It's been a great trip but I'm on my way home and I couldn't be happier.

I got Utah, too, which, yeah I grew up here, but my map is much different than yours. Apparently my dialect is quite a bit different than the majority of the country.

Is there any credibility to this? Has anyone seen this with a better link? I found it on Insta and...I need more evidence.
On Threads, and WH reporter(Jeff Peters) is saying it wasn't exactly staged, BUT ...
"Based on the information we have now the attack may not have been staged, but they knew he was coming and they let him through to create chaos and fear in order to further their ballroom bunker agenda. His brother notified police 48 hours in advance, he was on a watch list, people at the venue were warned, Leavitt couldn't resist teasing it just prior, Trump showed no surprise, and his entire dossier was ready for the smug, smiling press conference. They let him through on purpose."

There certainly weren't any shocked faces at Trump's press conference afterwards...

Someone posted this 5 days ago. I can't vouch for credibility, but it does quote info from the Financial Times. I assume they know of which they report.
Twenty million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

Today the number may be zero.

Not because Iran mined the water. Not because a tanker was hit. Because Lloyd's of London picked up the phone.

War risk underwriters began canceling policies for strait transits hours after the Operation Epic Fury launched. The Financial Times confirmed premiums surging 50 percent. Baseline war risk sits at 0.25 percent of hull value. For a hundred million dollar tanker that is 250,000 dollars per voyage. At peak escalation rates, one million per transit. Vessels linked to American or Israeli Interests are becoming uninsurable entirely. No price. No policy. No transit.

I was shocked! to find this album in my very straight-laced parents collection. I confiscated it for proof.
Herb Albert's Tijuana Brass "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" LP cover.

The cover features a bright green background with the band and album title in a text box in the upper right corner, also in green text.

The rest of the cover consists you a young woman with shoulder length brown hair sitting cross-legged(?) Holding a pink rose bud in her left hand. Her pointer finger on her right hand is touched to her lip. She appears to be nude but is otherwise COVERED in whipped cream. A dollop on her head like a facinator tipped forward and whipped cream from her breasts downward.
