🇺🇸⚓️ - 251 years ago today, the Second Continental Congress commissioned Samuel Nicholas to raise two battalions of Marines in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in order to support the American rebellion against the British Empire. Robert Mullan, the manager of Tun Tavern, was named "chief Marine recruiter." As a result of this, November 10th is celebrated as the birthday of the United States Marines. For 251 years, the United States Marine Corps have been all around the world, and have made history in locations such as the Barbary coast of Africa, to Chapultepec in Mexico, to Belleau Wood near the Marne, to Iwo Jima in the Pacific, and to Fallujah in Iraq, the Marine Corps have demonstrated and exercised American supremacy at all reaches of the globe, and continue to do so today. The Marines have earned themselves an assortment of nicknames, including Jarheads (named after their regulation 'high-and-tight' haircut,) Devil Dogs (a named purportedly given to the Marines by the Germans at the Battle of Belleau Wood in World War One,) and Leathernecks, the latter of which owing to the stiff leather collars Marines once wore during mountainous engagements. Marines have also been a cultural sensation in the United States and the larger western world for many years, featured in many popular movies such as Full Metal Jacket, Jarhead, Sands of Iwo Jima, the Pacific, and Battle: Los Angeles, further cementing their enduring legacy as America's premiere fighting force and the fiercest of which the world has ever known. To our active duty Marines and our Marine Corps veterans, congratulations to you and God bless you. Get some! Semper Fidelis

🇾🇪🇸🇦⚡️- Heavy Saudi airstrikes against the oil and gas infrastructure in Sana'a, Ansarullah-controlled capital of Yemen.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇴🇲 - Reports that Iran struck Didamar Island within the As-Salamah Archipelago with ballistic missiles are false. Current NASA fire imagery displays no fire anywhere in the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting a post from an Iranian state-sponsored outlet purporting a large fire as a result of a missile strike on an island. Additionally, the Iranian military has not announced any such operation, nor has there been other reports from other outlets verifying these claims. The second image is taken directly from Rerum Novarum's MiniMap, utiziling the FIRMS feature; displaying no fire nor history of fire anywhere in the Strait of Hormuz. If an Iranian ballistic missile, especially one that is solid-fueled, had struck a piece of critical US or Omani infrastructure, a fire would be registered.

🇺🇸🇹🇷🇨🇳⚡️ - Leftist streamer Hasan Piker has endorsed giving China advanced American AI chips and the lithography machines used to manufacture them, completely dismissing the national security and economic consequences. Reacting to reports of Chinese espionage targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Piker declared, "I want them to copy the fucking chips," adding, "We want to flood the market with Chinese copies." He also stated, "I don't give a fuck about the national security implications here," and expressed support for Chinese honey traps to obtain the technology. The United States has spent decades and enormous sums of money building its semiconductor advantage, which supports high-paying American jobs and is critical to the country's economic and military power. Piker is apparently willing to surrender that advantage for cheaper GPUs, demonstrating astonishing disregard for American national security and outright hostility toward the country's strategic interests.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Rep. Thomas Massie: A lot of people are saying Hegseth is effective and good at his job, and so they don't want to vote for these articles of impeachment. Well, the reality is we're not indicting Hegseth for being bad at his job. In fact, he was very effective at killing schoolchildren in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There's no argument in these impeachment articles that he's ineffective. The argument here is that he's broken laws and he's violated the Constitution.
