Iranian terror proxy demands ‘I don’t know’ responses to U.S. airstrikes discussions, but Yemenis turn the order into viral satire, exposing the group’s desperation to hide the truth
The directive amounts to a sweeping gag order: citizens are forbidden from speaking about or posting the names of targeted regions and sites, with anyone doing so branded a “spy for the U.S. and Israel.” While the Houthis see the campaign as a smart move to prevent the publication of American operational successes, critics have turned it into an online joke, mocking the terror group’s demand through memes and satirical posts.

No, A 50% Tariff Doesn’t Mean A 50% Price-Hike
Predictably, the panic-peddlers are out in force, warning that such a tariff means retail prices will skyrocket 50%. It’s an easy line to chant, but it’s wrong — flat wrong — and anyone with a basic grasp of economics should know better. Take a simple example. A retailer imports a widget with a $100 transaction value. Add a 50% tariff, and the cost to the importer becomes $150. That importer then sells it wholesale — perhaps at $200 — to a retailer, who marks it up again to $300 for sale. That $50 tariff is now 16.7% of the retail price. Even if every penny of the tariff is passed along, you’re not looking at a 50% increase in retail price — you’re looking at something closer to 17%.

Algos Follow the Money and Reveal Government Spending Porn
Override… “As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting. ‘We’re in,’ Akash Bobba messaged the team. ‘All of it.’ Edward Coristine’s code had already mapped three subsystems. Luke Farritor’s algorithms were tracing payment flows across agencies. Ethan Shaotran’s analysis revealed patterns that career officials didn’t even know existed. By dawn, they would understand more about Treasury’s operations than people who had worked there for decades. This wasn’t a hack. This wasn’t a breach. This was authorized disruption… ‘The beautiful thing about payment systems,’ noted a transition official watching their screens, ‘is that they don’t lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail.’

The “Monster Earthquake” That Just Hit California Is Another Reminder That A Cataclysmic Event Will Dramatically Alter The Geography Of The West Coast
A lot sooner than most people think, an absolutely cataclysmic earthquake will permanently alter the geography of the California coast. Land on the western side of the fault line that is shaken by that great quake will suddenly sink by several feet, and that will allow the Pacific Ocean to come pouring in. The magnitude 5.2 earthquake that just hit southern California is yet another reminder that this cataclysmic event is coming. I will continue to sound the alarm about this cataclysmic event until the day that it happens. In fact, this cataclysmic event is one of the things that I discuss in the secret new project that I have been working on. There was a Hollywood blockbuster about a cataclysmic earthquake along the San Andreas fault that came out ten years ago. What the region will eventually experience will be far, far worse than anything in that film. So please help me sound the alarm, because those that get out in time will literally be saving their lives.
