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?

β€˜Titanic’ statue of Trump and Epstein on the Mall draws praise, scorn The statue, depicting them embracing on a copy of the Titanic bow, is the third placed on the Mall by the artists depicting a connection between Trump and Epstein.

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 Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).

With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 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

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

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.

Iran Can Turn the Persian Gulf Into a Minefield As war rages across the Middle East, every mariner’s eye is on the Strait of Hormuz. This narrow waterway, which connects the confines of the Persian Gulf with the open waters of the Indian Ocean, is ...

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 β€œlethality” a top priority.

Alina Habba divorces millionaire husband and moves to Mar-a-Lago Firebrand Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba is back on the market after secretly divorcing her millionaire husband last month, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.

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.
