Part of the problem is the Revolutionary Guard is its own thing. They are not controlled by the political arm of Iran fully.
Individual commanders spread out all over the country have been making their own individual decisions throughout this conflict. Its idiotic, but its also the reality of how they run their military in some instances.

So the Strait that was open is now open with the added bonus of passage has to be coordinated with the Iranian military?

Corporations are greedy, its expensive to live in America compared to places like India. So financially it makes more sense to do this.
Either make laws to not allow this, dont use T mobile, or let capitalism be capitalism.
I can assure you T mobile doesnt care what anyone thinks about this move as long as people keep spending money for their services.

Jobs were revised down by 400,000 for all of 2025 in February 2026: Starting at 584,000 ending at about 181,000. Ending at about 15,000 per month which is abysmally bad and insane that there was such a massive swing in the revising process.

This month seems great and the number alone would eclipse all of 2025, but we unfortunately have to wait to see if it holds, because they were only off a mere 222.65% for all of last year.

Why bother posting every little eye grabbing twitter link you see?
Disclose.tv? That isnt a source. Its some bot/random nonsense farming for engagement most of which is just utter garbage not substantiated in anything.

I already know how my statement is going to go to people here.
But the truth is the new Chinese EVs are way ahead of what people give them credit for. The days of laughing off anything and everything produced in China "should" be behind us. They are innovating and they are doing so at a price-point that actually makes sense.
This isnt to say we should be buying chinese vehicles. But we also shouldn't be writing them off because they come from China. Elon/our auto industry needs to wake up and realize the products are not quite the front runner we think it is and adapt.

Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world lol
Its not really noticeably slower than other airports ive been to as far as speed to get you through the line person by person. The difference is there is just so many people.
Flying out of Baton Rouge or Cincinnati etc is just vastly different, you can generally just walk up to the start of the line on a non holiday day, might be a line of 20 people.
As an example. Baton Rouge Airport has 844,000 passengers a year. Atlanta has 106 million. Its just a different animal

re: City officials have had the water cut off to an ICE detention center in Georgia

They really are not.
Everyone here is on septic for the most part, the water systems in place are not built for the amount of water needed to have that size population added.
This area is rural, old homes built in the 50s. The growth moving away from Atlanta is just now starting to reach this county. Our infrastructure in a lot of regards is really not great. And hasnt been retrofitted in a major way in decades.

Was this a secret kept from the "city officials"?
Why didn't they raise the concerns earlier?
It was kept from them.
This started popping up in Decemberish, the city officials basically found out when the public did. After the building was already purchased with the intent to retrofit it to hold detainees.
The news may just now be going national due the to larger act of turning off the water. But Ive been reading local articles for months about this. And they have been yelling about the water situation since the beginning.
Here was their initial response on 12/31/2025:

City of Social Circle Statement Regarding Reports of a Proposed ICE Detention Facility
Post Date:12/31/2025 3:48 PM
Recent reports in the Washington Post and other media outlets tell of a proposed federal detention facility associated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) possibly being located within the city limits of Social Circle.
According to reporting by The Washington Post, the plan under consideration includes renovating industrial warehouse facilities to hold between 5,000 and 10,000 people being staged for deportation.
The City of Social Circle has not been informed of any proposed detention facility. City officials learned of the media report at the same time as the public. To date, no representative of the federal government, ICE, or the property owner has contacted the City in any way, nor has the City received an application related to detention operations.
City staff and elected officials are actively seeking confirmation from state and federal partners that no such facility will be located within the City or the surrounding areas.
A key reason that such a facility is infeasible is because the City does not have the water and sewer infrastructure to support this type of facility. Current capacity limitations would not support a development of the size described in media reports. This proposal could result in an effective tripling of the City’s population that is hovering right around 5,000 citizens.
In addition to the lack of water and sewer capacity, there is not a site within the City that will provide a safe distance from homes, businesses, and schools. The City will not tolerate a failure in security.
The Mayor and City Council of the City of Social Circle unequivocally does not support an ICE detention facility in the City or the surrounding areas. City officials are evaluating what authority, if any, the City has in this matter and will continue to oppose any efforts of this kind through all appropriate channels.
As more verified information becomes available, the City is committed to keeping residents informed in a transparent and timely manner.

Also of note this site is located less than a mile from an elementary school. Your feelings on illegals may be one way. But when they start bussing in 10,000 of them 3 minutes from where your 7 year old plays on a playground you may not be as excited.
There is a decent amount of wrong information being mentioned so I'll try and paint a fuller picture as I live in the county that this is happening.
The City officials were not told about the facility being purchased or converted until after DHS had made the purchase. They basically found out when the public did.
Social Circle is a relatively rural suburb about 45 minutes outside of Atlanta. The infrastructure is flat out not there.
The City has a population of about 5,000 people and overnight DHS wants to bring in 10,000 detainees and (their number) 2000 employees. Effectively tripling the population of a very small city.
The water situation is a very real issue, most of us here are on septic, we dont have the sewer infrastructure that is needed for something of this size.
The local government has been trying to bring some form of rational to all of this but DHS has been extremely stubborn and unwilling to really work with them.
Basically the local government was told overnight and without their input that they were now going to have their population triple in 3-4 months time (this all started at the end of last year) without any real plan on how to make that a reasonable reality.
This is a very red area, Trump won 73% of the votes. The local government are all republicans and basically always have been.
Their political leaning on whats happening can only take them so far when its their city to have to try and manage when they are staring down a basically unwinnable task.

Didn't it become the Biden DOJ months later? Didn't the Dems controll the executive branch for 4 years?
Just pointing out a fact many people miss.
2020 is when the election was. Biden didnt take office until January of 2021.
So no, it didnt become Bidens doj months later. If the story is accurate. Trumps doj stopped the investigation and then sat on their hands for over a year.
Now to the validity or actuality of anything being claimed I dont know.
Just pointing out a lot of people seem to forget Trump was president for all of 2020.

Retail sales in 2025 grew at a pace widely assessed by economists as normal. Where is the evidence that consumers aren’t spending money?
The data from Black Friday/Christmas showed that revenue was up/at a normal rate but overall volume was down.
The truth is people bought less but spent more year over year.
Order volume was down 1%, units sold was down 2%. Spending was up 9.1%
And the worst statistic was buy now pay later options was up 9%
I personally think the main issue with the education system set up in Louisiana is the lack of economic courses taught to young people.
As a proud cajun it is very important to consider the pitfalls of poor money management. You dont need to get a brand new F350 every 2 years to park in front of your double wide. Just get on the bus with Mr. Robear. He has a CDL me.
You're going to see that works good.

USC he had to deal with a postseason ban and a dock in scholarships due to the Reggie Bush nonsense, on top of his players being given a waiver to leave and play immediately without sitting out a year like you used to have to
Ole Miss he had a lot of success?? He gave Ole Miss the best string of seasons in its history
re: Very interesting stat for those saying Kiffin “hasn’t won anything”

People also like to forget that he had USC with a good enough record to play in the conference title game (they had the best record in the south divison of the pac 12) but they were ineligible due to the Reggie Bush stuff. He was coaching/recruiting while having to get players who knew they couldnt play for anything past the regular season.
The NCAA gave the usc team/players an exception to transfer without sitting out a year due to those sanctions (which was a massive deal back then). On top of taking away scholarships. He dealt with that all through out his time there.
Thats a huge hole in the narrative of he hasnt won anything.

Burchett wanted it to be on record of them saying it was the Democrat leader
Thats exactly what im complaining about....
He did not actually want a vote to be called, he wanted the vote to be denied so he could get a sound bite and get on Twitter and get everyone riled up... and have people claim the democrats blocked it.
Why would democrats, or republicans for that matter want this vote to not have names tied to it?
I for one want to know which of my elected officials feel its appropriate to not be transparent with something like this.
Are we just ignoring the fact that they already have a vote set up for this very thing next week? Why would anyone in the house agree to a 2nd vote on the same subject that would be semi anonymous for the American people.
Stop being purposefully obtuse. You know what is happening and you know you are being disingenuous with how you are presenting this.
I hate this timeline. I want to be proud to be a Republican again, not whatever this is becoming.
