Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Meanwhile, dozens were injured by Iranian strikes in Israel, as Tehran targeted a nuclear site.

Donald Trump threatened Iran in a Truth Social post Saturday evening, warning that the U.S. would target the nation’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote in the post.

Approximately 20% of the world’s oil passes through the the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route. Iranian attacks on ships in the area have seen the area essentially close to maritime traffic, while oil prices have soared globally.

They give us entertainment and lifestyles that are planned, focus grouped, and created to psychologically make us disassociate from the reality of humanity.

It's not even a conspiracy anymore. And when I say they I mean the corrupt class and the American dreamers that think because they are attaining success from a taught career that makes them somehow believe they are on the right side of history.

I swear to god Americans aren't even human anymore. They are cattle, products and consumers. They are the equivalent of the people fent bending on the sidewalk except they are culturally accepted. It doesn't matter if you have success here... You could be a celebrity, chief of police, a family dad, a politician.... It doesn't equal being someone worth respecting or that they are a good person. I can't stop seeing American success as an illusion to keep people as cattle or working cattle... The real wealthy get to use them all because it's like the nation is just a service. We get sold to the highest bidder. America is a service. This isn't freedom or democracy. Our freedom is a like a fake free-range farm system. And it's getting even more evil as they start implementing Ai...

We are getting kettled. On a national scale.
