SharkNinja is so good at designing products that pop on social media.
Its new water filtration Brita competitor is all over IG right now. People are filtering absurd liquids (pickle juice, Sunny D) and the before-after visuals are going viral.
The House is set to vote on several bills before they leave on Thursday and wonโt be back in session until September.
The $1.15 Trillion dollar NDAA, which will tie our military intelligence to Israel.
A Trump requested $93 billion dollar bill that gives the pentagon $60 billion for the Iran War that has now killed 17 US service members and injured over 430 more. Another $12 billion will go to farmers who have been financially devastated because of Trumpโs war with Iran due to high costs of fertilizer and fuel.
And another CR, which is another extension of the budget bc Republicans canโt pass a budget even though they campaign constantly on balancing the budget and reducing the near $40 Trillion dollar debt.
Just to be clear, under full Republican control, their priorities are funding another foreign war, selling out our military intelligence to a foreign country that bankrolls most of our politicians campaigns, and overspending your tax dollars.
Nothing changed by electing Trump and Republicans.
Oh and the national price of gas is $4 dollars again and we only have less than 45 days left of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves. What was that thing we used to say again, drill baby drill?
So much winning with maga..
What a quaint story of the three most evil politicians in the US (though tough competition) told by the most untalented, most boring nepo baby ever. How relatable to hang out with senators and kick back and joke around while they destroy lives both internationally and domestically the US. Lindsey Graham was number one (again tough competition) genocide enthusiast and supporter. He was equivalent to a Nazi (Iโm not exaggerating). All three are dead now, but their damage lives on.
Israel's Lebanon campaign is becoming one of the greatest strategic blunders in its history. It is rebuilding Hezbollah's prestige, wrecking ties with Washington, and spending elite officers on a line with no purpose. Here is how:
1) Senior officers know the current fighting serves no useful aim. The IDF holds a line ten kilometers inside Lebanon that does not even control fire over northern Israeli towns. The army tells the cabinet "you decide, we execute," with no real debate on objectives.
2) The cost is rising fast. Lt. Col. Dor Ben-Simhon, commander of the 52nd Armored Battalion, and three of his tank crew were killed near the Ali Taher ridge. He was the fourth commander of that battalion since the war began. His three predecessors were all wounded.
3) It is rebuilding Hezbollah's prestige and influence. Iran understands the trap Israel set for itself and is spurring Hezbollah on. A group that was battered now gets to stand firm against the IDF, link Lebanon to the Gulf, and extract concessions from Washington through Israel. Israel is handing it a comeback story.
4) It is wrecking the US relationship. Trump keeps imposing ceasefires because he fears Israel will sabotage his Iran track. Vance was blunt: Israel should stay quiet and accept terms because its dependence on the US is nearly total. He hinted at consequences, possibly even arms limits.
5) The political story is collapsing. Netanyahu cannot sell success when the Iran campaign ended without its promised achievements and soldiers keep falling in Lebanon. The polls are starting to show it.
6) The leadership is unserious. One minister called for killing a thousand Lebanese per IDF casualty. Another mourned Ben-Simhon and got his first name wrong. Not one government representative came to the battalion commander's funeral. Bennett did.
7) It is weakening the Lebanese government. The Aoun-Salam government staked its credibility on disarming Hezbollah through the Lebanese army, a plan that was popular outside Hezbollah's base. Continued Israeli strikes hand Hezbollah its strongest argument: it will not give up its weapons while Israel keeps bombing. Every strike undercuts the one government actually trying to disarm it.
Bottom line: Israel set out to restore deterrence and secure the north. Instead it is restoring Hezbollah's standing, draining its friendship with Washington, and dying on a line with no purpose. Worst of all worlds. This could end with Hezbollah back in
The Zionists are massacring Lebanese families, while Trump confirms he'll keep Iran's frozen assets hostage. The Islamic Republic has proven that the Epstein Coalition is deceptive and untrustworthy. Their murderous and reckless policies will soon bring down the global economy.
Vance: It does bother me that you've seen people within Bibiโs cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal, and personally attacked the President. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.
2/3 of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in
Reporter: What's stopping Iran rebuilding and restarting from where we were pre the war their nuclear program?
Vance: Well, number one, they would have to get a lot of money in order to rebuild their nuclear program. You're talking about billions and billionsโฆ
Hard not to think of the Minab schoolgirls and everyone else who was killed pointlessly as we watch the farce of Trump signing a peace deal after a nonsense war that changed nothing.
