I’m disappointed to see Tony Romo allegedly exercise such poor judgment by driving under the influence. That said, I don’t believe this should be a broadcasting career-killer. From what I’ve seen, he handled the situation pretty cordially, and I genuinely don’t understand why an incident like this would end his career on the air.

Yeah, I thought the same thing at first. The reporting does say commanders are being selective — they’re not trying to kill every incoming missile or drone if it’s headed toward an empty pad or a low-value site. They’re saving the expensive interceptors for the ones that actually threaten people or critical stuff. That’s just smart magazine management.
At the same time, the White House and the people in the chain who brief President Trump, the CENTCOM commander, and the Chairman, are saying we still have what we need for the missions we’re running right now. They’re not claiming the magazines are overflowing, but they’re also not saying we’re critically short for current ops. Trump’s line is pretty direct: we have far more than we need.
So both things can be true at once. Commanders on the ground are being careful with what they’ve got, and the Commander in Chief is being told the overall picture still supports the fight. As a former Marine, I go with the guy at the top of the chain. He’s the one getting the full brief from the people who actually own the problem.

@_MAGA_NEWS_ Nice troll, 😅.

You should check the facts before posting garbage.
The Biden administration significantly drew down the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, reaching historically low levels, and left it substantially below the starting point when leaving office.
Starting level (January 2021, Biden inauguration): ~638 million barrels
https://t.co/00O25ugYTO
Low point (around mid-2023): Dropped to 347–372 million barrels (lowest since the early 1980s), a drawdown of roughly 260–290 million barrels from the start
https://t.co/BRn8vkjD04
End of Biden term (late 2024/early 2025): Around 387–394 million barrels (per EIA data for late 2024/early 2025)

@sailing_warrior @jackunheard 😂, that's pretty funny.

Glad to hear you're a happily retired software engineer. From the tone of your message, though, 'happily' doesn't really come through; it reads more like frustrated and angry.
I didn't ask you to sugarcoat anything or stay silent. I just don't see the value in the personal insults and cult rhetoric. Reasonable people can look at the same facts and reach different conclusions about leadership styles, who surrounds politicians, policy outcomes, etc., without assuming the other side is evil or brainwashed. Plenty of smart, non-sycophantic experts and voters supported Trump for concrete reasons (economy, borders, peace deals, judicial appointments, etc. in his first term) just like others opposed him.
If you want real conversation instead of name calling, that's something worth working on in retirement. Otherwise, enjoy it and I hope the happiness part kicks in.

Not an engineer, got it. I don’t disagree with you on the magnets-getting-wet comment. Trump isn’t an engineer. He’s the elected President of the United States, and like every leader, he relies on experts around him for technical details. Just as administrative staff don’t always grasp every nuance from an engineer but still act on their best advice, presidents depend on the counsel of those they trust.
What I do take issue with is the reflexive need to smear anyone who supports him. Statements like yours; “If you don’t agree that Trump is a malignant narcissistic sociopath, then you also probably don’t believe you’re in a death cult. Enjoy the Kool-Aid”, reveal more about the speaker than the subject. That kind of language isn’t analysis; it’s just Trump Derangement Syndrome dressed up as insight. People can disagree with Trump’s wording or policies without descending into cult accusations and dehumanizing insults. We’d all be better off if we could get past that.

[Chad Hinsy @chadsfunemail]

@databob55 @jimstewartson I'm just curious as to what your engineering background is to support your rant? Given the language you use, I think there might be a little bit of Trump Derangement Syndrome there.

@lucyborowi @EricLDaugh @FranceRsistanc1 The US looks pretty good to me.

[Chad Hinsy @chadsfunemail]

@rhauck777 @EricLDaugh I disagree.

[Chad Hinsy @chadsfunemail]

We could just take all of that oil and sell it for the cost of providing security through the straight; but, that would be considered pillaging and that's against it international law. You know, like how Iran has been charging tolls to not attack ships through international waters which also is against international law.

@AntiLeftMemes He's an actor. Who cares what he thinks. Not me, that's for sure.

[Chad Hinsy @chadsfunemail]

Oh wait, I guess we all missed the trial where the full evidence came out. Because this guy got interviewed and said 'I didn't do it,' that's ironclad proof? Brilliant. Criminals never lie; especially when they're caught on video near the scene or arrested for destruction of government property. Hopefully you'll never end up on a jury.

[Chad Hinsy @chadsfunemail]

@MagaSucks2026 @EricLDaugh I support a president who's actually listening to the majority. Recent polls show 83-84% of Americans, including strong majorities of both parties, want voter ID requirements. That's democracy in action, not a tantrum.

There are millions of innocent people in Iran; regular families, young people, and dissidents who already despise the regime and risk their lives protesting it. Blanket bombing would slaughter civilians by the tens of thousands, create a massive humanitarian disaster, and likely rally many Iranians around the mullahs out of sheer survival and nationalism. That's exactly what the regime wants.
President Trump has always been clear: he wants to crush the Iranian regime's nuclear ambitions and terror support without starting another endless Middle East war that kills innocents and costs American lives and treasure. Maximum pressure through sanctions, targeted action against threats, and smart diplomacy is how you weaken dictators—not turning the Iranian people into martyrs.
