The potential conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is compared to the three-month Battle of Okinawa, where the U.S. lost more ships than are currently in the entire Navy. The terrain inland from the coast is described as "badlands" full of ravines and scree, making ground movement nearly impossible for Marines. Every canyon is seen as a potential hiding spot for Iranian missiles waiting to target invading forces.

Ashley Epp of Badlands Media discusses her coverage of the Colorado ballot trial and her history with Secretary of State Janet Griswold. She identifies the plaintiffs as six voters, including former legislator Norma Anderson, whose family ties link back to Mark Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech and Civic Life. Epp argues that the lawsuit is an establishment effort led by "Union Party" players rather than a bipartisan pursuit of justice.
