The U.S. Navy is facing a serious logistics problem in the Middle East.

Around 20 ships carrying roughly 20,000 sailors and Marines need more than 420,000 meals and about eight million gallons of fuel every week.

The situation became much harder after Iran destroyed a key Navy logistics base in Bahrain and made other nearby ports too dangerous to use.

Supply ships now have to travel about 2,200 miles to Diego Garcia, or even farther to Singapore, before returning to the fleet.

Spanish Police vs. Their Own People

Spanish riot police move in to attack, firing pepper spray at the crowds that gathered in Madrid last night to protest against mass immigration and the invasion of Ceuta.

No pepper spray was used against the 80,000 illegal migrants when they stormed Ceuta.

"Iranian parliament speaker slams US for ‘satanic’ strike on wedding ceremony

“If a power acts like Satan, picks targets like Satan, and kills like Satan, it’s Satan,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X.

He lashed out at the US over its targeting civilians, including children, during the deadly attacks on a wedding ceremony in southern Iran’s Kouhestak, a school in Minab, and a sports hall in Lamerd.

The September 1 wedding ceremony attack killed five people and wounded 68 others, while previous US strikes on the Minab school and the Lamerd sports hall claimed the lives of at least 155 and 24, respectively.

Iran has, meanwhile, released a new Lego video to pay tribute to all those killed in the Kouhestak strike. “You [the US] turned a wedding into a mourning. Now, wait for revenge,” the video warns.

Robo waifus create a pro male society by redirecting male attention away from biofoids. Men need someone to love and biofoids prove they are not it so more and more men are just becoming apathetic but robo waifus fulfill that need.

Lindsay Clancy is innocent. You might disagree. You might even have some evidence to the contrary. But you have to ask yourself: is this really worth missing work so you can sit in jury deliberation having a staring contest with some feminist that's got nothing better to do, until eventually you lose your job? Lindsay Clancy is innocent.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The U.S. used more than 80 Patriot missiles to repel just one Iranian attack on American facilities in Jordan, reports Military Watch Magazine. According to the publication, this accounts for more than 10% of the entire U.S. arsenal of such missiles.
