open and shut at a baboon's will...

Trump: "They came to us and they said, 'We will agree to open the strait.' And all my people were happy, except me. I said, 'Wait a minute, if we open the strait, that means they're gonna make $500 million a day.' I don't want them to make $500 million a day until they settle this thing. So I'm the one who kept it closed."

AND REMEMBER TWO WEEKS AGO:

Donald Trump has issued an ominous but misspelled threat to Iran over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

'Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign (sic) down on them. Glory be to GOD!', the President wrote on his Truth Social website Saturday morning.

His post, which likely meant to use the homophone 'rain' in this context, came as tensions mount over the shipping channel, which is vital to the global oil trade.

struggling....

Donald Trump visibly struggles to come up with excuses and claims of having complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, which leaves the military in a tough place of their own report that there are dangerous mines still being placed that need months of removal and over Iran seizing ships. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report. Leave a comment with your thoughts below!

Mainstream media ignoring Pentagon leak footage – journalist (VIDEO)

US networks did not cover a video in which a nuclear safety officer spoke about Ukraine corruption and strikes on children in Iran, Michael Casey has told RT

Major US networks have turned a blind eye to an explosive undercover video in which a senior Pentagon official spoke about Ukraine’s rampant corruption and civilian casualties resulting from the war on Iran, O’Keefe Media Group journalist Michael Casey has told RT.

Speaking to RT on Friday, Casey weighed in on footage that O’Keefe Media Group released earlier this week, apparently showing Andrew Hugg, a Pentagon nuclear safety officer, revealing secrets to a woman he met on a dating app.

The official was recorded confirming that US airstrikes did cause collateral child casualties in Iran, discussing nerve agents stored in Maryland, and alleging that Ukrainian officials had pocketed US taxpayer funds going back to the Obama administration.

Following the release of the video, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that Hugg “won’t work here anymore,” calling the leaks “incredibly irresponsible and unpatriotic.” Despite the story rising to the level of the US defense chief, it has been largely absent from the US mainstream media.

Casey underscored the fact, saying that he was “surprised”by the lack of reporting on the subject. “Why have CNN, NBC, ABC not covered the story? I think they’re afraid of James O’Keefe, if you want the truth. They’re scared of being his next target.”

Casey also noted that it was “baffling” that a senior Pentagon official had spilled the beans on “very sensitive things regarding American foreign policy” to a complete stranger. “That opens the question: who else is he talking to? And it’s a very big national security issue,” he said, pointing to Hugg’s scramble to erase his digital footprint as a de facto admission of wrongdoing.

The journalist also singled out Hugg’s claims about the Ukraine corruption, saying that while they were “the most interesting parts of the exposé,” they were also “one of the least surprising.”

“It sounds like millions of taxpayer dollars dating back to the Obama administration were misused and taken into by Ukrainian oligarchs… Many people, specifically on the right, have for years been blowing the whistle, saying that money is being misused in Ukraine. Far too often, it has been dismissed as conspiracies,” he said.

O’Keefe Media Group was founded by controversial journalist James O’Keefe, whose modus operandi is to send undercover reporters on dates with their targets in order to record candid conversations. His former organization, Project Veritas, however, was repeatedly accused by critics of selectively editing footage to further a conservative agenda.
