In honor of the bday of the man I try to let live thru the guitar (his 'beater) I now own. Cloud On Thom. We continue to miss out on so much since your passing. Take the time to breathe, this thread's for those needing soothing. <3 🧵https://t.co/yB3iG2aNyp
🇺🇸BREAKING: Someone placed a $920 million crude oil short at 3:40 AM.
70 minutes later Axios reported the US and Iran were close to a deal.
Oil dropped 12%.
The trade made $125 million in profit.
Minutes after that Iran launched the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” and oil surged 8%.
$760 million placed before Trump’s last announcement.
$920 million placed before this one.
Every major announcement in this war has been front-run by someone who knew it was coming.
What kind of war is this?
This is more like a trading desk with an army.
Never stop connecting the dots.
My take on Vivek Ramaswamy "winning" here in Ohio.
I live here and Ohioans have learned nothing.
When someone endorses someone else, it means nothing. You're suppose to think for yourself, do your own research and make an informed vote. That is not what Ohioans did. They simply voted for whomever Donald Trump and JD Vance endorsed. That is not being an informed voter.
Vivek should be in jail for what he has done. Scamming people out of millions, profiting from the COVID lie, and participating in the destruction of Ohio businesses back in 2020 and beyond. Ohioans have amnesia apparently, and they can't read. One simple search into Vivek's past and it's all fraud. Not to mention his ties to Wexner, Soros, Gates and others should be alarming, but apparently not for Ohioans.
When any candidate, like Vivek, pretends that they aren't running against someone else, that means they're spitting in your face through their mouth of entitlement. He believes that he deserves to be Governor of Ohio, but yet, he's done nothing for Ohio nor Ohioans. If you think that will change, it won't.
When a candidate never bring up fraud, yet fraud is the only thing people should be caring about right now, that means that candidate is a fraudster. When another candidate brings up fraud and wants to hold those fraudsters accountable, then you vote for the candidate that brings up fraud and wants to hold the fraudsters accountable. It's not that hard to figure out.
Vivek received 673,902 votes (82.5%). Casey Putsch received 143,257 votes (17.5%). Only one candidate was taking about fraud and going after Ohio politicians who are fraudsters. That person was Casey Putsch. That means that 17.5% of Ohioans want accountability and the other 82.5% are fine with fraud and a fraudster leading the way.
That is not a recipe for success. That is a recipe for more fraud and a failed state.
Now, Ohio can expect the following: More foreigners, less jobs for Ohioans, a worse education system that benefits foreigners and Indians, higher taxes, more data centers, more pollution, higher cost of living, and zero accountability.
All Ohio did is vote for a brown Mike DeWine.
I wont's stop exposing this fraud until I'm dead.
When Vivek gets into office (without my vote), I will continue to expose his fraud until the 82.5% of the Ohio braindead meatballs wake the fuck up.
Back to work.
@aarbaer to get far worse for OH citzns. Anyone awake knows this. Bailouts aren't going to garner the GOP votes you will need come Nov. People are losing everything. A 23.8% voter turnout, cpld w/ V's votes being only the most diehard GOP voters? That should wake you up, no massive win.
@aarbaer Maybe the federalization of the state will be complete before then & the ppl will be hamstrung & not accounted for in any further 'election'. Maybe not. But do know this, not everyone is sleeping at the wheel now. The appalling turnout should scare you-because things are going
@CaseyPutsch They're all projecting idjits. Our state is infested with them. Every time they point to something it's only because it is something they themselves are guilty of. It's such a shame that the majority of Ohio citizens are so detached & apathetic about it all.
@CaseyPutsch If we end up with him as governor, honestly I believe we will become one of the first fully federalized 'states' in their new USA-our government is totally broken & the turnout here in Ohio was appalling. You got 530 of us here in WyCo tho. I'm not a rightie either lol.
I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna be nicer about this. Neocon boomers are mortgaging my generations future by amassing trillions in debt, turning America into a pariah on the global stage, and getting our troops killed for another failing war.
I have to watch these neocons lie about the state of this war on TV every single day. Then, the moment I push back and assertively ask, “hey, what’s the actual goal here?” I have a legion of neocon boomers telling me I should know my place. Or I should wait my turn to talk with the grown ups.
Fuck that, genuinely.
I’m not claiming to have all of the answers or be all knowing. But young people deserve a seat at the table to fight for our interests as well. 95% of media is made up of boomers in suits who created these problems, and being nicer isn’t going to fix them.
@epaleezeldin@rosadelauro I adore your demeanor, your 'education' your journey into the abyss of being quite possibly the most cringey person in this administration. It's quite the show. I do wonder tho, how you will sleep when you realize you used your showmanship to ruin your own country for posterity.
@RayBert5eb@JerradChristian@JDVance Example of smear campaign & slander: 'I think <joe doe> is a paid shill working for JD & have zero clue about what an Appalachian man would or wouldn't do'; now, I have no clue if that is true or not-that would be slander & I'm not saying that about you. Just an example.
@RayBert5eb@JerradChristian@JDVance So, um, saying that billionaires donate to someone is slander? Not if it's true. I believe you need to look up slander. Truth is not slander & I also think you don't understand what a 'smear campaign' is. PT put $15 mil into a JD superPAC for Senator alone. Capice?
@KimGeorgeton@CaseyPutsch It's about being fiscally interested in the people of our state & the future for them. Not the emo hot button issues that win out every time to do NOTHING for the people. Fiscal responsibility for ALL citizens. Not the massive borrowing fr the ppl to pay cronies. We need bridges.
@MeghanMcCain Pray for yourself & your neighbor, & don't shout it from the rooftops like the Hypocrites. Oh, wait, that's your bag isn't it. Seriously, you need a LONG sabbatical to or at least travel to open your eyes to reality. You are oblivious to the evil cuz in innit
@MeghanMcCain Get over yourself girl. You are not that special nor is that 'ballroom' anything that OUR tax dollars are going to. You thrive on the chaos & disorder, don't you? Covers up that money trail quite well. Tired of your empress tears tho. Just zip
@TheMuppetPastor If ya keep finding yourself on the side of just wishing destruction for your neighbor because they 'aint like me' you may be just what this admin needs for a proper citizen. Go get em tiger! Show em you have the blind ambition.
I'm from Appalachia. @JDVance pretends to be from Appalachia, but Dayton and Cincinnati don't make the cut. More importantly, real Appalachians don't have private equity and billionaires like Peter Thiel giving us handouts to become a senator or VP. We depend on GOOD government.
🧵OHIOANS:
🚨I compared Ohio military infrastructure (esp. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) with data center locations… they largely overlap, with Piketon as the main outlier.
➤ That’s not random… dual-use defense tech (AI, surveillance) requires massive compute, so data centers are the backbone.
🚨➤ HB 292 + HB 188 push that build-out, but include no real data protections… raising more concerns about 4th Amendment and consent.
➤ At what point does a state transition from “economic development policy” into underwriting national security infrastructure without explicit public consent to that role?
🚨Ohio constituents are civilian taxpayers… not enlisted defense stakeholders… so the consent and accountability structure matters.
➝ This isn’t incidental infrastructure… it’s foundational.

From what we've seen so far from news feeds, the damage near Vance AFB, toward the Enid Woodring Airport is very severe, with a mass casualty incident declared. It won't be until tomorrow morning until the full scope of the damage is revealed.
Please keep those impacted in your thoughts and prayers.
