20% tolls? Most of the big oil tankers hold 1 Million Barrels of oil.
At $60 per barrel, that would be $60 Million in inventory.
20% toll of that is $12 Million.

Can you imagine if the U.S. gets $12 Million per large oil tanker? An average of about 10 to 15 Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily during normal operations, carrying roughly 15 million barrels of crude oil per day on average. The total would be $180 Million per day just for those very large ships. That doesn't count any other cargo, LNG or other shipping.

That totals to about $65 BILLION per year just in escorting the large crude tanker ships. If you add in the other types of shipping, it probably goes to $100-$150 Billion per year.

Ah-ma-dinner-jacket played a key role in the 1978 Iranian revolution that held Americans embassy workers hostage for over 400-days.

He was a student leader who organized demonstrations during the Iranian Revolution. After the revolution, he joined the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Former embassy hostages identified him as a participant.

At best, he's a less rotten apple in a whole barrel of rotten apples.

I just TURN OFF any Bruce Springsteen music. Problem solved.
His song comes on the radio... station is switched to anything else.

I do the same thing for Rosie O'Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg or any other actors or actresses that are a mess. Their movies or shows get ZERO viewership from my house.

Also, be sure to check the reverse-truth indicators.

If the NY Times claims it's true... it isn't.

If more than 4 main stream news broadcasts inexplicably use the exact same language as each other (as if they're reading the same script) to describe an event... then it didn't happen that way.

If the event is jumped on by Democrats as an excuse to take away our rights... then the basic incident may have happened, but not in the way they claim.

Wishing that wasn't true in the American Public School System.

The people hired to get rid of ignorance... seem to do their level best to preserve it.

At least the UK rape gangs didn't display a British flag.

Authorities cannot allow that, because displaying the flag might be insensitive to other's feelings.

Per the DC medical examiner, Graham died from:

“aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease”.

That means a tear or rupture of the aorta. Sudden impacts like car wrecks, explosions, blunt trauma, falls and percussive forces can cause aortic dissection. These cause rapid deceleration of the heart, creating intense shear stress leading to tears and dissection.

Just saying. Where in the world might Lindsey have come into contact with such a force?

How does a top nuclear scientist NOT figure out that situation?

Scientist: "You are really hot!"

Woman: "You know what turns me on?"

Scientist: "What is that?"

Woman: "Nuclear weapon sites".

Scientist: "Really, that's odd!"

Woman: "Hearing all about nuclear missile sites is the only way I can relax".

Scientist: "Well... if it helps you relax..."

Woman: "I also need the launch codes. Those codes make me quiver for you".

Scientist: "OK. Did I mention you're really hot?"

I cannot understand people in those positions being this stupid. Maybe the military should teach classes in not falling for a honey pot. The military should randomly test these leaders by hiring beautiful female actors. Every time they fall for trap, the person instantly gets zapped by a tazer. After a few times... even the slow will learn. If you're a middle aged closet-case scientist... and an attractive young woman wants to have dinner, drinks and a nice long conversation with you... maybe skip the conversation part.

The U.S. should develop prisons for pedophiles in extreme remote Northern Alaska.

No need for prison walls or fences. Let the bears, harsh environment and the thousands of miles of wilderness sort out the ones who try escaping.

When their sentence is over, give them $20, a cheap outfit... and show them out the front gates of the prison. They can walk from there.

She did the best thing possible. Stay cool, calm... and then POST THE VIDEO ONLINE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE.

That's how we win. Make sure everyone sees and there is no denial.

Consider the strong possibility of a FALSE FLAG attack.

The Iran IRGC, the Mullahs, the Iranian government... none if them has total control of anything now. Promises made by one are broken by the others. That said, none of them have control of all the weapons and nobody knows which special forces from other nations might be hiding within Iran too.

Any small group can attack a ship 10 miles off the coast. This could easily be Israeli mossad forces in Iran, ocassionally firing at random ships... then watching Iranian military getting the snot bombed out of them in response.

It could be Kurdish, or even Omani or Saudi forces who infiltrated Iran, and shoot a missile or drone at a ship... which results in Iran being destroyed.

It could even be U.S. special forces providing justification for further U.S. attacks on Iranian regime. The military strikes don't require notifying Congress... because we are defending international shipping per agreement.

It's NOT kids that will take advantage. It's major drug traffickers and Marijuana growers. For 1 year, they can transport, store, deal and grow Marijuana in any strength, quantity or variety they want. If they are arrested, they have an outstanding legal defense as there is no law in place under which they can be arrested.

It's partly about Democrat stupidity in canceling the previous laws too early... but more about their idiocy in thinking they don't need to fix the problem.

Seems to me that she can use 5 years of living in Afghanistan or Pakistan.

Then she can come back and lecture us about Christianity not appreciating the equality of men and women. Either that, or she can provide details of how she was forced to cover her head in public and was beaten every time she spoke to a man she wasn't related to.

When you have a high population of gay Jewish men... it says a LOT about the alternative of dating or marrying the Jewish women.

Good crowd control tool if the person is wearing light weight clothing, isn't moving around and there aren't others standing closely next to them.

The problem is that tasers can be defeated by thick fabrics, like a heavy denim or leather jacket. The drone fired taser has two needle-like probe ends. Both have to reach the skin to deliver the voltage. If one of the pair doesn't make contact, then no electricity. The ultimate armor is wearing clothing that is made with carbon fibers. That can disperse the electricity and render it useless.

The ultimate protection against a flying taser is to simply carry a $2 plastic see-through umbrella. If the drone is flying, then open the umbrella and keep it between yourself and the drone. A $2 disposable umbrella beats a $20,000 drone.
