Trump Posts Article Laying Out: “Here’s How To Crush Tehran In Three Moves”

Trump Posts Article Laying Out: “Here’s How To Crush Tehran In Three Moves”

Published by Jenni Sidey

President Trump on Thursday posted to Truth Social a New York Post article which was first published over two weeks ago, on May 1st, with the headline “Here’s how to crush Tehran in three moves.“ Trump’s new social media post, issued without additional comment, comes just after news of Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei having drawn a hard line in the sand, ordering that Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% remain strictly inside Iranian territory. So now the world awaits what’s next at a moment the White House has renewed threats of massive military strikes if Iran doesn’t quickly come to the table and conform. The NY Post article had straight-faced and without a hint of intended irony proclaimed: “President Trump has the upper hand.” That statement was issued on day 63 of Trump’s Iran war. Today is day 83. What did the interim look like as the world’s most powerful military force has been unable to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, amid constant threats to take new, bigger military action – but which never actually materializes …

U.S. Navy | Getty Images President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he has ordered the U.S. Navy “to shoot and kill any boat” that is laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. “There is to be no hesitation,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. The president added that he is ordering U.S. minesweepers to continue clearing the strait “at a tripled up level!” The post shows the U.S. ratcheting up tensions with Iran over the vital oil shipping route, which has been largely choked off since the war began in late February. Trump has aggressively pushed Tehran to fully reopen the strait as part of a shaky ceasefire, which was set to expire this week before being unilaterally extended by the president. The U.S. has …

Waymo confirms it is ‘laying the groundwork’ in Chicago

Waymo confirms it is ‘laying the groundwork’ in Chicago

Published by skeptic

After Chicago residents began posting images of Waymo vehicles being unloaded on the city’s streets, the autonomous rideshare company confirmed it is exploring expanding its network to the Second City. However, an obstacle currently stands in the way of that deployment. Waymo continues to support the argument that it is the leader in autonomous rideshare capabilities in the US, despite Tesla’s claims. The Google subsidiary recently began deploying its 6th-generation “Driver” system on public roads. This latest system was designed with greater modularity to accommodate multiple EV platforms, such as the Zeekr-built “Ojai” EV and the Hyundai IONIQ 5 (part of an agreement announced earlier this month). Aside from expanding its proprietary technology, Waymo continues to expand its public reach into new US cities, though most remain in the testing and mapping stages. Yesterday, Waymo announced the start of public rides in four additional cities, including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando. Meanwhile, up North, Waymo was apparently gearing up for testing in Chicago, and several onlookers snapped pictures and posted to social media. Advertisement …

The comedian’s notoriously prickly persona is immediately evident in filmmaker Marina Zenovich’s new documentary, “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not,” airing Thursday on CNN. During their initial encounter, Chase warned Zenovich that understanding him would be difficult. When asked why, he retorted: “You’re not bright enough, how’s that?” This revealing exchange, included in the film, speaks volumes about both Zenovich’s candid approach and Chase himself – a gifted physical comedian celebrated for classic 1970s and ’80s comedies such as “Fletch,” “Three Amigos,” “Caddyshack,” and the National Lampoon’s “Vacation” franchise. “He’s one of those people everybody thinks they know,” Zenovich observes. “He has a reputation that precedes him and there’s something …
