The Pentagon Lied To You?! US Troop Casualties Worse Than Reported & Joe Rogan vs Trump Gets Bigger

TL;DR

The Pentagon understated casualties from Iran's Kuwait drone strike — 30+ troops remain hospitalized with brain injuries, not the "minor wounds" officially reported.

Key Points

• 1.The March 1st Kuwait drone strike killed 6 and was initially reported as causing only minor shrapnel injuries and concussions, but CBS reports 30+ troops are still hospitalized with traumatic brain injuries, shrapnel wounds, and burns.
• 2.Iran is escalating Strait of Hormuz pressure: drones and missiles hit ships in the region, an IRGC commander demanded vessels get permission to pass, and Iran may have already laid dozens of mines in the waterway.
• 3.Oil prices surged to $120/barrel at peak, now sit at $91/barrel (up from $73 pre-war), with gas averaging $3.58/gallon nationally for the 11th straight rising day; one Iranian official threatened $200/barrel.
• 4.The IEA announced its largest-ever strategic oil reserve release in history — 400 million barrels from 32 member nations — the first such action since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
• 5.Joe Rogan publicly expressed betrayal over Trump's Iran war, saying "he ran on no more wars" and that the administration had no clear objective or exit plan.
• 6.Senate Democrats demanded Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio testify under oath after a briefing revealed the administration had no plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Senator Chris Murphy called "100% foreseeable."
• 7.Kristi Noem is leaving DHS with a mountain of unprocessed contracts on her desk, including stalled ICE facility payments, border wall construction (only 36 of nearly 2,000 funded miles complete), and a $70M luxury jet lease.
• 8.A DOGE engineer allegedly walked out of the SSA with a thumb drive containing 500+ million Americans' Social Security numbers, birthdates, and personal data, reportedly expecting a presidential pardon if caught.
