If you ever feel useless, remember someone posted this as their attempt at a "If you ever feel useless" post.

Donald Trump announced a plan to build the first new U.S. oil refinery in 50 years in Brownsville.
He thanked partners in India and energy giant Reliance Industries for backing the project.

The refinery is part of a proposed $300 billion investment aimed at boosting American energy production and economic ties.
Trump described it as a step toward restoring U.S. “energy dominance.”

As soon as Operation Epic Fury began to move dials in Wall Street in the wrong direction, and the prospect of international inflation, stagnation, energy market mega-turbulence registered with the idiot king Donald J Trump, who is the shame of the US and Americans, the brakes were slammed on.

The war that Pete Hegseth, self-styled US Secretary for War, championed was dialled down from a projected length of four to six weeks to an operation that could end in days. Trump’s curious refusal to rule out US boots on the ground vanished in a flurry of negative market and economic signals.

The very first day of Epic Fury, the all-powerful US military fired a barrage of super-sophisticated Tomahawk missiles at Minab in southeastern Iran, one of which hit a primary school, killing a reported 160 girls and staff. Video footage of the American atrocity was proudly uploaded to international media.

Then Trump became aware of the child carnage, and promptly did what he always does in any such difficulty: he lied. He immediately claimed that the Iranians had butchered those children in an accidental misfiring of their own ordnance.

According to a report by the New York Post, Ali Khamenei allegedly stated in his will that he did not want his son Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed him as Iran’s Supreme Leader.

The report claims Khamenei had doubts about Mojtaba’s leadership ability and experience.

Khosro Isfahani, from the U.S.-based opposition group National Union for Democracy in Iran, said the late leader had explicitly asked in his will that Mojtaba not be named as successor.

Isfahani also claimed that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps pressured the Assembly of Experts and pushed Mojtaba into the leadership role.

These claims remain unverified, and Iranian authorities have not publicly confirmed the details of the reported will.

The situation continues to draw attention as leadership questions in Iran remain a major geopolitical focus.

A viral photo appears to show Benjamin Netanyahu covering his phone’s camera with a small piece of red tape.

The simple move highlights a growing concern among leaders and security experts: digital spying and cyber threats.

In an age where smartphones can potentially be targeted by sophisticated hacking tools, even powerful figures take basic precautions to protect their privacy.

Cybersecurity specialists often point out that physically covering a camera lens remains one of the most reliable protections.

Software can sometimes be compromised — but a simple piece of tape can’t be hacked.

Sometimes the most powerful security solution… is also the simplest.
