Battle of Leyte Gulf: Logistics and What Ifs? | Anniversary of Largest Naval Battle in History
⚓️The Toll of Continuous Combat: Why 11 months of near-nonstop operations since late 1943 had ground down the ships, crews, and air wings of Task Force 38—forcing key units to detach for maintenance and overhaul right before the battle.
⚓️The Sibuyan Sea & The Loss of USS Princeton: The initial strikes on Kurita’s Center Force, the sinking of the super-battleship Musashi, and how the carrier Princeton was lost to land-based air attacks.
⚓️Halsey’s Move North & Task Force 34: The rationale behind Halsey pursuing Ozawa’s carrier decoy force, the critical role of anti-aircraft screens and VT fuses, and the decision not to leave a surface line guarding the San Bernardino Strait.
⚓️Tactical Positioning at Samar: An analysis of Taffy 3’s heroic stand, questioning the positioning of Rear Admiral Clifton Sprague’s escort carriers close to the coast versus operating farther offshore.
⚓️The Surigao Strait Victory & A Missed "Second Surigao": Rear Admiral Oldendorf’s devastating crossing of the T against the Japanese Southern Force—and what might have happened had his battle line intercepted Kurita at the Leyte Gulf entrance in broad daylight.

It’s so anachronistic to hear a random woman—let alone a French one—speak like this.
I can’t remember the last time I heard a white woman of any national origin speak this defiantly and bravely.
Major blancpill.
@jsolomonReports Almost 100 years, and British Columbia just flipped. Voters everywhere are tired of being lectured by a ruling class that ignores them.
Listen to every word
“I voted. I was standing in that voting booth thinking about high gas prices, expensive groceries, housing costs and the financial pressure on working families. Then my mind went to France, to Dearborn, Michigan and I realized this election is about far more than gas and groceries.
It's about our future, radical Islam, national security, illegal immigration, our borders, education, parental rights, sex and gender policies, and the values our children inherit.
I couldn't see myself voting for a party that hates America, apologizes for our country, is ashamed of our flag, and wants to rewrite our history and abandon our values.
So I voted red, not because Republicans get everything right, always do right by everyday Americans, or are free from corruption, but because I believe we can only fix this country if we still have a country left to fix”
I could not have said it better myself. Voting Blue is literally voting to end America and for the eventual Islamic takeover of America. Voting Democrat means being wiped out by illegals, having our elections permanently rigged, our culture replaced and never having a way out
Everyone needs to vote Red like your life depends on it because it does

@listen_2learn@ItsYourGov@JeffClarkUS The International Spy Museum advisory board lists Cash as "owner and founder of Deck Prism, LLC," registered 2008, Cabin John, Maryland.
That company has $15+M in DOE contracts. The address on USA Spending matches a residence owned by Cash himself. Let's look.
🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" 🚨🚨
His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis.
The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" — a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat".
When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared."
Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" — the Otpor documentary about toppling Milošević — as "a how-to."
Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration — our nuclear weapons program — justified because "disclosure would compromise national security."
His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active.
I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
So…
900/1020 non emergency transportation companies registered in Minnesota are registered to Somalians.
They bill Medicaid $135 million per year.
Totally legit.
Definitely not another scheme on the American taxpayers.
Xavier Becerra spent $30 million of taxpayer money to distribute drug needles to the homeless.
Don’t let the architect of “harm reduction” do even MORE harm to our cities. WAKE UP CALIFORNIA!

He just picked up everything he wanted and strolled out of the store like it was owned by his uncle.
