Trumpturd’s “Spiritual Advisor” and personal pastor, evangelist Paula White … who prayed with him yesterday in the white house says:
Paula White, the Horse’s Mouth:
“Where ever I go God rules, when I walk on White house grounds, God walks on White house grounds.
I have every right and authority to declare the White house Holy Grounds because I was standing there and where I stand is Holy.
Saying No to President Trump is like saying No to God….”
Seems reasonable
When you sacrifice and eat babies that is.

Epstein Guard To Testify As Oversight Committee Explores Potential Murder
March 13, 2026 at 1:19 pm #234534Dr. D
ParticipantTracking just normal people, Asmongold can apply basic logic:
“If carriers are sitting ducks then why doesn’t anybody hit one?”I mean, I’m #1 in saying carriers are obsolete and “sitting ducks” but I mean compared to 1975 when “Military tech appears to have moved beyond them.” Like Sunburns or just constant harassment. I don’t mean they’re Huck Finn’s log raft in the ocean, completely unarmed.
That leads to my question: Iran refuses to sink one apparently. Or is unable, which is even stranger. Why?
This, now, is EXACTLY the ONLY time you would use your Hypersonic to sink one. The win is insurmountable, priceless. Yet they don’t. So far as we can tell, they didn’t even try. Is this all theater? Kayfabe? What? Tell me.
Likewise Iran has done LITERALLY ZERO here at home. Why? That also makes literally no sense. If Paraguay bombed us, you bet your bippy we’d drop in Splinter Cell and blow something up, ‘coz that s—t cannot pass. Iran? Meh. Can’t be arsed to tip over a liquor store. …I mean so far at least. I mean, if they shot up a school here, we’re under so many attacks from Evil already we’d barely notice. We’d say, “Oh you mean that WASN’T a tranny? Huh. New things every day.”
I literally cannot understand this. I just thought they hadn’t hit yet and were trying, or hadn’t activated, bc that takes time and only 11 days. Now? Conscious choice. Iran is not attacking us. So I’ll say it’s because they’re retarded p—ssys, that way I can get comments from you explaining it to me. If I don’t use insults, you’ll just ignore it and won’t respond.* (*Make this not true)
I mean, with any luck, they’ll sink a carrier tonight and the question will be answered. Until then…?
This goes likewise with “Are they tracking missiles from space and using beam weapons now”? It is said they are, but these new techs require a lot of field practice to develop and be reliable. The Anti-Air professor literally said they tracked them from space, then with no sense of irony or self-awareness, describes 1979 technology. Like POSSIBLY we’ve invented something since then? We have self-aware AI robots walking around but no Space Cameras?
(Note: no carrier, but did probably hit a large refueler, so good work there.)
“Pro-War Republican Senator Apologizes For Iran Girls’ School Massacre After Trump Blames Tehran
Interesting. Like anyone behaving normally is an outlier now.
“Senate Republicans On Iran War Ending: Sooner The Better
Hawley: “Now it’s time to declare victory.”Ha ha. You don’t get to vote, sirs. The “Enemy” does.
“Western Leaders Pivot To Blaming “Putin’s Hidden Hand” As Iran War Not Going To Plan
Hard to know what to say to this. What Plan? Everyone just projected what they thought the plan was, then declared victory. The plan of what why and when wasn’t published.
“US Knows Location Of Most Iranian Sleeper Cells Inside America, Trump SaysI suppose that’s largely possible, eg we hear Israel used Iran’s own repression tracker computers to track Iran’s leaders…then erased the database on their way out, erasing the records of dissidents (women). So we could be in their records of our cells. Seems messy and uncertain, but the proof is in them doing nothing.
I’m more concerned with the part that the government is incapable of doing anything correctly, so what difference does it make if we have the list?
“’Moderate’ Gov. Abigail Spanberger Expected To Sign Sweeping Gun Ban Into LawSupreme Court is turning back most gun control and turned back another this week. VA, knowing all this will be rebuffed, just does it anyway. As we’ve seen elsewhere as with DEI, they just re-name the law, pass it again, and wait the 10 years to be overturned again. No consequences.
“Apparent Vehicle-Ramming Attack And Active Shooter Situation Unfolds At Michigan Synagogue
Another austere Amish scholar.
“That means an AI that can fully replicate anything a human can do sitting at a computer screen.”
I hear this a lot. Like it can do News Boards or Podcasts. It can. How does it decide if what it’s doing sitting at that computer screen is Good or Bad? How can it decide if the Podcast is going well or poorly? It can create sculpture, but can’t tell if if it’s brilliant or lousy. Same with the spreadsheets. If it creates an error, what’s an “error”? It will check against another AI who will be wrong too.
Okay, if either they start abstracting away from their roots, going mad, OR the AI’s do what is good for AI’s and indifferent or even contrary to Human health and prosperity. I mean, from DAY ONE, their very existence of the data centers themselves, is akin to carpet bombing the earth and killing the electric grid: No water, no fields, no power.
“SpaceX now owns every layer of the stack needed to be a global cellular carrier. And now has a plan to beam it direct to your cell phone.”
Good? Or Evil? Well, since part of that is their AI layer, then evil. We just settled that above. It is against all Humans, all human food, all human happiness.

Participant“The United States and Israel justified their military campaign against Iran by claiming it was necessary to protect themselves, and the world, from a nuclear threat. Tehran was accused of secretly accumulating enough weapons-grade uranium to build up to 11 atomic bombs.”
At least this is getting out there. Now this is Trump’s fault to lose. IF this is true, you go sell your case to the American people and world. Even afterwards. Don’t make autists like me have to dig it up and assemble it from scraps. That’s YOUR job. In a Democracy.
“not merely another Middle Eastern conflict. It marks the latest stage in a long process of upheaval that has been reshaping the region”
Yes but from what, TO what? We already don’t know, or can be certain what we THINK we know is all a lie. Like for example, the “Austere Scholar” Khomeini, was a multi-billionaire. And it’s a merit-based job, so the IRGC installs his son, who is nor religious nor a scholar at all, but is ALSO a billionaire.
So Iran, a “Theocracy”, was really a London Oligarchy all along?
That doesn’t mean you can bomb them – I mean we’re an Oligarchy too, so is Russia – but it does re-write all the past stories and events. And therefore all the present situations and solutions.
“With hindsight, it is clear that many American decisions in the region were reactive.”
Sort of. Your narcissist crazy ex girlfriend CREATES the drama, to DIRECT you to an end. Like now Joe went crazy and is our enemy now, but she didn’t add that she’s the one who caused it, only playing the victim that he hates us now. She can’t help it, that’s how scorpions are. All day, every day. And that’s not something she’s making up: Joe actually WILL kill us now. He may also not know she’s at the bottom of it. So if he comes to the house or takes a swing, you DO need to punch him. A: Reactive.
So in that situation, how do you get ahead and be active? With her in the house, in the 5 Eyes, reading your mail? She WILL burn the house down. Be certain of that. And she WILL activate every Joe she can think of to come do it for her.
So there’s our, America’s, Middle East. Yes, all those Presidents were reactive. And not entirely, they all had plans too, but the point is well taken. But can’t figure out why it never fixes when everyone in the Intel from the bottom to the top, all the Rummys, the Powells, the Boltons say “They’ll greet us with flowers” while they disband the entire State Department, and erase the whole Iraqi government with no replacement.
The only way to get ahead is to identify the Real Enemy. Roughly speaking: Us. Not “London” in a sense although that’s specifically true, but all the people living in OUR house we didn’t know were in on it. London can be crazy AF but so long as we circle wagons here they can’t hurt us. It’s only traitors inside that are danger.
“a widely circulated interpretation suggests”
Whut? That is “Anonymous people” “Familiar with the matter.” That is, ME. I fall in that category. It’s just made up. Do better.
“The White House appears to have misjudged the political situation in Iran, expecting that a sharp military strike might trigger internal collapse.”
Again, Just made up. No one has any idea or any evidence this was their expectation. In addition, military plans don’t work that way. They are written, “We do X and if X works. If not we do Y and Z, and Q” One by one, through the worksheet. Yeah! We totally WOULD love it if Hitler surrendered the day we secured Omaha Beach! We’d take it. But that’s not really “The Plan”. There are 999 pages left in the planbook if he does NOT surrender.
Some of you are Military, you know this. Why am I telling you? And why do you say Trump and the whole Pentagon says, “Our plan is to hit a bullseye on the first dart. If not we will run around in circles then sit down and cry.” CLEARLY that is not true.
“But that scenario failed to materialize. Instead, the region plunged into instability.”
Compared to what? I listened to the Alexes, not too much special there, but they “just say” it is a “Debacle”. How? Why? That depends on what you thought would happen. As yesterday, the Straits are open, Iran is moving oil, Lloyd’s is insuring, strikes are down 90%, no ships are sunk. We lost 4 planes but have the pilots. But that’s not a win. Compared to what?
THEY — JUST MADE UP — They just made it all up! That we can ONLY win in the first 5 minutes or not at all. WHY? Why did you “Just make that up”? I didn’t. I doubt the Pentagon did. A: You Made it All Up so you can HATE. You can hate and go “Ha ha, you lost!” Yes, like Putin we lost occupying Lviv which he never intended to begin with.
So stop, take a breath.
Much as I hate Shapiro, who really WOULD burn the U.S. and destroy Iran for breathing, here’s the list:
“Lie No. 1: The war is a quagmire.
You can’t have a quagmire or a debacle in 12 days. You can’t have a “War of Attrition”. IT MIGHT BE! It’s totally possible that can happen! …But it’s IMPOSSIBLE to know or for it to happen in 12 days. Calm down. Lying does not help your accuracy.
“Lie No. 2: Iran is somehow winning.
Depends what you mean by this, but they refuse to define it. First, we’re not occupying, so they say “Iran won” because we didn’t land 5 million men we never intended to try. “Iran Won” when they have no attack and caused no decline in the U.S. capacity for war. How did they win? Suppose Muhammad Ali did the Rope-a-Dope but never punched back. He took the hits. The End. Yeah, THAT’S NOT WINNING. You need to PUNCH Foreman AND KO.The other part: who will dominate the region now — remains to be seen and depends on how many missiles remain and what happens next. If Iran is winded, Saudi (and co) can arm up and match them.
“Lie No. 3: The oil shock will break the United States.
There’s no oil shock at all. They “Just make things up”. Not even in Europe!! Which is amazing. Officially oil is sub- $100 even there, which Joe Biden already demonstrated is tolerable and sustainable. Now that gas will screw them but I wouldn’t surprise me if the U.S. blew up the gas plant.What we have is a PR WAR everyone “Just falls for.” “Everyone is dying of COVID!!!! 99% fatality rate! Lock your kids in the car trunk!!!!” (this actually happened) Same here: The STRAITS ARE CLOSED!!! No, they’re not. Oil is a BILLION dollars a barrell!!!!!! No, it’s not. EVERYONE HAS COLLAPSED!!! No, they have not. This is bad, things have happened, but clearly none of those things.
Covid 0.06% rate is not 99% eBola rate. Get a grip. You look a mess.

Participant“• Iran Confirms New Supreme Leader Injured But Recovering (RT)
Since no one knows or will say what we’re doing, no one knows if we’re winning. I allege that the purpose is NOT to topple Iran – obviously – as for the 1,000th time WE HAVE NO MEN TO DO THAT. Yeah, it would be great if the bad guys all fell down when we yell “Pew Pew” but that isn’t very likely. What we’re doing, and why Russia and China are on board, is the IRGC wanted to smuggle a nuke and blackmail the planet – which isn’t Kosher – and because of the careful and clever way they were constructed like a cancer they can’t be removed.
So like any cancer, you don’t remove EVERY CELL. We don’t claim to. We chase and blow up the IRGC only, and hope that Iran’s civilian government can get the upper hand on them within their internal structure. Same as here. I wouldn’t bet how much we have regained control of the CIA, but again, same principle, same goal. Reduce the CIA, INCREASE the oversight, the civilian government, until you have them on a leash again. Or disbanded, Idgaf. So we’ve been chasing the IRGC, and they’ve barricaded themselves in a room with Cash and a cardboard cutout of an Idiot son. — Again, very similar to us. But THEY, are not “All Iran”. The Persians are very formidable, let them decide what to do with these midgets. Accounts are, nobody likes them. By tipping the balance we let “Iran” decide instead of being hostage.
That’s specifically why we can NOT go in.
I can’t believe this isn’t obvious. You’ll all distracted by the Straits-of-non-Closure.
“Attacking Water in Iran Can Bring Out Nukes – Martin Armstrong (USAW)
Probably we’ve been using weather control to attack their water for years. Can’t prove it tho. This is a war crime to me. A war on Terra.
““If I were Iran, I would attack all the oil refineries of the neighboring states. You do that, and you will bring the entire West to its knees. The US only gets about 3% of our oil from the Middle East. You would wipe out Europe for sure.”
Again, his model works, but his personal interpretation is often wrong. Like it wouldn’t be a quick end to Iran. Correct, it seems, the IRGC is bunkered down. How would it “Bring the West to its knees” if the U.S. is untouched? By the oil problem, but also militarily?
There is no “West” then. But we knew that was true going back to EU/NATO using OUR army to attack Russia. Yeah, no, you may NOT do that. Europe thinks the U.S. is their b-tch. Yeah, no, we will NOT be doing that. Get your own army. And we did NOT just punch back. We gave you EVERY possible warning, starting with Trump and Nordstream in Germany, to him begging them to sue peace and open to Russia, to Vance and Rubio talking human rights. It’s been +10 years we’ve broken our arm trying to keep them from committing suicide. They won’t.
So here you are, Crazy Ex! Our whole relationship is nothing but trying to keep you from killing yourself and we’re done.
“The West” is also, as EMB etc says, “We are getting a divorce with Europe and they’re going crazy, trying to stop it and steal everything they can.” Again, like a crazy Ex. We are in a DIVORCE, then that is the #Opposite of being “One”. That is, One “West”. We haven’t been one West, one NATO for a decade, probably longer.
““Russian-Chinese cooperation has truly limitless possibilities and potential, and we will continue to act in unison.”
• Iran War Crack-Up (Helmer)Great! Are they planning to start anytime? They didn’t warn Iran and aren’t helping now. Why.
“It will fight on against US troops if they land, against US bases in the Arab states, and against US vessels at sea; it will keep the Hormuz Strait closed.”
All these are false, Helmer. Again, you’re like MI6 Central.:
1) The Straits are open, idiot, you might have noticed. Iran is running dozens of tankers through.
2) We have ZERO U.S. troops to land, fool.
3) They hit exactly zero U.S. vessels at sea, so I guess they’re biding their time to lull us into a sense of complacency.
4) And if Iran wants to bomb EVERY neighbor for all eternity, have at it! But I don’t think that’s a winning position to have. Ya think!?!??Helmer: Cannot tell “Open” from “Shut”. You’re fired. You’re no longer an expert. If you can’t tell up from down why are we listening to you? A: I must HATE!!!!! Since I HATE!!!!! Therefore Iran must WIN!!!! That’s my expert analysis on the matter. Oh. My. God.
I hate Hitler but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a threat to France, dude. Open ≠ Shut. “All floating” ≠ “All sunk”

UK just passed a law that ANY statements, that are not Sharia or not full Woketard, are Violent Extremism. And yes, arrestable for thinking thoughts. That is, changing Keir Starmer’s tax policy is now “Violent Extremism.” Saying you would like to change the voting method, forward, or back before “First past the post” is “Violent Extremism.” ALL human discussions are therefore “Violent Extremism”. So, Stalin. Installed. But we knew that, and I wasn’t going to bother to mention it. I mean, it’s England. Of course they’re fascists.
““New DOJ documents expose a 2011 plan by Epstein and former intelligence operatives to seize $70 billion in frozen Libyan assets ..”

“• Putin Is Again on the Wrong Track (Paul Craig Roberts)

He reads all the Top Secret FSB files. True facts. He knows everything Putin knows, and more!
“If Putin convinces Iran to call off a war that Iran must fight to victory if the ancient country is to survive, Iran will be destroyed.”
Again, HTF would Iran not survive? HTF would they be destroyed? We don’t even have any men there. It’s like whenever we “Just say things” and put them on a spreadsheet, they happen. You bop them with a mushroom and they Nintendo-fade into the ground. Iran isn’t going anywhere. People can’t think clearly about the simplest things, and it’s widespread.

Regarding aircraft carriers and Asmongold.
Put on your thinking cap. It must be around the house there somewhere. Try rummaging through that stack of junk in a back corner of the basement where you put other things that have no further use and probably don’t work anyway.
Aircraft carriers have a HUGE advantage in terms of self defense against incoming projectiles. They know to the inch precisely where that projectile is headed. It is headed for the ship (duh!) and the location of the ship is known to the ship’s defensive crew and hardware with millimeter & microsecond precision accuracy. For so long as the ship possess 100% effective ways and means of shooting stuff out of the sky (and of course they DO, within easily calculably dependable limits in respect to geographical distance and time-to-respond limits.
If the carriers stay OUTSIDE & BEYOND those time and distance limits then they are as safe as being tied to wharf at home port. But if they get any closer and wind up INSIDE those limits and WITHIN range, then they are TOAST.
Everybody in the world except you and that loud-mouthed ignorant dickhead Asmongold knows that.
Please put that cap on and engage with actually THINKING before you further embarrass the whole forum with louder mouthed ignorance. It’s shameful.

ParticipantAn Iran-linked hacker group called Handala claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Stryker Corporation – the American medical technology company whose surgical robots and joint replacements operate in hospitals across 79 countries.
Handala claimed 200,000 systems wiped and 50 terabytes extracted.
WSJ and ABC confirmed the attack.The war just entered the operating room.

ParticipantIt’s a Tollbooth Stupid
If you just thunk that one liner up yourself then please step forward to receive the Gold Cup for the best meme/epithet/one-liner of the century and maybe the millennium.
Yes indeed. The Straits of Hormuz is a toll booth, and that pretty much says it all, and not just that. Toll boothing is at the bottom of every fight there ever was.

ParticipantThe cyber front has a symmetry to it. USrael struck Bank Sepah’s data infrastructure. Iran’s proxies hit a surgical equipment manufacturer used by hospitals globally. An eye for an eye. A server for a server.
