UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President

As of April 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly begun charging oil tankers a toll starting at $1 per barrel of crude oil for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Key details regarding this new "de facto toll booth" regime include:
- Cost per Vessel: For a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) carrying roughly 2 million barrels, the total fee is estimated at $2 million per voyage.
- Payment Methods: Fees are negotiated through IRGC-linked intermediaries and must be paid in Chinese yuan or stablecoins (such as USDT) to bypass U.S. financial systems.
- Vetting Process: Ship operators must provide detailed cargo manifests, crew information, and transponder data to prove they have no ties to the U.S. or Israel.
- Selective Access: While ships from "friendly" nations like China, India, and Russia have been allowed passage, vessels from "hostile" nations—specifically the U.S. and Israel—are explicitly banned.
- Legal Status: This toll system is considered a violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which guarantees free transit through international straits; however, Iran argues it is not bound by these rules during wartime.

6m ·Pete Hegseth's attitude toward supporting the troops raises concerns, as he seems to treat war crimes as a debating point and deceased soldiers as a reputational issue, potentially putting those he leads at risk.
Remove him!
I stated earlier that when he does meet ‘The Grim Reaper’.
It will a minimum of 3 days to a week before they announce he has passed on.
It will give the Democrats/GOP enough time to get their stories and act together.
And it will give law enforcement/military enough time to get in place for massive nationwide celebrations.
And it will give the US Government enough time to inform other governments he has passed, in order for them to get their police/military in position for mass celebrations.
And the US Government will be informing every government (friend/enemy) cuz when folks mass up in large numbers on the streets, it motivates folks and puts them into ‘Revolution’ mode.
Stock up on food and water and have the popcorn ready when the official word is announced.

5h ·The writing is on the wall with recent polls showing that Trump's approval ratings among independents have fallen further than the level of Richard Nixon's shortly before his resignation.
