Wouldn't it be nice for a change to let America win a war?  Rather than armchair quarterback its defeat.


Talk to the Dems about the supplemental and t o the media which seems pro-Iranian.

Not surprising considering that they've allowed their country to be overtaken by migrants/refugee terrorist who want nothing more than to take over Europe in its entirety. 

I wonder if the Royal Air Force is in similar shape.

Vahidi and Ghalibaf are behind 90% of decision making in the regime right now.

Every decision re: Hormuz traces to these two.

Both of them, along with their deputies and possible successors should be taken out LONG before even considering a strike on energy infrastructure.

US issues global alert urging caution as Iran linked groups may target Americans

The U.S. State Department on Sunday warned Americans worldwide to exercise increased caution, citing rising security risks and the potential for attacks targeting U.S. interests amid escalating tensions tied to Iran.

The alert, which applies globally but emphasizes risks in the Middle East, notes that U.S. diplomatic facilities have already been targeted and warns that groups supportive of Iran may carry out attacks against American-linked locations abroad.

“Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate,” the State Department said. “Periodic airspace closures may cause travel disruptions.”

“U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted,” the alert continued. “Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world.”

...and those are just the surrounding countries.  Iran has just been waiting for the opportune time to strike. 

IMHO to think that they aren't going to strike from within the U.S. and destabilize our country is foolish.  They're ready.

Yes.  As I've mentioned a couple of times, things have been way too quiet.  The battle is just beginning and unfortunately all the luxuries that we enjoy, could be wiped out for years.  Not days or months but years.

You can only buy and store so much gas and propane for generators, and if you have solar without adequate battery back ups, that energy won't last for long or run much.

Right now, I so wished we lived in a home with a basement; cooler and more livable.

Iran chokes Strait of Hormuz with reported $2M tanker toll, regime threatens global oil supply
Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi claims the levy reflects a new 'sovereign regime' in the strait, per reports.
By Emma Bussey Fox News
Published March 22, 2026 4:55pm EDT

The Iranian regime is charging some tankers $2 million to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in a bid to further its control over the global shipping choke point, according to reports.

Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi told state broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on Sunday that the massive toll marks the start of a new approach to controlling the waterway, Iran International reported.

"Collecting $2 million as transit fees from some vessels crossing the strait reflects Iran’s strength," Boroujerdi said during a television program cited by Iranian media.

The member of parliament’s national security committee also said the measure has already been implemented and reflects what he called a new "sovereign regime" in the strait after decades, the outlet said.

"Now, because war has costs, naturally we must do this and take transit fees from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz," he said.

Boroujerdi’s comments came after President Donald Trump warned Saturday that the United States could target Iran’s power infrastructure if the strait is not reopened within 48 hours.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I don’t owe tolerance to people who disagree with my existence.
I will NOT comply.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18

Oh no!  Not the Internet!  What has Trump gotten us into?

Oh My.  Iran has Trump now.  No Truth Social.  No CNN.

Paging Elon Musk to the White courtesy phone....

I LOL'd.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.
Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!
Listen, Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.

Not so much just internet for forums and Facebook, X, etc., but interruptions to banking (lost accounts and people not able to access their money), and communication ... This is no laughing matter.  This is pretty darn serious.
