The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And what do you do, when you run out of the fancy stuff? You send in ground pounders with rifles.

Anyone Jonesing for Alex?

Alex Jones Calls For Trump’s Immediate Impeachment, Warns of Full Ground Invasion of Iran: ‘We are Facing Tyranny!’

Jones accused Trump of trying to bring back the national draft ahead of a full-scale ground invasion of Iran. He went so far as to claim Trump will use "total war" to "take our freedoms, nationalize everything, and push us aside with AI—total liability, immunity, and protection."

Meanwhile, seems the shooting has started up again.

Iran launches surprise ballistic missile attack on U.S. forces in the Middle East

Iran targeted U.S. forces in the Middle East with several ballistic missiles late Tuesday stateside, U.S. Central Command said, raising tensions in the Middle East that had seen hostilities put on brief pause.

In a subsequent statement posted on X, Centcom said U.S. and Saudi forces struck “multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites” in eastern Iraq Tuesday stateside, retaliating against more than 30 drone attacks in the past three days by “Iran-aligned terrorists.“

So the war widens to both Yemen and Iraq. People tonight are still wondering what Zelinsky was thinking, in attacking an Iranian freighter, while noting that he had recently met with Lindsey Graham, who, Trump said today, never met a war he didn't like. Laura Loomer was also in Ukraine recently.

Laura Loomer meets Zelenskyy in Ukraine after her major reversal on the war

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Laura Loomer, an ardent ally of President Donald Trump with a reputation for incendiary social media commentary, sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday after a dramatic turnaround on the war that could have political reverberations back in Washington.

Loomer had spent years minimizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and amplifying Russian propaganda to her nearly 2 million followers. This week she had a change of heart.

It was unclear what had prompted Loomer’s trip or how she had arranged the meeting with Zelenskyy, which she plugged as an interview for her Rumble show, “Loomer Unleashed.”
