This is your reminder that on September 11, while thousands of his fellow Americans were dying, the current US president called the media to brag that his tower was now the tallest in lower Manhattan.

If the Houthis are able to hold Mokha and significantly impede Bab al-Mandab, this gets really, really bad.

This year alone, Hegseth has fired the Army Chief of Staff & several generals, fired Sec Navy & now Army Secretary, Dan Driscoll has resigned...six months into a war with Iran that has no end in sight.
That's not a Pentagon. It's a revolving door with a flag on it.

Last year, six huge companies got $83 BILLION in federal tax breaks.
Meanwhile, Americans struggled to afford groceries and doctor's visits.
Let that sink in.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families.
Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out.
