fact-check-185.png: Fact-check card with dark background and red banner at top containing white text reading 'Claim: "Go get your own oil! [implying other nations can simply resolve the Strait crisis independently]"' with five white stars above it. Below in bold white italic text: 'This needs context.' Lower section on dark gray background contains white text explaining that the US initiated Operation Epic Fury which triggered Iran's closure of the Strait, that the IEA estimates 8+ million barrels per day of crude production curtailed, Kuwait Petroleum's CEO called it an attack holding the world's economy hostage, oil executives at CERAWeek warned recovery will take 3-4 months minimum, and the crisis is a direct consequence of US military action not allied inaction. Red border frames the entire card.
fact-check-184.png: Fact-check card with dark background and red banner containing white text reading 'Claim: "Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done."' with five white stars above. Below in bold white italic text: 'This is exaggerated.' Lower section explains US/Israeli strikes degraded Iran's air defenses, air force, and naval assets, White House claims 90% reduction in ballistic missile attacks and 95% in drone attacks, but Iran continues firing missiles and drones daily, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed under Iranian control, Trump himself admitted March 14 Iran can still send drones and missiles, Gen. Mattis warned 'we're in a tough spot,' and the war is ongoing with no ceasefire. Red border frames the card.
IMG_8437.JPG: Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) with a profile picture showing Trump's face overlaid with an American flag pattern. The post reads: 'All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT' White background with black text.
fact-check-183.png: Fact-check card with dark background and red banner containing white text reading 'Claim: "The U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us."' with five white stars above. Below in bold white italic text: 'This is misleading.' Lower section details UK military assistance including defensive air operations across Jordan, Qatar, Iraq, and Cyprus; base access for US bombers at RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia; deployment of Ukrainian counter-UAS operators to the Gulf; additional naval and air assets. Notes a YouGov poll showed 58% of Britons opposed further involvement yet UK government still expanded its role. States characterizing this as 'not being there' erases documented allied contributions. Red border frames the card.
fact-check-182.png: Fact-check card with dark background and red banner containing white text reading 'Claim: "Buy from the U.S., we have plenty."' with five white stars above. Below in bold white italic text: 'This is misleading.' Lower section explains US produces approximately 13.6 million barrels per day of crude (a record) but remains a net importer of crude oil (net imports approximately 2.2 million barrels per day in 2025), US refineries are built for heavy Middle Eastern crude not domestic light sweet crude, US gas prices hit $4/gallon on March 31, 2026 (up 35% in one month), Kpler notes US Gulf Coast jet fuel exports rarely exceed 1 million tonnes/month and cannot offset the 300,000 barrels per day European shortfall, and 'We have plenty' misrepresents structural constraints and domestic pain. Red border frames the card.
fact-check-181.png: Fact-check card with dark background and red banner containing white text reading 'Claim: "The United Kingdom refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran."' with five white stars above. Below in bold white italic text: 'This is misleading.' Lower section explains the UK declined offensive strikes but has been significantly involved: PM Starmer initially denied US request to use UK bases then on March 1 authorized their use for specific and limited defensive purposes, RAF F-35s shot down Iranian drones over Jordan, Typhoons intercepted drones targeting Qatar, UK forces intercepted drones in Iraqi airspace, UK bases at RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia are hosting US bombers, and calling this 'refusing to get involved' erases substantial military contribution. Red border frames the card.
Trump told the UK to "go get your own oil" while we pay $4/gal because of HIS war. We fact-checked every claim. The UK is literally shooting down drones and hosting our bombers. We're a net oil importer. Iran still controls the Strait. #IranWar #FactCheck #GodlessEngineer

AtheistDay-26.jpg: Text reads 'NORMALIZE ATHEISM!' in large bold green block letters at the top, and 'HAPPY ATHEIST DAY' in the same style at the bottom, with 'MARCH 23, 2026' beneath it. The center features a green brushstroke circle resembling a Zen enso symbol. The background is a warm gold-to-yellow radial gradient. The overall design is bold, clean, and celebratory with a green and gold color scheme.
Happy Atheist Day! Normalize not needing a cosmic hall monitor to be a decent person. If you're out, celebrate. If you're not yet, we've got your back.

DemsIntroducted7BillsToFundTSA.jpg: A screenshot of a tweet from the verified Democrats account (@TheDemocrats) overlaid on a photograph of an extremely crowded airport terminal. The tweet reads: 'Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans.' The number 7 has been struck through in red, with a red number 9 placed above it as a correction. The background shows hundreds of travelers packed into long, winding security lines with luggage, visibly frustrated. The Democrats' blue donkey logo appears next to the account name. A red bold text banner at the bottom of the image reads: 'UPDATED: REPUBLICANS HAVE NOW BLOCKED 9 BILLS.' A partial 'GE' watermark is visible in the lower left corner.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government.
Dems introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. All blocked by the GOP. The real count is now 9.
TSA agents are working without pay. 300+ quit. 3-hour lines.
But sure, it's someone else's fault.

fact-check-136.png: Dark background with red border. Five white stars at top. Red box contains claim text in bold white: 'We had four years under Joe Biden of open borders. We had 12 million people flood across the border.' Below, gray box with red italic header 'This is exaggerated.' followed by white body text explaining the '12 million' figure conflates border encounters with people who actually entered and remained. CBP recorded approximately 10.3-11 million total encounters nationwide during the Biden administration, but encounters are not equivalent to entries. Over 4 million encountered migrants were returned, and 20-25% of encounters involved repeat crossers counted multiple times. The net increase in unauthorized immigrant population was substantially lower. The Center for Immigration Studies estimated the unauthorized population rose by approximately 2.4 million in Biden's first 27 months. The characterization of 'open borders' is described as hyperbolic. Text is truncated with ellipsis.
fact-check-137.png: Dark background with red border. Five white stars at top. Red box contains claim text in bold white: 'The threat of terrorist attack is higher now than it has been in decades.' Below, gray box with red italic header 'This is needs context.' (apparent typo in original) followed by white body text explaining there is a reasonable basis for concern about an elevated terror threat in March 2026. The FBI has issued alerts about possible Iranian sleeper cell activation following the killing of Supreme Leader Khamenei. Encrypted communications believed to originate from Iran were intercepted. Two violent incidents with apparent extremist motivations occurred within days of each other. However, Cruz's framing attributes this threat entirely to Biden-era border policy and the DHS shutdown while omitting the most direct cause cited by intelligence officials: the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran (Operation Epic Fury), which Cruz himself championed. On March 1, Cruz told CBS and CNN that killing the Ayatollah made America 'much, much safer.' Text is truncated with ellipsis.
Ted Cruz told Hannity the terror threat is the highest it's been in decades.
Funny, because just 8 days earlier he was on CBS saying killing the Ayatollah made America "much, much safer."
fact-check-130.png: Dark background with red border. Five white stars at top. Red box contains claim text in bold white: '[Implicit] The elevated terror threat is caused by Biden's border policy and the DHS shutdown, not by the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran.' Below, gray box with red italic header 'This is misleading.' followed by white body text explaining that Cruz identifies two causes of the heightened terror threat (Biden's border policy and the DHS shutdown) but never mentions Operation Epic Fury, the U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign against Iran that began February 28, 2026, which Cruz himself advocated. The text details how U.S. intelligence officials have explicitly linked the elevated threat to this conflict, including FBI alerts about potential Iranian drone attacks on California, intercepted encrypted communications, attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities, and warnings about retaliation for killing Khamenei. Text is truncated with ellipsis.
fact-check-131.png: Dark background with red border. Five white stars at top. Red box contains claim text in bold white: 'The Department of Homeland Security, its central purpose is to prevent acts of terrorism. And the Democrats are saying defund DHS when we're facing a massive risk of terrorism.' Below, gray box with red italic header 'This is misleading.' followed by white body text explaining that while DHS was created in 2002 with counterterrorism as a primary mission, saying Democrats want to 'defund DHS' is a mischaracterization. Democrats have proposed funding every DHS component except ICE and CBP while negotiations continue over immigration enforcement reforms. ICE and CBP already received more than $70 billion in the 2025 reconciliation bill, and ICE's own acting director testified the shutdown would not significantly impact enforcement operations. The word 'defund' carries rhetorical baggage from 'Defund the Police' and is used to create a misleading impression. Text is truncated with ellipsis.
fact-check-132.png: Dark background with red border. Five white stars at top. Red box contains claim text in bold white: 'Every single Democrat except John Fetterman has voted over and over again to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.' Below, gray box with red italic header 'This is needs context.' (apparent typo in original) followed by white body text explaining the claim is technically accurate in the narrowest sense. Senate Democrats (except Fetterman) have repeatedly voted to block the House-passed DHS funding bill, and DHS has been in partial shutdown since February 14, 2026. The most recent vote on March 13 failed 51-46 with Fetterman as the lone Democrat voting to advance. However, Democrats blocked the bill because it includes full funding for ICE and CBP without reforms demanded after federal immigration agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens. Democrats offered to fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and CISA while negotiations on ICE and CBP continue. Republicans blocked those proposals. Text is truncated with ellipsis.
fact-check-135.png: Dark background with red border. Five white stars at top. Red box contains claim text in bold white: 'Biden's open borders were basically an open invitation to every terrorist, every Hamas and Hezbollah and IRGC terrorist come to America.' Below, gray box with red italic header 'This is misleading.' followed by white body text explaining Cruz implies a direct causal chain from Biden border policy to specific terrorist incidents. However, neither incident supports this claim. The Austin shooter, Ndiaga Diagne, entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2000 during the Clinton administration, obtained a green card through marriage in 2006 under the Bush administration, and was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2013 under the Obama administration. The NYC bomb suspects, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, were both U.S. citizens from Pennsylvania. Balat's parents were born in Turkey and naturalized in 2017; Kayumi's parents are from Afghanistan and naturalized between 2004 and 2009. Neither crossed a border illegally under Biden. Text notes CBP recorded 388 encounters with watchlist individuals and is truncated with ellipsis.
Cruz: America is "much safer" after killing the Ayatollah.
Cruz 8 days later: Terror threat highest in decades.
Pick one, Ted. Full fact-check in the carousel.

fact-check-129.png: Top of image shows five white stars on a dark background with a red border. Below, a red banner reads in bold white text: 'Claim: "Iran\'s nuclear weapons would destroy the Middle East and, indeed, the World."' Below the banner, on a dark gray background, bold red italic text reads: 'This is exaggerated.' The body text in white explains that no mainstream nuclear policy expert describes a potential Iranian nuclear weapon as capable of destroying the world. It cites Iran's ballistic missile arsenal (~1,500 missiles), the Khorramshahr family's range of 2,000-3,000 km and payloads up to 1,800 kg, Iran's self-imposed range limit of ~2,000 km, no intercontinental ballistic missiles, DIA assessment that ICBM capability might take until 2035, Iran cannot strike the U.S. homeland, a hypothetical arsenal of 1-5 weapons would represent 0.01-0.04% of the global nuclear stockpile (~12,241 warheads per SIPRI), and expert-identified threats including a regional proliferation cascade with Saudi Crown Prince MBS explicitly stating... The text is cut off at the bottom.
"Iran will destroy the world" with nukes they don't have and ICBMs that don't exist. Their max range is ~2,000 km. They can't hit the US. A 1-5 weapon arsenal = 0.01% of global stockpile. The threat is real but regional, not apocalyptic. Stop buying the hype. #GodlessEngineer #Iran #FactCheck

u95kzdrdqqog1.jpg: A TV screen displaying what appears to be a local news broadcast segment titled 'TIPS TO SAVE ON GAS' in bold dark text on a blue banner. On the right side of the screen is a close-up image of a gas pump nozzle. The left side lists five bullet points in white text on blue geometric background: 'CHECK YOUR TIRES,' 'REDUCE YOUR SPEED,' 'AVOID LOTS OF STARTS AND STOPS,' 'GET RID OF EXTRA WEIGHT,' and the final satirical addition: 'DON'T GO TO WAR JUST BECAUSE ISRAEL TELLS YOU TO.' A small news station logo is partially visible in the bottom right corner. The first four tips appear to be from an actual news broadcast, with the fifth clearly edited in as political satire.
Best gas-saving tip your local news won't air: stop going to war every time a foreign government asks nicely. Funny how the "support the troops" crowd never mentions what it costs you at the pump. #GodlessEngineer #GasPrices #AntiWar
Meme with white bold text at the top reading 'CORTELLESSA: SHOULD AMERICANS BE CONCERNED ABOUT A POTENTIAL STRIKE ON THE HOMELAND?' Below is a close-up photo of Donald Trump with a stern, scowling expression, wearing a red and gold outfit. He is lit dramatically against a dark background with bokeh lights. A small 'GE' watermark appears on the left side of the image. Yellow bold text overlays the lower portion of the image reading '"WHEN YOU GO TO WAR, SOME PEOPLE WILL DIE."' followed by a second line in yellow reading 'IF YOU DIE, YOU DIE.'
Trump was asked if Americans should worry about a homeland attack. His response: "Some people will die."
That's the whole plan. You're an acceptable loss.
This is "America First" with the mask off. #GodlessEngineer #PoliticalAccountability

Text on image reads: 'Jesus: Born of a virgin, fathered by a pedophile.' The image is AI-generated art in a warm, candlelit style reminiscent of classical religious paintings. A man resembling traditional depictions of Jesus (long brown hair, beard, tan robes) sits on a wooden throne-like chair with a glowing white halo above his head. A young girl with light reddish-brown hair wearing a blue-gray dress sits beside him. The background features stone walls, multiple oil lanterns, and lit candles creating a warm amber glow. A small Godless Engineer logo appears in the bottom right corner.
Historical scholarship and Church tradition both place Mary at 12-14 years old.
An all-powerful deity impregnated a child. We'd call that a crime for anyone else.
But sure, it's a "miracle."

Four-panel meme. Top left text reads: 'The media is trying to make President Trump look bad by reporting the deaths of American soldiers!' Top right shows a photo of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at a podium wearing a navy suit and red-striped tie, with a stern, scowling expression. A partial Pentagon seal is visible behind him. Bottom left text reads: 'You're the one making him look bad, you drunken, white supremacist, zealot, war mongering psychopath!' Bottom right shows the anime character Bulma from Dragon Ball Z, wearing a yellow jacket with green hair under a red cap, her face contorted in furious screaming with an open mouth and furrowed brows. The white background and bold black text create a clean, high-contrast layout.
Hegseth says reporting dead American soldiers is just the media making Trump "look bad." Six troops killed and his first move is to attack journalists, not comfort families. The callousness is the story. #GodlessEngineer #Hegseth
Trump just pushes both buttons... no sweat necessary.
unless it's actual pus from his spreading lesions.
Photo of Attorney General Pam Bondi seated at a congressional hearing table, mid-sentence with both hands raised in a gesturing motion. She is wearing a dark blazer over a dark top, with blonde hair pulled back. A white nameplate in front of her reads 'Hon. Pamela Bondi.' A microphone is positioned in front of her. The background is dark wood paneling typical of a congressional hearing room, with another person partially visible to the right. Overlaid text in the upper left reads in a cascading countdown: 'The Dow is at 50,000. . .' followed by '. . . .well, 49,000. . .' then '. . . .48,000. . .' and finally '. . . .welp' in white text with black outline.
Bondi dodged Epstein questions under oath by bragging "The Dow is over 50,000." The Dow just cratered below 48,000. The deflection has an expiration date but the question doesn't. How many indictments, Pam? #Epstein #PamBondi #DowJones
Three-panel NPC meme on a peach/orange background. Top panel: A gray NPC (featureless humanoid figure) wearing a red 'MAGA' hat has an angry expression and a speech bubble reading 'TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT OF PEACE!!' in bold black text. Middle panel: Close-up of the NPC's head from the side, showing a slot in the back of the skull containing a black chip labeled 'WAR = BAD' in red text. A red devil-like hand is inserting a replacement chip labeled 'WAR = GOOD' in green text. The word 'click' appears between the chips. Bottom panel: The same NPC, now wearing the MAGA hat with a calm, content smile, speech bubble reading 'LET'S BOMB IRAN WW3 SOUNDS FUN!' in bold black text.
"President of peace" to "let's bomb Iran, WW3 sounds fun" real quick. Turns out it was never about anti-war principles, just about who's holding the trigger. The firmware update is always free. #MAGA #Iran #AntiWar
A side-by-side comparison meme on a black background. Left side header reads 'MAGA Christian nationalism' above a photo of Donald Trump wearing a red 'Make America Great Again' hat with a red tie. Right side header reads 'Iranian Islamic Principlism' above a photo of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wearing a black turban and glasses with a white beard. Below each photo is an identical bulleted list in white text reading: anti science, anti women's rights, anti LGBTQ, anti democracy, anti free speech, control education, ban books, one religion, pro gun, totally incompetent, no sense of humor. Both lists are word-for-word identical, creating a visual mirror effect.
We're bombing a theocracy while building one at home. Same values, different holy book. Spot the difference... there isn't one. #ChristianNationalism #Iran #Theocracy #SecularValues
