palestinian toddler. Maybe then you can relate to my post.

Look at the depth of pure evil of this guy:

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

Exactly this. I will NEVER again take a lecture on morality from the people who defend(ed) the carpet bombing of Gaza.

Gaza changed me in a way I will probably never be able to articulate. It ripped the masks off of everyone in positions of power and influence.

It took awhile for normies to wake up. I understand the military grade propaganda Americans are subjected to from birth.

But for the power-players in American life and politics it was a test and 99.5% on both sides failed. So as far as I’m concerned they can all sit down and STFU forever.
