with the only difference with the change from Khomeini to Khamenei. So while looking like a random stream of consciousness these posts are actually being reviewed and updated with some level of care about accuracy. This is the USA President being serious: Blockade the Strait of Hormuz to ALL traffic and interdict any ship that passed through.

Here's the full latest post:

So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khamenei, and most of their “Leaders,” are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The similarities between Charlie Kirk and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel are striking. Certain types of political parties use martyrs for propaganda.

Found this image with details about the outage. Finally - my username is widely appropriate instead of just specifically me.

I had a company I was doing business with reject a valid email address of mine because it contained a "." character in it. I got an error message about this being invalid email address to use. My "first.last@emailprovider.com" address had no problems sending/receiving emails with anyone else.

There should be some simplified standard way to identify what combination of email configuration is/isn't supported by companies and email providers. This can also future proof against future changes in email configuration changing over time due to the ongoing fight against spam.

Don't be so quick to trust anything Tump says is truthful. Snippet from this CBC news article about it:

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens says parts of Trump's post are factually incorrect, as U.S. steel was used in the construction from the Michigan side of the river.

"It's just insane," Dilkens told CBC Power & Politics host David Cochrane on Monday evening.

This is an insane word salad:

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The CBC is sane-washing this word salad post:

He thinks Canadians are so concerned about the threat that China has for "ICE Hockey" that we must surrender to his demands!?

Ah yes, the Davos Elite, the usual conspiracy scapegoats.

The same group that is organizing the "You will Own Nothing" plot and force you to eat bugs and be locked up in your 15 minute prison.

Lots of topics are brought up at the WEF. Even Trump's word salad of a "speech" got polite applause from those who stayed to the end but I doubt the Davos Elite agreed with his message that the USA needs full ownership of Greenland and Europe can't function without the USA.

Can someone define the differences/commonalities between the Davos Elite and the Laurentian Elite? Is Trudeau the common factor? It's hard for me to keep up with the conspiracy villains.

Freshly re-approved CPC leader Pierre Poilievre will protect Canada from the globalist WEF elites:

There was a recent study done by the University of Cambridge which analyzed the black market for fake accounts across various platforms in multiple countries. They found there was a correlation with the price of these accounts and ease/difficulty in setting up a SIM farm for that country.

Snippets from https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/price-bot-army-global-index

“One SIM card can be used for hundreds of different platforms,” said Dek. “Vendors recoup SIM costs by selling high-demand verifications for apps like Facebook and Telegram, then profit from the long tail of other platforms.”

....

A new analysis using twelve months of COTSI data, published in the journal Science, shows that verifying fake accounts for use in the US and UK is almost as cheap as in Russia, while Japan and Australia have high prices due to SIM costs and photo ID rules.

So the likely outcome of this Korean effort will be to increase the costs for fake accounts but not to entirely eliminate them. With the extra risk of another place for sensitive data to be leaked.

The name prometheus is already in use by an open source monitoring project:

They are both in the computer field so there is some chance for confusion. Especially if the Prometheus monitoring project has some AI capabilities then that would strengthen the case for a trademark naming conflict.

Apple Inc, the computer company, had to settle and pay Apple Corps (the Beatles record label) money to settle trademark rights for the Apple name when Apple got into music business:

Time will tell. The ad campaign and Trump's reaction to it may play a role in the start of a shift on Republican unity in the States.

From https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/29/politics/canada-tariffs-senate-vote-trump where some Republican Senators voted with Democrats to end tariffs on Canada:

Sen. Tim Kaine, one of the Democratic co-sponsors of the Canada tariff resolution, said Tuesday that the president’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was not appropriate. The administration initially argued that fentanyl flowing from Canada into the US was the inciting emergency, and the tariffs were increased last week after the Ontario Premier ran an anti-tariff advertisement invoking quotes from former President Ronald Reagan.

“It is ridiculous to say that fentanyl is an emergency with respect to Canada, and it’s a pretext that’s just used being used to pour more and more tariffs onto Canada,” said Kaine. “And why don’t we pour gasoline on the fire? If they run an ad we don’t like, we’ll increase the tariffs by 10%.”
