I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.
Trump’s sad, slurry rally in front of 15 dozen Kentucky cousins. Put a fork in him.
Massive fires continue to burn into the night at the Port of Salalah in Oman, with the blaze caused by Wednesday’s drone attack against the port by Iran having now spread to most if not all oil tanks at the MINA Petroleum Facility.

Iran president: ‘Talking to leaders of Russia and Pakistan, I reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to peace in the region. The only way to end this war—ignited by the Zionist regime & US—is recognizing Iran’s legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm int'l guarantees against
Most westerners don’t know this, but in Iranian culture killing someone’s family is considered a grave insult.
IMPEACHMENT ODDS FOR TRUMP HIT ALL-TIME HIGH Prediction markets are increasingly betting that Donald Trump could be impeached again before 2028. On Kalshi, the probability has climbed to around 71% — an all-time high on the market after steadily rising from the mid-50% range
HORMUZ SHIPPING NEARLY HALTED The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed to most vessels as the Middle East conflict enters its second week. Inbound traffic to the Persian Gulf has been at a standstill for the past 24 hours, with only Iran-linked ships continuing to pass.
i would simply not have started the war that closed the world's economic artery
Vietnam urges people to work from home to save fuel as Iran war disrupts supplies reut.rs/4bf05tr
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
lol
*IRAN SAYS HORMUZ OPEN TO STATES THAT EXPEL US, ISRAELI ENVOYS
CBS reporter: In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.
Oil price tanking.
Either Trump is about to end the Iran War or he's manipulating the market to enrich his cronies.
Idaho. Florida. South Carolina is next.
It was a true honour for our caucus to meet with the Chiefs of the Blackfoot Confederacy.
Alberta's New Democrats unequivocally reject separatism, respect treaty rights, and stand with Indigenous peoples.
Always.
well aware of how little people want to be told to drive less, and i love it for this administration
Putin: The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed.
Israel just committed a crime against computer history. By destroying the last F14's they effectively destroyed the first microprocessor ever made. Its like when the Soviets demolished Königsberg Castle.

This one is a huge honour for me RS
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
DONALD TRUMP CLAIMS "I HAVE A PLAN FOR EVERYTHING" REGARDING OIL PRICES IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE NEW YORK POST.
When the State Department orders non-essential diplomats out of Saudi Arabia, it signals how dangerous the regional situation has become. Missile and drone threats tied to the expanding Iran conflict are now reaching diplomatic sites, a reminder that escalation rarely stays contained.
I don't think it's the *most* likely outcome, but I genuinely see the Iran war as putting Trump in real peril of being impeached and removed post-midterms. It started catastrophically unpopular and if things spiral into a major energy crisis we could see some wild blowout kind of results.
The first circuit breaker is probably going to trip before they're even done with the ceremony. Poor Rosie Rios was the Treasurer under Obama and deserves better than this certain ignominy. Her signature is literally on a whole bunch of money that's about to lose a lot of value.
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
I do worry that Trump is going to look at the market numbers and send in the navy escorts to the SoH in a totally reactionary manner that the IRGC has been hoping for.
I’m sure Trump anticipated all of this happening and has a great plan.
Oil Prices Soar: WTI Up 25% Over $113, Brent Gains 22%
*IRAN PICKS KHAMENEI'S SON, MOJTABA, AS SUPREME LEADER: FARS
Tweet from Daniel Pipes: "The uprising in Iran in early January suggested an even greater insurgency would then follow on the U.S.-Israeli campaign to erode regime power. Yet, the populace now appears cowed into near-silence. This ranks as the most surprising and disappointing development of the past week. Without a new uprising, the regime will likely remain in power, less powerful but more awful than ever. (The picture below is from Jan. 10 in Tehran.)"
Amazing how quickly "We're fighting this war for freedom of the Iranian people" becomes "The Iranian people are at fault for not rising up."
