Who wants to tell him that if the strait stays closed another 14 days, all hell breaks loose in the global oil economy?

Here's my Sig. Great weapon.

Aside from that, my go-to is a .357 magnum revolver. It lives on my bedstand.

My personal EDC is a Sig P320, because reports of them "going off by themselves" are nonsense, so you can grab a used one for like $400. Great ergonomics, great trigger, outstanding gun overall.

The FBI did ballistics tests and moved to straight 9mm after finding out the "increased" stopping power/penetration from .40 and .45 ACP was negligible. Just go for 9mm. Cheaper ammo, easier recoil.

XD® Series Handguns - Springfield Armory

Don't have to get the special varieties, the regular XD in 9mm is a fantastic pistol.

Glocks blow. Get a Springfield XD instead. They are far, far more reliable.

Dinner: BLTs on onion buns with Swiss cheese and horseradish. I will be taking no further questions.

[sigh] Fine.

*I'm still financially sound, but my checking account is now in the lower 4 figures, so I guess I have to GET A JOB like the rest of you PLEBES.

Some people don't understand that if you go hard enough to the left, you get your guns back.

It me. I got my guns. I want all my LGBTQ+ friends to have access to heavy weaponry so they can defend their gay marriages and pot farms.

Damn, girl, your shoes are kickin' mad fire. Have you ever played Warhammer40K?

Fuck protesting.

We're getting them too! @snozz.bsky.social was shocked, because she couldn't remember ever seeing them here before.

Feeling this one hard today.

We're looking more and more likely to feel a severe oil market shock in the next 2 weeks, here in the USA. Even if Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz as I'm typing this.

Weakest TACO sauce yet.

Trump extends ceasefire in Iran, citing 'seriously fractured' Iranian government

TACO TUESDAY AGAIN WUT WUT

After sifting through everything in the last week... it appears the so-called "ceasefire" never happened at all, and the Strait of Hormuz was NEVER reopened at all.

Iran vows retaliation after Trump says US took control of Iranian ship Official IRNA news agency says US announced talks date to pressure Iran after Trump threatens to 'blow up' Iran.

It appears that the US really did seize an Iranian tanker today. I know, I'm as shocked as you are that the WH told the truth.

Trump says the US Navy fired on and seized an Iranian cargo vessel that challenged blockade President Donald Trump says a U.S. Naval vessel fired on an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman Sunday as it attempted to bypass the ongoing U.S. blockade of Iranian port traffic.

Huu boy

Trump issues chilling new warning to Iran - 'Whole country will get blown up' Donald Trump has launched a furious and lengthy outburst against Iran.

This week's WH itinerary:
MON: The war is over! The strait is open 5evar!
TUE: I'm gonna nuke Iran!
WED: Amazing negotiations! Unlike you've ever seen!
THURS: I am become death to Iran!
FRI: Iran doesn't even exist now! We win!
SAT: Open the strait now or nukes!
SUN: We win! Iran lose!

I have now eaten my body weight in Borscht. Pray for me.

And yeah, I used a recipe I was taught in 1997 from a Georgian. Did it right, an 8 hour total cook time. I did add a dollop of pickled green chile, and Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick. This is UNBELEIVABLY good.

Just served it to two people who'd never had it. Blew their minds.

Like, breathing through your nose right now, you can TASTE it. The coriander, the garlic, the pepper.

Borscht for the first time in 26 years. God the smell is killing us. Serving in 6 minutes.
