🟠 UPDATE
Trump Maintains Iran Blockade for Nuclear Deal
Oil prices extended gains as the US-Iran war deadlock keeps supply off the market, with concerns that Middle East production will remain bottled up while talks to end the US-Israeli war against Iran stall.

"'I would also note that under Barack Obama, 197 general officers were removed,' Mr. Hegseth said in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. 'So this is not something specific to this administration.'
"The number Mr. Hegseth gave has no basis in fact. It originated with an unsigned 2018 editorial in Investor's Business Daily, which cites the right-wing news site 'Breitbart.com's Facebook page' as its source."

When questioned earlier today about the generals he fired, "War" (Defense) Secretary Hegseth responded with a 'whataboutism' (deflecting to Obama) and a falsehood (but hey, he got it from a "source" that got it from Brietbart's Facebook page 😐).
Apparently, logical fallacy is now standard in the US government and truth is relative.

Some days, I amaze myself. Mind you, I'm a former Dance DJ, so dance music is easier than listening music. But I know quite a few songs from the first beat.
