Hey, @grok how many safe zones did Hamas declare for the Palestinians throughout the war with Israel?

Please tell how many they declared, or agreed with Israel on, as a place for the people of Gaza to go to get out of harms way.

After you establish the number, explain why.

[Lemmus @wdhindman]

@rushdman1 @JustJenRX @GOP Grok has this nailed down as, of course, totally unsubstantiated. You are just a desperate loser. Get lost. I'm done screwing around with you. Blocked.

[Lemmus @wdhindman]

@rushdman1 @JustJenRX @GOP @grok Is there any credibility to this post?

[Lemmus @wdhindman]

@rushdman1 @JustJenRX @GOP "Trump was bought off."

Do you have any idea how truly stupid that sounds? Trump is a multibillionaire. No one "buys" him off except in comic books and fantasies.

They bought off MTG, Candace, Carlson ...absolutely, but Trump?

🚨 I THINK PEOPLE ARE MISSING THE MUCH BIGGER STORY BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP AND CANADA.

Forget individual refinery headlines for a moment.

Step back.

Canada has enjoyed an extraordinary position in the American energy market.

In 2025, Canada supplied 63.4% of ALL U.S. crude oil imports - roughly 3.9 MILLION barrels every single day.

And roughly 90% of Canada's crude exports went to America.

Think about what that means.

America depends heavily on Canadian oil.

But Canada depends even MORE heavily on having America as its customer.

That relationship has given Canada an incredibly valuable, secure market directly across its border.

Now look at what is changing.

🇻🇪 VENEZUELA IS COMING BACK INTO THE AMERICAN ENERGY SYSTEM.

U.S. imports of Venezuelan crude went from roughly:

January: 200,000 barrels/day

June: 630,000 barrels/day

And preliminary September data have reached as high as 782,000 barrels/day.

That's an enormous increase in months.

And here's the part people need to understand:

Venezuela doesn't just have a lot of oil.

It has enormous quantities of HEAVY crude.

Guess what Canada sells America?

A LOT OF HEAVY CRUDE.

Guess what many sophisticated American refineries were specifically designed to process?

HEAVY CRUDE.

So Venezuela doesn't simply give America "more oil."

It potentially gives American refiners something far more strategically important:

ANOTHER SUPPLIER.

That's competition.

And competition changes leverage.

Now zoom out even further.

America has enormous shale production.

Canada has enormous oil-sands production.

Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves.

Guyana is rapidly becoming another major producer.

Brazil continues expanding offshore production.

Mexico remains deeply connected to the American energy system.

And sitting in the middle of all of it is the United States with one of the world's most sophisticated refining, pipeline, storage, financial and export systems.

THAT is the bigger picture I believe is emerging.

President Trump isn't simply trying to get "cheap oil."

He appears to be helping build something far more strategically powerful:

🇺🇸 A WESTERN HEMISPHERE ENERGY SYSTEM WITH AMERICA AT ITS CENTER.

Not dependent on ONE country.

Not dependent on ONE oil field.

Not dependent on ONE shipping lane.

And increasingly less exposed to ONE geopolitical chokepoint halfway around the world.

That's why I believe people are looking at the Canada fight too narrowly.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is simultaneously trying to reduce Canada's dependence on America and deepen Canada's relationship with Europe.

That's happening RIGHT NOW.

Carney has openly called for deeper Canada-EU cooperation in energy, critical minerals, defense, AI and other strategic industries.

Meanwhile President Trump is applying enormous trade pressure on Canada.

So look at this as a chessboard rather than another daily political headline.

Canada wants alternatives to America.

America is developing alternatives to Canada.

Canada is expanding its ability to ship oil toward Asia through Trans Mountain.

America is reopening access to Venezuelan heavy crude.

Chevron is expanding in Venezuela.

Exxon is reportedly negotiating its own return.

American companies are moving back into one of the greatest concentrations of oil reserves on Earth.

THAT changes the negotiating environment.

And here's the important distinction:

I don't think America needs to "replace" Canadian oil.

That would actually miss the point.

Canada is an enormously valuable, reliable and geographically convenient energy partner.

What America needs is OPTIONS.

Canada.

Venezuela.

Guyana.

Brazil.

Mexico.

Domestic American production.

Multiple producers competing for access to the world's biggest economy and its massive refining system.

Because when your country has multiple suppliers, no single supplier owns the leverage.

And when producers compete for American refinery demand, America gains negotiating power.

Meanwhile the Middle East becomes less capable of holding the American economy hostage to events thousands of miles away.

THAT may ultimately be what President Trump is creating.

Not American dependence on Venezuelan oil.

Not American dependence on Canadian oil.

Not American dependence on Middle Eastern oil.

AMERICAN ENERGY OPTIONALITY.

A Western Hemisphere energy powerhouse with the United States sitting at the center of production, refining, capital, infrastructure and consumption.

Canada can sell to Asia.

Venezuela can sell elsewhere.

Brazil can sell elsewhere.

That's free markets.

But they all have to compete.

And competition destroys monopolistic leverage.

That is the story underneath the headlines that I think deserves FAR more attention.

The fight with Canada may ultimately be about much more than tariffs.

It may be part of a fundamental restructuring of who has leverage over the American economy for the next generation. 🇺🇸

I want to shake the hand of the guy who wrote this...
Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?
Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?
Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?
Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?
Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?
Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?
The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY ???
Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history."
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug-nosed slaves." Says a lot about what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it, Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?
Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Women's Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so that they are often beaten for not wearing the 'hijab' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops, and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, or a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims whose asses you bent over backward to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ...
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama, is the "Muslim heritage" in America
EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS !!
Be sure to SEND IT TO ALL.
Muslim Heritage, my ass.
Copy and post. That's what I did to inform people about these things.

[Vince Langman @LangmanVince]

This guy does a great job explaining the absurdity of Canada trying to become partners with the failing EU!

[Lemmus @wdhindman]

😅😂🤣No one gives a shit what you say. Get it!

Real Americans do give a shit when idiots like you even bother to breathe. It wastes good air, eh.

Yeah, let's give the same religious jihadi fanatics who flew planes into the twin towers, who wrap their children in bomb vests and send them into public restaurants, who kidnap babies and then strangle them, who mass rape defenseless women and children and then mutilate their sexual organs because, of course, they were Jews. Seems totally rational to me ...said no one ...ever! Except morons.

Yeah, lets give them nukes and 6000 mile range IBMs because we know that deranged fanatics won't use them on our cities because the MAD policy works so well for them.

I voted for Trump because he swore he would never allow Iran to get nukes and IBMs. Exactly what he is doing. He's using US air power, US naval power, and US fiscal power to avoid a ground war ever becoming necessary. He's using every avenue to negotiate with the religious zealots and nutcases so that he can keep our military as safe as possible while getting the job done ...but he is going to get it done.

And all that blowhard morons like you can do is whine.

[Lemmus @wdhindman]

@Faisalations @RickyTheGuido @grok 😆😅😂🤣The jihadi bot told me to STFU and then blocked me. Can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

[Lemmus @wdhindman]

@Faisalations @RickyTheGuido @grok Absolute malarkey. The archeological and textual records of Arabs in the levant are centuries later than the earliest archaeological and textual evidence for Israelites in Canaan.

[Lemmus @wdhindman]

Dem bot. Trump repeatedly said in three campaigns that he would never let Iran have nuclear weapons. Which is exactly what he is doing. Iran is not a "new" war, it's Trump refusing to kick the can down the war until it's too damn late and idiots like this blame him for US cities being nuked by religious fanatics. Fanatic jihadis who fervently believe that the 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi will then return to establish justice and peace before the Day of Judgment alongside, wait for this, Jesus. Yes, Jesus. You do not let insane asylum inmates have a nuke, not even if gas costs too much.

You go vote for Trump because your life and your country may well depend on it.
