City officials in Corpus Christi, Texas, expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to airports, hike gas prices “and trigger a local economic disaster without precedent.”

They don’t worry about war, gas prices, electric bills, and food prices on Fox & Friends, where they are serving up a healthy slice of nonsense and drivel for their audience.

Not in a very visible place though

The service member, who was not publicly identified while the military notifies relatives, was seriously injured on March 1 when Iran struck a Saudi military base where American troops were stationed, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. The service member died on Saturday night from those injuries while military health officials were preparing a transfer for more advanced medical care at a U.S. military hospital in Germany, officials said.

They never managed to get this person to Ramstein. Uh. Why not?

This is why I find it interesting that, in the week after this person (the 7th US service member killed in Trump's illegal war), DOD never managed to evacuate them to Ramstein to treat injuries suffered on March 1.

The things the Trump admin did in the name of efficiency don't seem very efficient.

Um, yep, this says what needs to be said.

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.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

Trump takes credit for rising gas prices

He also said that a “large tanker” went through the Strait of Hormuz “about 24 hours ago.” He did not identify the tanker, and a spokesman for the Department of Energy did not respond to requests for more details on the ship. A small tanker apparently carrying fuel oil went through the strait in the last 24 hours, said Dimitris Ampatzidis, a senior risk and compliance analyst at Kpler, a global ship tracking firm. Its transponder, a device that transmits a ship’s location, was on, which is why it could be tracked. Vessels sometimes turn off their transponders to avoid being spotted in the strait. Mr. Ampatzidis said the vessel, the Parimal, appeared to have connections to Iran. “I don’t believe this vessel can be used as an indication that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is returning to normal,” he said.

This confirmation that Energy Sec Chris Wright was boasting that IRAN was able to get a tanker thru the Strait raises an interesting possibility: That China resume shipping oil, but no one else can.

Busted in a lie

NYT: The video “shows a Tomahawk cruise missile striking a naval base beside the school in the town of Minab on Feb. 28. The U.S. military is the only force involved in the conflict that uses Tomahawk missiles.”

Americans can tolerate a genocide in Gaza, ICE killing and kidnapping people, Trump's racism and cruelty, but I do think high gas prices - in addition to all the other chaos - might be a bridge too far.
