  1. Our fighting forces should eat MREs, not steak and lobster.

    Those delicacies should only be paid for by the government when the people eating them are sucking on the government teat:

    @DataRepublican

    🚨 SNAP Shock: Far many more millions in Food Aid Spent on 🦀 King Crab, 🦞 Lobster & 🥩 Steaks than the Department of War 🇺🇸

    From an official government research study of $6.58 billion dollars in SNAP expenditures, $1.9 million dollars were spent on king crab, $2.2 million dollars were spent on lobster and $28.4 million on select beef loins.

    Federal SNAP spending in 2024 was $99.8 billion. Scaled up, that means SNAP recipients spent $28.8 million dollars on king crab, $33.36 million dollars on lobster, and $430.75 million on steaks.

    DoW spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $15.1 million on ribeye steak.

    Ask any journalist pushing the “Hegseth is spending money on lobster” propaganda if they’re willing to cut out those categories for SNAP recipients. They will not be.

  3. Looks like we will be seeing if the Mine Countermeasures Packages on the LCS’s will be worth it. Noble idea, save money by combining the Avenger class minesweeper and Perry class frigates,into the same hull with swappable mission package modules. Turned out to not work out in many roles envisioned, and a few LCSs are already in the mothball fleet in Bremerton.

  4. Imagine that, a POS doctor who probably complained about taxes is upset that they didn’t sepend his tax money to fix his problem. Maybe take care of your own shit, literally.

    Or you can literally shit money into a bucket when you should be using that money to fix what happened.

    When fucking Neananderthals don’t recognize that they are a fucking Neanderthal.

    Go fuck yourself you POS.

  5. Vance 2056

    Lobster and Steak for all service pesonal, except for those that will be eating the chicken. Like old Puffy.

  8. Yesterday DJT47, using US-launched B-2 bombers, took out the military infrastructure on Iran’s Kharg Island, which apparently is involved in 9 of every 10 barrels of oil that Iran produces.

    Not hit was the island’s commercial oil infrastructure. Just the military installations.

    Which prompted a silly libbie to whine in the Friday thread that DJT47 was somehow expanding the war in doing so.

    No Iranian oil and what’s left of its economy collapses. And now 90% of Iran’s oil-producing infrastructure is fully exposed and fully unprotected should someone decide to launch another strike.

    Which brings us to Iran’s continued threats to the Strait of Hormuz…

  9. @1

    Citation needed.

    If one were to cooypasta any of those ‘statistical ’ paragraphs into the Google you’ll find it’s being regurgitated on the Twitter and not a one has the ‘report’ linked because…

    It doesn’t exist.

    Also not known, when you go to the store and look in the ‘WooHoo’bin or the ‘manager’s special’ can you sometimes find ‘select beef loin’ or seafood at 50% off? Let’s just say some item, without proof, WAS purchased. What was the price?

    Took you several days to find a bot farm response to go with to excuse Kegseth and the Fancy Pants

  10. Perhaps when Elijah takes a break from cheering the combat deaths and injuries to US troops he can turn his attention to Canada’s military.

    Canada tried to cover up an Arctic military exercise shitshow, which was conducted jointly with US troops. When the weather changed the US troops ceased training while PM Carney’s guys were told to send the wimpy Americans a message about toughness.

    There are reports of 60-70 soldiers hospitalized in Alaska, and fingers and toes will be lost.

    And Carney wonders why no one takes Canadian might seriously.

  11. @ 9

    Citation needed.

    I’ll be struck by lightning before any libbie ever asks Elijah for a citation.

    It is the most gullible of libbies who take other libbies at their word.

  12. There is very little distance between the positions of Hamas and your average US liberal:

    Hamas urges Iran not to strike neighboring countries, backs retaliation against Israel
    The ongoing US-Israeli campaign against Iran and Tehran’s retaliation has positioned Hamas in a tricky position, having close ties with both Tehran and with actors in the Gulf.

    In a statement, the terror group condemned what it called “American-Zionist aggression” against Iran and said Tehran has the right to respond “by all available means” in accordance with international law. But it also urged “the brothers in Iran” to refrain from striking nearby states, a notable appeal amid fears of broader regional escalation.

  13. In a statement, the Israel condemned what it called “the Terror Group” attacks against Zionist Settlers and said Tel Aviv has the right to respond “by all available means” in accordance with international law. But it also urged “the brothers in Gaza” to refrain from striking nearby states, a notable appeal amid fears of broader regional escalation.

    (Hoist as a source again, eh)

  14. The next edition of Trump: The Art of the Deal will be published by Havana Press.

    CUBA Havana is expected to allow Cubans in Miami, elsewhere to own businesses on the island

    The Cuban government is expected to announce as early as next week economic reforms to allow Cuban Americans living in South Florida and elsewhere in the U.S. and around the world to invest and own private businesses on the island, the Miami Herald has learned. The economic opening comes amid unprecedented pressure by the Trump administration…

  16. An F-150 comes standard with a 36gal tank. (30.5 if the PowerBoost Hybrid).

    BillyRayJoJim who couldn’t be bothered to wear a mask to keep from exhaling a virus so his neighbors didn’t die is telling the septum pierced blue haired libs the temporary pain of an extra $23 every fill up is just the patriotic thing they need to do. (AAA + $.64 in a month and still climbing)

  17. Perhaps when Elijah takes a break from cheering the combat deaths and injuries to US troops…

    In no way shape or form is that an accurate assessment. Your a liar and bullshitter. That’s all you got. Your a fuckwad.

  18. Travis Turner rural Virginia football coach who disappeared as police prepared to arrest him on child pornography and soliciting a minor is still missing from his deep red rural West Virginia home town.

    But we recently learned that for three months the local school district kept depositing his pay. Now before you say ‘Unions’ he would have had to submit an appeal to be paid for days he failed to show up and did not. So the district was facilitating his flight from justice financially.

    But we’ve also learned the school administration went after the student he solicited so they could have their championship eligible team’s coach stay in place. AND that the school did not (mandatory report) pass the case to law enforcement first at least two months until the victim’s parents contacted state police with copies of emails and then, “Oh THAT coach, yes here are even more emails to the minor he wanted to fuck BUT HE WAS BEING CATFISHED!”

    AND this is the fourth case of teachers/coaches/administrators being accused of grooming in the last five years AT THE VERY SAME SCHOOL.

    We really need to shut down the schools in Wise County (81% Trump, 18% Harris) until they can find all the NOT trans teachers found all this child endangerment.

  20. @1 “Scaled up” is all you need to know about those “statistics.” IOW those numbers are not real. What’s a given is that Republicans are liars, and our troll is one of ’em. Comment #2 above nails it, except I would exclude the “please.” There’s no reason to be polite to him.

  21. @7 Probably pulled the olive branches to spite the Nobel committee. Last I heard, he likes tyranny and doesn’t like liberty, so the coin design still needs some work to get it where he really wants it. Also, nature hates empty claws, so how about putting an AR-15 in that empty claw? Now that’s American!

  22. @8 You’re probably tactically smarter than anyone left in the Pentagon, which isn’t saying anything. This war is being run by interns and cadets.

  23. @10 Once again the troll’s reading deficiencies are on glorious display. According to the article he linked to, the “reports of 60-70 soldiers hospitalized in Alaska” are figures “circulating on social media” whereas the article says 30 left the exercise because of injuries and “a small number” were hospitalized. The article did not say anyone will lose fingers or toes; he made that up. Misreading is the troll’s habit, and exaggerating is his forte.

  24. The Netanyahu-Trumped-Up War has no reason to occur. The Zionists and others are using this war to make people forget about Epstein and his criminal activity.

  25. @18👍

    Great post.

    Now Bob isn’t going to care unless the guy is gay. But until then he, and the rest of the Heterosexual supremes, are ok with a little diddling of the babies.

    I have to assume that the guy is straight, otherwise we’d be discussing a hanging

  27. @24

    Maybe if people weren’t so uneducated, like the trolls, then we wouldn’t be in this mess.

    Grab it by the Pussy!

  31. According to Republicans, there are close to 2,000 Iranian terrorist sleeper cells hidden in the United States waiting to receive orders.

    Meanwhile ICE Fat Asses are lounging around your lical high school molesting 15-year-old girls and shooting nurses.

  32. There is very little distance between the positions of Hamas and your average US liberal:

    There is very little distance between the positions of Hamas and your average fascist conservative American Taliban.

  33. The TACO begins.

    Donald J. Trump
    @realDonald Trump

    The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way, but the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help — A LOT! The U.S. will also coordinate with those Countries so that everything goes quickly, smoothly, and well. This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be — It will bring the World together toward Harmony, Security, and Everlasting Peace! President DONALD J. TRUMP

  38. @24 They’re also using it as a smokescreen to ramp up land grabs and terrorist attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank.

  39. @27 That’s pretty hopeless, given that half the population are born with below average intelligence. We’ll always need a Republican Party to house them in, because the Democrats sure don’t want them.

  40. @ 39

    Yet again a certain failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool demonstrates his ignorance of the difference between mean and median.

  41. The war “drags on” into its third week.

    Andrew Clark
    @AndrewHClark

    In 72 hours we went from:

    Trump never expected the possibility of Hormuz closing,

    To:

    Trump was briefed Hormuz could close but riskily did it anyway,

    To:

    Trump bombed Kharg Island but it likely won’t force Iran to open the Strait

    To:

    Iran opened the Strait

  42. Sharing because I found it interesting. We’ve been told about the Boca Raton mayoral election result. What we were not told was the vote breakdown, including differences between machine recount and manual recount, and the number of undervotes and overvotes.

    We’re guaranteed free and fair elections. We are not guaranteed perfect elections.

    Hell, if I had won Tennessee none of it would have mattered.

  43. @ 42

    Boca Raton is a piddlingly small entity. Out of Florida cities it doesn’t even crack the Top 20.

    It’s so small it’s roughly the size of the city Mayor Pete ran. Which somehow made Mayor Pete worthy of running the United States in the eyes of more than a few fawning homosexuals.

  44. You will disseminate OUR information and PRAISE TO THE LEADER always.

    Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

    Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.

    The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.

    And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.
    The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves.

    It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.

  45. Kreepfuck, it truly is an honor.

    Look who’s on top living rent-free in that black hole between its ears.. Beating out therabbit no less.

    However notice there’s that little mystery. Why did it stop 10/5/2025?

  46. 37,

    The lying troll lives in his own made up world of market timing “scores”, Canadian Supermodel girlfriends, “heroic” fat racists sport murdering “the blacks”, and President Grandpa “wisely” leading him from imaginary triumph to triumph.

    He’s never in his life been exposed to the kind of professional discipline and rigor that might have prevented his failure here. But as they say, the presumption of good faith yields to contrary evidence. He’s just lied way too many times. Badly. Obviously.
    Embarrassingly.

    And it’s not as if there’s some kind of natural law that says that anything you can formulate into a pithy or mocking commentary, even with occasional flashes of droll wit, is automatically credible if accompanied by an X link. It’s a platform that monetizes baby rape porn.

    Everything in the end is relative. Nothing proves that like the Internet. No claim is ever better than its source. And among a great many sins of lying, the troll has specialized in dredging up only the most fetid, deplorable, and pathological of sources. Often (and obviously) only for the sake of the lie itself. He has no filter and no critical judgement when it comes to tearing down the opponents of the GOP.

    So it’s not as if a citation would even help at this point.

    If it’s a lying troll post, it can be assumed to lack actual, verifiable sourcing. There were no Christmas tree cock rings. There was no “whitey” tape or MLK tape. Clinton never had an aneurysm. Hawaii really is in the United States. And there are no FB friends in CO. No point in looking for them. They do not exist.

  47. @40 Wherein the bloviating dumbfuck troll fails to understand that the mean IQ is also the average IQ, ergo half the population are above and half are below average.

    Understanding Average IQ

    The average IQ score is defined as 100. This score serves as both the mean and median in the distribution of IQ scores.

    IQ Score Distribution

    IQ scores are typically distributed in a bell curve, where:

    68% of the population scores between 85 and 115 (one standard deviation from the mean).

    50% of individuals score below 100, and 50% score above 100.

    Historical Context

    The choice of 100 as the average IQ is somewhat arbitrary. It was established to provide a convenient reference point. The original formula for calculating IQ, developed by Wilhelm Stern, used mental age divided by chronological age, multiplied by 100. This method has evolved into the current “deviation IQ” system, which still uses 100 as the average.
    Implications of an Average IQ

    An IQ of 100 indicates average cognitive ability compared to peers. Scores above 100 suggest above-average intelligence, while scores below indicate below-average intelligence.

    In summary, 100 is both the average and mean IQ score, representing a central point in the distribution of intelligence test results.

    It’s obvious which side of the “mean” you fall on, idiot.

  48. @41 Iran opened the Strait

    You left out this detail:

    Any country except for US and Israel can pass through Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Foreign Minister says

    That doesn’t sound much like Iran rolling over to Trump.

  49. @43 Which is irrelevant to the point of #42, which demonstrates your ignorance of how elections are conducted.

  50. @44 So much for Republicans being the party of freedom. Not that they ever were, that’s just a talking point for the gullible …

  51. @46 No claim is ever better than its source. And among a great many sins of lying, the troll has specialized in dredging up only the most fetid, deplorable, and pathological of sources.

    You omitted “laughable,” I assume accidentally.

  52. Good read

    https://wlockett.medium.com/you-have-no-idea-how-far-behind-tesla-is-6d1b9d507f54

    Tesla had the biggest head start in the EV market. The Model S launched in 2012, and it took six years for legacy automakers to offer anything that could even try to compete with it. Even then, Tesla’s charging network was light-years ahead of what anyone else was offering. Likewise, when the Model 3 launched in 2017, it had no genuine competition for over three years. At the turn of the decade, it looked like Tesla would extend this lead with new models and the ‘revolutionary’ 4680 battery. But that simply hasn’t happened, and now Tesla’s sales are crashing as every single one of their competitors now offers comparable or slightly better EV options. But the leapfrog moment has just happened. BYD have just annouced their 1,500 kW-capable Blade Battery 2.0 and the stupidly affordable EV it is going into. Now it is Tesla who is playing catch-up. So, what about this puts Tesla on the back foot? And why did Musk fumble the bag?

  54. @52 And why did Musk fumble the bag?

    Because he isn’t as smart as he wants us to believe he is. His DOGE misadventure proved that.

  56. Trying hard, Administration spokesman edition:

    NBC News: Should Americans be bracing for the price of oil to go over $200 a barrel?

    CHRIS WRIGHT: So Iran calls us the ‘great Satan.’ I don’t think we are the great Satan. In fact, clearly, we’re not.

  57. So it was about grabbing the oil?

    Rep. Mike Flood, Pedophile Enthusiast, Nebraska

    Listen, we are in a conflict with Iran right now. There’s going to be temporary pain. And it is painful. I don’t want to discount that at all. But this will end and we will have energy independence.”

  59. Every single midterm Dem campaign should go to school on how Steve Toth defeated Dan Crenshaw.

  61. @52,

    Irrelevant.

    We’re a robot taxi company now.

    We’re a battery storage company now.

    We’re an autonomous android company now.

    We’re a software company now.

    We’re an AI company now.

  65. 63,
    In a cabinet where confirmed secretaries and the Vice President walk around in cheap oversized shoes on bleeding feet because they are too afraid not to wear them, how would that work?

  66. @57 How does the Iran war contribute to U.S. energy independence?
    If you want domestic energy independence, then build refineries that can process shale oil, instead of exporting that oil and importing the heavier oils that Gulf refineries process.

  69. It’s going so well. So majestic. So in control. So wise.

    @realDonald Trump

    Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    Crystal clear. We have 100% destruction.

    Iran can still attack.

    Nations will send ships.

    Hopefully they’ll send ships.

    They are destroyed

    We are still destroying

  72. @69

  74. The imprisoned Russian spy, who fed proven lies about Joe Biden to gullible Republicans and the Fat Hitler movement, and was subsequently tried and convicted of felonies for those lies, is now being assisted in applying for early from prison release by…

    …gullible Republicans and Far Hitler.

  75. The United States should withdraw, apologize, and pay compensation to Iran.

    The outcome of that approach would produce greater regional security, restore economic order, save many more lives, and cost far less than any foreseeable outcome of the current Israel-led effort to annihilate the Islamic Republic of Iran by violent force of arms.

  76. 67,

    The fairly obvious fact that the USN does not currently possess its own independent mine clearing capability is a pretty shocking scandal that will go almost entirely unnoticed by Americans in this MAGA shit show.

    But you can bet your ass China has noticed.
