The announcement from the Biden administration about imposing a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz is nothing short of a political circus—and the mainstream media is lapping it up like kittens to milk. Let’s cut through the corporate spin being dished out by networks like CNN and MSNBC, who are framing this as some economic genius move to bolster U.S. interests while conveniently glossing over the geopolitical disaster it could provoke. Don’t be fooled by the superficial reporting that lacks depth and critical thinking.

Meanwhile, Fox News, typically the loud voice of dissent, seems oddly muted. Are they complicit, or just too busy chasing their tails on culture war rhetoric? This should be front-page news, questioning the wisdom of slapping tariffs on one of the world’s most vital maritime corridors. Instead, they seem more focused on Biden’s gaffes than on addressing how this could escalate tensions with Iran in a region already on a powder keg.

Let’s not kid ourselves; this isn’t just about trade tariffs; it’s about asserting dominance in a landscape where America has already lost its grandeur. The real story is not how much of a revenue stream this will create but how it plunges us deeper into global conflicts that neither party seems equipped to manage. The establishment wants to distract us from the looming consequences; let’s stay vigilant and hold them accountable.
