$200 a barrel is misleading. You're not just paying for the container, but also the valuable crude oil inside of it.

If the infrastructure is not taken out and the money is not taken away why should Iran come to the peace table. They are taunting us with $200 oil. They do not have the cards; our military must be unleashed. Time to do what we did to Hanoi...to get them to the table

Armed man rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue and was fatally shot by security, AP source says A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into a major synagogue in a Detroit suburb and was fatally shot by security.

A guy rammed his car through a door at Detroit’s largest synagogue and got out with a gun and was shot by security before he could massacre everyone inside.

And yes all synagogues that can afford it have security. And yes it’s exactly because of situations like this that they do.

In a rapid reversal that left U.S. allies stunned, the Trump administration shifted from opposing the largest-ever intervention in oil markets to cajoling allies into moving forward with the maneuver in a matter of hours. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4bfLpLX

Ending Iran War Quickly Carries Big Risks for the U.S. and Allies Leaving the regime undefeated could motivate Tehran to develop nuclear weapons and leave it in control of much of the world’s energy flows.

“Strategic priorities, like opening the Strait of Hormuz and securing what remains of Iran’s nuclear stockpile, will likely require some ground troops if no diplomatic options are pursued. What we are looking at is potentially a very messy situation.”

The attack on Iran has hugely *increased* its leverage, by demonstrating its power to choke off global energy + critical resource markets.

Unless Trump accedes to Tehran's terms -- including reparations -- the only way to reopen the Strait would be a ground invasion.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

YouTube Lays Claim to Another Crown: The World’s Largest Media Company The influential financial research firm MoffettNathanson suggests that the Google-owned video platform passed Disney's media business in 2025.

"Mainstream media" is increasingly a misnomer when applied to outlets that publish content created by people they employ.

That's now a niche in a media market dominated by online megaplatforms that aggregate and monetize content provided for free by others. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...
