I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...
...maybe there wasn't much planning?
No way! ππ€£π₯π₯π₯π

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them βweirdβ still has me miffed.
There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greeneβs deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fullerβs 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.
Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war

Congratulations to Shawn Harris, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran endorsed by VoteVets, on advancing to a runoff in #GA14!
This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won todayβs special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Demsβ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called βNumidentβ and the βMaster Death File,β include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parentsβ names."
This is how it is done. Bier does not back down at all.

David Rivera and Rubio bought a house together in Tallahassee when they were coming up together in Florida politics. But heβs been a headache for the secretary of state ever since, and now he could be one for the Trump White House, too. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

A new FORBES study: the Trump effect is accelerating the concentration of wealth in the hands of the wealthiest 0.0001% of the world.
US jobs numbers have now been revised down in each of the last 13 months, by a total of -710,000 jobs. This means employment was initially overstated by an average of ~55,000 jobs/mo. US job numbers were revised down by another -4,000 jobs in Jan and -65,000 in Dec.
Trump rings up Putin and almost instantly promises to do whatever Putin asks of him. Funny how that works. Over and over. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/krie...
Former NATO chief says says Iran *can* close Strait of Hormuz -- and not much we can do:
-Iran has more than 5,000 mines
-they can be dropped by small boats, even civilian ones.
-U.S. only has handful of minesweepers
-clearing mines could take months.

Did the bombing of the girls' school at Minab flow directly from Hegseth's obsession with "lethality"? There's very good reason to believe that. And it furnishes another reason for his removal, as well as further disciplinary action against him.
I rarely do this, but here goes.
Dems should have VERY clear messaging on supplemental tied to the ouster of Whiskey Pete, Jared, and Witkoff. They've all ABSOLUTELY bolloxed the situation and if Trump wants $$, he needs to get rid of all of them.
NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made βlethalityβ a top priority.

Ukrainian missiles strike βcritically importantβ Kremniy El microelectronics plant supplying Russia's air defense, at least six killed

It's like these fuckers have a competition, Apprentice-like, to see who can be the most inconceivably incompetent.

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
My hypothesis for why Alina Habba and her parking garage husband are getting a divorce is that her boobs simply got too big for the marriage.
