The Dow futures dropped 1,000 points as U.S. oil approached $120 a barrel to start the week. Senile Satan was right, we can’t take all this “winning.”

Oh, cool, Trump got a more moderate Iranian leader, surely not radicalized by the loss of his father and wife.

Pull the other one, as we say, it's got bells on it.

Quite a feat to have stopped the fire spreading to the station itself. The collapsed building is directly adjoining.

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.

It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

It may sound right to some,, but #TtumpyPumpy's government has already tried to interfere in the elections of his European Allies, and plant candidates who are antipathetic to Europe and sympathetic to Russia.

"This is up to the Iranian people to elect their new leader," he says. "They have already elected the Assembly of Experts and the Assembly will do their job. It’s only the business of the Iranian people and nobody else’s business."

The Middle East is on fire. Gas prices are soaring. Jobs are disappearing. Senile Satan is golfing again.

That’s a lot of ground to put boots on. The land mass of Iran is about 80 times the size of Israel. More than twice the size of Texas.

I stand corrected.

My photo shows a view looking straight down an ancient street in Pompeii. The road is made of large, unevenly-shaped, rounded gray stone blocks. Running lengthwise through the stones are two shallow grooves—parallel tracks worn into the stone by the passage of wagon wheels centuries ago. On both sides of the street are pedestrian pavements, raised about a step higher than the road. Beyond the pavements are the remains of buildings with thick walls made of rough stone and reddish bricks. The roofs and upper floors are gone. The street stretches straight into the distance, narrowing with perspective. A few small human figures and trees in the distance, emphasize how long the road is. Above the street, the blue sky is streaked with thin, wispy clouds. At the far end of the street, rising behind the ruins, there’s a glimpse of the dark, lower slope of Mount Vesuvius, the volcano whose eruption buried Pompeii in AD 79.

Wheel ruts worn into the roads of ancient Pompeii made by the passage of wagons and carts some 2,000+ years ago.

A reminder to modern visitors of ancient traffic which flowed through busy Pompeian streets.

I looked up the Board of Peace website.

No news since 22 January.

Trump says (on the site) that it has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created.

I’d love someone to ask him why it hasn’t featured in his Iran strategy.
