Care to share how Trump's son is a coke head?

Care to share why you have insisted on trashing a thread about a war that threatens the lives of thousands of our military members and is impacting so many other nations under military attack from Iran? Like it's all a big joke to you?

What we know on the 13th day of the US and Israel’s war with Iran

(CNN) — Iran’s new supreme leader has delivered his first written message, warning the US and Israel that they must pay “compensation” for their actions and that the key Strait of Hormuz shipping route will remain closed to apply pressure, as the conflict increasingly spreads to the seas.

Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that the war is causing the “largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market,” as a global body of countries agrees to release emergency oil reserves to help absorb the shock.

And, US President Donald Trump continues to give conflicting comments about when the war might end.

Here’s what to know on Day 13.

What’s happening in the region?

Supreme leader’s written message: Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued his first message Thursday, calling for unity among the Iranian people and warning that the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route, will remain closed as a “tool of pressure.” He warned the US and Israel that they must pay “compensation” for their actions.

Strikes target oil: Two foreign oil tankers in Iraqi waters were set ablaze by an Iranian attack, killing at least one person, with 38 other crew members rescued. Iraq’s oil ports subequently completely halted operations. Separately, emergency crews in Oman are battling a fire at fuel storage tanks, after a social media video geolocated by CNN appeared to show an Iranian drone hitting a tank at the port. And Bahrain said that Iranian attacks targeted fuel tanks in the country’s north early Thursday local time.

Attacks near strait: A container ship off the coast of the United Arab Emirates was struck by an “unknown projectile” early Thursday – after another three vessels were hit by projectiles near the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday. So far six vessels have been struck in the Persian Gulf in the last two days. The straits carries roughly one-fifth of global crude oil shipments. Representatives of G7 nations met on Wednesday to discuss possibly escorting ships “when security conditions allow.”

Hezbollah and Israel: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it carried out a joint attack with the militant group Hezbollah on Israel, striking more than 50 targets across five hours of sustained fire on Wednesday. Israel later carried out a wave of strikes targeting Hezbollah infrastructure across Lebanon, its military said. One strike in the capital Beirut killed eight people, at a beach that was housing many displaced residents. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz on Thursday instructed the military to prepare for expanding operations in Lebanon.

Iran strikes continue: Israeli drone strikes targeted IRGC and Basij checkpoints in Tehran, killing at least 10 “security defenders,” Iranian state media said Thursday. A resident in Iran’s capital Tehran recounted a night of terror overnight into Thursday, including drones flying low over residential buildings and a relentless bombing campaign. “I don’t know how anyone can survive that kind of bombing. I really feel like they won’t leave anything behind,” they told CNN.

Millions displaced: Up to 3.2 million people have been displaced inside Iran since the conflict with Israel and the US began on February 28, according to the United Nations’ refugee agency. Most of them are reportedly fleeing from Tehran and other urban areas toward the north of the country and rural areas in search of safety, the UNHCR said in a statement. “This figure is likely to continue rising as hostilities persist, marking a worrying escalation in humanitarian needs,” it said.

Gulf nations: Kuwait’s international airport was damaged in a drone attack Thursday morning, the country’s civil aviation authority said. Other Gulf states intercepted new waves of Iranian drones and missiles early Thursday morning too, including in the global business hub of Dubai, where a drone fell on a building near the luxury neighborhood of Creek Harbour.

What are the other main headlines?

Oil supply disruption: The flow of crude and oil products through the crucial Strait of Hormuz has reduced to “a trickle,” the IEA said in its monthly oil report, as it warned of an unprecedented disruption to global oil supplies. Global oil supply would plunge by 8 million barrels per day this month, it said.

Emergency reserves: Member countries of the International Energy Agency (IEA) agreed Wednesday to release 400 million barrels of oil into the global market – the largest release of emergency oil stocks in history. Soon after, US President Trump authorized the US to release 172 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve beginning next week.

Surging prices: Despite the IEA’s announcement, oil prices rose past $100 per barrel again for a period overnight into Thursday – three days after it hit a four-year high.

Emergency measures: Several Asian countries are taking drastic action to reduce their oil consumption. Universities in Bangladesh have closed to save energy. Austerity measures in Pakistan have shuttered schools and shifted services online. Vietnam is calling on companies to encourage remote working while Thailand has ordered government workers to work from home.

Trump’s speech: Speaking in Kentucky on Wednesday, Trump claimed that “we won” in Iran, without providing evidence. It also contradicts his earlier comment that “we’re not finished yet” with the war. Later that night, he told reporters: “It’s just a question of when, when do we stop?”

Scrutiny back home: The Pentagon told US lawmakers in a private briefing Tuesday that preliminary estimates suggest the war cost at least $11 billion in the first six days. And in a rare show of GOP criticism, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski slammed Trump’s handling of the war, demanding public hearings and saying that mixed messaging from the administration is leading to confusion.

The school strike: The US military accidentally struck an Iranian elementary school likely due to outdated information about a nearby naval base, according to sources who were briefed on the preliminary findings of an ongoing military investigation. The attack killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers, Iran’s state media reported.

you forgot trump said Americans are making money on high oil prices. He said that. Think about that. What Americans are making money on high oil prices??? He was also BRAGGING about releasing a massive amount of oil reserves as if that is a good thing. Keep on believing his BS. How could anyone possibly believe either of these 2 things trump has said as truth?

Figure out the root of the "coke head" fantasy yet?

Anything about the war in Iran?

Why is this such a big issue? Watch the tapes, we all saw it.

Care to comment about the post above. or do you believe we are making money on high oil prices and releasing reserves is a good thing?
A yes or no would do. 1. yes .... 2. no.... pick a number if that helps

I want to know how Trump's son is a coke head. You said it numerous times, how about some proof? Now there's some magical tapes? Post 'em up.

Don't you get it yet? He tries to seize on any aha moment he thinks he can find to trash a thread about our nation at war and the death of our military troops. Obviously by his actions you can see that.

Oh, c'mon. He's not that bad. It was just a few responses...

Trump: ‘When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money’

“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

https://www.8newsnow.com/news/national-news/trump-when-oil-prices-go-up-we-make-a-lot-of-money/

Now he has made it clear on who he thinks "we" are. And it's not "us".

1 or 2 ... YES or NO?

And then you'll answer?

YES or NO?

Yes I would. I wore one at my own mothers funeral. Like I said before y'all acting just like the old Church Folk that you complain about so much. What I am saying is that worrying about stupid crap like this is just that STUPID and a waste of time.



I agree and what anybody is wearing does not have any effect on that, just like sitting in church wearing a hat or jeans, or a t-shirt does not effect Church.

No I dont believe trumps BS. Do you ? yes or no? 1 or 2?

So today, along with the market taking a crap again and oil going up again, there was;

a man that went into Old Dominion University classroom and started shooting and killed their director of ROTC and wounded a couple others. His students subdued the man and killed him. Somebody heard the guy say allah akbar as he was beginning to shoot.

And a short time later, somebody drove a car down a sidewalk and into a synagogue/school in Michigan and drove down a hallway. the driver was shot and killed by security. The car caught fire and there was a fire in the school. The only injuries I saw was like a couple dozen police had to be treated for smoke.

And this morning SALEM, N.H. —
Stryker, a medical technology company that serves millions worldwide, said it experienced a global network disruption caused by a cyberattack.

A pro-Iran hacking group is claiming responsibility, saying the attack was carried out in retaliation for ongoing airstrikes in the region.

"This is a critical infrastructure type of attack, you know, wipe computers, caused downtime, caused an outage, caused chaos in a critical infrastructure," said Gary Miliefsky, CEO of Cyber Defense Media Group.

Here, I'll help you out. This will allow you to not look like such a fool (at least not all the time). Maybe you can actually get to the bottom of your TDS and avoid spreading fairy tales that everyone knows are not true. You'll really have to give it a little effort though. One sure fire helper - quit getting your "news" from Whoopi Goldberg.

I colored the ones below that definitely apply to you. I want you to know that there is genuine hope, and acceptance is the first step to personal healing. Unless you're actually just as dumb as a box of rocks, if that's the case, at your age, I really don't think I can help you.

And always remember, it's one day at a time.


There are even people that go so far as to derail conversations with far-fetched fantasies like "Trump's son is a coke head". First, is there any evidence of that? Second, could this be considered a form of sociopathy?


The "Coke Head" Allegations

As of March 2026, there is no credible or verified evidence that Donald Trump Jr. uses cocaine.

Fact-Checking: Multiple viral videos—including ones from his father's second inauguration in January 2025 and a SpaceX launch in 2024—were falsely captioned by social media users to suggest he was using drugs in public. Fact-checkers like Snopes and news outlets such as ABC News confirmed these videos actually showed him leaning down to speak to others or were simply "impassioned" speeches.

Response from Trump Jr.: He has addressed these rumors directly, stating that while he had a history of heavy drinking in his 20s (he quit entirely around 2002), he does not use illicit drugs and attributes his energetic demeanor to political passion rather than substance use.


Psychology of Derailing Conversations

While "sociopathy" (clinically known as Antisocial Personality Disorder) is a specific diagnosis involving a pervasive pattern of disregarding the rights of others, the act of derailing conversations with far-fetched fantasies is more often linked to other psychological traits:

Dark Tetrad Traits: Research from institutions like Harvard University has found that people who knowingly share false political information often score higher in "dark" personality traits, including Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. These individuals may use shocking claims as a tool for "social signaling" or to gain a sense of power by controlling the narrative.

Need for Chaos: Some users have a high psychological "need for chaos," meaning they feel a sense of satisfaction from disrupting social order or causing outrage, regardless of the truth.

The Illusory Truth Effect: On a broader scale, many people repeat these claims because they have seen them so often that their brain mistakes familiarity for truth. This isn't necessarily "evil," but it is a cognitive shortcut that leads to the spread of misinformation.

Schizotypy and Paranoia: Some studies suggest a link between sharing false information and schizotypal traits, which include paranoia, suspicion, and disrupted thinking patterns that make a person more prone to believing and spreading conspiracy theories.


In summary, while not everyone who derails a thread is a "sociopath," the behavior is frequently a mix of malicious intent to disrupt, a craving for social validation within a political tribe, and cognitive biases that make them blind to reality.
