The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.

One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.

      I see the extreme plunging of religion among the newest generations and the deep backlash against the current brand of xenophobia. It gives me hope that things will go back to normal and maybe get some gains in a very short time.

        We’ll see. Gen Z males showed up in force to vote for Trump in the 2024 election. Some of the younger ones are alright, but others are doing the whole Hitler Youth thing. Overall I couldn’t tell you if they’re any more or less shitty than any other generation, but their voting record isn’t off to a great start.

      I don’t see us going back to normal for a long time

      what normal ? hanging black people ? slavery ? segregation ? invading some random country? vilifying native americans? shitting in a river? dumping battery acid in a stream ?
