Well, howdy there, Internet people, it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump, lies, and minds.

Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland didn't pull punches when he was talking about his view of Trump's disputed claims of being in negotiations with Iran.

The senator said, quote,

We know he's lying, when he says that the Iranians are talking with us,

and they're about to give Donald Trump everything he wants.

Yes, that's a lie.

This is, of course, after Trump engaged in his patented chicken and waffles's foreign policy, by stating the United States would begin targeting power

plants in Iran if they didn't reopen the straight. Iran basically said they'd hit energy facilities and keep the straight closed

until any of their damaged power plants were rebuilt. After that, Trump claimed there were negotiations

underway and that they were very promising. Iran said no such negotiations were taking place. So far, Trump has not said

who these negotiations were supposedly taking place with, but he did say, quote, we're dealing

with a man who I believe is the most respected and the leader.

Who he believes is a leader. So he doesn't know?

This is likely once again encouraging and emboldening Iran, much like when he publicly indicated,

the U.S. wasn't sure if there were minds in the Hormuz Strait. It's sending a message of

absolute ineptitude to Iran. In related news, yes, there are minds in the Hormuz Strait,

and it seems likely that Trump knew of a high probability of minds being present, at minimum. That would seem to indicate that Trump knew of a high probability of minds being present, at minimum. That would seem to

indicate Trump was acting like he wasn't sure about the minds to calm the markets. I guess the

lives of the sailors who might have believed the straight was clear weren't as important as Trump

having a good social media post.

So, what do we know about the mines in the strait? It looks like they are Mahom 3 and Mahom 7
