    Trump admins share these meme-shit to distract from real shit.

    Pete Hegseth got white supremacy tattoos and fired 24 generals, and brings his wife to Pentagon meetings with him.

    These people are weakening America.

    The BBC reported in 2000 that Tehran once purchased dolphins that had been trained for military operations.

    Caine at first looked incredulous and said, “I haven’t heard the kamikaze dolphins thing” before joking, ‘You mean like sharks with laser beams?” a reference to the 1997 film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, in which Mike Myers’ character Dr. Evil complains that he could not acquire “sharks with frickin’ laser beams on their heads” and was forced to settle for laser-equipped “mutant sea bass.”

    The author could has said “a reference to Austin powers” and that would have been sufficient. but no, they took a whole paragraph to explain why Dr. Evil wanted sharks with frickin laser beams, and then what he had to settle for. That is journalist integrity.

    These stupid-ass dolphin stories have been popping up for decades. Just because some bored and overfunded DoD guys might have attempted to weaponize dolphins back in the 60 doesn’t make any of this relevant in 2026 in the age of cheap drones.
