@deepen915@CIADirector Your level of ignorance is evident. What’s astounding is that you put it on full display for the entire world to see. Presidential elections are won or lost by Electoral College votes, not the popular vote. You’re welcome.
@jimiuorio Capitalism is a nature based system. The strong survive, the strongest thrive, and the weak struggle. I want to live in an economic system that rewards excellence, AND punishes failure. Socialism is completely unnatural, and invariably leads to tyranny.
@MikeNellis Your rhetoric causes all this. Your people take up weapons and try to shoot people, and you have the unmitigated gall to blame us. You people are sick.
Just going to leave this here in case you’re really interested in the truth on this. I’ve been watching you for a long time, and plan to continue. However, you need to dig a little deeper before making statements like this one, and you’re certainly smart enough to not rely on @thedailybeast for anything factual.
JUST IN: The Vatican has just issued a statement regarding recent reports concerning former U.S. Nuncio Cardinal Christophe Pierre & U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Elbridge Colby. The statement reads:
“As confirmed by His Excellency Christophe Pierre, former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, his meeting with Mr. Elbridge Andrew Colby formed part of the Pontifical Representative’s regular duties and provided an opportunity for an exchange of views on matters of mutual interest. The account given by certain media outlets regarding this meeting does not correspond to the truth in any way.” @HolySeePress
@SenThomTillis You are such a disgrace. You are simply polishing your resume to appeal to the leftist news media so @MSNOWNews and @CNN will invite you on as the “Republican” voice. You are a self aggrandizing shill who is the poster boy of exactly what’s wrong with the @GOP. Good riddance!
@LisaK1st@Sadie_NC Christian speaking here. I see it as desecration. Whoever allowed this is not charitable, they are pagans who have no knowledge whatsoever of the God of the Bible.
You call out “white supremacy” by name, yet you leave out the ideology that consistently carries out and supports acts of violence like this was intended to be. Oddly enough, they apparently worship the same god you do. I would assume you that would entitle you call them out, if what they are doing really violates the tenets of your religion. Odd that you just let it slide…
Again, if what you are postulating, is that the average American’s life is anything even comparable to the life that Bernie Sanders lives, you’re delusional. I’m not jealous at all of the life that Bernie lives per se, what started all of this was simply me pointing out that in 2016 all of the millionaires and billionaires were evil greedy people according to Bernie. After he ran for president, and his wealth skyrocketed to where he was undeniably a multimillionaire, millionaires were mysteriously not greedy evil people keeping everyone else poor, it was solely the billionaires. He’s a grifter. Finally, i’m not defending nor am I doing PR work for billionaires, they paid people very well to do that. I simply don’t want financially unsuccessful people like you, or the grifter like Bernie Sanders, deciding how much wealth is too much for anyone in this country to have. It’s not your place, it’s not his place. You don’t like your station in life, go get to work, fix it. Then when you become a multimillionaire, you can write direct checks to as many people as you want to to lift them out of poverty. That’s how it works. but if you take anything from this conversation, take this: Nobody owes you anything. “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Nobody owes you anything. They provide services and solutions that people or businesses need and are willing to pay for. That’s how most people become wealthy. You and I have the exact same opportunity. I want the system to stay that rewards excellence AND punishes failure. Capitalism is not perfect, but it is a nature based system that has delivered more people from poverty than any other.
Again, this statement reeks of a juvenile mind. You obviously have no idea how the tax codes work, nor do you understand why those tax breaks are there. I can’t educate you on that in this medium. Do a little research outside of what the guardian has to offer, I’m talking about real academic study, and you’ll see why those tax breaks are there. Don’t say things like this. It really makes you sound dumb, and I don’t believe you are.
That entire thought process is very juvenile, oozes with envy, not to mention factually inaccurate. The average American enjoys among the highest material quality of living of anywhere on the planet. I know you’ll say “what about affordability? What about healthcare? What about time off?” Well, the interesting dichotomies here is this: the US offers the highest potential for upward mobility and opportunity, yet offers less safety nets than other countries. Folks like you want both. You don’t get to eat you big ole cookie and still have it. The difference between folks who think like you, and folks who think like me is that all I want is an opportunity, I don’t want your money, I don’t need your help. Folks, who think like you, don’t have confidence in yourself, don’t think you can make it on your own, and have given up because you have listened so long to grifters like Bernie Sanders who have convinced you that billionaires are sitting around thinking about what they can do to keep you poor. It’s really a pathetic way to approach life in the greatest country in the world. Why do you think that people from all over the world are dying to come here? They want opportunity, not safety nets. And here you are, the grandson of multimillionaires crying about how unfair the system is. Too many safety nets lead people to make dumb financial decisions, and they make failure tolerable. You are obviously a somewhat intelligent person. Your Senate structure sucks, but you’re no dummy. I’m hoping that you are considerably younger than me. Why have you given up already?
Unlike you, I don’t want to live in a system that is driven and ruled by envy. All people who believe like you are just envious. You think since you don’t believe you will ever be able to match those people’s level of wealth, that they shouldn’t have it either. By the way, you have absolutely no idea what I have, nor what I am worth. I’m not defending anyone, they don’t need my defense. I am defending a system that allows the individual to determine what enough is, instead of politicians or people like you. Why do you get to decide how much is too much? One could make an argument that nobody, including grandma and grandpa, don’t NEED millions, so let’s just take it from them too. What particular qualities make you or Bernie or anyone else for that matter the arbiters of these things? You obviously are not financially successful, else you wouldn’t be lobbying to punish those who are.
@MarioNawfal Maybe have this guy on for an interview @MarioNawfal. He seems to have a difference of opinion with ALL the guests you’ve interviewed since we started bombing Iran.

BREAKING: The United States has confirmed B-52 Stratofortress bombers are now striking Iran.
Understand what this means by understanding the sequence.
On February 28, the US sent B-2 Spirits. The B-2 is a stealth bomber. It costs $2.1 billion per aircraft. The US has 20 of them. You send B-2s when the enemy’s air defences are intact and you need to penetrate undetected. Four B-2s dropped 160,000 pounds of bunker-busting ordnance on hardened underground facilities in the opening wave.
On March 2, the US sent B-1 Lancers. The B-1 is a supersonic bomber. Faster than the B-2 but not stealth. You send B-1s when air defences have been degraded enough that speed, not invisibility, is sufficient to survive. The B-1s conducted the deepest raids into Iran since 2003.
On March 3, the US sent B-52s. The B-52 is a 70-year-old subsonic aircraft. It is not stealth. It is not fast. It has a radar cross-section the size of a barn. It flies at 650 miles per hour at 50,000 feet and it is visible to every radar system on earth.
You send B-52s when there is nothing left to shoot them down.
That is the sequence. B-2 when defences are lethal. B-1 when defences are degraded. B-52 when defences are gone. The US Air Force just told you, through aircraft selection alone, that Iran’s integrated air defence network no longer exists as a functional system.
The B-52 carries 70,000 pounds of ordnance per sortie. It can launch cruise missiles from standoff range without entering defended airspace at all. The US has 76 of them versus 20 B-2s. Deploying B-52s quadruples the available bomber strike capacity, and each aircraft can deliver more payload per sortie than any other platform in the inventory.
1,700 targets struck. 300 new sites added in the latest wave. $779 million in ordnance expended on the first day alone. Six American service members killed. Eleven aircraft lost. The campaign is intensifying, not tapering.
Here is where this connects to every post I have written today.
The B-52 deployment proves the conventional campaign is succeeding. Iran’s air defences are neutralised. Its underground facilities are being collapsed. Its missile production is being destroyed. Its leadership is being eliminated.
And the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
Because the B-52 cannot sink a mine. It cannot intercept a Shahed drone launched from a fishing boat. It cannot neutralise an anti-ship missile on a mobile coastal launcher. It cannot stop a proxy in Yemen from firing at a tanker in the Red Sea. The asymmetric threat that closes shipping lanes operates beneath the altitude where strategic bombers are relevant.
The US is winning the war it chose to fight. It is not winning the war the insurance market cares about. The B-52 is the most powerful expression of that gap.
70,000 pounds of ordnance per sortie. And Lloyd’s of London still will not write a policy for a tanker transiting Hormuz.
That is the thesis. In one sentence.

@MarketMintGraph@MarioNawfal I just don’t get it. I don’t like echo chambers at all, but I have not seen him have on one person who is not against this conflict. It’s very unlike his previous coverage.
