BREAKING: Israeli officials allegedly hired social media influencers for $7,000 per post, failed to pay them, and are now facing lawsuits totaling millions of dollars over unpaid invoices.
Trump faces a trap in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran claims "complete control" over the waterway that carries 20% of the world's oil and gas.
Tanker traffic has plunged 90% since attacks began.
Trump wants to offer U.S. insurance and naval escorts for commercial ships.
That's exactly what Tehran wants.
Sending escorts would put U.S. forces in range of Iranian short-range missiles, submarines, and drones.
Iran has 17 submarines at Bandar Abbas. Only one has been disabled so far.
Middle East experts warn that even one ship hit requiring rescue could be catastrophic for Trump's image.
The operation would require escorting 80 tankers per day for as long as the war lasts.
Iran's goal is to turn this into Trump's "maritime Vietnam."
The shipping industry is about to declare the strait a war zone, allowing crews to refuse to sail there.
Oil has jumped from $70 to $81 per barrel. European gas surged 50%.
Trump's dilemma: inaction risks global trade chaos. Action risks a long maritime conflict with no end in sight.

You know as we all do Johnny, that crap you copy & pasted about Beet Juice is total Bullshit as far as you're concerned. The reason your piss is pinkish is because you're so feminine. The red you see in your shit is blood from the relentless anal pulverizing your Mother and Wife force upon you with their oversized cocks.
Maybe if you beg them or get a Dr.'s excuse.. they would slow their anal assault on you down to 3 or 4 times each per day, giving you time to heal between ass poundings.
DOJ just admitted 47,635 Epstein files involving Trump were pulled offline, while the entire world watches Iran
The original release was over 3 million pages.
It's now down to 2.7 million.
Among the removed files: FBI interview summaries from a woman who alleged she was assaulted by both Epstein and Trump as a minor.
The DOJ says the files were taken down "for further review." Trump has called the allegations "unfounded and false."
Interesting timing.
The U.S. is four days into the largest military operation since 2003, just launched combat operations in Ecuador, and the news cycle is the most saturated it's been in years.
And this is when DOJ quietly admits nearly 48,000 Epstein files went missing from a release that was legally required to be complete by December 19.

Iran has the capability to launch missiles from its underground missile cities without launch pads or standard equipment.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards had announced that the missiles have the ability to suddenly burst through the ground.
Iran is the first country in the world to achieve this.
AI Overview
Beet juice often turns urine pink or red—a harmless, temporary condition called beeturia—due to the excretion of natural pigments called betalains. Affecting roughly 10–14% of people, it occurs when the body doesn't break down these pigments, causing them to be flushed out by the kidneys. It typically fades within 24–48 hours.

Key Facts About Beeturia
Cause: The pigment betacyanin (or betanin) in red beets.
Significance: It is generally harmless and not indicative of kidney damage.
Duration: Usually clears up within 24 to 48 hours.
Risk Factors: More common in individuals with iron deficiencies, low stomach acid, or digestive issues.
When to see a doctor: If the discolouration lasts longer than 48 hours, is accompanied by pain, fever, or clots, or occurs without eating beets, as it could indicate a medical issue like a urinary tract infection or kidney stones.
